Watt: Politics drives redrawing of minority district GOP control over state Legislature allows party to adjust boundaries BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — U.S. Rep. Mel Watt said in a statement Tuesday that state legislators have violated a law that protects minorities from discrimination in their proposed Congressional redistricting plan. “It represents a disappointing effort by the Republicans to dilute and minimize the po-

litical influence of AfricanAmerican voters in the Piedmont by packing all of them into the 12th District so none of them have influence in adjoining districts,” Watt said. “It also represents a sinister Republican effort to use African Americans as pawns in their effort to gain partisan, political gains in Congress.” Watt is one of two African American federal representatives in North Carolina.

Under the N.C. General Assembly’s proposal released Friday, Watt’s 12th Congressional District would lose ground in the northwestern and eastern parts of Rowan County and cut a narrower swath through the center. It would continue to snake from Charlotte north along Interstate 85 to Greensboro and take in parts of WinstonSalem. The black voting-age population in the 12th District would increase from the current 44 percent to just over 50 percent. Watt says lawmakers have violated the federal Voting

Rights Act and court cases interpreting it, which forbid drawing districts that dilute minority voting strength. WATT “The Republicans have gone out of their way to pack AfricanAmerican voters into the 12th District and, in the process, have made race the compelling rationale for the proposed district,” Watt said in his statement.

SALISBURY — The Salvation Army Family store has a new larger location in a move that was years in the making. When Corps Capt. Jason Smith and his wife, Melissa, came on board in 2009, they knew the former store needed improvements “in order to be effective in the community,” Jason Smith said. The store had been at its South Main Street location for more than three decades according to a longtime advisory board member. The new location, 1400 W. Jake Alexander Blvd., formerly housed NorthGate Church and sits across from Wingfoot Commercial Tire. “It’s kind of bittersweet, but we moved in order to be donor, customer and client friendly,” Smith said. Although volunteers are

Smith said he saw an ad to lease the building months ago and looked into it. Not only will the building hold the store, but it will also have office space, a food pantry and a donation dropoff.

Donations can be dropped off on the side of the building at a newly built dock. By late December, the administrative staff will also be in the building. “We can reach more people in this location. The traffic count is twice as high, if not higher in this area as on Main Street. This will be ideal for the community. The building is 2,000

SALISBURY — An existing industry in Rowan County is considering a project that would add 148 jobs to its local workforce. Robert Van Geons told the Rowan County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday that “Project New Earth” also would generate $71 million of new investment. “The proposed project is a new joint venture involving an existing international company already operating in Rowan County as one principal partner,” Van Geons said. “We are facing both domestic and international competition for this.” He said the company is requesting an incentive agreement under the county’s investment grant program. Commissioners previously agreed not to hold a second

meeting in July, but Van Geons said the request is urgent. He asked the board to set a public hearing for no later than July 27, because the company plans to decide how to proceed on July 28. Chairman Chad Mitchell asked what would happen if commissioners waited until Commissioners their next agree to another meeting on hearing on tower Aug. 1. plan, 2A “ W e would simply make a case to the company based on policy and precedents of your past decisions,” Van Geons said. “But any incentives that could be awarded by the state, should you choose not to approve or support this project, would also be lost in

Anthony verdict: Rowan residents call decision ‘travesty’ BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

ALISBURY — Many Rowan residents said Tuesday they didn’t agree with a Florida jury’s acquittal of Casey Anthony in the death of her daughter. One Salisbury woman called it a “travesty.” Anthony had been charged with murder in the 2008 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. The child’s body was found in woods six months after she was reported missing. Anthony was convicted only on four counts of lying to the investigators searching for her daughter’s body. Glenda Barber, a Rowan resident, gasped after hearing of the verdict. “I’ve been following the trial. I didn’t know about the verdict, but I think it’s a travesty that she was found not guilty,” Barber said.

Barber said as a mother, she couldn’t imagine not reporting her child missing. Anthony waited one month before reporting Caylee missing, according to reports. BARBER “If nothing else for the reason that she waited 31 days to even acknowledge the baby wasn’t with her,” Barber said. “I think the scales of justice were tipped the wrong way this time. It defies all logic. At what point do you believe a liar? The fact that she lies, to me, makes me think that she’s guilty.” Barber said she also doubted the defense attorney’s argument that after discovering Caylee’s body in the family’s swimming pool, Today’s forecast 88º/70º Potential for more rain lingers

Anthony and her father tried to make the accident look like a murder. “If it’s an accident, you don’t make it look like a murder by bagging the child up and putting the child in a wooded area,” Barber said. “I just don’t understand how a mother misplaces a child and doesn’t do anything about it.” Jasmine Skeen, a Salisbury resident, said she also thought Anthony deserved to be convicted. “If she had duct tape in the car, why is she not guilty? If she didn’t report her child missing, why is she not

guilty?” Skeen asked. “I think she should have been guilty on more counts than what they gave her.” Skeen said she wasn’t completely convinced it was murder, but said Anthony should have been convicted on more than the four counts of lying to investigators. “I think she had a part to do with the murder, so she should have been charged SKEEN with something other than what they did charge her with,” Skeen said. Salisbury resident David Houston said Anthony’s father’s account changed his opinion during the trial.

S TAT E / A R E A / C O N T I N U E D

Proposed NC district map evokes Miller’s 2001 role leased increased the percentage of Republican registered voters in the 13th District by more than 10 percentage points. The GOP map removed more than 200,000 Wake County voters from Miller’s current district and added Republican-leaning Surry and Stokes counties and the portion of the Rockingham County that had been in the 5th District. The 13th also would no longer include portions of Greensboro. Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg, the current Senate Redistricting Committee chairman, also dismissed the district lines as a way to enact revenge on Miller, pointing out all incumbents would remain in their current districts. But Rucho said it was inappropriate for Miller to run for a seat he had a hand in drawing. “He got exactly what he wanted,” Rucho said. “If this was payback, why would he be sitting back in his district?” Rucho was drawn out of his Senate district in 2003, after Miller already had left the Legislature for Congress. Rucho returned to the Legislature in 2008.

Rockingham County District Attorney Phil Berger Jr. told the Associated Press on Tuesday he’s considering a bid for the more right-tilting 13th District, which now also would stretch into parts of Forsyth, Orange, Durham, Franklin and Vance counties. The younger Berger, who was reelected to a four-year term last year, said he likes what he’s doing now as a prosecutor but serving in Congress “would be an interesting opportunity for anybody.” He could face allegations of favoritism, because his father leads a chamber that would help draw the districts and vote on them. Berger already lives in Miller’s 13th District. He said winning an election is “not about your father, but it’s about the message that you can bring.” Forsyth County Republican Party Chairman Nathan Tabor announced over the weekend he would run for the seat. Tabor ran in the GOP primary for the 5th District seat in 2004. Miller said it was too early to discuss whether he would run again next year but that the proposed

boundaries would delete areas where he has lived and worked for decades and put them in the 4th District represented by Democrat David Price. Miller said he would like to keep working in Congress on financial reform and environmental issues. The draft map also would increase the percentages of GOP voters in the 11th District represented by U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, the 8th District of Rep. Larry Kissell and the 7th District by Rep. Mike McIntyre. The eight-term incumbent McIntyre may have the best opportunity among the four to retain a seat. Democrats argue Republicans are packing their voters into essentially three districts to make surrounding seats more beneficial to Republican candidates. Two of the three districts would be considered majority black districts represented by incumbents Mel Watt in the 12th District and G.K. Butterfield in the 1st District. Rucho said mapmakers “followed the letter of the law” and created districts that would allow black voters the chance to elect their favorite whenever Watt or Butterfield ultimately retires.

county’s decision, but a threejudge panel of the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld the denial in September 2007, and so did the N.C. Supreme Court. Reamer said pilots gave expert testimony in that case that the maximum safe height for a tower at that location would be 650 to 700 feet. In its new application, Davidson County Broadcasting says it plans to submit evidence to the contrary and show that the tower would not create hazardous traffic or air safety conditions. “They say 1,200 feet is different,” Reamer said. “But it is not substantially different enough to make a difference in what your decision would be.” Stephen Holton, the attorney representing Davidson County Broadcasting and Parkers, said this is a completely different application than the one already rejected. He said there have been changes in the site plan, land mass, fall zone, setbacks, tower engineering and design, number of bays and especially tower height. In addition, adjoining property owners Maurice and Mary Parker have been added as parties, because a portion of the proposed fall zone for the tower would be on their land. “We contend there are substantial changes,” Holton said. “The issues of the height of

the tower and the hazard and safety issues as it relates to the new evidence... are something the board has to consider.” Commissioner Jim Sides agreed that based on the information presented, there has been a “considerable change” in this application from the previous one. “The previous decision was made based primarily on safety factors,” Sides said. “We do not know at this point if a 1,200-foot tower versus a 1,350-foot tower — what the facts would be in relation to safety.” Commissioner Jon Barber voted not to reject the dismissal. He said commissioners denied the permit in 2005 based on the same findings of fact they would be considering now. The board then agreed to schedule a quasi-judicial hearing for the permit at 4 p.m. Aug. 1, one hour after the start of their 3 p.m. regular meeting. Commissioners have asked that local residents not contact them about the case until that hearing, in order to let them make a decision based on the facts presented there. Members of the public will be given time to speak after the parties present their cases. Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

Two charged in connection with break-in, jewelry theft EAST SPENCER — Two people were charged in connection with a break-in that led to stolen jewelry being pawned, Spencer Police said Tuesday night. Taneisha Watson, 20, of Clancy Street in Salisbury was charged Tuesday night with felony breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and entering, and conspiracy to breaking and enter. The charges were filed after a person reported that someone returned a portion of some stolen jewelry after a breakin, Police Chief Floyd baldo said. The break-in happened in the 400 block of Boundary Street in East Spencer on April 15. The name of the person who made the report is being withheld to protect their safety, Baldo said, but the person told police that Watson had re-

turned several stolen pieces of “costume jewelry” to the victim on April 21. The person also said several stolen gold necklaces had been pawned at a local pawn shop. Baldo found the stolen necklaces on Apri 22 at the pawn shop and they were returned to the victim. Baldo said the jewelry was pawned by Titus King II, 19, of North Railroad Avenue in East Spencer. Spencer Police are looking for King on charges of felony breaking and entering, larceny after breaking and conspiracy to break and enter. Watson’s bond was set at $1,500 and a court appearance is scheduled for Friday.

SALISBURY — County commissioners will hear arguments next month about a radio station’s second permit application to build a broadcast tower in western Rowan County. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to deny a motion to dismiss the application after a quasi-judicial hearing. The motion was submitted by a citizens’ group made up of the Miller Airpark Association, the Mount Ulla Historic Preservation Society and James and Marian Rollans. Davidson County Broadcasting, along with Richard L. and Dorcas Parker, has re-

quested a conditional use permit to build a 1,200-foot broadcast tower on property owned by the Parkers in Mount Ulla. Richard Reamer, the attorney representing the citizens‘ group, said dismissal would be justified based on legal principles preventing the rehearing of issues that have been previously decided. Reamer said the May 2010 permit application deals with the same issues and decisions as the one previously denied by commissioners in November 2005. In 2005, the board decided that a 1,350-foot tower on the same property would present a safety hazard to a nearby private airstrip, Miller Airpark. The company appealed the

black voting age population found in the current Twelfth District,” they said. “We believe that this measure will ensure preclearance of the plan.” N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan and Davie counties and is vice chairman of the redistricting committee, said Friday that the districts abide by the Voting Rights Act. He said the districts take into account that urban areas such as Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro have grown in population more than other places in North Carolina over the past decade. That population growth meant districts with urban areas got geographically smaller while more rural districts grew. He also said Friday that partisan politics had nothing to do with how the proposed new lines were drawn.

has been exaggerated, particularly in getting the congressional maps approved. He said the districts he helped draw reflected North Carolina as a competitive two-party state. Republicans are overhauling his district as part of a broader plan that would increase the chances of Miller and at least two other Democratic incumbents losing their seats. “They’re doing it because they can,” MILLER Miller said in an interview. “It has much more to do with the work that I’m doing in Washington — there are some very powerful interest groups that I have been making a nuisance to ... than some kind of payback.” Democrats currently have a 7-6 seat advantage in North Carolina’s congressional delegation, but Republicans now get the chance to redraw the boundaries for the next decade because they won majorities in both chambers of the General Assembly in last fall’s elections.

RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina congressman said Tuesday he doesn’t consider proposed new boundaries for his Piedmont-area district payback for how he helped draw U.S. House districts 10 years ago. Five-term Democratic Rep. Brad Miller of Raleigh estimated the apartment where he now lives sits barely 200 yards within the 13th Congressional District proposed by Republicans late last week. The proposed boundaries contain all or portions of 14 counties, compared to the current seven, and may contain less than one-third of his current constituents, Miller said. The 13th District proposal already has two Republicans talking about running for it next year, including the son of state Senate leader Phil Berger. Miller was in the state Senate in 2001 and led the Senate Redistricting Committee that helped come up with current congressional boundaries, including a new 13th seat for North Carolina. He ran the following year and won. Miller, 58, said his power in the redistricting process a decade ago

SPENCER GETS SILLY Library hosts summer reading program for kids B Y N ATHAN H ARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

Almost 3,000 Silly Bandz bracelets will be given to children in Spencer as part of the Spencer Public Library’s summer program for kids. The program called “Read Yourself Silly” will reward students with one pack of Silly Bandz for registration, and will hand out one additional pack for each hour spent reading. Cyndi Atwell, the Spencer Library’s librarian and a former teacher, said the purpose of the program is to increase literacy by allowing kids to continue reading throughout the summer. “I hated the first month of school because I had to reteach everything,” Atwell said. Atwell said she wants to engage students over the summer and was contacted by Beth Nance, one of the library’s supporters and a member of the Spencer Women’s Club, about a program she had seen on the Internet, which promoted reading by using Silly Bandz as incentives. “(Nance) found a summer reading program called ‘Read Yourself Silly’ and we just took it from there,” Atwell said. According to Atwell, the Spencer Women’s Club, headed by Alane Mills, and a local Walgreens store worked together to provide 2,775 Silly Bandz for the program. The Spencer Library is the only independent library in Rowan County. Nance said she expects the program to help students continue to read during the summer months. “Summer regression is such a problem among young people,” Nance said. “I think that’s an important aspect of the program.” Atwell, who has been with the Spencer Public Library since it’s reopening last Thanksgiving, said donations and volunteers in large part sustain the library and its programs. The library closed in 2009 after lead paint was found flaking from interior walls.

“This is my passion,” Atwell said about her motivation for the programs. “North Middle made a large donation back in December.

The library will also offer special programs 3 p.m. every Thursday in July. She said it will host guest speakers and authors, including Marian Ly-

The town faced backlash after announcing in June they would cut the library’s hours back to

two days a week with one Saturday per month. Town Clerk Lisa Perdue said the Board of Aldermen decided not to cut the library’s hours, but that the library wasn’t singled out in initial budget cuts. “The library was not singled out,” Perdue said. “We had to make cuts from all departments. The only way to cut (the library’s budget) was to cut their hours.”

SALISBURY — Authorities charged three teenagers with breaking into a Goodman Lake Road man’s camper and stealing a rifle. Then they charged the owner of the camper with using it to grow marijuana. According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, two deputies spotted a pickup parked in a driveway off Goodman Lake Road about 1:30 a.m. on Friday. Two males left the truck and ran into nearby woods. Investigating, the deputies found the driver of the truck, later identified as Johnathan Alexander Jacobs, 17, of 485 Jacobs Lambe Lane, had a rifle with a scope in the seat next to him. The rifle had been shortened by 18 inches and the stock replaced with a “crudely fashioned” stock, JACOBS Sheriff’s Capt. John Sifford said. Deputy M.T. Poole also discovered a claw hammer and hatchet in the truck. Jacobs was charged with possession of a weapon of mass destruction and possession of burglary tools, both felonies. As Poole dealt with the driver, Deputy L.W. Melton followed the two passengers, later identified as POLNISCH Joshua Zachariah Polnisch, 17, of 360 Hedrick Lambe Drive, and Raheem Gibby, 16, of 6255 Goodman Lake Road. Each of the teenagers was charged with breaking and entering a building, possession of burglary tools, larceny of a firearm and possession of a weapon of mass destruction, all felonies. Polnisch was also charged with GIBBY misdemeanor possession of alcohol by person under 21. He told the deputies the beer was his, but that he “wasn’t driving,” Sifford said. The deputy told the teen he was still underage. Gibby told a deputy he had permission from the homeowner to use the gun to shoot possum at a friend’s house, Sifford said. The owner of the camper, Roger Kelly Martin,

Man taunts officers, ends up in jail BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY— Authorities say a Salisbury man wanted for violating a domestic violence protection order called to tell law enforcement officers they couldn’t find him — shortly before they found him. Jason Michael Riddle, 30, called 911 dispatch to taunt officers, saying they would not arrest him “until he was ready,” said Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. But authorities were able to determine Riddle’s whereabouts and found him in the woods not far from his home at 1608 St. Paul’s Church RIDDLE Road, Sifford said. Officers searched the area they believed Riddle to be in and could hear him yelling at them, Sifford said. He was spotted leaving a nearby barn. Searching Riddle, deputies discovered a cellophane wrapper containing marijuana. Riddle has previously been convicted of driving while impaired, multiple offenses of underage alcohol possession, speeding to elude arrest, impersonating a peace officer, larceny and carrying a concealed weapon. He remained in the Rowan County Detention Center without bond Tuesday for the domestic violence order violation and $500 bond for the simple marijuana possession charge. Riddle is scheduled to appear in district court in August. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

City Council to discuss establishing steering committee for West End project SALISBURY — The Salisbury City Council will consider Thursday authorizing a steering committee to oversee planning for the transformation of the West End neighborhood. It’s the next step in the city’s efforts to win up to $30 million in federal grant funding to implement the vision. The council will meet at 4 p.m. Thursday, it’s regularly scheduled meeting delayed by the July Fourth holiday. Salisbury already has won a $170,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to come up with a plan for revitalizing the West End, making it the smallest of 17 cities across the nation in the running for the larger pool

of funding. To be written by the Salisbury Housing Authority and the city of Salisbury — with the help of West End residents and community partners — the plan will center on razing and reconstructing Civic Park Apartments, a dilapidated, 72-unit public housing project. City officials say it will include ways to make people safer, healthier and better educated, as well as ways to create jobs, help families and improve transportation and education. Under a timeline proposed by Joe Morris, the steering committee would be appointed by Aug. 2 and meet for the first time in September. A community forum would be held in October, followed by a design

workshop in November. The entire planning process is expected to take about 18 months. In other business, the council will: • Receive a report on recommendations from the city’s Advisory Committee on Better Housing and Neighborhood Stabilization. • Consider rezoning six parcels of land on 3.2 acres in the 1900 and 2000 blocks of East Innes Street from general residential to residential mixed-use. The proposed new zoning would allow higher-density residential development. • Consider setting a public hearing on an application for a $46,012 Justice Assistance Grant. The money would be used to buy and lease equipment for the Sal-

isbury Police Department and Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. • Consider referring to the city planning board a request to rename the 700 block of Old Plank Road to the 700 block of West Marsh Street. Part of the former 700 block of Old Plank has been closed and the renaming would aid drivers and emergency services. • Consider an ordinance that would lift residentialonly parking restrictions on Old Plan Road between Thomas and Craige streets. • Consider a request to include the Olde English and Freedman cemeteries in the Historic Salisbury Foundation’s OctoberTour. The council meets at Salisbury City Hall, 217 S. Main St.

Drug activity a concern on Granite Quarry street BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — A pair of residents on North Oak Street brought concerns to the Board of Aldermen Monday night about drug activity and other safety issues in their neighborhood. Police Chief Mark Cook met with Jean Medinger and Brian Howell immediately after the town board’s meeting to update them on his department’s efforts on their street. “We hear you,” Mayor Mary Ponds told Medinger and Howell after listening to their concerns during a citizen comment session. “I’m sure our police department is taking notes.” Medinger said she has called the department out to her area “more times than I can count.” She added she was

especially concerned for the safety of older residents and children along Oak Street. Medinger expressed concerns about drug activity and speeding cars. “Our neighborhood as a whole — it’s going down,” she said. Howell said he has the highest regard for the town’s police and fire departments, but Oak Street residents feel as though they are “beating our heads against the wall,” in trying to get information on what’s going on with police efforts on the street. One night, Howell, said, officers used the front yard of his house for stakeout purposes without informing him. Howell said some 40 different people seem to be using the house next to his as their address. “That’s how crazy it is,” he added.

His family also has been awakened numerous times in the night by loud discussions between members of different houses, Howell said. He told board members they would not believe the activity on his street. “I just wish I could feel more secure,” he said. In another matter, aldermen received an update from town engineer Jeff Moody on utility work associated with the Brookwood Drive culvert. The relocation of poles and lines has held up the project for many weeks. Moody detailed the underground conduit installation and line and pole relocations being handled by a subcontractor, Duke Power, Windstream and Time Warner and said all utility work should be completed this week. The general contracting

company, which has moved on to other work because of the delay, has told Moody it will need 30 days “to remobilize” once the site is ready again. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather asked Moody how long the project will take after the contractor returns, and Moody said he does not have a new completion date. The town will have to execute a change order in the contract to set up a new schedule, he noted. Feather also asked Moody to keep Brookwood Drive residents informed of the project’s status. Moody said he would try to communicate with residents through telephone, emails or through someone in the field. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

EPA program to hold workshop in Spencer SPENCER — Residents are invited to take part in a workshop Thursday on an Environmental Protection Agency program designed to help communities get the type of development they want. The Sustainable Communities Building Blocks program will help selected communities with a specific development-related challenge as well as explore general sustainable communities strategies, a press release said. Spencer, which is among 32 communities in 26 states selected for the program, requested assistance with reviewing its zoning code to help determine where barriers or gaps exist that are preventing the community from getting the type of develop-

ment it wants. The workshop is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Town Hall, 600 S. Salisbury Ave. A 9:30 a.m.-noon session will involve members of the community discussing questions dealing with Spencer’s strengths and challenges, the kind of development it wants to promote and what form ordinances need to take to deal with development. The discussion will also include “11 essential fixes” to policies and codes for addressing development challenges. After a lunch break, the workshop will resume with a focus on two to three “priority fixes” and a discussion of next steps. “The public-private partnerships in the Building Blocks program give com-

munities new and proven tools to maximize the health and economic benefits of brownfields revitalization,” said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson said in the press release. “This is another great example of how a targeted investment in protecting public health can create jobs and strengthen the economic future of our communities.” In consultation with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Transportation, the EPA selected the 32 communities through a competitive process in which 354 communities expressed interest in the program. Each community chose a tool to be the focus of the assistance from a list that in-

cluded zoning code reviews, walkability assessments, economic and fiscal health assessments, complete streets evaluations, water quality audits and sustainable design guidelines. During the daylong session with EPA-funded, private-sector experts, participants will explore the selected tool as well as other ways to make progress toward community goals for environmentally responsible, economically healthy development. “We are excited about this opportunity to learn of potential code changes that will help Spencer become more economically healthy and sustainable at the same time,” Dustin Wilson, Spencer’s land management director, said in the press release.

Officers shock man after he refused to leave mother’s property SALISBURY — Authorities say they had to shock a man with a stun gun Friday after he attacked two police officers trying to remove him from his mother’s property. Salisbury P o l i c e charged Randy Allen COWAN Cowan, 46, of

1041 Short St., with resisting arrest, two counts assault on a law enforcement officer and second-degree trespass. Police responded to a disturbance at the home of Cowan’s mother, Zella Miller, just before 6:30 p.m. She had asked him to leave. He appeared intoxicated, a report said. When officers arrived, Cowan was sitting in a lawn chair facing the porch where his mother was, refusing to leave, said Police Chief Rory Collins. Cowan said he wasn’t leav-

ing until his mother gave him the money he believed she owed him. As officer K.H. Boehm tried to place Cowan in handcuffs, Cowan punched the officer in the stomach, the report said. Cowan then charged at officer J.C. Moreau, knocking her to the ground. Boehm shot Cowan with the stun gun, then Moreau was able to push Cowan off her. In 1990, Cowan was convicted of rape and served about six years in prison. He’s also been convicted of assault,

breaking and entering, drug possession and driving while impaired. Cowan has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center under a $5,000 bond. Collins said the stun gun helped officers bring the situation under control. “Without the use of the Taser that situation could’ve been much worse. He could’ve gotten a hold of the officer’s gun,” he said.

Martin was charged with two counts felony possession with the intent to manufacture a controlled substance, possession of a weapon of mass destruction and possession of drug paraphernalia. He has previously been convicted on driving while impaired, child abuse, driving while license revoked, reckless driving, resisting an officer and possession of drug paraphernalia. On Tuesday, Polnisch, Gib-

by and Martin remained in the Rowan County Detention Center. Each was under a $15,000 bond. Jacobs was released after posting a $5,000 bond. Polnisch is a North Rowan

High student and Gibby is a student at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, the report said.

at least 20 children rode their bicycles in the parade, many with elaborate red, white and blue decorations and patriotic signs. Force was kicking off its “Make Cooleemee Your Home” marketing campaign. The Cooleemee Historical Association promoted a raffled to begin soon. Its grand prize will be the property at 105 Joyner Street that includes a three-bedroom home and the historic Cooleemee Journal office. RiverPark’s Great Bullhole Duck Race committee was there selling its $5 duck

tickets for anyone who would buy. “I liked riding my bike in the parade, the candy and the slip ‘n slide,” said Emma Fernandez who was on a family trip to Cooleemee from Miami. Her sister, Annalynn, said she like “throwing the candy” at the hundreds of on-lookers “but I liked the slip ‘n slide the best.” Their mother, Casey, grew up in Cooleemee and

drove with her husband, Sergio for a week’s vacation. While Cooleemee’s July 4th was surely fun, the mayor accompanied her granddaughters to the grave of Richmond Pearson off Pine Ridge Road later in the afternoon. Pearson was the Captain of the patriot “Liberty Militia” in the American Revolution, known also as “The Boys from the Forks of the Yadkin.”

Fight over Hatteras Island bridge continues RALEIGH. (AP) — People involved in a fight about the bridge that connects Hatteras Island to the rest of the world agree that the deteriorating structure must be replaced. The question of what will replace it and when will be fought in the courts. The National Wildlife Refuge Association and Defenders of Wildlife were represented by the Southern Environmental Law Center when they filed a federal lawsuit late last week to stop plans to replace the Bonner Bridge with a structure that would be parallel to it. Those groups support a 17-mile bridge that would bypass the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, rather than one that’s closer to the length of current bridge, which is 2.7 miles. A local political leader claims the environmental opposition endangers the lives of the residents and the thousands of visitors who traverse the bridge daily. Warren Judge, chairman of the Dare County commissioners calls bringing a lawsuit now in the 22-year process of deciding the bridge’s fate an obstructionist move. “I cannot believe the SELC and Defenders are gambling with people’s lives in this great country,” Judge said, clearly angry. “This is a safety issue, and their claims are preposterous. All I’ve got to say is shame on them.”

Fire grows in Bladen County; 10 evacuations WHITE OAK (AP) — Ten homes have been evacuated and three destroyed by a wildfire in Bladen County that has nearly doubled in size over the past three days, fire officials said Tuesday. State Forest Service spokesman Chris Meggs said a planned burnout operation Sunday to fight the fire by eliminating combustible materials failed to stop the blaze, known as the Simmons Road Fire. “The fire came through our lines due to erratic winds and dry conditions,” Meggs said. Burning across the area’s flammable organic soil, the blaze continued moving northward into Cumberland County, where residents in 10 homes were given mandatory evacuation orders on Monday. A shelter was opened at Cape Fear High School near Fayetteville to house the evacuees. A cabin and two outbuildings were lost in the fire

Hold on, says Evan Hirsche, president of the refuge association. He says environmentalists agree the bridge must be replaced. “Absolutely, it’s a safety issue,” he said. “We are wholly supportive of replacing the bridge. ... I think the response here is that the Federal Highway Administration and the state DOT need to rectify this quickly in terms of wildlife and habitat impact. This should prompt a quick response in terms of providing a detailed assessment of the wildlife and habitat impact on Pea Island and should foster an immediate discussion on mitigation options should the short-bridge option be selected.” The Bonner Bridge, which crosses the treacherous and shifting shoals of the Oregon Inlet, has well outlived its intended life. When it was built in 1963, the bridge was designed to last 30 years as a physical span between Hatteras Island and the northern Outer Banks. The only other way to reach the island is by ferries that land on Ocracoke Island, and then another ferry to the southern end of Hatteras. The bridge handles about 2 million cars a year and is an essential part of the tourism that many island residents rely on for a living and also for evacuations during hurricanes and other major storms. State TransportaMonday, along with a fourwheeler and a specialized tractor used to fight wildfires, Meggs said. The blaze was sparked by lightning June 20 and consumed three homes in the first 48 hours. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to slightly more than 3,000 acres until Sunday, when it expanded by another 2,850 acres. With 78 firefighters, eight fire engines and two helicopters assigned to the Simmons Road blaze, the cost to fight the fire already has exceeded $600,000, forestry officials said. A 31,000-acre blaze in Pender County, known as the Juniper Road Fire, has used $2 million in firefighting resources since it started June 19. The fire is considered 68 percent contained. More than 150 firefighters are still working on the Pender County blaze, which is burning primarily in the Holly Shelter Game Land. A 45,000 acre fire in Dare County is considered 100 percent contained, but continues to burn fed by fuel in the organic soils, officials said.

tion Department spokeswoman Greer Beaty says DOT has spent almost $17 million on planning for the bridge, a process that began in 1990. State DOT ranks the bridge a 2 on its safety meter, with 100 being the highest, or best, ranking. Once on Hatteras, drivers must take N.C. Highway 12, the two-lane highway that frequently is undermined by ocean overwash and erosion. Last year, the Federal Highway Administration supported the state’s plan to begin construction of the short bridge, then worry about how to handle the 12mile section of the highway that goes through the Pea Island refuge. Bids to design and build the bridge were due Friday, the same day the environmentalists sued in U.S. District Court in Raleigh. Construction was expected to start next year, with the new bridge open in 2015. The

short bridge was expected to cost $300 million, with estimates for the long bridge that environmentalists support at $1 billion. But they point out that once a short bridge is built, the state is still saddled with the costs of maintaining N.C. 12 through the refuge. The environmentalists’ beef is not as much with the short bridge itself but with the highway to which it connects, which they say should be part and parcel of any short-bridge replacement plan. “It’s a road, through the refuge, that’s subject to storm flooding, washouts and erosion,” Hirsche said. “It’s built on the shifting sands of a barrier island.” The maintenance and construction of that road impact both the wildlife and natural resources that attract visitors in the first place, he said. “They can’t be separate,” Hirsche said the bridge and the highway. “They’re part of the same plan.”

Blood donors can get tech-savvy this summer and help save lives at the same time. Blood and platelet donors during American Red Cross donor appreciation days” through July 15 will get a chance to win one of five Apple iPad 2s. “This time of year is crucial as we work to keep up with the demand for lifesaving blood,” said Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer of the American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. “As people take time out of their schedules to donate blood, we want to show our donors how much we appreciate them and their commitment to helping save the lives of patients in need.” The summer is typically one of the most challenging times of the year for blood donations. Donations often decline as schools are out of session and families take vacations.

Anthony trial: Lack of evidence or good defense? ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors proved Casey Anthony was a liar, but convinced the jury of little else. The government failed to establish how 2-year-old Caylee Anthony died and they couldn’t find her mother’s DNA on the duct tape they said was used to suffocate her. There was conflicting testimony on whether the putrid smell inside the family’s car was a decomposing body or simply trash, and it was never quite clear why chloroform was so important. The lack of evidence and the doubt raised by the defense — that Caylee accidentally drowned in the family’s pool — was enough to win an acquittal. After a trial of a month and a half, the jury took less than 11 hours to find Anthony not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse. She was convicted only of four misdemeanor counts of lying to investigators who were looking into the June 2008 disappearance of Caylee. She lied about being employed at Universal Studios. She lied about leaving Caylee with a baby-sitter, then again when she recounted to investigators that she had told two imagi-

nary people that Caylee was missing. She also lied about receiving a phone call from Caylee the day before she was reported missing. Lead defense attorney Jose Baez was criticized by many legal pundits for his strategy and loosely throwing around allegations of molestation and incest. Baez suggested early on that Casey’s father, George Anthony, helped cover up the drowning and sexually abused his daughter, accusations the father vehemently denied. Baez also claimed Casey’s brother might be Caylee’s father and that a meter reader who discovered the girl’s remains may have moved them, more allegations that weren’t substantiated. Ultimately, though, the burden of proof wasn’t on Baez. “I don’t think it was Baez’ great lawyering that won the case,” said Richard Rosenbaum, a Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney who closely followed the trial but wasn’t involved in the case. “I think it goes back to the prosecution and the weaknesses in their case.” Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney for Miami and now a defense attorney, said Baez had to offer an alterna-

tive to the prosecution’s theory of how Caylee was killed, though he was less impressed with the molestation accusations. “The biggest questions were the ‘how’ and the ‘why,’” Coffey said. “Even the state acknowledged they weren’t exactly sure of how Caylee was killed. That was a candid acknowledgement, but Baez seized on that.” Orlando’s chief prosecutor said his attorneys were disappointed with the verdict but they presented every piece of evidence that existed. “This is a dry-bones case. Very, very difficult to prove,” said Orange County State Attorney Lawson Lamar. “The delay in recovering little Caylee’s remains worked to our considerable disadvantage.” Shortly after Lamar’s news conference, one of the lead prosecutors on the case, Jeff Ashton, announced he would retire at the end of the week following 30 years as a prosecutor. A spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office said Ashton and Lamar had previously discussed his retirement. The six-month gap between when Casey was reported missing and when her remains were found in December 2008

pointed in the verdict today because we know the facts and we’ve put in absolutely every piece of evidence that FROM 1a existed.” The prosecutor Tuesday of murder, lamented the lack of hard evmanslaughter and child-abuse idence, saying, “This is a drycharges after weeks of wall- bones case.

At one point Mason was seen in the window extending his middle finger toward the crowd outside. Grace said after the jury’s decision: “There is no way that this is a verdict that speaks the truth.” Given the relative speed with which the jury came back, many court-watchers were expecting Anthony to be convicted and were stunned by the outcome. Anthony’s parents left court quickly after the verdict without hugging or saying anything to Anthony. As court broke up, she smiled broadly and tightly hugged her lawyers. “While we’re happy for Casey, there are no winners in this case,” Anthony attorney Jose Baez said after the verdict. Because the case got so much media attention in Orlando, jurors were brought in from the Tampa Bay area and sequestered for the entire trial, during which they listened to more than 33 days of testimony and looked at 400 pieces of evidence. Anthony did not take the stand. In closing arguments, prosecutor Linda Drane Burdick showed the jury two side-byside images. One showed Anthony smiling and partying in a nightclub during the first month Caylee was missing. The other was the tattoo Anthony got a day before law enforcement learned of the child’s disappearance: the Italian words for “beautiful life.” “At the end of this case, all you have to ask yourself is whose life was better without Caylee?” Burdick asked. “This is your answer.” Prosecutors hammered

JOBS FROM 1a addition to your own.” The board then voted unanimously to schedule the public hearing at an 8:30 a.m. special meeting on July 18. In other news, commissioners authorized the refunding of bonds Tuesday in a move that might save the county hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next decade. County Finance Director Leslie Heidrick said the county can refund up to $17.78 million of $20 million in 2003 bonds issued for school construction. If interest rates remain constant, she said, the county could save about $90,000 per year by essentially refinancing the balance of the bonds at the current lower interest rate. “Who wouldn’t jump on the opportunity to save taxpayers $720,000 over eight years?” said Commissioner Jon Barber. The board approved the

And prosecutors didn’t have any evidence that put Casey at the scene where the remains were found. There was also confusion on why chloroform was so important. Chloroform is a chemical compound that can be used to knock someone un-

away at the lies Anthony told when the child was missing: She told her parents that she couldn’t produce Caylee because the girl was with a nanny named Zanny — a woman who doesn’t exist; that she and her daughter were spending time with a rich boyfriend who doesn’t exist; and that Zanny had been hospitalized after an out-of-town traffic crash and that they were spending time with her. Baez said during closing arguments that the prosecutors’ case was so weak they tried to portray Anthony as “a lying, no-good slut” and that their forensic evidence was based on a “fantasy.” He said Caylee’s death was “an accident that snowballed out of control.”

conscious and also is found in human decomposition, but prosecutors never made clear exactly what its role it played in Caylee’s death. Prosecutors said Casey searched for the term “chloroform” on the family’s computer, though when her mother, Cindy, took the stand late in the trial, she said she searched for it. Later, job records indicated that Cindy

REACTION FROM 1a “The first part of it, I thought she did it,” Houston said. “I don’t think that he should have been called as a witness.” Defense attorneys painted George Anthony as an abuser whose molesting caused Casey Anthony emotional trauma that led her to lie about her daughter’s death, though he denied it and said he believed his daughter killed Caylee.

might have been at work when the searches were made. Then there was the smell test. After prosecutors presented an expert witness who said that a carpet stain taken from the family’s car trunk had a smell consistent with a decomposing body, the defense called the expert’s former colleague who testified to the opposite. Baez addressed his naysayers during a press conference. “This case has brought on new challenges for all of us. Challenges in the criminal justice system, challenges in the media, and I think we should all take this as an opportunity to learn and to realize that you cannot convict someone until they have had their day in court,” he said. Yale Galanter, who has represented O.J. Simpson in a number of cases since 2000, said he was not surprised by the verdict. “The issue is there was absolutely no evidence linking her to the death. None,” said the Miami lawyer. “So what the defense did was brilliant, they brought up the drowning, they brought up the sexual molestation, and it really got the jury to focus away from the bad behavior of the mom.”

Lisa Pandolfino said she and her co-workers watched at work, stunned as the verdict was read. “We were all in shock. I think it’s just terrible,” Pandolfino said. “It’s obvious that we all believed PANDOLFINO that she’s guilty. I think the family probably knows she’s guilty and they probably may have had something to do with it, too.”

Market at the Mill has produce, meat B Y M ELODY H ARTSELL For the Salisbury Post

Blueberries are both delicious and good for you.

Full of antioxidants, the blueberry is a nutritious fruit BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com

id you know that there are only three fruits native to North America, and the blueberry is one? (The others are Concord grapes and cranberries.) The first colonists learned from the Native Americans to pick wild blueberries and dry what they didn’t eat to save for winter. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that Elizabeth White — who lived on a cranberry farm — began the work that allows us to eat the cultivated “high bush” blueberries that we enjoy today. In 1911, White read about Dr. Frederick Coville’s research in blueberry cultivation and decided she wanted to work with him to develop a blueberry bush that could be grown on farms. She and Coville crossed carefully selected wild varieties to create new cultivars. Thanks to her and to Coville, blueberries are commercially grown now in 38 states and two Canadian provinces.

Fruits and veggies continue to be plentiful at Farmers Market BY KATHERINE JONES For The Salisbury Post

What will you see at the Salisbury Farmers Market this week? Fresh, plump, juicy blackberries from Country Garden and a trailer full of corn from Miller Farm. Cantaloupes grown by the Eagle’s and heirloom tomatoes from David Correll are good looking, delicious and plentiful. Cress Farm has half runner green beans and Pee Dee Orchard is bringing gorgeous free stone peaches. There is an abundance of okra, cucumbers, peppers, onions, squash, potatoes and blueberries. The market has vendors that take great pride in providing the freshest produce they possi-

bly can. Produce is not the only attraction at the market. There are fruit pies made with local fruit and berries at How Sweet It Is and tomato basil bread at Bread Basket. Carla Anne’s will have chocolate croissants and blueberry muffins. There is always a great selection of homemade breads, cakes, cookies and pies. You must see the cut flowers to realize how beautiful they are. Stunning bouquets made to your specifications from buckets full of zinnia, lily, dahlia and many more. The most outstanding were the sunflowers. Very large colorful blooms of yellow or red are available for you to

enjoy. It is surprising how many plants are still on hand and ready for you to put in your landscaping or containers. Annuals, perennials and herbs are plentiful and are healthy, robust looking plants. Many containers and hanging baskets have been previously planted with a variety of color and texture and are great for those that do not have the time or space for a garden. Many vendors offer an array of jelly, jam, relish and salsa. Local honey is also plentiful. There will be locally raised meat on hand and a tremendous variety of handmade crafts. Homemade pimento cheese, chicken salad

and peanut butter are among shopper favorites. Debit and credit cards are accepted for your convenience. Also accepted are food stamps and WIC and senior vouchers.

It is open on Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon. Katherine Jones is a Master Gardener volunteer for the Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County.

Netflix to stream movies in Latin America

Mom’s getting dumped is game-changer My mom says we invited him and now we are disinviting him. Which is, in fact, true. However, we invited her “boyfriend” and feel his dumping her is a deal breaker. We made a decision that we felt was best for all seven kids (age 6-11) involved. We have offered to host him and his kids for meals at our house, but we asked that they stay in a hotel. My mom feels I am being rude. Am I obligated to stand by my original invitation, even though he dumped my mom? — Obligated? Dear Obligated: Your mother doesn’t get to decide who stays at your house. I agree with you that the changed circumstances have changed your obligation to host this large group for a week of overnights. You are not declaring that this family cannot come to this country, and you are not refusing to acquaint yourself with your mother’s friend. If this family comes on the trip and stays at a hotel, it gives all of you a chance to get to know one another at a comfortable distance. Dear Amy: I have two nieces who are close in age. One is my brother’s daughter; the other is the daughter of

my sister. My brother’s daughter has been engaged for more than a year and is excited and looking forward to her wedding, which will be held next year. My sister’s daughter recently became engaged, and has planned her wedding for the month before her cousin’s. My initial feeling is that this is an insensitive move on the part of my sister’s daughter. Scheduling a wedding for the month before her cousin’s is “upstaging” her cousin’s wedding. I don’t feel good about this and told this to my sister. My sister feels that there is nothing wrong with the scheduling. I would be curious to know your thoughts! — An Aunt Who’s in a Quandary Dear Aunt: One of the many advantages of being an aunt is that you don’t have to maintain a huge stake in the decisions of your siblings’ offspring. I would leave this alone. If the brides have a problem with this schedule, they’ll raise the issue and have to sort it out themselves. Dear Amy: Please remind brides and bridegrooms that it is not the responsibility of

any of the parents to pay for their weddings. If the parents want to, fine — but there should be no expectation that parents must pay for these extravaganzas. Our older adult daughter and her boyfriend have very good jobs and make nearly as much as my husband and me. They are talking marriage now and have made comments about how much it’s going to cost us. I quickly reminded both of them that we paid for our own wedding. Our parents gave us a monetary gift at the wedding, but at that point everything had been paid for. I had no expectations and was grateful for what I received. — Keeping It Real Dear Real: I agree with you. Perhaps you could give the couple a monetary gift — and they could invest it as they choose.

Blueberries are loaded with nutrition but not calories — there are only 80 calories in a one-cup serving. They’re full of vitamin C, with about a quarter of your daily requirement in just one serving. They’re also loaded with fiber and manganese, which is important in bone development and the conversion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy. And in terms of antioxidant activity, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, you can’t do much better than blueberries. Maybe the best way to enjoy blueberries is just to pop them in your mouth by the handful, but if you’re looking for some recipes, the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council has you covered. The first recipe is for a summer classic: blueberry cobbler.

and other regions. That said, “there is absolutely no guarantee that (Netflix) will succeed in any of these new international markets, although we believe that Internet video streaming will become a major activity in each of these markets,” Mahaney said in a note to investors. The company is working on broadening its international reach as its service in the U.S. becomes more ubiquitous. As of March, Netflix had 22.8 million subscribers in the U.S. — about 34,000 more than the number of households subscribing to Comcast Corp.’s cable-TV service. Netflix, which is based in Los Gatos, Calif., launched its streaming service in the U.S. in 2007 and in Canada last year. If it does launch the service in Europe, Netflix would face competition with popular online movie rental company Lovefilm, which Amazon.com Inc. bought in January. Shares of Netflix increased $14.01, or 5.2 percent, to $282 in midday trading after earlier hitting a record high of $283.50. The company’s shares are up 61 percent so far this year, compared with just 6.3 percent for the S&P 500 index.

Dear Amy: My mom plans to visit me from Europe with my little brother. I suggested she bring her boyfriend and his three young kids. They’ve been an item for about a year. We don’t have a large house but offered to make room for him and his kids. I ASK wanted the AMY opportunity to get to know my potential stepfather and stepbrothers. However, a few weeks ago he dumped her and said he was canceling his trip. She didn’t hear from him for more than a week. Then I got a text from my mother saying that they had decided to be friends and that he’s coming along on the trip. She tells me he’s still staying at my house. I spoke to my husband, and we are not comfortable having my mom’s ex-boyfriend stay with us for a week. Although I am happy they are friends, we would not have invited him and his kids to stay with us for a week if they were anything but a serious couple. We have three young kids at home, and we both work full time.

LOS GATOS, Calif. (AP) — Netflix is expanding its movie and TV show streaming service into 43 countries throughout Latin America in the online movie rental company’s largest international expansion yet. Analysts said the expansion was larger than expected. The company’s stock hit an all-time high of $283.50 in morning trading Tuesday. Netflix Inc. subscribers in Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean will be able to watch TV shows and movies streamed on a wide range of gadgets starting this year. The company did not announce a pricing plan or say exactly when the service will be available. In the U.S., a streaming subscription costs $8 a month and customers can pay slightly more to get DVDs in the mail. As is the case in Canada, Netflix’s service in Latin America will be streaming-only, with no DVD option. Citi Investment Research analyst Mark Mahaney estimates that Netflix will be able to capture 8 percent of the Latin American and Caribbean market in the next 12 to 18 months, possibly less if it also launches in Europe

Education a Right-sizing government top priority? State budget keeps spending in line with revenue BY REP. FRED STEEN

arol Spalding, president of RowanCabarrus Community College, didn’t mind putting two local legislators on the spot Tuesday as they fielded questions from the Salisbury Rotary Club. Spalding thanked Reps. Fred Steen and Harry Warren for their work in the General Assembly, but she had a question. Lawmakers talk about how well North Carolina regards education. But with the cuts made in the budget this year, the state’s per pupil spending is second from the bottom, she said. “What criteria are you looking at?” Spalding asked.

Freshman Rep. Harry Warren responded first and said he did not like to look at rankings. What matters in education spending, he said, is not where the state is in national rankings, but “Are we spending the right amount?” Also, he said, people need to look beyond spending in the traditional public education system. Lawmakers also made changes regarding charter schools, virtual schools and regional schools, he said. There’s a new dichotomy at WARREN work now, a new dynamic. He said people should “look at the overall picture.” Rep. Fred Steen, first appointed to the General Assembly in 2004, said there was another way to look at the rankings. If local funding is included, North Carolina ranks in the middle on per-pupil spending, he said. His intent was not to throw the funding issue on the counties’ backs. “We’re all in this together.” But with the new Republican majority determined to tighten the state budget across the board, “everybody’s ox was gored somewhat in some way.” He said lawmakers need to monitor the impact and look at issues again later. North Carolina is in fact 49th in per pupil state spending with the new state budget, falling from 45th or 46th. If rankings don’t count with Republicans, increases in spending certainly do. The John Locke Foundation cited these statistics last year: “Between 1965 and 2009, there has been a 273 percent increase in state real per-pupil expenditures, a 446 percent increase in federal real per-pupil expenditures, a 521 percent increase in local real per-pupil expenditures and a 329 percent increase in total real per-pupil expenditures.” But what does that say about whether we were spending the right amount? Not a lot. It will be much easier to count the dollars cut and jobs lost than to quantify the impact on students. The state lost nearly 10,000 public school jobs for the 2010-11 school year, and the $124 million cut in the new state budget will lead to more pink slips. Preschool and higher education are taking big hits, too. No wonder educators like Spalding are puzzled. North Carolina’s commitment to public education appears to be slipping.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. — Pablo Picasso

ommon sense, let alone simple arithmetic, tells us the federal deficit control cannot be brought under control by spending cuts alone; it will take some combination of cuts and revenue increases, whether by tax hikes, loophole closings or, by some devoutly be wished for miracle, a really robust economic boom. Congressional Republicans for the most part are dead set against any tax hikes — and the more extreme among them believe any loophole closing is a tax increase and thus heresy — and they have threatened to drive the country into default if they don’t get their way. Last November they fiercely opposed letting a temporary tax cut for upperincome earners lapse even though the country badly needed, and still does, the money. The Republicans might want to factor into their thinking a survey conducted by an executive compensation data firm for The New York Times. Keep in mind while reviewing the figures that the average American worker was taking home $752 a week in late 2010, up 0.5 percent from 2009, meaning that after allowing for inflation, the worker was getting less than the year before. Also for the year 2009, the Census says family income was $61,082. According to the survey done for the Times, median annual pay for executives at 200 big companies was $10.8 million, a 23 percent increase from 2009. Despite all our economic problems — ours, apparently, not theirs — some top executives are making more than they did before the economy went south. And cash bonuses for executives have made a comeback. Last year they jumped by an “astounding” — the Times’ word — 38 percent. America’s best-compensated executive, according to the survey, is Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman who took home $84.5 million last year. When it is suggested that their tax rates be increased a modest 4.6 percent to the 39.6 percent rate they were paying in 2000, the Republicans scream that this is “jobkilling class warfare.” Maybe the GOP’s tax hardliners think we’re stupid. If we believe this, we are.

Special to the Post

fter voting 1,254 times out of 1,256 (99.8 percent) possible votes, the 2011 session of the General Assembly finally wrapped up on June 25. Many issues came to our attention this year. Ethan’s Law, or the Unborn Victims of Violence Bill, was finally passed after I had spent my entire time working on this bill. STEEN Other legislators have worked on this legislation for nearly 20 years. Annexation reform after four years of committee hearings and debate is now finally law. This is a great example of a grass roots effort to get legislation passed in North Carolina. We have legislation that now protects property owners from being forcefully annexed without a method to slow down the process.

We have created a positive business climate through termination of the income-tax surcharge, a positive move for business recruitment. Tort reform and workers compensation were the two biggest negatives for the business climate for North Carolina. We exempted the first $50,000 of income for small businesses. The governor signed those bills on June 24. The state budget, which was vetoed and overridden by the House and the Senate, keeps spending in line with revenues. The budget bill was a bi-partisan effort. Our budg-

et was only 5.6 percent less than the governor’s, and in education there was only a 1 percent difference. Vacant jobs were eliminated in this budget, and it emphasized classroom and teacher funding. This budget right-sizes our state government as it focuses on core services, free markets and limited government. The budget’s goal is to prevent excess spending, or the taking of funds from the people, without it going to the core functions of the state government. The sales tax was promised to sunset on June 30. We made good on that promise. Therefore, $800 million will go back in the pockets of the people of North Carolina. My role on the budget was done in the transportation budget area as I serve on the House Transportation Appropriations Committee. The DOT budget is $2 billion in the Highway Fund and $1.1 billion in the Highway Trust Fund. Here are some of the things it does: • Reduces 425 positions through increased privatization, out-sourcing, consolidations and elimination of vacant positions. • Repair more than 900 structurally deficient bridges in the course of the biennium and allow for resurfacing of 8,000 miles of roads. • Injects more money in the Spot Safety Program, the only state-funded program with the primary purpose to reduce injuries, fatalities and crashes on our highway system. • Reduces Highway Fund transfers to other agencies by $17 million this year and $35 million next year, and moves the State Highway Patrol to the general fund.

LETTERS Ronnie Smith always takes high ground Regarding the recent hospice ground breaking ceremony in which the Post cited Ronnie Smith for “interruption,” I am writing this letter in defense of Mr. Smith. This man has been a close personal friend of mine for over 50 years. We grew up together, attending the same schools all the way through college. I think I know the true essence of this man, his beliefs and his moral values. He is unquestionably a man who always takes the “high ground”, a man who always speaks the truth, and a man who is genuinely kind and respectful to others. Did he speak too loudly in his conversations at the ceremony? Did he overreact when he was abruptly asked to leave? I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But I do know there must be a very good reason for him to express concern about this hospice project. Ronnie is passionate about everything he does in life. He does not have an agenda to embarrass others, but he does have an agenda to do what is morally right. Post readers should not be so concerned about “who” caused the interruption, but rather should be focused on “what” Ronnie has to say about the hospice project. After giving over 30 years of his adult life to philanthropic interests, particularly fund raising for Rowan County’s only hospital, he deserves the right to be heard.

• Removes the cap on design-build projects, which will streamline future projects in North Carolina. The Yadkin River bridge and the I-85 widening in Cabarrus are design-build projects. The I-85 widening has been moved up four years. The widening in southern Rowan is still unfunded. • Privatizes by reducing inhouse engineering, thus increasing the work done by small businesses. • Sets Powell Bill allocations to be done twice a year to municipalities instead of only once a year. This will assist DOT cash flow. • Eliminates Powell Bill aid to seven municipalities without any road miles. • Requires a report, consultation and approval of rail projects that trigger state funds from the federal government. The current American Recovery and Reinvestment Act high-speed rail money will require future expenditures from the Highway Fund to pay for the trains and maintenance of the tracks. This measure will allow for a review process prior to an approval of taking federal money if the state is out of pocket by more than $5 million. • Requires ferry operations to toll additional routes no later than next April. This does not include Hatteras/Ocracoke and Knotts Island/Currituck. There were many DOT reforms this year and we hope to continue to streamline DOT as we move forward. • • • Fred Steen, a Republican from Landis, is one of Rowan County’s two representatives in the state House.

Pensions are public

Please allow me this opportunity to say “thank you” to the citizens of Salisbury and Rowan County for the tremendous response and overwhelming support we have received as a result of the recent announcement in Sunday’s (June 26) Salisbury Post about the new hospice project. Over 150 emails, notes, cards and telephone calls have been received. Please know that, in my personal opinion and based on my more than 20 years as a member of the boards of Rowan Regional Medical Center and our RRMC Foundation, we can be proud to have one of the finest medical centers in the state. In the near future, we also hope to have one of the newest and finest hospice houses in the state. Thank you for your continued support of this tremendous project. — Ronnie Smith

On July 4, we were treated to an article in which the N.C. League of Municipalities insisted that taxpayer-funded pensions should be included in those figures not available to the public. (“Public pensions, private pay,” from the Associated Press). My first response was ... well, I cannot repeat that, but my second response was, I’m glad I don’t have their nerve in my tooth. How insanely arrogant does one have to be to tell us that they will take our money but not tell us how it is dispersed. I have no problem with this bunch keeping their financial dealings close to the vest. If I were they, I’m sure I would not want the public to know where the money is going. Ignorance is bliss. Our ignorance is their bliss. I offer a simple solution: Keep the funds separate. No, I don’t mean fungible, I mean separate. What you are able to wrest from your members is yours, and none of our business. That which you “acquire” from taxpayers is subject to public scrutiny. Unbelievable. — Bruce La Rue

Obama warns against short-term deal on debt limit without cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama prodded Congress Tuesday to reach a sweeping long-term deal within the next two weeks to raise the nation’s borrowing limit rather than “kick the can down the road” with a makeshift, short-term solution, and he declared it must include the tax hikes Republicans strongly oppose. He said he was summoning leaders of both parties to the White House on Thursday to try to get it done and beat an Aug. 2 deadline to avert a first-ever federal default that could shake economic markets worldwide. Obama said he opposed a stopgap, short-term increase, as suggested by some lawmakers. But he stopped short of ruling out a limited extension, and his spokesman Jay Carney later declined to say whether the president would veto such a measure. Obama renewed his stand that any deal must include not only spending cuts but also new revenue — tax increases vehemently ruled out by many Republicans in Congress. “We need to come together over the next two weeks to reach a deal that reduces the deficit and upholds the full faith and credit of the United States government and the credit of the American people,” Obama said at the White House.

British tabloid may have hacked into murdered girl’s phone LONDON (AP) — Britain’s voracious tabloids may have hit a new low: The News of the World was facing claims Tuesday that it hacked into a missing 13-year-old’s phone messages, possibly hampering a police inquiry into her disappearance. Milly Dowler was found murdered months later and the report that her messages were tampered with has horrified Britons. Major advertisers — including Ford UK — have pulled their ads from the paper. Britons are used to seeing their tabloid press harass royals, sports stars and celebrities, constantly eavesdropping and paying even the most tangential sources for information about stars’ sex lives and drug problems. But the latest hacking case was met with revulsion from everyone from British Prime Minister David Cameron to movie stars to people who commented on Twitter. “(It is) shocking that someone could do this, knowing that the police were trying to find this person and trying to find out what had happened,” Cameron said while on a trip to Afghanistan.

Author files sex assault charge against Strauss-Kahn PARIS (AP) — A young French author formally accused former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique StraussKahn of attempted rape and broke her long public silence Tuesday with a dramatic account of fending off an attacker who ripped at her clothes as they fought on his apartment floor. Tristane Banon’s criminal complaint was already spawning an ugly public battle that appeared to be dividing France and follows trans-Atlantic mudslinging over the Guinean chambermaid who accused Strauss-Kahn of forcing her to perform oral sex in his New York hotel room. The sudden weakening of the maid’s case because of New York prosecutors’ doubts about her credibility revived hopes in Strauss-Kahn’s Socialist Party that he could return to France and retake his position as the strongest potential challenger to conservative President Nicolas Sarkozy in the 2012 election. Those hopes could be undermined by the 31-year-old writer’s legal action, which is expected to set off a lengthy preliminary investigation by prosecutors into whether there is enough evidence to pursue a case in France. While many here saw Strauss-Kahn, 62, as a victim of rough U.S. justice, the French public may recoil at a drawn-out case in French courts brought by a woman whose mother is a Socialist Party official. Polls already have found French voters evenly divided over whether they want Strauss-Kahn to return, with women more likely to object to his reviving a political career.

US shipmates await word of 7 missing SAN FELIPE, Mexico (AP) — They are fathers, fiances and experienced fishermen. The seven U.S. tourists still missing two days after their boat capsized off Mexico’s coast went to sea as they had for several years on the U.S. Independence Day holiday: They wanted to fish and have a good time. At least one American tourist, besides the seven missing, has been confirmed dead and identified by Mexican officials as Leslie Yee of Ceres, California. On Tuesday, the shipmates who survived the wreck anxiously awaited word as the Mexican navy and the U.S. Coast Guard expanded their search in the Gulf of California, holding out hope that the missing were able to survive in the gulf’s balmy waters. Mexican navy Capt. Ruben Bustos said they are increasing resources and moving their search area south of Gonzaga bay, a coastal town south of the port of San Felipe where efforts concentrated Monday. Rescue teams are also coordinating efforts with officials across the gulf in the northern state of Sonora because shipwreck survivors in the region sometimes are swept far away by fast tides. “Every hour he’s still missing, hope gets hit with reality,” said Gary Wong, referring to his younger brother, Brian, 54, of Berkeley, who is among the missing tourists. A local TV station in California erroneously reported that Brian Wong, who works in personnel for Alameda County and has two grown daughters, was among the dead, leaving the family to calm his frantic wife. Survivor Lee Ikegami had to identify the body of his close friend Yee Monday, just a day after being rescued. Ikegami’s wife, Murphy Ikegami, was told Yee’s body washed up on shore. “Lee’s fine physically,” Murphy Ikegami said. “Mentally, he’s just devastated.” A sudden storm struck early Sunday, capsizing the 115-foot vessel, the Erik. The crew and the fishermen clung to coolers, rescue rings and life vests for more than 16 hours. The navy and other fishing boats plucked 19 fishermen and all 16 crew members from the water late Sunday. The vessel sank about 60 miles south of San Felipe. Sunday was the second day of a weeklong fishing trip the group had organized for several years each Independence Day holiday. They had planned to fish for yellowtail. Gary Wong was celebrating his first day of retirement on the trip with three brothers. He said his brothers, including Craig and Glen, took the trip twice before. Wong thought he was going to die

Survivors of a capsized boat are taken away in a vehicle after being rescued by the Navy in the town of San Felipe, Mexico on Monday. A U.S. tourist died after a ﬁshing boat capsized in an unexpected storm in the Gulf of California off the Baja California peninsula and of the 44 people on the boat, seven U.S. tourists remain missing along with one Mexican crew member, the Mexican Navy said. as the storm tossed the boat. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, my first day of retirement and I go down on a boat,’ ” he said. “All that work for what? To be six feet under.” Wong, who was trained as a first responder in his job with the East Bay Municipal Water District, has become the spokesman for the families seeking information about their loved ones. He has been able to bring good news to some families, telling them that the reason they couldn’t reach a fisherman was only because he was asleep in his hotel room. Don Lee, an experienced fisherman who is also missing, brought all 27 together, Wong said. “He does everything, he makes everything happen,” he said. “He always says ‘Don’t worry, don’t worry, I have everything in hand.’ ” Mark Dorland, 62, was reportedly one of the first to go overboard and didn’t have a life vest. He is set to get married in a month. Russell Bautista, 60, of Penngrove, Calif., is also missing. The retired Pacific Bell worker and avid fisherman who often took others fishing or crabbing. “He’s taught a lot of people to fish,” wife Joelle Bautista said. “Our son went out with him a lot.” The search was expanded to a wider area and continued with helicopters and aircraft. Divers also prepared to search the wreckage, which is in water more than 200 feet deep, but officials have not confirmed when. The U.S. Coast Guard sent a C-

130 aircraft that can stay in the air longer and search farther than the helicopter it used Monday, said Petty Officer Levi Read. Three helicopters from Mexico’s navy, the state of Baja California and the city of Mexicali were also searching, said Baja California state Civil Protection Director Alfredo Escobedo Ortiz. Although officials have said the warm weather and water temperature in the Gulf of California may help the missing survive, Mexican navy’s Bustos said on Tuesday that normally after 96 hours of search they presume missing people dead. The aircraft and helicopters have covered around 1,400 miles and boats have navigated around 900 miles in the gulf. Wong said the survivors were also trying to figure out how they could help in the rescue. Wearing T-shirts donated by souvenir vendors, they walked around the port city of San Felipe, trying to hire people with boats to go out into the gulf. The boat company, Baja Sportfishing, once worked out of San Diego, but owner Alexander Velez let the license expire last year, said Roz Cockerham, a San Diego city tax representative. It was unclear whether the company had moved to another city or relocated to Mexico, where its boats departed. The Baja Sportfishing website said they could not respond to messages and that all trips have been canceled.

Report: 197 migrants feared drowned off Sudan coast KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Nearly 200 African migrants were feared drowned Tuesday after a boat carrying them to Saudi Arabia caught fire off Sudan’s northeastern coast, a semiofficial news agency reported. The Sudan Media Center said three migrants were rescued. The boat had launched from Red Sea State, one of Sudan’s 26 states, and sailed for four hours in Sudanese territorial waters before the blaze broke out, according to the news agency. Local authorities were still searching for possible survivors, it said. The report could not be independently confirmed. The report said that the planning

and execution of the illegal migrant smuggling effort took place in Port Sudan, a main port in the impoverished country. Port Sudan is the capital of the Red Sea State. The agency also said that the boat sank south of Sawaken, which is at the south tip of the Red Sea state. The report said the owners of the boat, all Yemenis, have been arrested, although it gave no more details about them. A second attempt to smuggle 247 migrants, mostly from Chad, Nigeria, Somalia and Eritrea, also was uncovered in the same state, the report said, without elaborating. Human trafficking is rife in Sudan

as smugglers use locally manufactured boats and take advantage of lawless areas in the conflict-ridden country. There have been several other incidents of illegal migrants drowning off the coast of Sudan on their way to nearby countries in past years, but the numbers have generally been smaller. Thousands of African migrants, especially Eritreans and Ethiopians, risk the dangerous routes to escape conflicts in their countries and to seek better lives in oil-rich states. In early June, a ship carrying some 850 migrants fleeing the conflict with Libya capsized off Tunisia, and 150 of the passengers drowned.

WTO rules against China on limit on raw materials GENEVA (AP) — The World Trade Organization ruled Tuesday that China was unfairly protecting its domestic manufacturers by limiting the export of nine raw materials that are used widely in the steel, aluminum and chemical industries. A WTO panel sided with the United States, European Union and Mexico, which had each filed complaints saying China was driving up the prices they pay for raw materials such as coke, bauxite and zinc by setting export duties and quotas on them. The panel rebuffed China’s argument that its export limits were needed to protect its environment, and said those export restrictions should be removed. WTO judges concluded that “China’s export duties were inconsistent with the commitments that China had agreed to” when it

joined the trade organization in 2001. “The panel also found that export quotas imposed by China on some of the raw materials were inconsistent with WTO rules,” the judges said. The judges recommended that the WTO ask China to drop the duties and quotas. China can still appeal the panel’s decision. But if Beijing loses the case, and then doesn’t comply, the parties to the case can negotiate a settlement — or a WTO body can authorize one. China’s export restrictions have caused supplies of some raw materials to tighten globally, pushing prices higher and creating an incentive to use Chinese manufacturing facilities. But the ruling’s more important effect could be that it helps the U.S. and Europeans support another trade complaint against Chinese attempts to restrict exports

of rare-earth materials that are used in many high-tech products, according to Europe’s trade chief. “This is a clear verdict for open trade and fair access to raw materials,” said EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht. “It sends a strong signal to refrain from imposing unfair restrictions to trade and takes us one step closer to a level playing field for raw materials.” He added that “in the light of this result, China should ensure free and fair access to rare earth supplies.” EU officials say export prices for raw materials more than doubled when compared with the price in China because of the export quotas, and for some products half of the final cost to consumers depends of the cost of those raw materials. Other materials affected by Tuesday’s ruling include fluorspar, magnesium,

manganese, silicon carbide, silicon metal and yellow phosphorus. The materials have a range of uses, from protecting against the corrosion of steel to being used in the manufacture of cell phones. U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk called the ruling a big victory for workers and manufacturers in the U.S. and worldwide. “China’s policies provide substantial competitive advantages for downstream Chinese industries at the expense of non-Chinese users of these materials,” he said. German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler, who oversees the largest national economy in Europe, called the ruling “a great success for Germany and the EU.” “Open markets in the worldwide trade with natural resources are crucial for the economies of Germany, Europe and the world,” he said.

Asbestos contamination raises fears in Montana town LIBBY, Mont. (AP) — For a decade, the people of Libby have longed for the day when they will be rid of the asbestos that turned their town into the deadliest Superfund site in America. Now they are being forced to live through the agony all over again, thanks to two giant piles of bark and wood chips on the edge of town. An Associated Press investigation found that the federal government has known for at least three years that the wood piles were contaminated with an unknown level of asbestos, even as Libby residents hauled truckload after truckload of the material away from the site and placed it in yards, in city parks, outside schools and at the local cemetery. The Environmental Protection Agency did not stop the removal of the material until the AP began investigating in early March. Regulators still do not know what effect the material could have on public health, but EPA documents obtained by the AP showed that the agency found potentially deadly asbestos fibers in four of 20 samples taken from the piles of scrap wood in 2007. The sprawling piles came from a now-defunct timber mill that took thousands of trees from a forest tainted with asbestos from a nearby mine. The potential for more contamination has frayed nerves in the town of 3,000 people and further eroded confidence in the government to clean up the mess that to date has killed an estimated 400 people and sickened 1,750.

Military could be key player in Venezuela’s political future CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuela’s military took center stage in the country’s bicentennial celebrations Tuesday, and it likely will be a key player in the country’s political future if Hugo Chavez is eventually forced out of the presidency by cancer. Thousands of troops marched beneath thundering fighter jets and helicopters while an announcer’s booming voice declared that the nation is “free, socialist, independent.” Top brass appeared alongside Chavez, a former paratrooper, as he saluted and addressed the parade from his presidential palace. The image brought to mind key moments of Chavez’s career, such as a 2002 coup against him, in which military loyalists came to his rescue. Despite the appearance of a fully unified Bolivarian National Armed Force, some analysts and former officers say there are long-standing internal divisions between those who solidly stand behind Chavez’s drive for socialism and those who do not. If Chavez’s health worsens, some believe latent tensions could erupt within the ranks and the military could end up playing a key role in any transition to new leadership. “It’s going to clearly be an important actor in the days to come,” said Diego Moya-Ocampos, a political analyst with IHS Global Insight in London. He said the military is “the only institution that would have the power to put pressure on the political actors to generate outcomes.”

Space shuttle’s promises didn’t materialize CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The space shuttle was sold to America as cheap, safe and reliable. It was none of those. It cost $196 billion over 40 years, ended the lives of 14 astronauts and managed to make less than half the flights promised. Yet despite all that, there were some big achievements that weren’t promised: major scientific advances, stunning photos of the cosmos, a high-flying vehicle of diplomacy that helped bring Cold War enemies closer, and something to brag about. Former President George H.W. Bush, who oversaw the early flights, said the shuttle program “authored a truly inspiring chapter in the history of human exploration.” NASA’s first space shuttle flight was in April 1981. The 135th and final launch is set for Friday, although storms could cause a delay. Once Atlantis lands at the end of a 12-day mission, it and the other two remaining shuttles are officially museum pieces — more expensive than any paintings.

YELLOWKNIFE, Northwest Territories (AP) — Prince William demonstrated his linguistic skills Tuesday, addressing adoring fans in Canada’s Northwest Territories in French, English and a few words in two tribal tongues. William spoke briefly during the welcoming ceremony at the Somba K’e Civic Plaza in Yellowknife, the capital of the sparsely populated Northwest Territories, the latest stop on his nine-day Canadian tour with his wife, Kate. “This place is what Canada is all about — vast, open beauty, tough, resilient, friendly peoples, true nature, true humanity,” the prince said with Kate seated beside him. “We’ve already sensed the extraordinary potential of this region and the irrepressible spirit of adventure that marks the people of the territories and defines the land. We are so excited to be here.” He concluded by saying thank you in two aboriginal tongues, Dene and Inuvialuktun, provoking loud cheering from the crowd. Dene is spoken throughout the territory, while Inuvialuktun is spoken by an Inuit tribe along the Arctic coast. The Duke of Cambridge, as he is formally known, has charmed citizens of this bilingual nation with his attempts at speaking in French. On Tuesday William made his first attempt at the country’s favorite sport, hockey. Wearing his traditional dark suit, he took three unobstructed shots during a street game with local youths, but was unable to land the puck in the net. The goalie said the prince had a good shot for a novice. “He looked like he knew what he was doing,” Calvin Lomen, 20. “I heard him say he doesn’t know how to play, but it seemed like he had a natural talent if he practiced more.” Still, the prince asked the goalie to let a shot in and he tried to oblige. “He said, ‘Please let the ball go into the net,’” Lomen said. “But it hit my stick instead and I wound up saving it.” Kate, who played field hockey at school, laughingly shrugged off calls from the crowd to take part herself, but she did drop the ceremonial puck to start off the game. The royals were presented with Olympic Team Canada hockey jerseys, each emblazoned with “Cambridge” on the back. Kate got number 1, William number 2. The royal couple started their day in a land where darkness never truly falls at this time of year, watching indigenous dancers in fur-trimmed parkas perform to the beat of tribal drums.

Lawsuit filed against UNC, NCAA BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

RALEIGH — A former North Carolina football player has filed a lawsuit against the school and the NCAA, seeking reinstatement after being declared permanently ineligible for academic misconduct. Defensive end Michael McAdoo is also seeking unspecified damages from the school and the NCAA,

which the lawsuit accuses of libel and “gross negligence” in ruling him ineligible based on inaccurate information. McAdoo’s attorneys filed the lawsuit Friday in Durham County Superior Court, claiming he was “improperly and unjustly” declared permanently ineligible in November. According to the complaint, the NCAA ruled McAdoo ineligible for receiving improper assistance from tutor Jennifer Wiley “on multiple as-

signments across several academic terms.” But McAdoo’s lawyers argue that the school’s Honor Court found him guilty of only one infraction: Representing another’s work as his own after Wiley had formatted in-text citations and the “works cited” page for websites used to prepare his research paper. The school’s Honor Court decided to suspend him from school for the spring semester, but allow him

to re-enroll in the summer and then return to the football team this fall. It cleared him in a second case and the student attorney general decided there was insufficient evidence to pursue a third against him. He had also received $110 in improper benefits. Most of that was connected to a trip to the Washington, D.C., area with teammates Marvin Austin and Greg Little, prompting the school to hold him out for the

first three games of last season. “All told, McAdoo has been declared permanently ineligible to play intercollegiate athletics because he received $110 in improper benefits (which he has since paid to charity), and because his university-assigned and trained tutor provided McAdoo with too much assistance ... for one class in the summer of 2009,” the

Kentucky prepares for race Associated Press

WARSAW, Ky. — Counties and cities near the Kentucky Speedway are gearing up to attract some of the 125,000 fans expected to arrive this week for the track’s inaugural Sprint Cup race. Track officials estimate that $150 million could be pumped into the local economy. The 400-mile Sprint cup race will conclude a tripleheader NASCAR weekend that opens with a 225-mile Camping World Truck Series race July 7 and spotlights a 300-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series event July 8. “This is like the Super Bowl coming to Kentucky,” said Tim Bray, director of communications for the speedway. “It’s a major, major event that is just as big in motor sports as the Derby is to horse racing.” The counties of Gallatin, Oldham, Jefferson, Owen and Carroll have festivities planned throughout the week to draw tourists and several business owners have expanded their hours. Rena Mylor, who owns a restaurant in Warsaw a few miles from the speedway, told The Courier-Journal that she is recruiting extra staff to handle the crowds. “It is going to be completely insane,” she said, laughing. In Oldham County, hotel guests will receive a coupon book and brochures designed to entice them to visit various stores, restaurants and venues. “We’re looking for as many ways as we can to attract people off the interstate to La Grange,” Oldham Judge-Executive David Voegele said. Until this year, the largest event at the speedway was the annual NASCAR Nationwide Series, which drew 70,000 fans in one day, Bray said. “It’s not just Kentucky Speedway’s guests,” said Jesse Harris, who does sales and marketing for the speedway. “It’s the region’s guests.” Since the races are in the evening, fans will be free for breakfast, lunch and shopping.

During the introductory news conference recently, Jimmer Fredette, Tyler Honeycutt and Isaiah Thomas sounded like three college kids who completed their homework and came ready to play. The Kings-Lakers rivalry. The more recent postseason drought. The delicate arena situation. They addressed the issues and talked about winning games, winning back the fans, winning like the old days and securing the franchise’s future in Sacramento. But particularly noteworthy was that Fredette was in the mid-

dle of everything. He was the star attraction and one of the guys. He refused to be the showstopper — more commonly referred to around here as a ballstopper — and sang with the chorus, in harmony with his new teammates. This is huge. This is it. This is the balancing act that has to continue. Fredette, 22, can be a rock star some of the time, accommodating his fans at rallies and airports and malls, tending to his expanding social network empire, obliging Kings management at meet-andgreets with sponsors and seasonticket holders and every Vera, Chuck and Dave who might be enticed to buy into his act. But even the Beatles took rehearsal breaks once in a while. “I’ve been in situations where some of my players have had cult followings,” said Kings coach Paul

Lowe lifts Braves BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

ATLANTA — A rookie is becoming Braves 5 one of the Rockies 3 big bats in the Atlanta Braves’ lineup. Freddie Freeman’s third homer in two games gave Atlanta the early lead, Derek Lowe hit a three-run double and the Braves beat the shorthanded Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Tuesday night. Freeman, who had two homers in Atlanta’s 4-1 win in Monday’s series opener, hit his 12th homer to center field off Jhoulys Chacin in the second inning. The rookie first

The homer in Freeman’s first at-bat gave him three in a span of five plate appearances in the first two games of the four-game series. The Braves have scored four or more runs in seven straight games. “I think this whole year, these guys never lacked confidence,” Braves manager AssociAted press Fredi Gonzalez said. “The pitching has been the consis- Braves’ derek Lowe (32) tips

Westphal, referring to his former Phoenix Suns superstar, Charles Barkley. “It’s often part of the NBA, and if it continues, it means you’re really, really good. “We want our team to embrace it. We want people to watch us play. At the same time, it doesn’t mean anything if you can’t back it up. Your focus is the job, and the circus is the circus.” And there is only one LeBron. And one Michael. And one Kobe. And one Larry and one Magic and one Charles. Westphal recalled occasions when helicopters flew overhead, chronicling Charles butchering yet another golf course. While it’s also true that there is only one Jimmer, at least until his name began appearing frequently on birth certificates in Utah, Fre-

MOCKSVILLE — When Mocksville’s Bull Barber crushed a pitch Kannapolis 10 from Kannapolis’ Zach Mocksville 7 Jones in the eighth inning, everyone assumed it was leaving Mando Field for a two-run homer. “I closed my eyes,” Jones said. “Ball gets hit like that, I don’t like to watch.” Fortunately for Jones and Kannapolis, Dylan May kept both eyes open, as he raced for the warning track. Maybe a foot from the wall in dead center, he pulled in the blast, and kept Jones in the ballgame. It was a long night of close calls for Kannapolis, but Post 115 somehow beat Mocksville 10-7 to qualify for the final spot in the Area III playoffs. Kannapolis (6-13, 612) was out-hit 13-4, believe it or not, but it

scratched out runs on errors, wild pitches, passed balls and aggressive baserunning. Will Miller, Wes Honeycutt and Landon Hubbard knocked in runs with infield outs, Taylor West and John Wallace had RBI singles, and Evan Holub hit a solo homer. Kannapolis got its other four runs without having to put the ball in play. “When you out-hit a team by as much as we did and still get beat, well, that’s just not good,” Mocksville coach Chares Kurfees. “Walks and passed balls hurt us, and we had some kids playing out of position.” Mocksville (14-10, 13-5) wanted the game. It was already assured of being the Southern Division’s No. 2 seed for the playoffs, but a win would have meant sharing the division title (with Rowan County) for the first time since 1993. But Mocksville couldn’t put its

The Hurricanes announced the signing Tuesday, shortly after they traded defenseman Joe Corvo to Boston for a draft pick. The 33-year-old Kaberle was dealt from Toronto to Boston at the trading deadline and helped the Bruins win the Stanley Cup. His brother, Frantisek, was a member of the Hurricanes’ 2006 Cup-winning team. Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford called Kaberle “one of the top puck-moving defensemen in the NHL.” Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said the team talked with Kaberle’s agent but they couldn’t reach an agreement. “We seized the opportunity,” Chiarelli said. “We do wish Tomas well. “He provided us with something we greatly needed in the Stanley Cup drive and he’s got a good contract with a good team now.” Kaberle had a combined four goals and 43 assists with the Maple Leafs and Bruins during the regular season, and had another 11 assists during the playoffs. He joins Joni Pitkanen as Carolina defensemen making at least $4 million this season.

Federer says Djokovic is No. 1 Associated Press

BERN, Switzerland — Roger Federer says it’s good for tennis that Novak Djokovic won Wimbledon and became the top-ranked player. The only player who has beaten him this year said Tuesday that Djokovic has earned his success after compiling a 48-1 record in 2011. “He deserves to become No. 1 after an immense start to the year,” said Federer, who defeated the 24-year-old Serb in the French Open semifinals. “When you lose so rarely, your confidence carries you a long way.” The third-ranked Federer said it wasn’t a big surprise that Djokovic dethroned Rafael Nadal after having beaten the former top-ranked Spaniard in four previous finals in 2011. “And he’s proved before at Wimbledon that he can play on grass,” said Federer, a few days before the start to Switzerland’s Davis Cup match against Portugal. “It’s good for ten-

nis that it happened.” Despite Sunday’s final promising to write a significant chapter in tennis history, the six-time Wimbledon champion did not watch it at home in Switzerland. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to watch the final, but for sure it was being played at a very high level,” he said. Federer lost in the quarterfinals to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France. The five-set defeat was the first time he blew a two-set lead in a Grand Slam singles match, and just the third time in his career. The first came against former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt in the 2003 Davis Cup semifinals against Australia — the closest Federer has come to lifting the trophy. Since then, Federer has won all 12 singles matches on national duty, the most recent against Italy in September 2009 to help keep Switzerland in the elite 16-nation world group.

Tiger says he’ll skip British Open Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Those “minor” injuries to his left leg now have kept Tiger Woods from playing in two majors. In an announcement on his website Tuesday that came as no surprise, Woods said he would skip the British Open next week because his injuries have not fully healed. “Unfortunately, I’ve been advised that I should not play in the British Open,” Woods

said. “As I stated at the AT&T National, I am only going to come back when I’m 100 percent ready. I do not want to risk further injury. That’s different for me, but I’m being smarter this time. I’m very disappointed.” It will be the second time in the last four years that Woods has missed two majors in one season. He did not play the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008 while recovering from reconstructive surgery on his left knee.

These injuries are not as easy to describe. Woods said in May that he suffered “minor injuries” to knee ligaments and his Achilles while hitting from an awkward stance in the pine straw on the 17th hole in the third round at the Masters. Afterward, he skipped the Wells Fargo Championship and withdrew after nine holes from The Players Championship a week later. Woods said last week it was a mistake to go to The Players,

and that had he waited, he would be playing golf right now. “In hindsight, I probably shouldn’t have competed at The Players, but it’s a big event, and I wanted to be there to support the tour,” he said. “I’ve got to learn from what I did there and do it right this time and not come back until I’m ready.” Woods didn’t say whether he expected to play in the final major, the PGA Championship, which starts Aug. 11 tiger Woods is still hampered by a leg injury. at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

Sabathia leads Yankees Associated Press

The American League roundup ... CLEVELAND — CC Sabathia took out any anger for being snubbed as an All-Star by striking out 11 in seven shutout innings, Curtis Granderson homered twice and Derek Jeter moved closer to 3,000 career hits as the New York Yankees roughed up the Cleveland Indians 9-2 on Tuesday night. Jeter went 2 for 6 and now has 2,996 hits, leaving him four shy of becoming the 28th major leaguer — and first Yankee — to reach 3,000. Sabathia (12-4) allowed five hits, walked two and overpowered the team that drafted him in 1998 and traded him 10 years later. Despite leading the league in wins and going 9-1 in his last 10 starts, Sabathia was left off the AL roster for the July 12 All-Star game in Phoenix. Granderson hit a two-run homer in the second and solo shot in the fourth.

Red Sox 3, Blue Jays 2 BOSTON — Darnell McDonald threw out Edwin Encarnacion at the plate on a single to short left field for the final out. Jose Bautista hit a two-run homer with nobody out in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon. A single by Encarnacion and a walk to J.P. Arencibia put runners at first and second with two outs. John McDonald looped a single that Darnell McDonald charged and, on the run, fired the ball on the fly to Jason Varitek. Boston starter Jon Lester tossed four hitless innings before leaving with a strained muscle on the left side of his back. Twins 3, Rays 2 MINNEAPOLIS — Scott Baker had another impressive start cut short by injury before Glen Perkins bailed out struggling closer Matt Capps in the ninth again to help the Minnesota Twins hang on for a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.

PITTSBURGH — Jeff Karstens allowed one run in seven-plus innings, Brandon Wood homered and Pittsburgh won its third consecutive game, 5-1 over Houston on Tuesday night. Pittsburgh (45-41) improved to four games over .500 this late in a season for the first time since 1992, the team’s most recent winning season before a major North American professional sports record 18 straight losing seasons. The Pirates did not win their 45th game last season until Sept. 3. Clint Barmes went 2 for 4 with a homer for Houston, which has lost five straight and 10 of 11.

Walker and Lyle Overbay two hits and two runs each for the Pirates, who have won four of five and 10 of 14. Phillies 14, Marlins 2 MIAMI — Ryan Howard had four hits and four RBIs for Philadelphia. Marlins manager Jack McKeon opted to walk Howard with a runner on first and the game tied 0-0 in the third. The Phillies scored five times in the inning and when the Marlins pitched to Howard an inning later, he hit his 18th homer. Raul Ibanez hit his 10th homer and drove in four runs for the Phillies, who achieved season highs in runs and hits (18). Cole Hamels (10-4) allowed two runs in eight innings to join teammate Roy Halladay as a 10-game winner. Cardinals 8, Reds 1 ST. LOUIS — Matt Holliday homered twice hours after being picked to

represent the National League in the Home Run Derby and Jaime Garcia had another stingy home outing for St. Louis. The Cardinals activated Albert Pujols from the 15-day disabled list before the game but did not use him. Nationals 3, Cubs 2 WASHINGTON — Second baseman Jeff Baker’s incredibly wayward throw gave Washington two runs in the first inning, and Ross Detwiler won his season debut. Diamondbacks 7, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Arizona's Justin Upton homered after learning he had been snubbed for the Home Run Derby. Gerardo Parra also homered for the Diamondbacks, who built a six-run lead early and improved to 3-2 on this 10-game road trip before hosting the All-Star game next Tuesday.

4-0 with his bases-loaded double in the fourth. Lowe’s hit drove in Jones, who doubled, and Dan Uggla and Nate McLouth, who both walked. Lowe has five hits this season, including three doubles. He also posted his 1,600th career strikeout against Seth Smith in the second. The Rockies outhit the Braves 9-7 but had no extra-base hits as Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki were held out with injuries. Uggla, who was hitting .173 coming in, added his 13th homer in the sixth. Lowe’s complaint was he faltered soon after his big hit. “I think I continue to find ways to

make a game, when you seem like you’re in control, to making it close,” Lowe said. “From my standpoint, that’s frustrating. “You get a 4-0 lead and you feel good, and then you end up walking guys.” Lowe issued two walks in Colorado’s two-run fifth. Craig Kimbrel pitched the ninth for his 26th save for the Braves, who have won seven of their last eight. Kimbrel matched Jonathan Papelbon’s record for the most saves by a rookie before the All-Star break since 1969. Papelbon had 26 saves for Boston before the break in 2006.

He got the final two outs with the help of third baseman Jarrin Hogue, who leaped high to spear a liner off Merritt’s bat. “I was creeping in because he’s a lefty hitter,” Hogue said. “Then he hit that ball really good. I was lucky to catch it.” Some luck was involved, but Stack was finally smiling. “It’s kinda like golf,” he said. “No one cares how you shot what you shot. All that matters is what your score was.”

Stem cell controversy abounds Dear Dr. Gott: Is there any treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using stem cell research here in the United States or overseas? I’m interested. Dear Reader: There are two types of stem cells: embryonic and adult. Embryonic cells are taken DR. PETER from fertilGOTT ized eggs or aborted fetuses and have been found useful for medical research because they have the capability of producing cells for almost every tissue in the body. Adult cells are not as desirable because they are designated for specific cells such as blood, muscle, skin and intestines and are difficult to harvest. Oddly enough, “adult” is something of a misnomer because people of every age have them. Stem cells have the ability to generate new tissue, cure some diseases, test drugs and help researchers understand why some cells develop in an abnormal manner. Once this is completely understood, scientists may be able to determine how to prevent some diseases. Stem cell research is extremely promising for several disorders, yet the controversy continues. There is a belief by opponents that fertilized eggs are actually human beings with rights. Supporters take the position that fertilized eggs are donated with the approval of the couples involved

and would likely be discarded, eliminating the potential for any eggs to become human beings. On the positive side, scientists have developed a successful technique for generating stem cells from mice without destroying the embryo; however, the technique hasn’t been used on either human or embryonic tissue at this writing. The long and short of it is, perhaps other treatment might be more appropriate for you at this time. You can find more information from the International Society of Stem Cell Research, www.ISSCR.org. Dear Dr. Gott: Your articles regarding sleep deprivation and job performance are of interest. I sailed as a licensed deck officer aboard U.S.-flag oil tankers for 10 years after graduating from California Maritime Academy many years ago. I’m suggesting that any future study of sleep-deprived persons add the men and women who work on merchant ships. I did not sail for Exxon (it was BP) but had the same route into and out of Valdez, Alaska, during the late 1980s and believe a lot of what attributed to the Exxon ship grounding on the reef was caused by the crew’s lack of sleep. When the tankers were loading/discharging, I was lucky to get four hours of sleep a day. Sometimes the job had us awake around the clock until the cargo was finished, and then we’d sail off to the next dock. I quit the race more than 22 years ago, found a shore job and never looked back. Dear Reader: You bring up a

very good point that I may have failed to emphasize adequately — safety. When by necessity we work long hours without relief or adequate sleep, everyone around us pays the price. We become cranky, short-tempered, and find ourselves performing tasks with a hit-or-miss approach, simply to get the job done. The quality of work suffers and can lead to truly devastating results. We are often troubled with family issues, extra-heavy work loads, coordinating tasks that seem to pile up, caring for children, grandchildren or the elderly, meeting seemingly impossible schedules. The results are less than optimal. If we must get a family member to school or a soccer game by a specific time and start off late because of work overload, we tend to drive faster to make up the time. Not only are we endangering ourselves and our loved ones, we are also endangering other drivers and pedestrians who may be nearby. And it’s all because of fatigue, overload and sheer exhaustion. Excessive sleepiness is the second-leading cause of car crashes and a leading cause of truck crashes in the United States. Sleep deprivation while driving is like driving drunk. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD .com. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Wednesday, July 6 Several social contacts could play important roles in your affairs in the year ahead. Depending on the issues, decide between which ones would be a big help to you business-wise and which ones will help enhance your popularity. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Because you’re both curious and observant, there isn’t too much that’ll escape your attention, including things everybody else has missed. You’ll share your insights with others. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Keep your wits about you at all times, especially when engaged with financial or commercial matters. You should be able to take what you learn and improvise on it profitably. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — You have a talent that sometimes enables you to juggle several projects simultaneously. What baffles others, however, is your ability to do an equally good job on each task. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you hope to fulfill an ambitious objective, keep all the essentials to yourself. The fewer people who interfere, the easier it will be for you to do a good job completing all the details. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — In order to save a bit of money, you need to be able to stay on budget. It behooves you not to go shopping with a good friend who always gives their credit cards a good workout. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — One of your greatest gifts is being able to use your mental agility to meet and overcome complicated challenges and obstacles. You’re likely to use it quite a bit at this juncture. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When dealing with people under most conditions, it isn’t wise to offer unsolicited advice. At this point however, if you have a suggestion that could help a confused friend, speak up. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — As long as all of the partners involved are making an equal contribution, joint ventures have a better than usual chance of working out quite well at this time. Speedy results are probable. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is a good chance that you will be required to decide an issue where all of the alternatives appear to be of equal value. Look favorably upon options that have worked in the past. Aries (March 21-April 19) — The perfect opportunity to put down someone who hasn’t treated you too kindly lately might pop up at last. Regardless of how great the temptation is to do so, be above it all. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Taking a bit of a recreational break when possible could prove to be valuable to you and your work. The more relaxed you are, the better you will be able to perform. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Two huge matters that you left hanging and are very anxious to wrap up will at last approach the final stages.

The unusual play would snare most BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Benjamin Disraeli, the British prime minister for most of 1868 and from 1874 to 1880, said, "I feel a very unusual sensation -if it is not indigestion, I think it must be gratitude." Anyone who finds the unusual play that is needed to defeat this three-notrump contract would be unusual and also feel an unusual sensation -- great gratitude from partner. First, look at the North hand. South opens one notrump, showing 15-17 points. What should North do? Once you have decided, also look at West's hand. West leads his heart five against three no-trump. South takes East's king with his ace and plays a low club from his hand.

What should West do? North should raise immediately to three no-trump. If his suit is worth five or six tricks, probably three notrump will roll home. If the diamonds provide only two winners, declarer will probably take at most seven tricks. When you have a good long minor with no singleton, no void and no thoughts of a slam, bid three no-trump. Second hand low works most of the time. But if West does that here, South takes the trick with dummy's 10 and claims nine tricks: two hearts, six diamonds and one club. What would declarer be expected to do first? Right -establish dummy's diamonds. When he does not, he must have the diamond king; the suit is ready to run. He is trying to sneak a ninth winner. And if so, West's only hope is to grab the trick with his ace and shift to spades, hoping

‘Captain America’ keeps full name in most of the world LOS ANGELES (AP) — Captain America will keep its patriotic full title in most of the world when the superhero adventure hits the bigscreen. Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios gave distributors around the world the option of shortening the title of “Captain America: The First Avenger” to simply “The First Avenger,” out of concern about anti-American

sentiment. But the only countries that took them up on it were Russia, Ukraine and South Korea. In other territories, the movie will go out with the full title, a sign that the brand value of the Marvel Comics hero trumps any potential anti-U.S. feelings in some parts of the world. Movie titles often are changed in foreign countries.

East has at least king-fourth. Best is to lead the spade queen, cash the ace, and play a third round. Then West would deserve East's gratitude.

FROM 1B

Craft store owner Michelle Gardner said she placed three discount options in Oldham’s coupon book and will have extended hours this week. Neal O’Connor, who owns the Sparta BP across from the Kentucky Speedway, said he put a new coat of paint on his building; ordered extra shipments of water, soda and beer and is bringing in portable toilets. He said he expects his business to quadruple. Bret Calhoun, administrative assistant for the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce & Community Development Corp., said Carrollton is planning a festival that includes a beer garden, music, food and race cars. “We definitely want to take advantage of this,” Carroll Judge-Executive County Harold “Shorty” Tomlinson said. “It gives us the opportunity to showcase our community.” IOWA SPEEDWAY DES MOINES, Iowa — Featherlite Inc. founder Conrad Clement and his family

dette doesn’t need the added burden of lifting a franchise. Once — and whenever — the season begins, calm and a semblance of sanity need to be restored. The trick is to capitalize on his charismatic presence without exploiting his accommodating nature. Already, Fredette plays in a different league. His brother, T.J., raps for him. Fans mail poems to his family in Glens Falls, N.Y. ESPN can’t get enough of him. Apparently, neither can anyone else. He has been the subject of four documentaries and at least one significant misconception — that the Kings’ owners dictated his selection at No. 10 for marketing purposes, upsetting the coaches and other front office staff. Not true. Not even close to true. Westphal signed on for Jimmermania when the BYU star completed his pre-draft workout at the Kings’ practice facility. Basketball president Geoff Petrie, who makes the final decisions, liked Connecticut guard Kemba Walker, but he loves shooters. He was leaning toward Fredette when Charlotte grabbed Walker at No. 9, rendering further debate moot. “And let me tell you something about Geoff,” Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said. “When you bring up the marketing (potential of) a player, it’s like giving the kid the death sentence. Geoff doesn’t like it. He doesn’t like it. He says, ‘Picking the best player and winning games will take care of marketing.’ ” Yet deny that the Maloofs and the business types aren’t marketing aggressively before the current labor agreement expires Thursday? The squeeze was on the minute Fredette touched down in Sacramento. All weekend, he didn’t have time to

UNC FROM 1B complaint states. “This punishment is grossly disproportionate to the facts of McAdoo’s case, and is inconsistent with the punishment meted out by the UNC Honor Court.” The 6-foot-7, 245-pound lineman from Antioch, Tenn., turns 21 on Saturday. He was one of seven players forced to sit out all of last season amid the NCAA’s investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct. The lawsuit seeks to compel chancellor Holden Thorp to reinstate McAdoo while also preventing the NCAA from interfering in the process or punishing the school if McAdoo returns. A hearing on that request is scheduled for July 15. A school spokeswoman said the university is reviewing the lawsuit but had no fur-

have purchased the Iowa Speedway in a sale that officials said won’t affect the daily operations of the popular track. The 0.875-mile track has been a hit with fans in Iowa

since it opened in 2006. This year, Iowa has four major events on the schedule, including last month’s IndyCar race, two NASCAR Nationwide events and a

NASCAR trucks series event on July 16. IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard also said last week that he’d like a doubleheader at Iowa in 2012.

ther comment. A call to the NCAA for comment was not immediately returned Tuesday. The university initially reported the academic allegations against McAdoo to the NCAA before the cases were reviewed by the school’s Honor Court, which issued its guilty verdict in October. Still, the school reported that its investigation concluded “it was reasonable for McAdoo to assume that the type of assistance offered and provided to him by his formally-assigned tutor ... would be permissible,” according to the complaint. The NCAA ruled McAdoo permanently ineligible the next month based on “clearly erroneous” information as well as the allegation that McAdoo knowingly committed academic fraud, according to the complaint. Then, in December, the NCAA “disregarded its own stated procedures and moved forward

with the appeal when the factual record was in dispute,” according to the complaint. Noah H. Huffstetler III, McAdoo’s attorney in Raleigh, said his office sent a letter to the NCAA in June with documentation refuting the ruling that McAdoo had committed multiple academic offenses. He said they followed up with a phone call about 10 days later, but received no response. Later that month, the full charges against McAdoo resurfaced again in the NCAA’s notice of allegations, which outlined numerous major violations within the football program. “We really did our best to resolve the issues without litigation,” Huffstetler said. “But it became apparent that we had to file this lawsuit when we did for Mr. McAdoo to have any chance of playing this fall. ... We haven’t received even the courtesy of a call back, no response whatsoever.”

The improper benefits consisted primarily of an $89 hotel bill for two nights in Maryland as well as $10 for a cover charge at a nightclub in April 2010. McAdoo believed Austin had paid the expenses. The NCAA later linked the hotel expenses to Todd Stewart, who it termed a prospective agent because of his ties to a financial advising firm, according to the complaint. McAdoo spoke with the NCAA last July when investigators first visited campus, though news of the possible academic violations didn’t surface until a month later. The changes Wiley made to the citations in McAdoo’s paper in July 2009 were via email and qualified as an hour of improper extra tutoring benefits, valued at $11. The benefits were considered improper because Wiley had recently graduated, though the complaint states McAdoo didn’t know she was no longer a school employee.

breathe, much less touch a basketball. His schedule included the following: fanfest at the airport; dinner with Westphal and members of the front office; four meet-and-greets with sponsors and season-ticket holders; a formal introductory news conference; a rally at Arden Fair mall; a photo shoot with team staffers; and, finally, a live chat for the team website. Throughout the blur of activity, Fredette remained agreeable and good-natured and, with one exception, appeared to genuinely enjoy the attention. “He was a little overwhelmed at the airport,” said his father, Al Fredette. “He’s not used to people crowding up against him. But this is where he wants to be. He thinks he has an opportunity to get major playing time, and if you’re a competitor, you want playing time.” Fredette’s personal story and the onslaught of attention accompanying his meteoric rise almost overshadow his talents. The real reasons the Kings drafted him? The range on his shot is ridiculous. His crossover is wicked. His passing and playmaking are underrated. He patterns his game after Deron Williams and sees a lot of himself in Stephen Curry. Soon enough, he will see all those Jimmers running around Utah. So what’s next? A television show? A radio gig? An arena built in his honor? Seriously, the Kings can’t succumb to temptation. They have to be smart about this. They will need to tamp it down when the season starts. A locker room is a fragile, delicate place. Too much attention heaped on one player causes resentment among the others. “We’ll take a look at it,” Westphal said, “and if it seems to be something we need to be concerned about, we’ll make changes. But (laughing) I don’t think he has been particularly worn down by it yet.”

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER The Nation\'s weather will remain relatively calm on Wednesday as the summertime storm track sits well to the north of the United States. Some wet weather is anticipated in the interior Northeast where a weak trough will bring steady rain to Upstate New York, and the northern portions of Vermont and New Hampshire. Precipitation will be heaviest in the White Mountains, where some local flooding is possible. The Southeast will continue to see afternoon thunderstorms pop up as humid air from the Gulf of Mexico streams ashore. The strong summer sun will heat the land causing these storms to develop, and some will last into the evening and overnight hours. In the Southwest, more monsoon thunderstorms are expected, with heavy downpours expected to accompany some of them. Desert thunderstorms can be dangerous as flash flooding is always a concern. These thunderstorms tend to stay nearly stationary and deposit a lot of rain over a small area. The runoff from the storms can travel many miles and flash flooding is possible even when the storms are far away. The West coast will remain warmer than normal as high pressure builds in the region. Temperatures along the coast will be especially pleasant, and inland highs will be quite warm.
