THE FIDDLE ENGINEER

Woman charged with murder

At 90, retired railroader Walt Sisk makes music

W

here does Walt Sisk spend most of his time making fiddles?

Police say homicide was domestic in nature

“In yonder,” he says

from his favorite living room chair.

He nods toward the kitchen table heaped full of pocketknives, patterns, pencil nubs, rules and scraps of wood. Walking over, he picks up a special grooving tool he made himself.

Then he lifts another homemade invention to the table. Turn this dial, he explains, and you regulate the temperature on his soldering iron.

A spot at the far end of the table has been cleared enough to hold a green place mat.

MARK That’s for eating, WINEKA Sisk says to eliminate any confusion.

Later, he leads his visitors downstairs to the unfinished basement.

“Watch your head,” he says, turning a corner. In another crowded work space, Walt points out his band saw, duplicator, jointer, sander and clamping table.

The backs of his violins have four “graduations” in the wood, he boasts.

The tops have three. You won’t find that in factory-made fiddles.

Sisk figures he puts about 300 hours into every violin, for which he usually charges $1,000.

“I’d like to charge more,” he says.

“It’s lots of work. It’s worth the thousand dollars, I’ll tell you that.”

A Southern Railway engineer, Sisk Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST retired in 1986 as the No. 1 man in seniority on the mainline.

1994. Now at age 90, Sisk just completed his 37th violin and has four more on the waiting list.

“I have a problem,” he says. “I can’t get caught up.”

Except for a few specially ordered cherry violins, all of Sisk’s instruments have been made out of maple.

“It’s more or less on the order of a Stradivarius,” he says of the style of his violins. “I wouldn’t say it’s exact, but it’s on that order.”

Before he died, longtime Salisbury violin maker George Edwards persuaded his friend Walton Sisk to try his hand at the craft. The only woodworking Sisk had ever done was manning the cedar chest assembly line at a Lane furniture plant in Alta Vista, Va. That was as a young man.

By the time he was 21, Sisk already was working for the railroad.

School system alters summer schedule to save money In an attempt to save money in a year when there are not enough funds to cover basic operating costs, the Rowan-Salisbury School System has again altered its summer work schedule for year-round employees.

The work schedule has changed from a normal five-day, eight-hour format during the school year to four 10-hours days.

[|xbIAHD y0 0 2ozX Please recycle this newspaper

The summer schedule is projected to save $165,000 in energy costs, according to Gene Miller, assistant superintendent of operations for the school system. The summer workweek will begin at 6:30 a.m. on Mondays and end at 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

The only exception will be the week of the Fourth of July, during which employees will be off for the Monday holiday and

All facilities are to be closed down at 8 p.m. on Thursdays and not reopened until 6:30 a.m. the following Monday.

Community groups that use these facilities should also adhere to the summer hours. Any group that wants to rent the facilities on the weekend may still

do so, but will need to pay the full fees that apply.

Watering of all athletic fields will take place once a week on either Monday or Tuesday and will consist of a total soaking, provided that the field has not had at least an inch of rain in the previous five days.

Miller said each school should have its operating hours posted on the front door.

Brandy Nicole Lyons, 32, LYONS of 613 S. Vance St., Landis, a 6-year-old girl (the daughter of Daniels and Lyons), Lyons’ 88-year-old grandmother and Lyons’ 20-year-old nephew were present when authorities arrived at the residence.

The Criminal Investigative Division responded to the scene, collecting evidence and statements that led to the arrest of Lyons.

Lyons has been charged with murder and is being held in the Rowan County Detention Center with no bond pending a court appearance Monday.

A lopsided election Mystery remains over how Mitchell locked in 80 percent of the vote

BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Chad Mitchell’s landslide victory over Tina Hall for the third Republican county commissioner seat remains a mystery.

Mitchell received 3,962 votes to Hall’s 951 — or 80.64 percent to 19.36 percent — according to unofficial results from Tuesday’s second primary.

When asked Tuesday evening why he thought the difference between the vote totals was so great, Mitchell said it was unexpected and he didn’t know.

Mitchell, who previously said he would be vacationing in Florida, did not return calls for comment Thursday.

Hall said Thursday that she couldn’t guess the reason — and didn’t want to.

“I don’t wish to speculate, because the election is over,” she said. “The voters decided, and from my perspective, I moved forward.”

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 each, according to the Rowan County Board of Elections website.

The greatest difference is in Mitchell’s home precinct of Faith, where he received 224 votes to Hall’s 27. Hall fared a little better in western Rowan near her home of Mt. Ulla, but even there didn’t pick up any precincts.

“I knew when I walked in the night of election and I first saw the returns, and he had a substantial lead, that the election was essentially decided,” Hall said.

When asked if she was considering running for another elected office, Hall said she is focusing on her five months left as county commisisoner right now, which she will serve alongside Mitchell.

“There are a lot of important things that I

Faith gears up for annual Fourth of July celebration

BY KATHY CHAFFIN kchaffin@salisburypost.com

FAITH — With the Fourth of July falling on Sunday this year, the big question is whether this town’s annual parade and fireworks will be held on Saturday or Monday.

The answer is Monday, says Johnny Love, who is coordinating this year’s parade with his wife, Beth. “Anytime it falls on Sunday, we always go to Monday because it’s the legal holiday,� he says.

What that means for people attending the 64th annual Faith Fourth of July festivities is there will be eight days to celebrate instead of the usual week.

Randall Barger, who is coordinating the entertainment, says this year’s celebration is dedicated to the late Charles “Major� Carter, who passed away Jan. 26, and Joanne Holshouser, who passed away on March 8.

Both of them worked tirelessly for years helping to put the Faith Fourth festivities together, he says.

Love says this year’s parade — scheduled for 10 a.m.

Monday — will begin with a flyover of the parade route by a stunt pilot. Following that will be a first for the parade, a marshmallow drop.

Pilot Kim Barringer, who lives in Faith, had done one for an event at Dan Nicholas Park, Love says, and offered to do one for the Fourth of July parade. Barringer will be dropping lots of white marshmallows along the parade route with a mix of colored ones, which can be redeemed for a free ride on a Smokey Mountain Amusement attraction.

Though he says he has no idea how many marshmallows will be dropped, Love says he asked Barringer to include several hundred colored ones.

Another new attraction this year is Huck’s Gem Mine, according to Gloria Wilhelm, who is coordinating the vendors. Owned and

operated by Judy and Larry Davis of Cherry Log, Ga., the attraction offers — for a price — a chance at finding a gem.

A chainsaw woodcarver will be demonstrating his craft for people attending the festivities, and the Windstream Lifetime Tour will be rolling in as well. Easily spotted with its 1953 neon green pickup, the Windstream team will be at the celebration June 28-30 and again on July 4 with a giant Plinko game to play for the chance to win prizes.

A popular competition that will be missing this year is the Apple Ugly Eating Contest, which drew competitive eaters from all over in 2008 and 2009 including such crowd favorites as Dale “Mouth of the South� Boone from Atlanta and Keatin “Thunder� Shelton of Salisbury. Barger says Apple Baking Co. of Salisbury — which sells the 4-ounce, 440calorie pastry — decided not to sponsor the contest again this year. “They just decided not to do it,� he says. “We were hoping to keep that going and get bigger and bigger, but I guess they went in a different direction.�

The celebration will start at 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, food booths will open at 4 p.m. and rides at 6 p.m. On Monday, July 4th, food booths and rides will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Entertainment will be held nightly.

Monday night is Dollar Night with all rides $1.

Wednesday is Food Lion MVP Card Night, during which people may show their MVP card for $5 off the $20 cost of an armband.

There will be plenty of food vendors, Wilhelm says with such favorites as elephant ears by Elsie Beaver and her daughters, Nancy and Beth; fruit smoothies and fried potato and onion ribbons by Mike Beaver; corn on the cobs by Jeff Beaver; SnoBiz snow cones

by Kristen and Robert Friel;

ELECTION

Italian ice dolse by Jason Slusser; and corn dogs, French fries and iced tea by Bobby Jenks.

In addition, the Faith Jaycees will be barbecuing 120 20-to-30 pound shoulders today and an additional 100 shoulders the following Sunday before the main celebration on Monday.

Barger says one change in Monday’s fireworks show is that Main Street will close at 9:30 p.m. from St. Paul’s Church Road to Charlie’s Ice Cream and Groceries. After that, people will have to park on the back streets to get to Main Street. “We’ll have detour signs for people,� he says, “but it would be a big help if people will make their plans to come into town a little earlier.�

Barger says people who grew up in Faith have watched the celebration grow over the years. “We’re a little town of 700,� he says, “and we have during the week over 50,000 or 60,000 people come in here.�

Proceeds from the Fourth festivities goes to the sponsoring civic organizations — the Faith Civitans, Faith Jaycees, Faith American Legion Post No. 327 and the American Legion Auxiliary Unit No. 327 — to support local causes. “Without this fundraiser,� Barger says, “we wouldn’t be able to do what we do for the children and people with medical bills. We just help in a lot of different ways.�

know that are going to be happening in Rowan County, and I’m going to do my best to represent its citizens,� she said.

Hall said she would be supporting the Republican ticket for county commissioner on Nov. 4.

Mitchell will join Commissioner Jon Barber and former commissioner Jim Sides on the ballot.

The Democrats did not hold a primary because they only have two candidates in the race — former commissioner Leda Belk and Bill Burgin.

Sides declined to comment on the election results.

Barber said he didn’t know why the vote margin was so wide, but he had predicted Mitchell would win.

He pointed out Mitchell’s comment to the Post that fiscal conservatism is doing the best you can with the money you’ve got.

Barber said he agrees with that statement and thinks voters did, too. “They want commissioners who can help create a positive environment, create jobs and make sure that our school system is the best that it can be,� he said.

Hall voted this week against a funding increase to Rowan-Salisbury Schools, citing budget concerns in the recession. She has been more reluctant than her fellow commissioners to approve incentives for incoming businesses, but she voted “yes� to offer incentives to Boral US this week.

Carl Ford, chairman of the Board of Commissioners, said he thinks Republicans have a good ticket — and would have no matter who won. “Chad and Tina are both my friends, and I’ve worked well with both of them,� he said. “They go about it different ways, but they both work hard and both are knowledgeable.�

The only sitting Democrat on the board, Raymond Coltrain, said he couldn’t guess the reason for the election’s wide margin, but he wishes more people had voted. “I wish people got more engaged in their government by participating in the voting process,� Coltrain said.

According to the Board of Elections website, 6,481 people cast ballots in the Republican and Democratic runoffs, for a voter turnout of 7.22 percent. Only the Republican ballot featured a local race.

The blaze happened about 6:05 a.m. in a single-family home in Fort Edward, about 45 miles north of the state capital of Albany.

William Cook, a Fort Edward Fire Department spokesman, said several bodies had been recovered, but declined to say how many. “Three occupants had made their way out and indicated there were other victims still inside the house,�

service training, workforce development and continuing and corporate education programs.

Programs based in the new building will include: law enforcement; fire, rescue and emergency medical services; entry-level health care; and pre-college studies, often a first step for displaced workers returning to school.

It will also offer a number of specialized classrooms and other learning spaces, including classrooms for nurse aide and phlebotomy training; a state-of-the-art aerobics and weight training room for public safety training that includes physical fitness as a key component; and a mock jail cell for detention

officer training.

The 39,000-square-foot building also offers computer labs and equipment needed to teach software used in today’s business world.

Space for WorkKeys and Career Readiness Certification is available so students can assess and develop critical work skills for job placement, retention and promotion.

The Pre-College Studies spaces are designed for multiple learning and teaching strategies to meet the varied learning styles of adult students. These classrooms include technology to transition students to college proJon C. Lakey / SALISbury PoST grams and the workplace.

It’s too bad Garrett Spencer of Raleigh did not have his dance partner with him. He could have given his peers a run for their money.

He danced an exhibition dance with Tobitha Stewart of China Grove, his long legs sliding every which way a la Stretch Armstrong.

The crowd went crazy when Spencer broke into the Moonwalk.

The longer they danced, the wider Stewart’s eyes got.

“He’s the man!” she yelled as they twirled around the dance floor.

Spencer just grinned and kept on going.

Young men get a taste of American politics during the 71st Boys State

BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

Charlotte’s longest serving mayor asked some tough questions Friday morning to participants of the 71st Boys State at Catawba College.

Pat McCrory, who served seven terms as mayor of the Queen City before unsuccessfully running for governor in 2008, posed this overriding question to the 304 young men gathered for the week-long event: “What do you believe and what do the people want to hear?”

The point McCrory tried to impress was that as a public servant, you have to understand both sides

of an issue.

He once refereed a basketball game in 1984, calling Michael Jordan for traveling.

“When you’re in public service or in business,” McCrory said, “you’ve got to make some tough decisions, even though the crowd doesn’t like the call.”

McCrory spent his time with the young men inviting them to debate this issue. He applauded one young man for his courage to be first at the microphone. The young men brought up topics such as constitutional and civil rights, health care and abortion.

McCrory sat on the edge of the

stage and listened to all of their arguments.

One student pointed out that in a democracy, the power comes from the people, and so elected officials must do their bidding.

So do you survey the people every time you take a vote? McCrory asked the crowd. “It’s a tough issue.”

At times, the young men lined up eight deep at each of the two microphones, eager to join in the discussion.

“Do you understand the dilemma of elected officials?” McCrory asked.

“You get hit from either side.”

McCrory discussed the Patriot Act with his audience.

“Do you put the safety of individuals above the law or or constitution, even if it means saving lives?” he said.

He gave the example of President Truman dropping the atomic bomb to end World War II, killing people in two Japanese cities in order to save lives in the long run.

McCrory called the governor of Boys State, Jon Edwards of Jacksonville, to the microphone, asking him to name a tough issue that was being debated this week.

Edwards said he’d been approached with a bill for the forma-

tion of a third party for Boys State.

He said he was personally against it, because he supported the two-party system.

“I have to take into account what my constituents think,” he said, “and what is best for Boys State as a whole.”

McCrory cautioned the young men: “Be careful when you’re watching all of these TV shows. Issues are not black and white. Things are more complicated than that, in most cases.”

Recalling an issue from his bid for governor, McCrory said he par-

RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic lawmakers tentatively agreed on a final budget deal Saturday that would eliminate a tuition subsidy for some out-of-state athletes and require that a 1 percent cut if extra federal money isn’t delivered.

The agreement lays the groundwork for lawmakers to approve its first state budget bill on time since 2003. It also would direct state officials to take money from the rainy day reserve fund and reduce the state retirement system contribution to help close a potential $525 million gap if federal Medicaid funds never come.

Congress has backed off earlier legislation that would have given $24 billion to states by extending a more generous Medicaid formula for another six months.

“There were no good choices there,” House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said in an interview. He said House and Senate lawmakers didn’t include furloughing state workers in the contingency reduction plan. The most significant changes wouldn’t take place until Jan. 1 to give Congress more time to act.

The plan is expected to be voted upon by the House and Senate on Tuesday and Wednesday, then presented to Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signature before the fiscal year begins Thursday.

Hackney said he’s hopeful Perdue will like initiatives in the roughly $19 billion plan designed to encourage job creation and protect public education from large cuts. Hackney said the final plan also would create a special transportation fund sought by Perdue for large projects.

R.A. Clement to hold 18th biennial reunion

FROM 3a Shagging just keeps on going, too — and is experiencing a resurgence with the younger crowd, says Goree, who has garnered national and grand national titles for his dancing.

He’s been shagging for 12 years, since age 8, having been taught his first steps by his Nana.Goree said that the dance carries on a long tradition. “The closest people I have in my life are my shag family,� he said.

Although shag is a fairly regional dance in the Carolinas and Virginia, Goree and his dance partner, Torri Smith, who lives in California, have traveled to her home state as well as New York and Atlanta, competing and promoting the dance.

Young dancers are keeping the vitality of the shag going, said Ashley Stewart of China Grove, vice president of the Competitive Shaggers Association, which sanctioned the event. “It’s a multigenerational,� he said, and afternoon competitions bring out parents and grandparents.

That was certainly true at the boat and ski club.

It was the first competition for Trey and Chandler, the only members of their age group. They were warmly received by the crowd. “My Mimi taught me at home and I thought it was interesting,� said Chandler, who’s been taking lessons for two months. Her grandmother, Vickie Chambers of WinstonSalem, is a shag instructor who’s been shagging for 30 years.

Trey, meanwhile, has only had three lessons, said his mom, Debbi. She and husband Don were there to support him and their daughter, Kayla, 14. “We’ve been talking it up, but all of a sudden, he just decided if she can do it, I can do it,� Debbi said of her son.

Judges for Saturday afternoon’s competition were Vickie Chambers, Jay Thaxton, Melissa Calabrese, Tom Edwards and Susie Beaver.

A Junior SOS weekend is set for mid-July at North Myrtle Beach, the mecca of the shag.

makes him “nervous every day.� “But somebody has to do it,� he said.

High School. He got involved because he wants to promote change at his school, he said.

Among his goals are improving the freshman program and offering incoming students more support; forging connections with other high schools and creating better structures within the school with the arrival of a new principal.

As a group, the boys said that overall the best part of the week was the food. They were, however, disappointed that there was no girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; volleyball camp taking place as they first thought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We met cool people,â&#x20AC;? Ross said.

World leaders turn from economic differences in hunt for common ground on security threats

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The logistics of containing the oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico are mind-boggling even in ideal conditions. Add a tropical storm like the one swirling in the Caribbean and things get even more complicated.

Any system with winds over 46 mph could force BP to abandon efforts to contain the flow for up to two weeks and delay the drilling of two relief wells that are the best hope of stopping it, Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said Saturday, shortly after Alex became the first tropical storm of the Atlantic hurricane season.

Forecasts show Alex churning toward Mexico and missing the northern Gulf Coast and the spill, but officials are watching closely anyway.

“We all know the weather is unpredictable and we could have a sudden, last-minute change,” Allen said.

Emergency plans call for moving workers and equipment five days before galeforce winds are forecast to arrive at the half-square mile containment operation surrounding the blown-out well.

Oil has been gushing since the offshore drilling rig Deepwater Horizon exploded 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana on April 20, killing 11 workers.

SAINT-DENIS, Reunion (AP) — Sixteen-year-old Californian sailor Abby Sunderland got a big hug from her older brother Saturday on the appropriately named Reunion Island, and again defended her family for letting her try to sail around the world alone.

Though saddened by the loss of her boat in an Indian Ocean storm, Sunderland said she isn’t giving up sailing.

“I’m really disappointed that things didn’t go as planned,” Sunderland told reporters after coming to shore early Saturday on the remote French island of Reunion, located in the waters near southeastern Africa.

Massive waves snapped her boat’s mast June 10, and she was rescued in a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean two days later by a French fishing boat. It took two weeks more at sea to reach Reunion, from which she plans to fly home Sunday.

“Any sailor that goes out to the water knows that being hit by a rogue wave is a risk, no matter where you are,” said Sunderland, flanked by her 18year-old brother Zac, who flew to Reunion to meet her. “That was a risk that I was willing to take.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities came upon a startling and mysterious scene when they showed up at a luxury apartment in Los Angeles in April while investigating a call about a gas odor.

The door was barricaded. A cache of loaded weapons, including an AK-47, sat next to a mosaic depicting the CIA seal.

They found equipment for counterfeiting money. Highpowered binoculars were trained on the U.S. Federal Reserve building next door.

What followed was a sixweek hunt for a suspect who had slipped out of the fire escape moments earlier and whose evasiveness drew comparisons to fictional agent Jason Bourne.

Police would eventually find their man, Brian Alexik, hiding out in his girlfriend’s apartment less than a mile from where he fled. But three weeks on, detectives are still trying to figure out just who he is, what plot they may have thwarted and whether he was a lone wolf or part of a larger group.

Alexik clammed up soon after he was arrested and his trail has been harder to follow because he used at least two fake names.

known insiders are building an ambitious fundraising machine for the fall elections and beyond.

They started with a bang in April, cashing a $1 million check from a Texas oil magnate. After a quiet May, friends and foes are watching to see if the new organization’s core group, American Crossroads, can reach its goal of raising $52 million by November.

Karl Rove, who was President George W. Bush’s top political strategist, and Ed Gillespie, a former Republican Party chairman and White House aide, modeled their network on successful operations created

by Democrats several years ago.

American Crossroads is a 527 organization — named for a section in the tax law — that is exempt from limits on campaign fundraising and spending that apply to party-affiliated groups. It can tap rich conservatives, such as Trevor ReesJones, president of Dallasbased Chief Oil and Gas, who chipped in the first $1 million.

But eyebrows rose in political circles when the group filed

its next monthly report with the Internal Revenue Service, showing only $200 raised in May.

TORONTO (AP) — At odds over how to strengthen the global recovery, top world leaders found common ground on foreign policy Saturday, condmening North Korea for the alleged sinking of a South Korean warship and endorsing a five-year exit timetable for Afghanistan In a joint statement, the leading eight industrial democracies also criticized both Iran and North Korea for continuing their nuclear march and called on both to heed existing United Nations resolutions.

The statement on the March sinking of the South Korean ship was not as strongly worded as the United States and some other countries had hoped. Russia was cited as a holdout against tougher language.

While earlier demonstrations had been nonviolent, black-clad protesters broke off from a larger crowd on Saturday, torching police cruisers and smashing windows with baseball bats and hammers.

Some demonstrators hurled bottles at police.

“This isn’t our Toronto and my response is anger,” Mayor David Miller told CP24 television.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — America’s top military officer assured President Hamid Karzai on Saturday that newly chosen NATO commander Gen. David Petraeus would pursue the policies of his ousted predecessor, whom the Afghan leader warmly praised for reducing civilian casualties.

Karzai’s emphasis on preventing civilian deaths and injuries could make it difficult for NATO to relax rules of fighting that some U.S. troops say give the battlefield advantage to the Taliban. For now, however, no changes have been proposed, said a spokesman for visiting Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

During a 45-minute meeting with the Afghan leader, Mullen explained the events that surrounded President Barack Obama’s decision to dismiss Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the commander of both U.S. and NATO forces. McChrystal resigned after he and his aides were quoted in Rolling Stone magazine making disparaging remarks about top Obama administration officials guiding the civilian mission in the war.

Mullen, who spent just a half-day in Kabul, also met with U.S. Embassy officials and had a video teleconference with regional commanders in the field.

To both sides, Mullen stressed the importance of a good “lash up” between often strained civilian and military efforts to beat back a resurgent Taliban and extend the Karzai govern-

“He convinced me to do it,” he says of Edwards. “I thought maybe I’d make one or two.”

Fiddle-makers tend to list and recall their violins by number.

Sisk says his No. 1 “wasn’t good.”

No. 2 was “fair.”

No. 3 “was a good one” and went to a woman in Winston-Salem.

In the years since, Sisk has never made more than four violins a year. He considers three per year a good average.

Thumbing through a notepad listing the violins he has made, Sisk reports they have gone to places such as New York, Alabama and Delaware. While most have been made for North Carolinians, several violins also have been built for musicians in Virginia.

No. 8, the violin that went to New York, is now in Washington State. No. 31 went to a woman attorney in Myrtle Beach,, S.C., who plays in an orchestra.

Sisk seems to remember each one.

He doesn’t advertise.

But people have heard about him.

“Word of mouth, I reckon,” he says.

Sisk doesn’t play the violin, but he loves blue grass and country music. “When I wasn’t working, I spent my life dancing to that,” he says. “... You name it, I’ve danced there.”

Until open heart surgery in 2008 slowed him a bit, Sisk went in for buck dancing, clogging and square dancing. It was his love of music and dancing that led him to cross paths with Forsyth County musician Tommy McKenzie.

Several years ago, Sisk walked up to McKenzie at a show and told him he made fiddles. McKenzie wasn’t in the market, but after he played one of Sisk’s fourstring violins, he was hooked.

McKenzie now owns Nos. 13 and 28 — one maple and the other curly cherry.

Both are five-string versions.

“That’s all I play,” the 70-year-old McKenzie says.

“Both are beautiful fiddles.

They’re not too loud, have a mellow tone. They have a good sound, acoustic or electric.”

Sisk thinks the neck of his violin distinguishes it from most. He holds his hand straight out, as though in a handshake, and shows

5 killed in head-on crash on Utah mountain highway OGDEN, Utah (AP) — Five teenagers and young adults returning from a camping trip in northern Utah were killed Saturday when they tried to pass another vehicle on a mountain highway and their car slammed into an oncoming pickup truck.

The 19-year-old driver of the westbound Honda Accord was trying to pass in a no-passing zone on state Route 39 near the Eagles Campground and the entrance to South Fork Canyon when it struck the Ford F350 about 7:30 a.m., Weber County sheriff’s Lt. Phillip Howell said.

The five victims ranged in age from 16 to 22. Two were females and three were males. None appeared to be wearing a seat belt, sheriff’s Capt. Klint Anderson said.

A man, his wife and their baby in the pickup truck were not seriously injured.

The adults were wearing seat belts and the baby was in an infant seat.

The truck ended up on top of the Accord, authorities said. The crash closed the highway in both directions for about five hours before it reopened about 2 p.m.

Authorities did not immediately release the victims’ identities.

The Salt Lake Tribune reported on its website that family members at the scene confirmed the name of the driver as Timothy Joe Arguello, and two of the passengers were Fealina Espinoza, 16, and Todd Salazar, 22. All three were from Ogden.

how the wide notch in the carved neck hooks neatly without falling.

“It won’t lay off your fingers,” he says.

Born in Georgia, Sisk moved with his parents to Virginia when he was 3, growing up near Gretna. He joined Southern Railway as a fireman Oct. 31, 1941, stoking steam engines. A stint in the Army during World War II followed, but he never had to leave the States.

He became an engineer in 1959.

Sisk was a passenger and freight train engineer mainly on the Monroe-to-Spencer and Spencer-to-Selma lines.

Over his railroad career, he went from 268th on the seniority list to first.

Give him time and Sisk will tell you some train stories. He was fireman in a horrific wreck on Nov. 8, 1945, in Hurt, Va., that killed his engineer. “I got scalded pretty bad,” he says.

Sisk was in a hospital for six months and at home unable to work six more months after that.

He and his wife, Dottie, bought the Salisbury house where Sisk still lives in 1964. Dottie died in 1982, and their only child, a daughter, also has passed away.

In his living room, Sisk keeps bows on top of a lampshade for the people who come to his house to pick up their finished violins. He says if he doesn’t keep the bows up there, rug mites will try to feast on the bows’ horsehair.

On a nearby chair sit two violins. One is No. 12 — the only violin he has every kept. When he started it, orders came in for Nos. 13 through 17, and he put it aside for later.

The back of it was an imperfect piece of maple that he filled, Sisk says, with toothpicks. He just liked the way it looked and has never sold it.

The other violin —one made of cherry — isn’t finished yet but well on its way.

That would be No. 38, coming down the tracks.

OBITUARIES

Zenaida Enal 'Zenny' Reavis LAKE CITY, Fla. — Mrs. Zenaida Enal “Zenny” Reavis, 55, of Lake City, Florida, died Tuesday, June 22, 2010, of injuries sustained in an automobile accident that occurred in Jacksonville, Fla. Mrs. Reavis was born and raised in the Philippines and she later met and married Danny Ray Reavis in Washington State.

Together they lived in several different posts during his military career. Mrs. Reavis was a nurse who never stopped pursuing her education. She graduated on May 9, 2009, with her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Winston-Salem State University in Winston-Salem, N.C. She was currently employed at the Reception Medical Center with the Florida Department of Corrections in their Psychology Department.

Mrs. Reavis was extremely supportive of her husband and was recognized for her efforts in being awarded the Commander's Award for Public Service by the United States Army for “the lasting contribution to the overall quality of life for the soldiers, families and civilian workforce at Fort Greely, Alaska. She gave selflessly of her time and talents and displayed a positive attitude, in spite of the harsh arctic climate conditions, which depicts strength of character and hardiness not found in many people. The genuine concern and understanding displayed by Mrs. Reavis reflects great credit upon herself, United States Army Alaska and the United States Army.”

In her spare time, she enjoyed gardening and she loved to read. Mrs. Reavis was a devout Catholic.

Mrs. Reavis is survived by her beloved dog, “Cocoa”; her son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Erin Leeper of Carrire, Miss.; her grandsons, Jonathan Kyle Leeper and Conner Evans; her three sisters and brothers-in-law, Fermina and Tim Keith of Orlando, Fla., Shirley and Randall McCawley, Jacksonville, Fla., and Loretta and Billy Faulkenberry of Lady Lake, Fla.; and her two brothers, Martin Enal, National City, Calif., and Edwardo Enal of Laredo, Texas.

Gobbel shuts out first-place team MOORESVILLE — American Legion pitching duels are on the Rowan 6 endangered species list, Mooresville 0 but someone forgot to tell Rowan County’s Parker Gobbel and Mooresville’s Wes Dumford.

Dumford was great on Saturday night at the Mooresville diamond, but Gobbel (3-0) was a little greater. He held Mooresville to two hits in eight innings.

Rowan won 6-0, but it was still scoreless in the sixth when Noah Holmes finally broke the ice with a sac fly, and it was 2-0 when Dumford came out after eight innings.

“We’d put up 10 runs in about six straight games, but we got out of character tonight at the plate,” Mooresville coach Josh Graham said. “It was dang frustrating to see us keep pulling off Gobbel’s pitches and not making the adjustments we needed to make.”

RUSTENBURG, South Africa — Ghana 2 The nailUSA 1 biter comeback wasn’t there this time.

The U.S. soccer team relied on it once too often.

Life on the World Cup edge came to an exhausting and crushing end against a familiar foe Saturday night, when Ghana — led by Asamoah Gyan’s goal 3 minutes into overtime — posted a 2-1 victory that ended a thrilling yet futile tournament for the United States.

“We tried to push and push,” U.S. captain Carlos Bocanegra said. “I don’t know if we just didn’t have anything left because we had been pushing so much the entire tournament.”

Kevin-Prince Boateng put Ghana ahead when he stripped the ball from Ricardo Clark in the fifth minute and beat goalkeeper Tim Howard from 16 yards. It was the third time in four games the U.S. fell behind early, and once again the Americans rallied.

Landon Donovan tied the score with a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, his record fifth goal for the U.S. in World Cup play, after Jonathan Mensah pulled down Clint Dempsey streaking in. But that was it.

Unlike the first-round come-from-behind draws against England and Slovenia, and Donovan’s memorable injury-time goal against Algeria that lifted the U.S. into the knockout phase, there was no offense left. The U.S. failed to take advantage of a relatively easy path to the semifinals.

Ghana, the only African team to advance past the first round of Africa’s first World Cup, eliminated the Americans for the second straight World Cup. The Black Stars joined Cameroon (1990) and Senegal (2002) as the only African teams to reach the quarterfinals.

CHINA GROVE — It will be something old, something new this morning at the Warrior Golf Club.

Defending champion Ronnie Eidson defeated Matt Gryder and Derek Lipe on Saturday to advance to the semfinals of the eighth-annual Rowan Masters golf tournament.

He has a daunting task ahead of him if he wants to capture his third straight championship.

At 8 a.m., Eidson plays Alex Nianouris in 90-plus temperatures. If the heat’s not tough enough, consider this: Eidson is a grizzled veteran who is 58 years of age.

Nianouris is a squeakyclean 16-year old high school junior.

Busch wins Nationwide at New Hampshire

KYLE BUSCH

LOUDON, N.H. — Kyle Busch spent most of his race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway where he’s most familiar.

Out in front.

Busch won the Nationwide Series race at New Hampshire on Saturday and became the career laps led leader in NASCAR’s second-tier series with

8,118.

Busch bowed to the crowd, which saluted his sixth win of the season in the No. 18 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Busch earned his 36th career victory and passed Mark Martin on the career laps led list (8,117).

“That’s pretty cool,” Busch said.

“There’s one more record I’m after and that’s the win record. I want to try and beat him and see how many I can set.”

Busch is tied with Kevin Harvick for second on the career Nationwide win list. Martin leads the series with 48.

Busch held off Brad Keselowski, who finished second and had his solid run derailed by a poor pit stop. Carl Edwards, Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne round out the top five.

Keselowski stretched his points lead to 247 over Edwards.

Busch left with a lengthy list of

milestones. He won here last year and is the first driver to win multiple Nationwide Series races in the track’s 24race history dating back to its inaugural event on July 15, 1990.

“I’m proud of the fact we made it happen and we had everything go right for us today,” Busch said.

Uruguay advances Associated Press

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa — Luis Suarez scored twice as Uruguay beat South Korea 2-1 on Saturday and advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in 40 years.

Playing in swirling wind and rain, Suarez scored the winner in the 80th minute — sidestepping two defenders and curling a rightfooted shot off the post from the edge of the area.

Lee Chung-yong had tied the game in the 68th on a header after goalkeeper Fernando Muslera left his line attempting to punch away a looping ball. It was the first goal Uruguay allowed in the tournament.

Uruguay took the lead in the eighth minute when goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong failed to intercept Diego Forlan’s low cross from the left flank. It bounced across the goal mouth and Suarez put the ball in the net with a onetimer from a tight angle.

Uruguay will play a quarterfinal against Ghana.

A two-time world champion, Uruguay had not gotten this far in a World Cup since it reached the semifinals in 1970. Uruguay’s victory continued South America’s amazing run in South Africa.

rafael Nadal of spain celebrates after his win over philipp petzschner of Germany.

Obstacles can’t derail Nadal Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — Things got quite complicated for Rafael Nadal on Saturday.

His right knee was bothering him “a lot,” something he later would say he’s “a little bit scared about.” His left elbow was briefly in pain, too, following one serve.

He got into a dispute with the chair umpire over whether Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle, was coaching during the match, which is against the rules.

Oh, and then there was this issue, of most immediate concern Saturday: For the second consecutive round at Wimbledon, Nadal fell behind by two sets to one.

For the second consecutive round, though, the generally indefatigable Nadal came back and came through, this time pulling out a 6-4, 4-6, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-3 victory over 33rd-seeded Philipp Petzschner of Germany to reach the second week.

“This match was very difficult for me,” Nadal acknowledged. “Having a five-set match two days ago and one today — that’s tough. I’m happy to be in the fourth round.

I’m going to try to be better for Monday.”

Nadal will meet 66th-ranked Paul-Henri Mathieu of France, who beat Thiemo de Bakker of the Netherlands 7-6 (5), 7-6 (6), 6-7 (8), 6-4. In his previous outing, de Bakker eliminated John Isner, the 6-foot-9 American who won the longest match in tennis history, 70-68 in the fifth set.

Isner was still in town Saturday morning, having breakfast in Wimbledon village with doubles partner and pal Sam Querrey.

Hours later, as darkness descended, No. 18 Querrey won his own lengthy — well, not THAT lengthy, of course — match, reaching Wimbledon’s fourth round for the first

DORSETT FroM 1B “I got up on him early on the back side,” Dorsett said.

“He made a couple of mistakes. I kinda held it together and made some pars when I needed to.”

Beaver had edged Salisbury High golfer Alex Lee 1-up in the morning round, earning the spot against Dorsett. He beat Lee by draining a long putt on 18.

Beaver didn’t have long to celebrate.

“We stretched it all the way out in my first match,” he said. “It’s tough making the turnaround. We started right back up.”

And that’s when Dorsett quickly took charge.

“Keith never slipped up to let me get some holes back,” Beaver said.

EIDSON FroM 1B “I know he’s a great golfer,” Nianouris said.

“He’s the defending champion. It’s going to be a tough match. But it will be fun.”

• Nianouris defeated David Miller 3 & 1 before ousting former South Rowan star Sean Kramer 5 & 4.

“I just tried to keep the ball in play,” he said of the victory against Kramer.

Nianouris recorded birdies on holes 3, 4, and 6.

Kramer didn’t get a par until the fifth hole and found himself down by seven with seven holes to go.

“I struggled and he did what he was supposed to,” Kramer said. “He’s a heck of a golfer to be 16 years old.”

Kramer won No. 12 and No. 13 but it was too late.

Nianouris is thankful to

time by defeating 2002 semifinalist Xavier Malisse of Belgium 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2, 5-7, 9-7.

The final point was played at 9:23 p.m., and Querrey figured the match would have been suspended and continued Monday if he hadn’t won when he did.

Next up for Querrey, a 22-year-old from Santa Monica, Calif., is a Centre Court contest against No. 4 Andy Murray, trying to become Britain’s first Wimbledon men’s champion since Fred Perry in 1936.

Other fourth-round men’s matches Monday will include two-time French Open runner-up Robin Soderling of Sweden vs.

No. 9 David Ferrer of Spain, and No. 10 JoWilfried Tsonga vs. No. 32 Julien Benneteau in an all-French pairing.

Neither of those is nearly as intriguing as the women’s matchup between 12-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams and three-time major winner Maria Sharapova. It’s a rematch of the 2004 Wimbledon final, which Sharapova won, but Williams leads their career series 5-2.

“I love going on the court and playing someone that’s obviously the favorite,” Sharapova said.

She struggled at the start of her 7-5, 6-3 victory over 68th-ranked Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic. Defending champion Williams, in contrast, overwhelmed 46th-ranked Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia at the outset of what would become a 6-0, 7-5 victory. Williams hit 19 aces and afterward declared: “For the most part my serve works when I’m in trouble. At Wimbledon it works the whole match.”

Other women’s fourth-round matchups include No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki vs. Petra Kvitova; No. 7 Agnieszka Radwanska vs.

No. 9 Li Na; and qualifier Kaia Kanepi vs.

Klara Zakopalova.

ZAMBRANO CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs suspended pitcher Carlos Zambrano indefinitely for his tantrum and dugout altercation with teammate Derrek Lee after the first inning of a 6-0 loss to the White Sox.

NBA NEW YORK — Here’s the biggest story for LeBron James this summer. OK, probably not, but significant nonetheless. Monster Cable Products Inc. says James is set to launch his own headphones line.

“I want to see these big stars go to different teams and switch the league up,” Dudley says. “I want a couple of these stars to team up, and I want them to go to big markets because it’s better

• Heat wasn’t that much of a factor for Meadows, who is from Mooresville and is related to the former Mooresville Legion coaching legend Whitey Meadows.

“I’ve worked hard on getting in shape the last couple of years,” Meadows said. “I feel a little better than four or five years ago.”

To reach today’s semifinals, Meadows had to beat the tournament’s medalist Kevin Lentz 4 & 3.

Lentz was coming off a come-from-behind win against Mallory McDaniel, winning 1-up in 19 holes.

On No. 17, he stepped into the lake to hit his ball. With mud splattering all over him, and his feet sliding deep into the muck, he laid up and salvaged par.

Lipe drove a good shot down the fairway while Eidson put his in the bunker. Lipe didn’t take advantage as he and Eidson both parred.

“He doesn’t give up,” Lipe said. “He doesn’t beat himself. That’s the key to this tournament.”

• Eidson expects the heat to play a factor today.

“The heat is getting to me,” he chuckled. “This thing is an endurance contest. A fat, old guy doesn’t have much of a chance.”

Don’t expect final-day pressure to be an issue with Eidson.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

LOS ANGELES — Southern California filed an appeal with the NCAA, asking that several sanctions on its football program be reduced.

USC appealed only certain aspects of the ruling. Among the penalties were a twoyear bowl ban, four years of probation, scholarship losses and removal of several victories. The school will accept a bowl ban for the upcoming season and certain scholarship penalties in football, but believes the full sanctions were unduly harsh.

After a four-year investigation of the athletic department, USC was penalized for a lack of institutional control. The report cited numerous improper benefits for Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo.

• TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Former Florida State and Tampa Bay Bucs star linebacker Derrick Brooks will soon have his collegiate jersey retired.

Florida State officials said Friday that Brooks’ jersey would be retired in a ceremony at its Nov. 13 home game against Clemson.

Brooks becomes the eighth Florida State player to be similarly honored. The others include Heisman Trophy quarterbacks Charlie Ward and Chris Weinke, receivers Fred Biletnikoff and Ron Sellers and tailback Warrick Dunn.

COLLEGE HOOPS LOS ANGELES — A public memorial for John Wooden is under way inside UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion, where he coached the Bruins to some of their record 10 national hoops championships.

A former neighbor of Wooden’s opened the 90minute service on Saturday by singing and playing guitar on “Galway Bay,” one of his favorite songs.

Among the former players and coaches attending are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Lute Olson, Gene Keady, Jim Harrick and Joe Torre.

• LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky coach John Calipari is already thinking about trying to one-up the night the Wildcats had at Thursday’s NBA draft.

Five Kentucky players were selected in the first round, including John Wall going No. 1 overall to the Washington Wizards. Wall was soon joined by teammates DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton.

It’s the first time in draft history five players from the same school were taken in the opening round.

Calipari called it the greatest night in Kentucky basketball history and says he hopes to produce six first-rounders in the same draft one day.

Though his talented but young team fell short of the Final Four, Calipari says he has no plans to stop recruiting “one and done” players.

Morning glory for South

LANDIS — The only thing for South Rowan pitcher Preston Penninger to do S. Rowan 8 was to get back on the horse, and Stanly 7 he rode well enough to save South Rowan’s tense 8-7 victory against Stanly in a Saturday matinee.

On Friday night, Penninger had one of those stats-killing games at Newman Park — eight earned runs in one-third of an inning.

Penninger’s ERA won’t recover from that outing no matter how long South plays this summer. But mentally, Penninger did recover.

“When Preston got that first hitter out, that gave him confidence,” South coach Michael Lowman said.

The victory kept South (16-4, 11-3) in the running for first place, PENNINGER but it was a see-saw struggle.

Stanly (5-11), desperately needing wins to get into the playoffs, got four hits from Corey Dick and held the lead three different times.

Stanly got quality pitching from Matt Lisk, who fanned 10 and shut down two key South hitters — leadoff man Blake Houston and cleanup man Gunnar Hogan.

Maverick Miles carried the load for South. He had an RBI double for a 3-2 lead in the third, a tworun homer for a 6-5 lead in the fifth, and a two-out, two-run single in the eighth that lifted his team from a 7-6 deficit to an 8-7 lead.

“We had a tough loss Friday, then came out here in a pretty bad mood because of the heat,” Miles MILES said. “Coach told us we had to pick it up.”

Julio Zubillaga and Patrick Bearden had two hits each and both scored twice. Joseph Basinger hit a two-run homer.

Facing a day-night doubleheader, South’s staff pieced it together. Starter Alex Ingold worked into the fifth. Justin Morrison got five outs before winner Matt Miller (3-0) made it through the seventh and eighth.

“All our pitchers battled,” Lowman said. “Every single out today was precious.”

Matt Huneycutt put Stanly on top 7-6 with a two-run single in the seventh, but Randy Shepherd’s single and walks to Tripp Cross and Zubillaga brought Miles to the plate in the eighth with two outs and the bases full.

Miles had stroked three straight liners off Lisk, so Stanly coach Terry Tucker turned to reliever Alex Robichaud.

“I was watching the reliever warm up and all his fastballs were high,” Miles said. “I figured I’d get one of those to hit.”

Miles worked a 2-1 count, got a hittable fastball and slashed a seed into left field. It scored two. Cross’ run put South ahead 8-7.

“Good patience by Maverick,” Lowman said.

“He didn’t try to do too much.”

After Miles’ key hit, it was redemption time for Penninger “All fastballs,” Penninger said. “The difference between today and Friday was this time I got ahead of the hitters.”

Rowan Legion coach Jim Gantt has his team playing well. It has won 15 of its last 17 games.

ROWAN FROM 1B Mooresville (16-4, 14-3) lost for the first time at home to a divisional opponent, but it can still clinch at least a tie for first (South Rowan also has three losses) by beating Concord in its final league contest.

Rowan has won this summer mostly by beating the opposition senseless with its bats, but it showed Saturday it could play “little ball” when it had to. Andy Austin, Preston Troutman and Hayden Untz laid down sacrifice bunts. Justin Morris pulled off a textbook delayed steal and beat out a bunt.

“It’s stuff we work on in practice,” Gantt said. “It’s really not that difficult. You’ve just got to want to do it.”

Sizzling Zach Smith had four more hits, while Holmes

SOUTH FROM 1B came up was hitting one in the gap. That’s what we needed to take that big lead.”

It was Shepherd who threw the beef on the grill. He crunched a two-run homer to center field that made it 3-0 and, before the inning was over, chopped a run-scoring single up the middle that provided a 9-0 South edge.

The home run was his seventh of the season and came on a 1-2 pitch from Concord righthander Eric Brenk.

“I wasn’t expecting the pitch I got,” Shepherd said. “I was up there thinking curveball and he threw me a fastball. I had to shorten my swing and adjust to the pitch. I got it good.”

Teammates Maverick Miles and Patrick Bearden also contributed two-run hits in the inning and Joe Basinger had a sacrifice fly.

“We knew they were a pret-

knocked in three runs, but the pitchers dominated.

Rowan registered its first shutout since last summer’s Southeastern Regional tourney.

The plate umpire consistently offered a bit of room off the outside edge. Both hurlers took advantage. Dumford peppered the outside corner with changeups and curves, while Gobbel’s slider was a thing of beauty.

He had eight strikeouts.

“That’s the longest game I’ve ever pitched,” Gobbel said.

“Nothing that happened got to me. I could spot my fastball and my slider was there all night.”

Dumford matched zeroes with Gobbel for five innings, but Troutman walked with one out in the sixth, and Rowan had runners at second and third after Smith blistered a hanging curve to the wall in right-center.

With a base open, the Moors wanted to pitch around Holmes, but he got a good pitch to hit on

a 2-0 count and came through with his sac fly.

“I wasn’t shocked they gave me a pitch to hit,” Holmes said.

“I was staying ready because Dumford had been makin good g pitches all night. He had a great changeup and knew when to use it.”

Rowan tacked on four runs after the Moors made a two-out error in the ninth. Holmes’ tworun double was the key blow that busted it open.

Will Johnson pitched a perfect ninth to preserve the win for Gobbel.

Counting high school and Legion ball, the East Rowan product is 18-0 the last two years.

“Gobbel used both sides of the plate and came inside enough to control the outside,” Gantt said. “We made one mistake behind him, but he just made an even better pitch to the next hitter. That’s a pretty good sign of maturity.”

ty good hitting team,” said Post 51 coach Jaymie Russ.

“They took some good swings.”

So did Concord, but not BEARDEN until South extended its lead to 11-0 on Julio Zubillaga’s RBIdouble in the top of the fourth and Bearden’s run-scoring groundout in the sixth. SR starting pitcher Dylan Walker bulldozed his way through crisis after crisis through five innings.

He ran into a minefield in the sixth when Concord tagged him five runs — two of them unearned.

“I was trying to keep the shutout and get out of here in seven (innings),” Walker said.

“The defense was making great plays and I was pitching to contact. But my curveball wasn’t working as well as I would have liked — and then we made that one mistake.”

That mistake came when Concord’s Armando Casteneda

opened the last of the sixth with a high infield popup that nobody could find.

“I thought it was out in the outfield,” ZUBILLAGA Walker said.

“We were all just looking around, wondering who had it. It ended up landing right behind me.”

And it opened the floodgates for Concord. The hosts got on the board when Christian Poulos — who went 5-for-6 — slashed a two-out, two-run single to right field. He pulled the same trick an inning later when steered another two-out, tworun hit into right.

South needed mopup duty from lefty Jesse Park and Walker Smith, who stranded two baserunners when he induced a game-ending groundout.

“It wasn’t that pretty,” Lowman said afterward. “But two league wins in one day — we’ll take that.”

Jimmie tops Junior in popularity Associated Press

The NASCAR notebook ...

LOUDON, N.H. — Jimmie Johnson has another win this year, this time in a popularity contest.

Johnson beat his Hendrick Motorsports teammates, Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., to win a $100,000 grant as part of the Pepsi Refresh Project. Johnson’s award will go toward providing financial relief to pediatric bone marrow transplant patients. Gordon and Earnhardt each received $25,000 for their causes.

More than 500,000 votes were cast by racing fans — making it a bit startling that Earnhardt didn’t win. Earnhardt has long reigned as NASCAR’s most popular driver. He can’t even beat

Johnson off the track.

Johnson laughed when it was noted he beat out Earnhardt for the prize.

“Yeah, that’s the impressive underlying note in all this,” he said. “I’m shocked, excited and thrilled and can’t thank my fans enough.

I have been preaching that I have a strong fan base for a long time and I’m glad to see the evidence.”

• JUNIOR VS: Earnhardt Jr. had a super-sized opponent this week: Shaq Shaquille O’Neal took a tour of the JR Motorsports garage with Earnhardt, then strapped on a helmet as part of the TV show, “Shaq Vs.” “Shaq was a great. He was a real professional, a real nice guy,” Earnhardt said. “It was great to meet

somebody like that. He really was a trouper. It was really, really hot during our little war, there.”

• DRIVING STANDBY: Jimmie Johnson had some help at Saturday’s practice. Aric Almirola took some spins in the No. 48 Chevrolet at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and is Johnson’s standby driver for the next few races. Johnson’s wife, Chandra, is due with their first child in less than a month.

“Gonna hang out with the 48 team on baby watch for Jimmie,” Almirola posted on Twitter.

• INJURY UPDATE: Regan Smith will drive Sunday’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway with a splint.

Smith fractured his left

wrist last week at Infineon Raceway. Smith, JOHNSON who drives the No. 78 Chevrolet, was hurt during a multicar accident on lap 67 of 110.

• STREAK CONTINUES: Former NASCAR champion Bobby Labonte could no longer stand competing as a startand-park driver. Labonte terminated his contract with TRG Motorsports this week and was looking for a better chance to finish races.

Labonte knew he was taking a chance that his 595 consecutive starts streak would end. He was prepared to stay home, rather than drive in a car that would not finish.

BUSCH FROM 1B gan Shepherd early and went into the wall only seven laps into the race. The IndyCar regular posted her best finish in four Nationwide races.

“It was a bummer to get lapped so many times,” Patrick said.

Patrick started 25th in her first NASCAR race since February and ran into trouble in her No. 7 Chevrolet almost instantly.

Shepherd got loose and sent Patrick into the wall.

She radioed to her crew “he totally took me out.”

Patrick returned to the track a lap down and never got any momentum. She later tapped Shepherd to let him know she didn’t appreciate getting caught up in the early accident.

“I was thinking out there at the end that it reminds me a

lot of my first couple of short oval races in an IndyCar,” she said. “I got lapped liked a ton of times in those. It’s part of the process, it’s part of learning and I know these things are going to happen.”

The 68-year-old Shepherd — 40 years older than Patrick — was apologetic.

“Anybody who tries to pass her needs to be patient.

She’s got a very fast race car,” he said. “I hate that I got into her.”

Patrick fared no better than 31st in three starts on the Nationwide Series in February. “There’s a lot for me to learn,” she said.

Busch has it mastered.

He maneuvered up front on the strength of some long runs and held off a nipping Keselowski. Keselowski, who started from the pole, could have made it a two-car race to the finish until a slow pit stop with about 50 laps to go dropped him to seventh.

The online training will be offered statewide through North Carolina’s three Farm Credit associations. The Farm Credit University curriculum includes financial and business planning, budgeting and other money matters essential to a farm’s success.

Farm Credit’s e-learning program targets young, be-

Business Roundup ginning, small and minority farmers throughout the state.

Participants will be assigned a Farm Credit loan officer to serve as their mentor throughout the course.

Highlights of the program include modules that cover business and personal financial planning, understanding income statements, cash flow, and the smart use of credit on

the farm. Each participant will have completed a business plan for their operation at the conclusion of the class.

Priority will be given to former tobacco farmers and others impacted by the tobacco buyout.

AgCarolina Financial, Cape Fear Farm Credit and Carolina Farm Credit will be accepting applications for the program which will begin in October 2010 and run through March 2011. Applications, a course outline and program information are available at the following websites: www.CarolinaFarmCredit.com,www.Ag carolina.com, www.CapeFearFarmCredit.com.

Applications will be accepted through Sept. 1, 2010.

Individuals selected for the program will be notified after Sept. 15.

“This is a unique opportunity for a group of farmers to learn and benefit in ways that will certainly improve their family farm operations,” said William Upchurch, executive director of the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission.

Cleveland’s 24/7 Total Fitness offers unique workout experience

BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

CLEVELAND — If you’re looking for a gym that looks after you, 24/7 Total Fitness in Cleveland is the place.

The gym is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Its owner, Freddie Clarke, has been in the gym and physical fitness training business for 27 years, and wanted to offer Cleveland something that it lacked.

“We wanted to open for the community here,” he said.

Clarke also wanted to offer the amenity of being open 24 hours a day, something he says isn’t offered anywhere close by.

“With everyone’s work schedules now, it gives them no excuse not to work out,” he said.

Clarke said that if members are worried about safety after hours, there are cameras in the gym that feed into the office computer, his laptop and his home computer. There are also necklaces members can

wear that call 911 and Clarke’s cell phone when pressed. And, after hour entry is done by a keypad on the door.

During peak hours the gym is fully staffed with Clarke and trainer Justin Wilkinson, who has worked with Clarke for more than five years.

The gym is equipped with the latest 2010 Life Fitness equipment, as well as flatscreen televisions in the treadmill room.

There are also cross trainers, ellipticals, bikes, a free weight room with hammer strength equipment, a fully equipped circuit training room, restrooms and water fountains.

Clarke offers vitamins and supplements at wholesale prices, also.

An added bonus are two free fitness evaluations and consultations.

“We make our members feel comfortable and let them know they’ve got to crawl before they walk,” Clarke said.

What’s in store for me if I cancel my store credit cards?

BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Features Syndicate

Dear Bruce:I have several department store credit cards that I have not used in many years. I would like to cancel them, but I am told that canceling cards can lower your credit rating. My credit rating is 800. I own my house and car and all of my bills are paid in full every month. I don’t want to risk my credit rating. What do I do?

— M.A. via e-mail

DEAR M.A.: Like you, I have department store cards that I have not used for many years and a couple I have not used at all. The only reason I opened them was because I was making a large purchase and by opening a card, I was promised a 10 percent discount on my purchase. Congratulations on an 800 credit rating; very few of us are fortunate enough to

Smart money have that high of a score. It is true that canceling credit cards will lower your credit rating, but since you are not using them and they are not charging any kind of a fee to keep them placed, where is the advantage in canceling them? Put them away or cut the cards in half, and check your statements from time to time to make sure there is no identity theft, but other than that, there is no advantage to you canceling them. Sooner or later the stores will cancel them, due to non-use, and that doesn’t affect your credit rating.

DEAR BRUCE: When I got married, we signed a prenup. I have life rights in the house and so does my ex. The house belongs to his daughter. He walked out and filed for divorce. The judge

I am wondering why you mention that his life expectancy has expired. I see no relevancy in your question to that. I hate to say it, but you’re going to have to find a way to be represented by council in this matter.

DEAR P.B.: You mentioned you have a prenup giving you life rights.

I assume the life rights were included in some way in writing from his daughter, otherwise neither of you would have the right to life rights.

The owner of the property would have to agree to that. I have no idea why the judge ordered the payment.

I have to believe that you were not represented by council in the matter, perhaps for financial reasons. You in-

I do not believe it is in the law for me to pay him under the circumstances.

I am also disabled from a brain tumor. It is not right to put this burden on me. Please advise me where to go to get this unlawful act by the judge turned around. By the way, I am 64 and my ex is 84 years old. His life expectancy is already expired.

Goldman told to pay creditors in Bayou scam $20.6M

Labor Commissioner presents annual safety awards The 58th Annual Safety Awards Luncheon, hosted by the Cabarrus Regional Chamber of Commerce, was held Friday, June 18, at Cabarrus C o u n t r y Club. Twenty-five area companies and governBERRY mental entities were awarded 81 awards for safety records achieved during 2009.

Commissioner Cherie Berry was on hand to speak to the winners and present them with awards earned.

Two categories are represented by the awards achieved. “Silver” represents rate of days away from work at 50 percent below the industry average. “Gold” reflects rate of days away from work, job transfer or restriction at 50 percent below the industry average.

“We want every North Carolina employee to be able to kiss their families goodbye when they leave for work and kiss them hello when they return from work,” Berry said.

“We are disappointed with the award and are considering our options,” said Goldman spokesman Ed Canaday.

Arbitration cases are rarely overturned, however.

Intelisano maintains that the award will encourage other brokers and clearing houses to act if there is an indication their clients engage in questionable activity.

“I don’t think that this is the last time that someone’s going to steal money at a hedge fund,” he said. “Now the firms that clear all those trades will have to pay more attention.”

according to Intelisano.

The case, heard by the FINRA panel, centered on the Bayou investors’ claim that Goldman either knew or should have known of the deception, because it had marketing materials claiming consistent investment gains as well as account records showing losses.

“They should have done an investigation,” said Intelisano. “They would have discovered, at least, that there was something wrong.”

Goldman, in its response in the case, maintained it never controlled the funds in question or offered investment advice to Bayou, but merely processed the trades made by Bayou. The investment bank said it did not know of the

The fraud totaled about $250 million. The victims were mostly individuals who invested relatively modest amounts, about $300,000 to $500,000, Intelisano said.

They were promised annual returns of 10 percent to 12 percent. Goldman maintained in its response in the case that the defrauded investors were “institutional and other highly sophisticated investors.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. has been ordered to pay $20.6 million to scammed investors who say the investment bank should have known about the Ponzi scheme pulled off by the collapsed Bayou Hedge Funds.

A three-person arbitration panel of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority held the bank’s Goldman Sachs Execution & Clearing unit, formerly known as Spear Leeds & Kellogg, liable in the dispute.

Stamford, Conn.-based Bayou collapsed in 2005, after the firm’s then-CEO Samuel Israel III and Chief Financial Officer Daniel Marino admitted they lied about the company’s profits and set up a fake accounting firm to falsify audits.

The $20.6 million award represents the money Bayou deposited into its accounts at Goldman, said attorney Ross Intelisano of Rich & Intelisano LLP, a New York

Jackson’s Victory Tour glove sells for $190K LAS VEGAS (AP) — Bidders from around the world bought up Michael Jackson memorabilia worth nearly $1 million at an auction on the anniversary of his death, including $190,000 for the Swarovski-crystal-studded glove he wore on his 1984 Victory Tour.

The bidding that began Friday on more than 200 items was “unlike anything we’ve ever experienced,” said Darren Julien of Julien Auctions, which ran the auction at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

Some items, like the glove, brought 10 times more than their estimated value, he said.

“It just shows you Michael Jackson is the most sought after and most collectible celebrity of all time. It was just phenomenal,” Julien told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

“People flew in from Asia, Russia, all over. Now that he’s gone, we now realize the true legend we lost,” said Julien, who has not had a similar auction in his 15 years in the business. He predicted the sales would easily top $1 million by the time the auction wrapped up Sunday.

The glove had been expected to sell for between $20,000 and $30,000. The $190,000 sale price included the buyer’s premium of $30,000, a standard industry fee that goes to the auction house, Julien said.

The winning bidder was Wanda Kelley of Los Angeles, who also bought a number of Jackson’s albums at the auction, the Las Vegas Sun reported. She said she was prepared to go higher if necessary.

“Let’s just say I wasn’t walking out of here without that glove,” she said.

A pair of Jackson’s stageworn loafers that were listed as worth $2,000 to $3,000 went for $90,000.

The custom jacket that the pop singer was wearing during his interview with

Barbara Walters was listed at $6,000 to $8,000. It sold for $120,000.

A white Fedora sold for $56,250. One of the last autographs Jackson signed, and dated June 24, 2009, in his handwriting, went for $21,000.

Non-Jackson items that sold at the auction included: • A Jimi Hendrix Fender guitar for $180,000.

• Prince’s “Purple Rain” handwritten lyrics, which sold for $66,000.

• An Elvis Presley shirt worn in 1956 on “The Milton Berle Show,” which fetched $61,200.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Regulators on Friday shut down banks in Florida, Georgia and New Mexico, lifting to 86 the number of U.S. bank failures this year.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. took over Peninsula Bank, based in Englewood, Fla., with $644.3 million in assets and $580.1 million in deposits. The agency also seized First National Bank in Savannah, Ga., with $252.5 million in assets and $231.9 million in deposits, and High Desert State Bank, based in Albuquerque, N.M., with $80.3 million in assets and $81 million in deposits.

Miami-based Premier American Bank agreed to assume the assets and deposits of Peninsula Bank.

In addition, the FDIC and Premier American Bank agreed to share losses on $437.6 million of Peninsula Bank’s assets.

The Savannah Bank is assuming all the deposits and some of the assets of First National Bank; the FDIC will retain most of the assets for eventual sale.

Sunday, June 27 There will be many very good opportunities in the year ahead to develop some ideas you've been carrying around in your mind for a long time. If you carefully manage what you conceive, the rewards you're seeking will be manifest.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — When a decision has to be made, don't discount your views on it. Your judgment is likely to be a notch or two above your fellow man, so speak up and let your reasoning be known.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Although this may normally be a day of rest for you, the industrious mood you're in could encourage you to take on that big project you've been putting off. It might be now or never.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Spending some time with a friend might take the edge off of a serious situation that's been dogging your heels. It'll be just the break you need, and is likely to do you a lot of good.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There will be nothing more important to you than your family and loved ones. You'll put their needs first and help out in any way that you can, even if it means giving up your own plans.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Take advantage of any opportunity you get to have that serious discussion you've been hankering to get at with a friend. Chances are it will work out far better than you ever thought.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - The ability to handle your resources could be surprisingly good at this juncture. For reasons you can't explain, you'll put spontaneous spending on the back burner and make only careful purchases.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — It isn't unreasonable for you not to allow others to impose upon your time or waste your precious hours. Today is likely to be a perfect example of you controlling those you're with and how long you're with them.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — In order for you to be productive and feel good about yourself, you will need to finish each and every task you tackle. Take on one job at a time and finish it before moving on.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Plans you lay out in your mind are destined to work out wonderfully. This is because you will be extremely realistic about your time and the people you'd like to share it with.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Usually you're your own person and have little interest in what others think about what you're doing. Today, however, approval could be important to you, even in some small way.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You are never one who treats your responsibilities lightly, yet today your behavior could show a different side of you. You might actually turn a blind eye to duty, and play most of the day.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you have something on your mind that you would like to do with another, this is a good day to plan it with the help of someone who is as imaginative as you are. Joint endeavors work today.

20 years later, ‘Days of Thunder’ still resonates with fans

CHARLOTTE (AP) — “Rubbin’, son, is racin’,” or so said Harry Hogge to a worldwide audience in the summer of 1990, when NASCAR was a niche, regional sport that had yet to pique much mainstream interest.

Tom Cruise was into it, though, and that was good enough.

Riding high from his “Top Gun” fame, the actor had an idea for a movie based on fast

cars and the characters who raced them. And so began the making of “Days of Thunder,” a critically panned summer blockbuster that was largely lampooned throughout the NASCAR industry for its exaggeration and overindulgence.

But underneath all that Hollywood glitz and glamour ran currents of truth, and as the film celebrates its 20th anniversary today, it’s still wild-

The “shop” where the team built its cars was an old barn Hendrick owned not far from his lake house, and the racing footage was captured from actual events with the late Bobby Hamilton competing in a car equipped with a camera.

Towne leaned heavily on Hendrick and his staff, race promoter Humpy Wheeler, ESPN reporter Jerry Punch and every NASCAR driver who would speak to them.

“The drivers were more fun than any group of people I had met before,” Towne said.

“The thing about it is they are the greatest storytellers in the world. I think I had arguably as good a time as I’ve ever had on a movie. It was just endless fun.”

Towne spent time a great deal of time with Hyde, and picked the brains of Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Rusty Wallace, Bodine and “one very memorable afternoon with the late Dale Earnhardt, who was wonderfully colorful and had just a great sense of humor.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. said on Friday that he remembers the day 20 years ago when Cruise and Towne came to visit his father at Earnhardt’s shop.

“Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?” he said. “That was a thrill for me and my sister, Kelley. We anticipated that movie coming out. It was interesting to see our sport be put into the mainstream and be a part of that.”

The film was primarily a vehicle for Cruise, who played Trickle as a tamer version of Richmond, NASCAR’s talented party boy who had died in 1989 from complications of AIDS.

Fred Thompson played “Big John” which was obviously a takeoff on NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr., and the scene where Cruise’s Trickle and Michael Rooker’s Burns are summoned down to Daytona Beach for a tongue-lashing by the boss was a re-creation of an actual meeting France called for Earnhardt and Geoff Bodine.

“So many of the things really did happen,” said Hendrick. “They took bits and pieces, they took the characters, they took how I got started — when Randy Quaid went out to talk to Harry about getting back into racing (the opening scene), the car he was driving was my white Caprice.

But it didn’t really happen that way: Harry was always after me. So some of the stuff had been changed for Hollywood.”

Even some of the dialogue was lifted from real-life situations.

“You build me a car, I’ll win you Daytona,” Trickle tells Hogge in trying to convince the crew chief to come out of retirement to work with the hotshot driver.

In reality, it was Hyde who told Hendrick: “Let me build a car, and I’ll win you Charlotte,” Hendrick recalled with a smile. “And I was stupid enough to believe him.”

Cruise recruited Oscarwinning screenwriter Robert Towne (“Chinatown”) for the script, and the two descended on Charlotte to learn everything they could about NASCAR. Cruise stayed in Hendrick’s lake house, while a neighbor’s house was secured for Nicole Kidman, who played Cruise’s love interest.

Actor tom cruise in a scene from the movie ‘days of thunder.’

Although it was critically panned, the movie still has a cult following in NAscAr as it celebrates its 20th anniversary today.

ly popular with a cult-like following.

“We worked hard to bring audiences right into the thrilling, high-powered world of NASCAR racing,” said producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

“I’m really pleased that the film has taken on a life of its own and, like NASCAR, stood the test of time, with a new generation rediscovering the film.”

The fan base goes from the viewer who can recite every line in the movie and can’t turn the channel when it pops up on cable, to a current crop of NASCAR drivers who watched the film or played the video game as little boys and knew that’s what they wanted to do when they grew up.

“What’s there not to love about ’Days of Thunder?’ “ Kyle Busch deadpanned when asked what he liked about the movie.

So smitten with the movie as a child, NASCAR’s resident bad boy “borrowed” a character from the film when he rebranded a Truck Series ride from the No. 15 to the No. 51 and had the name “Rowdy” painted above the door. It was an homage to Cruise’s nemesis in the film, Rowdy Burns, a tough-as-nails superstar who ruled the race track.

The character was largely based on Dale Earnhardt, while Cruise’s Cole Trickle was a sketch of the late Tim Richmond. Randy Quaid was a slicker version of team owner Rick Hendrick, and Robert Duvall’s crew chief Hogge was, as Hendrick said, “a better Harry Hyde than Harry Hyde ever was. That just blew me away.”

Gifts from the garden This is an excerpt from “Hey, cameraman,” a blog about photography by the Salisbury Post’s Jon Lakey. veryone needs a goal. This week I had a doozie. I just know that somewhere in Rowan County a beautiful photograph is hiding away waiting for an intrepid photographer to find and capture. The goal: snapping beans. I am going to assume that everyone knows what “snapping beans” involves. (If I just had the picture that I can see so clearly in my head, I would show you.) Let's just say the process usually involves a garden.

So let the hunt begin.

On Monday, Mark Wineka and I were traveling around Salisbury, Spencer and East Spencer on the JON hunt for a typical first day LAKEY of summer photo package for the front page. I took some pictures of a couple kids playing basketball in Cannon Park and before I left I asked them if they knew of anyone “snapping beans.” No luck. Later that afternoon after the hot weather pictures were finished, I went looking for that silhouette of a person under a large tree with a bucket at their feet. I spied lots of gardens, but no one was outside. I know it’s hot, but that’s why God made shade trees.

On Tuesday, I posed the question to Mickey Evans, who just finished voting at the Locke Fire Department. He told me of a garden along Woodleaf Road near 801 that he was sure someone would be in. I don’t think I found the one I was looking for, but I did see a figure in a garden up the road a bit. (I always wonder what people are thinking when I arrive unannounced with a camera in hand). Today, I meet Mr. Bobby Safley, who was filling a 5 gallon bucket with tomatoes and cucumbers. I believe he was just as happy to see me as I was him. I was looking for a picture to take, and Mr. Safley was looking for someone to give some vegetables to. I don’t take gifts from people I am photographing for ethical reasons, but growing up in the South, I know when someone offers me tomatoes three times, I’d better accept.

I still have not met my goal yet, but I did meet some very nice Rowanians and got very nice tomatoes to boot.

Confirmation hearings begin Monday for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, shown here meeting with Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., during a May visit to Capitol Hill.

Kagan’s course Nominee credits success to hard work, focus

BY NANCY BENAC Associated Press

ASHINGTON — For all the ink devoted to Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan lately, it may be her own words that best explain her success at charting an undeviating course to the front steps of the high court.

She’s excelled by dint of hard work, smarts and what she describes as good “situation sense” — the ability to size up her surroundings and figure out what truly matters, as she put it during confirmation hearings for her last job, as President Barack Obama’s solicitor general, the government’s top lawyer.

It’s what allowed Kagan to channel the thinking of legal giant Thurgood Marshall when she was a “27-year-old pipsqueak” clerk to the justice.

It’s what allowed Kagan to navigate through the land mines of government policy on abortion, tobacco and other contentious issues as an adviser to President Bill Clinton.

It’s what allowed Kagan to thrive as the first female dean of Harvard Law School and even foster detente within its famously fractious faculty.

Now, 50-year-old Elena Kagan stands before the Senate, confident she will be judged ready to join the justices whom she calls “fabulously smart, fabulously interesting people.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee begins hearings Monday on Kagan’s nomination.

While Republicans have done plenty of grumbling about her liberal political views, all sides anticipate she will be confirmed before the Senate’s August recess as the court’s youngest justice.

Kagan, we’ve learned, has made it her life’s mission to be ready.

She posed in judicial robes in her high school yearbook. She considered her stint on a college newspaper good filler for a law school application. She once lamented the defeat of a Democratic Senate candidate whom she’d worked for by wondering aloud, “How will I get a job now?”

Asked what she was most proud of, Kagan last year told National Public Radio: “Working really, really hard, and achieving as much as I could.”

Kagan’s work has been her life.

Groomed to achieve from her earliest years, Kagan’s made-to-order resume starts with Princeton, Oxford and Harvard. A clerkship under Marshall at the Supreme Court gives way to stints in private practice, teaching, the Clinton White

W

The Kagan file Birth: April 28, 1960, in Manhattan.

Education: Princeton University (A.B.), Oxford University (M.A., Philosophy), Harvard Law School (J.D.) Career: attorney in private practice; professor at Harvard Law School and later its dean; associate counsel to President Bill Clinton; named U.S. Solicitor General by President Barack Obama (March 2009).

Quote: “It was a very cool thing to be a smart girl, as opposed to some other, different kind. And I think that made a great deal of difference to me growing up and in my life afterward.”

In this 1993 photo provided by the University of Chicago Law School, Elena Kagan, an assistant professor, plays softball at the university.

House.

Kagan lived her life carefully and cleanly. Cleanly enough that in 1999 Clinton nominated her for a seat on the federal

appeals court bench in Washington.

Then came a rare hiccup, not of Kagan’s own making: The Republican-controlled Senate never acted on her nomination.

“Her” seat on the bench instead eventually went to future Chief Justice John Roberts.

Kagan didn’t let the setback slow her down. At Harvard, she quickly moved from visiting professor to full law professor to dean.

“Elena took the post at a time when I think most people thought that Harvard Law School was an unmanageable institution and did a remarkable job,” says Paul Clement, a former solicitor general for President George W. Bush and Kagan endorser. “It speaks to the quality of her ability to deal with people from across ideological divides and to manage a very difficult institution.”

Kagan won praise for recruiting prominent conservatives to join the liberal lions on Harvard’s faculty.

But her tenure there also has given her critics a rallying point. As dean, Kagan defended the school’s restrictions on military recruitment on campus because of the Pentagon’s prohibition on openly gay service members. She called the policy “a moral injustice of the first order.” Kagan also stressed that her disagreement with the military didn’t extend beyond that single issue.

Kagan never did become a judge, which critics see as a problematic gap in her experience. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, sees in Kagan a “dangerous nominee” — young, with a thin legal record, a liberal bent and an affinity for activist judges.

But Justice Antonin Scalia, the high court’s most outspoken conservative, framed Kagan’s lack of judicial experience as an asset.

And Kagan got what might be the nextbest thing: Obama chose her to be the first female solicitor general.

Over the past year, she’s argued the government’s side in six cases before the Supreme Court, a daunting setting for a novice litigator. Kagan held her own and displayed a remarkably easy, informal style in her back-and-forth with the justices, unafraid to challenge their assumptions and even make a stab at humor.

Kagan, who’s 5-foot-3, began one case by rather dramatically turning a crank to lower the wooden lectern in the Supreme Court chambers, advising the justices,

Asked what she was most proud of, Kagan told National Public Radio: ‘Working really, really hard, and achieving as much as I could.’

ROWAN HELPING MINISTRIES

Scott leads with heart ianne Scott has nurtured Rowan Helping Ministries from a vulnerable sapling into a strong oak. After 20 years of leading the interdenominational nonprofit, Scott can retire this week knowing that she has helped thousands of people and will continue to help many more because she led the effort to build Rowan Helping Ministries into a reliable, essential part of the community.

When Scott came to Salisbury in 1990, Rowan Helping Ministries had barely put down roots. It was a new creation, grafted from the defunct Rowan Cooperative Christian Ministries, the soup kitchen at First Presbyterian Church, an emergency shelter that rotated among downtown churches and a clothing center at the old Price High School. Large gifts from Ralph and Anne Ketner and others built Rowan Helping Ministries a home on land that Cheerwine donated on Long Street. The new building opened in 1989, but the organization’s director soon resigned. It was clear Rowan Helping Ministries would need the nurturing and support of a strong leader if it was going to survive.

Enter Dianne Scott, a Mississippi native who had directed a teen center in Spartanburg, S.C., and — a real test of organizational skill — raised triplets. Best of all, she had a heart for helping others.

“These people come to us for help,” Scott said in a 1990 interview. “We have to provide them with a solution to their problems and help them meet their immediate needs of shelter, food, clothing and provide assistance, financial assistance.”

Scott has not been a pushover for those in need. Along with her compassion has come the expectation that clients do more than accept money and food.

“We help them see that while they can have support from friends,” she said in that interview, “it’s up to them as individuals to make a difference.”

So Rowan Helping Ministries’ shelter limits how long clients can stay and takes a case management approach. The agency offers life coaching and other programs to teach people how to overcome the problems that helped make them homeless. It has a clothing closet, food pantry and Crisis Assistance Network that can help people in a pinch, but it does not promote and cannot afford dependency. Only the soup kitchen opens its doors to all, no questions asked.

Among those thanking Scott at a reception in her honor Friday were several clients of Rowan Helping Ministries, representative of thousands who have passed through its doors. Volunteers and donations from throughout the community have helped Rowan Helping Ministries serve those thousands, thanks to the organization, leadership and heart of Dianne Scott.

LEVELAND, Miss. — Taking notes in a dark auditorium, I missed the details. But here’s the gist of a story from a recent gathering at Delta State University.

A young man — we’ll call him Andy — described a moment from his first weeks as a middle school teacher. He engaged students in an exercise that involved favorite Disney characters, and they loved it — except for one girl. All Andy ELIZABETH got from her was a stone cold COOK stare.

A tough nut to crack.

Later, after he gave a writing assignment, Andy saw that the girl was gone. Did anyone see where she went?

A student pointed to the front of the room, where the girl with the stone-cold stare was hiding under the teacher’s desk. Why wasn’t she working on her assignment? Her explanation broke his heart.

“I can’t. I’m not smart like the other kids.”

She wasn’t tough. She was scared. And embarrassed.

Andy never met anyone with such low self-esteem. He committed himself then and there to do whatever it took to help this girl catch up with her classmates in reading and writing skills.

By the end of the year, the girl with the stone cold stare was reading her work aloud — and smiling.

“That,” Andy said, “is why I Teach for America.”

• • • We went to Arkansas to help our daughter Emily pack up and move. After six years teaching in the Mississippi Delta — two with Teach for America — she’s taking time off for graduate school.

During our visit, we went with her to the kickoff for Teach for America training at Delta State. As we drove around the campus, she said we’d know we were in the right place when we saw a lot of outof-state license plates.

Sure enough, there they were. We saw cars from Massachusetts, Iowa, Florida, Virginia and beyond.

More than 600 top college graduates — non-education majors — had gathered at Delta State to undergo intense preparation for teaching. In a few weeks, they will put their energy and commitment to work at inner city and rural schools in Alabama, Charlotte, eastern North Carolina, Houston, southern Louisiana and the Delta.

Their mission: close the achievement gap.

• • • Wendy Kopp, the founder and CEO of Teach for America, said the organization will send 4,500 new teachers into classrooms this fall. In 20 years, TFA has had more than 24,000 teachers, reaching some 3 million students.

Kopp reminded the audience of the movie, “Stand and Deliver,” based on the true story of a teacher in Los Angeles whose predominantly Hispanic class scored so well on the Advanced Placement calculus test that an investigation was launched.

People found it hard to believe

that students in a high poverty area could master calculus.

“Today it is accepted that schools can change the prospects for students growing up in poverty,” Kopp said.

But to do so, she called on the new teachers to be leaders for transformational change.

Not the status quo. Not incremental progress. Transformation.

• • • One of Teach for America’s earliest sites was the Delta, with its low education levels, high poverty rate and a blackwhite achievement gap as wide as the Mississippi River.

While the Teach for America commitment is only two years, many decide to stay in education. That proved true for Emily and several of her friends, including the presenter we really went to see that night, Emily’s principal, Amanda Johnson.

When they get their acceptance letters from Teach for America, the soon-to-be teachers are asked to list their top preferences for location.

The Delta was Amanda’s 11th choice. She had envisioned herself teaching in the inner city, she said, not rural Arkansas. Besides, how was she going to find a husband in the Delta?

But she accepted the assignment.

“I knew that God or someone in Teach for America wanted me in the Delta,” she said.

• • • After teaching several years at KIPP Delta College Prep, a charter middle school in the Knowledge is Power Program,

Amanda started an elementary school to feed into it. Both are in Helena, Ark., as is the system’s high school.

The new school, KIPP Delta Elementary Literacy Academy, opened last fall with kindergarten and first grade. Emily left the middle school to teach kindergarten and be part of the adventure. It was a good year.

Amanda — who married Sanford, another TFA teacher, by the way — spoke to the new teachers about a lot of things.

But what I scribbled in the darkness was “2021 and 2022.”

Amanda said when she hears her kindergarten and firstgrade students refer to themselves as the classes of 2021 and 2022 — their sights set on graduating from high school and going to college — she knows she’s in the right place.

Teach for America and the educators it has developed are having an impact. KIPP Delta Collegiate High School held its first commencement this spring, and all 27 graduates are headed to college, including two going to the Naval Academy. All are the first in their family to go to college.

Progress like that doesn’t come easily.

Hence Amanda’s closing words when she reached the end of her speech.

“Good night and good effort,” she said.

The message sank in. Not good luck, but good effort. The young teachers in the audience should not leave their success to luck; effort will be required, and lots of it.

Women and Viagra — not gonna happen t’s doubtful that the pharmaceutical industry will develop a female version of Viagra any time soon, according to recent news reports.

This is very disappointing. I was really looking forward to the commercials.

Advertisements for Viagra, Cialis and similar maleoriented drugs have become a cinematic genre unto themselves. In fact, CHRIS on certain VERNER sports cable channels, that’s pretty much all you see these days. There’s no real programming anymore, just advertisements for erectile dysfunction drugs interspersed with fleeting glimpses of auto races, baseball games, boxing matches and bass-fishing tournaments.

This is why we have to have 200 cable channels. It’s to provide sufficient band width for all the Viagra and Cialis pitches. Well, that and the occasional commercial for Flo-Max, which sounds like an energysaving water faucet but is actually a drug to increase men’s ... well, let’s just leave it there.

Not that I’m complaining.

Advertisements for erectile

I

dysfunction drugs provide some of the most interesting viewing on television today, offering provocative vignettes that inspire endless speculation about life, love and why someone would want to install a bathtub on the beach.

That’s one of the commercials for Cialis. You’ve provably seen it. A man and a woman are in separate clawfooted bathtubs somewhere on a deserted beach. Ocean waves lap gently against the shore.

Gulls drift overhead. The setting is designed to set a certain mood, and I have to confess: As a red-blooded male, I can’t watch that commercial without my mind turning in a certain direction.

Wow, I think, looking at the man and woman in their separate bathtubs on the beautiful, deserted beach. How did they manage that? Are the tubs on a septic system or did they run pipe all the way from the municipal water system? What about setback regulations?

Aren’t they past the dune line?

Did the Army Corps of Engineers actually approve this?

What sort of foundation do they have under the tubs to prevent them from sinking into the sand? What happens when the tide comes in? I hope they remembered the sun screen.

That is one stimulating commercial, all right.

So’s the one that shows a couple painting a room and then suddenly locking eyes as the voice-over asks whether you, the male viewer, will be ready when the moment strikes.

Oh, you bet, I’m thinking as my pulse starts to quicken.

When the urge to paint drops over a man, he wants to be able to perform. Immediately, I start taking mental inventory. If a tingly SherwinWilliams moment suddenly overpowered me, would my equipment be up to the task?

Do I have drop cloths? Clean brushes and rollers? Masking tape — the kind that peals off easily? Primer? Stepladder?

And what about the paint itself — enamel or latex? Satin sheen or flat? How many coats? Should I try some of that new low-volatile-organiccompound stuff or stick with a conventional blend?

Should I ask my retail specialist if a matte finish is right for me?

Romance is definitely a complicated business.

Here’s how complicated it can be. The drugmaker Pfizer initially tested Viagra on women, hoping it would have the same effect on them as on men. Sadly, the experiment had to be halted because of alarming side-effects. The women developed passionate urges to buy $40,000 diesel

pickups and rent backhoes.

If researchers finally do perfect a female version of Viagra, what will the commercials be like?

Will they show a woman scrubbing a toilet and then suddenly giving her man a sultry look as she tosses the bristle brush aside and locks him in a passionate embrace?

Will women have to talk to their reflections in windows before they can summon sufficient nerve for a frank discussion with their doctor?

And if the amorous state persists for more than four hours, should women seek immediate medical attention — or just finish off the carton of Ben & Jerry’s “Chunky Monkey” hidden in the back of the freezer?

Given the human species’ boundless drive to explore new worlds, I’m certain we’ll eventually find the answers to these and other fascinating questions.

I can hardly wait. But meanwhile, you’ll have to excuse me. The “Viva Viagra” theme song is playing on TV, and I suddenly feel the overwhelming desire to buy an obscenely expensive set of golf clubs.

And I don’t even play golf.

U.S. foreign aid is saving children’s lives ARISAL, Bangladesh — When Mahmuda Akhter arrives at the guesthouse in one of the tiny villages in this cyclone-damaged region of Bangladesh, she knows she’ll find a gaggle of babies and toddlers waiting for her. One day a month, the house turns into a community health COKIE AND where STEVE ROBERTS clinic Mahmuda can perform some very simple tasks that will allow her to save hundreds of lives.

First customer: a 17-month-old baby girl clutching a plastic turtle against her fancy green dress. Her mother, wrapped in an emerald silk sari on this 110-degree day, proudly hands over the little girl to Mahmuda, who busily unpacks her satchel. Out comes a scale attached to a sling that can hang from anything nearby — a ham-

B

mock hook, a tree limb. Next comes a record book tracking the progress of all of her young patients, comparing their weights with those recommended by the World Health Organization.

This baby weighs in right where she should — a sign of good health in Bangladesh, where almost half of the young children are underweight — and her mother explains she is still breastfeeding, as her health worker had advised. In a country where the water can be dangerously contaminated, breast milk makes for the safest food until the baby is 2 years old.

While Mahmuda holds her clinic, Afia Afroze makes a home visit to an 8-month-old boy with a cold and cough. She pulls out her respirator counter to measure his breaths and determines that he doesn’t have pneumonia, the leading cause of illness and death for the under-5 population in Bangladesh.

Mahmuda and Afia are two of thousands of community health workers in Bangladesh who walk

hundreds of miles a year to reach remote villages in an effort to slash the country’s startling statistics — more than 12,000 mothers and 120,000 newborns die every year, almost entirely from bad care during childbirth. Though shocking, those numbers represent a remarkable 64 percent decline in the mortality rates of children under 5 over the past 20 years.

That story is repeated all over the world as local health workers provide the basic care and nutritional education that make it possible to save a child every four seconds. But that impressive achievement is overshadowed by the fact that every three seconds a child under 5 dies — 24,000 children a day, almost 9 million a year — mostly from easily preventable and treatable conditions. The developing world needs millions more Mahmudas and Afias.

To train and equip those workers requires a commitment on the part of governments, and the developed world has pledged those commitments through programs

like the Global Health Initiative and the Millennium Development Goals. Still, it’s always a struggle to get countries to put up the money to back up the rhetoric.

For example, Save the Children, where Cokie is a trustee, trained Mahmuda and Afia, using money from USAID — the American agency that doles out foreign aid.

But keeping funding at a level where more children’s lives can be saved is a challenge, especially with the federal deficit at a record high. In a recent poll, The Economist magazine found that foreign aid was the only government program a majority of Americans, fully 71 percent, said they wanted to see cut in order to save money.

Since foreign aid makes up less than 1 percent of the federal budget, totally eliminating it wouldn’t do much to blot out the red ink, but it would mean millions more children would die.

That’s the message Save the Children is trying to get across in an advertising campaign designed to bring Mahmuda and Afia into

Will spill have a silver lining?

Gulf disaster could re-energize drive toward renewable power ould something positive come from the disastrous Gulf Oil spill?

How feasible are plans by President Barack Obama and green governors —Arnold Schwar-zenegger of California foremost among them — to reduce U.S. dependence on fossil fuels? If you listen to the fossil fuel companies, coal is clean and oil is inescapable. There’s a vast difference between reality and these claims.

BONNIE Regardless, beERBE coming fossil-fuelfree is going to be a very long, costly and painful process.

California has been a leader in moving away from oil and coal, under the direction of Schwarzenegger, the outgoing governor. He shepherded through the state assembly and senate the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, or AB 32. The act is so forward thinking, fearful fossil fuel companies are trying to get California voters to throw it out. But even Schwarzenegger’s plan, painful as it is, requires the state to cut back by a mere 30 percent on use of fossil fuels from the 1990 rate — and it gives the state a decade to reach that goal.

On a per-capita basis, that means reducing annual emissions of 14 tons of carbon dioxide for every man, woman and child in California down to about 10 tons per person by 2020, a government fact sheet estimates.

While California’s goals are relatively meager but still lofty by today’s national standards, SB 32 would still only roll back pollution in one state, albeit the largest.

In one sense we have no choice but to wean ourselves of one fossil fuel: oil. We have plentiful domes-

C

tic supplies of coal. But that is not true for oil. We already rely on imports for almost three-fourths of our oil, and domestic production has been slipping for decades. According to the Department of Energy, U.S. oil production peaked in 1970 at 9.6 million barrels per day and today stands at 5.3 million barrels per day.

We currently use less oil than we did five years ago — a drop from 20.8 barrels per day in 2005 to 18.7 now. But as we pull out of the recession, demand is likely to rise. That will make us ever more dependent on foreign sources.

According to Robert Rapier, energy consumption expert and blogger for theenergycollective.com, “that leaves us the option of reducing current consumption by 72 percent from current rates. This is of course why energy independence has eluded the U.S. For all of the talk of getting off of foreign oil, who is willing to cut their oil consumption down to about a third of what you currently use? I am not saying it can’t be done, but I am saying it can’t be done painlessly and without making some major adjustments. And that is ultimately why our political leaders have not managed to get it done.

They are selling a sacrifice-free pipe dream.”

Don’t let any politician fool you.

We must all use less energy and pay more for it during the next two decades, until our transition is completed. Drilling in now-protected areas, such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, is not the answer, either. That just postpones the inevitable: making us ever more dependent on a polluting, non-renewable fuel with therefore limited ability to fulfill energy demands in the future.

If we don’t get moving on this transition, there are plenty of other nations ready to jump in ahead of us and lead the change. This

he Department of Homeland Security has announced that it will begin patrolling Texas’ border with Mexico with a drone to aid agents in intercepting illegal traffic in people and drugs. It will join the pilotless Predator B’s already conducting aerial surveillance of the Arizona border.

Having proven their utility and durability in Iraq and Afghanistan, it’s a safe guess that the border drones are only the beginning of their eventual widespread domestic use.

President Barack Obama’s request for $500 million in emergency funds for border security includes money for two more drones.

The Federal Aviation Administration is considering a stack of requests by law enforcement and commercial companies to grant flying rights for drones. The unmanned aerial vehicles — UAVs, to use the technical name — can be programmed to perform specific flights or, more commonly, are remotely directed by controllers on the ground. And drones like the Predator can stay aloft for 20 hours or so.

Nothing, that is, but the lack of political will to do so.

Who told Obama offshore drilling is ‘absolutely safe’?

T

here was one particularly striking moment in President Obama’s widely panned June 15 speech on the gulf oil disaster.

About midway through his talk, Obama acknowledged that he had approved new offshore drilling a few weeks before the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion on April 20.

But Obama said he had done so only “under the assurance that it would be absolutely safe.”

Absolutely safe?

Even before the BYRON gulf spill, few deYORK fenders of offshore drilling would go that far. And when the president announced his drilling plan, on March 31, he said it was “not a decision that I’ve made lightly” and that he and his advisers had “looked at (it) closely for more than a year.” Surely he was told of the possible risks.

“If you can find anything that’s absolutely safe, I sure want to find out about it,” says Robert Bea, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. “There is no

engineering system that I am aware of that has zero likelihood of failure.”

“We can never be absolutely safe,” adds Ken Arnold, an independent consultant to the oil and gas industry. “The only way you can be absolutely certain of being absolutely safe is to shut down all production and all drilling from offshore today.”

So how did the president get the idea that new offshore drilling would be absolutely safe? Obama has often said he relies on a “green team” for advice on energy and environmental decisions. The top three members of the team are the director of the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy, Carol Browner; Interior Secretary Ken Salazar; and Energy Secretary Steven Chu. Did Browner or Salazar or Chu assure the president that new offshore drilling would be “absolutely safe”?

No, says a representative for Chu. “That is actually a question for the Department of the Interior,” says the Energy Department’s Tiffany Edwards. “The secretary of energy is not involved in that decision making.”

Well, then, perhaps it was

your living room and onto your computer. In seeing their stories and those of other community health workers around the world and learning how many children survive because of them, foreign aid is no longer a program but a person. The sometimes mindnumbing numbers — that under-5 mortality rates decreased by onethird over 10 years in countries receiving USAID — now have faces attached.

The hope is that those faces will spur action, causing people to contact their representatives in support of President Obama’s budget requests for $700 million for maternal and child health and $200 million for nutrition. If it works, it will surely surprise members of Congress used to hearing only negative things about foreign aid. But it would mean more Mahmudas and Afias could start their treks to save the world’s children.

• • • Steve Roberts’ new book, “From Every End of This Earth” (HarperCollins), was published this fall.

Salazar or Browner. But a spokesman for Salazar did not respond to questions. Neither did a spokesman for Browner. So at the moment, we don’t know who assured the president that new drilling would be absolutely safe.

That’s certainly not the way experts talk about the issue. When discussing projects like offshore exploration, engineers often use the phrases “PF,” which stands for probability of failure, and “CF,” for consequences of failure. The Deepwater Horizon disaster was a classic low-probability, high-consequence event. Even with good safety procedures, strange combinations of human error, mechanical failure and sheer bad luck can cause a devastating accident.

“There has been a constant improvement in safety, but you can never say that a very low probability but very high consequence event is impossible,” Arnold says.

“You can never say that.”

That’s the point that comes back over and over in discussing offshore oil drilling. Even though technology has gotten better and better over the years, you can’t say it is absolutely safe.

Yet Obama said just that. It

could be that one or more of his advisers explicitly told him that drilling would be absolutely safe. If that’s the case, he got bad advice.

Or it could be there were mistakes in communication as the assessment of risk made its way through the bureaucracy to the president’s ears. When information goes from the specialist to his boss, and then up another level or two, what had begun as a specific risk assessment becomes simply “safe.” Then maybe it becomes “absolutely safe.”

Of course, there’s a third possibility. Since the Deepwater Horizon explosion, Obama has taken a lot of heat from liberals who never liked his pro-drilling decision in the first place. Maybe he used the words “absolutely safe” to deflect blame and make himself look a little better in retrospect.

That would be troubling, but not as troubling as the possibility that Obama actually believed his own claim. What would that say about the president many commentators have described as brilliant?

There are privacy considerations in the use of drones, some of which are quite small and silent.

Homeland Security would like to further expand their use along the border. Others want to use them for weather research, search and rescue, patrolling highways, hunting fugitives, aerial prospecting and such mind-numbing tasks as monitoring pipelines.

Since 2006, the FAA has been drafting a plan to grant flying rights to UAVs. The overwhelming problem is to ensure they don’t collide with the thousands of other aircraft, from airliners to ultralights, with which they will be sharing our increasingly crowded airspace. Another worry is what happens if the ground controller loses communication with drones over a populated area.

However, both houses of Congress have passed legislation to hurry along the process of clearing the drones to fly.

The Senate would give the FAA a year; the House until Sept. 30, 2013.

It’s not technically the FAA’s bailiwick, but there are privacy considerations in the use of drones, some of which are quite small and silent. In Iraq and Afghanistan, they’re able to track and identify wanted members of al-Qaida and the Taliban without the insurgents ever knowing they’re being watched. Sooner or later somebody will want to use the UAVs to snoop.

On balance, the drones are simply too useful to leave on the shelf.

KAGAN

Never a dull moment in S. Carolina politics W

ASHINGTON — One thing is for sure. Politics aren’t dull in South Carolina — never have been and probably never will be. Even 160 years ago — 10 years before the Civil War — the state’s volatile overlords were pushing for secession from the union.

But whatever has occurred from the era of John C. Calhoun to that of Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats, who walked out of the 1948 Democratic National Convention, to the present, few things have shaken the old palmetto trees to their roots more than the current state of electioneering. Is there something in the water?

Could Ecstasy have suddenly replaced Southern Comfort?

It wasn’t enough that previously high riding Republican Governor Mark Sanford disappeared “ to walk the Appalachian Trail” and ended up somehow in DAN with a girlTHOMASSON Argentina friend no one knew about. That one took up several days of front-page space and evening airtime as the world and his wife speculated as to his whereabouts and then the upshot of his philandering.

Then a charming young mother, Nikki Haley, who was an also-ran for the Republican gubernatorial nomination suddenly became the person to beat thanks to Sarah Palin’s endorsement and the claims of two men, who obviously had never heard about the code of Southern chivalry, that they had spent some illicit time with her.

She emphatically denied the allegations and vaulted to the top of the primary results only a percentage point or so from avoiding a runoff. She is expected to win that and the fall election

They’re pretty sorry in how they apologize S

omeone ought to apologize for the rotten state of the American apology. In the olden days, say 20 years ago, it was said that it took a big man to admit he was wrong. Today it just takes an insincere man.

It probably takes an insincere woman to apologize as well, but the women I know and love are never wrong, so they never have to apologize for anything.

Besides, all the recent exREG amples of phony apoloHENRY gies involve men. We are an apologetic gender — and for good reason, as the same women will tell you. The latest to say he is sorry is Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top U.S. military commander in Afghanistan.

In interviews with Rolling Stone, the distinguished military affairs magazine that also includes articles about pop stars, the general and his aides are said to have made unflattering remarks about President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other top officials, including one whom an aide called a “clown.”

(This last was not a reference to Mr. Biden, for those of you jumping to conclusions at home, but to National Security Adviser James Jones. The difference between Biden and a clown is that clowns don’t speak, whereas the vice president never shuts up.)

As reported in the article, McChrystal was especially harsh about U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, the author of a memo leaked to The New York Times earlier this year critical of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan and President Hamid Karzai.

“Here’s one that covers his flank for the history books,” the general was quoted as saying. “Now if we fail, they can say, ‘I told you so.’ ” The Rolling Stone article is titled “The Runaway General,” but it might have been better called “The Unbuttoned General,” so candid and frank does the headquarters team appear, laughing and swearing and dumping on their alleged tormentors in the administration.

This certainly qualifies as ungrateful behavior because the general, as the article says, “got almost exactly what he wanted” from the president.

As the bad-mouthing proceeded, the Rolling Stone reporter was taking notes.

Did they not see him? Did they think that as long as

they did not say anything derogatory about Paul McCartney or Lady Gaga they would be OK? McChrystal was immediately summoned to Washington to explain the jokes.

In preparation, he issued a fine apology for connoisseurs of the regretful genre, with just the right note of sincere insincerity: After expressing “enormous respect and admiration for President Obama and his national security team,” he offered “my sincerest apology for this profile. It was a mistake reflecting poor judgment and should never have happened.”

We do get the sense from this that the general sincerely wanted to keep his job — but why did he and his aides say those things in the first place? They don’t say they were misquoted. The poor judgment was apparently in stating what was on their minds.

The general’s apology

thus sounds like an exercise in covering his flank so that he doesn’t become a footnote in the history books. As it is, historians will wonder at an American general being tripped up by Rolling Stone magazine. Remind me to ask a historian if Gen. Ulysses S. Grant ever made comments reflecting poor judgment to “Tuba World.”

But as incredible as this apology was, it did not come close to the extraordinary one issued last week by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, to BP chief executive Tony Hayward, when the Brit was summoned to Capitol Hill to be flogged with oil-soaked noodles. Talk about a clown: Joe Barton showed that he was in a circus of his own.

There he was, so bought up by the oil industry that people could be forgiven for thinking he was Minnie Pearl on the old “Hee Haw” show with a price tag on his hat, apologizing to the head of a foreign corporation that

Republican leaders, realizing the titanic gaffe, were hugely embarrassed that Barton had dared to take their conservative pro-corporation, anti-regulation rhetoric to its logical conclusion — and fell over themselves disavowing the apology. Barton then apologized for his apology, none of which was remotely credible.

Now, whenever men congregate in bars to talk about their sorry lives, they will talk about the apology to end all apologies. Someone will suggest that they send Joe Barton to Afghanistan, where perhaps he can make some inappropriate remarks to Musical Mullah Magazine.

“This may take some time.”

For all her hard work and focus, Kagan is no machine. She is wry and funny and thoughtful. And, on occasion, snarky and profane, too.

In the solicitor general’s office, Kagan made it a point to send a personal note and a bottle of champagne — a nice one — each time an assistant argued his or her first case before the Supreme Court.

Bruce Reed, Kagan’s boss during her years on Clinton’s domestic policy council, which dealt with a host of thorny issues, says Kagan was always “quick to laugh about herself and about the situations we found ourselves in.”

“Most really smart people aren’t fun to work with, but she is,” Reed said.

Kagan’s e-mails from the Clinton years include some blisteringly frank language — some of it directed at herself.

“I f—ed up,” she wrote in one.

“Don’t volunteer us for s—work,” she wrote in another.

Kagan also has a temper, and isn’t afraid to show it.

Harvard law professor Charles Fried, a Republican who supports Kagan’s nomination, says she once blew up at him during a disagreement concerning what to do about pages missing from a constitutional law exam.

“She screamed and shouted at me and slammed the door and stormed out,” Fried recalled. “Two minutes later, she came back and said, ‘I’m sorry I shouted.’ I said, ‘Elena, don’t apologize, you were right.’ ” Kagan, who is single, hasn’t made much of a splash in Washington’s social scene. Early whispers raising questions about her personal life were quickly squelched by the White House. Her parents — a school teacher and activist lawyer in Manhattan — both are deceased. Her two brothers declined to say much about the family, although one brother, Irving, does allow that the siblings “have been known to talk about pie preferences” at Thanksgiving dinner.

“But she’s never asked us to help her with her thinking about the law,” he said in an e-mail.

While Kagan is known for keeping her legal opinions to herself, documents from her days in the Clinton administration show she wasn’t afraid to be a strong advocate for her positions in private.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kagan has backpedaled from the contention senators should draw out nominees’ opinion on important legal issues.

She scrawled “yuck,” on a document about race. A memo on welfare policy got the same treatment three times over: “yuck, yuck, yuck.”

“Oh please — one-sided,” she wrote on tobacco memo.

Kagan also has been a harsh critic of her own words, when expedient.

When questions arose last year about a 1987 memo she wrote about government funding for religious organizations, she called it “the dumbest thing I ever heard.”

She’s also backpedaled from a 1995 article in which she wrote that senators should draw out Supreme Court nominees’ opinions on important legal questions.

Asked about that last year, Kagan allowed that some questions “cannot be answered consistently with the responsible performance of the job the nominee hopes to undertake.”

So Kagan comes into her Senate hearings with a slim legal record and a history of playing it safe in her public comments. That could ease her path to confirmation.

But it begs another question: With a lifetime appointment and the freedom to speak her mind, will she remember how to do it?

Teresa Wynn Roseborough, who clerked in 198788 for now-retiring Justice John Paul Stevens when Kagan was in her 20s and working for Marshall, says Kagan was part of a group of clerks that played basketball every week on the top floor of the Supreme Court building. One time, when Roseborough made a comment during the game about something unrelated to basketball, she said, Kagan “quickly admonished me to get my head back into the game, and that’s kind of how I saw her as a clerk.”

As a justice on the court, Roseborough said, “If somebody loses focus, she’ll get them back in the game.”

SALISBURY POST

Novel of history and mystery for young readers “The Secret of the Bradford House,” by Albert A. Bell Jr. Ingalls Publishing Group Inc. 173 pp. Paperback, $11.95.

BY MEGAN BEAN For the Salisbury Post

Crosley’s book of humorous essays is captivating “How Did You Get This Number,” by Sloane Crosley. Riverhead Books. 288 pp. $25.95.

BY MATT SEDENSKY Associated Press Writer

I love to laugh, but infrequently am moved by a book, movie or TV show to do so aloud.

Sure, things are amusing in that way that provokes a smirk of acknowledgment or the slightest chuckle. But Sloane Crosley’s second book, “How Did You Get This Number,” the entirety of which I read on airplanes, moved me to laughter that had seatmates wondering what exactly I was being served.

The answer? The witty, smart, skilled workings of a wordsmith that thrust the reader into laugh-out-loud territory.

As in her previous collection of short essays, “I Was Told There’d Be Cake,” Crosley captivates the reader from the very first sentence: “There is only one answer to the question: Would you like to see a 3 a.m. performance of amateur Portuguese circus clowns?”

We are brought along in Crosley’s dissection of both the mundane and the extraordinary in nine stories that take us far beyond New York, where the author lives and which inspired many of the stories in her first book.

There are bear sightings in Alaska and musings on cheese in Paris. And along the way, there are too many expertly penned and laughinducing lines to quote, much like David Sedaris, the humorist whose style Crosley sometimes echoes.

A reader of any age has reason to pick up Crosley’s book, but she manages to project a voice particularly relevant to those in their 20s and 30s, for whom multiple references to “The Goonies,” the Girl Talk board game and handmade origami finger puppets designed to forecast one’s life conjure memories. As is her mention of her dread of turning 30, something I’m experiencing as I write this.

Even in the occasional moment in which Crosley’s prose fails to entirely captivate, not far off is another riff, another musing dripping with both silliness and smarts that make her worthy of your attention and bound to be a fixture on bookshelves for years to come.

Faulkner collection sells well NEW YORK (AP) — A rare collection of signed William Faulkner books and personal items, including one of his most acclaimed novels, “Light in August,” sold at auction Tuesday for $833,246.

The collection of 90 items was nearly a complete representation of Faulkner’s work, said the auction house, Christie’s.

The auction probably was the last chance to acquire such a large collection of the author’s work, Louis Daniel Brodsky, a poet and Faulkner scholar, said in an interview before the auction.

The highest price went for “Absalom, Absalom!” a story about Southern poverty told entirely in flashbacks, which sold for $86,500.

Not everything in real life can be explained short of the supernatural or highly improbable.

Even after the investigations have been made and some of the mysteries explained to the best of a person’s ability, some things are always left to be wondered at or to be resolved over time. So young readers learn in Albert A. Bell Jr.’s “The Secret of the Bradford House.”

The sequel to Bell’s earlier mystery “The Secret of the Lonely Grave” intended for audiences approximately 10 years of age, “The Secret of the Bradford House” is a briskly paced, entertaining novel.

Set in the Kentucky town of Cadiz in the real Land-Betweenthe-Lakes region, it follows the adventures of Steve Patterson and Kendra Jordan, two self-appointed investigators, and a flickering light in the attic window of an old local residence.

Prompted by the account of a new next-door neighbor, they research the history of the place’s residents and discover the tragic story of one of its now-deceased occupants. Along the way, they make new acquaintances, uncover a hidden staircase and deal with many personal problems confronting children and teenagers today.

Though meant for younger audiences, its mystery and humor can be appreciated by many older teens and adults who enjoy a quick, entertaining, general audiences read.

Full of facts about history and baseball, the book is also something of an educational one, raising young readers’ awareness of both history and

social issues and providing them with situations to which many can readily relate, all with relative conservatism.

In the course of solving the mystery of the Bradford house, Steve, the 11-year-old narrator, must also cope with strains to his and Kendra’s friendship, the trials of puberty and the strain of divorced parents.

Raised largely without his father and with Kendra and her parents as a kind of second family, he must decide whether he wants to rebuild a relationship

with his dad and how to deal with the addition of another kid his age to his and Kendra’s neighborhood (and possibly his circle of friends) while preventing rivalry and preserving his childhood security.

The book is also diverse in its cast and promotes the crossing of color lines, reflecting a wide range of ethnic groups from African-American to Hispanic, while portraying in a kid-friendly way some of the tensions their coexistence creates (such as the language barrier).

Bell also throws in a few facts about World War I, the surrounding era and its effects on the lives of everyday Americans — as well as details about baseball and tennis. All of this is complemented by refreshing humor and an intriguing mystery.

Bell’s style is forward-moving and quick-paced. The novel’s events, set during the protagonists’ summer vacation, are packed into a single week of activity and suspense.

Bell describes himself as more of a storyteller than a literary artist, and as such there are few lengthy descriptions and more plot; something related to the main theme or story line is always taking place.

Steve’s narration may sound more like a third-person narrative at first, but later on and in his dialogue, his personality shows. His conversations with Kendra are often rousing and amusing — though of course blunt and outgoing Kendra obviously means every word she says.

Bell guarantees that one does not need to read the original book to enjoy this one, and nothing is spoiled by reading “The Bradford House” first. Bell has also written contemporary and historical fiction, including “Daughter of Lazarus” and “Death Goes Dutch,” as well as some nonfiction and co-authored works.

Steve and Kendra set out to find a concrete cause for the mysterious incidents occurring at the century-old Bradford residence. They do not find all the answers, and what they do find is not the entire story. However, the journey to find “The Secret of the Bradford House” is personally rewarding in its own right, and among the lessons they learn is that sometimes mysteries are more wonder-full if left unresolved when all possibilities short of the supernatural have been exhausted.

Attempt to cycle around the world ends in tragedy “The Lost Cyclist: The Epic Tale of an American Adventurer and His Mysterious Disappearance,” by David Herlihy.

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. 336 pp. $26.

BY JERRY HARKAVY The Associated Press

A century before Lance Armstrong won his first Tour de France, even before the Tour’s first running, a young American named Frank Lenz emerged as a national hero as he set out to ride his bicycle around the world.

After making his mark by racing high-wheel bikes, Lenz quit his job as a bookkeeper in Pittsburgh to pursue his dream of pedaling 20,000 miles across North America, Asia and Europe. With a 20-pound camera box strapped to his back, he sent stories and photos to the monthly magazine Outing, which sponsored the solo trip that began in 1892.

The first half of David Herlihy’s book, “The Lost Cyclist,” focuses on Lenz’s two-year adventure, which ended in tragedy

when he disappeared in eastern Turkey, never to be seen again.

But equally fascinating is the ensuing investigation of his tragic fate by a fellow cyclist who set out for the lawless region and doggedly struggled to bring Lenz’s killers to justice.

Herlihy’s book is set amid the bicycle boom of the late 19th century that captured the imagination of millions of Americans who would later embrace the automobile with even greater fervor. The author is on familiar turf, having written a comprehensive history of bicycles devoted largely to the vehicle’s early years.

Lenz, who was in his mid-20s at the time of his great adventure, may have preferred high-wheelers, but he rode the newly introduced “safety” bicycle, which had wheels of equal size and was equipped with inflatable tires that made for more comfortable travel.

He began his rugged journey by crossing the U.S., where he often rode on rail beds, encountered stray cactus needles that punctured his tires and had to walk his

bike for much of the way while ascending the Rockies in Montana.

He spent nearly three weeks touring Japan before crossing to Shanghai, beginning what he believed would be the most dangerous part of his trip. He received a hostile reception from some of the Chinese, who regarded him as a foreign devil on a hellish mechanical contrivance and would hurl rocks at him as he rode past.

He traveled nearly 2,900 miles across China, often staying with missionaries or at telegraph stations along the route. But after passing through Burma, where monsoon floods forced him to travel much of the way on foot, it looked as though the worst of the journey was behind him. Lenz made it to Tabriz, Persia, in April 1894 and was crossing into Turkey with plans to link up with fellow cyclists in Europe when he vanished without a trace.

As weeks and months passed with no word from Lenz, there was mounting concern at home about his fate. Fueling the worries were reports of widespread

massacres of Armenians in the Turkish region where he was believed to have been riding.

There was a public outcry to dispatch a search party to try to find him, much as Stanley discovered Livingston in Africa a generation earlier. But 10 months passed before William Sachtleben began his heroic search.

Sachtleben, who had biked across Asia with a companion around the time Lenz began his trip, had no illusions about finding his friend alive, but he hoped at least to find Lenz’s remains so he could have a proper burial and, if he was murdered, to seek prosecution of the killers.

Herlihy’s gripping, fast-paced tale of larger-than-life cyclists and the era in which the bicycle came into its own as a means of transportation and recreation should appeal to a broad range of readers. Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs documenting Lenz’s saga, the book combines elements of a mystery thriller with those of a fascinating travel tale set in a historical context.

Miss Julia books are a nice way to spend a summer day

BY LYNN DENISON Rowan Public Library

Have you had the pleasure of meeting Miss Julia Springer of Abbotsford, N.C.?

If not, you are in for a special treat. These summer days would be a great time to make her acquaintance. She is the protagonist in a series written by the well-known author Ann B. Ross. Ross has written 11 books about Miss Julia, each one more delightful and enjoyable than the one preceding it.

In the initial book, “Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind,” published in 1999, septuagenarian Julia Springer is a proper Southern lady whose banker husband dies suddenly, leaving her more money than she knew he possessed.

He’s left another big surprise — a mistress and an illegitimate son, “Little Lloyd.” Miss Julia learns to love “Little Lloyd” and his mother, Hazel Marie Puckett, and thus she acquires the family she’s never had. She valiantly faces small town prejudices, gossip and hypocrisy and comes out on top in every situation.

“Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind” and the other 10 books in the series are all available at Rowan Public Library. Many are available on CD and in large print format. The 11th and newest book in the series is “Miss Julia Renews Her Vows.”

Author Ross decided to complete her college education after her three children left home for

college. She completed her bachelor’s, master’s and Ph.D. degrees and then taught literature and the humanities at University of North Carolina in Asheville before beginning to write.

Her first Miss Julia book was an immediate success and set her on a full-time writing career. Ross was once asked by an interviewer how she knew when something she’d written was good. She replied, “I know it’s good when I fall off my chair laughing.” That response indicates that she enjoys writing about her characters as much as her fans enjoy reading about them.

As a writer, Ross does not work with an outline or a detailed plan before starting a story. She usually has a general plot in mind that contains mainly the conflict and resolution with a few ideas of how they will be worked out. She relies on inspiration for Miss Julia’s escapades from many different sources, for example, chance remarks from friends or family, an incident she happens to see, a dream or past experiences.

When approached by aspiring writers, Ross says, “You must write! Thinking about it, researching it, talking and dreaming about it will never get it done.

You must put words on paper, one after the other, even though doing that is lonely, unglamorous and sometimes pure drudgery.

But to be a writer, you must write.”

Although each book in the Miss

Julia series can stand alone, it would be helpful to start at the beginning and work through the series in order to truly appreciate it. Why not stop by any of Rowan Public Library’s locations today and begin a fast-paced, hilarious and thoroughly fun summer reading experience with Miss Julia and her friends?

SALISBURY POST

INSIGHT

If ‘Scout’ had been a Klansman’s daughter ifty years ago, Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mocking Bird” gave us a sympathetic hero who seemed to stand up against the worst features of our region’s social system.

The story, narrated by his adoring daughter Scout, told us how Atticus Finch, the principled attorney, deD.G. fended an unMARTIN fairly accused African American. The book attacked the ugly racism of rednecks and the Klan. Its warm, finely crafted story engaged us and pushed us a gentle, positive step forward.

But it was a very small step. It did not force us to confront the foundations of a system that relegated one race to a subservient role.

The good, sometimes devoted, relationships between servants and their superiors obscured the oppressiveness of the system.

Maybe we need another story to push us a little bit further in understanding and dealing with our history.

What if Scout had been the daughter of a leader of the Klan instead of the child of a beloved, fair-minded lawyer? The small town South of the middle of the last century seen through the eyes of a Klansman’s daughter might force us to take a larger step forward in confronting the real brutality of our former ways.

A new novel by UNCChapel Hill Professor Minrose Gwin gives us a chance to see our region through different eyes. “The Queen of Palmyra” takes us back to 1963 and a small southern town. Florence, the fictional narrator, is an 11-year-old girl who spends most of her days in the care of her grandmother’s African American maid, Zenie.

While Zenie was telling young Florence stories of Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, Florence’s father, Winburn Lafayette Forrest III, was telling her tales “about brave Christian men who, yes siree bobtail, fought to the death like true soldiers for little girls like me and beautiful and pure women like my mother.”

During the days, Zenie brought Florence into her home in “Shake Rag,” the black section of town.

Later, in the evenings Florence would bring to her father his beloved box of robe, hood, and other items, for his Klan meetings and “activities.” And, once, her father proudly took her inside a Klan meeting where she wore her own specially made white robe. Other times, she would slip away with her mother to warn black friends about upcoming Klan activities.

When Florence fell behind in her schoolwork, Zenie’s niece, Eva, was the only person who could teach Florence the English grammar she needed to catch up. But Eva’s activities in organizing voter registration efforts made her a target of Win Forrest and his Klan brothers. The consequences of that conflict frame an awful tragedy that rips Florence away from her connection to Zenie, to her father and mother, and to her hometown.

It is tempting to read “The Queen of Palmyra” as an allegory of the transformation of the Modern South and the benefit to whites from the destruction of the social system they fought so hard to preserve. But Minrose Gwin does not preach.

She is a gifted storyteller, careful wordsmith and sensitive observer of personal interactions.

Her book would be compelling reading, even if it had no important underlying message.

Students learn about film photography in Waterworks summer art program

BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

“D

on’t forget to wind your film!”

That’s not a phrase you hear

much these days.

But a group of middle school students participating in a summer photography program took it to heart this week.

Led by Aaron Cress, the students cruised downtown Salisbury, each wielding a Holga camera loaded with black and white film. They were on the hunt to capture images of historic structures and architectural elements.

Cress occasionally paused and asked a question. “Has anyone shot any verticals?” Everyone peered down an alley while Cress explained the concept of leading lines.

As group members searched for the perfect shot, Garrett Woodie admitted that he wasted four of his 16 exposures because he’d forgotten to take the lens cap off his camera.

Although it was already oppressively hot by mid-morning, nobody was complaining.

“It’s fun going around and taking pictures,” said Sam McNeely, an upcoming seventh grader.

McNeely and 19 other middle school students were participating in a week-long art residency program at Waterworks Visual Arts Center called “A Young Person’s View of Historic Salisbury Through Black and White Photography.”

The summer residency programs, which are free to participants, began in 2005 and have served more than 180 SalisburyRowan middle school students.

The week-long programs are designed to challenge students to think critically about various aspects of a hands-on art experience as they develop skills while completing their art projects.

Sponsored by the Proctor Foundation, the instructor for this year’s residency was Joshua Cross, a Pfeiffer University art professor with an extensive background in photography.

This summer’s residency takes full advantage of the new

Miranda Raymond and Micheal Jenkins look through their cameras’ viewfinders outside of Rowan Museum.

“It’s like a magic show. It’s amazing for any age group, but for younger kids it’s more so.”

JOSHUA CROSS On developing film

Linn-Norvell Darkroom, which was dedicated in March.

Cross was assisted by Pfeiffer art major T.J. Havens and Aaron Cress, a photographer from China Grove.

Havens has done a lot of film photography; Cress, who is a professional photographer, has not.

“I’m learning too,” he said.

“It’s fun.”

In the Linn-Novell Darkroom, Cross showed students how to use chemical mixtures — developer, stop bath, fix — to develop the film that they’d shot.

Things got a bit messy.

“It smells like vinegar!” said Amery Barton of the stop bath mixture.

At the end of the process, when students viewed the finished product, they were mesmerized by what they’d just created “It’s like a magic show,” Cross said. “It’s amazing for any age group, but for younger kids it’s more so.”

Some students found that their mistakes — shooting several photographs without advancing the film — were among their favorite pictures.

Cross, who is used to working with college students, was enjoying his time with an enthusiastic group of younger students.

“They have more questions,” Cross said. “They’re not afraid to ask.

“And they’ll surprise you with their observations or their viewpoint of the subject matter.”

Asked about what young people can gain from learning what some might consider a dying art, Cross offered a thoughtful answer.

“The best way for students to learn the real use of photography is to learn analog first,” he said.

“They have to make choices.

They have to think about lighting and composition because every shot in that roll is going to count.

“It also teaches craftsman-

“I could teach a monkey to Photoshop, but dealing with film requires real hand-eye coordination to develop and print.”

While it’s unlikely that the participants will completely abandon digital photography for film, Cross says he hopes that a few will have a continued interest in analog photography after

See PHOTOGRAPHY, 8E

I have a great admiration for people who sing. It's a talent that relatively few folks are willing to display, and nothing warms the heart like the combination of the right vocal arrangement paired with just the right voice.

If you add up all of the ballgames, patriotic festiKENT vals, and BERNHARDT NASCAR races I've attended, I have witnessed no less than 500 performances of our national anthem in my nearly 55 trips around the sun.

Therefore, considering myself an expert on the subject, I will now offer the following snooty critique.

I wonder at times if Francis Scott Key had any idea that he was writing what would become not only the most publicly performed song of all time, but the most often maligned song of all time.

Don’t misunderstand, I’ve heard some beautiful renditions of Key’s work.

Some have moved me to tears. Locally, Neal Wilkinson’s often-heard vocals are sincere and stirring, and nothing moves me more than the sound of a sweet young child sharing a simple rendering.

But lately, is seems that more and more singers have the mistaken notion that the song is about them. A few seem determined to make it their American Idol audition complete with demonstrations of their entire vocal range on each note. At the conclusion, instead of “Play Ball,” I want to yell “OK, Simon, what did you think?”

I don’t want to speak ill of the dead, but one of the worst versions I’ve heard came from an otherwise wonderful singer, Robert Goulet. Years ago at a NASCAR event, he slurred through the song like it was 3 a.m. and he had a dry martini in his hand. I like to do an impression of that one at parties when asked.

The Star-Spangled Banner is quickly becoming the Star-Mangled Banner.

So for those of you who may find yourselves with microphone in hand at a ball game or special patriotic event sometime in the future, I humbly offer a few pointers.

First, keep it simple. It’s a song with a simple message.

You don’t have to dress it up.

It’s beautiful without makeup.

Secondly, if you’re singing it without the benefit of musical accompaniment, start in a slightly lower key.

The song takes a wicked turn upward around “the rocket's red glare,” and you don’t want to run out of vocal road simply because you pitched yourself too high at the beginning. A local American Idol wannabe did that a few years ago, and he crashed and burned in front of the whole crowd. Ugly sight.

Do your best to memorize the words ahead of time, but if you’re concerned about forgetting them, it’s no great shame to have them with you on a card. It’s not the easiest song to remember, and I’ve heard it botched by the best.

Most importantly, remember. You don’t have to be Caruso to deliver a meaningful version of our national anthem. Some of the most beautiful performances I’ve heard came from people with limited vocal talent.

They just knew something that a lot of trained singers don’t; how to stir the souls of the audience, not the talent scout.

BLOOD PRESSURE OUT OF CONTROL?

SUNDAY, JUNE 27, 2010 • 5E

PEOPLE

It’s too late for mean sister to make nice Dear Amy:I am the youngest of three sisters. We have never been close.

Our parents died unexpectedly when I was a senior in high school and my sisters were in their late 20s and already married.

My sisters told me that because I was a minor at the time, I would receive nothing from ASK my parents’ esAMY tate. They took the money my parents had saved for my college expenses.

I found out later that they effectively cheated me out of my inheritance, which, while not large, would have enabled me to pay for college and a little extra.

Despite this, I have tried to have a good relationship with them and have been a good aunt to their children.

Five years ago, I married a man of a different faith. My sisters berated me and refused to acknowledge our marriage.

They did not attend our wedding or send a card, and I have not heard from them since.

Now my husband has achieved a great deal of financial success, and both my sisters have begun contacting me asking for money or jobs for their children.

Honestly, I want nothing to do with these people.

My husband is more inclined

to help them, but he does not know their viciousness toward him before we were married.

What should we do?

— Sad Sister

I could ever want; we share the same interests and offbeat sense of humor, and he’s single.

If I were attractive or even plain, I wouldn’t hesitate to make my feelings known.

But I can’t stand the thought of him looking at me in disgust the way other men have. The thought of losing a friendship I have come to treasure is heartbreaking.

How do I accept what part of him I am permitted to have and move on with my life — when everything inside of me is screaming that this may be my one and only chance of happiness?

— Ugly but Still Human

Dear Sad: You have a longer and more complex history with your sisters than your husband does, and you should tell him the truth about these family members — not to hurt his feelings, but so he may understand your feelings.

Your sisters sound toxic, shallow, ruthless and mean.

You should not reward these thieves by letting them anywhere near your money or business.

If you have nieces or nephews who are interested in employDear Ugly: I hate to challenge ment, then they should contact you and your husband directly — your assumption about your ugliness, except to remind you of not through their mothers. the old saying that “beauty is in Dear Amy: I am a very unattrac- the eye of the beholder.”

You are wise to suppress that In my younger days, there were times when I was brave screaming voice inside, howevenough to let men know I was in- er. Thinking of this as your “one terested in getting to know them and only chance of happiness” puts too much pressure on both better.

Katie scarvey/SALISBURY POST

On Fisher Street, Luke Miller peers down an alley, trying to compose a compelling shot.

PHOTOGRAPHY FROM 1E the week is over.

“If not, they will appreciate what they can do in digital a little more,” he said.

“I always tell them, don’t let a machine think for you.”

On Wednesday, students were enthusiastic about how the week had gone so far.

Miranda Raymond admitted that she initially wasn’t that interested in the program. Once it started, however, and she started hearing about all the things that could be done with the cameras, she said she got excited.

“It’s fun and interesting,” she said.

One photograph per student will be selected for inclusion in the History Makes Art professional exhibition at Waterworks Visual Arts Center September 4 – November 20.

The opening reception is scheduled for 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10.

Joshua Cross, the instructor for a week-long photography residency at Waterworks Visual Arts Center, explains something to assistant Aaron Cress in the Linn-Norvell Darkroom.

Feeling nostalgic for The Friendly Cue Friday, I dropped by Rufty-Holmes Senior Center — as I do every Friday — to deliver our little weekly paper, Coffee News.

I almost always see people I know there.

For some reason, lately, I run into more SAM and more people my POST age.

There’s always a group of guys shooting pool — and they’re pretty good players.

I’m always in a hurry, but I know enough about pool etiquette to stop at the door and watch the shot before crossing the room.

Last week, one of the guys looked up and said: “I know you. You’re a Post.”

I confirmed that and said my name.

“You've got a brother,” he

said.

“Two,” I said.

“One of them used to come up to the pool hall with you.”

“Jonny,” I said.

Then he told me about Larry Lowe, who ran the The Friendly Cue with his father L.B., and was having some serious health problems.

Believe me, I love theatre as much as I love anything in this world, and I appreciate the remarkable transformation of Fisher Street in recent years. I look forward to seeing shows in The Norvell. But I had to admit what I really felt.

“It’s a theatre now,” I said. “I liked it better when it was a pool hall.”

Moans of agreement.

“You got that right,” one guy said.

There was something special about that place.

The big, sturdy tables. The selection of heavy, straight

sticks that L.B. made himself. You could look up to the mezzanine and watch him work at the lathe.

The smell of tobacco.

The multitude of large ceiling fans that made it a cool place on the hottest of summer days.

The separation of pool and alcohol. The mix of people. The communal haze of naughtiness in the air. The temptation to gamble.

When you lost a game, there was a poetic justice: if a guy is really good at pool, then he spends too much time at it. He’s a little suspect as a person.

And of course there was the impeccable service — the thrill of winning a game and getting to yell “Rack!”

I don’t know if it’s true because I wasn’t born yet, but family legend has it that my grandfather, Sam Zimmerman, spent a little too much time there himself.

One of the guys who

racked balls there in the 80s remembered him, probably from the 30s and 40s, when the pool hall was across the street in the Las Palmas/Brick Street Tavern building.

My grandparents had a store three blocks away on North Main Street and lived upstairs, above the store.

My grandmother would send somebody (one of her children, perhaps?) down to the pool hall to tell him to come home.

In my mind, which is strictly imaginary, he wasn’t shooting pool. He was sitting in one of the high wooden chairs along the wall, talking and reading the newspaper.

There are other stories of people having to go get other people and bring them home from various locations downtown.

My grandfather also gathered with other men at Purcell’s drug store (now

Spanky’s), where they pulled all-nighters gathered around a radio listening to news of the war.

Story has it that women in their nightgowns would walk in and order their husbands home.

When I go out at night, I drink a beer. They supposedly drank coffee while they listened to the news — and they probably really did.

These days, we enjoy fancy coffee, but we drink it mostly in the morning. Back then, Americans actually drank more coffee. It was common at every meal, and in the evenings.

My Mom once told me that on Pearl Harbor Day she was watching a movie at the Capitol Theatre. The Capitol was located just behind the store they lived in, through the alley, on the first block of West Innes Street, where the Salisbury Post parking lot is now.

Back then, as long as you

stayed in the theater, you could watch the movie over and over. I used to do that myself in the same theater when I was a kid.

Pearl Harbor happened on a Sunday, of course, before the days of television, and Mom was watching the movie for the second time when Leon, her brother, came to get her. “"The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor,” he said.

“Daddy’s real mad about it and said for you to come home now!”

I guess I'm pretty lucky.

I’m basically a homebody.

When I do go out, I'm easy to reach (by phone), but not that easy to find. I'm not just down the block, a few hundred yards away — in a pool hall, or drug store, or theater.

And nobody has ever really tried to get me to come home. My parents didn't much care, and neither does my wife. I wonder why.

64TH ANNUAL FAITH 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION

History of Faith Fourth of July

The town of Faith was incorporated in 1903 and around that time a handful of area residents gathered to honor their Confederate War veterans with a picnic and games. The Peeler family, operators of a number of business's in Faith, was instrumental in these initial get togethers on the Fourth of July. The 4th Celebrations were more like family picnics with few activities. A citizen remembers the greasy pole that proved a challenge for one soldier in the crowd. Also, races were a favorite and a horse drawn merry-go-round was a rather unusual attraction.

The Faith's 4th of July Celebration was originally sanctioned by the town government in 1920, the sad conditions of wars and general economic distress intervened. Gatherings were sporadic.

The end of World War II brought back happier times. The annual celebration was revived. Before Ray McCombs, life long resident and active supporter of the celebration made a comment that organizers received quite a shock when twice as any participants showed up as were expected. It also noted that food quickly ran out and Faith's cooks went to their own kitchens to bring more food.

Strategic planning takes on a clear meaning for those with the responsibility for the upcoming celebration. Currently

30,000 people attend the mile-and-a-half parade. Most of these stay for the day in Faith .

The menu on the 4th of July that the civic and community volunteers prepare consists of the following: • Barbecued shoulders • Hot Dogs • Hamburgers • Country Ham • Ice Cream Cones • Drinks

as in a family reunion. As children grow up and marry or move away, many come back for the Fourth of July in Faith.

Former Mayor Tim Williams says that the 4th of July and Patriotism are instilled in residents from birth. The town decorates the streets and their homes with flags to show their patriotism.

The four sponsoring civic organizations use the proceeds from the 4th of July Celebration for scholarships, local school needs, local library needs, park improvements, and other town/community needs.

President George Bush attended the celebration in 1992. Having the President of the United States drop by for a ball game ( he played ), lunch and a speech was an all-time high for the residents and guests that attended in 1992.

The 4th of July offers an old-fashion good time. Events during the day include old favorites like the sack race, the three-legged race and the piggy back race. There is also a watermelon eating contest, a shoe and egg toss.

S46602

Since 1946 the Town of Faith has hosted a 4th of July celebration with patriotic pride. A week-long celebration requires a great deal of planning by the sponsoring organizations and community volunteers. The Faith 4th of July Celebration is sponsored by the Faith American Legion Post #327, the Faith American Legion Auxiliary Unit #327, The Faith Civitans, and the Faith Jaycees. The celebration has been called one of the biggest 4th of July Celebrations in the state of North Carolina.

The volunteers arrive very early on the morning of the 4th to prepare the food. Smoke fills the air as the shoulders are taken off the pits to be chopped for sandwiches. The charcoal grills are fired up to prepare the hamburgers and country ham. The dedication of community volunteers continue to work the food and drink booths throughout the day of July 4th.

All activities take place on the Faith American Legion Park and Faith Elementary School grounds. Children like the celebration due to the rides that come in for a week. Also , food and concessions vendors come to the celebration according to availability of space.

The day is usually very hot and humid with a scattered thunderstorm.

Seasonal Sounds May Scare Your Pet (MS) — This is the season for bottle rockets and thunderclaps. What causes many people to look up in the sky in awe could be prompting your pet to cower under the bed.

Some pets are extremely sound sensitive. These dog and cats may suffer a high level of fear and stress when exposed to loud noises such as fireworks, gunshots, thunder and vehicle backfires, according to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers. In such a state of anxiety, pets may jump through windows, scale fences, or do whatever is in their means to escape normal confinement systems, such as leashes or cages.

“It makes a lot of sense for animals to be afraid of loud, sudden noises. In the wilds, noise of this magnitude would be correlated with some real danger, like a landslide or tornado,” says Janice Willard, DVM. “We may be able to understand that a fireworks display is just entertainment, but for our pets, the fear is very real and related to basic survival instincts.”

Not all pets react the same way to loud noises. And some are bothered by one noise and not another. It pays to get in tune with what frightens your dog or cat.

“What may cause fear in a dog and how the dog responds behaviorally will vary between dogs. Noise phobias are not mutually exclusive. Some dogs may only be fearful of thunderstorms, while others may also be afraid of fireworks and

Pets may be frightened of loud noises and seek out quiet spots in the house.

other loud noises,” says Dr. Kari Wallentine, a veterinarian and graduate student in animal sciences and industry at Kansas State University.

While it is often difficult to teach an old dog — or cat — new tricks, there are steps to reduce pets’ anxiety when loud noises are stressful.

1. Be mindful of when fireworks displays or other loud events, such as block parties or community festivals are taking place in your neighborhood. You can anticipate whether the noise will be frightening to your pet and take the necessary precautions.

2. If your pet spends most time outdoors, move him or her inside if there are fireworks or thunderstorms. Not only does this safeguard RE-ELECT the pet’s safety, it can help reduce the level of stress from these loud events.

3. Make attempts to muffle the frightening District Court Judge sounds. Move your pet into an inside room, such as a basement or a large closet so he or she is far enough away from the noise. Keep the room dim and think about playing soft music or placing the television on to serve as white noise.

4. Don’t encourage your pet’s behavior, but don’t punish it either. “Ignore fearful behavior the best you can, even though it may be difficult,” says Dr. Wallentine. “Don’t punish your pet or do anything that your pet might find rewarding, such as petting or talking soothingly; this may increase the fearful behavior and phobia.”

5. There’s a difference between intermittent Judge Eddinger, Liana Eddinger fear and a serious phobia. If your pet’s health and Michael and Mia is compromised by loud noises or other triggers, talk to your veterinarian and see what behavPaid for by the committee to re-elect Kevin Eddinger, District Court Judge. ioral treatment options or medications there may be available.

“It has been my honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Rowan County as an Assistant District Attorney over the years. I have tried to be a voice for victims in our community and to bring to them a sense that justice was served in their respective situations. I have demanded a lot for those who deserve a lot. That has not always been easy or popular in a system that is finding itself overworked and underfunded, but it has been the right thing to do and worth the effort it takes to hold an offender accountable for his or her actions. I do not intend to surrender that philosophy simply for the sake of expediency. I do not believe that the citizens of Rowan County want that either. As a prosecutor, I took an oath to administer justice.

That means justice for all parties, including victims.”

“I am a prosecutor. I have always wanted to be a prosecutor. I have been tried and tested in our Courts and by our citizen juries. I have also proven myself to be a leader in the District Attorney’s Office and a mentor for the new attorneys who come into the office. With the help of the voters, I will be able to continue to be a voice for justice and serve the citizens of Rowan County as their District Attorney.”

Joanne Holshouser, Our Mrs. Faith

By Tim Williams Growing up in Faith is a wonderful experience for any kid, but especially for those of us that happened to be born in the 50s. Back in those days we could all run freely around the town. After all we knew everyone and if we did something wrong our neighbors would certainly tell our parents. There were dirt roads, Curly's Soda Shoppe, creeks, trees, ball games, recreation in the Legion Park, Bible School, youth beach trips and Mr. Bob Fink's bug truck in the summer time that fogged the town with what was most likely DDT (we all rode our bikes sucking up all that bug spray-it smelled so good). There were no worries back then. Not like today.

We didn't wear helmets, we drank out of the hose pipe, rode horses bare back and didn't come in until suppertime. All the kids in town played together, went to school together and attended one of three welcoming churches-many times together. It was great. We lived in a place where Christmas was celebrated every 6 months, or at least it seemed that way - Christmas in December and the 4th in July.

Much of what made Faith such a special place was all of the wonderful adult mentors that raised us all, talking about "taking a village". Faith was and is such an idyllic village. Many older, wiser folks looked after all of us and made sure that we were "raised up right".

Teachers at Faith School taught us and loved us as if their own. Sunday School teachers taught us about the Bible and to love one another and especially to love Jesus and our civic groups taught us to respect the FLAG and to love our country, the USA, with all of our hearts.

We were very blessed to have these mentors in our lives. Those of us that stayed in Faith into adulthood all know and realize this simple truth-we were blessed.

One of the mentors that was so good to all of us was Joanne Holshouser. Miss Joanne, as we called her, taught us all good and wholesome life lessons. She was a lady of her word, always. She taughts us first and foremost to love Jesus, our Lord and Savior. She showed us the way at weekday church school,

Joanne Holshouser bible school, children's and youth choir and Sunday School. She taught us "Jesus Bids A Shine" and "Jesus Love the little Children, Red and Yellow, Black and White " and "God Sees the Little Sparrows Fall" and "Jesus Love Me". She and Miss Helen and Miss Binkie always gave us a marigold flower each and every Easter. We will never forget. They were all so good to us. We know it now.

Miss Joanne and Mr. Ted, her husband, had 5 wonderful daughters, Jody Anne, Lu Anne, Meredyth Anne, Sally Anne and Leslie Anne. Miss Joanne and Mr. Ted were active members of the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary.

Miss Jo taught her daughters and all the girls in town and many of us brothers, including me, all about the American Legion, our veterans, America, the flag, flag etiquette, and respect for all the men and women in all armed forces. She did all this with the Jr. Auxiliary. She started the group of young girls and she taught each and

everyone. Years ago, Miss Jo started a girls softball team. The Legion Auxiliary sponsored the team. She and her five girls were always working to make the team the best around. She was the youngest Mom around, running the bases and throwing the ball just like the young girls. She made sure that there was always a Miss Poppy to represent Faith in the 4th of July parade and she always made sure that each girl got to go to camp with her. She taught them to make breakfast pancakes and to dip ice cream to make money for their trip together.

For 35 years Miss Jo represented the Legion Auxiliary on the Faith 4th of July Committee. She was always, always faithful, always voting her mind and was always respectful of others on the committee. She loved the Legion and had the honor to have been elected State President of the Legion Auxiliary.

She travelled this great state and this nation that she loved up until the very last minute that her girls had to tell her that she was crazy to think that she could go to a conference the day after her chemotherapy treatment. She was one of the most determined, most dedicated, most loving people that anyone would ever want to meet. Miss Joanne had to leave her family and all of us in Faith. We miss her very much. She left us way too soon. She had so much more to do. She will be greatly missed this 4th of July as she is at Faith Lutheran Church. I wonder who will mow the Legion's grass at 4 in the morning or plant the flowers..... I wonder. We miss you Miss Jo and will always love you.

Our Miss 4th of July. Thank you for all you did for us and especially for all you taught us.

The Faith Fourth of July Committee would like to dedicate this publication to Joanne Holshouser and Charles(Major) Carter

A Fitting Tribute

By Ginger Smith You would think one tragedy would be enough to bear for a family, but the Grand Marshall for the 64th Faith Fourth of July parade, Tim Elrod, has had to endure two in a span of a little more than 3 years. Tim and Teresa Elrod’s son, Nathan, was serving his second tour in Iraq with the 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, when his Humvee was hit by an improvised explosive device. Nathan was killed while conducting combat operations in Anbar province. On October 21st, 2006, the Elrod’s life changed forever.

Then on December 3rd, 2009, another lifechanging event happened. Tim and Teresa had both purchased motorcycles the year before as therapy to cope Tim Elrod with their son’s death. They enjoyed riding together and with friends. But on this December day, a truck turned left in front of Tim causing him to hit the truck and become airborne. The accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. He spent 3 months at CMC in Charlotte in the intensive care unit and at the rehabilitation center.

He is now working to adjust to life in a wheelchair. Many would view these two events as tragic, but Tim has said many times that his accident is just an inconvenience, nothing compared to losing his son, Nathan.

When the Fourth of July Committee asked Tim to be the Grand Marshall,

Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal With Combat Distinguishing Device For

Nathan Elrod he and Teresa made it clear that they would only agree to lead the parade if it was in memory of their son, Nathan. So on this day when thousands of adults and children alike will turn out to see the 64th Faith Fourth of July parade, the Elrods will proudly lead the procession in memory of their son, Nathan Elrod, who so proudly gave his life for our freedom. They will ride in memory of all who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and in honor of all who are serving or have served this great nation to preserve our nation’s freedom. What a fitting tribute on this 234th celebration of our nation’s history.

Heroic achievement while serving as Machine Gunner, 1st Mobile Assault Platoon, Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 1-1 Brigade Combat Team, I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), from September to October 2006 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Lance Corporal Elrod performed his duties courageously and with the utmost professionalism during combat operations in Ramadi. He skillfully engaged the enemy with his machine gun from the turret of his vehicle, aggressively pursuing the enemy. On September 19, Lance Corporal Elrod helped successfully defeat an enemy attack on his platoon by engaging anti-Iraq elements effectively with his machine gun. On 24 and 26 September, he engaged the enemy successfully, destroying them and assisting his fellow Marines. On 20 and 21 October, Lance Corporal Elrod courageously provided security for route clearing operations on the treacherous streets and alleyways of Ramadi. As he maneuvered undaunted through the dangerous streets he gave his life for his country when his vehicle was attacked by an improvised explosive device. Lance Corporal Elrod’s initiative, courage, and devotion to duty reflected credit upon him and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.

(MS) — When it comes to warm weather parties, few ideas are more popular than a backyard barbecue.

However, as enjoyable as such gatherings can be, they can cause problems as well, particularly if certain steps aren’t taken when it comes to cooking and handling food. * Clean your hands: Most backyard barbecues feature a host of standard fare when it comes to the menu.

Burgers, steaks, hot dogs, and poultry are some of the most popular items. If you’re handling raw meat and poultry, wash your hands between touching the meat and then touching the poultry. * Don’t marinate outside: Any good grillmaster knows that the key to a successful barbecue is how well the food is marinated. If marinating food for an extended period of time, keep the food refrigerated while marinating. Also, be sure not to apply leftover marinade to food that’s already cooked. If you’re wary of wasting the marinade, boil it before applying to cooked food. The boiling will remove any bacteria left in the marinade by the raw meat or chicken. * Use a meat thermometer: Many grill chefs have heard cries that their food isn’t cooked well enough.

Typically, this is heard after someone puts all the fixin’s on their food. That can make continuing to cook the food a messy ordeal. To avoid such instances, use a meat thermometer on burgers and steaks. In general, burgers should be cooked to 160 F, while meats such as steaks, roasts or london broil can be cooked to 145 F (medium rare) or 160 F (medium). Undercooked poultry can be especially dangerous, so cook to 170 F. * Change utensils and plates: Once the food is cooked or if you’re checking to see if it’s finished, don’t use the same utensils to remove or check food that you used to place it on the grill. Also, carry the uncooked food out on one plate, and present cooked food on another plate to avoid food contamination. * Heat a charcoal grill properly: If you prefer to use a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are heated for 20 to 30 minutes before you put any food on the grill. Coals should not still be black if you’re about to commence cooking. Instead, they should be gray. * For tailgaters, cool your food as wel: Grilling out isn’t confined to summertime or backyards. Sports fans across the nation often take their grills to the stadium and tailgate before the big game. In such cases, make sure you bring a food-only cooler along. Keep food separated and refrigerated in the cooler and until it’s time to do some cooking.

Practice Boating Safety During July 4th Celebrations The United States Coast Guard (USCG) reminds all boaters of the three C’s of boating safety as we approach the July 4th holiday.

Boaters should use “caution” when operating their vessel, be “courteous” to other boaters on the water, and use “common sense” on the water.

All boaters should: * Have a sober operator - DON’T operate a boat under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Alcohol and drugs affect judgment, vision, balance and coordination. The marine environment — motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray — accelerates a drinker’s impairment; and de-

creases coordination, judgment and reaction time. * Wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket or personal floatation device at all times. The law requires you to have a PFD on-board for each passenger; the Coast Guard recommends all occupants wear a PFD at all times. The worse time to look for a PFD or life jacket is when you are already in distress. * Have a marine-band radio. If you are in distress, you can reach the Coast Guard on marine band channel 16, the distress channel. Use of a cell phone could provide rescuers with a false location of your vessel. * Have a float plan. File a float plan with someone who is not getting underway with you and stick to the plan. If you change plans, contact the person.

A float plan assists responders in the search of an overdue boater that is in distress. * Report any suspicious activity on the water to the U.S. Coast Guard or local marine authorities. “If you see something, say something.”

“The Coast Guard will put extra emphasis on boating safety this Fourth of July holiday,” said Rear Adm. Peter V. Neffenger, commander of the Ninth Coast Guard District. “I ask all boaters to help us prevent accidents, injuries and fatalities. Wear your life jacket and use courtesy and common sense on the water.”

What would the summer be without a barbecue, some fireworks and a backyard full of family and friends to celebrate the country’s independence?

For many people July 4th (July 1st for Canada Day celebrants) is the official kick-off to the summer entertaining season, and they plan on making the most of the holiday by planning festive celebrations. But will the financial crunch of today’s economy take a bite out of July bashes this year? It doesn’t have to.

There are plenty of ways to host a bang of an independence day party without spending too many bucks. * Barbecue foods are some of the most cost-conscious ones available. Hot dogs and hamburgers will satiate those on the guest list and are reasonably inexpensive, especially when you buy in bulk. For even more savings per burger, purchase flash-frozen hamburger patties instead of fresh from the meat counter. Supermarkets generally discount buns and condiments close to the July 4th weekend, so browse through sales circulars for the best deals. If money really is an object, have a BBQ pot luck, asking guests to bring one dish each. * Send out e-vites to guests and save on postage and paper invitations. They’re fast, environmentally friendly, and best of all: inexpensive to send. * Entertainment can be simple. If kids will be attenting the festivities, they usually can be entertained by a day in the backyard swimming pool or by setting up a sprinkler to keep cool. Adults will make due with conversation and some music playing in the background. If budget allows, you can purchase some outdoor games, such as water balloons, a limbo stick and a pinata. * Visit a 99 cents store. For those with this type of store in their neighborhood, shopping for party supplies can be inexpensive. These stores stock everything from colored plates and napkins, balloons, decorations, and more for around one dollar each item.

If you don’t have a 99 cents store, wholesale-type stores may also stock inexpensive items, or look to online retailers like OrientalTrading.com. *Reign in the booze budget. Alcoholic beverages can take a bite out of a budget, so stick to one or two options, such as malt beverages and beer. Or you can create one signature mixed drink that fits in with the theme of the party. Have a non-alcoholic version available for the kids and those designated drivers. * Do dessert. On a hot day, and after spending hours in the yard, a cool dessert will be appreciated.

A cost-effective treat is prepackaged ice cream cups.

Or find out if you can arrange to have an ice cream truck pass by your home the day of the party and make dessert the guests’ responsibility. * Watch someone else’s fireworks display.

Fireworks are expensive and illegal in some areas.

So leave the display to someone else. Public parks, boardwalks and municipal areas tend to put on fireworks shows every year. The key is to track down a display nearby on the day of your party. Then just bring your own chairs and enjoy the show.

works illegally will likely result in fireworks confiscation by authorities (a waste of your money), fines or even jail time.

• Fireworks are for outdoor use only. Do not light them indoors and then carry them outside.

• Follow the instructions for fireworks usage on the packaging. Use them only as intended. Do not try to combine fireworks to get a bigger bang or light display.

• Keep water in a bucket and a hose nearby for safety reasons.

• Fireworks should be operated soley by an adult. This adult should wear safety glasses. Spectators should keep a safe distance. Always let common sense prevail.

• Don’t hold fireworks in your hand or have any part of your body over them while lighting.

• Don’t try to re-light a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes or more and then extinguish the dud in a bucket of water.

• Sparklers can be beautiful but also dangerous. Do not let children under the age of 12 handle sparklers.

• Point fireworks away from homes, and keep away from brush, leaves and flammable substances.

The National Fire Protection Association estimates that local fire departments respond to more 50,000 fires caused by fireworks each year.

• Never throw or point fireworks at someone, even in jest.

• Be respectful of others. Do not shoot fireworks off for a long duration into the wee hours of the night.

Neighbors may be trying to get some sleep.

By being safe, you can ensure that this summer fireworks season will be enjoyable and a delight to behold.

(MS) — One may be hard-pressed to find a person who doesn’t enjoy a breathtaking fireworks display.

These pyrotechnic delights are one of the hallmarks of the summer season. Parks, area beaches and many other recreational areas feature fireworks displays to light up the nighttime sky. Fireworks are also very popular for personal use, with peak use around big holidays, such as Independence Day or Canada Day. Consumer fireworks, if used in accordance with their instructions, are very safe, says the National Council on Fireworks Safety. Injuries from consumer fireworks have dramatically decreased over the past twenty years, despite an increase in usage by consumers. Today, some form of consumer fireworks are allowed in 45 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. But some fireworks can be dangerous. It is recommended that you only buy consumer fireworks from a licensed store or stand. Never buy fireworks from an individual’s house, or from someone on the street. Such fireworks are likely to be illegal explosives that can cause serious injury.

Consumer fireworks regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission are packaged in bright colors and have safety warnings on the packaging. The packaging sets forth the country of origin, normally China. Typical consumer fireworks include fountains, cones, sparklers, fire crackers, bottle rockets, and multiple tube products.

Illegal explosives are often unpackaged and are wrapped with plain brown paper. They are unlikely to have any safety warnings, or place of manufacture. Many of them are handmade in basements or illicit factories. They go by names such as M80, Quarter Stick or Cherry Bomb.
