Fireworks help keep Fourth of July thrills alive

Dean Orbison directs the Faith Fourth Choir at Faith Baptist Church during a patriotic program Sunday.

A blending of religion, patriotism in Faith

BY KARISSA MINN

F

aith Baptist Church overflowed with red, white and blue Sunday evening during its Faith Fourth patriotic program.

The program began with a prayer, the pledge, the national anthem and a salute to the U.S. armed forces.

After narrator Karl Hales spoke about the meaning of the pledge of allegiance, a trio of men sang “Under God,” which is about two words that invoke religion in the national vow of patriotism.

Under the direction of Bud and Tomie Troxler Dean Orbishow off their patriotic son, the outfits.

Faith Fourth Choir then sang songs about God and country, including, “In This Very Room,” “I Hear Liberty Singing,” “Danny Boy,” “Climbin’ Up the Mountain,” “In Flanders Field” and “The Scars and

Stripes.”

The final tune, “In Remembrance,” was dedicated to those who have fallen in armed service.

It featured a french horn solo by Jay Hoffman.

Usually, Debbie Smith sings in the Faith Fourth choir, but this year her own church cantata had a conflicting practice schedule.

“I hate that we didn’t get to sing in it this year... but it’s fun to watch it, also,” Smith said.

She said she enjoys Orbison’s directing, as a member of both the choir and the audience.

“He’s got a great style and great patriotism,” she said. “He’s

just got a lot of enthusiasm. He’s fun to sing for.”

Smith has lived in Faith for 30 years. She said Independence Day is “like Christmas” for her family and friends, who come to her house each year to watch the fireworks. (This year, the fireworks display takes place tonight instead of July Fourth.)

Margaret Miller, of Salisbury, said she and her husband, Sammy, come to Faith every year to celebrate Independence Day. This is the first year they attended the patriotic program at Faith Baptist

Tonight’s fireworks: 10:30 p.m. —

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s largest fireworks show lit up the skies in a burst of red, white and blue over the Hudson River straddling New York and New Jersey on Sunday, a scene that was being repeated in hundreds of communities in a sizzling end to a scorching day for much of the U.S. “It’s amazing on TV,” said Marcos Jimenez, a golf caddy who joined thousands of others lining the riverfront for a prime view of the show. “I figured seeing it live would be even better.”

Budget cuts forced some communities to pull the plug on the pyrotechnics, but the gigantic Macy’s fireworks show went on as planned on Manhattan’s West Side, where it moved in 2009 after eight years on the East River.

The show, which aired live on NBC, began just before 9:30 p.m. with huge fireballs exploding in the night sky to the strains of patriotic tunes like “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

The shimmering fireworks that streaked across the night sky replaced a blazing sun that broiled nearly everywhere east of the Mississippi with temperatures in the 90s.

In Washington, vendors with stocked coolers hawked “cold,” “ice cold,” and even “super cold” bottles of water along Constitution Avenue as mid-afternoon temperatures reached the mid-90s. There was a long line for watermelon — $3 for a huge wedge — and near the Washington Monument, firefighters and U.S. Park Police officers sprayed hoses into the crowd.

“I just need some AC,” said Brooke Fenske, 16, of Elgin, Minn. Fenske, in town for a 4-H trip, said it doesn’t get this

hot in her home state.

On Brooklyn’s Coney Island, American Joey Chestnut won the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for the fourth straight year, but one of his biggest rivals tried to crash the celebration and was taken into custody. (See story on Page 11A.) In Washington, thousands gathered on the National Mall were treated to 17 minutes of fireworks, shot off behind the Washington Monument.

The Obama family celebrated the holiday by hosting members of the military and their families for a barbecue, concert and a view of fireworks on the South Lawn of the White House.

“Michelle and I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with America’s extraordinary men and women in uniform and their families,” President Barack Obama told the guests.

Festivities in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, will conclude today after 11 days of parades and concerts. The Goo Goo Dolls were headlining a free concert Sunday night, followed by a fireworks show.

In California, one of the largest fireworks displays was at the Rose Bowl, where crews spread fire retardant on the nearby hillsides to prevent sparks from igniting brush fires.

Tragedy at parade

Two injured in shooting A shooting early Saturday morning in Salisbury left two men wounded.

Sgt. T.J. Crews of the Salisbury Police Department said Sunday evening that it was not clear who fired the shots at 1710 N. Long St. Neither man at the scene was found with a gun.

David Jumar White, 27, of

631 S. Ellis St., was shot multiple times and was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center.

A hospital spokesperson said there was no record of White as a patient.

Henry Lee Wilder Jr., 23, of 304 Adam St., was shot once and was treated and released from Rowan Regional.

Memory box filled with mementoes of bygone era I

don’t remember how or when the box landed on my desk. Long ago, I had shoved it into a corner of my newsroom cubicle, deciding it would be worth closer inspection some other day.

It was about the size of a cigar box but a bit wider and not as deep. An envelope on top was addressed to “Mrs. Rose Post,” my long retired partner in crime.

Dick Earnhardt, owner of Carpet Deals & More in SalisMARK bury, had scratched a WINEKA message on a single piece of notebook paper inside the envelope. It was dated Dec. 31, 1998.

“This was bought at an auction,” Beulah Boots Grahams high school mem- he wrote to Rose, “and is quite interory book starts with items from her senior esting, especially the photographs.

to which it should be returned. If you can help, it would be truly appreciated. Thanks, Dick Earnhardt.”

He left his business card with the note.

It was quickly evident that Earnhardt had found a girl’s high school memory book labeled “School Belles.” It possessed a sturdy red cover, and its inside pages had two punchholes on the left that were tied together with decorative red yarn.

Sections of the book were titled, allowing fill-in spaces for the school and class colors, school cheers, school songs, teacher names, sports scores, friends’ autographs, commencement notes and vacation memories.

The book also was crammed full of notes, newspaper clippings, programs and photographs. Underneath were some additional envelopes and letters.

SALISBURY POST

Immediately after President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the first three Selective Service numbers chosen on Oct. 28, 1940, a Salisbury Post photographer went in search of the men drawn for Salisburys Area No. 1 board office. One of those men was J.C. Hardister, whose picture appeared in the Post under the heading “First Man in Draft.” Hardister lived on East Kerr Street in Salisbury and was an apprentice machinist at Spencer Shops, where the photos were taken. He held the number 158, the first draft number drawn by the president. “Im married,” Hardister said at the time, “but my wife is working.”

His wife, the former Dorothy Julian of Spencer, was employed at Southern Bell as a telephone operator. Hardister was at lunch when his number was called, but he didnt hear about it until he was back at work and the Post photographer arrived. Two other men in Rowan County, Harley Vance Morgan of RFD No. 5 in Salisbury and Hal Jackson Davis of China Grove, also held the “lucky” number 158.

Retired railroader and U.S. Army veteran J.C. Hardister lives at Trinity Oaks today and just celebrated his 93rd birthday Saturday. A granddaughter, Kim Hardister Riddle, brought the old newspaper clipping to the Post, which had these photographs on file.

Limit trips to the scale to just once a week Q: How many times a week should I weigh myself?

A: In my opinion and many other professionals, you should weigh yourself once a week. (unless your doctor or health care professional has advised you to weigh more often).

I am amazed how many people weigh themselves once or numerous times a day.

At one point in my life the ESTER scale became MARSH an enemy of mine. Having to make my weight class in Judo, I did anything to make my weight class — over exercise, put plastic bags under my many layers of workout clothes, not eat, and weigh myself a bundle of times a day.

Checking your weight often can really become an issue.

Now, I don’t want you to wait until your annual physical to weigh yourself, but once a week is really enough for most people. My recommendation is to weigh in the morning when you wake up, on the same scale, same day, same time and preferable completely naked.

Log your weight and write down how your week has been — did you eat a lot, exercise like you planned to, not feel

good etc.?

Many people come to the Y and other fitness centers and weigh themselves before they work out and after they work out. They are very upset when they didn’t lose anything during their workout. It takes more than one workout to lose excess weight, and all the weight you are losing during your workout is water weight.

As someone who had the scale rule her life in her late teens and early 20s, I believe if you aren’t careful, it will rule your life too. I see people come in feeling so good about themselves, step on the scale and their whole mood changes from being very up, to very down.

Besides your weekly weigh in, you can have your body fat measured by a professional like a fitness trainer or use a scale that can measure your body fat. As long you use the same method and/or same trainer, it can show you pretty accurate results. At the most, do this once a month. (It can become an obsession too!)

So start logging your weight once a week, same day, same time, same “attire.” Exercise hard, eat well-balanced meals and don’t let the scale take over your life.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is waning at the box office but still has gotten off to a blockbuster start with $161 million in its first five days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The third chapter in Summit Entertainment’s vampire romance fell off sharply after debuting last Wednesday with $68.5 million. That was the second-best opening-day haul ever, behind its predecessor, last year’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which opened with $72.7 million.

After that huge first day, “Eclipse” averaged about $23 million daily over the next four days.

That includes an estimate for a slow Sunday as people turned their attention to Fourth of July activities.

Fourth of July opening. I’m not looking to make excuses, but between barbecues and fireworks, we have a lot of competition,” said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit. “I do think people will come back to the movie.”

Its total through Sunday came in well short of the $200 million mark set last year by “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” the recordholder for best five-day start for movies opening on Wednesday.

“Eclipse” easily held the No. 1 spot for the weekend, though its $69 million Friday-to-Sunday total was only a fraction more than what the movie took in just on opening day. “New Moon” took in $142.8 million in its first weekend last November, though the movie opened on Friday and the figure includes its record opening-day gross.

Work begins after Tom Barber used his Ford Tractor to plow up a row of potatoes from the community garden at Woodleaf Methodist Church.

Growing together Woodleaf United Methodist Church’s community garden feeds local families WOODLEAF — A small army of Woodleaf United Methodist Church members reported for duty recently — the harvesting of potatoes from their community garden.

Ages 8 to 79 got their hands dirty in collecting the potatoes plowed up by Tom Barber, the chief ramrod behind the half-acre garden, now in its second year.

The church garden — a half-acre in size — has produced the potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, squash and green beans with lima beans and okra coming in the near future. Some late green beans and peas already have been planted where the potatoes were dug up.

Sunflowers and zinnias also are planted in the garden, and Loretta Brown makes sure fresh flowers

find their way into the church every Sunday morning.

Last year, the garden supplied produce for at least 55 families, and the church believes it has served 30 families so far this summer.

“It’s open to the community,” Loretta Barber says. “... It’s there for your needs.”

Increasingly, folks in the Woodleaf community know the garden is there if they want to stop by for something.

The garden is behind the church, which is located off N.C. 801. The former pastor, the Rev. Ron Hartman, thought the garden would be good use of extra land the church had bought for when it needs to expand the cemetery.

“It’s been a very worthwhile thing,” Loretta says.

Authur Ratledge sits on a bucket while Tom Barber plows the rows of potatoes at Woodleaf UnitedMethodist Churchs community garden. The garden supplied produce for at least 55 families last year. It has served about 30 families so far this summer. Church members are currently growing potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and squash.

aving seen my brother Joe in the Granite Quarry High School band in the late 1950s, I started band at Granite Quarry in the fifth grade.

I began with the clarinet, later switching to the big bass horn — the sousaphone, sometimes referred to as the tuba. All of the different fingering positions of the clarinet were too comMACK WILLIAMS plicated for me and three valves seemed easier to operate.

Once in a while, the basses would have a piece of melody, but their lot in life seemed to be to provide a punctuated beat along with the percussion instruments, and to serve as sort of a counterbalance to whatever was happening with the instruments of the treble clef.

During high school at East Rowan, I enjoyed our performances at the football halftime shows. As a freshman, I was still two years away from meeting my steady high school girlfriend, so I enjoyed being in my uniform and walking past girls and hanging around the concession stand. At the time I thought that “girls like a guy in uniform,” but I guess I was in the wrong sort of uniform.

For me, a band uniform did not turn out to be a “girl ticket.”

There were some built-in hazards of playing the sousaphone outside of the band room at football games and parades. During some football games — homecoming, I think — miniature footballs would be thrown out to the attending fans in the bleachers.

During one band class period, following a Friday night game, I noticed a “wheezing” sound coming from my sousaphone when I played it. It sounded as if it had come down with bronchitis. I turned it over and a tiny football fell out and hit the floor — evidently, it had been thrown there while I had made a trip to the concession stand in an attempt to make an impression with my uniform.

Parades were also hazardous because some members of the public mistook the great brass opening of the bell of the sousaphone for a moving garbage can, into which balled up pieces of paper were to be hurled, along with some occasional rocks. The great opening, of course, was meant for the sound to exit and was not some mobile black hole pressed into service by the city’s trash collection department.

Another particular memory of Christmas parades had to do with cold temperatures. For those of us brass players, whose instruments used mouthpieces, the instruction was given to keep those mouthpieces in our warm pockets until it was time to make music. The effect of a cold mouthpiece was such a shock to the lips that it could greatly affect the sound. Although the cold wasn’t as cold or shocking to us as it was to that unfortunate little boy, many years later, in the movie “Toy Story.”

Whenever the band traveled to an “away” game, passage in and out of the front door of the bus was impossible due to the size of my sousaphone. I had to go in or out by way of the rear door of the bus, making my entrances and exits always something of an “emergency.”

They actually sold a lot of bonds ($14,045), sometimes for just a handshake.

Merley recently died and I asked Gail Punch, who was clearing out the house, to be on the lookout for a handkerchief I knew she had.

When looking through some scrapbooks, she spotted the handkerchief, pictures and newspaper articles of the event. She really got excited about finding it and brought the scrapbook to me. There were many more items she was involved in, or thought worth saving because of that particular time period.

Mail-order is bad healthcare. It is important for every patient to have a personal relationship with their local pharmacist, to ask questions and better understand medication side effects, as well as have someone to ask those important health care questions. You certainly do not have that ability with your postman.

Park PlaceBeautyrest Red Rose Simmons Mattress Set Plush or Firm

Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers make more money if they can force you into mail-order. Medications are given to you by your doctor to improve your healthcare and quality of health. You need access to your local pharmacist to council you on these medications. You also need access to cross check the new medications with other medications you already take to guard again interactions. Your postman can’t do this either.

If you are being told you have to use mail-order and are being discriminated against, call Wayne Goodwin, the Commissioner of Insurance (919-807-6750) and tell him you want your rights protected and you want to get your medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

15 or 16 years old then. He ran outside to see what was going on, since it shook the house. He got a glimpse of the plane going south. He said he had never heard such a noise. In three years, he would also be in service.

War bond sales were held in the park frequently.

There would almost always be something to attract interest. One thing was a wooden tank on wheels. It could be driven around to different cities.

Another attraction was a huge whale on a railway flat car, which was parked on the side track behind Belk’s department store. It created quite a bit of interest since most people had never seen a whale. There was also a submarine on display at another event. War bond sales in the park were big events during the war, as were scrap drives.

Movie stars were frequently visitors. Before I went in service in 1942, John Payne and Jane Wyman visited on one hot summer day. More than 3,500 people attended the event. I was there and took pictures. They made talks about the importance of buying war bonds. Someone was always playfully offering one of their clothing items as an incentive to buy the bonds. Depending on the item being offered, the cost for the bond purchaser could be high. The bigger the item, the more the purchaser had to pay. I saw B.W. Durham buy John’s coat for a $500 war bond.

John immediately bought a bond for the same amount to get it back. Mr. Durham did get one of his neckties for a $150 bond, which he wore the next day.

The one I remember most was a handkerchief Merley Alexander (Punch) received from John Payne for a $100

have been told recently of some unusual things that happened in Kannapolis during and after World War II. Some were comical and some were not.

During the war, mostly very young men were eiNORRIS drafted DEARMON ther or volunteered. By young, the definition would be ages between 18 to 20.

There were a few older but not many. By 1943, if a GI was 35 or older he had no trouble getting discharged.

Youth seems to be a little more daring with tendencies to do things older people would not do.

In 1944, Bill Whitley had completed schools to become a flight engineer on a B-24 liberator bomber. A B24 was a very large four engine plane with twin tails.

By the fall of 1943, his plane was ready to fly overseas.

One day before leaving for overseas duty, he and the crew were going to make one more test flight from their base in Virginia. As was always the case, everything was done in secret. No one wanted the enemy to know what was going on.

After takeoff, Bill said to the crew, “We are going to Kannapolis, N.C.” What he really meant was, “We are going to buzz Kannapolis.”

After doing their testing on the way, they arrived at Kannapolis and flew down Main Street very low. I am sure the people thought they were going to be bombed because the plane made a terrible noise at the low altitude. By the time they reached Montgomery Ward, Bill had the props turned to make even more noise. The noise shook the buildings for two blocks on either side, especially the Whitley’s Funeral Home, where his Dad would be. They then flew up for a better cruising altitude back to the base.

Bill could not tell his parents it was him who flew over the buildings because of their secret operation. All movements by the services were secret at that time. Today, they would not be allowed to fly that low.

I recently talked to Ray Simpson Jr., who told me of the flight through Kannapolis by Bill. He lived on Ridge Avenue, about half a block north of the location of Whitley’s Funeral Home on Main Street. He was about

Authorities told the Asheville Citizen-Times that the canoeists found the body Saturday afternoon, then pulled their canoe out of the French Broad River and called for help.

Asheville police didn’t give the man’s name because his family has not been notified, but they said he was homeless.

Investigators say there were no signs of foul play, but an autopsy has been scheduled.

Police say they don’t know exactly when the man died, but said he appeared he had been in the river for a while.

RALEIGH (AP) — An organization that represents police officers in North Carolina is asking the governor to pursue criminal charges against a former high-ranking state trooper who resigned last month over inappropriate text messages sent to a secretary.

North Carolina Police Benevolent Association Executive Director John Midgette says former patrol Maj. Everett Clendenin should be criminally charged with misuse of state property.

The uniforms were handsome, but so were the uniforms of those unfortunate, snow-covered French soldiers on their way back from Moscow to their homes in France during the War of 1812. As far as my consideration of joining the marching band at that school in the mountains was concerned, I had thought about it, and then I had thought better of it.

RALEIGH (AP) — Democrats proud to have passed the North Carolina state budget on schedule for the first time since 2003 will have to keep a pretty short to-do list if they are to hold their shortest even-numbered year session since 1996, too.

The longer the General Assembly lingers before gaveling out the budget-adjustment session, the list can grow as rank-and-file legislators try to argue their pet piece of legislation is indispensable.

“It’s better to get out quick, rather than let all the bad stuff come out of committee,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Pasquotank, the House Rules Committee chairman.

Heading into what could be the final week of the session, legislative leaders hope to gather their focus largely upon passing a broad ethics, campaign fundraising and government reform package, followed by an economic incentives bill.

“When you shake it all down, front and center is the ethics bill.

That’s what we’ve got to do,” said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe.

The investigation into activities surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign has entered a second year, and calls to stop “pay-to-play” politics are mounting. Given that, Democrats and Republicans alike can’t afford to be seen as doing nothing on the issue, especially during an election year. Gov. Beverly Perdue also has offered her own ethics package.

“I actually think that you can’t go home without that,” Perdue told reporters at the budget’s bill signing last week.

The House and Senate have competing packages that now appear to have bipartisan support.

They both make it a felony to give at least $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions in a single election.

It’s currently a misdemeanor. The state ethics laws would cover more people, and elected officials would have to file another financial dis-

Legislative leaders hope to gather their focus largely upon passing a broad ethics, campaign fundraising and government reform package, followed by an economic incentives bill. closure statement once they leave office to shed light on potential conflicts of interest.

“We want the public to have confidence in the process,” said Sen. Steve Goss, D-Watauga, the Senate bill’s co-author.

Differences stem from what are considered the best ways to reduce the perception outsiders can unfairly influence politicians.

The House has taken a more aggressive approach by limiting state contractors to donating no more than $1,000 per year to the political campaign of someone seeking a Council of State office who would have authority to award a contract.

It also wants board and commission members to disclose their detailed fundraising activities for the officials appointing them.

Senate leaders believe the ideas would be difficult to carry out or raise constitutional questions, so they want to narrow the fundraising disclosure questions and study the contractor fundraising issue.

Jane Pinsky, a lobbyist for the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform, said sthe time for studying is over.

“The Senate seems to think that it doesn’t matter to people of North Carolina that contractors can give money to people who write contracts for them,” she said. “I think the House feels pretty strongly that it does matter.”

The economic incentives package is in danger of getting scuttled or delayed since a Senate finance committee inserted a provision late

last week that would create a state trust designed to manage the Yadkin River and its dams currently owned by Alcoa Inc. The House rejected a similar trust last year.

Perdue said lawmakers must give her more generous tax credits to revive the state’s ailing film industry and create breaks to make the state a destination for computer simulation program firms.

“I’ll be very direct. If we do not pass this bill, North Carolina will be able to kiss those industries good bye,” Perdue said.

Lawmakers will take up some other topics in the final days.

Liquor store reforms and redistributing 911 emergency phone fees are expected to pass before adjournment, but a ban on sweepstakes machines and a referendum on eminent domain face uncertain futures.

Attorney General Roy Cooper appears to have momentum on his side to pass a bill so police can take DNA samples from people arrested for serious crimes — without having to wait until conviction as they do now. Cooper held a news conference last week featuring a rape victim speaking out in favor of the measure. He later addressed a Senate committee, whose members largely agreed with him that it would solve more crimes and protect the public.

“I just can’t find a problem with this thing,” said Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston.

The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union opposes the bill because it doesn’t require probable cause before a sample is taken, violating the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizures. Cooper counters there are many protections in the bill.

Some lawmakers uncomfortable with the measure will support it anyway because they don’t want to be seen as being soft on crime, ACLU lobbyist Sarah Preston said.

“It’s difficult to vote against something like this,” Preston said.

“When customers come to our store they’re not just looking for shoes they’re looking for comfort. Our staff is trained to match those tired, sore feet with the right products to make them feel better.”

Nissan Motor's new electronic vehicle Leaf is displayed during an opening ceremony of the companys new headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. The age of the silent hybrid may be coming to an end. Gas-electric hybrids, propelled by electric motors at low speeds, are well-known for their quiet-ride and great gas mileage. But the silence isn't always golden, some researchers and safety groups say the so-called hybrid-creep can pose risks for unsuspecting pedestrians and the blind who use sound cues to travel safely.

Quiet hybrids: An end to their sounds of silence?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The age of the silent hybrid may be coming to an end.

Gas-electric hybrids, propelled by electric motors at low speeds, are well-known for their quiet ride and great mileage. But their silence isn’t always golden.

Some researchers and safety groups say that quiet operation — “hybrid creep” — can pose risks for unsuspecting pedestrians and the blind, who use sound cues.

Advocates for the blind have sought the addition of artificial noises in hybrids for several years, concerned that the expected sales growth of hybrids could lead to more pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Hybrids account for about 2 percent of new car sales each year but auto companies are expected to boost production in advance of tougher fuel efficiency standards this decade.

“This is an example of too much of a good thing,” said John Pare, executive director for strategic initiatives with the National Federation of the Blind. “Cars got quieter, that was good. Suddenly they got to be so quiet that it added an element of danger.”

The government’s auto safety agency said in a research report last year that hybrid vehicles are twice as likely to be involved in pedestrian crashes at low speeds compared with cars with conventional engines. The study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration examined circumstances in which the vehicles were slowing down or coming to a stop, backing up or entering or departing a parking space.

More than 4,300 pedestrians were killed in 2008, according to the most recent data available. The govern-

ment has been researching the safety risks that hybrids and electrics could pose for pedestrians, particularly the blind, along with the elderly and children, for vehicles traveling at 20 mph or less.

When a car is going faster, the friction between the tire and the road’s surface makes the vehicle louder.

The quiet hybrid phenomenon already has its place in pop culture. In an episode of NBC’s “The Office,” paper salesman Andy Bernard uses his stealthy blue Toyota Prius to sneak up on Dwight Schrute and pin his bitter rival against a hedge. One concerned co-worker, watching the unfolding drama, says “the Prius is silent if he keeps it under 5 miles per hour.”

Congress is heeding the warnings, adding sound performance requirements for hybrids and electric cars to an auto safety bill being considered after the massive Toyota recalls. Lawmakers could consider the changes this summer and car companies most likely would have to have the sounds ready to go three years after the release of new government rules.

Automakers helped develop the proposal in Congress and are moving forward with new artificial sounds that will be emitted from electric cars and future hybrid models.

Nissan Motor Corp. has produced distinct sounds for the Leaf, the electric car expected to go on sale this year, when the vehicle accelerates or moves in reverse. When the Leaf speeds up to 20 mph, it automatically will use a soft whirring sound that changes pitch as the car accelerates.

When the Leaf backs up, an intermittent bell will ring to warn those nearby.

The Japanese automaker consulted with acoustic psychologists and Hollywood sound designers to find a tone that addresses drivers, pedestrians and the community.

“It was kind of like peeling back an onion. The more we worked on it, the more issues came up, the more of a balancing act it became,” said Andy Christensen, a manager with Nissan’s North American Technical Center near Detroit. Nissan plans to use the sounds on the Infiniti M35 hybrid to be released in 2012.

General Motors Co. wanted a more subtle chirp on its Chevrolet Volt, so it chose an alert horn that lets the driver warn an unknowing bystander.

“We didn’t want to blast the horn at them and figuratively smack the people in the nose,” said Doug Moore, a vehicle performance engineer for the Volt project. “We just wanted to tap them on the shoulder and say, ’Hey I’m here.”’

Other automakers are hard at work, too.

Toyota Motor Corp., which makes the top-selling Prius hybrid, is studying artificial sounds for hybrids when the vehicle is propelled by its electric motor at low speeds.

Ford Motor Co. is working to bring external sounds to future hybrids and electrics, including its Focus electric car, expected in 2011, and a nextgeneration hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicle planned for 2012.

Nancy Gioia, Ford’s director of global electrification, said car companies should consider standardizing tones from future hybrids and electrics to avoid a cacophony of confusion on the streets.

“It can’t be like cell phones where we all select our own

sound and we tune out everybody else’s but our own,” Gioia said.

Some green car advocates have questioned the need for the extra tones and noted that the requirement could add more noise to neighborhoods.

Paul Scott, vice president of Plug In America, said the sounds could help under certain circumstances, but drivers should have the right to activate the tones.

“After hearing how innocuous the Nissan Leaf sound is, maybe it’ll be a minor irritant for us, but I suspect people will tire of it eventually and seek ways to disable the noise,” Scott said in an e-mail from Japan, where he was test-driving the car.

Les Blomberg, who is the founder of the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, said reducing noise from the loudest vehicles, such as trucks, buses and motorcycles, would increase the ability of pedestrians to detect sound. Adding sounds to hybrids, however, would simply enhance noise pollution and make it more difficult to hear an individual vehicle in traffic.

After drop, will stocks rise? S&P data offer hope NEW YORK (AP) — OK, you’re gutsy enough to buy on dips. Now how about buying on a dive?

After a scary slump for stocks this spring, that’s the question facing many investors. In the three months ended June 30, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 11.9 percent, the biggest quarterly loss since the financial crisis. The fear is that economic growth may slow, or stall, and that’s got even bulls wondering if stocks could drop even lower.

The good news: If you can muster the courage to buy, history suggests you may be rewarded.

According to an S&P analysis of prices going back to the Great Crash of 1929, stocks tend to climb in quarters following big declines.

“The market is like a rubber band,” said S&P Chief Strategist Sam Stovall after finishing his analysis Friday.

“Stretch it too far, and it’s likely to snap back.”

Time and again, the pattern seems to repeat: Investors get carried away selling but then come to their senses and start buying again.

Some details and lessons from Stovall’s numbers: • Good follows bad seven out of 10 times.

Since Calvin Coolidge was

president in the 1920s, stocks have fallen 5 percent or more in 41 quarters. But that was followed by stock rises over the next three months 29 times — or seven out or 10 times.

• Rises anticipate recoveries.

It is said the stock market looks six months or more in the future, and the S&P data bears this out. Some of the biggest rises come before economic recoveries when unemployment is still high and growth low. For example, the S&P started rising in March last year, at least three months ahead of what many people now believe was the start of the recovery.

The unfortunate corollary: Stocks also anticipate recession. That raises the prospect that the current drop could be signaling a feared double-dip, or back-to-back recessions.

• Read Horace Sure, the Roman poet has been dead 2,000 years but he still offers insight into the market: “The harder you fall, the higher you bounce,” he once wrote. Indeed, in quarters when stocks rose after falling 15 percent or more, the rebound averaged 23 percent.

The median, or the rise halfway between the highest and lowest, was 9 percent.

The big question is

whether this quarter will hold to that pattern.

Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, isn’t convinced. His explanation is a bearish take on the old bullish line during the boom: “This time is different.”

He said that recession often clears out “excesses” of booms such as too much debt.

But a year or so into this recovery, the consumer still owes too much. Consumer debt stands now at $13.5 trillion, or $44,000 per person — a fall from its peak but still more than 120 percent of wages and investment income, according to researcher Portales Partners.

That’s up from 80 percent a decade ago.

Ricchiuto also thinks there are still too many people out of work to expect a strong recovery, and thus a bull market for stocks. He also fears deflation, or a consistent drop in prices. Though rare, deflation can devastate an economy, making it difficult for companies to generate higher revenue and borrowers to pay back their debt. Consumer prices fell in May, the second month in a row of drops.

“When was the last time you were worried about deflation,” said Ricchiuto. He added, “I wouldn’t be buying (stocks). I’m 100 percent cash.”

Doug Roberts, chief investment officer of Channel Capital Research, said this quarter could see a stock market bounce though he suspects it won’t amount to much.

“People thought the government would prime the pump (with stimulus spending) and then we’d have a V-shaped recovery,” he said, referring to a drop in growth followed by a sharp rebound. “But what we’re seeing is that the government IS the recovery.”

Roberts’ prediction: Stocks flat for the rest of the year.

Of course, the market has confounded even overwhelming bearish sentiment. Reflecting the popular notion at the time, Businessweek splashed these famous four words on its cover: “The Death of Equities.” The date was August 1979, just before the start of one of the biggest bull markets in history.

Not to be outdone, Time magazine ran a story in September 1988 titled, “Buy Stocks? No way.” The S&P proceeded to double over the next seven years.

If you’re thinking of buying now, note that the S&P data does include a note of caution notwithstanding its bullish portent. Sometimes those sharp rebounds are followed by sharp falls.

2nd lines are affordable prelude to haute couture PARIS (AP) — The summon of high fashion got a high street prelude on Sunday, as designers fielded spring-summer 2011 collections for their lower-priced second lines on the eve of Paris’ rarified haute couture displays.

British madcap Vivienne Westwood, emerging French designer Anne Valerie Hash and Belgian design duo AF Vandevorst fielded their most commercial, most accessible lines, which were full of casual layered looks in light knits that looked like something someone would actually wear.

Known as Paris Fashion Days, Sunday’s event was aimed at giving the second lines — which have long been seen as ready-to-wear’s ugly stepsister — a high-glamour patina.

“Before, designers were almost embarrassed by their second lines,” said Muriel Piaser, exhibitions director at Pret a Porter Paris, which organized the two-day-long event, held in a marble hall at Paris’ former stock market. “In today’s economic climate, that kind of attitude is no longer possible because the client has changed. Designers are now recognizing that they can use their second lines, with their much lower price points, to promote their top ready-to-wear lines.”

That was the case with Hash, who launched her second line, AVH by Anne Valerie Hash, with a catwalk show at Sunday’s event — instead of fielding a haute couture show later in the week.

“For a small company like us, it wasn’t financially possible to do both,” Hash told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. “We needed a line that would boost the main ready-to-wear line, something inexpensive that would tap into the energy of streetwear.”

She served cuffed shorts

paired with tanks and cardigans and elegant draped pantsuits in feather-light knits. The collection, to be manufactured in Eastern Europe, captured the relaxed Parisian chic that has become the trademark of both Hash’s ready-to-wear and couture lines.

Knitwear was also at the heart of A. Friend, Vandevorst’s lower-priced line. The design duo layered knit tankdresses and cowl-neck sweaters over slouchy, dropcrotched leggings.

For Anglomania, Westwood delivered swingy dresses with waspwaisted bustier-belt hybrids and skintight jeans and sleeveless vests in metallic denim.

Paris Fashion Days will open its doors to the public on Tuesday, with runway shows by smaller, lesserknown labels including Pablo, French label Gerard Darel’s second line.

He doesn’t have body odor and it’s ASK not obvious AMY that he doesn’t bathe, but now that I’m living with him I’ve seen that he sometimes lets as long as four days pass between showers.

I was raised to shower every day and I really find this disgusting.

I’ve tried every way I can think of to persuade him to shower every day — joking, cajoling and being stern. For me, this is a deal breaker.

I realize I shouldn’t have moved in with him and that situation will change soon, but can you help me come up with ways to convince him that he must bathe every day?

— Clean, Not Mean Dear Clean: I’ll point out that the practice of showering or bathing daily is not universal; I assume that people who bathe daily are probably in the minority — in this country and elsewhere.

If you two had a frank conversation about this, your guy might point out that his skin gets yucky if he uses soap too often — or that he is motivated by the thought of saving thousands of gallons of water each

year. (If that’s his reasoning, perhaps you could suggest that you two share your showers.)

Most important, if you are a bathing maniac and yet don’t notice any ill effects of his bathing schedule, then why do you care so much?

And if this is so important to you, couldn’t he compromise and shower more often?

If you declare something to be a deal breaker and he doesn’t cooperate, then it may be time to pack your shampoo and go.

ried about your sons’ welfare.

It’s hard to imagine how staying with him under these circumstances is good for you or your sons.

Continue counseling on your own. Don’t focus on how to get your husband to change. Concentrate on figuring out what you want and develop a strategy for what you will do if he does not change.

Dear Amy: I have been married for 15 years. We have two amazing sons. I just found out that my husband has been having an affair for the last 18 months. I forgive him — but he is not letting his relationship go!

We have been to one session of counseling and he doesn’t want to continue with counseling. He thinks he should be with his girlfriend and with me. Is this the most selfish and disrespectful thing you have ever heard? I can’t live like this.

He says he wants to be free and wants no one to control him. Is it so wrong that I want to know where he is and what he is doing?

I am really working to make my marriage work Dear Been There: Asking again, especially for my chilthe right questions can lead dren. to personal insight. Well Do you have any advice done. for us getting through this rough patch?

EC: Is there a cost?

AB: The subscription is $5 per month, which works out to less than $1.25 per week. I easily save more than that grocery shopping, not to mention the time I don’t spend planning meals.

EC: This seems to be working for you. Why? AB: Now I am much more organized. When one area of my life (such as meal planning) is put together, I’m able to keep the other areas together, as well. It’s one less thing to worry about. I also love that E-mealz has plans that work for any size family. At this point, we only need recipes that feed two adults. As my daughter grows and as we expand our family, I anticipate changing my subscription to a family plan, which will provide recipes that feed four to six people.

EC: Where do you find the coupons you need, or do you really need coupons with Emealz?

AB: E-mealz doesn’t require coupons, which I like.

Most plans are linked to a specific store, so the menus consist of items that are on sale this week. You really only need to use a club card to get the sale prices.

EC: How closely do you

follow the E-mealz menu plan and shopping list?

AB: I follow it as closely as possible. I make substitutions on occasion, depending on taste preferences, but so far everything on the list has turned out really well.

EC: How does your husband feel about these Emealz you’re preparing?

AB: He was a little skeptical at first, but now he is thoroughly enjoying the Emealz menus. Each meal has a main dish and one or two side dishes, so he likes the variety.

EC: Would you recommend E-mealz for other busy families?

AB: Absolutely! I suggest trying out a few of the sample menus on http://emealz.com to determine which plan works best for you.

How do you prepare to attend a job fair if you don’t have traditional “interview” clothing? Here are five tips: • Remember that “less is best.” Take off your piercings and wear one set of earrings (women), and maybe one piece of sensible jewelry.

• Dress sensibly, not like you’re going clubbing. Wear clean, pressed clothing and make sure your shoes are clean and polished.

• Shower or bath before the fair and leave your cologne or perfume for the weekend. Soap and water will suffice.

• Bring copies of your resume, a legal pad, and something to write with. A fresh manila envelope will work fine to carry your supplies.

• Do what others fail to do.

Dear Amy: I used to be the “Frustrated Friend,” the woman whose friend made terrible choices and wouldn’t listen to advice.

I spent hours in conversation with an acquaintance, trying to help her solve her problems.

She listened closely to my advice — and never followed any of it! She felt better after talking, without actually doing anything.

I now try to elicit answers from the person who has the problem: “What do you think might help?” “How will you go about doing that?” “What do you think would happen afterward?” and so on.

People are much more likely to act on their own conclusions than on my advice.

— Been There

Get household help for about $1 a week If the question “What’s for dinner?” fills you with a sense of dread, you should listen in on a conversation I had with my niece Abby Borders, from San Jose, Calif. She’s a former highMARY school HUNT teacher and now a stay-athome mom. She told me about her new personal household assistant, Emealz.

EC: What is E-mealz, and how did you hear about it?

AB: E-mealz is an online service that offers a weekly menu and shopping list to make grocery shopping and cooking a snap. A friend was raving about the meals she was eating all week, so when I asked for the recipes, she directed me to http://emealz.com.

EC: How does it work?

AB: E-mealz offers different kinds of menu plans. We subscribe to the low-fat plan for two. Every week, I go to the E-mealz website and print a two-page document with our meals, ingredients and recipe instructions plus a complete shopping list for my local supermarket.

gruntled with the grocery business and thinking about accounting school. “I’ve got to get out of the A&P,” he said. “It’s driving me nuts.”

It’s difficult to tell when Jim and Boots were married.

She includes several items from Washington, such as 1927 programs for the Fox Theatre and a train exhibit in Baltimore suggesting she was either visiting Jim or already hitched to him.

They definitely spent their early years of marriage back in Salisbury, living at 527 W. Liberty St., in a house next to Jim’s parents.

By 1937, they had moved.

Boots kept letters from her brothers that were mailed to her, care of Bell Telephone in Gastonia.

I spoke with Dick Earnhardt at Carpet Deals & More on Wednesday afternoon to tell him someone — almost a dozen years later — was writing about the book bought at an auction.

He said he had dropped it off at Rose’s desk one day when she was out of the office. They talked briefly about it later, but a story never emerged.

I took everything to the breakroom where I could spread things out on a bigger table. For the next hour, I turned the pages and read the letters to learn more about the early adult life of its owner, Beulah “Boots” Graham.

She belonged to the Class of 1926, the first to graduate from the new Boyden High School (today’s Salisbury High).

“Our new high school is one of the most up-to-date, modern equipped school buildings of the state,” Boots wrote on one of the first pages.

The 1926 Class Motto was “Play the game fair and square.”

My favorite school cheer: Boom-a-lacka, boom-alacka Bow, wow, wow.

Chicka-lacka, chicka-lacka chow, chow, chow.

Booma-lacka, chicka-lacka, who are we?

Salisbury High School, yessiree.

Based on a commencement program folded into the memory book, the Class of 1926 had 71 members.

Reading one of these books takes some minor investigative work to determine names, connections and whereabouts. Even after she graduated, Boots kept filling it with items, such as a newspaper clipping marking the 1927 death of Boyden High Principal Frank B. John, who at 28 failed to report to school one morning.

His body was found later, lying in the bathtub of a house where he roomed on South Fulton Street. The coroner said it was a heart attack, and the Post reported every detail of the body’s position in the tub.

“The soap dish on the side of the tub and close to the head had not even been dislodged,” the newspaper noted.

Boots’ photographs show her to be an attractive girl, flirtatious and funny. She also was quite romantic, filling several pages of the book with love poems.

Her true love turned out to be James Fisher, whose pictures also dominate the book. James, a Salisbury boy who was not a member of Boots’ class, went off to the Bliss Electrical School in Washington, D.C., graduating from there in 1928.

I think it started some kind of Washington connection for Boots’ family. Her younger brothers, Carl and Mason, ended up working there and marrying girls from that area.

When Carl was single and recently graduated from Boyden, he wrote a letter to Jim and Boots from Washington saying he was dis-

was in it,” Earnhardt said.

So that’s where this story ends, except that I stumbled across a Christmas gift tag Boots had stuck between the pages of her book — probably from her first holiday as a married woman. “From your Jim,” it said. “To the most precious little wife in all the world. May we have many, many more Christmases together and always love each other as we do.”

Chicka-lacka, chicka-lacka, Jim was a romantic, too.

Church.

“I thought it was very inspirational,” Miller said.

She said the patriotic program, which included a musical tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, fits in the church setting.

“Our servicemen died for our freedom, and Christ died for our salvation,” she said.

Hales, who has narrated the program for several years, said the blending of religion and patriotism in the program doesn’t bother him, either.

“We need to blend them more,” Hales said. “This nation has a foundation in religion.”

The Salisbury resident said narrating the program means a lot to him, and the music inspires him and touches his heart.

“It’s very hard not to get choked up about it, because I’m a very, very strong patriot,” Hales said. “I believe in this country.”

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — State prison officials are investigating reports that a fundraiser at the Nevada State Prison featured scantily clad female band members and a motorcycle that was brought into the yard for inmate pictures.

Nevada Department of Corrections spokeswoman Suzanne Pardee says the agency’s inspector general’s office is interviewing staff to find out what happened during the June 26 barbecue and fundraiser hosted by the Vietnam Veterans of America. It was unclear what the event was raising money for, and a message left Sunday at the Vietnam Veterans of America state headquarters wasn’t immediately returned.

A copy of the minutes from a Tuesday prison staff meeting referred to the barbecue as a “fiasco.” The minutes say the band members wore appropriate attire to enter the prison but later changed.

The Nevada State Prison is a medium security prison and houses about 700 inmates.

Salisbury Post MY TURN: Ty Cobb Jr.

EDITOR

Oh, really?

What a country!

T

Taxes are price we pay as citizens Regarding Richard Roberts’ June 30 letter (“Taxation a form of involuntary servitude?”): To begin with, let me refer readers to Leonard Pitts’ column in the Friday Post. Mr. Pitts points out the proclivity of the Tea Party and their fellow travelers to make absolute statements beginning with “We all know” or something similar, without a shred of evidence that it is either true, or that everyone agrees. Tea Partiers and their fellow travelers tend to be long on unsubstantiated claims and short on evidence or facts.

Now to Mr. Roberts’ claim of “involuntary servitude.” What does Mr. Roberts think taxes are? Some arbitrary overcharging with nothing in return?

Would he like to get rid of all taxes, or just the ones he doesn’t want to pay?

Taxes are the price we pay for this country. Our government is not a monarchy, but a democratically elected one. Mr. Roberts may not like his Representatives in Congress, but he has a chance to retire them on a regular basis. If he hasn’t done that, then maybe his neighbors simply don’t agree with him.

We are no more “indentured servants” of the government than we are prisoners of the oil companies or supermarkets or anyone else. We all have a choice to live here in the United States, to choose our gasoline supplier, our supermarket and so forth. If Mr. Roberts and his fellow travelers don’t like that arrangement no one is holding them prisoner; they are free to go elsewhere.

If Mr. Roberts simply doesn’t like how government spends our money, why doesn’t he say so, and tell us what to cut? Defense (about 35 percent of spending)?

Social Security (another 38)?

Paying interest on the debt ( just 5 percent)? Where does he want to cut?

I’ve been in other countries, plenty of them, and I’ll stay here and pay the price of that privilege.

— John P. Burke Salisbury

Good education is the foundation My friend Greg Bogard sent me this outstanding reference for removing a tick: http://www. biosci.ohio-state.edu/~acarolog/ needham/tickgone.htm.

I believe it makes for an easy reference for all of us to understand. I certainly hope none of us ever has to use it. However, both the Boy Scouts and doing something my parents would not have approved of taught me to be prepared.

Thank you, Greg. Should you come across equally informative information on how to remove elected representatives of Americans that do not fulfill the obligations of their positions, I would greatly appreciate receiving it. For example: If I understand the article in the July 2 Salisbury Post, our “beloved governor” is not sending the $900,000 owed to Rowan County from lottery ticket sales for Rowan’s educational needs. I need to find a lawyer to tell me if I have standing in a court and which court. If I do have standing and the governor and the legislature have a legal obligation not to play with such funds, I will be very busy for the next few months.

Without an adequate education, none of us would have been able to enjoy life as much as we have enjoyed it.

Forget the fact that our incomes are higher because of education.

Our enjoyment of everything in life has been greater because of our education.

The New York University system has a motto, as I remember, that states: “Let each become all they are capable of being.” That is the core of my being.

Reviewing my personal background: I could not have achieved the enjoyment of life without parents, a sibling, various people, community, teachers, elected representatives at several levels, scholarships, appropriate funding of educational

Medicare cuts imperil care The United States has the greatest health care delivery system in the world. However, this will change if our U.S. senators reduce the amount Medicare pays to doctors by more than 21 percent. While Medicare now pays about 26 cents on the dollar to doctors, a reduction of 21 percent would cause major problems in the current system.

I recently talked with two doctors, one of whom has an 85 percent Medicare enrollment.

This doctor indicated she would have to terminate her private practice of more than 20 years and go to work for some other health care provider. The other doctor said he would have to drop nursing homes and would be unable to take any new Medicare patients. He stated he would have to reduce his staff because he could not afford a 21 percent loss in payments.

I urge fellow citizens to call their senators. Senator Burr’s phone number is 1-800-685-8916 and Senator Hagen’s phone number is 1-877-852-9462. Each

call will take about two minutes.

Writing is OK, but it takes 16 days before it reaches the office concerned, since all mail is screened due to the anthrax scare.

The future of our health care system depends on good doctors, and as we age, the need will be even greater. Remember, if you are enrolled in Medicare, you may not be able to access a different doctor.

Support Cook for Rowan D.A. On this most important holiday to our nation, I want to take the time as a veteran to request that other veterans support Brandy Cook for District Attorney. After a 24-year distinguished career in the U.S. Army, and now as a K-9 police officer, I can honestly say that Brandy Cook possesses the traits and qualities of a true leader.

Whether I was on a small airfield on the island of Grenada, the jungles of Panama, mountains of

“The truth shall make you free”

Afghanistan or palaces in Iraq, I have had numerous opportunities to personally observe and take part in true leadership. Being hand-selected to teach the next generation of leaders with the ROTC program at Clemson University, I understand the challenges that she will face in this position. Knowing her personally, I’m certain Brandy Cook has the determination, discipline, dedication and professionalism to execute the duties of the Rowan County district attorney and take the position to a new level.

Brandy Cook will never shirk her responsibilities, develop a sense of entitlement or use her position for personal gain. She will always look at both sides of an issue and choose the course that is legal, moral and ethical.

As a military leader, I understand professional organizations revolve around standards. As an Assistant district attorney, Brandy Cook maintained one of the highest conviction rates and was known for being tough on crime. She has always held herself to the highest standards and gained the respect of fellow prosecutors, judges, law enforcement officers and defense attorneys.

In conclusion, if you want someone who has the experience, passion, and determination to the lead the county in the right direction, you need to vote for Brandy Cook. I would encourage all veterans to support Brandy Cook for District Attorney and vote for her on Nov. 2, 2010.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.”

— Dwight D. Eisenhower

wo months ago my wife and I took a few days to motor over to Myrtle Beach to play a little golf and relax. Fortunately, we enjoyed good weather. One bright morning we went to breakfast at a new franchise restaurant we had noted on Business 17, “Hot Stacks.”

The place was clean and neat, and the food was great and relatively inexpensive. But, that is not the real topic of this little piece. That would be our waiter.

He was very polished, clean and attentive. After we ordered and began eating, my wife said she felt that he was foreign, maybe Russian. (We had run into two Russian teenagers working at Fudrucker’s hamburger place the previous summer.) So, we decided to ask him.

When he came by to check on us, we asked him. He immigrated to America three years ago from Serbia. Asked him if he learned English in Serbia, because he spoke so well. Answer was, “No, in Serbia we had to learn Russian.”

I asked him how he learned to speak English with hardly an accent.”I taught myself by watching American Ty Cobb TV with sub-titles.”

Jr. lives in Hello out there !

Rockwell.

We talked for a short while, then I asked him, after being here for three years, what in his eyes was the best thing and worst thing about America.

He was quick to answer.

The best thing is the amount of freedom individuals have in every facet of life. If you are willing to work hard, it is easy to find a job and take care of yourself. (And, this answer in the midst of our ongoing recession with high unemployment !)

And the worst thing is that American families do not seem to stick close together as they do in Serbia. Young people in America seem to leave home or the near vicinity too early and become so into themselves that family bonds seem to fade out, then vanish. In Serbia, youth stay near home for several years, and there are many joyous family gatherings and everyone supports each other.

We were “wowed” by his quick, tothe-point observations!

As I travel my senior years, I often reflect on my life, and my family always seems to be at the top of my thought list. I recall one Easter Sunday many years ago while visiting my parents in Oklahoma observing a huge gathering of folks at the home across the street. At that time, and obviously now, I thought, “Gee, my family never really does that very often. What a warm feeling those folks must get.”

Admittedly, like me, my other two siblings were in the military, so that played some part in keeping Cobb family gatherings to a minimum. And, the result is that even though “blood is thicker than water,” we tended to drift apart. I yearn for such family reveling, and as I grow (really) older I find myself diligently trying to make it happen.

America’s fast paced lifestyle is likely the major factor causing families to drift apart. Intentions are always good, but the pace so fast, that before we know it, we are old and cannot regain opportunities lost. Let this “stranger” from a distant and very different land instill in us the urgency we need to keep our family ties strong and meaningful. We gotta work it !

Our young waiter is one who saw the “land of opportunity” and through a desire to improve his lot in life and a willingness to work hard is realizing the “American dream.” He has been there — done that. He is paying his dues. He is an example to our citizens who want everything handed to them on a platter. Opportunities are there, but they must be earnestly sought.

Ringo Star sang to us, “it don’t come easy.” Few things in life are really worth anything, unless you have had to work for them.

Who knows? Our waiter’s work ethic may see him the founding CEO of a new highly successful business in the near future. How about you?

Oil cleanup crews have more trouble with high waves

NEW YORK (AP) — A Japanese eating champion who sat out this year’s Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog contest apparently couldn’t resist the temptation to hotdog afterward.

Competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gobbled his way to a fourth consecutive championship Sunday.

Chestnut downed 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes to win the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, CHESTNUT televised live on ESPN. But he was suddenly upstaged by the surprise appearance of his biggest rival — six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who did not compete but crashed the stage after Chestnut’s win and wrestled with police.

“Let him eat! Let him eat!” the crowd chanted as police handcuffed the world’s No. 3 professional eater, dubbed “The Tsunami.”

The 32-year-old Kobayashi did not eat this year because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating — the fast food equivalent of the NFL. On his Japanese-language blog, he said he wanted to be free to compete in contests sanctioned by other groups.

But a few days ago, he told Japan’s Kyodo News: “I really want to compete in the event.”

Kobayashi, wearing a black T-shirt that said “Free Kobi,” mingled with the crowd watching the contest, standing inside a police-barricaded pen just under the stage. When the eating ended, he slipped up the stage stairs.

Then, several security officers appeared and tried to usher him off. He grabbed a metal police barricade with both hands. Finally, they dragged him down the stairs.

He was under arrest Sunday afternoon, charged with resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration.

Chestnut said he was disappointed with his performance, despite claiming the bejeweled, mustard-yellow belt plus a $20,000 purse. The 26-year-old from San Jose, Calif., was aiming for a record 70 dogs in 10 minutes, beating his own record of 68 last year. The runner-up was Tim “Eater X” Janus, with a total of 45. Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti came in third with 37 dogs.

Petraeus says, ‘We are in this to win’ as he takes over KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — “We are in this to win,” Gen. David Petraeus said Sunday as he took the reins of an Afghan war effort troubled by waning support, an emboldened enemy, government corruption and a looming commitment to withdraw troops even with no sign of violence easing.

Petraeus, who pioneered the counterinsurgency strategy he now oversees in Afghanistan, has just months to show progress in turning back insurgents and convince both the Afghan people and neighboring countries that the U.S. is committed to preventing the country from again becoming a haven for al-Qaida and its terrorist allies.

“We are engaged in a contest of wills,” Petraeus said as he accepted the command of U.S. and NATO forces before several hundred U.S., coalition and Afghan officials who gathered on a grassy area outside NATO headquarters in Kabul.

Petraeus, widely credited with turn-

ing around the U.S. war effort in Iraq, said the Taliban and their allies are killing and maiming civilians — even using “unwitting children to carry out attacks” — in an attempt to undermine public confidence in the Afghan government and the international community’s ability to prevail.

“In answer, we must demonstrate to the people and to the Taliban that Afghan and international forces are here to safeguard the Afghan people, and that we are in this to win,” Petraeus said on the Fourth of July, U.S. Independence Day.

Biden urges fast transition; suicide bombers hit twice BAGHDAD (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden urged rival Iraqi politicians to end months of delays and select new leaders for their wobbly democracy, predicting a peaceful transition of power even as suicide bombers struck government centers in two major cities.

The attacks in Mosul and Ramadi underscored persistent fears that insurgents will exploit Iraq’s political uncertainty to stoke widespread sectarian violence. Four people were killed and 25 injured in the two blasts that occurred hundreds of miles apart.

The twin explosions on the Fourth of July illustrated the vexing nature of the U.S. involvement in Iraq and its efforts to nudge the country toward stability and democracy.

At least five mortar rounds also fell in the Green Zone late Sunday when Biden was there, said Iraqi police officials. The Green Zone is the sprawling protected area in the heart of Baghdad that is home to the U.S. Embassy as well as the Iraqi parliament and prime minister’s office.

There were no reported casualties, said the officials, who did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. Mortars and rockets are periodically fired into the Green Zone but rarely result in casualties or damage.

Interim president likely winner in Polish election WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Interim president Bronislaw Komorowski appeared to have held off a last-minute surge from the identical twin brother of the late president, who died in an April plane crash that shocked the country and forced Sunday’s early election.

Exit polls showed Komorowski with a slight edge over Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who essentially conceded defeat in the presidential run-off by declaring before supporters, “I congratulate the winner.”

A poll released Sunday by the TNS OBOP institute predicted Komorowski winning 53.1 percent of the vote, and Kaczynski winning 46.9 percent. A separate poll, by Millward Brown SMG/KRC, shows Komorowski with nearly 52 percent and Kaczynski with just over 48 percent.

The exit polls have a small margin of error, and official results are not expected until Monday.

Komorowski, who wants to smooth the way for the government to continue privatizing state-run companies and trim welfare benefits, didn’t formally claim victory, noting that the votes were still being counted.

Mexico’s old ruling party seeks momentum in elections CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — More than a dozen Mexican states held

elections Sunday after campaigning besieged by assassinations and scandals that displayed drug cartels’ power. The party that ruled Mexico for 71 years hoped to capitalize on frustrations over the bloodshed and gain momentum in its bid to regain the presidency in two years.

The elections for 12 governors, 14 state legislatures and mayors in 15 states are the biggest political challenge yet for the government of President Felipe Calderon, who is deploying troops and federal police to wrest back territory from drug traffickers.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party, which held on to power for seven decades through a system of largess and corruption that many considered a quasi-dictatorship, has recovered popularity amid frustration with Mexico’s surging drug gang violence.

The party, known as the PRI, held up the assassination of its gubernatorial candidate in the northern state of Tamaulipas as evidence Calderon has failed to bring security despite the presence of tens of thousands of troops in drug trafficking hot spots.

Leaders of Calderon’s conservative National Action Party, in turn, have insinuated the PRI protects drug traffickers in Tamaulipas, the birthplace of the Gulf cartel, and in the northern state of Sinaloa, the cradle of the cartel by the same name.

Prime land in Grand Teton Park could go up for auction MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) — For Sale: Two square miles of Grand Teton National Park.

Majestic views of the Teton Range.

Prime location for luxury resort, home development. Pristine habitat for moose, elk, wolves, grizzlies.

Price: $125 million. Call: Gov. Dave Freudenthal.

Wyoming is trying to force the Interior Department to trade land, minerals or mineral royalties for 1,366 acres it owns within the majestic park.

If the foot-dragging feds don’t agree to a deal — soon — Freudenthal threatens to put a “for sale” sign out.

Wyoming has owned the land since statehood in 1890, when the federal government set aside land in new Western states to be mined, logged or leased to raise money for public education. Wyoming kept its socalled “school sections” after Grand Teton National Park was established in 1950.

Naked man falls asleep in home 20 miles from his own SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego resident awoke to a shocking discovery: a naked stranger passed out on his downstairs sofa.

San Diego police Lt. Jim Filley says the Pacific Beach homeowner called police after wandering downstairs Sunday morning and finding the snoring man.

Filley says the naked man was drunk and thought he was in his own home in Mission Valley, some 20 miles away.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, had taken off his clothes outside the house and walked in through the unlocked front door.

The homeowner declined to press charges. And since the intruder had sobered up, he was released to find his own way home.

Air ambulance crash kills all five who were on board in western Texas ALPINE, Texas (AP) — An air ambulance crashed shortly after takeoff from a western Texas airport Sunday, killing all five people on board.

The crash happened about 12:15 a.m. about a mile east of Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport, about 200 miles southeast of El Paso. The twin-engine Cessna 421 had

just taken off for Midland International Airport in Midland, when it went down in an open area, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The aircraft was carrying a patient and his wife to Midland, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. It identified the dead as 78-year-old patient Guy Richard Folger

of Alpine, his 59-year-old wife, Mary Folger; two flight nurses, 49-year-old Sharon Falkener of Fort Davis, and 42-year-old Tracy Chambers of Alpine; and 59-year-old pilot Ted Caffarel of Beaumont.

Caffarel was apparently trying to make an emergency landing when the plane hit a rut in the muddy field, overturned and burned, the DPS

said.

The FAA listed the aircraft as registered to O’Hara Flying Service II LP of Amarillo. Company owner Denny O’Hara declined to comment to the Associated Press.

The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Corey said.

A police officer takes photos of a downed sign after two horses got loose and trampled people at a Fourth of July parade in Bellevue, Iowa, on Sunday.

Horses break loose at parade; 1 dies, 23 hurt BELLEVUE, Iowa (AP) — Two runaway horses pulling a wagon trampled spectators at a small-town Fourth of July parade, killing a 60-year-old woman and injuring at least 23 other people, four critically.

The horses bolted after one rubbed its head against the other, removing that horse’s bridle, police said. They galloped for several blocks with the wagon in tow, trampling parade-goers. The wagon flipped and ejected its two passengers, police said.

Among those injured were children who had stooped in the street to pick up candy.

Sandie Crilly, 46, of Willow Springs, Ill., said she was collecting Tootsie Rolls from the street with her 8-year-old son, 12-year-old niece and 2-yearold granddaughter when the horses ran toward them about halfway through the parade.

Someone yelled to get out of the way, she said.

“I could see it was two horses,” Crilly said. “I could see they were running at full speed and they were harnessed together and I knew we were going to most certainly get hit, and as soon as it happened, everybody was crying and screaming.”

Crilly, who was visiting her parents in Bellevue, said someone pulled her grand-

daughter to safety, but her niece’s left wrist was broken and her two front teeth were knocked out.

Four people remained hospitalized in critical condition, five others were seriously hurt and 14 others sustained minor injuries, police said.

The parade is a decadeslong tradition in Bellevue, a town of about 2,300 people on the Iowa-Illinois border.

“The mood is shock and disbelief,” Bellevue Mayor Virgil Murray said. “We’ve had this parade forever.

We’ve had horses in the parade forever.”

Arrest adds twist to hot dog eating contest

er closer than 500 miles or so to the spill.

On Sunday, huge barges used to collect oil from skimming vessels were parked at the mouth of Mobile Bay, waiting for conditions to subside as waves rose to about 5 feet high miles offshore.

The current spate of bad weather is likely to last, according to the National Weather Service. “This should remain fairly persistent through the next few days, and maybe get a little worse,” meteorologist Mike Efferson said.

On the shore, beach cleanup crews were making progress on new oil that washed up thanks to the high tides.

In Grand Isle, about 800 people were removing tar balls and liquid oil from the beach, Coast Guard Cmdr.

Randal Ogrydziak said.

“In a day or two, you wouldn’t be able to tell the oil was even there,” he said.

Six-time hot dog eating contest champion Takeru Kobayashi, center right, is taken into custody Sunday after he jumped on stage at the end of the hot dog eating contest in New Yorks Coney Island.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Cleanup crews across the Gulf of Mexico surveyed damage done by last week’s hurricane while contending Sunday with choppy seas that idled many of the boats dedicated to keeping oil from hitting vulnerable beaches and marshes.

Offshore skimming vessels were able to operate in Louisiana waters, but not off the coasts of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, officials said.

“We’ve got our guys out there and they’re docked and ready, but safety is a huge concern for us, especially with the smaller vessels,” said Courtnee Ferguson, a spokeswoman for the Joint Information Command in Mobile, Ala. The offshore skimming in those states has essentially been curtailed for nearly a week, thanks to weather generated earlier by Hurricane Alex, even though it was nev-

A Sea Turtle Story

A Quality Serials Story

Lolly was always very careful when she was around Pancake. Sea turtles have no teeth, but they have sharp, powerful beaks that can bite. But Lolly had received training at the hospital. She knew about sea turtles and the proper way to handle them. Still, Pancake never tried to bite Lolly!

Eventually, Pancake didn’t require bandages anymore. She was truly making progress. Things seemed to be going very well––until one day Lolly noticed something wrong.

“Jan, come here, please,” Lolly’s voice was full of concern.

“Something’s wrong with Pancake. She doesn’t seem to be using one of her flippers!”

“That really wasn’t the situation that we wanted to be in,” said Harvick, also the winner at Talladega in April. “I wanted to be behind him and be able to push him because it was looking pretty good for us, then that caution came out and

we had to split up because of the double-file restarts. I helped him as much as I could, then we got split up and (Kahne and Gordon) split (Bowyer) and then that was it.”

Kahne was second in a Ford, followed by Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Burton in Chevrolets.

“If you come home with a top five at a restrictor-plate race, you ought to skip all the way home,” Burton said.

Earnhardt, who wasn’t good most of the race, seem-

ingly lucked into the top-five finish but it was enough to move him into eligibility for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He’s 11th in the standings.

The start of the race was delayed almost 90 minutes by rain, and a 19-car accident with 12 laps to go stopped the action another 20 minutes.

Kyle Busch had a wild night: a loose wheel early in the race forced him to give up the lead, and after driving his way back to the front, contact

with Juan Pablo Montoya while leading ended his night.

Mark Martin had to be pulled from fire by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson’s crew members, and AJ Allmendinger had a heated conversation with boss Richard Petty after he wrecked out of the race.

Then there was Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch, who exchanged words after the finish but the topic was drowned out by the booming post-race fireworks.

It was all just par for the course, it seemed, at Daytona.

“I’m starting to get used to the fact that every race we go to is basically bumper cars at 190 mph,” Gordon said. “When it comes down to the end, you pretty much know that it’s not going to end like that, that you’re going to have cautions and double-file restarts. It’s just hold on tight.”

Edwards finished sixth and was followed by Kurt Busch, Reed Sorenson, Mike Bliss and Scott Speed.

NADAL FROM 1B

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Along with Maverick Miles, left, Randy Shepherd (24) has helped lead South to its best Legion season ever.

SHEPHERD FROM 1B saw no game action for ASU, partly due to the experienced talent on hand and partly due to health issues. Shepherd has spent two years dealing with arm discomfort.

He was limited to 171⁄3 innings his senior year at West Rowan. He had a great fourinning relief stint at midseason to beat East Rowan at Staton Field (one run, seven Ks), but that was the last time he pitched in high school. Then he was limited to 12 Legion innings before heading to Boone.

Most of Shepherd’s prep highlights came at Carson. He won six games as a junior for the Cougars with a 1.73 ERA and

66 strikeouts, while batting .344.

He hopes to repeat numbers like that at CVCC, a second-year program that debuted with a 31-20 record under former Lenoir-Rhyne coach Frank Pait.

“I’m excited about signing with them,” Shepherd said. “I’ll be living with Brett Huffman (who’s transferring from Catawba), and it looks like I could be the No. 1 guy for a very good team. They’ve also told me I’ll get a chance to swing the bat this fall to show them what I can do.”

Shepherd, who reports to CVCC Aug. 16, realized he probably wasn’t going to see the mound often at ASU in 2011.

“The App coaches were all for me doing this,” he said. “I just want to show them that I’m healthy. Hopefully, they’ll have a scholarship for me down the road.”

With eight Grand Slam titles, Nadal joins a list of greats that includes Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry and Ken Rosewall. He also has five French Open championships and one Australian Open title.

All that’s missing for a career Grand Slam is the U.S. Open title.

“For sure the U.S. Open is going to be one of my goals for the rest of my career,” Nadal said. “But right now (my goal) is to enjoy the beach, fishing, golf, friends, party, and Mallorca.”

Nadal posed with the trophy in the clubhouse next to the green board with his name already etched as the 2010 winner. He cradled the trophy under his left arm as he signed autographs outside the members’ entrance, where hundreds of fans gathered to see him.

Nadal is the first Spanish man to win Wimbledon twice. Manolo Santana took the title in 1966.

“For the Spanish players for the last 40 years it was very difficult to play here,” Nadal said. “We are doing better right now. We are very satisfied for that.”

In a match short on drama and spectacular points, played in windy conditions, Nadal beat Berdych for the seventh straight time — a span covering 17 consecutive sets.

Berdych was playing in his first Grand Slam final and was the first Czech to reach the Wimbledon final since Ivan Lendl in 1987.

He had beaten top-seeded Federer and No. 3 Novak Djokovic en route to the final, but couldn’t find a way to take out the secondseeded Nadal as well.

Nadal won all the big points against the 24year-old Czech, who failed to convert any of his four break points.

“He was strong,” Berdych said. “I think the biggest difference between us was that when he got a chance, he just took it. He gave

SERENAS BESTSHOT

WIMBLEDON, England — As a kid, 13 Grand Slam titles ago, Serena Williams tended to goof off when it came time to work on serves.

She was supposed to hit them at the end of practice sessions with her sister Venus.

“We always talked a lot,” Serena said. “I don’t remember serving; I just remember talking. Lord knows what we were talking about, but we never stopped talking, unless my dad was looking at us. Then we would serve. Then when he wasn’t looking, we would just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.”

Despite all the chitchat, Serena learned from her father the shot that served her well at Wimbledon. She hit a record 89 aces and won the title for the fourth time, beating Vera Zvonareva in Saturday’s final.

Williams said she planned to award the trophy to her serve.

“It’s well deserved,” she said. “I just really hope I can keep up serving like this. It’s a new turn in my life.”

This time, Rose doesn’t blow it Associated Press

The golf roundup ...

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Clinging to a one-shot lead, Justin Rose stood over his tee shot on the 18th hole at the AT&T National when he heard fireworks in the distance. The celebration had started somewhere in Philadelphia, just not Aronimink.

Rose knew that from experience.

Only a week ago in the Travelers Championship, he took a three-shot lead into the final round and collapsed on the back nine for a 75. On Sunday at Aronimink, he was five shots clear going to the back nine and found himself in a battle he didn’t expect.

He lost another big lead.

This time, he didn’t lose the tournament.

Rose hit every green in regulation on the back nine, including the final one, and closed with seven straight pars

for an even-par 70 to win for the second time in three starts on the PGA Tour.

The relief at the Memorial came from winning for the first time in America.

The relief at Aronimink was for learning not to lose.

“I knew having not closed out last week it was important for me — just for myself — to do it today,” Rose said after his one-shot victory over hardcharging Ryan Moore. “Still, it’s never easy to close these things out, I’ll tell you.”

He sure made it hard on himself.

Staked to a five-shot lead at the turn after a 5-wood to tap-in range for eagle on the ninth hole, Rose had three-putt bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes — after having gone 274 holes without one on the PGA Tour — and just like that, the game was on.

Moore one-putted his last eight greens, including a 12foot par putt on the 18th hole,

for a Sunday-best 65 to make Rose work to the very end.

• BLAINVILLE, Quebec — Larry Mize won the inaugural Montreal Championship for his first Champions Tour victory, closing with an 8-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over John Cook at Fontainebleau Golf Club.

The 51-year-old Mize, the 1987 Masters champion, had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in the final round to finish at 17-under 199.

Cook shot a 68.

• VERSAILLES, France — Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain won the French Open for his second victory of the season and 17th career European tour title, beating countryman Alejandro Canizares and Italy’s Francesco Molinari in a playoff.

• SYLVANIA, Ohio — Na Yeon Choi made a 21⁄2-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic.

NEW YORK — From Cleveland to Chicago, South Florida to the New York area, it was a mostly quiet Fourth of July in the NBA. The real fireworks could come next week.

With LeBron James and other big names taking time to ponder their futures, the free agent market was in many ways on hold for the holiday.

Once they reach their conclusions, things will start to heat up again.

“I’m sure everyone is ready to get a decision going,” Dwyane Wade told Chicago’s NBC-Channel 5.

Wade said he planned to use the weekend to think after meeting twice with the Bulls, plus getting visits from the Knicks and Nets. He’s scheduled to be at a charity function outside Miami on Tuesday, but it would be surprising if he used that event to announce his plans, because it’s believed he will not have had his formal sitdown with Heat present Pat Riley until later in the week.

James was expected to spend the holiday relaxing at his Bath, Ohio, home with family and friends. It will be a chance to catch his breath after a whirlwind three days during which six teams gave him reasons why he should continue his career wearing a new No. 6 jersey in their colors.

Not surprisingly, the Cavaliers’ pitch focused on his allegiance and loyalty to

home, and included a video presentation that included highlights from James’ seven seasons in Cleveland and testimonials from fans asking him to stay in Northeast Ohio. The team posted a portion of the video on its website on Sunday.

Beyond his decision, James has a busy week ahead. He is hosting a Nike camp at Akron University, where he recently accepted his second straight MVP award and was honored by the city with a day of appreciation in an outdoor event at the school’s football stadium.

It’s possible James could announce his decision in his hometown during or following the camp, which will feature some of the nation’s top high school players.

Besides the Cavs, the other teams anticipating word from James are Chicago, Miami, New Jersey, New York and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Some of them spent the past two seasons clearing around $30 million of salary cap space so they could afford to sign James and another marquee free agent.

Now they’re asking him to walk away from $30 million, roughly the difference between a six-year deal to stay in Cleveland and the five-year contract the competitors can offer him under the collective bargaining agreement.

The messages on lebronjames.com are simple: “Getting closer” and “You’ll be the first to know.”

Advisor: Nowitzki staying in Dallas Associated Press

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki is sticking with the Dallas Mavericks.

Next question: Will he and Jason Kidd be able to lure anyone to join them?

Nowitzki’s adviser, Holger Geschwindner, told The Associated Press late Saturday night that Nowitzki and Mavs owner Mark Cuban have agreed “to get it done.” Teams and free agents can strike deals at any time, but can’t sign them until Thursday.

According to a person familiar with negotiations, the deal is for more than $80 million over four years, with a notrade clause.

“I think it’s a great deal,” Geschwindner said. “We’re pumped.”

The deal was first reported by ESPN. The 2007 NBA MVP has spent his entire 12-year career in Dallas. He is the franchise’s career scoring and rebounding leader and has led the Mavs to 10 straight 50-win seasons.

But they haven’t won a title. They’ve won only a single playoff series since blowing a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA finals.

At 32, Nowitzki feels he can remain at an elite level for several more years, and

Cuban certainly agrees.

Although Dallas lacks the salary cap room to sign the big names, the club has all sorts of desirable pieces piled up to make sign-and-trade deals. Nowitzki helped free up some money by NOWITZKI not pushing for his maximum deal, which would’ve been $96 million.

JOHNSON STAYS IN ATLANTA ATLANTA — All-Star guard Joe Johnson has agreed to a maximum contract to stay with the Hawks, his agent said.

Arn Tellem confirmed an entry he wrote for the Huffington Post website, in which he said Johnson “announced his intention to re-sign with the Hawks for six more years.”

Tellem wrote that Johnson chose to remain in Atlanta over Chicago and New York, where he would have been reunited with Mike D’Antoni, his former coach in Phoenix.

The Hawks could pay him nearly $120 million, while other teams could only give Johnson five years and pay him about $25 million less.

Europe getting last laugh with three teams in semifinals Associated Press

JOHANNESBURG — A week ago, Europe was done, its biggest stars flops, its supremacy in international soccer hijacked by South America.

So much for that.

Europe is back in its traditional power spot at the World Cup, producing three of the four semifinalists and ensuring its streak of having at least one team in the final since 1934 will continue.

The only outsider remaining is Uruguay, and if it loses to the Netherlands on Tuesday, Europe will be guaranteed its first title in a World Cup held outside the continent. Germany plays Spain in the

NFL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vince Young knows exactly how he wants to remember his mentor on the oneyear anniversary of his death.

“I’m going to go out to Momma Mac’s house,” Young said of McNair’s mother. “I’m going to go out there and spend the weekend with Momma Mac in Mississippi. It’s the one-year anniversary of Steve not being here.”

McNair was known for his bluecollar work ethic and ability to play hurt during a 13-year NFL career with Houston/Tennessee and Baltimore. That reputation could be why

people still struggle to accept how he died. McNair, 36, was shot four times, once on each side of the head and twice in the chest, the victim of a murder-suicide by his 20-year-old mistress on the Fourth of July.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. — Will Power won the Camping World Grand Prix at Watkins Glen with a commanding performance, giving Team Penske its first IndyCar Series win at the storied road course.

Penske drivers had won the first five poles at Watkins Glen but had never won.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Changing out of his golf shoes after another frustrating round at Aronimink, Tiger Woods could not think of the last time he failed to finish a regular PGA Tour event without breaking par.

“Maybe a Tour Championship?” he asked.

Not quite. It was 11 years ago at the Bay Hill Invitational when Woods shot par or worse all four rounds, He matched that dubious distinction Sunday in the AT&T National by closing with a 1-over 71, to follow scores of 73-7070.

What sent Woods to Ireland in such good spirits, however, was that he could not remember the last time he drove the ball this well.

He measured that not by any statistics, but by having so much confidence in where it was going that he found himself talking caddie Steve Williams into hitting driver.

Usually it’s the other way around.

He was never a factor as the defending champion of the AT&T National, playing so early that the leaders were just teeing off about the time Woods finished both rounds on the weekend. Even so, Woods didn’t hesitate when asked if he made progress.

“I did,” he said. “I drove it pretty good this week.”

CHICAGO — Drew Stubbs hit three of the Cincinnati Reds’ season-high seven home runs on Sunday to lead a 14-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs.

The Reds had four of the homers during an eight-run seventh inning, all coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly (3-7) retired the first two batters. Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and Jonny Gomes added a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens then surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller, and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time.

He also hit a solo home run in the third inning and another solo shot in the ninth.

Mike Leake (6-1) picked up the victory.

Marlins 3, Braves 2 ATLANTA — Dan Uggla homered and drove in all three Florida runs, Ricky Nolasco pitched seven strong innings and the Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Sunday.

The loss dropped Atlanta’s lead in the NL East to two games over the New York Mets.

Padres 3, Astros 2 SAN DIEGO — Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a bases-loaded single up the middle with one out in the ninth inning to help the Padres take three of four from the struggling Astros.

It was the Padres’ 11th win in their final at-bat at home and their third straight.

Heath Bell (4-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

Dodgers 3, Diamondbacks 1 PHOENIX — Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer off reliever Aaron Heilman in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers went on to beat Arizona 3-1 on Sunday to take two of three from the Diamondbacks.

Drew Stubbs, right, celebrates with teammate Jonny Gomes after hitting his third homer.

Francisco and Arizona to improve to 23-6 against NL West foes overall.

Cardinals 7, Brewers 1 ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright threw a five-hitter and added a three-run double off fellow first-time All-Star Yovani Gallardo, and the Cardinals coasted to an easy win.

Gallardo (8-4) left in the third inning with a side injury, after allowing six runs in his shortest outing of the season. Only one of them was earned.

Mets 9, Nationals 5 WASHINGTON— Jason Bay drove in four runs, Angel Pagan drove in two more and All-Star third baseman David Wright added two hits and scored two runs for the

Mets.

Ike Davis added a two-run homer in the third inning to make a winner of Hisanori Takahashi (7-3).

Pirates 8, Phillies 5 PITTSBURGH — Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young drove in two runs each during a six-run seventh inning, and the last-place Pirates beat the Phillies for the third time in four games.

Rockies 4, Giants 3, 15 innings DENVER — The Rockies blew a threerun lead in the eighth inning Sunday, then watched Todd Helton rescue them with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 15th that gave Colorado a 4-3 win.

Yanks beat Jays on George’s 80th birthday

All-Star hurler hurts side ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo experienced a roller coaster of emotions.

Prior to starting against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, Gallardo was told he’d made his first All-Star team.

Then the 24-year-old right-hander strained a left side muscle in the third inning of a 7-1 loss, and now he isn’t sure when he’ll pitch again.

Gallardo clutched his back after an 0-2 curveball to Tyler Greene. He walked off the field with a member of the training staff and said afterward that the area was still sore.

Gallardo lasted 22⁄3 innings, his shortest of the season. He gave up six runs but only one was earned.

“After I threw that pitch, it just kind of tightened up on me,” he said. “It feels the same now, so we’ll see.”

He’ll be evaluated by team physician Dr. William Raasch on Monday in Milwaukee.

“It’s not a good feeling when you’re walking to the mound and your best guy has a problem,” Macha said.

NEW YORK — One insidethe-park-home run. Two blown leads. Three runners thrown out at the plate. And on the Fourth of July, a pinch-hit single to win it in the 10th inning.

George Steinbrenner got one wild 80th birthday present from his New York Yankees.

“He probably would have been in and out of his seat a few times,” Derek Jeter said.

The Boss, who followed the game from Florida, would have had a happy birthday in the end, though. Pinch-hitter Marcus Thames hit a game-ending sin-

gle in the bottom of the 10th for a 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

Activated off the DL earlier in the day, Thames blooped a hit over the infield and Robinson Cano scored from second.

Mariano Rivera gave up DeWayne Wise’s tying single in the ninth. Earlier, Wise lost a ball in the sun, allowing the Yankees to tie it in the sixth on Brett Gardner’s inside-the-park homer.

Rays 7, Twins 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Evan Longoria had three hits and three RBIs, and Sean Rodriguez homered among his three hits, leading Tampa Bay. Longoria’s

two-run single highlighted a five-run seventh inning for the Rays, who won their first series in nearly a month.

Mariners 8, Tigers 1 DETROIT — Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman each hit a three-run homer, and All-Star Cliff Lee fell an inning short of another complete game.

Lee, who had been trying to match the longest streak in the big leagues since Roy Halladay completed four games in a row in April 2008, allowed a run on nine hits and a walk.

Orioles 6, Red Sox 1 BOSTON — Brian Matusz pitched shutout ball for seven

innings and the Baltimore Orioles picked up their third win in 20 games at Fenway Park.

Athletics 3, Indians 1 CLEVELAND — Vin Mazzaro pitched into the eighth inning and upstaged Cleveland All-Star Fausto Carmona.

White Sox 5, Rangers 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Alexei Ramirez hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth.

Royals-A’s This game wasn’t finished at the Post’s early holiday deadline. The Angels were romping 12-0 late behind Joel Piniero’s pitching and two home runs and seven RBIs by Torii Hunter.

Present Record Owner(s): Andre J Boucher, a married man, joined by his wife Alice M Boucher The terms of the sale are that the real property hereinbefore described will be sold for cash to the highest bidder and that the undersigned may require the successful bidder at the sale to immediately deposit cash or a certified check in an amount equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the high bid or $750.00. In the event that the Owner and Holder is exempt from paying the same, the successful bidder may also be required to pay revenue stamps on the Trustee's Deed, any Land Transfer Tax, and the tax required by N.C.G.S. Section 7A-308 (a) (1).

NOTICE TO OCCUPANTS: 1. That an order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold.

2. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination.

3. Any tenant who resides in residential real property containing less than 15 rental units that is being sold in a foreclosure proceeding under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General Statutes may terminate the rental agreement for the dwelling unit after receiving notice pursuant to G.S. 45-21.17(4) by providing the landlord with a written notice of termination to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days after the date of the notice of sale. Upon termination of a rental agreement under this sections, the tenant is liable for the rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination payable at the time that would have been required by the terms of the rental agreement. The tenant is not liable for any other rent or damages due only to the early termination of the tenancy.

If the Trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons for such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the Trustee(s). The Trustee in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

The sale will be held open for ten (10) days for upset bids as by law required.

Last week, I stressed that declarer should take time before playing from the dummy at trick one. While declarer is thinking, the defenders should also be analyzing the deal. In particular, each should ask himself this question: Where might we get the tricks that we need to defeat the contract?

Also, if declarer plays quickly from the dummy, it is a good idea for third hand to request a time out. He should say something like, “Please wait a moment. I wish to think about the deal.” This also gives his partner a chance to decide how the defense should proceed.

Occasionally third hand’s trick-one play will be critical — as in this deal. You are East, defending against two spades.

West leads the heart ace, playing ace from ace-king. What are your thoughts?

You are expected to make an attitude signal. And with the queen, normally you would encourage by playing your eight.

However, if partner continues hearts, you cannot defeat the contract. When declarer gets in at trick four, he unblocks his diamond ace-king, draws trumps ending in the dummy, and discards two clubs on the diamond queen and 10 to net an overtrick.

If you think for a while, you will see the advantage of a club shift. Signal with your heart two. Partner should work out to lead the club nine at trick two. You win with the jack and lead a low heart to partner’s king for a second club lead.

Today’s celebrity birthdays Actress Shirley Knight is 74. Musician Robbie Robertson is 67. Singer Huey Lewis is 60. Country keyboardist Charles Ventre of River Road is 58. Singer Marc Cohn is 51. Actress Edie Falco is 47. Actress Kathryn Erbe is 45. Rapper RZA is 41.

Singer Joe is 37. Drummer Bengt Lagerberg of The Cardigans is 37. Rapper Bizarre of D12 is 34. Singer Jason Wade of Lifehouse is 30. Musician Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum is 28.

Chronic yeast infection needs better care

Third hand should pause at trick one

Your side will take the first six tricks: three hearts and three clubs.

Always take the dummy and your hand into account when choosing your signal at trick one.

Former Miss California Prejean marries Raiders QB SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former Miss California Carrie Prejean is now Mrs. Kyle Boller, after marrying the Oakland Raiders quarterback at a San Diego resort.

The San Diego Union Tribune says the dethroned beauty queen and the 29-year-old quarterback tied the knot late Friday in a private ceremony at the Grand Del Mar. Among the guests were Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Matt Nordgren.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 70year-old active woman who has had a yeast infection for almost five years. I have gone to several doctors and have been given prescriptions for all of the usual medicines for yeast infections, the latest being DR. PETER Premarin vaginal GOTT cream plus clobetasol propionate cream. All of these prescriptions have worked, but the infection always comes back within two months. The last time the infection was almost to the staph stage.

After my last infection, a biopsy was done. The report said: “Vulvar Biopsy: Ulceration with very severe active chronic inflammation and numerous plasma cells.

A serology for spirochetes was negative.” The microscopic description said: “The skin surface is covered by squamous epithelium which is moderately to extensively eroded. There are superficially dilated capillaries and there is a dense infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the upper dermis.

Warthin-Starry stain is negative with appropriately reacting controls. Immunostain for AE1/AE3 is negative for epithelial component.

Positive and negative controls worked as expected.”

My concern is that the Premarin cream is now making my ankles swell, and my

blood pressure has gone up.

(It is usually normal.) Also, when I call my OB/Gyn, I am no longer asked to come; they simply call in a prescription. I am never told to return for a follow-up and feel that this is because I am on Medicare. So far, this has happened with three separate gynecologists.

Dear Reader: Let’s start with the biopsy report. First, ulceration is easy to understand. This simply means that you have a sore.

Whether it was caused by scratching or something else is unclear. Inflammation means swelling. Again, this could be caused by scratching or the infection itself.

The identification of numerous plasma cells is more telling. These cells are a type of short-lived antibody-producing leukocyte (a type of white blood cell) that binds with a foreign substance (or what the body perceives to be a foreign substance) and then begins to neutralize or destroy it. Lymphocytes are another type of leukocyte and determine the specificity of the immune reaction to foreign substances and infectious agents.

All of this indicates that your body is fighting off an infection of some sort, is incorrectly attacking normal cells, or is overreacting to a substance you have come

into contact with, such as perfumed feminine-hygiene products.

Now, on to what is causing your so-called yeast infection. First, you do not say what symptoms you are experiencing, so I will first review them. These can range from mild to severe and include redness and swelling of the vulva; itching, irritation, pain and/or soreness of the vulva and vagina; a thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge similar in appearance to cottage cheese; and a burning sensation.

Yeasts are typically present within a normal vagina and in most instances do not present problems.

Fireworks help keep Fourth of July thrills alive

Dean Orbison directs the Faith Fourth Choir at Faith Baptist Church during a patriotic program Sunday.

A blending of religion, patriotism in Faith

BY KARISSA MINN

F

aith Baptist Church overflowed with red, white and blue Sunday evening during its Faith Fourth patriotic program.

The program began with a prayer, the pledge, the national anthem and a salute to the U.S. armed forces.

After narrator Karl Hales spoke about the meaning of the pledge of allegiance, a trio of men sang “Under God,” which is about two words that invoke religion in the national vow of patriotism.

Under the direction of Bud and Tomie Troxler Dean Orbishow off their patriotic son, the outfits.

Faith Fourth Choir then sang songs about God and country, including, “In This Very Room,” “I Hear Liberty Singing,” “Danny Boy,” “Climbin’ Up the Mountain,” “In Flanders Field” and “The Scars and

Stripes.”

The final tune, “In Remembrance,” was dedicated to those who have fallen in armed service.

It featured a french horn solo by Jay Hoffman.

Usually, Debbie Smith sings in the Faith Fourth choir, but this year her own church cantata had a conflicting practice schedule.

“I hate that we didn’t get to sing in it this year... but it’s fun to watch it, also,” Smith said.

She said she enjoys Orbison’s directing, as a member of both the choir and the audience.

“He’s got a great style and great patriotism,” she said. “He’s

just got a lot of enthusiasm. He’s fun to sing for.”

Smith has lived in Faith for 30 years. She said Independence Day is “like Christmas” for her family and friends, who come to her house each year to watch the fireworks. (This year, the fireworks display takes place tonight instead of July Fourth.)

Margaret Miller, of Salisbury, said she and her husband, Sammy, come to Faith every year to celebrate Independence Day. This is the first year they attended the patriotic program at Faith Baptist

Tonight’s fireworks: 10:30 p.m. —

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s largest fireworks show lit up the skies in a burst of red, white and blue over the Hudson River straddling New York and New Jersey on Sunday, a scene that was being repeated in hundreds of communities in a sizzling end to a scorching day for much of the U.S. “It’s amazing on TV,” said Marcos Jimenez, a golf caddy who joined thousands of others lining the riverfront for a prime view of the show. “I figured seeing it live would be even better.”

Budget cuts forced some communities to pull the plug on the pyrotechnics, but the gigantic Macy’s fireworks show went on as planned on Manhattan’s West Side, where it moved in 2009 after eight years on the East River.

The show, which aired live on NBC, began just before 9:30 p.m. with huge fireballs exploding in the night sky to the strains of patriotic tunes like “Stars and Stripes Forever” and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”

The shimmering fireworks that streaked across the night sky replaced a blazing sun that broiled nearly everywhere east of the Mississippi with temperatures in the 90s.

In Washington, vendors with stocked coolers hawked “cold,” “ice cold,” and even “super cold” bottles of water along Constitution Avenue as mid-afternoon temperatures reached the mid-90s. There was a long line for watermelon — $3 for a huge wedge — and near the Washington Monument, firefighters and U.S. Park Police officers sprayed hoses into the crowd.

“I just need some AC,” said Brooke Fenske, 16, of Elgin, Minn. Fenske, in town for a 4-H trip, said it doesn’t get this

hot in her home state.

On Brooklyn’s Coney Island, American Joey Chestnut won the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest for the fourth straight year, but one of his biggest rivals tried to crash the celebration and was taken into custody. (See story on Page 11A.) In Washington, thousands gathered on the National Mall were treated to 17 minutes of fireworks, shot off behind the Washington Monument.

The Obama family celebrated the holiday by hosting members of the military and their families for a barbecue, concert and a view of fireworks on the South Lawn of the White House.

“Michelle and I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate America’s birthday than with America’s extraordinary men and women in uniform and their families,” President Barack Obama told the guests.

Festivities in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, will conclude today after 11 days of parades and concerts. The Goo Goo Dolls were headlining a free concert Sunday night, followed by a fireworks show.

In California, one of the largest fireworks displays was at the Rose Bowl, where crews spread fire retardant on the nearby hillsides to prevent sparks from igniting brush fires.

Tragedy at parade

Two injured in shooting A shooting early Saturday morning in Salisbury left two men wounded.

Sgt. T.J. Crews of the Salisbury Police Department said Sunday evening that it was not clear who fired the shots at 1710 N. Long St. Neither man at the scene was found with a gun.

David Jumar White, 27, of

631 S. Ellis St., was shot multiple times and was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center.

A hospital spokesperson said there was no record of White as a patient.

Henry Lee Wilder Jr., 23, of 304 Adam St., was shot once and was treated and released from Rowan Regional.

Memory box filled with mementoes of bygone era I

don’t remember how or when the box landed on my desk. Long ago, I had shoved it into a corner of my newsroom cubicle, deciding it would be worth closer inspection some other day.

It was about the size of a cigar box but a bit wider and not as deep. An envelope on top was addressed to “Mrs. Rose Post,” my long retired partner in crime.

Dick Earnhardt, owner of Carpet Deals & More in SalisMARK bury, had scratched a WINEKA message on a single piece of notebook paper inside the envelope. It was dated Dec. 31, 1998.

“This was bought at an auction,” Beulah Boots Grahams high school mem- he wrote to Rose, “and is quite interory book starts with items from her senior esting, especially the photographs.

to which it should be returned. If you can help, it would be truly appreciated. Thanks, Dick Earnhardt.”

He left his business card with the note.

It was quickly evident that Earnhardt had found a girl’s high school memory book labeled “School Belles.” It possessed a sturdy red cover, and its inside pages had two punchholes on the left that were tied together with decorative red yarn.

Sections of the book were titled, allowing fill-in spaces for the school and class colors, school cheers, school songs, teacher names, sports scores, friends’ autographs, commencement notes and vacation memories.

The book also was crammed full of notes, newspaper clippings, programs and photographs. Underneath were some additional envelopes and letters.

SALISBURY POST

Immediately after President Franklin D. Roosevelt announced the first three Selective Service numbers chosen on Oct. 28, 1940, a Salisbury Post photographer went in search of the men drawn for Salisburys Area No. 1 board office. One of those men was J.C. Hardister, whose picture appeared in the Post under the heading “First Man in Draft.” Hardister lived on East Kerr Street in Salisbury and was an apprentice machinist at Spencer Shops, where the photos were taken. He held the number 158, the first draft number drawn by the president. “Im married,” Hardister said at the time, “but my wife is working.”

His wife, the former Dorothy Julian of Spencer, was employed at Southern Bell as a telephone operator. Hardister was at lunch when his number was called, but he didnt hear about it until he was back at work and the Post photographer arrived. Two other men in Rowan County, Harley Vance Morgan of RFD No. 5 in Salisbury and Hal Jackson Davis of China Grove, also held the “lucky” number 158.

Retired railroader and U.S. Army veteran J.C. Hardister lives at Trinity Oaks today and just celebrated his 93rd birthday Saturday. A granddaughter, Kim Hardister Riddle, brought the old newspaper clipping to the Post, which had these photographs on file.

Limit trips to the scale to just once a week Q: How many times a week should I weigh myself?

A: In my opinion and many other professionals, you should weigh yourself once a week. (unless your doctor or health care professional has advised you to weigh more often).

I am amazed how many people weigh themselves once or numerous times a day.

At one point in my life the ESTER scale became MARSH an enemy of mine. Having to make my weight class in Judo, I did anything to make my weight class — over exercise, put plastic bags under my many layers of workout clothes, not eat, and weigh myself a bundle of times a day.

Checking your weight often can really become an issue.

Now, I don’t want you to wait until your annual physical to weigh yourself, but once a week is really enough for most people. My recommendation is to weigh in the morning when you wake up, on the same scale, same day, same time and preferable completely naked.

Log your weight and write down how your week has been — did you eat a lot, exercise like you planned to, not feel

good etc.?

Many people come to the Y and other fitness centers and weigh themselves before they work out and after they work out. They are very upset when they didn’t lose anything during their workout. It takes more than one workout to lose excess weight, and all the weight you are losing during your workout is water weight.

As someone who had the scale rule her life in her late teens and early 20s, I believe if you aren’t careful, it will rule your life too. I see people come in feeling so good about themselves, step on the scale and their whole mood changes from being very up, to very down.

Besides your weekly weigh in, you can have your body fat measured by a professional like a fitness trainer or use a scale that can measure your body fat. As long you use the same method and/or same trainer, it can show you pretty accurate results. At the most, do this once a month. (It can become an obsession too!)

So start logging your weight once a week, same day, same time, same “attire.” Exercise hard, eat well-balanced meals and don’t let the scale take over your life.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” is waning at the box office but still has gotten off to a blockbuster start with $161 million in its first five days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The third chapter in Summit Entertainment’s vampire romance fell off sharply after debuting last Wednesday with $68.5 million. That was the second-best opening-day haul ever, behind its predecessor, last year’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which opened with $72.7 million.

After that huge first day, “Eclipse” averaged about $23 million daily over the next four days.

That includes an estimate for a slow Sunday as people turned their attention to Fourth of July activities.

Its total through Sunday came in well short of the $200 million mark set last year by “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” the recordholder for best five-day start for movies opening on Wednesday.

“Eclipse” easily held the No. 1 spot for the weekend, though its $69 million Friday-to-Sunday total was only a fraction more than what the movie took in just on opening day. “New Moon” took in $142.8 million in its first weekend last November, though the movie opened on Friday and the figure includes its record opening-day gross.

Those marching band days H

Work begins after Tom Barber used his Ford Tractor to plow up a row of potatoes from the community garden at Woodleaf Methodist Church.

Growing together Woodleaf United Methodist Church’s community garden feeds local families WOODLEAF — A small army of Woodleaf United Methodist Church members reported for duty recently — the harvesting of potatoes from their community garden.

Ages 8 to 79 got their hands dirty in collecting the potatoes plowed up by Tom Barber, the chief ramrod behind the half-acre garden, now in its second year.

The church garden — a half-acre in size — has produced the potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, squash and green beans with lima beans and okra coming in the near future. Some late green beans and peas already have been planted where the potatoes were dug up.

Sunflowers and zinnias also are planted in the garden, and Loretta Brown makes sure fresh flowers

find their way into the church every Sunday morning.

Last year, the garden supplied produce for at least 55 families, and the church believes it has served 30 families so far this summer.

“It’s open to the community,” Loretta Barber says. “... It’s there for your needs.”

Increasingly, folks in the Woodleaf community know the garden is there if they want to stop by for something.

The garden is behind the church, which is located off N.C. 801. The former pastor, the Rev. Ron Hartman, thought the garden would be good use of extra land the church had bought for when it needs to expand the cemetery.

“It’s been a very worthwhile thing,” Loretta says.

Authur Ratledge sits on a bucket while Tom Barber plows the rows of potatoes at Woodleaf UnitedMethodist Churchs community garden. The garden supplied produce for at least 55 families last year. It has served about 30 families so far this summer. Church members are currently growing potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers and squash.

aving seen my brother Joe in the Granite Quarry High School band in the late 1950s, I started band at Granite Quarry in the fifth grade.

I began with the clarinet, later switching to the big bass horn — the sousaphone, sometimes referred to as the tuba. All of the different fingering positions of the clarinet were too comMACK WILLIAMS plicated for me and three valves seemed easier to operate.

Once in a while, the basses would have a piece of melody, but their lot in life seemed to be to provide a punctuated beat along with the percussion instruments, and to serve as sort of a counterbalance to whatever was happening with the instruments of the treble clef.

During high school at East Rowan, I enjoyed our performances at the football halftime shows. As a freshman, I was still two years away from meeting my steady high school girlfriend, so I enjoyed being in my uniform and walking past girls and hanging around the concession stand. At the time I thought that “girls like a guy in uniform,” but I guess I was in the wrong sort of uniform.

For me, a band uniform did not turn out to be a “girl ticket.”

There were some built-in hazards of playing the sousaphone outside of the band room at football games and parades. During some football games — homecoming, I think — miniature footballs would be thrown out to the attending fans in the bleachers.

During one band class period, following a Friday night game, I noticed a “wheezing” sound coming from my sousaphone when I played it. It sounded as if it had come down with bronchitis. I turned it over and a tiny football fell out and hit the floor — evidently, it had been thrown there while I had made a trip to the concession stand in an attempt to make an impression with my uniform.

Parades were also hazardous because some members of the public mistook the great brass opening of the bell of the sousaphone for a moving garbage can, into which balled up pieces of paper were to be hurled, along with some occasional rocks. The great opening, of course, was meant for the sound to exit and was not some mobile black hole pressed into service by the city’s trash collection department.

Another particular memory of Christmas parades had to do with cold temperatures. For those of us brass players, whose instruments used mouthpieces, the instruction was given to keep those mouthpieces in our warm pockets until it was time to make music. The effect of a cold mouthpiece was such a shock to the lips that it could greatly affect the sound. Although the cold wasn’t as cold or shocking to us as it was to that unfortunate little boy, many years later, in the movie “Toy Story.”

Whenever the band traveled to an “away” game, passage in and out of the front door of the bus was impossible due to the size of my sousaphone. I had to go in or out by way of the rear door of the bus, making my entrances and exits always something of an “emergency.”

They actually sold a lot of bonds ($14,045), sometimes for just a handshake.

Merley recently died and I asked Gail Punch, who was clearing out the house, to be on the lookout for a handkerchief I knew she had.

When looking through some scrapbooks, she spotted the handkerchief, pictures and newspaper articles of the event. She really got excited about finding it and brought the scrapbook to me. There were many more items she was involved in, or thought worth saving because of that particular time period.

Mail-order is bad healthcare. It is important for every patient to have a personal relationship with their local pharmacist, to ask questions and better understand medication side effects, as well as have someone to ask those important health care questions. You certainly do not have that ability with your postman.

Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers make more money if they can force you into mail-order. Medications are given to you by your doctor to improve your healthcare and quality of health. You need access to your local pharmacist to council you on these medications. You also need access to cross check the new medications with other medications you already take to guard again interactions. Your postman can’t do this either.

If you are being told you have to use mail-order and are being discriminated against, call Wayne Goodwin, the Commissioner of Insurance (919-807-6750) and tell him you want your rights protected and you want to get your medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

15 or 16 years old then. He ran outside to see what was going on, since it shook the house. He got a glimpse of the plane going south. He said he had never heard such a noise. In three years, he would also be in service.

War bond sales were held in the park frequently.

There would almost always be something to attract interest. One thing was a wooden tank on wheels. It could be driven around to different cities.

Another attraction was a huge whale on a railway flat car, which was parked on the side track behind Belk’s department store. It created quite a bit of interest since most people had never seen a whale. There was also a submarine on display at another event. War bond sales in the park were big events during the war, as were scrap drives.

Movie stars were frequently visitors. Before I went in service in 1942, John Payne and Jane Wyman visited on one hot summer day. More than 3,500 people attended the event. I was there and took pictures. They made talks about the importance of buying war bonds. Someone was always playfully offering one of their clothing items as an incentive to buy the bonds. Depending on the item being offered, the cost for the bond purchaser could be high. The bigger the item, the more the purchaser had to pay. I saw B.W. Durham buy John’s coat for a $500 war bond.

John immediately bought a bond for the same amount to get it back. Mr. Durham did get one of his neckties for a $150 bond, which he wore the next day.

have been told recently of some unusual things that happened in Kannapolis during and after World War II. Some were comical and some were not.

During the war, mostly very young men were eiNORRIS drafted DEARMON ther or volunteered. By young, the definition would be ages between 18 to 20.

There were a few older but not many. By 1943, if a GI was 35 or older he had no trouble getting discharged.

Youth seems to be a little more daring with tendencies to do things older people would not do.

In 1944, Bill Whitley had completed schools to become a flight engineer on a B-24 liberator bomber. A B24 was a very large four engine plane with twin tails.

By the fall of 1943, his plane was ready to fly overseas.

One day before leaving for overseas duty, he and the crew were going to make one more test flight from their base in Virginia. As was always the case, everything was done in secret. No one wanted the enemy to know what was going on.

After takeoff, Bill said to the crew, “We are going to Kannapolis, N.C.” What he really meant was, “We are going to buzz Kannapolis.”

After doing their testing on the way, they arrived at Kannapolis and flew down Main Street very low. I am sure the people thought they were going to be bombed because the plane made a terrible noise at the low altitude. By the time they reached Montgomery Ward, Bill had the props turned to make even more noise. The noise shook the buildings for two blocks on either side, especially the Whitley’s Funeral Home, where his Dad would be. They then flew up for a better cruising altitude back to the base.

Bill could not tell his parents it was him who flew over the buildings because of their secret operation. All movements by the services were secret at that time. Today, they would not be allowed to fly that low.

I recently talked to Ray Simpson Jr., who told me of the flight through Kannapolis by Bill. He lived on Ridge Avenue, about half a block north of the location of Whitley’s Funeral Home on Main Street. He was about

Authorities told the Asheville Citizen-Times that the canoeists found the body Saturday afternoon, then pulled their canoe out of the French Broad River and called for help.

Asheville police didn’t give the man’s name because his family has not been notified, but they said he was homeless.

Investigators say there were no signs of foul play, but an autopsy has been scheduled.

Police say they don’t know exactly when the man died, but said he appeared he had been in the river for a while.

RALEIGH (AP) — An organization that represents police officers in North Carolina is asking the governor to pursue criminal charges against a former high-ranking state trooper who resigned last month over inappropriate text messages sent to a secretary.

North Carolina Police Benevolent Association Executive Director John Midgette says former patrol Maj. Everett Clendenin should be criminally charged with misuse of state property.

I’ll never forget one parade in which we were marching. We were in our band uniforms and Mr. Bauknight was wearing a white coat with vertical red stripes, looking like a candy cane — I don’t remember whether or not this was at Christmastime.

For some reason, I seem to remember them being in uniform. They were rapidly becoming covered in sleet and snow.

The uniforms were handsome, but so were the uniforms of those unfortunate, snow-covered French soldiers on their way back from Moscow to their homes in France during the War of 1812. As far as my consideration of joining the marching band at that school in the mountains was concerned, I had thought about it, and then I had thought better of it.

RALEIGH (AP) — Democrats proud to have passed the North Carolina state budget on schedule for the first time since 2003 will have to keep a pretty short to-do list if they are to hold their shortest even-numbered year session since 1996, too.

The longer the General Assembly lingers before gaveling out the budget-adjustment session, the list can grow as rank-and-file legislators try to argue their pet piece of legislation is indispensable.

“It’s better to get out quick, rather than let all the bad stuff come out of committee,” said Rep. Bill Owens, D-Pasquotank, the House Rules Committee chairman.

Heading into what could be the final week of the session, legislative leaders hope to gather their focus largely upon passing a broad ethics, campaign fundraising and government reform package, followed by an economic incentives bill.

“When you shake it all down, front and center is the ethics bill.

That’s what we’ve got to do,” said Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe.

The investigation into activities surrounding former Gov. Mike Easley and his campaign has entered a second year, and calls to stop “pay-to-play” politics are mounting. Given that, Democrats and Republicans alike can’t afford to be seen as doing nothing on the issue, especially during an election year. Gov. Beverly Perdue also has offered her own ethics package.

“I actually think that you can’t go home without that,” Perdue told reporters at the budget’s bill signing last week.

The House and Senate have competing packages that now appear to have bipartisan support.

They both make it a felony to give at least $10,000 in illegal campaign contributions in a single election.

It’s currently a misdemeanor. The state ethics laws would cover more people, and elected officials would have to file another financial dis-

Legislative leaders hope to gather their focus largely upon passing a broad ethics, campaign fundraising and government reform package, followed by an economic incentives bill. closure statement once they leave office to shed light on potential conflicts of interest.

“We want the public to have confidence in the process,” said Sen. Steve Goss, D-Watauga, the Senate bill’s co-author.

Differences stem from what are considered the best ways to reduce the perception outsiders can unfairly influence politicians.

The House has taken a more aggressive approach by limiting state contractors to donating no more than $1,000 per year to the political campaign of someone seeking a Council of State office who would have authority to award a contract.

It also wants board and commission members to disclose their detailed fundraising activities for the officials appointing them.

Senate leaders believe the ideas would be difficult to carry out or raise constitutional questions, so they want to narrow the fundraising disclosure questions and study the contractor fundraising issue.

Jane Pinsky, a lobbyist for the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform, said sthe time for studying is over.

“The Senate seems to think that it doesn’t matter to people of North Carolina that contractors can give money to people who write contracts for them,” she said. “I think the House feels pretty strongly that it does matter.”

The economic incentives package is in danger of getting scuttled or delayed since a Senate finance committee inserted a provision late

last week that would create a state trust designed to manage the Yadkin River and its dams currently owned by Alcoa Inc. The House rejected a similar trust last year.

Perdue said lawmakers must give her more generous tax credits to revive the state’s ailing film industry and create breaks to make the state a destination for computer simulation program firms.

“I’ll be very direct. If we do not pass this bill, North Carolina will be able to kiss those industries good bye,” Perdue said.

Lawmakers will take up some other topics in the final days.

Liquor store reforms and redistributing 911 emergency phone fees are expected to pass before adjournment, but a ban on sweepstakes machines and a referendum on eminent domain face uncertain futures.

Attorney General Roy Cooper appears to have momentum on his side to pass a bill so police can take DNA samples from people arrested for serious crimes — without having to wait until conviction as they do now. Cooper held a news conference last week featuring a rape victim speaking out in favor of the measure. He later addressed a Senate committee, whose members largely agreed with him that it would solve more crimes and protect the public.

“I just can’t find a problem with this thing,” said Sen. David Hoyle, D-Gaston.

The state chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union opposes the bill because it doesn’t require probable cause before a sample is taken, violating the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizures. Cooper counters there are many protections in the bill.

Some lawmakers uncomfortable with the measure will support it anyway because they don’t want to be seen as being soft on crime, ACLU lobbyist Sarah Preston said.

“It’s difficult to vote against something like this,” Preston said.

“When customers come to our store they’re not just looking for shoes they’re looking for comfort. Our staff is trained to match those tired, sore feet with the right products to make them feel better.”

Nissan Motor's new electronic vehicle Leaf is displayed during an opening ceremony of the companys new headquarters in Yokohama, Japan. The age of the silent hybrid may be coming to an end. Gas-electric hybrids, propelled by electric motors at low speeds, are well-known for their quiet-ride and great gas mileage. But the silence isn't always golden, some researchers and safety groups say the so-called hybrid-creep can pose risks for unsuspecting pedestrians and the blind who use sound cues to travel safely.

Quiet hybrids: An end to their sounds of silence?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The age of the silent hybrid may be coming to an end.

Gas-electric hybrids, propelled by electric motors at low speeds, are well-known for their quiet ride and great mileage. But their silence isn’t always golden.

Some researchers and safety groups say that quiet operation — “hybrid creep” — can pose risks for unsuspecting pedestrians and the blind, who use sound cues.

Advocates for the blind have sought the addition of artificial noises in hybrids for several years, concerned that the expected sales growth of hybrids could lead to more pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Hybrids account for about 2 percent of new car sales each year but auto companies are expected to boost production in advance of tougher fuel efficiency standards this decade.

“This is an example of too much of a good thing,” said John Pare, executive director for strategic initiatives with the National Federation of the Blind. “Cars got quieter, that was good. Suddenly they got to be so quiet that it added an element of danger.”

The government’s auto safety agency said in a research report last year that hybrid vehicles are twice as likely to be involved in pedestrian crashes at low speeds compared with cars with conventional engines. The study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration examined circumstances in which the vehicles were slowing down or coming to a stop, backing up or entering or departing a parking space.

More than 4,300 pedestrians were killed in 2008, according to the most recent data available. The govern-

ment has been researching the safety risks that hybrids and electrics could pose for pedestrians, particularly the blind, along with the elderly and children, for vehicles traveling at 20 mph or less.

When a car is going faster, the friction between the tire and the road’s surface makes the vehicle louder.

The quiet hybrid phenomenon already has its place in pop culture. In an episode of NBC’s “The Office,” paper salesman Andy Bernard uses his stealthy blue Toyota Prius to sneak up on Dwight Schrute and pin his bitter rival against a hedge. One concerned co-worker, watching the unfolding drama, says “the Prius is silent if he keeps it under 5 miles per hour.”

Congress is heeding the warnings, adding sound performance requirements for hybrids and electric cars to an auto safety bill being considered after the massive Toyota recalls. Lawmakers could consider the changes this summer and car companies most likely would have to have the sounds ready to go three years after the release of new government rules.

Automakers helped develop the proposal in Congress and are moving forward with new artificial sounds that will be emitted from electric cars and future hybrid models.

Nissan Motor Corp. has produced distinct sounds for the Leaf, the electric car expected to go on sale this year, when the vehicle accelerates or moves in reverse. When the Leaf speeds up to 20 mph, it automatically will use a soft whirring sound that changes pitch as the car accelerates.

When the Leaf backs up, an intermittent bell will ring to warn those nearby.

The Japanese automaker consulted with acoustic psychologists and Hollywood sound designers to find a tone that addresses drivers, pedestrians and the community.

“It was kind of like peeling back an onion. The more we worked on it, the more issues came up, the more of a balancing act it became,” said Andy Christensen, a manager with Nissan’s North American Technical Center near Detroit. Nissan plans to use the sounds on the Infiniti M35 hybrid to be released in 2012.

General Motors Co. wanted a more subtle chirp on its Chevrolet Volt, so it chose an alert horn that lets the driver warn an unknowing bystander.

“We didn’t want to blast the horn at them and figuratively smack the people in the nose,” said Doug Moore, a vehicle performance engineer for the Volt project. “We just wanted to tap them on the shoulder and say, ’Hey I’m here.”’

Other automakers are hard at work, too.

Toyota Motor Corp., which makes the top-selling Prius hybrid, is studying artificial sounds for hybrids when the vehicle is propelled by its electric motor at low speeds.

Ford Motor Co. is working to bring external sounds to future hybrids and electrics, including its Focus electric car, expected in 2011, and a nextgeneration hybrid and plugin hybrid vehicle planned for 2012.

Nancy Gioia, Ford’s director of global electrification, said car companies should consider standardizing tones from future hybrids and electrics to avoid a cacophony of confusion on the streets.

“It can’t be like cell phones where we all select our own

sound and we tune out everybody else’s but our own,” Gioia said.

Some green car advocates have questioned the need for the extra tones and noted that the requirement could add more noise to neighborhoods.

Paul Scott, vice president of Plug In America, said the sounds could help under certain circumstances, but drivers should have the right to activate the tones.

“After hearing how innocuous the Nissan Leaf sound is, maybe it’ll be a minor irritant for us, but I suspect people will tire of it eventually and seek ways to disable the noise,” Scott said in an e-mail from Japan, where he was test-driving the car.

Les Blomberg, who is the founder of the Noise Pollution Clearinghouse, said reducing noise from the loudest vehicles, such as trucks, buses and motorcycles, would increase the ability of pedestrians to detect sound. Adding sounds to hybrids, however, would simply enhance noise pollution and make it more difficult to hear an individual vehicle in traffic.

After drop, will stocks rise? S&P data offer hope NEW YORK (AP) — OK, you’re gutsy enough to buy on dips. Now how about buying on a dive?

After a scary slump for stocks this spring, that’s the question facing many investors. In the three months ended June 30, the Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 11.9 percent, the biggest quarterly loss since the financial crisis. The fear is that economic growth may slow, or stall, and that’s got even bulls wondering if stocks could drop even lower.

The good news: If you can muster the courage to buy, history suggests you may be rewarded.

According to an S&P analysis of prices going back to the Great Crash of 1929, stocks tend to climb in quarters following big declines.

“The market is like a rubber band,” said S&P Chief Strategist Sam Stovall after finishing his analysis Friday.

“Stretch it too far, and it’s likely to snap back.”

Time and again, the pattern seems to repeat: Investors get carried away selling but then come to their senses and start buying again.

Some details and lessons from Stovall’s numbers: • Good follows bad seven out of 10 times.

Since Calvin Coolidge was

president in the 1920s, stocks have fallen 5 percent or more in 41 quarters. But that was followed by stock rises over the next three months 29 times — or seven out or 10 times.

• Rises anticipate recoveries.

It is said the stock market looks six months or more in the future, and the S&P data bears this out. Some of the biggest rises come before economic recoveries when unemployment is still high and growth low. For example, the S&P started rising in March last year, at least three months ahead of what many people now believe was the start of the recovery.

The unfortunate corollary: Stocks also anticipate recession. That raises the prospect that the current drop could be signaling a feared double-dip, or back-to-back recessions.

• Read Horace Sure, the Roman poet has been dead 2,000 years but he still offers insight into the market: “The harder you fall, the higher you bounce,” he once wrote. Indeed, in quarters when stocks rose after falling 15 percent or more, the rebound averaged 23 percent.

The median, or the rise halfway between the highest and lowest, was 9 percent.

The big question is

whether this quarter will hold to that pattern.

Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities, isn’t convinced. His explanation is a bearish take on the old bullish line during the boom: “This time is different.”

He said that recession often clears out “excesses” of booms such as too much debt.

But a year or so into this recovery, the consumer still owes too much. Consumer debt stands now at $13.5 trillion, or $44,000 per person — a fall from its peak but still more than 120 percent of wages and investment income, according to researcher Portales Partners.

That’s up from 80 percent a decade ago.

Ricchiuto also thinks there are still too many people out of work to expect a strong recovery, and thus a bull market for stocks. He also fears deflation, or a consistent drop in prices. Though rare, deflation can devastate an economy, making it difficult for companies to generate higher revenue and borrowers to pay back their debt. Consumer prices fell in May, the second month in a row of drops.

“When was the last time you were worried about deflation,” said Ricchiuto. He added, “I wouldn’t be buying (stocks). I’m 100 percent cash.”

Doug Roberts, chief investment officer of Channel Capital Research, said this quarter could see a stock market bounce though he suspects it won’t amount to much.

“People thought the government would prime the pump (with stimulus spending) and then we’d have a V-shaped recovery,” he said, referring to a drop in growth followed by a sharp rebound. “But what we’re seeing is that the government IS the recovery.”

Roberts’ prediction: Stocks flat for the rest of the year.

Of course, the market has confounded even overwhelming bearish sentiment. Reflecting the popular notion at the time, Businessweek splashed these famous four words on its cover: “The Death of Equities.” The date was August 1979, just before the start of one of the biggest bull markets in history.

Not to be outdone, Time magazine ran a story in September 1988 titled, “Buy Stocks? No way.” The S&P proceeded to double over the next seven years.

If you’re thinking of buying now, note that the S&P data does include a note of caution notwithstanding its bullish portent. Sometimes those sharp rebounds are followed by sharp falls.

2nd lines are affordable prelude to haute couture PARIS (AP) — The summon of high fashion got a high street prelude on Sunday, as designers fielded spring-summer 2011 collections for their lower-priced second lines on the eve of Paris’ rarified haute couture displays.

British madcap Vivienne Westwood, emerging French designer Anne Valerie Hash and Belgian design duo AF Vandevorst fielded their most commercial, most accessible lines, which were full of casual layered looks in light knits that looked like something someone would actually wear.

Known as Paris Fashion Days, Sunday’s event was aimed at giving the second lines — which have long been seen as ready-to-wear’s ugly stepsister — a high-glamour patina.

“Before, designers were almost embarrassed by their second lines,” said Muriel Piaser, exhibitions director at Pret a Porter Paris, which organized the two-day-long event, held in a marble hall at Paris’ former stock market. “In today’s economic climate, that kind of attitude is no longer possible because the client has changed. Designers are now recognizing that they can use their second lines, with their much lower price points, to promote their top ready-to-wear lines.”

That was the case with Hash, who launched her second line, AVH by Anne Valerie Hash, with a catwalk show at Sunday’s event — instead of fielding a haute couture show later in the week.

“For a small company like us, it wasn’t financially possible to do both,” Hash told The Associated Press in a backstage interview. “We needed a line that would boost the main ready-to-wear line, something inexpensive that would tap into the energy of streetwear.”

She served cuffed shorts

paired with tanks and cardigans and elegant draped pantsuits in feather-light knits. The collection, to be manufactured in Eastern Europe, captured the relaxed Parisian chic that has become the trademark of both Hash’s ready-to-wear and couture lines.

Knitwear was also at the heart of A. Friend, Vandevorst’s lower-priced line. The design duo layered knit tankdresses and cowl-neck sweaters over slouchy, dropcrotched leggings.

For Anglomania, Westwood delivered swingy dresses with waspwaisted bustier-belt hybrids and skintight jeans and sleeveless vests in metallic denim.

Paris Fashion Days will open its doors to the public on Tuesday, with runway shows by smaller, lesserknown labels including Pablo, French label Gerard Darel’s second line.

ADVICE

SALISBURY POST

MONDAY, JULY 5, 2010 • 7A

Come clean about ‘disgusting’ habits Dear Amy: Help! I have been dating the most wonderful man for eight months.

He is the most kind, caring and loving man I have ever been with.

My problem started when I sold my house and moved in with him temporarily.

Since living with him I have learned that he doesn’t shower every day!

He doesn’t have body odor and it’s ASK not obvious AMY that he doesn’t bathe, but now that I’m living with him I’ve seen that he sometimes lets as long as four days pass between showers.

I was raised to shower every day and I really find this disgusting.

I’ve tried every way I can think of to persuade him to shower every day — joking, cajoling and being stern. For me, this is a deal breaker.

I realize I shouldn’t have moved in with him and that situation will change soon, but can you help me come up with ways to convince him that he must bathe every day?

— Clean, Not Mean Dear Clean: I’ll point out that the practice of showering or bathing daily is not universal; I assume that people who bathe daily are probably in the minority — in this country and elsewhere.

If you two had a frank conversation about this, your guy might point out that his skin gets yucky if he uses soap too often — or that he is motivated by the thought of saving thousands of gallons of water each

year. (If that’s his reasoning, perhaps you could suggest that you two share your showers.)

Most important, if you are a bathing maniac and yet don’t notice any ill effects of his bathing schedule, then why do you care so much?

And if this is so important to you, couldn’t he compromise and shower more often?

If you declare something to be a deal breaker and he doesn’t cooperate, then it may be time to pack your shampoo and go.

ried about your sons’ welfare.

It’s hard to imagine how staying with him under these circumstances is good for you or your sons.

Continue counseling on your own. Don’t focus on how to get your husband to change. Concentrate on figuring out what you want and develop a strategy for what you will do if he does not change.

Dear Amy: I have been married for 15 years. We have two amazing sons. I just found out that my husband has been having an affair for the last 18 months. I forgive him — but he is not letting his relationship go!

We have been to one session of counseling and he doesn’t want to continue with counseling. He thinks he should be with his girlfriend and with me. Is this the most selfish and disrespectful thing you have ever heard? I can’t live like this.

He says he wants to be free and wants no one to control him. Is it so wrong that I want to know where he is and what he is doing?

I am really working to make my marriage work Dear Been There: Asking again, especially for my chilthe right questions can lead dren. to personal insight. Well Do you have any advice done. for us getting through this rough patch?

— Worried Wife Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or Dear Worried: Is this a by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago rough patch? It seems more Tribune, TT500, 435 N. like a serious condition than Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL a glitch in your marriage.

ey shopping this way than I used to when I planned meals myself.

EC: Is there a cost?

AB: The subscription is $5 per month, which works out to less than $1.25 per week. I easily save more than that grocery shopping, not to mention the time I don’t spend planning meals.

EC: This seems to be working for you. Why? AB: Now I am much more organized. When one area of my life (such as meal planning) is put together, I’m able to keep the other areas together, as well. It’s one less thing to worry about. I also love that E-mealz has plans that work for any size family. At this point, we only need recipes that feed two adults. As my daughter grows and as we expand our family, I anticipate changing my subscription to a family plan, which will provide recipes that feed four to six people.

EC: Where do you find the coupons you need, or do you really need coupons with Emealz?

AB: E-mealz doesn’t require coupons, which I like.

Most plans are linked to a specific store, so the menus consist of items that are on sale this week. You really only need to use a club card to get the sale prices.

EC: How closely do you

follow the E-mealz menu plan and shopping list?

AB: I follow it as closely as possible. I make substitutions on occasion, depending on taste preferences, but so far everything on the list has turned out really well.

EC: How does your husband feel about these Emealz you’re preparing?

AB: He was a little skeptical at first, but now he is thoroughly enjoying the Emealz menus. Each meal has a main dish and one or two side dishes, so he likes the variety.

EC: Would you recommend E-mealz for other busy families?

AB: Absolutely! I suggest trying out a few of the sample menus on http://emealz.com to determine which plan works best for you.

How do you prepare to attend a job fair if you don’t have traditional “interview” clothing? Here are five tips: • Remember that “less is best.” Take off your piercings and wear one set of earrings (women), and maybe one piece of sensible jewelry.

• Dress sensibly, not like you’re going clubbing. Wear clean, pressed clothing and make sure your shoes are clean and polished.

• Shower or bath before the fair and leave your cologne or perfume for the weekend. Soap and water will suffice.

• Bring copies of your resume, a legal pad, and something to write with. A fresh manila envelope will work fine to carry your supplies.

• Do what others fail to do.

Tuesday, July 6

Dear Amy: I used to be the “Frustrated Friend,” the woman whose friend made terrible choices and wouldn’t listen to advice.

I spent hours in conversation with an acquaintance, trying to help her solve her problems.

She listened closely to my advice — and never followed any of it! She felt better after talking, without actually doing anything.

I now try to elicit answers from the person who has the problem: “What do you think might help?” “How will you go about doing that?” “What do you think would happen afterward?” and so on.

People are much more likely to act on their own conclusions than on my advice.

— Been There

Get household help for about $1 a week If the question “What’s for dinner?” fills you with a sense of dread, you should listen in on a conversation I had with my niece Abby Borders, from San Jose, Calif. She’s a former highMARY school HUNT teacher and now a stay-athome mom. She told me about her new personal household assistant, Emealz.

EC: What is E-mealz, and how did you hear about it?

AB: E-mealz is an online service that offers a weekly menu and shopping list to make grocery shopping and cooking a snap. A friend was raving about the meals she was eating all week, so when I asked for the recipes, she directed me to http://emealz.com.

EC: How does it work?

AB: E-mealz offers different kinds of menu plans. We subscribe to the low-fat plan for two. Every week, I go to the E-mealz website and print a two-page document with our meals, ingredients and recipe instructions plus a complete shopping list for my local supermarket.

gruntled with the grocery business and thinking about accounting school. “I’ve got to get out of the A&P,” he said. “It’s driving me nuts.”

It’s difficult to tell when Jim and Boots were married.

She includes several items from Washington, such as 1927 programs for the Fox Theatre and a train exhibit in Baltimore suggesting she was either visiting Jim or already hitched to him.

They definitely spent their early years of marriage back in Salisbury, living at 527 W. Liberty St., in a house next to Jim’s parents.

By 1937, they had moved.

Boots kept letters from her brothers that were mailed to her, care of Bell Telephone in Gastonia.

I spoke with Dick Earnhardt at Carpet Deals & More on Wednesday afternoon to tell him someone — almost a dozen years later — was writing about the book bought at an auction.

He said he had dropped it off at Rose’s desk one day when she was out of the office. They talked briefly about it later, but a story never emerged.

I took everything to the breakroom where I could spread things out on a bigger table. For the next hour, I turned the pages and read the letters to learn more about the early adult life of its owner, Beulah “Boots” Graham.

She belonged to the Class of 1926, the first to graduate from the new Boyden High School (today’s Salisbury High).

“Our new high school is one of the most up-to-date, modern equipped school buildings of the state,” Boots wrote on one of the first pages.

The 1926 Class Motto was “Play the game fair and square.”

My favorite school cheer: Boom-a-lacka, boom-alacka Bow, wow, wow.

Chicka-lacka, chicka-lacka chow, chow, chow.

Booma-lacka, chicka-lacka, who are we?

Salisbury High School, yessiree.

Based on a commencement program folded into the memory book, the Class of 1926 had 71 members.

Reading one of these books takes some minor investigative work to determine names, connections and whereabouts. Even after she graduated, Boots kept filling it with items, such as a newspaper clipping marking the 1927 death of Boyden High Principal Frank B. John, who at 28 failed to report to school one morning.

His body was found later, lying in the bathtub of a house where he roomed on South Fulton Street. The coroner said it was a heart attack, and the Post reported every detail of the body’s position in the tub.

“The soap dish on the side of the tub and close to the head had not even been dislodged,” the newspaper noted.

Boots’ photographs show her to be an attractive girl, flirtatious and funny. She also was quite romantic, filling several pages of the book with love poems.

Her true love turned out to be James Fisher, whose pictures also dominate the book. James, a Salisbury boy who was not a member of Boots’ class, went off to the Bliss Electrical School in Washington, D.C., graduating from there in 1928.

I think it started some kind of Washington connection for Boots’ family. Her younger brothers, Carl and Mason, ended up working there and marrying girls from that area.

When Carl was single and recently graduated from Boyden, he wrote a letter to Jim and Boots from Washington saying he was dis-

was in it,” Earnhardt said.

So that’s where this story ends, except that I stumbled across a Christmas gift tag Boots had stuck between the pages of her book — probably from her first holiday as a married woman. “From your Jim,” it said. “To the most precious little wife in all the world. May we have many, many more Christmases together and always love each other as we do.”

Chicka-lacka, chicka-lacka, Jim was a romantic, too.

Church.

“I thought it was very inspirational,” Miller said.

She said the patriotic program, which included a musical tribute to the nation’s fallen heroes, fits in the church setting.

“Our servicemen died for our freedom, and Christ died for our salvation,” she said.

Hales, who has narrated the program for several years, said the blending of religion and patriotism in the program doesn’t bother him, either.

“We need to blend them more,” Hales said. “This nation has a foundation in religion.”

The Salisbury resident said narrating the program means a lot to him, and the music inspires him and touches his heart.

“It’s very hard not to get choked up about it, because I’m a very, very strong patriot,” Hales said. “I believe in this country.”

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — State prison officials are investigating reports that a fundraiser at the Nevada State Prison featured scantily clad female band members and a motorcycle that was brought into the yard for inmate pictures.

Nevada Department of Corrections spokeswoman Suzanne Pardee says the agency’s inspector general’s office is interviewing staff to find out what happened during the June 26 barbecue and fundraiser hosted by the Vietnam Veterans of America. It was unclear what the event was raising money for, and a message left Sunday at the Vietnam Veterans of America state headquarters wasn’t immediately returned.

A copy of the minutes from a Tuesday prison staff meeting referred to the barbecue as a “fiasco.” The minutes say the band members wore appropriate attire to enter the prison but later changed.

The Nevada State Prison is a medium security prison and houses about 700 inmates.

Oh, really?

Taxes are price we pay as citizens Regarding Richard Roberts’ June 30 letter (“Taxation a form of involuntary servitude?”): To begin with, let me refer readers to Leonard Pitts’ column in the Friday Post. Mr. Pitts points out the proclivity of the Tea Party and their fellow travelers to make absolute statements beginning with “We all know” or something similar, without a shred of evidence that it is either true, or that everyone agrees. Tea Partiers and their fellow travelers tend to be long on unsubstantiated claims and short on evidence or facts.

Now to Mr. Roberts’ claim of “involuntary servitude.” What does Mr. Roberts think taxes are? Some arbitrary overcharging with nothing in return?

Would he like to get rid of all taxes, or just the ones he doesn’t want to pay?

Taxes are the price we pay for this country. Our government is not a monarchy, but a democratically elected one. Mr. Roberts may not like his Representatives in Congress, but he has a chance to retire them on a regular basis. If he hasn’t done that, then maybe his neighbors simply don’t agree with him.

We are no more “indentured servants” of the government than we are prisoners of the oil companies or supermarkets or anyone else. We all have a choice to live here in the United States, to choose our gasoline supplier, our supermarket and so forth. If Mr. Roberts and his fellow travelers don’t like that arrangement no one is holding them prisoner; they are free to go elsewhere.

If Mr. Roberts simply doesn’t like how government spends our money, why doesn’t he say so, and tell us what to cut? Defense (about 35 percent of spending)?

Social Security (another 38)?

Paying interest on the debt ( just 5 percent)? Where does he want to cut?

I’ve been in other countries, plenty of them, and I’ll stay here and pay the price of that privilege.

Good education is the foundation My friend Greg Bogard sent me this outstanding reference for removing a tick: http://www. biosci.ohio-state.edu/~acarolog/ needham/tickgone.htm.

I believe it makes for an easy reference for all of us to understand. I certainly hope none of us ever has to use it. However, both the Boy Scouts and doing something my parents would not have approved of taught me to be prepared.

Thank you, Greg. Should you come across equally informative information on how to remove elected representatives of Americans that do not fulfill the obligations of their positions, I would greatly appreciate receiving it. For example: If I understand the article in the July 2 Salisbury Post, our “beloved governor” is not sending the $900,000 owed to Rowan County from lottery ticket sales for Rowan’s educational needs. I need to find a lawyer to tell me if I have standing in a court and which court. If I do have standing and the governor and the legislature have a legal obligation not to play with such funds, I will be very busy for the next few months.

Without an adequate education, none of us would have been able to enjoy life as much as we have enjoyed it.

Forget the fact that our incomes are higher because of education.

Our enjoyment of everything in life has been greater because of our education.

The New York University system has a motto, as I remember, that states: “Let each become all they are capable of being.” That is the core of my being.

Reviewing my personal background: I could not have achieved the enjoyment of life without parents, a sibling, various people, community, teachers, elected representatives at several levels, scholarships, appropriate funding of educational

Medicare cuts imperil care The United States has the greatest health care delivery system in the world. However, this will change if our U.S. senators reduce the amount Medicare pays to doctors by more than 21 percent. While Medicare now pays about 26 cents on the dollar to doctors, a reduction of 21 percent would cause major problems in the current system.

I recently talked with two doctors, one of whom has an 85 percent Medicare enrollment.

This doctor indicated she would have to terminate her private practice of more than 20 years and go to work for some other health care provider. The other doctor said he would have to drop nursing homes and would be unable to take any new Medicare patients. He stated he would have to reduce his staff because he could not afford a 21 percent loss in payments.

I urge fellow citizens to call their senators. Senator Burr’s phone number is 1-800-685-8916 and Senator Hagen’s phone number is 1-877-852-9462. Each

call will take about two minutes.

Writing is OK, but it takes 16 days before it reaches the office concerned, since all mail is screened due to the anthrax scare.

The future of our health care system depends on good doctors, and as we age, the need will be even greater. Remember, if you are enrolled in Medicare, you may not be able to access a different doctor.

Support Cook for Rowan D.A. On this most important holiday to our nation, I want to take the time as a veteran to request that other veterans support Brandy Cook for District Attorney. After a 24-year distinguished career in the U.S. Army, and now as a K-9 police officer, I can honestly say that Brandy Cook possesses the traits and qualities of a true leader.

Whether I was on a small airfield on the island of Grenada, the jungles of Panama, mountains of

“The truth shall make you free”

Afghanistan or palaces in Iraq, I have had numerous opportunities to personally observe and take part in true leadership. Being hand-selected to teach the next generation of leaders with the ROTC program at Clemson University, I understand the challenges that she will face in this position. Knowing her personally, I’m certain Brandy Cook has the determination, discipline, dedication and professionalism to execute the duties of the Rowan County district attorney and take the position to a new level.

Brandy Cook will never shirk her responsibilities, develop a sense of entitlement or use her position for personal gain. She will always look at both sides of an issue and choose the course that is legal, moral and ethical.

As a military leader, I understand professional organizations revolve around standards. As an Assistant district attorney, Brandy Cook maintained one of the highest conviction rates and was known for being tough on crime. She has always held herself to the highest standards and gained the respect of fellow prosecutors, judges, law enforcement officers and defense attorneys.

In conclusion, if you want someone who has the experience, passion, and determination to the lead the county in the right direction, you need to vote for Brandy Cook. I would encourage all veterans to support Brandy Cook for District Attorney and vote for her on Nov. 2, 2010.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.”

— Dwight D. Eisenhower

wo months ago my wife and I took a few days to motor over to Myrtle Beach to play a little golf and relax. Fortunately, we enjoyed good weather. One bright morning we went to breakfast at a new franchise restaurant we had noted on Business 17, “Hot Stacks.”

The place was clean and neat, and the food was great and relatively inexpensive. But, that is not the real topic of this little piece. That would be our waiter.

He was very polished, clean and attentive. After we ordered and began eating, my wife said she felt that he was foreign, maybe Russian. (We had run into two Russian teenagers working at Fudrucker’s hamburger place the previous summer.) So, we decided to ask him.

When he came by to check on us, we asked him. He immigrated to America three years ago from Serbia. Asked him if he learned English in Serbia, because he spoke so well. Answer was, “No, in Serbia we had to learn Russian.”

I asked him how he learned to speak English with hardly an accent.”I taught myself by watching American Ty Cobb TV with sub-titles.”

Jr. lives in Hello out there !

Rockwell.

We talked for a short while, then I asked him, after being here for three years, what in his eyes was the best thing and worst thing about America.

He was quick to answer.

The best thing is the amount of freedom individuals have in every facet of life. If you are willing to work hard, it is easy to find a job and take care of yourself. (And, this answer in the midst of our ongoing recession with high unemployment !)

And the worst thing is that American families do not seem to stick close together as they do in Serbia. Young people in America seem to leave home or the near vicinity too early and become so into themselves that family bonds seem to fade out, then vanish. In Serbia, youth stay near home for several years, and there are many joyous family gatherings and everyone supports each other.

We were “wowed” by his quick, tothe-point observations!

As I travel my senior years, I often reflect on my life, and my family always seems to be at the top of my thought list. I recall one Easter Sunday many years ago while visiting my parents in Oklahoma observing a huge gathering of folks at the home across the street. At that time, and obviously now, I thought, “Gee, my family never really does that very often. What a warm feeling those folks must get.”

Admittedly, like me, my other two siblings were in the military, so that played some part in keeping Cobb family gatherings to a minimum. And, the result is that even though “blood is thicker than water,” we tended to drift apart. I yearn for such family reveling, and as I grow (really) older I find myself diligently trying to make it happen.

America’s fast paced lifestyle is likely the major factor causing families to drift apart. Intentions are always good, but the pace so fast, that before we know it, we are old and cannot regain opportunities lost. Let this “stranger” from a distant and very different land instill in us the urgency we need to keep our family ties strong and meaningful. We gotta work it !

Our young waiter is one who saw the “land of opportunity” and through a desire to improve his lot in life and a willingness to work hard is realizing the “American dream.” He has been there — done that. He is paying his dues. He is an example to our citizens who want everything handed to them on a platter. Opportunities are there, but they must be earnestly sought.

Ringo Star sang to us, “it don’t come easy.” Few things in life are really worth anything, unless you have had to work for them.

Who knows? Our waiter’s work ethic may see him the founding CEO of a new highly successful business in the near future. How about you?

Oil cleanup crews have more trouble with high waves

NEW YORK (AP) — A Japanese eating champion who sat out this year’s Coney Island Fourth of July hot dog contest apparently couldn’t resist the temptation to hotdog afterward.

Competitive eater Joey “Jaws” Chestnut gobbled his way to a fourth consecutive championship Sunday.

Chestnut downed 54 hot dogs in 10 minutes to win the annual Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, CHESTNUT televised live on ESPN. But he was suddenly upstaged by the surprise appearance of his biggest rival — six-time champion Takeru Kobayashi, who did not compete but crashed the stage after Chestnut’s win and wrestled with police.

“Let him eat! Let him eat!” the crowd chanted as police handcuffed the world’s No. 3 professional eater, dubbed “The Tsunami.”

The 32-year-old Kobayashi did not eat this year because he refused to sign a contract with Major League Eating — the fast food equivalent of the NFL. On his Japanese-language blog, he said he wanted to be free to compete in contests sanctioned by other groups.

But a few days ago, he told Japan’s Kyodo News: “I really want to compete in the event.”

Kobayashi, wearing a black T-shirt that said “Free Kobi,” mingled with the crowd watching the contest, standing inside a police-barricaded pen just under the stage. When the eating ended, he slipped up the stage stairs.

Then, several security officers appeared and tried to usher him off. He grabbed a metal police barricade with both hands. Finally, they dragged him down the stairs.

He was under arrest Sunday afternoon, charged with resisting arrest, trespass and obstructing governmental administration.

Chestnut said he was disappointed with his performance, despite claiming the bejeweled, mustard-yellow belt plus a $20,000 purse. The 26-year-old from San Jose, Calif., was aiming for a record 70 dogs in 10 minutes, beating his own record of 68 last year. The runner-up was Tim “Eater X” Janus, with a total of 45. Patrick “Deep Dish” Bertoletti came in third with 37 dogs.

Petraeus says, ‘We are in this to win’ as he takes over KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — “We are in this to win,” Gen. David Petraeus said Sunday as he took the reins of an Afghan war effort troubled by waning support, an emboldened enemy, government corruption and a looming commitment to withdraw troops even with no sign of violence easing.

Petraeus, who pioneered the counterinsurgency strategy he now oversees in Afghanistan, has just months to show progress in turning back insurgents and convince both the Afghan people and neighboring countries that the U.S. is committed to preventing the country from again becoming a haven for al-Qaida and its terrorist allies.

“We are engaged in a contest of wills,” Petraeus said as he accepted the command of U.S. and NATO forces before several hundred U.S., coalition and Afghan officials who gathered on a grassy area outside NATO headquarters in Kabul.

Petraeus, widely credited with turn-

ing around the U.S. war effort in Iraq, said the Taliban and their allies are killing and maiming civilians — even using “unwitting children to carry out attacks” — in an attempt to undermine public confidence in the Afghan government and the international community’s ability to prevail.

“In answer, we must demonstrate to the people and to the Taliban that Afghan and international forces are here to safeguard the Afghan people, and that we are in this to win,” Petraeus said on the Fourth of July, U.S. Independence Day.

Biden urges fast transition; suicide bombers hit twice BAGHDAD (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden urged rival Iraqi politicians to end months of delays and select new leaders for their wobbly democracy, predicting a peaceful transition of power even as suicide bombers struck government centers in two major cities.

The attacks in Mosul and Ramadi underscored persistent fears that insurgents will exploit Iraq’s political uncertainty to stoke widespread sectarian violence. Four people were killed and 25 injured in the two blasts that occurred hundreds of miles apart.

The twin explosions on the Fourth of July illustrated the vexing nature of the U.S. involvement in Iraq and its efforts to nudge the country toward stability and democracy.

At least five mortar rounds also fell in the Green Zone late Sunday when Biden was there, said Iraqi police officials. The Green Zone is the sprawling protected area in the heart of Baghdad that is home to the U.S. Embassy as well as the Iraqi parliament and prime minister’s office.

There were no reported casualties, said the officials, who did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to reporters. Mortars and rockets are periodically fired into the Green Zone but rarely result in casualties or damage.

Interim president likely winner in Polish election WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Interim president Bronislaw Komorowski appeared to have held off a last-minute surge from the identical twin brother of the late president, who died in an April plane crash that shocked the country and forced Sunday’s early election.

Exit polls showed Komorowski with a slight edge over Jaroslaw Kaczynski, who essentially conceded defeat in the presidential run-off by declaring before supporters, “I congratulate the winner.”

A poll released Sunday by the TNS OBOP institute predicted Komorowski winning 53.1 percent of the vote, and Kaczynski winning 46.9 percent. A separate poll, by Millward Brown SMG/KRC, shows Komorowski with nearly 52 percent and Kaczynski with just over 48 percent.

The exit polls have a small margin of error, and official results are not expected until Monday.

Komorowski, who wants to smooth the way for the government to continue privatizing state-run companies and trim welfare benefits, didn’t formally claim victory, noting that the votes were still being counted.

Mexico’s old ruling party seeks momentum in elections CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — More than a dozen Mexican states held

elections Sunday after campaigning besieged by assassinations and scandals that displayed drug cartels’ power. The party that ruled Mexico for 71 years hoped to capitalize on frustrations over the bloodshed and gain momentum in its bid to regain the presidency in two years.

The elections for 12 governors, 14 state legislatures and mayors in 15 states are the biggest political challenge yet for the government of President Felipe Calderon, who is deploying troops and federal police to wrest back territory from drug traffickers.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party, which held on to power for seven decades through a system of largess and corruption that many considered a quasi-dictatorship, has recovered popularity amid frustration with Mexico’s surging drug gang violence.

The party, known as the PRI, held up the assassination of its gubernatorial candidate in the northern state of Tamaulipas as evidence Calderon has failed to bring security despite the presence of tens of thousands of troops in drug trafficking hot spots.

Leaders of Calderon’s conservative National Action Party, in turn, have insinuated the PRI protects drug traffickers in Tamaulipas, the birthplace of the Gulf cartel, and in the northern state of Sinaloa, the cradle of the cartel by the same name.

Prime land in Grand Teton Park could go up for auction MOOSE, Wyo. (AP) — For Sale: Two square miles of Grand Teton National Park.

Majestic views of the Teton Range.

Prime location for luxury resort, home development. Pristine habitat for moose, elk, wolves, grizzlies.

Price: $125 million. Call: Gov. Dave Freudenthal.

Wyoming is trying to force the Interior Department to trade land, minerals or mineral royalties for 1,366 acres it owns within the majestic park.

If the foot-dragging feds don’t agree to a deal — soon — Freudenthal threatens to put a “for sale” sign out.

Wyoming has owned the land since statehood in 1890, when the federal government set aside land in new Western states to be mined, logged or leased to raise money for public education. Wyoming kept its socalled “school sections” after Grand Teton National Park was established in 1950.

Naked man falls asleep in home 20 miles from his own SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego resident awoke to a shocking discovery: a naked stranger passed out on his downstairs sofa.

San Diego police Lt. Jim Filley says the Pacific Beach homeowner called police after wandering downstairs Sunday morning and finding the snoring man.

Filley says the naked man was drunk and thought he was in his own home in Mission Valley, some 20 miles away.

The man, whose name wasn’t released, had taken off his clothes outside the house and walked in through the unlocked front door.

The homeowner declined to press charges. And since the intruder had sobered up, he was released to find his own way home.

Air ambulance crash kills all five who were on board in western Texas ALPINE, Texas (AP) — An air ambulance crashed shortly after takeoff from a western Texas airport Sunday, killing all five people on board.

The crash happened about 12:15 a.m. about a mile east of Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport, about 200 miles southeast of El Paso. The twin-engine Cessna 421 had

just taken off for Midland International Airport in Midland, when it went down in an open area, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The aircraft was carrying a patient and his wife to Midland, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. It identified the dead as 78-year-old patient Guy Richard Folger

of Alpine, his 59-year-old wife, Mary Folger; two flight nurses, 49-year-old Sharon Falkener of Fort Davis, and 42-year-old Tracy Chambers of Alpine; and 59-year-old pilot Ted Caffarel of Beaumont.

Caffarel was apparently trying to make an emergency landing when the plane hit a rut in the muddy field, overturned and burned, the DPS

said.

The FAA listed the aircraft as registered to O’Hara Flying Service II LP of Amarillo. Company owner Denny O’Hara declined to comment to the Associated Press.

The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation, FAA spokeswoman Elizabeth Corey said.

A police officer takes photos of a downed sign after two horses got loose and trampled people at a Fourth of July parade in Bellevue, Iowa, on Sunday.

Horses break loose at parade; 1 dies, 23 hurt BELLEVUE, Iowa (AP) — Two runaway horses pulling a wagon trampled spectators at a small-town Fourth of July parade, killing a 60-year-old woman and injuring at least 23 other people, four critically.

The horses bolted after one rubbed its head against the other, removing that horse’s bridle, police said. They galloped for several blocks with the wagon in tow, trampling parade-goers. The wagon flipped and ejected its two passengers, police said.

Among those injured were children who had stooped in the street to pick up candy.

Sandie Crilly, 46, of Willow Springs, Ill., said she was collecting Tootsie Rolls from the street with her 8-year-old son, 12-year-old niece and 2-yearold granddaughter when the horses ran toward them about halfway through the parade.

Someone yelled to get out of the way, she said.

“I could see it was two horses,” Crilly said. “I could see they were running at full speed and they were harnessed together and I knew we were going to most certainly get hit, and as soon as it happened, everybody was crying and screaming.”

Crilly, who was visiting her parents in Bellevue, said someone pulled her grand-

daughter to safety, but her niece’s left wrist was broken and her two front teeth were knocked out.

Four people remained hospitalized in critical condition, five others were seriously hurt and 14 others sustained minor injuries, police said.

The parade is a decadeslong tradition in Bellevue, a town of about 2,300 people on the Iowa-Illinois border.

“The mood is shock and disbelief,” Bellevue Mayor Virgil Murray said. “We’ve had this parade forever.

We’ve had horses in the parade forever.”

Arrest adds twist to hot dog eating contest

er closer than 500 miles or so to the spill.

On Sunday, huge barges used to collect oil from skimming vessels were parked at the mouth of Mobile Bay, waiting for conditions to subside as waves rose to about 5 feet high miles offshore.

The current spate of bad weather is likely to last, according to the National Weather Service. “This should remain fairly persistent through the next few days, and maybe get a little worse,” meteorologist Mike Efferson said.

On the shore, beach cleanup crews were making progress on new oil that washed up thanks to the high tides.

In Grand Isle, about 800 people were removing tar balls and liquid oil from the beach, Coast Guard Cmdr.

Randal Ogrydziak said.

“In a day or two, you wouldn’t be able to tell the oil was even there,” he said.

Six-time hot dog eating contest champion Takeru Kobayashi, center right, is taken into custody Sunday after he jumped on stage at the end of the hot dog eating contest in New Yorks Coney Island.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Cleanup crews across the Gulf of Mexico surveyed damage done by last week’s hurricane while contending Sunday with choppy seas that idled many of the boats dedicated to keeping oil from hitting vulnerable beaches and marshes.

Offshore skimming vessels were able to operate in Louisiana waters, but not off the coasts of Alabama, Mississippi and Florida, officials said.

“We’ve got our guys out there and they’re docked and ready, but safety is a huge concern for us, especially with the smaller vessels,” said Courtnee Ferguson, a spokeswoman for the Joint Information Command in Mobile, Ala. The offshore skimming in those states has essentially been curtailed for nearly a week, thanks to weather generated earlier by Hurricane Alex, even though it was nev-

A Sea Turtle Story

A Quality Serials Story

Lolly was always very careful when she was around Pancake. Sea turtles have no teeth, but they have sharp, powerful beaks that can bite. But Lolly had received training at the hospital. She knew about sea turtles and the proper way to handle them. Still, Pancake never tried to bite Lolly!

Eventually, Pancake didn’t require bandages anymore. She was truly making progress. Things seemed to be going very well––until one day Lolly noticed something wrong.

“Jan, come here, please,” Lolly’s voice was full of concern.

“Something’s wrong with Pancake. She doesn’t seem to be using one of her flippers!”

such as Pancake as a career. She knew that working at the sea turtle hospital gave her invaluable experience. Maybe Lolly didn’t get paid with money, but she knew that she received something much more precious. Through her volunteer work, Lolly gained the knowledge that she could really make a difference in the world.

“Lolly, it’s time to go home,” Jan said.

They said goodnight to Pancake. As she was leaving, the young girl smiled to herself. Yep, she wouldn’t trade her job at the sea turtle hospital for anything in the world!

Slowly, over time, Pancake’s shell began to heal. When her bandages were changed, the wounds were treated with an antibiotic cream and covered with an artificial skin held on by Super Glue!

Every day, Pancake seemed to get a little better. She was eating and gaining weight. Pancake had even grown! Her shell was healing nicely, too. Lolly was thrilled.

Often, Lolly would just visit and talk to Pancake. Sometimes she would give her shell a nice scratching. Pancake loved having her back scratched.

Several cars crash and burn during a wreck in the final laps of the Coke Zero 400 race at Daytona International Speedway.

A three-car accident moments before Bowyer took the white flag set up NASCAR’s version of overtime, and Bowyer and Harvick had to restart side-by-side for the final two-lap sprint. Harvick wasted no time sliding into the lead, while Bowyer got little

help from behind as Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon swapped spots on the restart.

It left Bowyer all alone, and he slipped back into traffic and ultimately spun off the track. Harvick had clear sailing to the checkered flag.

“That really wasn’t the situation that we wanted to be in,” said Harvick, also the winner at Talladega in April. “I wanted to be behind him and be able to push him because it was looking pretty good for us, then that caution came out and

we had to split up because of the double-file restarts. I helped him as much as I could, then we got split up and (Kahne and Gordon) split (Bowyer) and then that was it.”

Kahne was second in a Ford, followed by Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Burton in Chevrolets.

“If you come home with a top five at a restrictor-plate race, you ought to skip all the way home,” Burton said.

Earnhardt, who wasn’t good most of the race, seem-

ingly lucked into the top-five finish but it was enough to move him into eligibility for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. He’s 11th in the standings.

The start of the race was delayed almost 90 minutes by rain, and a 19-car accident with 12 laps to go stopped the action another 20 minutes.

Kyle Busch had a wild night: a loose wheel early in the race forced him to give up the lead, and after driving his way back to the front, contact

with Juan Pablo Montoya while leading ended his night.

Mark Martin had to be pulled from fire by Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson’s crew members, and AJ Allmendinger had a heated conversation with boss Richard Petty after he wrecked out of the race.

Then there was Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch, who exchanged words after the finish but the topic was drowned out by the booming post-race fireworks.

It was all just par for the course, it seemed, at Daytona.

“I’m starting to get used to the fact that every race we go to is basically bumper cars at 190 mph,” Gordon said. “When it comes down to the end, you pretty much know that it’s not going to end like that, that you’re going to have cautions and double-file restarts. It’s just hold on tight.”

Edwards finished sixth and was followed by Kurt Busch, Reed Sorenson, Mike Bliss and Scott Speed.

NADAL FROM 1B

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Along with Maverick Miles, left, Randy Shepherd (24) has helped lead South to its best Legion season ever.

SHEPHERD FROM 1B saw no game action for ASU, partly due to the experienced talent on hand and partly due to health issues. Shepherd has spent two years dealing with arm discomfort.

He was limited to 171⁄3 innings his senior year at West Rowan. He had a great fourinning relief stint at midseason to beat East Rowan at Staton Field (one run, seven Ks), but that was the last time he pitched in high school. Then he was limited to 12 Legion innings before heading to Boone.

Most of Shepherd’s prep highlights came at Carson. He won six games as a junior for the Cougars with a 1.73 ERA and

66 strikeouts, while batting .344.

He hopes to repeat numbers like that at CVCC, a second-year program that debuted with a 31-20 record under former Lenoir-Rhyne coach Frank Pait.

“I’m excited about signing with them,” Shepherd said. “I’ll be living with Brett Huffman (who’s transferring from Catawba), and it looks like I could be the No. 1 guy for a very good team. They’ve also told me I’ll get a chance to swing the bat this fall to show them what I can do.”

Shepherd, who reports to CVCC Aug. 16, realized he probably wasn’t going to see the mound often at ASU in 2011.

“The App coaches were all for me doing this,” he said. “I just want to show them that I’m healthy. Hopefully, they’ll have a scholarship for me down the road.”

With eight Grand Slam titles, Nadal joins a list of greats that includes Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl, Fred Perry and Ken Rosewall. He also has five French Open championships and one Australian Open title.

All that’s missing for a career Grand Slam is the U.S. Open title.

“For sure the U.S. Open is going to be one of my goals for the rest of my career,” Nadal said. “But right now (my goal) is to enjoy the beach, fishing, golf, friends, party, and Mallorca.”

Nadal posed with the trophy in the clubhouse next to the green board with his name already etched as the 2010 winner. He cradled the trophy under his left arm as he signed autographs outside the members’ entrance, where hundreds of fans gathered to see him.

Nadal is the first Spanish man to win Wimbledon twice. Manolo Santana took the title in 1966.

“For the Spanish players for the last 40 years it was very difficult to play here,” Nadal said. “We are doing better right now. We are very satisfied for that.”

In a match short on drama and spectacular points, played in windy conditions, Nadal beat Berdych for the seventh straight time — a span covering 17 consecutive sets.

Berdych was playing in his first Grand Slam final and was the first Czech to reach the Wimbledon final since Ivan Lendl in 1987.

He had beaten top-seeded Federer and No. 3 Novak Djokovic en route to the final, but couldn’t find a way to take out the secondseeded Nadal as well.

Nadal won all the big points against the 24year-old Czech, who failed to convert any of his four break points.

“He was strong,” Berdych said. “I think the biggest difference between us was that when he got a chance, he just took it. He gave

SERENAS BESTSHOT

WIMBLEDON, England — As a kid, 13 Grand Slam titles ago, Serena Williams tended to goof off when it came time to work on serves.

She was supposed to hit them at the end of practice sessions with her sister Venus.

“We always talked a lot,” Serena said. “I don’t remember serving; I just remember talking. Lord knows what we were talking about, but we never stopped talking, unless my dad was looking at us. Then we would serve. Then when he wasn’t looking, we would just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk.”

Despite all the chitchat, Serena learned from her father the shot that served her well at Wimbledon. She hit a record 89 aces and won the title for the fourth time, beating Vera Zvonareva in Saturday’s final.

Williams said she planned to award the trophy to her serve.

“It’s well deserved,” she said. “I just really hope I can keep up serving like this. It’s a new turn in my life.”

This time, Rose doesn’t blow it Associated Press

The golf roundup ...

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Clinging to a one-shot lead, Justin Rose stood over his tee shot on the 18th hole at the AT&T National when he heard fireworks in the distance. The celebration had started somewhere in Philadelphia, just not Aronimink.

Rose knew that from experience.

Only a week ago in the Travelers Championship, he took a three-shot lead into the final round and collapsed on the back nine for a 75. On Sunday at Aronimink, he was five shots clear going to the back nine and found himself in a battle he didn’t expect.

He lost another big lead.

This time, he didn’t lose the tournament.

Rose hit every green in regulation on the back nine, including the final one, and closed with seven straight pars

for an even-par 70 to win for the second time in three starts on the PGA Tour.

The relief at the Memorial came from winning for the first time in America.

The relief at Aronimink was for learning not to lose.

“I knew having not closed out last week it was important for me — just for myself — to do it today,” Rose said after his one-shot victory over hardcharging Ryan Moore. “Still, it’s never easy to close these things out, I’ll tell you.”

He sure made it hard on himself.

Staked to a five-shot lead at the turn after a 5-wood to tap-in range for eagle on the ninth hole, Rose had three-putt bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes — after having gone 274 holes without one on the PGA Tour — and just like that, the game was on.

Moore one-putted his last eight greens, including a 12foot par putt on the 18th hole,

for a Sunday-best 65 to make Rose work to the very end.

• BLAINVILLE, Quebec — Larry Mize won the inaugural Montreal Championship for his first Champions Tour victory, closing with an 8-under 64 for a one-stroke victory over John Cook at Fontainebleau Golf Club.

The 51-year-old Mize, the 1987 Masters champion, had an eagle, seven birdies and a bogey in the final round to finish at 17-under 199.

Cook shot a 68.

• VERSAILLES, France — Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez of Spain won the French Open for his second victory of the season and 17th career European tour title, beating countryman Alejandro Canizares and Italy’s Francesco Molinari in a playoff.

NEW YORK — From Cleveland to Chicago, South Florida to the New York area, it was a mostly quiet Fourth of July in the NBA. The real fireworks could come next week.

With LeBron James and other big names taking time to ponder their futures, the free agent market was in many ways on hold for the holiday.

Once they reach their conclusions, things will start to heat up again.

“I’m sure everyone is ready to get a decision going,” Dwyane Wade told Chicago’s NBC-Channel 5.

Wade said he planned to use the weekend to think after meeting twice with the Bulls, plus getting visits from the Knicks and Nets. He’s scheduled to be at a charity function outside Miami on Tuesday, but it would be surprising if he used that event to announce his plans, because it’s believed he will not have had his formal sitdown with Heat present Pat Riley until later in the week.

James was expected to spend the holiday relaxing at his Bath, Ohio, home with family and friends. It will be a chance to catch his breath after a whirlwind three days during which six teams gave him reasons why he should continue his career wearing a new No. 6 jersey in their colors.

Not surprisingly, the Cavaliers’ pitch focused on his allegiance and loyalty to

home, and included a video presentation that included highlights from James’ seven seasons in Cleveland and testimonials from fans asking him to stay in Northeast Ohio. The team posted a portion of the video on its website on Sunday.

Beyond his decision, James has a busy week ahead. He is hosting a Nike camp at Akron University, where he recently accepted his second straight MVP award and was honored by the city with a day of appreciation in an outdoor event at the school’s football stadium.

It’s possible James could announce his decision in his hometown during or following the camp, which will feature some of the nation’s top high school players.

Besides the Cavs, the other teams anticipating word from James are Chicago, Miami, New Jersey, New York and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Some of them spent the past two seasons clearing around $30 million of salary cap space so they could afford to sign James and another marquee free agent.

Now they’re asking him to walk away from $30 million, roughly the difference between a six-year deal to stay in Cleveland and the five-year contract the competitors can offer him under the collective bargaining agreement.

The messages on lebronjames.com are simple: “Getting closer” and “You’ll be the first to know.”

Advisor: Nowitzki staying in Dallas Associated Press

DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki is sticking with the Dallas Mavericks.

Next question: Will he and Jason Kidd be able to lure anyone to join them?

Nowitzki’s adviser, Holger Geschwindner, told The Associated Press late Saturday night that Nowitzki and Mavs owner Mark Cuban have agreed “to get it done.” Teams and free agents can strike deals at any time, but can’t sign them until Thursday.

According to a person familiar with negotiations, the deal is for more than $80 million over four years, with a notrade clause.

“I think it’s a great deal,” Geschwindner said. “We’re pumped.”

The deal was first reported by ESPN. The 2007 NBA MVP has spent his entire 12-year career in Dallas. He is the franchise’s career scoring and rebounding leader and has led the Mavs to 10 straight 50-win seasons.

But they haven’t won a title. They’ve won only a single playoff series since blowing a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA finals.

At 32, Nowitzki feels he can remain at an elite level for several more years, and

Cuban certainly agrees.

Although Dallas lacks the salary cap room to sign the big names, the club has all sorts of desirable pieces piled up to make sign-and-trade deals. Nowitzki helped free up some money by NOWITZKI not pushing for his maximum deal, which would’ve been $96 million.

JOHNSON STAYS IN ATLANTA ATLANTA — All-Star guard Joe Johnson has agreed to a maximum contract to stay with the Hawks, his agent said.

Arn Tellem confirmed an entry he wrote for the Huffington Post website, in which he said Johnson “announced his intention to re-sign with the Hawks for six more years.”

Tellem wrote that Johnson chose to remain in Atlanta over Chicago and New York, where he would have been reunited with Mike D’Antoni, his former coach in Phoenix.

The Hawks could pay him nearly $120 million, while other teams could only give Johnson five years and pay him about $25 million less.

JOHANNESBURG — A week ago, Europe was done, its biggest stars flops, its supremacy in international soccer hijacked by South America.

Europe is back in its traditional power spot at the World Cup, producing three of the four semifinalists and ensuring its streak of having at least one team in the final since 1934 will continue.

The only outsider remaining is Uruguay, and if it loses to the Netherlands on Tuesday, Europe will be guaranteed its first title in a World Cup held outside the continent. Germany plays Spain in the

NFL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vince Young knows exactly how he wants to remember his mentor on the oneyear anniversary of his death.

“I’m going to go out to Momma Mac’s house,” Young said of McNair’s mother. “I’m going to go out there and spend the weekend with Momma Mac in Mississippi. It’s the one-year anniversary of Steve not being here.”

McNair was known for his bluecollar work ethic and ability to play hurt during a 13-year NFL career with Houston/Tennessee and Baltimore. That reputation could be why

people still struggle to accept how he died. McNair, 36, was shot four times, once on each side of the head and twice in the chest, the victim of a murder-suicide by his 20-year-old mistress on the Fourth of July.

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Changing out of his golf shoes after another frustrating round at Aronimink, Tiger Woods could not think of the last time he failed to finish a regular PGA Tour event without breaking par.

“Maybe a Tour Championship?” he asked.

Not quite. It was 11 years ago at the Bay Hill Invitational when Woods shot par or worse all four rounds, He matched that dubious distinction Sunday in the AT&T National by closing with a 1-over 71, to follow scores of 73-7070.

What sent Woods to Ireland in such good spirits, however, was that he could not remember the last time he drove the ball this well.

He measured that not by any statistics, but by having so much confidence in where it was going that he found himself talking caddie Steve Williams into hitting driver.

Usually it’s the other way around.

He was never a factor as the defending champion of the AT&T National, playing so early that the leaders were just teeing off about the time Woods finished both rounds on the weekend. Even so, Woods didn’t hesitate when asked if he made progress.

“I did,” he said. “I drove it pretty good this week.”

CHICAGO — Drew Stubbs hit three of the Cincinnati Reds’ season-high seven home runs on Sunday to lead a 14-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs.

The Reds had four of the homers during an eight-run seventh inning, all coming after Cubs starter Ted Lilly (3-7) retired the first two batters. Brandon Phillips began the barrage with a solo shot to left, and Jonny Gomes added a two-run homer. Jeff Stevens then surrendered a solo home run to Corky Miller, and after back-to-back walks, Stubbs went deep for the second time.

He also hit a solo home run in the third inning and another solo shot in the ninth.

Mike Leake (6-1) picked up the victory.

Marlins 3, Braves 2 ATLANTA — Dan Uggla homered and drove in all three Florida runs, Ricky Nolasco pitched seven strong innings and the Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Sunday.

The loss dropped Atlanta’s lead in the NL East to two games over the New York Mets.

Padres 3, Astros 2 SAN DIEGO — Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a bases-loaded single up the middle with one out in the ninth inning to help the Padres take three of four from the struggling Astros.

It was the Padres’ 11th win in their final at-bat at home and their third straight.

Heath Bell (4-0) pitched a perfect ninth for the win.

Dodgers 3, Diamondbacks 1 PHOENIX — Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer off reliever Aaron Heilman in the eighth inning and the Los Angeles Dodgers went on to beat Arizona 3-1 on Sunday to take two of three from the Diamondbacks.

Drew Stubbs, right, celebrates with teammate Jonny Gomes after hitting his third homer.

Francisco and Arizona to improve to 23-6 against NL West foes overall.

Cardinals 7, Brewers 1 ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright threw a five-hitter and added a three-run double off fellow first-time All-Star Yovani Gallardo, and the Cardinals coasted to an easy win.

Gallardo (8-4) left in the third inning with a side injury, after allowing six runs in his shortest outing of the season. Only one of them was earned.

Mets 9, Nationals 5 WASHINGTON— Jason Bay drove in four runs, Angel Pagan drove in two more and All-Star third baseman David Wright added two hits and scored two runs for the

Mets.

Ike Davis added a two-run homer in the third inning to make a winner of Hisanori Takahashi (7-3).

Pirates 8, Phillies 5 PITTSBURGH — Garrett Jones and Delwyn Young drove in two runs each during a six-run seventh inning, and the last-place Pirates beat the Phillies for the third time in four games.

Rockies 4, Giants 3, 15 innings DENVER — The Rockies blew a threerun lead in the eighth inning Sunday, then watched Todd Helton rescue them with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 15th that gave Colorado a 4-3 win.

All-Star hurler hurts side ST. LOUIS (AP) — Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo experienced a roller coaster of emotions.

Prior to starting against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, Gallardo was told he’d made his first All-Star team.

Then the 24-year-old right-hander strained a left side muscle in the third inning of a 7-1 loss, and now he isn’t sure when he’ll pitch again.

Gallardo clutched his back after an 0-2 curveball to Tyler Greene. He walked off the field with a member of the training staff and said afterward that the area was still sore.

Gallardo lasted 22⁄3 innings, his shortest of the season. He gave up six runs but only one was earned.

“After I threw that pitch, it just kind of tightened up on me,” he said. “It feels the same now, so we’ll see.”

He’ll be evaluated by team physician Dr. William Raasch on Monday in Milwaukee.

“It’s not a good feeling when you’re walking to the mound and your best guy has a problem,” Macha said.

NEW YORK — One insidethe-park-home run. Two blown leads. Three runners thrown out at the plate. And on the Fourth of July, a pinch-hit single to win it in the 10th inning.

George Steinbrenner got one wild 80th birthday present from his New York Yankees.

“He probably would have been in and out of his seat a few times,” Derek Jeter said.

The Boss, who followed the game from Florida, would have had a happy birthday in the end, though. Pinch-hitter Marcus Thames hit a game-ending sin-

gle in the bottom of the 10th for a 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday.

Activated off the DL earlier in the day, Thames blooped a hit over the infield and Robinson Cano scored from second.

Mariano Rivera gave up DeWayne Wise’s tying single in the ninth. Earlier, Wise lost a ball in the sun, allowing the Yankees to tie it in the sixth on Brett Gardner’s inside-the-park homer.

Rays 7, Twins 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Evan Longoria had three hits and three RBIs, and Sean Rodriguez homered among his three hits, leading Tampa Bay. Longoria’s

two-run single highlighted a five-run seventh inning for the Rays, who won their first series in nearly a month.

Mariners 8, Tigers 1 DETROIT — Russell Branyan and Casey Kotchman each hit a three-run homer, and All-Star Cliff Lee fell an inning short of another complete game.

Lee, who had been trying to match the longest streak in the big leagues since Roy Halladay completed four games in a row in April 2008, allowed a run on nine hits and a walk.

Orioles 6, Red Sox 1 BOSTON — Brian Matusz pitched shutout ball for seven

innings and the Baltimore Orioles picked up their third win in 20 games at Fenway Park.

Athletics 3, Indians 1 CLEVELAND — Vin Mazzaro pitched into the eighth inning and upstaged Cleveland All-Star Fausto Carmona.

White Sox 5, Rangers 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Alexei Ramirez hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth.

Royals-A’s This game wasn’t finished at the Post’s early holiday deadline. The Angels were romping 12-0 late behind Joel Piniero’s pitching and two home runs and seven RBIs by Torii Hunter.

In the event that the Owner and Holder is exempt from paying the same, the successful bidder may also be required to pay revenue stamps on the Trustee's Deed, any Land Transfer Tax, and the tax required by N.C.G.S. Section 7A-308 (a) (1).

NOTICE TO OCCUPANTS: 1. That an order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold.

2. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination.

3. Any tenant who resides in residential real property containing less than 15 rental units that is being sold in a foreclosure proceeding under Article 2A of Chapter 45 of the General Statutes may terminate the rental agreement for the dwelling unit after receiving notice pursuant to G.S. 45-21.17(4) by providing the landlord with a written notice of termination to be effective on a date stated in the notice that is at least 10 days after the date of the notice of sale. Upon termination of a rental agreement under this sections, the tenant is liable for the rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination payable at the time that would have been required by the terms of the rental agreement.

Reasons for such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the Trustee(s). The Trustee in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

The sale will be held open for ten (10) days for upset bids as by law required.

Last week, I stressed that declarer should take time before playing from the dummy at trick one. While declarer is thinking, the defenders should also be analyzing the deal. In particular, each should ask himself this question: Where might we get the tricks that we need to defeat the contract?

Also, if declarer plays quickly from the dummy, it is a good idea for third hand to request a time out. He should say something like, “Please wait a moment. I wish to think about the deal.” This also gives his partner a chance to decide how the defense should proceed.

Occasionally third hand’s trick-one play will be critical — as in this deal. You are East, defending against two spades.

West leads the heart ace, playing ace from ace-king. What are your thoughts?

You are expected to make an attitude signal. And with the queen, normally you would encourage by playing your eight.

However, if partner continues hearts, you cannot defeat the contract. When declarer gets in at trick four, he unblocks his diamond ace-king, draws trumps ending in the dummy, and discards two clubs on the diamond queen and 10 to net an overtrick.

If you think for a while, you will see the advantage of a club shift. Signal with your heart two. Partner should work out to lead the club nine at trick two. You win with the jack and lead a low heart to partner’s king for a second club lead.

Today’s celebrity birthdays Actress Shirley Knight is 74. Musician Robbie Robertson is 67. Singer Huey Lewis is 60. Country keyboardist Charles Ventre of River Road is 58. Singer Marc Cohn is 51. Actress Edie Falco is 47. Actress Kathryn Erbe is 45. Rapper RZA is 41.

Singer Joe is 37. Drummer Bengt Lagerberg of The Cardigans is 37. Rapper Bizarre of D12 is 34. Singer Jason Wade of Lifehouse is 30. Musician Dave Haywood of Lady Antebellum is 28.

Chronic yeast infection needs better care

Third hand should pause at trick one

Your side will take the first six tricks: three hearts and three clubs.

Always take the dummy and your hand into account when choosing your signal at trick one.

Former Miss California Prejean marries Raiders QB SAN DIEGO (AP) — Former Miss California Carrie Prejean is now Mrs. Kyle Boller, after marrying the Oakland Raiders quarterback at a San Diego resort.

The San Diego Union Tribune says the dethroned beauty queen and the 29-year-old quarterback tied the knot late Friday in a private ceremony at the Grand Del Mar. Among the guests were Gateway computer founder Ted Waitt, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Matt Nordgren.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 70year-old active woman who has had a yeast infection for almost five years. I have gone to several doctors and have been given prescriptions for all of the usual medicines for yeast infections, the latest being DR. PETER Premarin vaginal GOTT cream plus clobetasol propionate cream. All of these prescriptions have worked, but the infection always comes back within two months. The last time the infection was almost to the staph stage.

After my last infection, a biopsy was done. The report said: “Vulvar Biopsy: Ulceration with very severe active chronic inflammation and numerous plasma cells.

A serology for spirochetes was negative.” The microscopic description said: “The skin surface is covered by squamous epithelium which is moderately to extensively eroded. There are superficially dilated capillaries and there is a dense infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells in the upper dermis.

Warthin-Starry stain is negative with appropriately reacting controls. Immunostain for AE1/AE3 is negative for epithelial component.

Positive and negative controls worked as expected.”

My concern is that the Premarin cream is now making my ankles swell, and my

blood pressure has gone up.

(It is usually normal.) Also, when I call my OB/Gyn, I am no longer asked to come; they simply call in a prescription. I am never told to return for a follow-up and feel that this is because I am on Medicare. So far, this has happened with three separate gynecologists.

Dear Reader: Let’s start with the biopsy report. First, ulceration is easy to understand. This simply means that you have a sore.

Whether it was caused by scratching or something else is unclear. Inflammation means swelling. Again, this could be caused by scratching or the infection itself.

The identification of numerous plasma cells is more telling. These cells are a type of short-lived antibody-producing leukocyte (a type of white blood cell) that binds with a foreign substance (or what the body perceives to be a foreign substance) and then begins to neutralize or destroy it. Lymphocytes are another type of leukocyte and determine the specificity of the immune reaction to foreign substances and infectious agents.

All of this indicates that your body is fighting off an infection of some sort, is incorrectly attacking normal cells, or is overreacting to a substance you have come

into contact with, such as perfumed feminine-hygiene products.

Now, on to what is causing your so-called yeast infection. First, you do not say what symptoms you are experiencing, so I will first review them. These can range from mild to severe and include redness and swelling of the vulva; itching, irritation, pain and/or soreness of the vulva and vagina; a thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge similar in appearance to cottage cheese; and a burning sensation.

Yeasts are typically present within a normal vagina and in most instances do not present problems.
