Erin Brockovich speaks for Yadkin Riverkeeper organization BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

karissa minn/SALISBURY POST

Erin Brockovich, international environmental activist, speaks at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.

WINSTON-SALEM — Activist Erin Brockovich denounced Alcoa’s environmental record Tuesday and spoke in support of a public trust to control the Yadkin River’s dams. During a press conference at Wake Forest University, Brockovich said Alcoa Power Generating Inc. needs to address the environmental damage done to Badin Lake and other waterways. “We need to hold them accountable,” she said. Brockovich was made famous by a 2000 movie about her fight against a utility company that had contaminated the groundwater of a small town. Julia Roberts won an academy award for her role as Brockovich. Brockovich said Alcoa disposed of hazardous waste that has affected local water-

ways, and the company hasn’t done enough to fix the damage. “It’s like a child who has a messy room and doesn’t want to clean it up,” Brockovich said. “They’ve made a mess, and they need to come in and get in the process of cleaning up.” In 1917, Alcoa began aluminum smelting and manufacturing operations at a plant near Badin Lake. Eighty years later, Alcoa released information about isolated chemical contamination in the lake. The company shut down the Badin Works plant in 2002. Alcoa spokesman Kevin Lowery said in an interview Tuesday that Alcoa has spent more than $10 million on successful remediation efforts. “The state of North Carolina agreed with studies that show there’s absolutely no threat to human health or the environment, and that our cleanup efforts are actually having a very positive effect,” Lowery said.

He also said Alcoa is working on a longterm plan for continued monitoring of water quality. Brockovich urged Alcoa to address stillexisting contamination for the sake of local residents. She introduced Helen Hammonds, who lost her husband, William, to a rare form of cancer. Blood tests showed high levels of toxic PCBs specific to Alcoa’s Badin Works plant, Hammonds said, which accumulated in his system when he ate contaminated fish. Alcoa has said similar levels of PCBs have been found in Badin Lake and well upstream of the Badin Works plant. Lowery said he hadn’t heard of any complaints such as Hammonds’. At the press conference, Brockovich praised legislation that would create a public trust to manage the Yadkin Hydroelec-

Ann Powlas releases a red-tailed hawk next to the Rowan County Animal Shelter. The hawk has been at the Carolina Raptor Center recovering from injuries after becoming stuck in the muck of an aeration basin at the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

tinky’s return to Rowan County was hardly a hero’s welcome. He came in a card-

board box with a bunch of holes punched in it so he could breathe. And he rode in the back of Barry and Ann Powlas’ fourdoor sedan, making the near hour’s trip from the Carolina Raptor Center in Huntersville. He’s built for flying, not back-seat driving. But Stinky, as you can tell by his name, MARK was used to inWINEKA dignities. Back in late May, while trying to capture an unsus-

pecting finch out of mid air, the red-tailed hawk misjudged the arc of his flight and tumbled into an aeration basin at the Town Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. And there, in some terribly smelly goop, he was stuck, refusing to let go of the finch in his talons. Wastewater Operations Manager Mike Frick cowboyed up in face shield, ropes, welding gloves and waders to rescue the hawk, which by the time Frick reached him had tuckered out completely from his struggle to get out of the basin. Rowan County Animal Control Officer Ann Frye hosed the hawk down and drove him to the animal shelter where Barry Powlas was waiting to transport the in-

Former Home Oil and Coal president Bob Chandler dies BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Many years ago, on a snowy December night, David Clay needed help. The ground was covered in snow, his fourth daughter had just been born and his home was out of heating oil. Clay knew he could call on one of his good friends for help. “I called Bob, and within 30 minutes there was someone there filling up the whole tank,” Clay said. “Bob,” he said, does-

Deaths

Through the first six months of 2010, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and Salisbury Police Department have already investigated a combined seven murders — as many as the two agencies investigated in all of 2009. And all the killings have occurred in just over a month. The Sheriff’s Office investigated two murders last year. And through the first five months of this year, investigators were staying busy with break-ins, assaults and other crimes, but no homicides. But on June 2, deputies responded to Ingram MotorSports on Auction Drive, checking on a call relayed from Catawba County’s 911 center. A daughter had lost touch with her parents, who had met someone to sell a car. Deputies found the bodies of Jerry and Jody Bullin locked inside the business. After a nearly three-week break, sheriff’s investigators faced two more murders over the weekend. With just half of 2010 in the books, the Sheriff’s Office has launched four murder probes — double the number for all of 2009. Salisbury Police have encountered a similar pattern.

Chandler passed away Monday after a decline in health, but left a legacy of community giving in Salisbury. He lived in Salisbury his entire life, moving to Lake Norman with his wife, Valerie. In 18 days, the two would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary together. Chandler was 89 years old. Born Aug. 8, 1920 in Salisbury, his parents were the late Zalia Culp Chandler and Robert L. Chandler, Sr. He graduated from Boyden High School, and

received a degree from Catawba College. He also served in the U.S. Navy Seabees for three and a half years during World War II. Upon returning to Salisbury, he became president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1951. In 1953 he was named Salisbury’s “Young Man of the Year.” He worked for Home Oil and Coal Company for 39 years, retiring as president in 1985.

RALEIGH (AP) — The General Assembly gave tentative approval Tuesday to a final budget that Democrats contend would preserve more teachers and university faculty jobs this fall but also likely would end help with cooking and bathing for thousands of Medicaid patients living at home. In largely party-line votes, the Senate gave initial approval 31-14 to the nearly $19 billion spending plan followed by the House with a 66-49 margin. The two chambers must approve the bill again Wednesday before it heads to Gov. Beverly Perdue. She said Tuesday she intends to sign the bill into law before the new fiscal year begins Thursday — on time for the first time since 2003. “We took big cuts and made hard choices, but by tomorrow we will have balanced the budget with our priorities intact,” Perdue said in a news release calling the budget a “clear win” for North Carolina residents. “Most importantly, North Carolina will be positioned to fully recover from this global economic recession.” The measure includes no broad tax increases but provides a tax credit to small business-

A bill establishing a Yadkin River Trust was approved in the state House but defeated in a Senate committee in July 2009. Dean Naujoks, Yadkin Riverkeeper, said a new bill now sits in the General Assembly’s conference committee. Since 2002, Alcoa has been trying to renew its 50year license to operate the project. After the press conference Tuesday afternoon, two Salisbury residents were able to meet and take photos with Brockovich.

CHANDLER FROM 1a During his time with Home Oil and Coal Company, Chandler was elected vice president of the Fuel Oil Division of the N.C. Oil Jobbers Association in 1964 and featured in an article in the magazine, “The Humble (Oil) Energy Marketer.” Chandler was a longtime member of the Salisbury Jaycees and Civitan Club, and was even president of the Salisbury Civitans at one time, making many lifetime friends and positive changes in Salisbury. Dr. Norman Sloop, who sat at the same table with Chandler during the Civitan meetings, said that once Chandler moved to Lake Norman, he still drove over almost every Thursday to Salisbury for the meetings. “He was nothing but a fine gentleman,” Sloop said. “Nothing but honest.” David Jordan, a former banker in Salisbury, was on the Home Federal and Savings Bank board of directors with Chandler when the

Brockovich said while she may not look like Roberts, the events of the film were real and so is the title character. “The character on the big screen and the person standing before you now is, and always has been, the very essence of who I am,” she said. That person is passionate about justice, morality and fair play, she said. That per-

son is driven to right wrongs. “I believe that’s the essence of who you are, as well,” Brockovich said. She went on to tell the crowd not to be discouraged by failure or the words of others — Brockovich herself was voted least likely to succeed in her class. By persisting when it would have been easier to give up, Brockovich helped build and win the now-famous case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) of California in 1993. She has since started a consulting firm and works on a variety of environmental projects, including a class action lawsuit involving Alcoa’s Australian operations. Brockovich said residents of a town in Australia called Yarloop are reporting health effects that they believe are caused by emissions from Alcoa’s Wagerup refinery.

MIAMI (AP) — Alex has become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season and is churning through the western Gulf, taking aim at the Mexico-Texas border and far away from the massive oil spill. Alex had maximum sustained winds at 75 mph (120 kph) late Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center says the Category 1 storm is the first June Atlantic hurricane since 1995. Forecasters says landfall seems likely Wednesday night. Hurricane-force winds extended up to 15 miles (30 kilometers) from the storm’s center. Tropical storm-force winds extend 175 miles (280 kilometers). A hurricane warning was posted for the Texas coast from Baffin Bay, south to the mouth of the Rio Grande river and south to La Cruz, Mexico.

He had a great number of friends here in Rowan County. “It was always interesting and fun to work with Bob.” A Salisbury Jaycee with Clay, Chandler helped to reestablish the Rowan County Fair, also working together on the Thanksgiving/Christmas parade, paper drives and other community events. “I’ve known Bob from my first coming to Salisbury in 1952,” Clay said. “Back in those days, the Jaycees were really the workhorses of the community and we were both really active in the Jaycees at that time.

ficer used a stun gun on Varner.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An 87-year-old grandmother who was Tasered by police while hooked to an oxygen machine in her bed is suing her Oklahoma hometown. Attorney Brian Dell said Tuesday that he filed the lawsuit June 21 on behalf of his client, Lona Varner. He did not specify the amount she’s seeking from the city of El Reno, but said it’s at least $75,000. Varner’s grandson called 911 on Dec. 22 and told the dispatcher his grandmother “wanted to end her life” and that he was concerned she had taken some unknown medicine. Officer Thomas Duran says in a police report that Varner pulled a kitchen knife from under her pillow and threatened to stab and kill him if he tried to take her from her home.

things in the community.” Chandler also served on the Salisbury City School Board. In 1983, he ran for the Salisbury City Council as a newcomer and succeeded, receiving the second highest number of votes behind former Mayor Wiley Lash. His one term serving on the City Council wasn’t his first brush with politics — in 1954 Chandler became the campaign manager for Sen. Alton Lennon. Using his business expertise outside of oil, Chandler was on the board of directors of the Home Savings and Loan Association, was elected Rowan County chairman of the N.C. Petroleum Council in 1969 and was the co chair of YMCA Teams Organization in 1955. Something Chandler was also very passionate about was the Bi-Rite Investment Club, said Clay.

“It was rough at first,” Clay said, noting that the group of men bought stocks together. “But then we got into Food Lion doings. “We had a good, nice group.” The group, mostly neighbors from the Forest Hills neighborhood, often got together to talk about stocks and investments. They also took time to relax with their wives, taking trips together to Clay’s house in Cherry Grove and Chandler’s house on Lake Norman. “That was just one of the highlights,” Clay said of his relationship with Chandler. Earl Haynes, a longtime neighbor of Chandler, remember’s him hosting the men’s group. “He loved to do it,” Haynes said. “He was very active in the neighborhood.” Haynes said he’ll always remember Chandler as a

gentleman. “He was a gentleman’s gentleman, in every measure,” Haynes said. At the end of the day, everyone remembers the same thing about Chandler - his life revolved around the community, and making ideas become realities. “We shared so many good times, but also supported in so many ways the needs for the community,” Clay said. “He was as communityminded as anyone.” Chandler was an active member of First United

DERBY, Vt. (AP) — The clock is ticking on the U.S. government’s acceptance of a 480acre lakefront estate on the U.S.-Canadian border. When Michael Dunn died in 2007, he stipulated that his Eagle Point Farm be sold if the federal government fails to take ownership of it within three years for use as a haven for hikers and campers. That three years is up Sept. 1. The government has a proposal for the land. And on Tuesday, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and Vermont Land Trust gave public tours of the property in preparation for a public meeting later in the day.

STINKY FroM 1a jured, smelly bird to the raptor center. By all accounts, Stinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery was miraculous. He was comatose and near death on his arrival at the Raptor Center. He had to be bathed twice, and Ann Powlas said â&#x20AC;&#x153;his bloodwork was a mess.â&#x20AC;? He also required oxygen and was placed in an incubator to help reset his body temperature. Over the weeks to come, the raptor center staff force-fed the hawk and gave him fluids intravenously. He initially refused to eat the mice and squirrels offered up as treats. His prospects for pulling through were 50-50 at best. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the time I wrote a previous column on Stinky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unfortunate for him, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I thought he should have a name, not a number. Since then, Stinky rebounded quickly. Ann Powlas, a volunteer for the raptor center since 1989, makes the trip to Huntersville on Mondays and Fridays.

The Democrats said they closed an estimated $800 million budget gap by reducing spending by more than 3 percent compared to what was slated for use in the second year of the two-year budget that was approved last summer. Lawmakers also had to narrow a $519 million gap created because Congress hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approved additional Medicaid funds as expected, in part by reducing spending an additional 1 percentage point. Republicans attacked the final proposal as an unbalanced budget because it still

On her work days, Ann made sure to check on Stinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress. Over the past twoand-a-half weeks, he had been eating live mice in the flight cage where he exercised and proved to the staff that he could catch his own food. So at the end of Powlasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; volunteer day Monday, the raptor center doctors said Stinky could return to the wilds of Rowan County. Birds such as hawks and eagles are usually taken back to the areas in which they were injured, unless they were shot or, in Stinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, fell into a sewage basin. Powlas decided a good release spot would be at the Rowan County Animal Shelter off Julian Road, where the staff, especially Fran Pepper, had taken an interest in Stinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recovery. A veteran of scores of bird releases, Powlas expertly fished Stinky out of his box and held him momentarily for a few photographs. Stinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes could bore a hole in you, and his talons could rip you to shreds. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably what he wanted to do to me, since I had

House members asked several questions about a provision that would replace two Medicaid programs that pay for aides to help about 38,000 people living at home with bathing, cooking and other personal care needs.

The department said inpatient visits by nurses beginning a few months ago found most patients were either ineligible for the services or required less assistance. Tim Rogers, chief executive officer of the Association for Home and Hospice Care of North Carolina, said the patients losing services will only cause higher Medicaid costs elsewhere through emergency room visits, hospital stays or the need to move into adult care homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will cost North Carolina millions of additional taxpayer dollars,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These patients will not simply disappear.â&#x20AC;? But one lawmaker said people with disabilities who truly need help will still receive it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one who needs a service will be cut,â&#x20AC;? said Rep.

The bill would allow campuses to raise tuition by $750 per student to help close an extra $70 million in spending cuts lawmakers directed them to make. The measure also gives local school boards and university campuses the option to furlough school employees to offset budget cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On a relative basis and particularly considering the economic climate, the 201011 state budget we received

from the General Assembly was nothing short of remarkable,â&#x20AC;? UNC system President Erskine Bowles said in a release. Reps. Earl Jones of Guilford County and Nick Mackey of Mecklenburg County were the lone Democrats to vote against the budget. Jones said cuts could be avoided if lawmakers considered reviving the video poker industry with the state taking a portion of machine revenues. Rep. Roger West of Cherokee County and Sens. Stan Bingham of Davidson County and Richard Stevens of Wake County were the only GOP legislators to vote for the final budget.

Police seek help in shooting case

Deputies repeatedly called to Landis home BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost.com

Two Rowan Sheriff’s Office deputies had responded to a domestic call at a Landis home less than 90 minutes before Roy Daniels was shot to death. Over the years, deputies had repeatedly gone to the house on domestic calls. Capt. John Sifford said a call came to 911 at 9:12 p.m. Friday reporting an assault had occurred. Two officers responded, arriving at 9:26 p.m. According to their report, Brandy Nicole Lyons told deputies that Daniels had assaulted both her and a nephew. She said he ran off into the woods, apparently after she called 911. Sifford said the deputies advised her to go to the Rowan County Magistrate’s Office and take out warrants for Daniels for assault and advised her about taking out a 50B re-

straining order. The deputies remained at the house until 9:49 p.m. Daniels returned to the house after the deputies left. The next call to 911 came at 10:57 p.m., reporting the shooting. Daniels died from a single blast to the stomach from a 410-gauge shotgun. Lyons has been charged with murder and is being held in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond. Law enforcement and family members have described an on-again, off-again relationship between the couple. They had a 6-year-old child. On June 26, 2006, Lyons applied for a 50B order against Daniels, but according to the records in the Rowan County Clerk of Courts office, Lyons never showed up in court, so no order was approved. A week or so later, she again applied for a 50B order and appeared in court with the judge

Food program has new eligibility requirements BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

There are more than 8,000 active Food and Nutrition Services cases in Rowan County with an average of nearly 800 new applications coming in every month. Food and Nutrition Services, formerly known as food stamps, is an Economic Services Division program offered through the Rowan County Department of Social Services. The social services department determines eligibility for the program and beginning Thursday rules are being expanded. Program benefits will potentially be available to more households. Food and Nutrition Services is a federal food assistance program that helps low-income individuals and families buy the food they need for a nutritionally adequate diet. Benefits are issued through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards that can be used to buy food at participating stores. There are mandates each state must follow for the program, but there are optional policies each state can implement. This change is one North Carolina opted to implement, said Pat Spears, program administrator for the economic services division.

granting the order on July 3, 2006. And she applied for and was granted another restraining order against Daniels on Sept. 11, 2006. There are hundreds, if not thousands of 50B orders, in place in the county at any given time. Sifford said couples, married or not, often have disputes, with one getting the restraining order. After a few days, weeks or months, they get back together. For law enforcement officers, it is a tough and dangerous situation. Sifford said officers are never sure what they are going to walk into on a domestic call. And the record heat wave has made the situation worse. Sifford compared the heat to the record cold and snow last winter — when people get cooped up in close quarters, domestic situations easily escalate into violence.

BY SHAVONNE POTTS LeTonya Sockwell has a lot of things on her mind these days, but getting her son’s hair cut is one less thing she has to worry about. Sockwell, who was laid off from Freightliner, took her 5-year-old son Devian to get a free haircut from a local barber Tuesday. Devian was one of 50 young boys to take advantage of a cost-free haircut from local barbers. The idea to have local barbers offer their services to those who needed it, but couldn’t afford it came from Michael Mitchell, associate pastor of Southern City A.M.E. Zion Church in East Spencer. Mitchell said he’s been wanting to do

Devian harrison gets a free haircut from Calvin Dickerson at Addison’s Barber Shop. the associate pastor of Southern City A.M.e. Zion Church Michael Mitchell had the idea to make a way for area kids to get a haircut to help make them feel good about themselves and help stop violence. Seven barber shops donated their services to the cause. something like this for some time, but was recently reminded when he saw a sign at work that read “a vision without action is just a dream.” He knew then and there it was time to act on the idea God placed within him to create a way for youth to feel good about themselves and have local barbers donate their time. Sockwell’s friend told her of the opportunity. “It’s a blessing, even the little things like this that people don’t think about,” she said. Devian got his hair cut at Addison’s Barbering Styles on Jake Alexander Boulevard, where he’s gotten hair cuts for years. Calvin Dickerson usually cuts Devian’s hair. “We thought it was really great,” Dickerson said. Devian sat still while Dickerson’s clip-

pers glided over his head. “How’s soccer going?” Dickerson asked Devian. “He’s not doing that anymore,” his mother answers. Owner Eugene Addison said this was a way to reach out to the community. “I feel like it’s our duty. We have the opportunity to reach out to different organizations,” he said. When Addison was asked to participate in the effort, he saw it as a great opportunity. “It also gives us a chance to talk to some of our youth,” he said. “We don’t mind.” Addison said he understands times are hard economically.

KANNAPOLIS — A new tradition continues in Kannapolis when the Charlotte Symphony performs Friday night, followed by fireworks. The symphony will provide a free, patriotic program that drew more than 13,000 people last year to the Village Park Amphitheater, between West A and C streets off of Dale Earnhardt Boulevard. The pre-show will begin at 7 p.m. with a performance from the Highland Knights Drum & Bugle Corps. The youth organization based in Kannapolis plays in parades and concerts across the state. The symphony will take the stage at 8:15 p.m., and fireworks will launch around 9:15. Parking will be available at the outer parking lots along Dale Earnhardt Boulevard with free shuttles to Village Park. The Village Park parking lot will be reserved for handicap parking only. Blankets, lawn chairs and picnics are permitted and concessions will be available. No pets, alcohol, grilling or glass bottles. The concert and fireworks are part of the Toyota Scion of Concord Summer Events Series in Kannapolis. The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1932 by Spanish conductor and composer Guillermo S. de Roxlo. The orchestra is now the largest and most active professional performing arts organization in the southeast, employing 100 musicians and performing about 100 times annually.

FOOD FROM 4a “We are not required to, but because of the economy, the state chose to initiate this option,” she said. In order to receive benefits, applicants must meet eligibility requirements for income, household composition, citizenship/immigration status, work requirements and resources. Currently, a household is categorically eligible if it contains members who are eligible for other social services programs including those authorized to receive Work First or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Work First is a program that provides short-term training and other services to help people become employed and self-sufficient. SSI are monthly payments to people who have low income and few resources and are either blind, disabled or over 65. Also, a person’s monthly income does not exceed 130 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) or $2,389 for a family of four. The changes take the criteria to another step beyond the income test. A case worker looks at the person’s gross monthly income, their expenses and whether they can apply certain deductions for

HELP FROM 4a Police said Lambert was thrown out of Benchwarmers on Fisher Street around midnight after an incident involving Jordan and his friends. The incident reportedly centered on usage of a pool table. Police believe Lambert waited two hours for the bar

CUTS FROM 4a “If you give, you will definitely get it back,” he said. “God will bless you.” Addison said he was grateful that the church saw a need and took action. Some youth come from single-parent homes and this is a help, he said. “Being around positive people can make a difference. My mom was a single parent,” Addison said.

Officer injured in wreck leaves hospital A Salisbury Police officer injured in a three-car accident Monday morning has been released from the hospital. Deputy Chief Steve Whitley said Sgt. Tom Wilsey will be out for a couple of days. “He’s sore as all get out, but otherwise OK,” Whitley said Tuesday.

Wilsey was responding as backup for an emergency call around 8 a.m. Monday on Statesville Boulevard. Whitley said the first police car stopped at the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Statesville Boulevard and then went through against the light.

Wilsey, who was immediately behind, also stopped and then proceeded through and was struck by a vehicle, which spun the patrol car into a third vehicle. Both patrol vehicles were running blue lights and sirens. A complete report on the accident was not available.

Cats, dogs always available for adoption The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home. Kittens, kittens and more kittens. It’s that time of the year again and the shelter is being overwhelmed with people turning in cats and kittens. Sizes, ages and colors vary, so come by the shelter and take your pick. He maybe a little older and a bit worn around the edges, but it all adds to his charming appeal. This handsome Irish setter came to the shelter as a stray and provides plenty of entertainment to the shelter staff as they watch him play with his rubber mallard duck. From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all. Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office. Before adopting any animal, individuals must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isn’t already vaccinated for rabies, the person

To learn more about adopting a pet, call the shelter at 704-216-7768 or visit the shelter at 1465 Julian Road, Salisbury. You can also visit the shelter’s website at www.co.rowan.nc .us/animalshelter/.

rent and utilities. “If we allowed for a deduction would you fit?” Spears said. Anyone whose income is more than 130 percent of the federal poverty level, but under 200 percent of the federal poverty level or $3,675 for a family of four and has been provided information about a social services program, like Work First, may qualify for benefits. This allows some households who would otherwise be denied benefits to qualify. However, not all households whose income is over 130 percent of the FPL but under 200 percent of the FPL will qualify. For instance, a family of four with an income of $2,600 per month, $1,000 in rent and is responsible for utilities, who is not categorically eligible under the current policy would be denied because the $2,600 exceeds the 130 percent FPL or $2,389 limit. A case worker cannot include deductions for rent and utilities under the current policy so without these deductions used in the budget, the household is over the income limit and would be denied. Under the new policy, the same family of four whose income is $2,600 is categorically eligible because the income is over 130 percent of the FPL or $2,389, but is un-

der 200 percent of the FPL or $3,675. Now a case worker can apply deductions for rent and utilities then the household would qualify for $200 in benefits. Under the new policy, the same family of four with an income of $3,200, would still meet categorically eligible criteria can have deductions applied because they bring in more than the 130 percent FPL of $2,389, but less than the 200 percent FPL of $3,675. The difference is this household would not qualify because deductions are limited. The amount the program allows for deductions for shelter and utilities is capped and no matter how high the income or how much the rent and utilities are each month the deductions have a limit. There is an exception, if the household has a family member who is disabled or over 60. A household that contains a person over 60 or a disabled individual may have different eligibility requirements. There are automatic denials for benefits including falsifying information, failing to comply with work requirements and a felony drug conviction. “If the income is between the 130 and 200 percent of the federal poverty level, we can now go to the next step.

to close and then pulled his pickup alongside Jordan’s SUV and opened fire with a .45-caliber Glock. Whitley said Jordan and Lambert have a history of “bad blood,” and the incident at Benchwarmers apparently triggered the shooting. Whitley said police aren’t exactly sure of what happened inside the bar. An off-duty police officer was working outside the bar.

Several people commenting anonymously on the Post website have offered their versions of what happened in the bar. Whitley said police would like to talk to people who were there and saw what happened. He asks anyone who witnessed the dispute between Lambert and Jordan and his friends to call Detective Russ DeSantis at 704-638-2126.

dation,” he said. “When they learn that, it carries them a long way.” Johnson has been in business for about six months. Dwon Chalk, owner of Chalkline Barber Shop, North Salisbury Avenue, Spencer, didn’t hesitate to offer his services. “I think it’s a beautiful thing. It’s an honor to do this work,” he said. Chalk said he thinks others should look for ways to give back to the community. Chalk, who has been in the business for about a year, also gives free haircuts to homeless men who are preparing for job interviews. He works with the homeless shelter, which provides vouchers and connects him with the men.

Mitchell is thankful to all of the barber shops that participated. The Rev. Timothy Bates, Mitchell’s friend, said giving the boys free haircuts Tuesday was a positive step for the community as well as for parents working hard just to make ends meet. “I go to my barber for a specific reason, he speaks into my life. Some of them have never had their hair cut. It’s a good thing to sit among positive black men,” Bates said. Mitchell said he is grateful to Stephanie Mitchell, Tina Wallace and Elaine Sapp, who helped make and distribute flyers. The Rev. Thomas Lee is pastor of the church.

DISABILITIES & DEVASTATION

Still battling Agent Orange hirty-five years after the the Vietnam War ended, Agent Orange continues to haunt the United States — proof that withdrawal from a war zone does not halt its impact. The lingering effects of Agent Orange are as nearby as the homes of local veterans and hospital rooms of the Hefner VA Medical Center, and as far away as the villages of South Vietnam. The U.S. military set off a chain reaction of problems when it dumped some 20 million gallons of Agent Orange and other herbicides on large swaths of South Vietnam between 1962 and 1971. The goal was to kill the Communist forces’ jungle hideouts. But as Agent Orange wiped out some 5 million acres of forest, it also penetrated people’s skin and seeped into the ground. This spring the Department of Veterans Affairs proposed new rules that expand the conditions it associates with exposure to Agent Orange to include ischemic heart disease, Parkinson’s disease and chronic B-cell blood cancers. That brings the list to 14 ailments. The VA says the rule change will give more than 100,000 veterans an easier path to disability pay, including retroactive pay. Surviving spouses and estates will also be eligible for retroactive benefits. The projected cost of the expansion of claims is $13.6 billion this fiscal year and $42.2 billion over 10 years. The people of Vietnam also continue to suffer problems related to Agent Orange. A joint panel of experts from the United States and Vietnam is urging the U.S. government and others to provide some $30 million annually over 10 years to clean up sites contaminated with dioxin, a toxic chemical used in the defoliant, and to treat people disabled by contact with it. They are legion. The Vietnam Red Cross estimates up to 3 million Vietnamese children and adults have suffered the effects of Agent Orange exposure. Dioxin, which is slow to degrade, has made its way into the water supply, where it attaches to the fat of fish and ducks that humans then eat. The United Nations has already launched a $5 million cleanup of Agent Orange contamination at Bien Hoa, a former military air base in Vietnam and one of three places where U.S. forces mixed, stored and loaded Agent Orange onto planes The costs of wars go on long after the last shot is fired.Veterans Affairs received more than 1 million disability claims last year, a new record for a single year and a huge jump from the 579,000 claims submitted in 2000. Two wars and an aging veteran population are taking their toll — on the federal budget and, more important, on the service men and women we send in harm’s way. War is hell. For many, so is its aftermath.

In its recent report, “Fields of Peril: Child Labor in U.S. Agriculture,” Human Rights Watch shows that the United States is not protecting hundreds of thousands of children who work in agriculture. Agriculture is the most dangerous work open to BILL MAXWELL children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Children risk pesticide poisoning, serious injury and heat illness, and they suffer fatalities at more than four times the rate of children in other jobs. Some work without even the most basic protective gear, such as shoes or gloves. “Fields of Peril” found that children as young as 12 regularly toil for 10 or more hours a day, five to seven days a week. Many children start working part time at age 6 or 7. Like many adult farm workers, kids typically earn well below minimum wage, and their pay is often further slashed because their bosses underreport hours and require them to buy drinking water their employers should provide by law. Now, for the first time, many advocates nationwide are hopeful that the plight of farm worker children will substantially improve. The Obama administration, led by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, the daughter of an immigrant field hand, has stepped up enforcement against growers who hire children and cheat workers out of their wages. Solis’ move is well timed because Congress is looking at revising the 1938 Fair

Labor Standards Act that exempts agriculture from treating children fairly. Currently, the act permits 12-year-olds to work limitless hours on commercial farms during the summer and outside of school hours the rest of the year. The Obama administration was encouraged in its enforcement effort last fall when U.S. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, a California Democrat, introduced the Children’s Act for Responsible Employment, or CARE Act, in the House. The bill has more than 80 co-sponsors and the support of nearly 100 organizations. Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin said he will introduce a similar bill in the Senate. “Farm worker children often work long hours, use hazardous farm equipment, earn subminimum wages, and are continually exposed to hazardous pesticides,” Roybal-Allard said in a prepared statement. “Our farm worker children deserve the same protections given to children in other industries; if they are too young they should not be working, and if they are working, they deserve protection from long hours and unsafe work practices. “Tragically absent from our nation’s classrooms each school year are thousands of children who, instead of going to school, will be working in the fields and orchards of our country. Studies show that an alarming 50 percent of youth who regularly perform farm work drop out of school. All children in our country deserve the benefits of an education. The CARE Act will help farm worker children receive valuable educational opportunities proven to be an essential pathway to a better life.” While education opportunities and hour and age protections are crucial, the bill addresses other problems: • It increases the maximum civil monetary penalties for employers who violate child labor laws from $11,000 to $15,000. It raises the maximum penalty to $100,000 and imposes a criminal penalty of up to five years’ imprisonment for in-

tentional or repeat violations that lead to the death or serious injury of a child worker. • It provides children with greater protections by raising the labor standards for pesticide exposure to the levels currently enforced by the EPA in all other industries. • It requires data gathering on workrelated injuries, illness and deaths of children under age 18 in agriculture, as well as an annual report by the secretary of Labor on child labor nationwide. As I stated earlier, many labor advocates welcome the CARE Act and the Obama administration’s enforcement campaign. But we should not ignore the serious downside to it all. In an e-mail message, Lucas Benitez, a founder and a leader of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, one of the nation’s most effective farm worker organizations, highlighted the negative impact of the new enforcement: “We are very pleased that the Department of Labor has made farm labor in general a priority, and their focus on eliminating child labor in the fields is a welcome one. However, at the same time, child labor is a much deeper problem with its roots in the sub-poverty wages that the parents of these children suffer while working in the fields. “That poverty obliges children to help their parents by contributing to family income sometimes beginning at a very young age. As long as wages don’t improve and the agricultural industry doesn’t offer their workers the benefits and opportunities offered by other industries, child labor in the fields will continue to be a sad reality.” Benitez is right. The plight of farm worker children will not improve substantially until the plight of their parents improves substantially. From top to bottom, the problem is systemic. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

A senator to the end Scripps Howard News Service

f ever an individual was inseparably identified with an institution, it was Robert C. Byrd and the U.S. Senate. Indeed, he wrote a four-volume history of the Senate and was a master of its arcane rules and procedures, which made him a dangerous legislator to cross. He held almost every position in that body worth having, including majority leader, minority leader and president pro tem, which made him third in line for the presidency. West Virginia first elected Byrd to the Senate in 1958 and did for BYRD the last time in 2006; even though he was infirm and beginning to ail physically, the state easily reelected him to a record ninth term. He was the chamber’s longest-serving member when he died Monday at 92. Byrd was a jealous and prickly guardian of Senate prerogatives and quick to denounce what he saw as executive-branch attempts to encroach upon them. A principal reason he opposed the Iraq War was that it usurped the power of the legislature to declare war. Byrd was a grandiloquent speaker, his oratorical style more of the 19th century than the 20th, let alone the 21st. He would invoke the Greek and Roman classics, the Founding Fathers and the authors, like Thoreau, from the American canon. If his oratory was lofty, as a practical politician he was not. When he stepped down as Senate Democratic leader, Byrd moved into the chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee, the panel that disburses the federal budget. Byrd disbursed large chunks of that budget to West Virginia, in 1989 becoming the first legislator to exceed $1 billion in earmarks. Highways and government buildings in West Virginia that were not named after Robert C. Byrd seem more the exception than the rule. Budget-watchdog groups labeled him the “Prince of Pork” and “Porker of the Year.” Byrd regarded them as accolades. The two low points of his career were his membership in the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s and his attempt to kill by filibuster the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He came to deeply regret both episodes and regularly apologized for them. In one of the last of the more than 18,600 votes he cast as a senator, Byrd was brought to the floor in a wheelchair to vote aye on health-care reform. It is said of some venerable lawmakers that they are “a man of the Senate.” Byrd truly was.

TO THE

Government taxation a form of involuntary servitude? I remember the good old days. We would lament that in order to pay our taxes, both federal and state, the first five months of income was required to pay our annual taxes. Of course we pay taxes all year long, but by the end of the year if you added it up, the first five months income was devoured by government in taxation. Boy, have things changed. Government since our founding has traditionally never spent more than about 4 per cent of the gross national product except in time of war. I’m not sure, but I believe it is closer to 40 percent of GNP today and rising. In the early years of our country, slaves were brought to America and sold to plantation owners. Now this is very wrong, we feel today, but slavery was an accepted practice in those days. Many people in our early years were against slavery. For others it was cheap labor to bring in the cotton that was sold and transported to other countries. Slavery cost many lives in a war that could have permanently divided this new nation. My point in all of this is simply this; everything the slave did in way of production was taken from him. At the end of the year, he was no better off than he was at the beginning of the year. This was his life. Today, we are slaves only for the first five months of our labor in which government legally takes from us in taxes. Pray that we don’t end up being indentured slaves for the other seven months. There is a difference between legal actions and moral actions. Governments can make almost anything legal, but is it moral to take away your earnings and give it to someone else? — Richard Roberts Kannapolis

Elizabeth Edwards says it was not easy to leave her husband RALEIGH (AP) — Elizabeth Edwards says it was not easy to leave her husband in the wake of the two-time presidential contender’s infidelity, writing in a new chapter to her memoir that she still sees in him the memories of their 30 years together. Edwards says in the updated version of her book released Tuesday that she spent two years trying to “reinvent” her role as a wife so that they could stay together despite the affair. But she says the “tender thread” holding the family together unraveled at the very end of 2009 — three years after John Edwards first told his wife in private that he’d had a one-night stand with a videographer. “One day, I did not want to try anymore,” she said. The couple has since separated and he acknowledged fathering a child with mistress Rielle Hunter during his 2008 campaign for the White House. The 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee also acknowledged a federal investigation into his campaign funds, with former campaign aide Andrew Young saying a grand jury asked questions

Elizabeth Edwards says in her book “Resilience” that it was not easy to leave the marriage because she saw 30 years of memories in him. They were law school sweethearts who got married just days after they took the bar exam together in the summer of 1977. They had four children together, including a son who died at the age of 16.

“So when I closed the door on the John of today, I also had to say good-bye to that sweet man whom I had loved for so long,” Edwards writes. “It was not as easy as it might have seemed to anyone looking in from the outside, who knew only the John of today.” Elizabeth Edwards is battling cancer and says she hopes to live another eight years — long enough to see her youngest child graduate high school.

Judge orders release of ex-NC lottery official RALEIGH (AP) — A judge on Tuesday ordered a former North Carolina lottery commissioner convicted of five counts of the honest services law released from a Georgia prison. U.S. District Judge James Dever III said Kevin Geddings should be set free as he seeks to have his 2006 conviction vacated. The decision came just hours after prosecutors said Geddings should be released. Geddings was found guilty of honest services mail fraud for not disclosing his financial ties to a company that was expected to bid for North Carolina’s lottery business. In May 2007, he was sentenced to four years in federal prison. The U.S. Supreme Court last week

struck down parts of that law. It ruled that criminal convictions are only valid in cases if bribes or kickbacks are involved, and not merely conflicts of interest. “We are gratified, first of all, that the Supreme Court has decided we were right all along about that what Mr. Geddings did is not honest services mail fraud,” Geddings’ attorney’ Jonathan Edelstein said. “We are gratified that the government has agreed that he’d entitled to release. We are gratified that the court has acted so quickly in directing him to be released, and I intend to waste no time, once he is out of prison, filing a motion to vacate his conviction and to dis-

miss the charges once and for all,” Edelstein said. Prosecutors revisited Geddings’ conviction following last week’s Supreme Court decision. The law does not cover Geddings’ dealings, prosecutors said. “Thus, the Government concedes that Geddings is entitled to have his conviction vacated,” they wrote in a court filing. Geddings, a former lottery commissioner, is at a federal prison in Jesup, Ga. He has a December release date, although he is scheduled to move to a halfway house in September. A spokeswoman at the U.S. attorney’s office in Raleigh declined comment.

Arrests rise to 11 as Russia criticizes spy stories NEW YORK (AP) — A shadowy money man for a Russian spy ring whose members were assigned a decade or more ago to infiltrate American society was captured overseas, authorities said Tuesday, becoming the last of 11 arrests made over three days in one of the largest such busts in recent years. Russian officials angrily denounced the arrests as “Cold War-era spy stories,” but officials there and at the White House insisted they would do little or nothing to tear recently mending relations between the two nations. The FBI moved on the bust because one of the suspects was scheduled to leave the country, the Justice Department said. The last suspect, using the name Christopher Metsos and purporting to be a Canadian citizen, was arrested at the Larnaca airport in Cyprus while trying to fly to Budapest, Hungary, police in the Mediterranean island nation said. He was later released on bail. Metsos, 54, was among those named in complaints unsealed Monday in federal court in Manhattan. Authorities in Cyprus said he will remain there for one month until extradition proceedings begin.

Pelicans ﬂy near a tiger dam built on a beach in Grand Isle, La. on Tuesday. As outer bands from Tropical Storm Alex approach Louisiana, the dam is expected to protect the island’s beaches from oil that washes ashore from April’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico. ment at the end of this year after which undoubtedly we’ll make certain tweaks, refinements, perhaps some significant changes,” Petraeus told a Senate panel Tuesday of the battle plan and the timeline Obama has laid out. The Senate Armed Services Committee quickly approved Petraeus for the job of running the Afghan war, and the full Senate could act as early as Tuesday evening. Obama nominated Petraeus to take over from the disgraced Gen. Stanley McChrystal, fired last week for disparaging remarks about his civilian bosses. Petraeus also told senators that he may change the war’s battlefield rules, designed to limit civilian casualties and improve support for the foreign forces fighting the Taliban-led insurgency. Some troops and congressional Republicans complain they handicap U.S. forces. Obama has said troops will begin to leave in July 2011, but that the pace and size of the withdrawal will depend upon conditions.

As storms rattle across Gulf, crews become spectators GRAND ISLE, La. (AP) — The crashing waves and gusting winds churned up by Tropical Storm Alex put the Gulf oil spill largely in Mother Nature’s hands Tuesday. Regardless of whether the storm makes things worse or better, it has turned many people fighting the spill into spectators. Oil-scooping ships in the Gulf of Mexico steamed to safe refuge because of the rough seas, which likely will last for days. Officials scrambled to reposition boom to protect the coast, and had to remove barges that had been blocking oil from reaching sensitive wetlands. Alex is projected to stay far from the spill zone and is not expected to affect recovery efforts at the site of the blown offshore well that continues to spew crude, but the storm’s outer edges were causing problems. Waves were as high as 12 feet in parts of the Gulf, according to the National Weather Service. In at least one area of coastal Louisiana, the waves were tossing oil-soaking boom around and forcing crews to take precious time putting it back in place. However, oily water was not yet crashing over it. U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Dave French said all skimming efforts had been halted for now off the Louisiana coast. Wayne Hebert, who helps manage skimming operations for BP PLC, said all nearshore skimmers were idled off the coasts of Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.

Years of challenges ahead on gun control after Sup. Court ruling WASHINGTON (AP) — State or local gun laws that prohibit people from carrying firearms outside the home and onerous registration requirements are the most likely to be struck down by judges following the Supreme Court’s latest decision supporting the right to keep and bear arms. An explosion of cases will keep courts busy for years defining gun control’s new limits now that the high court has ruled that wherever they live, Americans have a right

to possess guns, at least for self-defense in the home. Justice Samuel Alito, author of the majority opinion Monday, dismissed “doomsday proclamations” that all gun laws would be struck down. Alito essentially repeated the formulation used by Justice Antonin Scalia two years ago that the court was not calling into question “long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons or the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings.” But the justices left a lot of ground for other courts to cover in determining the constitutional limits on gun laws. Legal challenges already are pending against several state and big-city gun laws. Among other laws already facing lawsuits or expected to be challenged:

Courts request $40M to help carry out border enforcement PHOENIX (AP) — President Barack Obama’s $600 million border security plan seems to have it all: More than 1,000 agents, seven gunrunner teams, five FBI task forces and more prosecutors and immigration judges. But it doesn’t include $40 million to help the already overwhelmed federal courts along the U.S.-Mexico border that will likely be inundated with additional drug and other criminal cases, a judiciary official tells The Associated Press. Increased patrols will mean more arrests and more cases sent to the five district courts on the border, from California to Texas. The courts handle cases including drug trafficking, smuggling and illegal immigrants charged with other serious crimes. “The current workload in our Southwest border courts is staggering,” said James Duff, director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts. Duff said the judiciary asked Congress for the $40 million on June 22 after realizing it wasn’t sent with Obama’s plan. He said judiciary requests are usually included with the president’s budget proposals, but wasn’t in this case.

Chicago moves quickly to draft new gun ordinance CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Richard Daley will push for a strict handgun ordinance to replace its doomed gun ban that will likely include limiting each resident to a single handgun and prohibiting gun stores from setting up shop in the city. That’s according to Daley’s top lawyer, Corporation Counsel Mara Georges. She spoke to a City Council committee on Tuesday about plans to purpose the new ordinance. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Americans have a right to own a gun for self-defense anywhere they live — a ruling that certainly means the end of Chicago’s 28-year-old gun ban. But one gun rights supporter says many of the city’s suggestions all but assure a legal battle, calling them “preposterous” and a violation of gun owners’ civil rights.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan clashed Tuesday with a Republican senator over the limits she ordered on military recruiters while dean of Harvard Law School, repeatedly denying she blocked them as she sought to deflect foes’ efforts to slow her apparently smooth road to confirmation. Despite a testy exchange with the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Barack Obama’s nominee soldiered through her second day of public testimony on Capitol Hill apparently in good shape to win Senate approval — barring a major gaffe — in time to take her seat before the court opens a new term in October. If confirmed, Kagan, 50, would succeed retiring Justice John Paul Stevens Republican foes weren’t giving up quietly. Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said he emerged from the long day of questioning more “troubled” about Kagan’s nomination than he had been previously. During his sometimes heated back-and-forth with Kagan, Sessions said her decision to bar recruiters from the law school’s career services office over the Pentagon’s prohibition on openly gay soldiers was “punishing” the military at Harvard, treating them in a “secondclass way” and creating a hostile environment for the military on campus. Kagan said she was trying to balance Harvard’s nondiscrimination policy, which she believed “don’t ask, don’t tell” violated, with a federal law that required schools to give military recruiters equal access as a condition of eligibility for federal funds. She said she welcomed the military, and believed her policy of requiring recruiters to work through a student veterans group — first set by a predecessor — was a valid compromise. “We were trying to make sure that military recruiters had full and complete access to our students, but we were also trying to protect our own antidiscrimination policy and to protect the students whom it is ... supposed to protect, which in this case were our gay and lesbian students,” Kagan said.

Legion champs Win over Wilkes gives South title BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

Bret Strelow/sALisBUrY post

Jesse park pitched seven innings of shutout ball against Wilkes to help south rowan wrap up the southern division title.

WILKESBORO — South R o w a n S. Rowan 12 p i t c h e r Wilkes 0 Jesse Park meandered away from the mound with a nervous look after recording a strikeout that capped a 12-0 win over Wilkes County. Infielders and outfielders charged in from behind while reserves rushed out of the visiting dugout. Park bounced around like Barry Sanders in his prime. “They were going to tackle me,” Park said, “and I didn’t want them to do that.” Park’s four-hitter in a seven-inning contest Tuesday helped South’s American Legion team finish atop its division for the first time. Firstyear coach Michael Lowman’s team, despite Weston Smith’s willingness to be crushed at the bottom of a dogpile, celebrated quietly after a victory that clinched the top seed in the Southern Division of Area III. The biggest smile probably belonged to spectator Nancy Jean Storie, who was on the original committee that worked to establish a separate Legion program for South players in 1996. South went 519 in its first season and dipped to 3-19 in 1999. “It’s just wonderful,” Storie said. “I’m so proud of Michael for bringing us to this point.” Lowman was a standout player for rival and traditional power Rowan County, which tied Mooresville for second place in the division.

Pack ready to surge RALEIGH — Sidney Lowe knows that North Carolina State fans are already eager to see the Wolfpack return to the court with a mix of veterans and fresh talent. The coach also knows those same fans won’t be very patient if things go wrong. “I like the fact our fans are excited,” Lowe said Tuesday during his annual summer news conference. “I’ve been wanting them to be excited and I know they’re saying, ’We’ve been wanting to be excited as well.’ I think it’s a good marriage right there. ... This is the way it’s supposed to be.” Preseason practices are four months away in what could be the decisive months of Lowe’s tenure with the program he helped lead to a national championship as a player. Fans have sat through four seasons of a few ups and many more downs while Lowe wrestled with getting the program back to the NCAA tournament — a place it had been five straight years before Lowe’s arrival. Getting there could be the first sign that Lowe really does have some staying power in Raleigh. Falling short could leave Lowe without a job. Yet Lowe sounds like he feels more excitement than pressure when asked about the coming season. “I’m certainly excited about the possibilities,” Lowe said. “Pressure, we put on ourselves anyway. I think certainly the expectations are higher here, but we still just have to go out and approach it the same way. It’s not like we’re going to say, ’OK, we’re going to work harder now.”’ Lowe is at least well-positioned for a possible make-or-break sea-

coach Ray Tanner said. “I’ve never been in this situation. I know one thing, I’m extremely proud of these guys and my coaches. It’s unbelievable. “I’m off the ground right now.” It was the fifth championship decided in an extra-inning final, and first since Southern California topped Florida State — also 2-1 — in 15 innings in 1970.

CLEVELAND— As he dressed in his spacious corner locker, LeBron James glanced over at the news scrolling across the flatscreen TV on the far wall. The ticker read: “NBA: Kobe Bryant signs three-year contract extension with Los Angeles Lakers.” Buttoning his shirt following the game in April, roughly one month before his quest for a championship would end awkwardly and two months before becoming The Free Agent Of All Free Agents, James wasn’t a bit surprised. “Did anyone really think he was leaving?” he asked incredulously. “Kobe’s been there since he was like 17. That’s his home. He wasn’t going anywhere.” Hmm. Sound like someone you know, ’Bron? The league’s MVP grinned and bit his top lip. JAMES Not saying. Soon enough, we’ll have his answer. At the heart of James’ impending free agency, a moment of controlled chaos hyped beyond anything in recent sports memory, is one underlying question: Can he move away from the only place he has ever known? James hits the market at 12:01 a.m. Thursday as the valedictorian of this historic 2010 free-agent class. He might have already decided where he’ll dribble, drive and dunk next. Even if he has, he’s still going to listen to offers and can’t sign with anyone until July 8. Depending on whom you believe, the soonto-be No. 6 is either headed to New York to resurrect the sorry Knicks; or to New Jersey to plot global domination with rap mogul pal Jay-Z and Russian billionaire owner

CHAPEL HILL — The second Duke-North Carolina men’s basketball game of the upcoming season is headed to prime time. Officials with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Duke said Tuesday that the Blue Devils’ visit to Chapel Hill will be televised by CBS, marking the first time that the fierce rivalry will air in prime time on one of the over-the-air networks. The game will start at 8 p.m. on March 5, 2011. Duke won both meetings last season and went on to claim its fourth national championship. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski calls it an honor for the Duke-North Carolina game to be placed on that stage and says “hopefully the game will live up to that level of expectation.”

South (20-4, 15-3) claimed sole possession of first place after Mooresville suffered a 12-inning loss to Concord on Monday night. South scored two runs in each of the first two innings against fifth-place Wilkes (9-9) and put up six more in the third. Blake Houston and Joseph Basinger added solo homers in support of Park. “I think the first time might always be the hardest,” Lowman said. “We’re not like Rowan where we just keep tacking them on. This is something we’ve waited a long time for. The kids worked hard for it. They earned it, and we got a little help from Concord. We still had to go on the road and win.”

Bol: a giant off the court WASHINGTON (AP) — The body of Manute Bol lay in an 8-foot-long, specially built casket in the vast splendor of the ornate Washington National Cathedral. There couldn’t have been a more appropriate setting for a man who seemed larger than life in so many ways. The 7-foot-7 former NBA player who worked diligently to improve conditions in his native Sudan was remembered as a shot-blocker to be feared and a humanitarian to be loved at a funeral service Tuesday. “Wow. That guy is tall. He’s a giant,” said former NBA player and league vice president of player development Rory Sparrow, reciting his first impressions upon meeting Bol. “And little did I know how true that statement was. Because not only was he an intimidating force on the court, someone to reckoned with in the game ... but he was also a giant off the court. And he had a heart that was also very large and full of compas-

sion for his fellow man.” Bol died June 19 at age 47 at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville, shortly after returning from a lengthy trip to Sudan. He had contracted a painful skin condition known as Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and was suffering from severe kidney problems, but he put off needed medical care and delayed his return trip to his Kansas home so that he could assist with elections in southern Sudan and continue with the project that most stoked his passion — building schools. “I can’t think of a person in the world who used their celebrity status for a greater good than what Manute Bol did,” Republican Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas told the mourners. “He used it for his people. He gave his life for his people.” Bol relied on his shot-blocking ability to stay in the NBA for 10 seasons with Washington, Golden State, Philadelphia and Miami.

SPORTS DIGEST

Jeff Gordon: ‘I’m going to ruffle some feathers’ NEW YORK — Good guy Jeff Gordon was on display Tuesday. An audience at a swanky Manhattan restaurant was told of his charitable endeavors before a smoothtalking Gordon spoke about his family and the need to protect babies’ health. His squeaky-clean image hasn’t held up so well on the track in recent weeks. Seemingly half the drivers

are irked at him for one incident or another. “I’m going to ruffle some feathers and make some mistakes,” Gordon said. The four-time champion insisted that when he does err, he’ll admit it and apologize. Gordon had said he was sorry after spinning Martin Truex Jr. at Sonoma on June 20. Truex was running inside the top 10 before Gordon caused him to drop back into traffic, where he was

caught in a multi-car accident. Gordon hasn’t been as contrite after some other dustups he clearly views differently. He also angered Elliott Sadler, Kurt Busch and Greg Biffle at Sonoma. Last weekend at New Hampshire, he got caught up with Juan Pablo Montoya, who fell back and was plowed by Reed Sorenson. Montoya accused Gordon of not giving him any room. “I’ve never been buddies or

friends with everyone on the track,” Gordon said. “But I also don’t create enemies.” Gordon said that from double-file restarts to the competition to make the Chase, cars are racing closer and drivers are pushing limits. He suggested he’ll vary his aggressiveness depending on other drivers’ styles, saying “some guys push it further than other guys.” And he’ll drive differently early in a race than late. “When the race is winding down,

No all-Williams final at Wimbledon Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — There will be no allWilliams final at Wimbledon this year. Defending champion Serena has a good chance of playing for her fourth title on Saturday, but big sister and five-time winner Venus will be a spectator this time. Venus was ousted in the quarterfinals Tuesday, losing 6-2, 6-3 to 82nd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria. Venus, seeded second, had reached the Wimbledon final in eight of the past 10 years. This time, she was undone by a slew of unforced errors and double-faults in her worst loss at Wimbledon in terms of games won — five. In another surprise, 21stseeded Vera Zvonareva of Russia rallied past two-time U.S. Open winner Kim Clijsters 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 to reach her first Wimbledon semifinal, where she will face Pironkova. Serena Williams avoided the wave of upsets, beating China’s Li Na 7-5, 6-3 and moving closer to her 13th Grand Slam championship. The top-seeded Serena had 11 aces to take her tournament total to 73, breaking the record of 72 she set last year. She had 21 winners

and just six unforced errors. “I always serve well at Wimbledon, but this is the first time I’ve ever served this well so consistently,” Serena said. Her semifinal opponent is 62nd-ranked Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, who saved five match points before beating Estonian qualifier Kaia Kanepi 4-6, 7-6 (8), 8-6. “I’m very happy,” said the 20-year-old Kvitova, her voice shaking. “I can’t believe it. It’s something incredible.” It’s the first time two unseeded players have reached the women’s semifinals at Wimbledon since 1999. The Williams sisters have

played each other in four Wimbledon finals, with Serena winning for the third time last year. With Venus out, Wimbledon is guaranteed at least one first-time Grand Slam finalist among the three other contenders. With all the other big names gone, Serena Williams is the overwhelming favorite for the title. “It’s not mine to lose, it’s mine to win if I can get it,” she said. “There’s three other people that are vying to win it. They have just as good a chance as I do.” Serena said she’s not surprised the left-handed Kvitova got this far. “She’s a really tough player, especially on grass,” she

said. Kvitova doesn’t give herself much of a chance. “She won here I don’t know how many times,” she said. “I lost against her in the Australian Open. It was very quick. I’m not favorite, so I can play just my game and just play and enjoy.” Venus never got going against the 22-year-old Pironkova, who is the lowest-ranked player remaining in the women’s draw and had never previously passed the second round in 18 previous Grand Slam appearances. “I just didn’t get enough balls in today,” said Williams. “I let it spiral and didn’t get any balls in. I had a lot of opportunities, a lot of short balls and I seemed to hit each one out. “If there was a shot to miss, I think I missed it. ... I didn’t bring my best tennis today.” Williams was clearly off her game, committing 29 unforced errors. She also hadn’t lost at a Grand Slam to a player outside the top 80 since that defeat in Australia to Pironkova, then ranked No. 143. “Honestly, I think no one expected me to play semifinal in Wimbledon and to beat Venus Williams like that,” said Pironkova, who denied Williams her 200th career Grand Slam match win.

there’s less chance to be the nice guy,” he said. CREW MEMBER SUSPENDED CHARLOTTE — NASCAR has suspended the gasman for AJ Allmendinger’s Sprint Cup team for violating the sport’s substance abuse policy. Richard Petty Motorsports says it in turn released Chris Moore from the organization. Moore was suspended indefinitely Tuesday by NASCAR.

More refs or replay needed NEW YORK — Soccer either needs more referees or instant replay, Landon Donovan told David Letterman on Tuesday night. The U.S. soccer star appeared on the “Late Show” on CBS after returning from the World Cup, where the Americans won their group for the first time in 80 years. The United States was twice the victim of the disputed calls that have plagued the tournament, as the team had goals disallowed. “It’s difficult because we know how fast the game is, and as a referee, you can’t see everything,” Donovan said. “So you either need more eyes on the field or you need some sort of instant replay.” Donovan said it’s frustrating “to put that much into something you’re doing, and then all of a sudden, it’s taken away from you.” Spain 1, Portugal 0 CAPE TOWN, South Africa — David Villa called it one of his best goals. He was talking about the timing but the effort was pretty nice, too. On a night when Portugal’s defense fought off attack after attack, the Spanish striker finally broke through in the 63rd minute, giving the European champs a 1-0 victory Tuesday and a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals. Spain plays Paraguay in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Paraguay 0, Japan 0 (Paraguay wins 5-3 in penalty kicks) PRETORIA, South Africa — Paraguay took the most difficult route to its first World Cup quarterfinals. After 120 exhausting minutes without scoring, the Paraguayans found their touch in penalty kicks, making all five to beat Japan.

TENNIS Former tennis star Jennifer Capriati was recovering Monday from an accidental overdose of prescribed medication, a family spokeswoman said. The 34-year-old Capriati, once ranked No. 1 in a career sidetracked by personal troubles, was in stable condition and expected to make a full recovery, spokeswoman Lacey Wickline told The Associated Press. She declined to identify the medication. At Wimbledon, Venus and Serena Williams paused after wins Monday to extend their concern. “I probably will definitely see how that goes and pray for everyone involved,” Serena Williams said. “If there’s any way I can do anything to help, reach out, I definitely will do that.” Added Venus Williams: “I remember her match against Monica (Seles) in the semifinals of the (French) Open. I remember watching that and just thinking how great that tennis was. So definitely a lot of fond memories just watching her growing up, and obviously even playing against her, re-

specting her game so much.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — University of Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn says he hopes to know within a month how much it’s going to cost the school to bolt the Big 12 for the Pac-10. Lawyers for both conferences and the university are in discussions on an exit strategy for CU, which announced earlier this month it was switching leagues in 2012. The Buffaloes would prefer to leave after next season like the University of Nebraska, which is joining the Big Ten in 2011. • TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — A statue of Alabama football coach Nick Saban might not be ready in time for the Sept. 4 season opener against San Jose State.

NHL DALLAS — If Mike Modano plays a 21st season in the NHL, it won’t be with the Dallas Stars. The face of the franchise that proved hockey could thrive in the South will not be offered a contract by the Stars when free agency opens Thursday. That difficult decision had to be made by Modano’s teammateturned-boss, Stars general manager Joe Nieuwendyk. Now the NHL’s highest-scoring U.S.-born player must decide whether to put on something other than a Stars sweater for the first time. “I’m leaning toward playing,” Modano told The Associated Press after the Stars made their announcement Tuesday. “It certainly depends where and what teams are interested.” • MONTREAL — Sergei Kostitsyn’s tumultuous stint with the Montreal Canadiens ended when the forward was traded to the Nashville Predators.

LANCE ARMSTRONG Lance Armstrong has posted on his Twitter page this year’s Tour de France will be his last. “It’s been a great ride. Looking forward to 3 great weeks,” Armstrong tweeted Monday. A seven-time winner of cycling’s most prestigious race, the 38-year-old Armstrong returned to the Tour last year after a threeyear absence and finished third behind Astana teammate Alberto Contador of Spain. Armstrong started a new team for this year’s race. He won the race seven straight times from 1999-2005 before retiring. The Tour de France starts Saturday in Belgium.

SOFTBALL CARACAS, Venezuela — The United States defeated the Dominican Republic 101 on Monday to improve its record to 6-0 in group play at the world softball championships. Jennie Finch was the winning pitcher.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Hanley Ramirez hit a grand slam and Dan Uggla singled home the winning run in the ninth inning for his third RBI, giving Florida a 76 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night hours after the Marlins announced Edwin Rodriguez will remain their manager for the rest of the season. New York scored twice in the ninth off closer Leo Nunez (3-1), tying it at 6 on a single by pinch-hitter Josh Thole — his second hit this season. It was Nunez’s fourth blown save in 20 chances Pedro Feliciano (2-3) retired his first two batters in the bottom of the ninth, but Jorge Cantu doubled to right-center and Uggla hit a grounder up the middle. Cantu slid home safely, beating a strong throw by center fielder Jesus Feliciano, and Uggla was mobbed by excited teammates in the infield at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. Phillies 9, Reds 6, 10 innings Raul Ibanez ended Arthur Rhodes’ record-tying streak of scoreless innings with a run-scoring double in the 10th, rallying the Philadelphia Phillies past the Cincinnati Reds. Joey Votto’s three-run homer with two outs off Brad Lidge (1-0) tied it in the ninth. Rhodes (2-2) hadn’t allowed a run in his last 33 appearances, tying the major league season record. The left-hander gave up a leadoff double by Ryan Howard and walked Jayson Werth. Ibanez then doubled — the ball bounced off Drew Stubbs’ glove at the wall in center — for the first run allowed by Rhodes since April 10, starting the winning rally. Brewers 7, Astros 5 MILWAUKEE — Prince Fielder homered twice, and Yovani Gallardo homered and was good enough in six innings of work to earn the victory as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Houston Astros.

The Cubs won for the fourth time in 11 games and improved to 3-8 this season against the last-place Pirates. With unseasonably cool weather and the wind blowing in, Lilly (3-6) took advantage by getting a number of fly outs. He allowed one run and six hits and struck out five.

Phils hit hard by injuries CINCINNATI (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have lost half of their starting infield to injury. The Phillies put second baseman Chase Utley and third baseman Placido Polanco on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and sent them back to Philadelphia for exams to see how long they will be sidelined. Utley has a sprained right thumb. Polanco has a sore left elbow. Suddenly, the defending NL champions could be in the market for some help. “The main thing is we need to find out the length of Chase and Poly’s stay on the DL,” assistant general manager Scott Proefrock said. “At this point, we’re not sure.” Philadelphia is finishing June with seven players on the disabled list, including two key infielders. If Utley and Polanco are out for more than two weeks, the Phillies would be looking to trade. “I think we’re always looking to get better,” Proefrock said. “Now our focus may be a little different than it was.” Utley hurt his thumb while sliding into second base during the fourth inning of a 7-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night, when he was tagged out while trying to stretch a single. He stayed in the game until the ninth, when he left for a pinch hitter because the thumb was sore. An MRI on Tuesday wasn’t clear about the severity of the sprain. Utley headed back to Philadelphia to see a hand specialist and get more tests on Wednesday. Utley, who is batting .277 with 11 homers and 37 RBIs, met briefly with manager Charlie Manuel before heading home. It’s only the second time that the fourtime All-Star has been on the disabled list.

Red Sox 8, Rays 5 BOSTON — David Ortiz hit a three-run homer to break a fifth-inning tie, and Adrian Beltre had four hits for Boston. John Lackey (9-3) won his fifth straight decision, allowing one run and eight hits to give the Red Sox their 10th win in 13 games. With the Yankees’ loss to the Seattle Mariners, Boston moved within one game behind first-place New York in the AL East. Lackey and James Shields had dueling shutouts until the bottom of the fifth, when Ortiz homered with runners on second and third and two outs. Beltre singled and scored to make it 5-0 after six, then doubled and scored on Bill Hall’s homer that made it 8-1 after seven. Twins 11, Tigers 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Denard Span tied a modern-era record with three triples and had five RBIs to get Minnesota back into first place in the AL Central. Span also had a single and a

NEW YORK — Cliff Lee pitched his third straight complete game and the Seattle Mariners beat the New York Yankees 7-4 on Tuesday night. Lee (7-3) beat New York twice in last year’s World Series for the Philadelphia Phillies, including Game 1 at Yankee Stadium. He won the ballpark opener for Cleveland in April 2009. This time, the left-hander allowed two solo homers to Nick Swisher and his first walk in almost a month. The Yankees scored twice in the ninth. Jorge Posada’s walk in the second inning was Lee’s first since walking Nick Punto on June 2 — 144 batters and five starts ago. Rob Johnson hit a two-run double in the sixth and Ichiro Suzuki drove in two runs with an RBI single in the third and a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Franklin Gutierrez homered for Seattle.

walk for the Twins , who moved a half-game ahead of the Tigers one night after losing their division lead for the first time since early April. Span became the first player since Atlanta’s Rafael Furcal in 2002 to hit three triples in a game. The only other Twin to get three triples in a game was Ken Landreaux in 1980. Indians 5, Blue Jays 4 CLEVELAND — Fausto Carmona rebounded from his worst start of the season by pitching into the seventh inning for Cleveland. Carmona gave up four runs — three earned — and six hits over 61⁄3 innings to help the Indians to their first three-game winning streak since a fourgame run June 9-12. Cleveland followed that modest streak by losing 10 of 11 until winning Sunday in Cincinnati. Kerry Wood worked the ninth for his third save in three games and eighth in 11 chances overall.

Athletics 4, Orioles 2 BALTIMORE — Substitute starter Vin Mazzaro allowed three hits in six-plus innings and Kurt Suzuki had three RBIs as Oakland won its fourth straight. Coco Crisp had three hits, stole two bases and scored twice for the A’s, whose winning streak matches their season high. Since returning from the disabled list a week ago, Crisp is 10 for 22 (.455) with nine runs scored in six games. Cesar Izturis and Luke Scott had RBIs for the Orioles, whose season-high four-game winning streak ended. White Sox 4, Royals 3 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chicago’s Gavin Floyd pitched into the seventh inning to earn his first win in five weeks. Floyd (3-7) entered the game 0-4 in five career starts at Kauffman Stadium and 1-7 with a 5.53 ERA in 10 career starts against the Royals. He beat them for the first time since June 3, 2008.

SALISBURY POST

Tiger wants momentum Associated Press

NEWTON SQUARE, Pa. — The most obvious change at the AT&T National is moving to Aronimink Golf Club, a tree-lined classic in the Philadelphia suburbs that will host the tournament the next two years as Congressional prepares for a U.S. Open. Not so obvious is the role Tiger Woods is playing this week. He is still the defending champion. He is no longer the host. AT&T was the second corporate sponsor to end its endorsement deal with the world’s No. 1 player, although not entirely. It agreed to remain as title sponsor of the tournament, which Woods has hosted since it began in 2007.

It’s an awkward relationship. Woods no longer carries the AT&T logo on his golf bag, and he is not likely to return to AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. But he doesn’t look at this event any differently than when he was handing out the trophy. “I’ll still be part of the event and working hard behind the scenes as always,” Woods said. “This is a great event for our foundation. We’re very lucky and very excited that AT&T wanted to still be a part of this event.” The tournament stays. His endorsement ends. “If you’re going to have one over the other, you choose it this way,” Woods said. He also dismissed any notion that Woods and his caddie, Steve Williams, are at

TIGER WOODS odds. There was speculation in some corners after the U.S. Open that Woods was unhappy with his caddie when he said, “We made three mental mistakes. The only thing it cost us was a chance to win the U.S. Open.”

haps distracted when Evan Marzilli squared to bunt, let an inside 1-0 pitch get past him. Wingo moved to third when Marzilli got a bunt down, and scored when Merrifield drilled a 2-0 pitch by Dan Klein past the pulled-in outfield of the Bruins (51-17) and into right field. Matt Price (5-1) got the win, allowing one hit over 2 2-3 innings for the Gamecocks, who also went to the CWS finals in 1975, ’77 and 2002, but came up short. Klein (6-1) took the loss after working 3 1-3 innings for the Bruins (51-17). Each team had plenty of scoring chances but had difficulty converting in Rosenblatt’s finale before the event moves to a new downtown stadium next year. Price worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth, then allowed only one baserunner the rest of the way. South Carolina had runners in scoring position in four of the first six innings, including loading the bases in the second, but could push nothing across until the eighth.

LEBRON FROM 1B Mikhail Prokhorov; or to Chicago to follow Michael Jordan’s magnificence; or to Miami to join Olympic teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in a terrifying trifecta; or to Dallas where he could play with buddy Jason Kidd and watch his beloved Cowboys all the time. Or, he’ll stay in Ohio, kick back in the 40,000square-foot palace he built not far from the Akron streets where he was raised and continue to play for the Cavaliers. Right now, nobody knows. In a guessing game changing by the minute, one thing is certain: James’ decision will be made by one person — LeBron Raymone James. He has listened to his advisers, consulted with friends, former coaches, Nike bigwigs, gazillionaire Warren Buffett and others of influence. But James and only James will make the final choice before signing on the dotted line. What’s he going to do? “What’s best for him and his family,” teammate Shaquille O’ Neal said before the Cavs’ postseason

collapsed in a secondround loss to Boston. “He’s 25, but he’s something I’ve really never seen before.” There’s never been anyone like him — or anything like this. Never before has one player carried such clout into free agency. Despite never winning a championship — or even one game in the finals — James has the league bowing at his expensive sneakers. The anticipation of his leaguetilting decision has caused an information feeding frenzy only rivaled by Tiger Woods’ sex scandal. Teams have revamped their rosters for him, with Chicago and Miami doing the most maneuvering. Cities have spent big bucks campaigning for him, calculating the economic impact of his arrival, or in Cleveland’s case, a possible departure. Corporate jets will descend upon Northeast Ohio in the coming days, loaded with teams hoping to lure James away. The Nets’ delegation led by Prokhorov, Jay-Z, new coach Avery Johnson and outgoing president Rod Thorn will make their sales pitch first, followed by the Knicks and at least four other teams. Everyone wants him. All that matters, though, is what James wants.

— but that they will have the luxury of filling supporting roles as opposed to trying to be leaders on a group that showed promise in its late-season push that reached the ACC tournament semifinals followed by the NIT. “I know it’s not going to be a problem as far as chemistry is concerned,” Lowe said. “These (freshmen), I’ve had a chance to recruit these guys and watch these guys and get to know them when they were younger. I know their character. They’ll come in and fit right in with the guys we have.”

Pinch-hitter Brady Thomas reached on a sharply hit ball up the middle to start the inning, chasing reliever Erik Goeddel. Klein came on, and pinch-runner Robert Beary moved to second on Kyle Enders’ grounder. Klein tried to trick Beary with a fake pickoff to second, with second baseman Cody Regis acting as if he were giving chase to a bad throw into center field. Beary wasn’t fooled, but South Carolina fans didn’t appreciate the shenanigans and booed loudly. They were cheering moments later when Haney hit a chopper to the right side. The ball glanced off UCLA first baseman Dean Espy’s glove, and Regis tried to grab it with his bare hand. But Regis couldn’t get it, and Beary rounded third for home as the ball trickled into right field. The Bruins loaded the bases in the top of the ninth against Price. Chris Giovinazzo reached on his chopper to third when Adrian Morales’ throw pulled first baseman Christian Walker off the bag, and Walker was late with the sweep tag. Trevor Brown blooped one into center, and Price walked Rodriguez, the No. 9 batter, on four pitches. But Price struck out Niko Gallego to get out of trouble.

Head injuries could kill NFL BY RON COOK Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Many people are worried about an NFL lockout in 2011 and the long-range impact it might have on professional football. Will it leave the sport without a salary cap? Will it turn football into baseball? Heaven forbid, will it turn the Steelers into the Pirates? Legitimate concerns. But it might be missing the big picture. It’s getting increasingly hard to believe that pro football will survive in the form that we know it for reasons that have nothing to do with lockouts, percentages of gross revenues and filthy rich owners Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder. It’s getting harder to think the game will endure and flourish if it keeps killing its players or, at the very least, leaving them with debilitating brain injuries long before their time. Did you see the front-page story on Chris Henry in Monday’s Pittsburgh PostGazette? It might change how you watch pro football. It might even make you hope that the NFL puts in rules to protect its players from themselves even if it means dramatically changing what is an enormously popular, billiondollar business. Henry, 26, was a member of the Cincinnati Bengals when he was killed in a traffic accident in December. Subsequent tests of his brain for a study at West Virginia University showed he had brain disease consistent with that of an 80- or 90-year-old man and could have contributed to his pattern of troubled behavior — including five arrests and four suspensions in the NFL and in college. “The issue is repeated impact, repeated blows to the head,” said Dr. Bennet Omalu, one of the physicians involved in the study, perhaps

going back to Henry’s playing days in college, high school and even youth football. The news about Henry hit especially hard here in Pittsburgh, and not just because he played at West Virginia. Over the years, we have read horror stories about how brain disease from footballrelated trauma almost certainly contributed to the premature deaths of former Steelers linemen Mike Webster, Terry Long and Justin Strzelczyk. Just last fall, we read on these pages about the sad story of former Pitt AllAmerican and Steelers No. 1 draft pick Paul Martha, who went from the powerful job of president of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Mellon Arena to living in an assisted care facility because of concussionrelated dementia tracing to his playing days. Now, the Henry case offers proof for the first time that active players suffer from progressive generative brain disease. It makes you wonder how many players with the same condition are in the NFL right now. It’s scary to think about how many Websters, Longs, Strzelczyks and Marthas there will be in the near future. It could end up costing the NFL countless millions in damages. “It is a call to action,” Omalu said. “I think it’s an epidemic.” By now, with all of the attention that head injuries in the NFL have received recently, every player should be aware of the dangers. That’s not likely to cause them to push for change, though. They’ve been conditioned for too long that concussions and brain trauma are an inherent part of a game that pays many of them millions. As Martha, 68, put it of his era, “If you said you weren’t OK, you were a sissy.”

Bengals’ Benson arrested in Texas Associated Press

The NFL notebook ... AUSTIN, Texas — Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson was arrested Tuesday and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching a bar employee in the face nearly a month ago. According to the Austin police arrest affidavit, Benson was at Annie’s West bar in the Sixth Street entertainment district on May 30 when he got into an altercation with another patron that left him spitting blood from a cut lip. After staff intervened, witnesses told police Benson shoved a bar worker and was verbally abusive.

After being asked to leave, Benson was escorted to the door. Bar employee Bryan White told police that once outside, Benson complained that “all these white boys are ganging up on me and kicking me out,” then punched White in the face. STEELERS PITTSBURGH — Steelers offensive tackle Willie Colon will have surgery Wednesday to repair a torn right Achilles’ tendon and is expected to miss the season. With Colon likely out until 2011, the Steelers will explore bringing in an experienced offensive tackle. VIKINGS EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The

Minnesota Vikings have waived quarterback R.J. Archer, a rookie free agent from William and Mary. It leaves four quarterbacks on Minnesota’s roster, assuming Brett Favre decides to play this season. Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels and Joe Webb are the others. CHIEFS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have signed fifth-round draft pick Kendrick Lewis, a defensive back out of Mississippi. CHIEFS RENTON, Wash. — The Seattle Seahawks have signed safety Kevin Ellison to a new contract a week after claiming him off waivers.

SOUTH FROM 1B Houston opened the game with a double, moved up on Julio Zubillaga’s sac bunt and scored on Basinger’s two-out single. Gunnar Hogan singled to drive in Patrick Bearden. Park allowed back-to-back singles with one out in the bottom of the first, but a grounder to Bearden started a 5-4-3 double play. Zubillaga’s squib hit over first enabled Smith to score for a 3-0 lead, and Houston raced home on a throwing error. “That was the biggest thing — getting ahead and staying ahead,” Houston said. “We got a few runs right off the bat, and that helped us out a lot.” Randy Shepherd (misplayed grounder to short), Smith (bases-loaded walk), Houston (sac fly) and Zubillaga (single to left) picked up RBIs to chase Wilkes starter Ethan Creed in the third inning. Maverick Miles greeted reliever Cody Zaleski with a Bret Strelow/SALISBURY POST two-run double. Weston Smith slides home with a run. Park returned to the mound with a 10-0 lead and held Wilkes in check. Hogan, South’s shortstop, helped the cause by making three terrific plays in the fourth inning. Josh Fox led off with a sharp grounder that bounced off the chest of Hogan, who composed himself and threw to first for the out.

Cool food for hot days B Y S ARA P ITZER For The Salisbury Post

oo hot to eat? Oh, come on, boys and girls, don’t whine! It’s never too hot to eat; you just need something served cool. An amazing number of foods actually taste better at room temperature, which means you can assemble a dish, perhaps cooking some ingredients a little, and then serve it later so that nothing steams up at you from the plate. I prepared each of the following recipes a day or two in advance, refrigerated them, and then brought them to room temperature to get their pictures taken. After that, Jon Lakey, the photographer, ate as much as he wanted for lunch and took the rest home for a room-temperature supper. Another thing I like about these recipes is that they use seasonal ingredients that are available locally. I got most of mine at the farmers’ market, but produce stands and grocery stores carry fresh stuff too, increasingly often labeled with point of origin information. Of course, if you have a garden, so much the better!

Cherry Tomatoes in Baked Ricotta With this recipe, measurements can be approximate because there isn’t much to measure, and you can pretty much just use what you have on hand. I like this because you can prepare the tomatoes a day or more ahead of time and if you make more than you want for the ricotta, they’re also good on salads. And I hope you’ll avoid the temptation to use low-fat ricotta here because the little bit of butterfat in the whole milk cheese gives it a better texture and flavor. A handful of cherry tomatoes Olive oil 1 garlic clove (optional) Fresh basil or oregano Salt and pepper 1 small container (about 1 pound) ricotta Fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley Preparing the tomatoes Set oven to 400 degrees. Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange them in a shallow baking pan. Sprinkle with a generous amount of olive oil in which you have soaked a peeled clove of garlic if you like it. Scatter some torn leaves of basil or oregano on top. Season with salt and pepper. Put the tomatoes into the oven and immediately turn it off. Let the tomatoes remain in the oven overnight or at least eight hours. Then they’re ready to use and can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for several days. Baking the ricotta Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie plate. Mix the fresh herbs into the ricotta. Pat the ricotta into it, in a circle about ½ inch thick. The ricotta shouldn’t come all the way to the sides of the plate. Bake for about 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven when the ricotta is light brown and just firm. Don’t worry if a little moisture seeps from the cheese. Arrange the prepared tomatoes on top of the cheese as it cools. Serving Cut the ricotta into wedges and serve at room temperature.

Turkish eggplant, marinated green beans and cherry tomatoes with baked ricotta make for good summer treats. Makes 3-4 servings.

Turkish Eggplant I’ve been making this recipe for more than 30 years, under a variety of names. “Turkish Eggplant” is what it was called when I first got the recipe from friends after they returned from a work assignment in Turkey. But when I wanted to include it in my Southern Hospitality Cookbook (long since out of print), it just didn’t sound Southern, so I settled for “Eggplant in Tomato Sauce,” which frankly has no ring to it at all.

Now that we’re all more sophisticated, let’s go back to that first name. This dish is great for buffets and pot luck meals because it should be served at room temperature and can be made many days ahead of time. It’s a great use for all the eggplant available this summer. The small, Asianstyle eggplants or the little round ones are especially good this way. I find that when I use them instead of the one large eggplant I used to use, it doesn’t take quite as much olive oil. About five cups young, unpeeled eggplant cubes

½ cup olive oil 2½ C. sliced onion 1 cup sliced celery 2 8-ounce cans tomato sauce ¼ C. wine vinegar 2 Tbs. granulated sugar 2 Tbs. drained capers (do not omit) ½ tsp. salt 1 ⁄3 C. sliced black olives

Sauté the eggplant in the oil until the cubes begin to turn golden. Remove from the pan and sauté the onion and celery until tender but not brown. Return the eggplant to the skillet. Add tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add the remaining

ingredients, cover the pan, and simmer 20 minutes more. Refrigerate at least overnight before serving. Serve at room temperature. This will keep a week or longer covered in the refrigerator. Makes 8 servings.

Marinated Green Beans Think salad or side dish here. You’ll need youngish beans, either half-runners or stringless. The recipe doesn’t work with pole beans that

are typically cooked longer. Break the ends off the beans but don’t cut them up. Steam them or cook in a small amount of water until barely tender, then immediately plunge the beans into ice water. Drain. Dress with this simple marinade: 1 part olive oil 1 ⁄3 part red wine or balsamic vinegar Generous handful of fresh dill

Refrigerate. Will keep, covered, for several days. Add salt and pepper at serving time and serve at cool room temperature.

Extreme cleaning — I once saw a dishwasher soap advertisement with the image of a crystal chandelier in the dishwasher. That's what prompted me to try washing my synthetic horse harness that way. It worked! I did not add detergent. All it took was water to remove a year's worth of horse sweat and grunge. I removed the harness before the heat cycle. I would not do it frequently or use this method with leather tack, but it's worth it before a show Handwash help — I do not when I am pooped with all the have a dishwasher, so I wash other preparations! — Marty B., e-mail all my dishes by hand.

I recently wrote about all the ways I use my dishwasher to clean and even cook for me. I described how I wash everything from baseball hats to car mats in my favorite home appliance. Reader letters flooded in. Some conveyed horror at the thought of washing anything other than dishes MARY this way. OthHUNT ers vowed to experiment with their own dishwashers. But most responders shared their own unique ways of using this kitchen device to get some surprising jobs done. Tree trimming — I once washed my artificial Christmas tree in the dishwasher by taking the top rack out. The tree had gotten a little grungy from storage in the shed. My experimental cleaning method worked well, except that I was picking loose "needles" out of my dishwasher for ages. — Cathy T., Pennsylvania

There were more than 25 vendors displaying their vast variety of goods for sale. The market was crowded with shoppers that seemed oblivious to the rising temperatures. This time of year corn, tomatoes, squash and cucumbers are available in abundance. Blackberries and blueberries are beginning to peak. Salisbury Farmers Market has something to offer everyone. Basically, every fruit and vegetable imaginable is on hand. There are baked goods, plants, cut flowers and crafts as well. Oh, did I mention there is plenty of corn and tomatoes?

One of the most interesting vendors at the Salisbury Farmers Market is David Correll of Correll Farms. He graduated from N.C. State University in 1996 with a degree in Animal Science. David and his wife, Cheryl, live on a farm that has belonged to the Correll family for more than 100 years. Formerly a dairy operation that closed in 2005, Correll Farms still has about 30 head of beef cattle. Each year they plant about 350 acres of field corn and soybeans combined. They also have nine acres of tomatoes that are grown to be marketed commercially. What brings David to our farmers market is the variety of unusual fruit and vegetables he grows. Everything he sells is grown on his farm. The reason his produce is so different from what is normally grown is the research he does to determine unusual and interesting varieties that he thinks the market patrons will buy and enjoy. In addition, he can provide you with recipes or instructions on how to prepare an item you have never used before. David is at our market every Wednesday and Saturday. In addition, he sets up at the Statesville evening market Thursday and Cheryl, operates a booth at the Davidson market each Saturday. Visit him at our market for some really beautiful, fresh produce. For more than two weeks we have been experiencing oppressive heat in Rowan County. You would think these weather conditions would greatly impact any outdoor activities. This was

Be very careful with your entries

That second opportunity you wanted to put something together will manifest in the year ahead. Chances are you’ll be aided by another with equal credentials to help you succeed this time around. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Although your authority over others will be most effective, your ways won’t come off as being harsh. You’ll have an innate sense of others’ shortcomings and bypass them when it comes to their work Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — A sensitive development could arise again, similar to one you previously handled well. You won’t have to alter your methods one bit, because this past experience will serve you well. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Associates will appreciate your gentle manner and your willingness to do whatever it takes to reach success, not only for yourself but for them as well, all without making them feel obligated. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Promises you’ve made will not be broken, even if it means putting off something you wanted to do. Although this may be a sacrifice, you won’t see it as such and will happily do what you can. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This is likely to be a very rewarding day, not so much from work you do, but from how you handle others. Your sensitivity to their shortcomings will be appreciated in heartfelt ways. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Conditions are likely to provide just the opening you’ve been hoping for to have that sensitive conversation with another. Once you get things off your mind, all will be well. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Give priority to a delicate matter that has to do with your material well-being. You’ll have all the right words at the right time to resolve whatever it is in the right manner. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You won’t ignore matters that must be treated seriously. But at the same time, you will be able to stay loose enough to enjoy a good laugh, even if it is on you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Aid that you’d least expect will help you get yourself out of a tough bind. With this assistance, you’ll be able to neatly escape from a situation you’ve been unable to resolve. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Try to find some time to spend with two good friends whom you haven’t seen for a while. The gettogether will give you some solid feelings that all is well with the world Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you have a sensitive matter that needs to be handled carefully, the more people who are involved that you can contact and work closely with, the more likely everything will turn out OK. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — A new avenue could open up that will lead to you believing more in yourself and less in what others have to say. This fresh outlook will help you achieve an important goal.

This will allow you to count winners and losers, and to form a proper plan. If an opponent complains about the delay, turn to him and say, “You have broken my train of thought. I’m going to have to start again.” What do you make of this deal? You are in three notrump. West leads his fourthhighest diamond, and East plays the nine under dummy’s 10. Also, what do you think of the bidding? I believe that a two-notrump opening should show 21 or 22 points, with a good 20 counting as 21. And normally the hand will have seven controls, counting an ace as two and a king as one. Your hand has eight controls. But it has 43-3-3 distribution and no intermediate cards (10s or nines). So it is borderline between two no-trump and two clubs. North, though, is right to respond three no-trump. With so few points, he should ignore those clubs and just bid game in no-trump. (If the suit were a major, North should bid game in that suit, preferably via a transfer bid.) If you win trick one on the board and unblock your three club winners, how will you get back to the board to cash those other three club winners? You won’t, unless West is sound asleep when you lead your remaining low diamond toward

the board. Your only possible dummy entry is in diamonds, so take trick one with your ace. Then, unblock the clubs and lead a diamond, forcing a dummy entry. You will end with at least nine tricks.

Hulu launches $10 video subscription service LOS ANGELES (AP) — Online video site Hulu, under pressure from its media company parents to generate a profit, has launched a subscription service with access to older episodes of popular television shows. More recent episodes of the shows will remain free on Hulu’s ad-supported website. But for $9.99 a month, subscribers can get the entire current season of “Glee,” “The Office,” “House” and other shows from broadcasters ABC, Fox and NBC. The new site is initially available by invitation only on computers, Apple Inc.’s iPad and iPhones and certain Samsung Blu-ray players and TVs.

Dear Dr. Gott: After severe back pain and many different meds and treatments, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I took Cymbalta, which helped but it made me lethargic and depressed. I’m now taking Celebrex, helped DR. PETER which for a while, GOTT but now the pain in my lower back and hips is so bad that I cannot lie on my side. I am ready to give up. Do you have any advice? Dear Reader: The pain of fibromyalgia is widespread and can be felt throughout the body. Symptoms vary from person to person and can include joint stiffness, sleep disorders, fatigue, widespread pain and a great deal more. Herein lies the problem, because every symptom can be tied in to other disorders, making it difficult to diagnose.

There is no X-ray testing or laboratory work to confirm or rule out fibromyalgia. Rather, the history a patient presents to his or her physician, coupled with a hands-on examination, will likely tell the story. Treatment commonly begins with over-the-counter remedies such as ibuprofen, aspirin or naproxen sodium, advancing to prescription medications such as gabapentin, tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and narcotics. The downside to narcotics is their addictive qualities, which appear to control one condition while replacing it with another damaging one. Physical therapy and an exercise program might be an appropriate addition to more conservative methods. Water aerobics, deep breathing exercises, massage, chiropractic manipulation, acupuncture, yoga and even counseling might teach a patient methods of successfully dealing with the constant pain. There are op-

tions. Therefore, it is important that you enlist the services of a physician well versed in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Don’t give up. The condition is an unpleasant, exhausting one but there is help.

Not eating, but still cooking: Ebert pens cookbook CHICAGO (AP) — Cancer may have robbed Roger Ebert of the ability to eat, but it won’t stop him from dishing out cooking advice. Four years after cancer surgery left the famed film critic unable to speak or eat, Ebert is publishing a cookbook dedicated to rice cookers, a kitchen appliance he lovingly calls “The Pot” and

champions as an answer for those strapped for cash, time and counter space. “To be sure, health problems have prevented me from eating,” Ebert writes in the book. “That did not discourage my cooking. It became an exercise more pure, freed of biological compulsion.” The idea for the book came after a 2008 blog post

he wrote about rice cookers prompted hundreds of comments, with many readers including their favorite recipes. “I think I was somewhat frustrated by not being able to eat and I wanted to live vicariously,” the 68-year-old said during an interview at his Chicago home, his laptop computer speaking his typed answers.
