Online gaming fans left out in cold by bill BY SHELLEY SMITH

Online gambling is a signature away from being banned in North Carolina after the N.C. Legislature passed a bill Wednesday to end computer sweepstakes. If Gov. Beverly Perdue signs the bill, Internet and sweepstakes cafes will be forced to shut down by Dec. 1.

Legislation that would strip Rowan County commissioners of two of the three appointments to the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board was approved by the General Assembly on Thursday and now goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue. The Senate approved the bill on a third reading Wednesday morning, and the House concurred in the afternoon by a vote of 109-0. N.C. Reps. Lorene Coates and Fred Steen, who represent Rowan in the House, could not be reached for comment Thursday. The language changing how appointments are made to the Rowan-Kannapolis board was added by N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell of Cabarrus County to a bill that would reform the state’s Alcohol Beverage Control system. Perdue sought the measure, which requires more state monitoring of the way local ABC boards run their liquor stores. Hartsell’s amendment would give Salisbury and Kannapolis the authority to appoint members to

Firefighters from four counties battling flames at a Cleveland business Wednesday encountered superheated conditions.

About 100 firefighters and emergency personnel worked with 30 pieces of fire equipment when they responded to the four-alarm fire around 7 p.m. Morrison, chief of the West Rowan department, said the heat was rough on the firefighters.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the biggest spy swap since the Cold War, 10 confessed Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America were ordered deported Thursday in exchange for four people convicted of betraying Moscow to the West. The agents, many speaking in heavy Russian accents despite having spent years posing as U.S. citizens, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom, were sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country. U.S. and Russian officials said they would be exchanged for four Russians convicted of spying for the West. The swap carries significant consequences for efforts between Washington and Moscow to repair ties chilled by a deepening atmosphere of suspicion. The 10 U.S. defendants, captured last week in their homes across the Northeast, were accused

One worked for an accounting firm, another was a real-estate agent, another a columnist for a Spanish-language newspaper. Attorney General Eric Holder said the “extraordinary” case took years of work, “and the agreement we reached today provides a successful resolution for the United States and its interests.” White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said on PBS’ “NewsHour” that President Barack Obama was aware of the investigation, the decision to go forward with arrests and the spy swap with Russia.

Solid news on jobs leads to another day of gains on Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) — Investors are getting enthusiastic about stocks again after some reassuring news from the job market. Stocks rose for a third straight day Thursday on the Labor Department’s report of a larger than expected drop in the number of newly laidoff people seeking unemployment benefits. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 121 points after climbing 275 Wednesday and advancing modestly Tuesday. The 4.7 percent gain in that time is the Dow’s best three-day move since mid-May. Employment news has been the key driver behind the market’s moves during the past few weeks. Thursday’s news was a welcome change from a string of disappointing jobs reports, including the government’s June employment numbers, that have pounded stocks recently. The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits dropped last week to their lowest levels since early May. Claims fell to 454,000, better than the 465,000 forecast by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. High unemployment has
hurt consumer confidence, which in turn has slowed spending. And because consumers account for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, the recovery is unlikely to gain much momentum unless consumers are working and feeling more secure about spending. Retailers had mixed news about consumer spending. Several big retailers including those that cater to teenagers reported lackluster June sales. Others including department store operators Macy’s Inc. and JCPenney Co., saw a pickup in business. Overall, merchants said shoppers again spent cautiously, and analysts said stores were discounting heavily in order to bring customers in. American Eagle Outfitters Inc. fell 46 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $11.80 after its June sales disappointed traders. Abercrombie & Fitch rose $2.55, or 7.8 percent, to $35.45. Gap Inc. fell $1.50, or 7.6 percent, to $18.22. The Dow rose 120.71, or 1.2 percent, to 10,138.99. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 9.98, or 0.9 percent, to 1,070.25, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 15.93, or 0.7 percent, to 2,175.40.

tion, decided to meet another day for lunch to talk some more. At first, they developed a friendship, gradually discovering they had similar interests. They went on long walks and biking excursions, took picnics and enjoyed auto shows and shopping. As their relationship deepened, they traveled to the mountains and beach together. Soon, they were going on cruises, including an unforgettable trip to Alaska last year. On their third cruise this April, Gary asked Valerie to marry him, thinking they were perfect for each other. She didn’t hesitate. “I love Gary to death,” Valerie says. “I never thought I’d find anyone like him.”
ONLINE FROM 1A the Internet cafes for things other than online gambling. “It’s good for younger kids, or for those who can’t afford a computer at home,” Moss said. “There were two girls here the other night doing research for a paper they were writing. “I use it for playing my Facebook games.” Moss questioned why state lawmakers would close the cafes if they were really concerned about people. “What about jobs?” he asked. “Is the unemployment rate not high enough for them?” Moss, a disabled veteran, visits the Employment Security Commission almost every day, and then visits the Internet cafe on South Main Street. He said the games are relaxing to him and many others, and there is never any cursing or ill will by patrons. “This place does more good than harm,” he said. “I was computer illiterate before I came to these places. I learned to operate the keyboard, check my e-mail, a lot of good stuff. “You’re taking a good tool away from the community. It’s a safe, clean environment.” One frequent visitor to D&D.Net off of Jake Alexander Boulevard said online gambling has its negatives. She didn’t want her name used, but said, “It is addicting, and people get hurt. People come in and try to win off that (free) dollar. People take their last $5 and try to win, and some play with their paychecks — and they lose it. It’s sad.” She said the problem with the state bill was that people can still gamble online with their credit cards at home, and it is no different than playing the lottery. “It’s not any worse than smoking crack,” she said.

The economy is crazy.” Vermell Kenner, another regular at D&D.Net, only comes in to use the Internet. “I don’t think they should close them,” he said. “I look forward to coming here to use the Internet. You can mingle with people. It’s a good time.” Devonte Peterson, part owner of a sweepstakes cafe, the Business Center on Jake Alexander Boulevard, opened the facility in November. He plans to relocate to a state that allows online gambling. “There’s not too much you can do as of Dec. 1,” he said. “I’ve met a lot of people in the business — people that have been in the industry their whole lives — so we’ve learned a lot.” Peterson, who has family in Virginia and Ohio, said he will most likely be moving to one of those states. “We were here from the ground up,” he said. “It’s a pretty big investment.

About the only things Gary and Valerie don’t have in common are their ages and professional football allegiances. Valerie, 41, is a Dallas Cowboys fan; Gary, 57, flies the Washington Redskins’ colors. Gary has a fondness for restoring old Chevy pickups. In his shop these days, he has torn apart a 1968 C-10. Valerie tends to visit him a lot in the shop, when she’s not taking a nap in the shade-tree hammock out front. Gary gives her a lot of grief about those naps. A former truck driver and paint-and-body repair man, Gary has been with Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ transportation department for 13 years. From his previous marriage, he has two grown daughters, Jessica and Kendra. Valerie is still a full-time school bus driver, running routes for both South Rowan High and Henderson Independent High. Her marriage to Gary also will be her second. Besides her daughter, Stephanie, she has a younger son, 15-year-old Hunter, who will give her away on the July 18 wedding day. Valerie also has a 4-yearold granddaughter, Riley Nicole, who was born just six weeks after Rodney died. The little girl carries the same initials, R.N., as her late uncle.

“But it’s good recreational use,” he said. “And we’re just a minority-owned business trying to make a living.” Phillip Bradshaw is part owner of South Main Internet, and he said he will close his doors the last day in November after the bill becomes a law. “I don’t agree with the law,” he said. “It’s no different than playing the lottery, going to Cherokee, or playing Bingo. “They’re just picking on us because the state doesn’t get anything from us.” Bradshaw said he will hate to lay off his employees, and hopes everyone can find a job quickly. “The state doesn’t seem to care about people losing their jobs,” he said. “But you can’t fight big government.” Bradshaw said the cafes are good for communities, and offering services for people who may not have Internet access. “There are people that come in, surf the Internet, pay bills, get on Facebook or Twitter, and some come in and play the sweepstakes,” he said. “It’s all types of people. Just like all types of people who play the lottery, or go to Walmart. “It’s a safe place for people to come and have a good time.” The city of Salisbury recently approved a $500 per machine tax for sweepstakes cafes and will be collecting that within the next month, despite the bill. The town of Spencer is currently collecting a $100 per machine tax for its cafes. Neither budgeted the projected revenue from the tax into budgets, but officials from both agreed the extra income would be welcomed.
“You get robbed, spending all your money, and you do it again. I don’t think you ever come out ahead.” She said the advice she gives anyone who hasn’t tried online gambling is to never start, and that once you do, it sort of becomes a secret life. “You don’t want people to know you are here,” she said. “If you are playing and your phone rings, you might say you’re at the grocery store. You don’t want people to know.” Chris Robinson of Salisbury is also a fan of D&D.Net, and said he visits the shop every day. “I’ll find something else to do,” he said. “Another way to use my money.” Charlette Robbins, a fulltime employee of D&D.Net, said that once Dec. 1 rolls around, she’ll lose a lot of friends and will have to get back into the unemployment pool. “I liked meeting all the people and seeing all of the new faces,” she said, “and of course, the money.” Robbins said she doesn’t see a problem in online gambling, despite never gambling herself and working at a sweepstakes cafe. “I think it’s a good thing because most of the customers know how much they can spend, and it’s relaxing to them,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a problem.” Robbins will hate to lose

Faithful Friends to break ground on new shelter

THE GREAT BULLHOLE RACE
B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
A few years ago, a group of animal lovers gathered for a common effort — to build a nokill animal sanctuary in Rowan County. This weekend the dreams of those few will unfold as Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary breaks ground at the site of their shelter. The event, is Saturday at 10 a.m., 220 Grace Church Road. “We want people to come celebrate with us. We’ve also invited lots of people,” said President Mary Padavick. She said more than 1,300 invitations were sent out. Many of those expected to attend are the volunteers and individuals in the community who held bake sales, yard sales, recycled cans, hosted events and made contributions. Dr. Albert Aymer, president of Hood Theological Seminary, will say a blessing of the land and animals. Founder Anne Ingram will also attend, as will board members. The nonprofit has also chosen Summit Developers of Salisbury to build the animal sanctuary. “The board looked at a lot of factors. It wasn’t an easy decision,” Padavick said. The decision was in part based on cost, references and how close Summit Developers came to building what the organization envisioned for their building. Grading started at the site June 30 and framing, roofing and other structural materials should be in place by winter. “By December or January that’s when the visual stuff happens,” she said. The proposed completion date is March 2011. As with most construction projects, if the weather permits, the project may be completed sooner. Just because construction will begin, Padavick said there is still a need to continue fundraising. “Our dream is to have the building paid in full when the doors open,” she said. So far $585,000 has been raised. The cost to build is $752,000. “We want to raise enough to pay for the building and have operation money,” Padavick said. No donation is too small, she said.

Jamie ONeal dumps nearly 800 ducks in the river near the little rapids below the dam. The Bullhole turned bright yellow Saturday as nearly 800 rubber ducks took to the waters of the South Yadkin River for the first Great Bullhole Duck Race. The event was a fundraiser for the RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls — commonly known as the Bullhole. Net proceeds were nearly $2,000, all of which will go for park upkeep in the coming year, organizers said. The event drew about 300 people who cheered on the ducks as they were dumped into the river below the dam then made a swift ride down the “little rapids” and floated to the finish line halfway to what remains of an old bridge. Gracia Littauer of Cooleemee won the $250 first prize; Dr. Vance Merhoff of Salisbury won the $100 second prize; and Lauren Smith of Davidson County placed third for $50 in cash. RiverPark’s Duck Race teams included many children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren of Leon and Frances O’Neal of Cooleemee. “We practically raised them at the river,” said Leon O’Neal, who, according to many, has the greatest store of knowledge about fish, wildlife and natural environment there.

Several fire departments responded to a house fire on Menius Road Thursday afternoon The fire occurred about 4:30 p.m. at 315 Menius Road, just down the road from Bostian Heights Fire Department. Neighbor Pamela Gibson said she saw smoke coming from the roof and called the property owner. “I called our landlord and told her I saw smoke,” Gibson said. Jeremy Hughes, 18, and his mother, Melinda, were inside the one-level brick home when the fire began. Gibson said she didn’t have her neighbor’s phone number so the landlord called the Hughes family, who were able to get out of the house unharmed. Jeremy Hughes said he and his mother have lived at the home for about eight years. While firefighters put out hot spots, Hughes sat cradling the family’s pet fawn, which was inside a chicken coop in the front of the home.

Police seek drive-by shooting identities Salisbury Police are working to identify two passengers in a vehicle involved in a drive-by shooting early Tuesday morning near the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Castlewood Drive. A Charlotte Observer carrier told police she noticed a silver Chrysler Sebring following her in the area of Harris Teeter on Jake Alexander Boulevard. The vehicle continued to follow her down Jake Alexander toward Interstate 85. As she approached the intersection of Jake Alexander and Castlewood Drive shortly before 1:45 a.m., the vehicle pulled alongside, and one of the occupants fired multiple shots. Four bullets struck the woman’s car, but she was not injured. Police spotted the Sebring and gave chase. The car wrecked near the intersection of Confederate Avenue and West Henderson Streets.
The occupants fled on foot. Police arrested Jerod Angle, 20, of 6480 Hackenberry Court Trail, Charlotte, a short time later after he reported his vehicle, the wrecked silver Sebring, as stolen. Angle has been charged with discharging a firearm into occupied property, speeding to elude arrest and resisting arrest. He is being held in the Rowan County Detention Center under $45,000 bond. Police have not identified the shooter. Chief Rory Collins said police are working to identify the other two Sebring occupants and they will face the same charges as Angle. Police are also working to determine the motive — whether it was an attempted robbery, a case of mistaken identity or some other reason. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.

Benefit concert Sunday in China Grove BY SHAVONNE POTTS
spotts@salisburypost.com
Area bands are joining forces to raise money for two Kannapolis families who’ve been affected by tragic loss. Organizer Louis Bodak felt the call to help Amber Lewis, whose husband, Chris, died in a head-on collision in April, and Lynette Richardson, who lost her husband to kidney failure. Both families live in Kannapolis and have three children. Richardson has a son going into college. The money would help with expenses, he said. Bodak worked with Chris Lewis and still works with Richardson at Home Depot. “I felt I needed to do it. It’s getting people together to help other people out,” Bodak said. The event, a benefit concert, is being organized by BAND-IT, an online social networking site that Bodak started as a way to promote this and other similar events. The concert is from 3 p.m.-8 p.m., Sunday, at Moose Lodge Family Center, 990 Old Beatty Ford Road, China Grove. There will be a raffle that will include a one night stay at a bed and breakfast in Waynesville and a Richard Petty NASCAR driving experience. Tickets to the event are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and younger. Raffle tickets are five for $5. The money collected at the door and from the raffle will go to the Lewis and Richardson families. The event will feature

No9Coal is a bluegrass band while Jubal Kane is based in Concord, some of its members are from Charlotte. “We have the musicians who will do it. They are donating their talent and time,” Bodak said. Amber Lewis said she was surprised when she found out Bodak was planning this event. She found out from some Home Depot employees and was later contacted by Bodak. “I was pleasantly surprised that they thought enough of Chris to do that,” she said. Lewis said she plans to attend. “I’m very excited. For them just to do this for my husband is amazing,” Lewis said. She hopes that people will attend and hear the bands. Bodak is also petitioning for people to vote for Lewis on a website for Pigeon Forge, which helps families in need. People go on the site and vote for a family that can have their car payments made for a year or their mortgage paid for a year up to $15,000. Bodak is asking for people to vote for Amber at http://www.mypigeonforge.com /savingvacations. For more information about the concert, contact Louis Bodak at drumdaddy@gmail.com or 704-798-0994.

Livestock judging
Rowan County only had two individuals compete in the N.C. 4-H Livestock Judging Contest, conducted this past week at the N.C. State University Beef Unit in Raleigh. But brothers Garrett and Justin Teeter of Mount Ulla made the most of the opportunity, as Justin was the high overall individual in the contest and Garrett placed 12th overall. Justin placed seventh in beef cattle, third in sheep (tied with Garrett, broken on a tie-breaker), seventh in hogs, won meat goats, and was eighth in oral reasons. Garrett placed third in beef cattle, second in sheep

size of the blood vessels, causing the animal even more difficulty dissipating body heat. Several long-term solutions for endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures include: interseeding with legumes, especially clovers; destroying the stand and re-establishing with endophyte-neutral or endophyte-free tall fescue varieties; avoiding grazing those pastures in the summer and having pastures dedicated to warm season annual or perennial grass species. Shade may or may not be the most comfortable place during the summer heat. Shade along a brushy creek bottom may be swarming with biting flies or not have any wind movement. The usual recommended height for a roof used for shade is at least 10 feet off the ground and metal roofs should be insulated so they don’t cause radiant heating. In any case, shade should be available, so livestock can get out of the direct sunlight. Who’s griping about December temperatures now? By the way, a little rain would be greatly appreciated!

forages with more fiber. Timing of providing feed is also extremely important, as the peak heat load of ruminant digestion is about four hours after feeding. Cattle consume about 70 percent of their feed after midnight and during the early morning hours. Therefore, it makes sense to adjust the amount of feed to fit their consumption schedule or to feed multiple smaller quantities of feed throughout the day. As feed intake declines, it may be necessary to include more supplemental sodium and potassium to compensate for the loss of those nutrients due to sweating and panting. Yes, cattle sweat. It’s another of their adaptations to cool themselves through evaporative heat loss. Access to cool, fresh, clean water is ultra-important to livestock being able to control their body temperature. According to a University of Georgia publication, at 90 degrees, a growing calf or a lactating cow needs two gallons of water per 100 pounds of body weight. A non-lactating cow or bull needs one gallon of water per 100 pounds of body weight. Horses have difficulty maintaining their body temperature in hot, humid conditions. Developed by the University of Kentucky, a “comfort index” calculated by adding together the relative humidity with the temperature is useful for making a decision about riding. A comfort index below 130 should result in few problems, but be very cautious between 130 and 150. Do not ride if the comfort index is above 180. Grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue further intensifies livestock heat stress, as the toxins decrease the

he recent weather makes me think of a song, (singing and/or humming along is appropriate, the lyrics are probably familiar): “Oh the weather outside is frightful, “But the fire is so delightful, “And since we’ve no place to go, “Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!” Yes, “Let It Snow!” is traditionally regarded as a Christmas song, but the weather has been frightful, all right. It’s been blistering dadgum HOT for the past three weeks and the foreBRAD cast is calling JOHNSON for Mother Nature to bless us with more sweltering temps this week. It feels like we’ve been in the fire. I’m ready for some snow! Ironically, the writers of “Let It Snow!” penned this famous tune in Hollywood in July 1945 on one of the hottest days on record. Hot temperatures, especially combined with high humidity, can adversely affect livestock through decreased appetite (decreased performance) and reproductive performance, and may even become life threatening. Animals are usually able to regulate their body temperature to stay within a safe zone. A couple factors affecting body temperature include metabolism (the body’s process of producing heat) and heat of digestion (the digestive process, especially fermentation in the rumen produces heat). Feeding high quality forages to ruminants generates less digestive heat than low quality

N.C. schools may get waiver to cope with bad weather RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina senators are ready to give schools wiggle room to rework their calendars after snow days, while sticking within a schedule demanded by tourism interests. The Senate voted unanimously Thursday for a bill to give school administrators more flexibility to move the required starting and ending dates for the traditional school year. The bill heads to the House. A state law backed by the tourism industry requires schools open no earlier than Aug. 25 and close by June 10. The bill lets a school district open earlier in August

prefer placing the seat on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. Citing that date, McGraw’s opinion suggests that Manchin set a special primary election “at a time which maximizes the opportunity for all potential candidates” and voters. Pending an election, the governor will appoint someone to fill the vacancy. Manchin has said he may run for the seat, but won’t arrange to have himself appointed. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia’s chief elections officer, earlier ruled that Manchin’s appointee to fill the vacancy could keep the seat until 2012. Tennant, Manchin and McGraw are all Democrats, but West Virginia voters overwhelmingly went for Republican John McCain in 2008.

Special election set for Byrd’s Senate seat CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s top lawyer cleared the way Thursday for Gov. Joe Manchin to put a special election for the late Robert C. Byrd’s Senate seat on the November ballot. Attorney General Darrell McGraw, responding to questions posed by Manchin a day earlier, concluded that the governor can declare a special election to fill what remains of Byrd’s term. Manchin sought the legal opinion after joining a growing push to hold a vote earlier than 2012, when Byrd would have faced re-election. Byrd, 92, died last week after more than a half-century in the Senate. He had just over 30 months left in his term. Manchin has said he would
Airlines also canceled more flights in May compared with the month or year before. Carriers canceled 1.2 percent of their scheduled domestic flights during the month, compared with 0.9 percent in May of last year and 0.7 percent this April.

ver on May 26 when severe thunderstorms and hail swept through Colorado. Denver International Airport had 30-to60-minute delays on average that day and limited use of runways. United spokeswoman Jean Medina said all four of the flights were diverted to Colorado Springs where weather caused additional delays. She added that all the customers were given the chance to get off the planes. Thunderstorms are one of the main causes of flight delays because they are difficult for airlines and airport officials to predict. The fifth was a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Dallas-Fort Worth on May 28. That flight sat for two hours in Atlanta when the tarmac was closed for lightning. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said air traffic control denied the pilot’s request to turn back to the gate, and the plane sat on the tarmac for another hour before it ultimately took off. Overall the on-time performance of U.S. carriers declined in May from the same month a year ago. Flights were on-time 79.9 percent of

NEW YORK (AP) — There were five flights stuck on the tarmac for three hours or more in May, the first month under a new rule banning lengthy tarmac delays, the government said Thursday. It will be several weeks to a month before any fines may be levied against the airlines for violations, as the Department of Transportation investigates. The maximum fine is $27,500 per passenger for airlines that do not return their planes to the terminal when they are delayed on the tarmac for three hours or more. There are exceptions for safety and security reasons. Tarmac delays have fallen significantly since the government announced the new rule. While there were five flights stuck for more than three hours in May, that compares with 35 three-hour delays in May 2009. Tarmac delays also dropped in April compared with a year earlier. United Airlines operated four of the five flights that were stuck this May. One of those United flights stayed on the tarmac for almost five hours. All four of the United flights were bound for Den-

Tomato taste test
Bring the outdoors in for summer BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN
Scripps Howard News Service
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
A variety of heirloom tomatoes are available at the Farmers Market, giving buyers plenty to choose from.
Come to Farmers Market Saturday W hen you think of the perfect summer vegetable, the No. 1 choice is the tomato. It’s easily the top vegetable consumed in the United States. With its huge popularity, you would think the tomato would have been here for centuries. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that the tomato gained acceptance as a vegetable. In the 1600s, early explorers brought tomato seed to Europe, Mexico DARRELL Central AmeriBLACKWELDER and ca. Tomatoes are also gaining popularity as a medicinal vegetable. Certain skin diseases seem to heal specific fungal disorders, while lycopene, the substance that gives tomatoes their rich red color, is an antioxidant that reduces the risk for prostate cancer in men. The antioxidant found in tomatoes is also being closely studied as a natural source to reduce
heart disease. July 4th weekend is generally the peak for both commercial and home garden tomato producers in Rowan County. Many vendors at the Farmers Market have a wide selection of fruit. There are so many to choose from that it seems impossible to pick out a certain variety that suits our tastes and needs. There are more than 30 different varieties of tomatoes available for home gardeners and the selection gets bigger each year. Varieties include yellow, pink, canning tomatoes, salad tomatoes, pasta tomatoes, long storage types and even a fall tomato variety that lets you store them during the winter. Cooperative Extension and Master Gardener volunteers will try to help solve some of this mystery by conducting a tomato tasting Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Salisbury Farmers Market, 300 S. Main St. in Salisbury, under the canopy of two, large green tents. If you’re in a quandary when you visit a table full of tomatoes
and wonder what each variety tastes like, this is your chance to taste and vote on the one you like best. Last year, Master Gardener volunteers selected six different types of slicing tomatoes in a blind taste test.

Summertime, and the living is easy. How about bringing some of summertime’s outdoorsy feeling inside? Let’s consider some easy and inexpensive ideas. Of course, fresh flowers always look great in the home. The vase you select can make a big difference in terms of the mood. Formal vases are great, but with the carefree feel of summer, something whimsical might be in order. Consider placing freshly cut flowers in an old-fashioned, tin watering can. Do you have champagne tastes on a beer-bottle budget? Well, don’t throw all your beer bottles away. Keep three or five (remember, odd numbers are always more attractive) and fill them with flowers for a more interesting centerpiece. Bowls filled with fresh fruit are always a welcome sight anytime of the year, and summer invites us to partake of nature’s fruits with more gusto. Choose bowls in colors that complement your decor. These can be inexpensive, too, if you purchase the plastic kind at a home-decorations store. At this time of the year, these bowls can be displayed in abundance and in a variety of summer colors. Sometimes, the bowls themselves are decorative enough that they look great displayed even when all the fruits have been eaten. Since summer is such a casual time of year, consider using colorful paper plates once a week for dinner. It will be festive, fun and easy to clean up. Are white paper plates less expensive? OK, go ahead and use white instead, but at the very least purchase inexpensive colorful napkins. Sometimes, we can add simple accessories to a room that will change the feel. Consider purchasing a birdhouse for indoors. It will bring the outdoors in, and help a room feel like a part of nature. What about those magazines on the cocktail table? Consider purchasing summerinspired reading instead. Your local bookstore will have plenty of interesting subjects.
Master Gardeners planning Retro Flower Show in early August Retro: of or designating the style of an earlier time. That’s what it’s all about. The Rowan County Master Gardener Volunteer Association is sponsoring a Retro Flower Show on Saturday, Aug. 7. The event will be held at the Agricultural Center, 2727 Old Concord Road. With all of the interest in gardening, landscaping and container gardening, the Master Gardeners have gone back in time to develop a venue for all gardeners to showcase their efforts. Using programs and CAROLE guidelines from MASSEY actual flower shows and garden club memorabilia from the ’50s and ’60s when such shows were more commonplace, a show catalog has been developed. The general rules and information outline the format of the show. The show is free and open to the public with adult (20 years of age or older) and youth divisions (10-19 years of age). Exhibitors may make only one entry per class. Additional specimens may be presented for exhibit only. They will not be judged. Entries will be received from
7-10 a.m. on Aug. 7. Judging will take place from 10 a.m.-noon. The show will be open to the public from 1-5 p.m. There are two divisions for entries: division I, artistic – arrangements, and division IIhorticulture-specimens. The artistic division is where the gardeners’ creativity comes through. In the flower shows of old, everyone had a theme. In keeping with the Retro format, the adult theme in Section A is: From the Mountains to the Coast and the five sub-classes reflect the diversity of the state of North Carolina: Class 1. Shifting Sand Class 2. High Rock Lake Class 3. Pines of the Tar Heel State Class 4. Dunn’s Mountain Class 5. Flowers of the Piedmont Section B theme: Celebrations Section C theme: Miniatures (not over 3 inches overall) Section D youth only theme: Dan Nicholas Park Division II-horticulture is the place for the gardener to show off their skills with entries grown by the exhibitor and having been in the exhibitor’s possession for at least three months.

The best of outdoor living Big or small, inexpensive or extravagant, your outdoor living space is an investment toward creating your own personal sanctuary. But it doesn’t have to be overly complicated: just include fire, water and earth. Here are several ways to use these elements to create a cozy openair refuge.
Fire
In a recent national survey, the biggest request for an outdoor room was the outdoor kitchen. Although outdoor kitchens can involve pricey, extensive projects, the idea is to extend your home’s living space into the backyard. So if a built-in gas grill with all the accoutrements isn’t in the budget,
a charcoal grill will cook your meals up nicely. Whether you’re serving a few or dishing a family feast, you can find a variety of stylish outdoor-dining tables and chairs to suit your needs.
Water
The sound of a gurgling fountain is a soothing addition to your backyard oasis. Keep it simple with a tabletop fountain, or get more elaborate with a professionally installed bubbling stream at the patio’s edge. Overhead structures like a gazebo or screened porch provide comfort and protection from rain, giving you more opportunities to spend time outdoors.
Earth
Earthen elements, such as
Got veggies? Show them off
plants, rocks and other natural materials, provide yearround interest. Some elements, like stone paving and rock walls, anchor the space, while others, such as trees, shrubs and flowers, are fleeting and change throughout the seasons. Outdoor furniture can also enhance the earth element by incorporating pieces made with different grains and colors of wood. When selecting furniture for your outdoor room, aim for comfort. Then consider the size; don’t overor under-scale your furniture for the size of the space. Finally, consider durability. Select items of good quality that won’t easily fall apart in the elements.

A ‘great’ idea for the busy kitchen Home and Garden Television
A recent study by Electrolux Group found that the typical family of five spends 175 hours in the kitchen each month, but only 31 hours in the living room. That’s why many homeowners, builders and renovators are now bringing casual family living into the kitchen, creating “kitchen great rooms.” In a well-designed kitchen great room, the kids can do their homework on a computer that also hosts the family’s online calendar, and the fireplace and television can be en-
joyed while parents cook. Speaking of cooking, a kitchen great room allows meal prep to become a true family affair. The best kitchen great rooms bring together a functional kitchen with a comfortable living space. The key to designing a kitchen great room that really serves its purpose is organization, and the best of these multipurpose rooms are created with casual but defined “activity zones,” including: • Cooking and food prep; • Storage and dishwashing; • Informal dining; • Studying, crafts and fam-
ily activities; • Relaxing and enjoying media entertainment. Unity is another important element of successful greatroom design. Repeating elements such as flooring, light fixtures, cabinetry and trim throughout all the activity zones gives a kitchen great room a cohesive look. For many homeowners, combining the kitchen with another existing but littleused room is the best way to create a great room. This may involve knocking out a wall, or even expanding into the garage.

When most people see a bundle of carrots, a stack of tomatoes and a head of spring lettuce, they probably don’t have an overwhelming compulsion to arrange them into a centerpiece, like I do. But when you really look at this harvest of colors, textures and shapes, they are perfect pieces of art just screaming to be showcased in your decor. Got veggies? If so, here’s how to turn them into fun, inventive displays. I’ve decorated with fresh flowers for years. And I’ve been a long-time fan of using fresh and faux fruit in my decor. But I’m a newcomer to the world of decorating with vegetables. Whether you want to create an interesting display for your kitchen island or an unusual centerpiece for your next backyard barbecue, give veggies a try. To style sensationallooking veggie arrangements, all you need is an assortment of containers, like footed glass bowls, compotes, hurricanes and apothecary jars. Then, visit the farmers market to pick up awesome produce. Look for a mix of shapes — from those with long stalks, like celery and carrots, to those that are round and plump, like tomatoes
and eggplants. For today’s examples, we hit the aisles of Green Acres, an organic-food store by Nell Hill’s Briarcliff, in the Kansas City, Mo.-area, and scored an amazing assortment of natural art. Back at Nell Hill’s, we found a simple painted wooden tray to serve as the base of our display, then hunted around the store for a trio of different-sized clear glass containers to hold the veggies. We picked a tall, thin apothecary jar to hold a lovely bunch of baby carrots with greens. First we added small, ripe tomatoes to serve as a base for the arrangement. Next, we mixed in jalapeno peppers to add contrast in color and shape. We finished off by tucking in the carrots, letting the greens flow down the side of the jar. For our second container, we decided to stay with a monochromatic color scheme. Because the veggies we wanted to feature in this grouping were short and mounded, we opted for a shallow, footed bowl that acted more like a pedestal. First to go in is a bunch of spring lettuce. Next, we added

Join Bakeless Fiction
when I am a passenger in a car and the driver is too busy texting to watch the road. My mother came up with a brilliant solution. My parents and another couple were driving to dinner. My mother was in the back seat with her friend. My father has a nasty habit of checking his e-mail on his phone while driving. After several near misses, my mother whipped out her phone and sent my father an e-mail that said, “Stop checking your phone and watch the road.” A couple of seconds later, he very sheepishly put his phone away. — Devoted Daughter Dear Daughter:: Mom saves the day! I love it. Dear Amy: “Frustrated Friend” wrote about her friend, who “after a year of conflict still has not made any solid moves” toward divorce. I can understand how she feels. Until I started having my own marital problems, I thought the same way. Now I see that it is not nearly so easy. It’s a roller coaster of highs and lows, trying to decide whether to save the marriage or divorce. It was the most awful experience of my life. This is truly a time when Frustrated Friend would have to walk a mile in her friend’s shoes to understand what she is going through.

fully, it feels like a great connection. One couple used the house for a family vacation and then came over and planted raspberry starts in our yard. It was perfect. Should I just continue as I have been, expecting nothing but wishing for something? — Well-off But Lonely Dear Lonely: You should not lend out your house as a way to promote a friendship, but as a way to honor a friendship or relationship that already exists. Otherwise, you might as well become a landlord. When you’ve been blessed with bounty, it’s generous to share it. But even if the recipients of your generosity are incapable of actual gratitude, any adult knows (or should know) that thanking someone is a necessity if you want to see the largesse repeated. Let’s start with the people who “thanked” you by asking for more. If they want your house this year you say, “Oh, we never heard from you after the last time you used the house, so I just assumed you didn’t enjoy it. I’m all booked up this year.” Life is too short to spend it behaving like the doormat upon which your guests must tread in order to get to your vacation house. Take your cue from those raspberries sprouting in your yard and become just a little bit prickly.

Ungrateful guests should take a hike Dear Amy: Is there any diplomatic way to suggest to friends (and even family) that they could be more conscientious in acknowledging their gratitude? My husband and I are blessed with good incomes, so we have been generous with family and friends, providing meals, hospitality, paying for vacations and loaning out our vacation home. ASK It’s the AMY loaning of the vacation home that has, at times, caused me pain. We have let people stay there for many days without getting so much as a thankyou note or an entry into the house’s guestbook that lets us know if they enjoyed the visit. Then with little contact, they’ll ask the next year for another week. I loaned the house to one acquaintance, actually hoping that it might lead to our becoming friends. They used the house for three different vacation weeks, and then asked if they could use it for a house party with their friends. I’d have felt fine about it if at least it had led to an invitation to take a walk or to have a cup of coffee together. When someone expresses his or her gratitude thought-
a head of broccoli. The kale lends more dark, rich color and texture. I love the petite leaves of radish greens, which bring a soft playfulness to our arrangement. For a bit of fun, we finished off the arrangement by tucking in green onions, bulb and root side out, because they look like curious little flowers. For our final container, we picked a short, footed crystal bowl to hold a colorful grouping of rotund veggies. We started with a stalk of fennel to give the arrangement some height and movement. Next, we tucked in a few yellow squash for a pop of color. A portly eggplant is the perfect finish for this grouping. Mary Carol Garrity can be reached at marycarol@ nellhills.com.

It could have Stop me before I spend again been worse T
he state has a revised budget, and a lot of essential government programs have been seriously reduced. But if this year looks bad, next year looks worse. The 2011 General Assembly could face a $3 billion budget shortfall even if this year’s revenue matches expectations. Gov. Beverly Perdue signed the $18.958 billion budget June 30, thus officially enacting a $613 million cut on a budget that already includes major cuts. Schools, social programs and prisons all operated at seriously reduced levels during the fiscal year that just ended. Now, they have been cut again. We will employ fewer teachers, and spend less on instructional materials, mentoring new teachers and students with limited English proficiency. There will be fewer school nurses, social workers and replacement schools. Reserves for unexpected engrowth will Those who rollment be razor thin. want less There will be significantly ingovernment home helpless for our will see it, most senior citizens and inlikely in the firm and much less available to help form of needy families with children, or to spend potholes. on the disabled and the mentally ill. Doctors who treat Medicaid patients will be paid less. Some UNC system students will pay higher tuition. Similar cuts are set for other areas of state government. Those who want less government will see it, most likely in the form of potholes. As bad as all of that sounds, it could get worse. If Congress does not extend special Medicaid aid for six months, then as much as $500 million in additional, already defined, state cuts will be made at Christmas. Things would have been much worse last year and this year had Congress not provided North Carolina with billions in aid. This year’s budget is full of references to programs, especially for children, that will be maintained at nearly full levels because of it. That federal aid will expire a year from now. That means the state could need as much as $3 billion in new revenue just to stay where we are today — and where we are today is far below where we were just a few years ago. Unless the economy comes roaring back soon, state government’s ability to restore its essential programs looks dim for years to come.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be) “It is easier to love humanity than to love one’s neighbor.” — Eric Hoffer
Moderately confused
L
ast weekend as America celebrated the 234th anniversary of its independence from Britain, there was a reminder of how increasingly dependent too many Americans have become on our government. The New York Times headline read: “Illinois Stops Paying Its Bills, but Can’t Stop Digging Hole.” The Land of Lincoln has become a land of mounting debt: $5.01 billion to be exact. That CAL may not seem THOMAS like much compared to the growing federal debt — calculated on the National Debt Clock at midday July 4 at $13,189,792,856,331 — but as the late Illinois Republican Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen is reputed (but never proven) to have said, “A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you’re talking real money.” Illinois’ comptroller, Daniel W. Hynes, says the $5.01 billion is what the state owes to schools, rehabilitation centers, child care, the state university and he told the New York Times, “it’s getting worse every single day.” He calls the state’s inability to pay for essential services “obscene.” The real obscenity — in Illinois, California, New York and especially Washington, D.C. — is an inability to live within the means taxpayers provide. Despite record high taxes in these states and more coming at the federal level, government never has enough of our money. But it isn’t all government’s fault. Too many Ameri-
cans have come to rely on government to take care of them, and government has passed the point where it can do so any longer. Politicians, whose sole aim is re-election, behave like enabling parents, giving the children whatever they want hoping for “love” in return, or in this case votes. The obituary of Sen. Robert Byrd, West Virginia Democrat, said he served more time in Congress than anyone else. That, too, is an obscenity. The Founders did not intend public service to become self-service. The definition of “addiction” best describes our increasing reliance on government: “Complete physiological need for and use of a habitforming substance (heroin, nicotine, or alcohol), characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.” Just substitute “government” for the drugs and “psychological” for “physiological” and you have characterized our addiction to government. There are toll-free hotlines for drug addicts who wish to get clean. Who do you call to break free of an addiction to government? Certainly not the politicians; they’re the pushers. This is classic co-dependency. Politicians tell people what they want to hear and voters elect them out of a sense of entitlement to other people’s money. If you are successful and resist, you are called greedy, uncaring and a Republican! This class warfare has enriched the politicians who practice it, but it is impoverishing America. Too many expect too much from government and too little
from themselves. It used to be the other way around, but concepts such as initiative, selfcontrol, frugality, persistence, honor, integrity and virtue went out about the time baby boomers began their cultural counterinsurgency. The reason so few jobs are being created in the private sector (the labor force is shrinking and unemployment is more than 10 percent, if those who have given up looking for work are included) is because government has grown too big and is strangling the private sector which is uncertain about the cost of Obamacare and tax hikes. The progressives want more reliance on government and less self-reliance. But this is not what America needs. Republicans, should they regain a majority in Congress this fall, and the White House in 2012, must have a serious talk with their fellow countrymen. We can’t go on like this. We can’t keep spending and taxing. We must stop asking our country to do more for us and begin doing more for ourselves. Is there a visionary who will say and then do such things, regardless of the political consequences? He (or she) could quote Thomas Jefferson: “To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.” • • • Contact Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.
When hate has a familiar face A
pparently, Mel Gibson is a better actor than anyone knew. He got in touch with his feminine side in the movie “What Women Want,” directed by Nancy Meyers. But he hates women. He famously partnered with Danny Glover and lent his voice to a documentary celebrating African-American military history. But he hates black people. Or so you must conclude if you believe last LEONARD week’s bombPITTS shell from Radar Online, a celebrity gossip website. It reported on July 1 that Gibson’s estranged girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, had taped him in the throes of a profanely and profoundly hateful rant. He reportedly called Grigorieva, with whom he has an infant daughter, a “whore,” a “b----” and a particularly vulgar term that begins with “c.” Then there is this pungent quote: “You look like a f------ pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n----- it will be your fault.” You may think the most damning word in that quote is the N-word. Actually, it’s just before that. After all, only animals hunt in packs. At this writing, it is nearly a week since the story broke and Gibson has yet to deny the authenticity of those words, even as he has come under fire from the NAACP, Gloria Allred and Jesse Jackson. If all this seems familiar, it
is because Gibson made international headlines four years ago when, during a traffic stop for drunken driving, he exploded into a tirade against the “f----- Jews.” I slammed the actor as a bigot, drawing cries of protest from some readers. You shouldn’t be so hard on him, they said. The guy had been drinking. Stuff happens. Mel Gibsons I can only hope those ex-girlfriend readers are said she paying attenrecorded his tion now. profanity-laced People tend tirade. to have this naive notion about hate. They think it’s something you can see at 20 paces, something obvious and over-the-top, like the Nazis that Jack Kirby drew for Marvel Comics; you always knew they were evil from their craggy teeth and bad skin. But hate looks like a grandmother baking cookies, a teacher standing in front of the class, a preacher opening his Bible. It looks like you or me, like anybody anywhere. The philosopher Hannah Arendt famously wrote of what she called the “banality of evil.” Well, there is a banality to hatred, too. We are conditioned to expect a grand, operatic malevolence, but there is nothing grand about it. Hatred is ordinary, hatred is insipid, hatred is small and mean. It is a series of compromises made with conscience, an expedience that by-
passes thought and compassion. It is a sickness and Gibson apparently has it bad. I probably shouldn’t feel sorry for him, but I do. If these accusations are true, he is a troubled man. I hope he gets better soon. But solving the problem will require facing it. And who can say if he will? Consider that back in 2006, when his anti-Semitic outburst was in the headlines, the actor apologized profusely, then said: “Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot.” It was an astonishing statement from a man who had just cursed the “f------ Jews” for causing all the wars in the world. There was in it an echo of the alcoholic in denial, refusing what everyone else knows to be self-evident. It will be interesting to see if Gibson is now done denying. Meanwhile, he has given us all a valuable object lesson. I’ve said this before and it bears repeating: if it is true that those of us who have been hated sometimes have a hair trigger that sees hatred everywhere, it is also true that many of our countrymen who lack that experience have a blind spot that keeps them from seeing it anywhere, even when it is blazingly obvious. So Gibson’s travails remind us: hate isn’t always as obvious as a Jack Kirby Nazi. Sometimes, hate is handsome, familiar and beloved. Indeed, sometimes, hate looks like a movie star. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail lpitts@miamiherald.com.

DOJ fails its duty in Panthers case On June 10, 2010, several television channels informed the public of conduct involving the New Black Panther Party, the Department of Justice and a former career attorney for the DOJ, J. Christian Adams. The television reports carried pictures of several Panthers in black uniforms, one waving a club, in front of a polling station on election day 2008. The reporter had to go between the two when entering the building., They made statements that were not fully audible but are alleged to have said, “black man wins,” a clearly discriminatory remark. Police removed the club-toting Panther but did not remain at the site. Did he return or was he replaced? The Obama Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, received this complaint of voter intimidation. On the complaint’s way to the courts, a strange thing happened; documents disappeared, and the case was dismissed. J. Christian Adams, a former DOJ attorney, believes in equality before the law. He resigned from the DOG and went public. In an interview, he mentioned Loretta King as one of the officials who decided no case existed. This is despite the pictures and statements cited above. I didn’t vote for Obama nor McCain, believing neither qualified to hold the presidency. However, Obama spoke of change and opposing cases of reverse discrimination; this is not what the American population anticipated as change. Until we practice equality before the law, figures such as Al Sharpton and others who use race to cloud issues and encourage dissension will flourish. Remember the Duke University lacrosse case? Many Americans will be injured and denied the legal protection that is the keynote to our constitutional and legal system. The Obama-Holder dismissal of the Panther case may illustrate something about the ObamaWright connection. I hope not. We must punish the wrongdoers and not pander, as some politicians do, to pressure groups such as ACORN. — Arthur Steinberg Salisbury

Lawmakers working overtime in Raleigh to end session RALEIGH (AP) — Hoping to adjourn by the weekend, North Carolina General Assembly leaders sought compromises Thursday on ethics and campaign finance reforms, economic incentives and DNA testing of suspects accused of serious crimes. The House and Senate held allday floor sessions to consider dozens of bills, using recesses to hold committee meetings and work behind the scenes to eliminate differences between the two chambers on competing bills. Lawmakers sent several bills to Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signa-
ture, such as one setting rules so motorists in urban areas can find their cars more easily after they’re towed. Legislators also gave final approval to another measure sought by Perdue, requiring more state monitoring of the way local Alcohol Beverage Control boards run their liquor stores. The bill would also subject board members to a gift ban and conflict-of-interest rules. Legislative leaders wanted to finish for the year by today, but they probably will have to stay until early Saturday to meet parliamentary requirements for some measures, said House Speaker Joe Hackney,
D-Orange. A couple of those bills would expand or extend tax breaks to a host of industries, from moviemakers and digital media companies to computer data centers. Senate leader Marc Basnight, DDare said he wanted to leave today. “I see no reason why that should not occur,” Basnight told Senate colleagues Thursday evening. “If it doesn’t, let’s go home regardless.” Perdue has said the film industry will die in North Carolina without expanded tax credits to make it more competitive. Sen. Clark Jenkins, D-Edgecombe, a Senate Finance
Committee co-chairman, said the changes are needed to attract new jobs and retain current industries. “We’ve got some prospects sitting out there that will come if we give them what we say we’ll give them,” Jenkins said. The lawmakers’ largest hurdle before adjourning is a broad campaign finance, ethics and government reform measure. The House and Senate have approved different bills. Negotiators are trying to reconcile them. “I’m confident that we’re going to come out with a stronger bill,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumber-
land, chief author of the House bill. The chambers differ on how to address concerns that campaign contributions by government vendors can influence contract awards. They also disagree on disclosing the fundraising activities of people who get plum appointments to boards and commissions. The Senate tentatively agreed Thursday to bring North Carolina election law in line with a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing corporations, unions and trade associations to fund campaign ads that endorse or oppose a candidate.

Waters from the Rio Grande threaten bridges Thursday in Laredo, Texas, as heavy rains swamped the area.
Storms swamp U.S., Texas border LAREDO, Texas (AP) — The gentle stream that usually marks the Rio Grande bulged into a mighty river along much of its southern reach Thursday as a rain-packed tropical depression dumped on a Texas-Mexico border region already struggling with flooded homes and evacuations after last week’s hurricane. Authorities in Laredo evacuated several neighborhoods close to the river and a 16-story hotel on the banks as the river grew to 42-feet deep and water began to creep into some homes. The tropical depression-driven rains in Laredo and upstream were expected to keep the water level high for several days, said city spokeswoman Xochitl Mora Garcia. “It’s difficult to describe,” said Jerry W. Archer, manager of Rio Grande Plaza Hotel. He estimated the river was about 15 times its usual size. “I was born and raised on the Mississippi River, but people here are used to just a small stream.” The muddy waters — driven by dam releases upstream and rain-swollen tributaries after last week’s Hurricane Alex — submerged light poles and towering palm trees, leaving only a few fronds waving above the water line. National Guard troops arrived Thursday to help with evacuations, and people in low-lying areas gathered sandbags to protect their homes before being forced to leave. “It’s typically dry everywhere in Laredo — except now,” said Nancy Castillo, who picked up sandbags while her sister prepared to evacuate from her home near a dry creek bed overflowing with water that normally would head into the Rio Grande.
Donations pour in to help Arizona with immigration law PHOENIX (AP) — Retirees and other residents from all over the country were among those who donated nearly $500,000 to help Arizona defend its immigration enforcement law, with most chipping in $100 or less, according to an analysis of documents obtained by the Associated Press. The donations, 88 percent of which came from through the defense fund’s website, surged this week after the federal government sued Tuesday to challenge the law. A document from Gov. Jan Brewer’s office showed that 7,008 of the 9,057 online contributions submitted were made in the days after the government’s filing. Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and nearly 2,000 came from within Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100. The Arizona law includes a requirement that police enforcing another law must investigate the immigration status of people if there is “reasonable suspicion” to believe the people are in the United States illegally. Brewer and other supporters say the law will prompt illegal immigrants to leave the state and that state action was required by a failure of the federal government to secure the border.
the relief well is expected to intercept and penetrate the Deepwater Horizon well pipe about 18,000 feet below sea level within seven to 10 days. But workers won’t know how long it will take to stop the oil until they get there. The gushing well has several concentric rings, and oil could be coming up through multiple rings, Allen said. The plan is to pump heavy mud and then cement into the well to overcome the upward pressure of the huge oil reservoir below.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A white former transit officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter Thursday in the videotaped shooting death of an unarmed black man on an Oakland train platform in an encounter that set off days of rioting in the city. Prosecutors had wanted Johannes Mehserle convicted of murdering 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was shot once in the back as he lay face-down. The jury’s conviction on the lesser charge raised concerns of a repeat of the unrest that followed the shooting on New Year’s Day in 2009. At least five bystanders videotaped the incident in what was among the most racially polarizing cases in California since four Los Angeles officers were acquitted in 1992 in the beating of Rodney King. A crowd near Oakland City Hall moaned and cursed when they heard the verdict. About 500 people, decrying what they called a lack of justice, later marched past police officers in riot gear and businesses that had boarded up windows as a precaution. During a press briefing, Chief Anthony Batts de-
scribed the protest as mostly peaceful and said no arrests had been made, although a small incendiary device had been set off near his department’s downtown station. Anger is directed at the involuntary manslaughter conviction — the lowest offense Mehserle faced. The charge carries a sentence of two to four years, although the judge could add 10 more years because a gun was used in the killing. “My son was murdered! He was murdered! He was murdered,” said Grant’s mother, Wanda Johnson, who earlier stared at jurors when the verdict was read. Mehserle was taken away in handcuffs. The verdict followed a three-week trial in which prosecutors played videos by bystanders, and witnesses recounted hearing the gunshot. Mehserle, 28, testified that he struggled with Grant and saw him digging in his pocket as officers responded to reports of a fight. Fearing Grant may have a weapon, Mehserle said he decided to shock Grant with his Taser but pulled his .40-caliber handgun instead. The trial was moved to Los Angeles because of racial tension and extensive media coverage in Oakland.
GOP chairman says he ‘ain’t goin’ anywhere’ despite gaffe

Antisa Khvichava looks at her birthday cake in a remote mountain village in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
If claim is true, 130-year-old woman is world’s oldest SACHIRE, Georgia (AP) — Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130 Thursday, making her the oldest person on Earth. Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry. The woman, who lives with her 40year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say. “I’ve always been healthy, and I’ve worked all my life — at home and at the farm,” said Khvichava. Sitting in the chair and holding her cane, Khvichava spoke quietly through an interpreter since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian. Her age couldn’t immediately be independently verified. Her birth certificate was lost — one of the great number to have disappeared in the past century amid revolutions and civil war.
Gulf relief well’s success said to depend on location of oil THEODORE, Ala. (AP) — A relief well being drilled deep into the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico to shut down the gushing well could be completed ahead of a long-set deadline of mid-August only if conditions are ideal, government and BP officials said. The relief well is currently the best hope for stopping the oil leak set off by the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which killed 11 workers and began an environmental catastrophe for the region. National Incident Commander and retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — In his first public remarks since his widely condemned comments on Afghanistan, Republican Party chairman Michael Steele said he “ain’t goin’ anywhere” despite calls for his resignation. Steele’s appearance before Colorado Republicans was his first since he came under fire last week from within the GOP for calling the nine-year-old conflict in Afghanistan a mistaken “war of Obama’s choosing.” The gaffe prompted criticism of Steele’s leadership, and some calls to resign. “Every time something happens, people say, ‘Oh, you should STEELE step down. You should step down.’ The reality is, that’s not happening, so stop the noise on that,” Steele told about 100 volunteers and state GOP leaders. Steele added that stepping down from his post is a bad idea with November’s general election just a few months away. “We have too much work to do,” he said. Although he didn’t apologize for his comment, Steele affirmed his support for the war effort and told the crowd he is “foursquare, 1,000 percent with these troops on the ground ... and that should’ve been very, very clear.”
Johnson & Johnson recalls cutting into sales figures TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Sales of Johnson & Johnson pain relievers are collapsing as a string of recalls appears to have made consumers wary of oncesterling brands such as Tylenol and Motrin. An eighth recall, announced Thursday, could worsen consumer reaction. That wariness and the huge amount of products pulled off store shelves together look to be costing J&J tens of millions of dollars a month. Thursday’s recall by Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil consumer health care unit covers 21 lots of products, including Children’s Tylenol. The string of recalls is an embarrassment for a company that set the standard on how to do it correctly when it rushed to pull bottles of Tylenol — deliberately poisoned by someone who was never caught — off store shelves in the early 1980s. This time, the culprit appears to be a lack of internal quality control.

This photo released by CBS3 (KYW-TV) in Philadelphia shows the barge approaching a stalled duck boat before the collision on the Delaware River.
Terror filled stranded duck boat riders as barge approached PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sandy Cohen looked up from the deck of a small, amphibious tourist boat stalled in the river to see a barge towering three stories above and approaching fast, clearly not about to stop. Then came the screams. Over the next few seconds of terror, she and other passengers fumbled to put on life jackets and sought cover as best they could. Next came a crash, the boat flipped over, and 37 people aboard were plunged into the Delaware River. Cohen came to the surface, clinging to the life jacket she had managed to snag seconds before. A Hungarian teenager on the tour was hanging onto the jacket, too. A photo obtained by Philadelphia television stations shows the barge as it rides up on the stern of the sightseeing “duck” boat and starts pushing the vessel underwater. It would sink to the bottom of the Delaware River. Two other Hungarian passengers, part of the same language program as the teenager who shared Cohen’s life jacket, remained missing late Thursday, a day after the accident. The Coast Guard suspended its search for the two Thursday night. The boat had no history
of mechanical problems before it caught fire, said Chris Herschend, president of Ride the Ducks, the Norcross, Ga.based company that owns it. He said the captain appears to have followed all proper procedures during the emergency. The company hopes to raise the boat soon. The crews of both boats tested negative for alcohol. The first sign of trouble came when smoke started to roll out of the boat’s engine as it entered the water, the 67year-old Cohen told the Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday from her home in Durham, N.C. The tour guide told passengers that a tug boat would be on its way to carry them back to shore, Cohen said. She was on the phone with her husband when passengers began screaming. “Someone said, ‘Oh my God, there’s a barge coming, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping,’ ” she said. Another passenger on the duck boat said she heard the captain calling for help — and moments later she was under water. “The last thing I remember hearing was (the duck boat captain) on the radio saying, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa!”’ said Tina Rosebrook, 30, of Davidson, N.C., who was touring Philadelphia’s historic sites with her 10year-old daughter and 12year-old niece.

FROM 1A Firefighters take a break from the heat while battling the blaze on Barber Junction Road.
HEAT FROM 1A Cleveland firefighters remained on the scene until early morning. Described as one of the “major fire events in the county,� Thomason said the size of the fire, fueled by stacks of pallets and the near-record heat, required the large numbers of firefighters to prevent heat exhaustion. The fire burned one building to the ground and gutted a large metal building, leaving only the walls standing.
One of the buildings housed 10,000 to 15,000 pallets that were ready for shipment. In addition to the stacks of pallets, a 1,000-gallon propane tank presented a major problem. Firefighters tried to cool off the tank, which vented gas repeatedly due to the heat from the fire. “When it vented, it sounded like a rocket going off,� Morrison said. The venting sound was easily heard from across U.S. 70, a half mile away. The venting gas ignited and shot plumes of flame into the sky. Craig Myers, one of the

owners of the business, said late Wednesday he hoped to restart pallet production as early as Saturday. The office and other buildings were not damaged. The business is located on both sides of Barber Junction Road. The cause of the fire was still not known Thursday, but Thomason said foul play is not suspected.

N.C. Sen. Andrew Brock, who represents Rowan in the General Assembly, tried to further amend the bill to expand the board and keep Rowan’s three appointments while giving Kannapolis and Salisbury one apiece, but his amendment was defeated.

Local ABC board members could face removal if they misbehave in legislation given the OK by the General Assembly.

Momentum for reform grew after news reports about high salaries of local board administrators and meals paid for by liquor companies to local leaders.

Five & alive for Rowan Allen returns to form BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
In never-give-up fashion, Rowan County’s American Legion team toughed out a series-clinching 8-5 win in Game 5 at Newman Park on Thursday night. Leading the charge for the home team was Thomas Allen, who allowed two runs in six innings before Mooresville tagged him for three in the seventh. Allen had to exit Game 3 earlier than desired because of asthma complications, but he redeemed himself in full in the finale. “I just got used to the heat a little bit more before the game playing a game we call ‘crazy ball’ instead of sitting inside the clubhouse in front of a fan,” Allen said. The series result gives a spark to Rowan, which knows it can overcome great odds to beat a good team. “These guys just never quit and really played good baseball,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “Mooresville is a good team and made it really interesting, but give these guys credit. “They come to the ballpark every night and just do not want to lose.” Mooresville limited the chances for two of Rowan’s most dangerous hitters by twice walking Zach Smith (both intentionally) and Noah Holmes. Smith got one hittable pitch and lasered an eighth-inning fastball from Kyle Altizer over the fence in left field for a solo homer that closed the scoring.

Defending champs overcome 2-0 series deficit BY MIKE LONDON

Rowan County completed a rousing comeback that Rowan 8 almost seemed preMooresville 5 destined Thursday at Newman Park. A sliding Billy Nantz was called out on a bang-bang force play at second base to finish Rowan’s 8-5 victory in a tense Game 5 that ended Mooresville’s season. Nantz may have been safe, but Mooresville was too numb to argue. Third-seeded Mooresville (21-9) was in command after winning the first two games of the second-round
series, including an 11-0 rout in Game 2, but after that things unraveled as they historically have for the Moors against their neighbors. “I think Mooresville thought they had it won after two games,” Rowan left fielder Justin Morris said. “But then we got focused. The last three games we were ready to play.” It’s never a good idea to count out second-seeded Rowan (26-10) when it comes to the postseason. “It’s like it’s just not meant to be for us against them,” Mooresville coach Josh Graham said after Post 66 dropped its 10th straight playoff series with Rowan. “Our boys battled, kept their heads in it all the way, but
we had too many things go wrong.” Graham knew how difficult winning a decisive Game 5 would be at a packed, frenzied Newman Park, where the half-and-half take soared to $691. That’s why he and the Moors poured everything they had, including fireballing reliever Chris Dula, into Game 4 on their home field Wednesday. They came up short. “For us to come back against Dula — that had to deflate them some,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. Both coaches called Rowan right fielder Zach Smith the difference in the series. Smith’s 5-for-5, two-homer effort in Game 3 turned the momentum. His two-run triple against Dula

DENVER — Ubaldo Jimenez had another dominating outRockies 4 ing in his last start of Cardinals 2 the first half of the season. Now, he’s ready to take on the American League’s best. Jimenez became the first pitcher in 10 years to reach 15 wins before the AllStar break and the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Thursday to sweep the three-game series. Jimenez (15-1) is headed to the All-Star Game in Anaheim on Tuesday. The only question is if he gets the starting nod, but the humble Jimenez wasn’t lobbying for the gig. “That’s not a question for me,” he said. “AnyJIMENEZ one would want to start.” Rockies managers Jim Tracy feels his ace has done enough to become the first Rockies pitcher to start the midsummer game. “I don’t know how you can do much better than this man in this clubhouse. The only other choice you could make is the kid in Florida,” said Tracy, referring to Josh Johnson.
swung Game 4. On Thursday, he crushed a homer on a first-pitch fastball in the eighth that let everyone know Rowan was moving on and Mooresville wasn’t. “Zach got one pitch, one chance, and he didn’t miss it,” Gantt said. “What a ballplayer. He was determined to keep playing.” A starter for a Pitt Community College team that finished fourth in the junior college World Series, Smith elected to return to Rowan. “We’ve never had a kid like that, a kid who’s that good, come back from college and play for us,” Graham said.

CHINA GROVE — Carson graduate Breckin Settlemyer’s retirement from volleyball was temporary. Settlemyer — one of nine seniors who helped Carson win 22 games, reach the championship game of the NPC tournament and advance the second round of the 3A state playoffs — signed recently with Catawba Valley Community College. A 6-footer who earned All-NPC and all-county accolades in volleyball and competed in basketball and track, Settlemyer was preparing for life as a normal college student, but her plans changed almost overnight. Brett Huffman, Settlemyer’s friend and a baseball player who is transferring from Catawba to CVCC, pointed out to her that CVCC also has a volleyball team. “I was planning to go to RCCC for the radiography program,” Settlemyer explained. “But Catawba Valley has a radiography program — and volleyball.

Settlemyer contacted CVCC coach Shannon Hudson and was invited for a tryout. “I was a little out of shape, but the tryout went OK and I got to meet the players,” Settlemyer said. “I thought the gym was pretty amazing, not new, but really nice and kept up. Coach Hudson said they needed a middle hitter, and she signed me.”

Cheers, jeers follow decision BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — When the moment finally arrived, Dwyane Wade was as anxious as anyone. His eyes locked toward the television set in a Miami Beach steakhouse, Wade stared at the image of LeBron James, knowing what was coming next would change the shape of the entire NBA. “Miami Heat,” James said. With that, all of South Florida — Wade included — roared with delight. “This is the beginning of new chapter in Heat history,” Wade said. “And very exciting for both fans of the Miami Heat and the NBA.” Well, maybe not everyone found it to be so exciting. James’ decision to join the Miami Heat was received with just about every emotion imaginable, from raucous joy in Miami to deep anguish in Cleveland, where a native son of Ohio won two MVP trophies and was revered like almost no other athlete in the city’s long history. At 9:27 p.m., when James announced his choice, that all changed forever.
In Cleveland, fans burned James’ jerseys, and the team owner sent out a scathing e-mail decrying James’ actions and calling him “our former hero.” In New Jersey, New York and Chicago — three other cities that thought they had done enough to land the two-time MVP — teams started moving to Plan B in this free-agent period like almost none other. But in Miami, it was time to celebrate. “This don’t come around often,” Wade said. “History in the making — but it’ll only become history if we do what we came together to do, and that’s win championships.” Miami entered free agency with hopes of keeping Wade, the MVP of its run to the 2006 NBA title, and then pairing him with either Chris Bosh or James. Heat president Pat Riley found a way to get them all. “We are thrilled that LeBron James and Chris Bosh have decided to come to Miami to join forces with our truly great player, Dwyane Wade,” Riley said. “We are looking forward to the opportunity of building something that our fans in Miami will be proud of for a long, long time.”

JAMES FROM 1B “I can’t say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible,” said James, who wrestled with his decision for weeks. “But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. “Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today.” Add in James, and Miami has a three-headed monster. Sorry, New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Los Angeles and all you other NBA cities who came calling. Hello, South Beach. “It’s going to give me the best opportunity to win,” James said. “We’re going to be a real good team.” That’s not what Cleveland wanted to hear. Fans poured out of the same downtown bars and restaurants that have thrived with James around in frustration moments after the announcement. A few set fire to his No. 23 jersey while others threw rocks at the 10-story-tall billboard featuring James with his head tossed back and arms pointing skyward.
“We Are All Witnesses,” the mural says. This was something Cleveland never thought it would see. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert sent a blistering email decrying James’ actions. “As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier,” Gilbert wrote. “This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his ‘decision’ unlike anything ever ‘witnessed’ in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment. Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us. “The self-declared former ‘King’ will be taking the ‘curse’ with him down south. And until he does ‘right’ by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma. “Just watch.” Olympic teammates four years ago in Beijing, James, Bosh and Wade all helped deliver gold medals while playing for the U.S. This time, the superstars will pursue another gold prize — an NBA trophy — the one Wade got in 2006, the one that James and Bosh have yet to touch. “Winning is a huge thing for me,” said James, who left more than $30 million on the table by not signing with Cleveland.

FRIDAY, JULY 9, 2010 • 3B
ROWAN FROM 1B “Zach coulda played anywhere this summer, but that history and tradition that Rowan County has brought him back to them.” Thomas Allen, knocked out by heat and asthma early in Game 3, surprised everyone by giving Gantt seven innings on the mound. “My velocity really wasn’t there,” Allen said. “But I was locating pretty well.” Mooresville led 2-0 after two innings, but Luke Thomas’ two-out, bases-loaded smash to left off Wes Dumford, who was working on two days rest, tied it in the third. “Pitchers have been freezing me on curveballs, but tonight I was more aggressive and pulled one,” Thomas said. Morris’ RBI double and Noah Holmes’ bases-loaded walk in the fourth made it 4-2. “The plan was to take away Dumford’s changeup and make him throw a strike,” said Morris, who scored three runs out of the No, 9 hole. “Then we were able to jump on some fastballs.” The key inning for Rowan was the fifth. It stretched its lead to 7-2, mostly by not swinging at pitches from lefty reliever Tyler Lewis. Five walks, including an intentional one to Smith, turned into three runs with the help of a passed ball and a wild pitch. “We had a pickoff play that should have gotten us out of that inning, but then we give up three runs that shouldn’t have scored,” Graham said. “We looked dead.” Jake Beaver’s two-run homer and Nantz’s RBI double livened things up considerably in the seventh. Allen, strong in the middle innings, was laboring, but he got the third out of the seventh on a deep flyball off the bat of Nick Keith. Center fielder Will Sapp tracked it down. Lefty Zack Simpson got the Moors out in the eighth with the help of Rowan’s third double play, and Smith’s majestic homer in the bottom half provided a little breathing room. Cody Laws relieved Simpson and got two outs in the ninth, but with two out and two on, Gantt turned to lefty Will Johnson. Nantz greeted the often untouchable Johnson with a single to fill the bases. But Rowan was fortunate to get a Preston Troutman-toHayden Untz forceout at second base on Keith’s bouncer in the hole to end a memorable series. “Losing two to them just made us kind of mad,” Thomas said. “We have pride and wanted to keep playing.”

Rowan first baseman Andy Austin looks to apply a tag on a pickoff attempt against Mooresville.
ALLEN FROM 1B Designated hitter Luke Thomas made the Moors pay for the times they gave Holmes a free pass by lining base hits with runners in scoring position. On top of the strong performance from Allen, Rowan got important relief work from Zack Simpson, Cody Laws and Will Johnson. The trio slammed the door on Mooresville’s season. “We fought through everything we faced and showed a lot of intensity and all came together at the LAWS right time,” center fielder Will Sapp said. “Mooresville is a good team, but we were able to get it done.” Rowan will have a day off and then travel to face Northern Division top seed Western Forsyth. “We are just a team of gamers, and it doesn’t matter who we play, we never want to lose and just want to keep playing,” Allen said. “That’s what Rowan County baseball is all about.”

SETTLEMYER FROM 1B

Breckin Settlemyer, left, sits with coach Shannon Hudson, center, and mother Billie Brown.
Hudson sounds excited about the late addition to what was already a deep recruiting class. “Breckin will be a dominant presence as a middle hitter,” Hudson said. “She’s a hard worker with a great attitude.” Studying radiography means Settlemyer will be preparing for a career in health care rather than preparing to become the host of a radio talk show. She’ll learn how to give MRIs and handle technical equipment. She’ll also get to play for another strong volleyball team. CVCC is a perennial conference, district and regional champion. “I’d almost lost some hope because no one had contacted me about playing by the end of the volleyball season,” Settlemyer. “I really didn’t think I was going to get an opportunity like this.” Like a lot of Rowan volleyball players, Settlemyer got a late start in the sport, so she’s come a long way. “I’d never played volleyball until (former Cougar and current Catawba Indian)

From right:Breckin Settlemyer, Taylor Whitley and Marissa Sellers Mackenzie White got me out there part of the way through my freshman year,” Settlemyer said. “It really became my favorite sport and my best sport.” Carson coach Kelan Rogers said Settlemyer turned in a great senior year for the Cougars. “Breckin has size, and she hits well,” he said. “What surprised me was how emotionally involved she got. She really was one of our emotional leaders out there.” Settlemyer’s college career will start in August. CVCC will be part of a multi-team scrimmage at Brevard on Aug. 21, and it officially opens against Cape Fear CC on Sept. 3.

Goydos fires a 59 Associated Press
SILVIS, Ill. — After four months of pretty lousy play on the PGA Tour, Paul Goydos managed to turn things around a bit — he shot a 59. Out of nowhere. “Today was a nuclear bomb,” Goydos said. “I don’t know where it came from. If I knew that, I wouldn’t be able to touch it.” Perhaps just as amazing, Goydos held only one-stroke lead after an incredible opening round at the John Deere Classic. Defending champion Steve Stricker shot a 60, making for the two lowest scores ever in a single round at a PGA event. And he just missed tying Goydos on the last hole. With the par-71 TPC Deere Run course softened by three days of rain, a lot of golfers were expected to go low. But the fourth 59 in tour history and then a 60 on the same day? “You’re 12 back before you even step on the first tee. That’s tough to swallow,” Stricker said. “That’s why you’ve got to get into a little different thought process and get in your own little world and chip away.” It was the first 59 on the tour since David Duval’s memorable final round helped him win the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. Al Geiberger was the first to shoot 59, in the second round of the 1977 Memphis Classic at Colonial Country Club. Chip Beck shot his 59 in the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational at Sunrise Golf Course. Goydos birdied every hole on the back nine except for No. 15, where he holed a 6-foot par putt to keep a sub60 in sight. He finished off with three birdies, the last one from 7 feet to join the most exclusive club in golf. “It’s almost a mythical number in our game,” Goydos said. “I’ve gone from clubbing a ball in the backyard all the way to the moon, and missed all the steps in between.” Goydos’ 8-under 28 on the back nine matched the lowest nine-hole score in relation to par on the PGA Tour, last achieved by Corey Pavin, who had an 8-under 26 in the first round of the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. OAKMONT, Pa. — Brittany Lang withstood Oakmont’s slick, sun-browned greens and the unrelenting heat to shoot a 2-under 69 and take a one-shot lead over 2008 champ Inbee Park, amateur Kelli Shean and three others in the first round of the U.S. Women’s Open. Cristie Kerr was among a more-than-crowded group of 14 at 1-over 72. For one-time wunderkind Michelle Wie (11-over 82) and returning champion Eun-Hee Ji (6-over 77), it was a day of misery.
NEW YORK — The agent for David Lee says the All-Star forward is heading from the New York Knicks to the Golden State Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal. Mark Bartelstein says Lee will get a six-year, $80 million contract. The Knicks will receive forwards Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike and Ronny Turiaf. DALLAS — Brendan Haywood is coming back to the Mavericks — as the starting center. He agreed to a $55 million, six-year deal. PHOENIX — The Suns locked up one of their top offseason priorities, signing center Channing Frye to a five-year deal. LOS ANGELES — Guard Steve Blake signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wrote a song called “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” If he were a bridge player, it would have been “set the controls for the heart of the contract,” despite its not having quite the same ring. Who has his hands on the controls of today’s deal, the declarer or the defense? South is in four spades, and West leads the diamond king. If you play two-over-one game-forcing with a one-notrump response forcing for one round, you may respond one no-trump with three-card spade support, but should do it only with a very weak responding hand — say, 5-7 high-card points. South seems to have only three losers: two diamonds and one club. Without the diamond lead, he has 11 tricks: five spades, three hearts and three clubs. However, if East grabs the controls, he can defeat the contract (assuming
Acknowledgement and/or rewards that have been previously denied you could be forthcoming in the year ahead. Even if it was a long wait, enjoy the inevitable victory you’ll now receive, and do something memorable with it. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -You could find yourself experiencing some beneficial changes in your material affairs. You’ll have to be alert and on your toes, however, because they’re likely to come from unfamiliar sources. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Everything you experience is likely to seem far more exciting and interesting than usual, making you more experimental. You’ll have fun trying out new things or being with new people. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You could be the first to hear about some very interesting or even juicy information, and you’ll enjoy sharing it with everybody else. It’ll make for a very interesting day. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Although it is your nature to always want to weigh and balance information before acting on it, the speed with which you decide certain issues will have a strong influence on their good outcome. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Your ingenuity and resourcefulness will greatly speed up decisions on important issues, because you’ll be able to think things through very quickly. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Because your words seem to carry so much more weight than usual, you may have to be careful about what comes out of your mouth. Fortunately, you’ll be quick with your thoughts. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Everything is likely to make a quick turnabout, and a matter that has caused you concern looks like it will work out advantageously, instead of being troublesome as you had envisioned. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Even if you can function quite well acting on your own, you could be twice as effective working with a capable partner for a common cause. Don’t hesitate to join up with a buddy. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - When somebody is trying to sell you something or convince you to engage in a particular activity, remember, you’re the one in the catbird seat, not the promoter. Bargain for terms you want. Aries (March 21-April 19) - There’s a strong chance you could meet someone with whom you’ll be establishing a close relationship. Each will be impressed with the other, and shares much in common. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Be logical about what you think or do, but don’t hesitate to listen to your instincts as well. Your perceptions or intuitive insights are likely to be accurate forces just now. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - Spontaneous involvements that occur at this time could turn out to be the most productive or fun things to do, so don’t schedule yourself with something you can’t get out of.

Chronic kidney disease carries dietary restrictions
Set the controls to steer the defense
South has at least two cards in each minor suit). East should overtake the diamond king with his ace, cash the club ace, and return the diamond five. West will win with his queen and give East a club ruff for down one. It should not matter which diamond East leads at trick three (why would he overtake at trick one to cash the club ace if that were not a singleton?), but sending partner a confirmatory suit-preference signal is a good idea. East leads his lowest diamond because he wants West to return the lower-ranking of the other two side-suits: clubs, not hearts. If West fails to give East that club ruff at trick four, East would probably lose control.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. I was shocked when the nephrologist told me this, as I have no symptoms. I decided I would get a second opinion. The second doctor said my first diagnosis was correct and put me on a strict lowsodium, lowphosphorus, low-protein diet with very few things I DR. PETER could eat. I GOTT went back to the first nephrologists, who said, with all the trials done on the kidneys, it was found that I wouldn’t live one day longer on the diet. She said instead to limit my protein somewhat and to watch my sodium. What is your feeling on this strict diet? I’m a 76-year-old woman. I am having surgery soon to provide an access, as it takes six months for it to heal so I can have dialysis. Dear Reader: Chronic kidney disease is the gradual loss of kidney function. Conditions such as diabetes, kidney stones, enlarged prostate, vasculitis and hypertension are often associated with the disorder. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from the blood that are excreted in urine. With chronic kidney failure, waste products cannot be eliminated as readily, resulting in an accumu-
lation in the blood. This causes dangerous chemical imbalances to occur. While there is no cure, treatment can help reduce any complications and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment might begin with controlling the hypertension, taking prescription drugs to lower cholesterol levels, supplementing calcium and vitamin D to protect your bones, diuretics to rid the body of excess fluid buildup or the inclusion of a low-protein diet. A dietician will likely be recommended to review your diet and suggest methods by which your kidneys will not have to work so hard. This might include reducing your salt intake and eating foods lower in potassium. What your first nephrologist recommended was to have you incorporate a diet that would reduce the amount of work required of the kidneys. Protein reduction includes lowering the amount of red meats, eggs and milk products in your diet. It’s not necessary to delete them, but to lessen your consumption. Fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals or breads might act as substitutes. Foods high in potassium include bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. An easy transition might be made to substitute apples, carrots, grapes and green beans. A sodium reduction can be accomplished by avoiding canned soups and vegetables, fast foods, processed luncheon meats, hot dogs, kielbasa, cookies made with tropical oils and countless other products.
Here is where education and label-reading come into play. Progressing to the later stages of the disease, dialysis, of which there are two types, might be recommended. The first is hemodialysis and involves pumping blood out of the body and into a machine that acts as a healthy kidney would. Once the waste is removed, the blood is pumped back into the body. The second type is peritoneal dialysis, which pumps a solution into the abdominal cavity and utilizes the body’s blood vessels to transport the waste products and additional fluids to the abdominal cavity, where the solution absorbs them. That solution is then pumped out of the body, taking the unwanted waste and fluids with it. A final option is kidney transplant from a healthy donor.

Online gambling is a signature away from being banned in North Carolina after the N.C. Legislature passed a bill Wednesday to end computer sweepstakes. If Gov. Beverly Perdue signs the bill, Internet and sweepstakes cafes will be forced to shut down by Dec. 1.

Legislation that would strip Rowan County commissioners of two of the three appointments to the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board was approved by the General Assembly on Thursday and now goes to Gov. Beverly Perdue. The Senate approved the bill on a third reading Wednesday morning, and the House concurred in the afternoon by a vote of 109-0. N.C. Reps. Lorene Coates and Fred Steen, who represent Rowan in the House, could not be reached for comment Thursday. The language changing how appointments are made to the Rowan-Kannapolis board was added by N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell of Cabarrus County to a bill that would reform the state’s Alcohol Beverage Control system. Perdue sought the measure, which requires more state monitoring of the way local ABC boards run their liquor stores. Hartsell’s amendment would give Salisbury and Kannapolis the authority to appoint members to

Firefighters from four counties battling flames at a Cleveland business Wednesday encountered superheated conditions.

NEW YORK (AP) — In the biggest spy swap since the Cold War, 10 confessed Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America were ordered deported Thursday in exchange for four people convicted of betraying Moscow to the West. The agents, many speaking in heavy Russian accents despite having spent years posing as U.S. citizens, pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom, were sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country. U.S. and Russian officials said they would be exchanged for four Russians convicted of spying for the West. The swap carries significant consequences for efforts between Washington and Moscow to repair ties chilled by a deepening atmosphere of suspicion. The 10 U.S. defendants, captured last week in their homes across the Northeast, were accused

One worked for an accounting firm, another was a real-estate agent, another a columnist for a Spanish-language newspaper. Attorney General Eric Holder said the “extraordinary” case took years of work, “and the agreement we reached today provides a successful resolution for the United States and its interests.” White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said on PBS’ “NewsHour” that President Barack Obama was aware of the investigation, the decision to go forward with arrests and the spy swap with Russia.

Solid news on jobs leads to another day of gains on Wall Street NEW YORK (AP) — Investors are getting enthusiastic about stocks again after some reassuring news from the job market. Stocks rose for a third straight day Thursday on the Labor Department’s report of a larger than expected drop in the number of newly laidoff people seeking unemployment benefits. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 121 points after climbing 275 Wednesday and advancing modestly Tuesday. The 4.7 percent gain in that time is the Dow’s best three-day move since mid-May. Employment news has been the key driver behind the market’s moves during the past few weeks. Thursday’s news was a welcome change from a string of disappointing jobs reports, including the government’s June employment numbers, that have pounded stocks recently. The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits dropped last week to their lowest levels since early May. Claims fell to 454,000, better than the 465,000 forecast by economists polled by Thomson Reuters. High unemployment has
hurt consumer confidence, which in turn has slowed spending. And because consumers account for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, the recovery is unlikely to gain much momentum unless consumers are working and feeling more secure about spending. Retailers had mixed news about consumer spending. Several big retailers including those that cater to teenagers reported lackluster June sales. Others including department store operators Macy’s Inc. and JCPenney Co., saw a pickup in business. Overall, merchants said shoppers again spent cautiously, and analysts said stores were discounting heavily in order to bring customers in. American Eagle Outfitters Inc. fell 46 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $11.80 after its June sales disappointed traders. Abercrombie & Fitch rose $2.55, or 7.8 percent, to $35.45. Gap Inc. fell $1.50, or 7.6 percent, to $18.22. The Dow rose 120.71, or 1.2 percent, to 10,138.99. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 9.98, or 0.9 percent, to 1,070.25, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 15.93, or 0.7 percent, to 2,175.40.

tion, decided to meet another day for lunch to talk some more. At first, they developed a friendship, gradually discovering they had similar interests. They went on long walks and biking excursions, took picnics and enjoyed auto shows and shopping. As their relationship deepened, they traveled to the mountains and beach together. Soon, they were going on cruises, including an unforgettable trip to Alaska last year. On their third cruise this April, Gary asked Valerie to marry him, thinking they were perfect for each other. She didn’t hesitate. “I love Gary to death,” Valerie says. “I never thought I’d find anyone like him.”
ONLINE FROM 1A the Internet cafes for things other than online gambling. “It’s good for younger kids, or for those who can’t afford a computer at home,” Moss said. “There were two girls here the other night doing research for a paper they were writing. “I use it for playing my Facebook games.” Moss questioned why state lawmakers would close the cafes if they were really concerned about people. “What about jobs?” he asked. “Is the unemployment rate not high enough for them?” Moss, a disabled veteran, visits the Employment Security Commission almost every day, and then visits the Internet cafe on South Main Street. He said the games are relaxing to him and many others, and there is never any cursing or ill will by patrons. “This place does more good than harm,” he said. “I was computer illiterate before I came to these places. I learned to operate the keyboard, check my e-mail, a lot of good stuff. “You’re taking a good tool away from the community. It’s a safe, clean environment.” One frequent visitor to D&D.Net off of Jake Alexander Boulevard said online gambling has its negatives. She didn’t want her name used, but said, “It is addicting, and people get hurt. People come in and try to win off that (free) dollar. People take their last $5 and try to win, and some play with their paychecks — and they lose it. It’s sad.” She said the problem with the state bill was that people can still gamble online with their credit cards at home, and it is no different than playing the lottery. “It’s not any worse than smoking crack,” she said.

The economy is crazy.” Vermell Kenner, another regular at D&D.Net, only comes in to use the Internet. “I don’t think they should close them,” he said. “I look forward to coming here to use the Internet. You can mingle with people. It’s a good time.” Devonte Peterson, part owner of a sweepstakes cafe, the Business Center on Jake Alexander Boulevard, opened the facility in November. He plans to relocate to a state that allows online gambling. “There’s not too much you can do as of Dec. 1,” he said. “I’ve met a lot of people in the business — people that have been in the industry their whole lives — so we’ve learned a lot.” Peterson, who has family in Virginia and Ohio, said he will most likely be moving to one of those states. “We were here from the ground up,” he said. “It’s a pretty big investment.

About the only things Gary and Valerie don’t have in common are their ages and professional football allegiances. Valerie, 41, is a Dallas Cowboys fan; Gary, 57, flies the Washington Redskins’ colors. Gary has a fondness for restoring old Chevy pickups. In his shop these days, he has torn apart a 1968 C-10. Valerie tends to visit him a lot in the shop, when she’s not taking a nap in the shade-tree hammock out front. Gary gives her a lot of grief about those naps. A former truck driver and paint-and-body repair man, Gary has been with Rowan-Salisbury Schools’ transportation department for 13 years. From his previous marriage, he has two grown daughters, Jessica and Kendra. Valerie is still a full-time school bus driver, running routes for both South Rowan High and Henderson Independent High. Her marriage to Gary also will be her second. Besides her daughter, Stephanie, she has a younger son, 15-year-old Hunter, who will give her away on the July 18 wedding day. Valerie also has a 4-yearold granddaughter, Riley Nicole, who was born just six weeks after Rodney died. The little girl carries the same initials, R.N., as her late uncle.

“But it’s good recreational use,” he said. “And we’re just a minority-owned business trying to make a living.” Phillip Bradshaw is part owner of South Main Internet, and he said he will close his doors the last day in November after the bill becomes a law. “I don’t agree with the law,” he said. “It’s no different than playing the lottery, going to Cherokee, or playing Bingo. “They’re just picking on us because the state doesn’t get anything from us.” Bradshaw said he will hate to lay off his employees, and hopes everyone can find a job quickly. “The state doesn’t seem to care about people losing their jobs,” he said. “But you can’t fight big government.” Bradshaw said the cafes are good for communities, and offering services for people who may not have Internet access. “There are people that come in, surf the Internet, pay bills, get on Facebook or Twitter, and some come in and play the sweepstakes,” he said. “It’s all types of people. Just like all types of people who play the lottery, or go to Walmart. “It’s a safe place for people to come and have a good time.” The city of Salisbury recently approved a $500 per machine tax for sweepstakes cafes and will be collecting that within the next month, despite the bill. The town of Spencer is currently collecting a $100 per machine tax for its cafes. Neither budgeted the projected revenue from the tax into budgets, but officials from both agreed the extra income would be welcomed.
“You get robbed, spending all your money, and you do it again. I don’t think you ever come out ahead.” She said the advice she gives anyone who hasn’t tried online gambling is to never start, and that once you do, it sort of becomes a secret life. “You don’t want people to know you are here,” she said. “If you are playing and your phone rings, you might say you’re at the grocery store. You don’t want people to know.” Chris Robinson of Salisbury is also a fan of D&D.Net, and said he visits the shop every day. “I’ll find something else to do,” he said. “Another way to use my money.” Charlette Robbins, a fulltime employee of D&D.Net, said that once Dec. 1 rolls around, she’ll lose a lot of friends and will have to get back into the unemployment pool. “I liked meeting all the people and seeing all of the new faces,” she said, “and of course, the money.” Robbins said she doesn’t see a problem in online gambling, despite never gambling herself and working at a sweepstakes cafe. “I think it’s a good thing because most of the customers know how much they can spend, and it’s relaxing to them,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a problem.” Robbins will hate to lose

Faithful Friends to break ground on new shelter

THE GREAT BULLHOLE RACE
B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
A few years ago, a group of animal lovers gathered for a common effort — to build a nokill animal sanctuary in Rowan County. This weekend the dreams of those few will unfold as Faithful Friends Animal Sanctuary breaks ground at the site of their shelter. The event, is Saturday at 10 a.m., 220 Grace Church Road. “We want people to come celebrate with us. We’ve also invited lots of people,” said President Mary Padavick. She said more than 1,300 invitations were sent out. Many of those expected to attend are the volunteers and individuals in the community who held bake sales, yard sales, recycled cans, hosted events and made contributions. Dr. Albert Aymer, president of Hood Theological Seminary, will say a blessing of the land and animals. Founder Anne Ingram will also attend, as will board members. The nonprofit has also chosen Summit Developers of Salisbury to build the animal sanctuary. “The board looked at a lot of factors. It wasn’t an easy decision,” Padavick said. The decision was in part based on cost, references and how close Summit Developers came to building what the organization envisioned for their building. Grading started at the site June 30 and framing, roofing and other structural materials should be in place by winter. “By December or January that’s when the visual stuff happens,” she said. The proposed completion date is March 2011. As with most construction projects, if the weather permits, the project may be completed sooner. Just because construction will begin, Padavick said there is still a need to continue fundraising. “Our dream is to have the building paid in full when the doors open,” she said. So far $585,000 has been raised. The cost to build is $752,000. “We want to raise enough to pay for the building and have operation money,” Padavick said. No donation is too small, she said.

Jamie ONeal dumps nearly 800 ducks in the river near the little rapids below the dam. The Bullhole turned bright yellow Saturday as nearly 800 rubber ducks took to the waters of the South Yadkin River for the first Great Bullhole Duck Race. The event was a fundraiser for the RiverPark at Cooleemee Falls — commonly known as the Bullhole. Net proceeds were nearly $2,000, all of which will go for park upkeep in the coming year, organizers said. The event drew about 300 people who cheered on the ducks as they were dumped into the river below the dam then made a swift ride down the “little rapids” and floated to the finish line halfway to what remains of an old bridge. Gracia Littauer of Cooleemee won the $250 first prize; Dr. Vance Merhoff of Salisbury won the $100 second prize; and Lauren Smith of Davidson County placed third for $50 in cash. RiverPark’s Duck Race teams included many children, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren of Leon and Frances O’Neal of Cooleemee. “We practically raised them at the river,” said Leon O’Neal, who, according to many, has the greatest store of knowledge about fish, wildlife and natural environment there.

Several fire departments responded to a house fire on Menius Road Thursday afternoon The fire occurred about 4:30 p.m. at 315 Menius Road, just down the road from Bostian Heights Fire Department. Neighbor Pamela Gibson said she saw smoke coming from the roof and called the property owner. “I called our landlord and told her I saw smoke,” Gibson said. Jeremy Hughes, 18, and his mother, Melinda, were inside the one-level brick home when the fire began. Gibson said she didn’t have her neighbor’s phone number so the landlord called the Hughes family, who were able to get out of the house unharmed. Jeremy Hughes said he and his mother have lived at the home for about eight years. While firefighters put out hot spots, Hughes sat cradling the family’s pet fawn, which was inside a chicken coop in the front of the home. Bostian Heights Fire Chief Mike Zimmerman said when officials arrived fire was inside the attic and on the back side of the house near the porch. In addition to Bostian Heights, China Grove, South Salisbury, Rockwell Rural, Landis, Faith, Locke fire departments and Rowan Rescue Squad also responded.

Police seek drive-by shooting identities Salisbury Police are working to identify two passengers in a vehicle involved in a drive-by shooting early Tuesday morning near the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Castlewood Drive. A Charlotte Observer carrier told police she noticed a silver Chrysler Sebring following her in the area of Harris Teeter on Jake Alexander Boulevard. The vehicle continued to follow her down Jake Alexander toward Interstate 85. As she approached the intersection of Jake Alexander and Castlewood Drive shortly before 1:45 a.m., the vehicle pulled alongside, and one of the occupants fired multiple shots. Four bullets struck the woman’s car, but she was not injured. Police spotted the Sebring and gave chase. The car wrecked near the intersection of Confederate Avenue and West Henderson Streets.
The occupants fled on foot. Police arrested Jerod Angle, 20, of 6480 Hackenberry Court Trail, Charlotte, a short time later after he reported his vehicle, the wrecked silver Sebring, as stolen. Angle has been charged with discharging a firearm into occupied property, speeding to elude arrest and resisting arrest. He is being held in the Rowan County Detention Center under $45,000 bond. Police have not identified the shooter. Chief Rory Collins said police are working to identify the other two Sebring occupants and they will face the same charges as Angle. Police are also working to determine the motive — whether it was an attempted robbery, a case of mistaken identity or some other reason. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.

spotts@salisburypost.com
Area bands are joining forces to raise money for two Kannapolis families who’ve been affected by tragic loss. Organizer Louis Bodak felt the call to help Amber Lewis, whose husband, Chris, died in a head-on collision in April, and Lynette Richardson, who lost her husband to kidney failure. Both families live in Kannapolis and have three children. Richardson has a son going into college. The money would help with expenses, he said. Bodak worked with Chris Lewis and still works with Richardson at Home Depot. “I felt I needed to do it. It’s getting people together to help other people out,” Bodak said. The event, a benefit concert, is being organized by BAND-IT, an online social networking site that Bodak started as a way to promote this and other similar events. The concert is from 3 p.m.-8 p.m., Sunday, at Moose Lodge Family Center, 990 Old Beatty Ford Road, China Grove. There will be a raffle that will include a one night stay at a bed and breakfast in Waynesville and a Richard Petty NASCAR driving experience. Tickets to the event are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and younger. Raffle tickets are five for $5. The money collected at the door and from the raffle will go to the Lewis and Richardson families. The event will feature

No9Coal is a bluegrass band while Jubal Kane is based in Concord, some of its members are from Charlotte. “We have the musicians who will do it. They are donating their talent and time,” Bodak said. Amber Lewis said she was surprised when she found out Bodak was planning this event. She found out from some Home Depot employees and was later contacted by Bodak. “I was pleasantly surprised that they thought enough of Chris to do that,” she said. Lewis said she plans to attend. “I’m very excited. For them just to do this for my husband is amazing,” Lewis said. She hopes that people will attend and hear the bands. Bodak is also petitioning for people to vote for Lewis on a website for Pigeon Forge, which helps families in need. People go on the site and vote for a family that can have their car payments made for a year or their mortgage paid for a year up to $15,000. Bodak is asking for people to vote for Amber at http://www.mypigeonforge.com /savingvacations. For more information about the concert, contact Louis Bodak at drumdaddy@gmail.com or 704-798-0994.

Livestock judging
Rowan County only had two individuals compete in the N.C. 4-H Livestock Judging Contest, conducted this past week at the N.C. State University Beef Unit in Raleigh. But brothers Garrett and Justin Teeter of Mount Ulla made the most of the opportunity, as Justin was the high overall individual in the contest and Garrett placed 12th overall. Justin placed seventh in beef cattle, third in sheep (tied with Garrett, broken on a tie-breaker), seventh in hogs, won meat goats, and was eighth in oral reasons. Garrett placed third in beef cattle, second in sheep

size of the blood vessels, causing the animal even more difficulty dissipating body heat. Several long-term solutions for endophyte-infected tall fescue pastures include: interseeding with legumes, especially clovers; destroying the stand and re-establishing with endophyte-neutral or endophyte-free tall fescue varieties; avoiding grazing those pastures in the summer and having pastures dedicated to warm season annual or perennial grass species. Shade may or may not be the most comfortable place during the summer heat. Shade along a brushy creek bottom may be swarming with biting flies or not have any wind movement. The usual recommended height for a roof used for shade is at least 10 feet off the ground and metal roofs should be insulated so they don’t cause radiant heating. In any case, shade should be available, so livestock can get out of the direct sunlight. Who’s griping about December temperatures now? By the way, a little rain would be greatly appreciated!

forages with more fiber. Timing of providing feed is also extremely important, as the peak heat load of ruminant digestion is about four hours after feeding. Cattle consume about 70 percent of their feed after midnight and during the early morning hours. Therefore, it makes sense to adjust the amount of feed to fit their consumption schedule or to feed multiple smaller quantities of feed throughout the day. As feed intake declines, it may be necessary to include more supplemental sodium and potassium to compensate for the loss of those nutrients due to sweating and panting. Yes, cattle sweat. It’s another of their adaptations to cool themselves through evaporative heat loss. Access to cool, fresh, clean water is ultra-important to livestock being able to control their body temperature. According to a University of Georgia publication, at 90 degrees, a growing calf or a lactating cow needs two gallons of water per 100 pounds of body weight. A non-lactating cow or bull needs one gallon of water per 100 pounds of body weight. Horses have difficulty maintaining their body temperature in hot, humid conditions. Developed by the University of Kentucky, a “comfort index” calculated by adding together the relative humidity with the temperature is useful for making a decision about riding. A comfort index below 130 should result in few problems, but be very cautious between 130 and 150. Do not ride if the comfort index is above 180. Grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue further intensifies livestock heat stress, as the toxins decrease the

he recent weather makes me think of a song, (singing and/or humming along is appropriate, the lyrics are probably familiar): “Oh the weather outside is frightful, “But the fire is so delightful, “And since we’ve no place to go, “Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!” Yes, “Let It Snow!” is traditionally regarded as a Christmas song, but the weather has been frightful, all right. It’s been blistering dadgum HOT for the past three weeks and the foreBRAD cast is calling JOHNSON for Mother Nature to bless us with more sweltering temps this week. It feels like we’ve been in the fire. I’m ready for some snow! Ironically, the writers of “Let It Snow!” penned this famous tune in Hollywood in July 1945 on one of the hottest days on record. Hot temperatures, especially combined with high humidity, can adversely affect livestock through decreased appetite (decreased performance) and reproductive performance, and may even become life threatening. Animals are usually able to regulate their body temperature to stay within a safe zone. A couple factors affecting body temperature include metabolism (the body’s process of producing heat) and heat of digestion (the digestive process, especially fermentation in the rumen produces heat). Feeding high quality forages to ruminants generates less digestive heat than low quality

N.C. schools may get waiver to cope with bad weather RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina senators are ready to give schools wiggle room to rework their calendars after snow days, while sticking within a schedule demanded by tourism interests. The Senate voted unanimously Thursday for a bill to give school administrators more flexibility to move the required starting and ending dates for the traditional school year. The bill heads to the House. A state law backed by the tourism industry requires schools open no earlier than Aug. 25 and close by June 10. The bill lets a school district open earlier in August

prefer placing the seat on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. Citing that date, McGraw’s opinion suggests that Manchin set a special primary election “at a time which maximizes the opportunity for all potential candidates” and voters. Pending an election, the governor will appoint someone to fill the vacancy. Manchin has said he may run for the seat, but won’t arrange to have himself appointed. Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia’s chief elections officer, earlier ruled that Manchin’s appointee to fill the vacancy could keep the seat until 2012. Tennant, Manchin and McGraw are all Democrats, but West Virginia voters overwhelmingly went for Republican John McCain in 2008.

Special election set for Byrd’s Senate seat CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia’s top lawyer cleared the way Thursday for Gov. Joe Manchin to put a special election for the late Robert C. Byrd’s Senate seat on the November ballot. Attorney General Darrell McGraw, responding to questions posed by Manchin a day earlier, concluded that the governor can declare a special election to fill what remains of Byrd’s term. Manchin sought the legal opinion after joining a growing push to hold a vote earlier than 2012, when Byrd would have faced re-election. Byrd, 92, died last week after more than a half-century in the Senate. He had just over 30 months left in his term. Manchin has said he would
Airlines also canceled more flights in May compared with the month or year before. Carriers canceled 1.2 percent of their scheduled domestic flights during the month, compared with 0.9 percent in May of last year and 0.7 percent this April.

ver on May 26 when severe thunderstorms and hail swept through Colorado. Denver International Airport had 30-to60-minute delays on average that day and limited use of runways. United spokeswoman Jean Medina said all four of the flights were diverted to Colorado Springs where weather caused additional delays. She added that all the customers were given the chance to get off the planes. Thunderstorms are one of the main causes of flight delays because they are difficult for airlines and airport officials to predict. The fifth was a Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Dallas-Fort Worth on May 28. That flight sat for two hours in Atlanta when the tarmac was closed for lightning. Delta spokesman Anthony Black said air traffic control denied the pilot’s request to turn back to the gate, and the plane sat on the tarmac for another hour before it ultimately took off. Overall the on-time performance of U.S. carriers declined in May from the same month a year ago. Flights were on-time 79.9 percent of

NEW YORK (AP) — There were five flights stuck on the tarmac for three hours or more in May, the first month under a new rule banning lengthy tarmac delays, the government said Thursday. It will be several weeks to a month before any fines may be levied against the airlines for violations, as the Department of Transportation investigates. The maximum fine is $27,500 per passenger for airlines that do not return their planes to the terminal when they are delayed on the tarmac for three hours or more. There are exceptions for safety and security reasons. Tarmac delays have fallen significantly since the government announced the new rule. While there were five flights stuck for more than three hours in May, that compares with 35 three-hour delays in May 2009. Tarmac delays also dropped in April compared with a year earlier. United Airlines operated four of the five flights that were stuck this May. One of those United flights stayed on the tarmac for almost five hours. All four of the United flights were bound for Den-

Tomato taste test
Bring the outdoors in for summer BY ROSEMARY SADEZ FRIEDMANN
Scripps Howard News Service
DARRELL BLACKWELDER/FOR THE SALISBURY POST
A variety of heirloom tomatoes are available at the Farmers Market, giving buyers plenty to choose from.
Come to Farmers Market Saturday W hen you think of the perfect summer vegetable, the No. 1 choice is the tomato. It’s easily the top vegetable consumed in the United States. With its huge popularity, you would think the tomato would have been here for centuries. But it wasn’t until the 1800s that the tomato gained acceptance as a vegetable. In the 1600s, early explorers brought tomato seed to Europe, Mexico DARRELL Central AmeriBLACKWELDER and ca. Tomatoes are also gaining popularity as a medicinal vegetable. Certain skin diseases seem to heal specific fungal disorders, while lycopene, the substance that gives tomatoes their rich red color, is an antioxidant that reduces the risk for prostate cancer in men. The antioxidant found in tomatoes is also being closely studied as a natural source to reduce
heart disease. July 4th weekend is generally the peak for both commercial and home garden tomato producers in Rowan County. Many vendors at the Farmers Market have a wide selection of fruit. There are so many to choose from that it seems impossible to pick out a certain variety that suits our tastes and needs. There are more than 30 different varieties of tomatoes available for home gardeners and the selection gets bigger each year. Varieties include yellow, pink, canning tomatoes, salad tomatoes, pasta tomatoes, long storage types and even a fall tomato variety that lets you store them during the winter. Cooperative Extension and Master Gardener volunteers will try to help solve some of this mystery by conducting a tomato tasting Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Salisbury Farmers Market, 300 S. Main St. in Salisbury, under the canopy of two, large green tents. If you’re in a quandary when you visit a table full of tomatoes
and wonder what each variety tastes like, this is your chance to taste and vote on the one you like best. Last year, Master Gardener volunteers selected six different types of slicing tomatoes in a blind taste test.

Summertime, and the living is easy. How about bringing some of summertime’s outdoorsy feeling inside? Let’s consider some easy and inexpensive ideas. Of course, fresh flowers always look great in the home. The vase you select can make a big difference in terms of the mood. Formal vases are great, but with the carefree feel of summer, something whimsical might be in order. Consider placing freshly cut flowers in an old-fashioned, tin watering can. Do you have champagne tastes on a beer-bottle budget? Well, don’t throw all your beer bottles away. Keep three or five (remember, odd numbers are always more attractive) and fill them with flowers for a more interesting centerpiece. Bowls filled with fresh fruit are always a welcome sight anytime of the year, and summer invites us to partake of nature’s fruits with more gusto. Choose bowls in colors that complement your decor. These can be inexpensive, too, if you purchase the plastic kind at a home-decorations store. At this time of the year, these bowls can be displayed in abundance and in a variety of summer colors. Sometimes, the bowls themselves are decorative enough that they look great displayed even when all the fruits have been eaten. Since summer is such a casual time of year, consider using colorful paper plates once a week for dinner. It will be festive, fun and easy to clean up. Are white paper plates less expensive? OK, go ahead and use white instead, but at the very least purchase inexpensive colorful napkins. Sometimes, we can add simple accessories to a room that will change the feel. Consider purchasing a birdhouse for indoors. It will bring the outdoors in, and help a room feel like a part of nature. What about those magazines on the cocktail table? Consider purchasing summerinspired reading instead. Your local bookstore will have plenty of interesting subjects.
Master Gardeners planning Retro Flower Show in early August Retro: of or designating the style of an earlier time. That’s what it’s all about. The Rowan County Master Gardener Volunteer Association is sponsoring a Retro Flower Show on Saturday, Aug. 7. The event will be held at the Agricultural Center, 2727 Old Concord Road. With all of the interest in gardening, landscaping and container gardening, the Master Gardeners have gone back in time to develop a venue for all gardeners to showcase their efforts. Using programs and CAROLE guidelines from MASSEY actual flower shows and garden club memorabilia from the ’50s and ’60s when such shows were more commonplace, a show catalog has been developed. The general rules and information outline the format of the show. The show is free and open to the public with adult (20 years of age or older) and youth divisions (10-19 years of age). Exhibitors may make only one entry per class. Additional specimens may be presented for exhibit only. They will not be judged. Entries will be received from
7-10 a.m. on Aug. 7. Judging will take place from 10 a.m.-noon. The show will be open to the public from 1-5 p.m. There are two divisions for entries: division I, artistic – arrangements, and division IIhorticulture-specimens. The artistic division is where the gardeners’ creativity comes through. In the flower shows of old, everyone had a theme. In keeping with the Retro format, the adult theme in Section A is: From the Mountains to the Coast and the five sub-classes reflect the diversity of the state of North Carolina: Class 1. Shifting Sand Class 2. High Rock Lake Class 3. Pines of the Tar Heel State Class 4. Dunn’s Mountain Class 5. Flowers of the Piedmont Section B theme: Celebrations Section C theme: Miniatures (not over 3 inches overall) Section D youth only theme: Dan Nicholas Park Division II-horticulture is the place for the gardener to show off their skills with entries grown by the exhibitor and having been in the exhibitor’s possession for at least three months.

The best of outdoor living Big or small, inexpensive or extravagant, your outdoor living space is an investment toward creating your own personal sanctuary. But it doesn’t have to be overly complicated: just include fire, water and earth. Here are several ways to use these elements to create a cozy openair refuge.
Fire
In a recent national survey, the biggest request for an outdoor room was the outdoor kitchen. Although outdoor kitchens can involve pricey, extensive projects, the idea is to extend your home’s living space into the backyard. So if a built-in gas grill with all the accoutrements isn’t in the budget,
a charcoal grill will cook your meals up nicely. Whether you’re serving a few or dishing a family feast, you can find a variety of stylish outdoor-dining tables and chairs to suit your needs.
Water
The sound of a gurgling fountain is a soothing addition to your backyard oasis. Keep it simple with a tabletop fountain, or get more elaborate with a professionally installed bubbling stream at the patio’s edge. Overhead structures like a gazebo or screened porch provide comfort and protection from rain, giving you more opportunities to spend time outdoors.
Earth
Earthen elements, such as
Got veggies? Show them off
plants, rocks and other natural materials, provide yearround interest. Some elements, like stone paving and rock walls, anchor the space, while others, such as trees, shrubs and flowers, are fleeting and change throughout the seasons. Outdoor furniture can also enhance the earth element by incorporating pieces made with different grains and colors of wood. When selecting furniture for your outdoor room, aim for comfort. Then consider the size; don’t overor under-scale your furniture for the size of the space. Finally, consider durability. Select items of good quality that won’t easily fall apart in the elements.

A ‘great’ idea for the busy kitchen Home and Garden Television
A recent study by Electrolux Group found that the typical family of five spends 175 hours in the kitchen each month, but only 31 hours in the living room. That’s why many homeowners, builders and renovators are now bringing casual family living into the kitchen, creating “kitchen great rooms.” In a well-designed kitchen great room, the kids can do their homework on a computer that also hosts the family’s online calendar, and the fireplace and television can be en-
joyed while parents cook. Speaking of cooking, a kitchen great room allows meal prep to become a true family affair. The best kitchen great rooms bring together a functional kitchen with a comfortable living space. The key to designing a kitchen great room that really serves its purpose is organization, and the best of these multipurpose rooms are created with casual but defined “activity zones,” including: • Cooking and food prep; • Storage and dishwashing; • Informal dining; • Studying, crafts and fam-
ily activities; • Relaxing and enjoying media entertainment. Unity is another important element of successful greatroom design. Repeating elements such as flooring, light fixtures, cabinetry and trim throughout all the activity zones gives a kitchen great room a cohesive look. For many homeowners, combining the kitchen with another existing but littleused room is the best way to create a great room. This may involve knocking out a wall, or even expanding into the garage.

When most people see a bundle of carrots, a stack of tomatoes and a head of spring lettuce, they probably don’t have an overwhelming compulsion to arrange them into a centerpiece, like I do. But when you really look at this harvest of colors, textures and shapes, they are perfect pieces of art just screaming to be showcased in your decor. Got veggies? If so, here’s how to turn them into fun, inventive displays. I’ve decorated with fresh flowers for years. And I’ve been a long-time fan of using fresh and faux fruit in my decor. But I’m a newcomer to the world of decorating with vegetables. Whether you want to create an interesting display for your kitchen island or an unusual centerpiece for your next backyard barbecue, give veggies a try. To style sensationallooking veggie arrangements, all you need is an assortment of containers, like footed glass bowls, compotes, hurricanes and apothecary jars. Then, visit the farmers market to pick up awesome produce. Look for a mix of shapes — from those with long stalks, like celery and carrots, to those that are round and plump, like tomatoes
and eggplants. For today’s examples, we hit the aisles of Green Acres, an organic-food store by Nell Hill’s Briarcliff, in the Kansas City, Mo.-area, and scored an amazing assortment of natural art. Back at Nell Hill’s, we found a simple painted wooden tray to serve as the base of our display, then hunted around the store for a trio of different-sized clear glass containers to hold the veggies. We picked a tall, thin apothecary jar to hold a lovely bunch of baby carrots with greens. First we added small, ripe tomatoes to serve as a base for the arrangement. Next, we mixed in jalapeno peppers to add contrast in color and shape. We finished off by tucking in the carrots, letting the greens flow down the side of the jar. For our second container, we decided to stay with a monochromatic color scheme. Because the veggies we wanted to feature in this grouping were short and mounded, we opted for a shallow, footed bowl that acted more like a pedestal. First to go in is a bunch of spring lettuce. Next, we added

Join Bakeless Fiction
when I am a passenger in a car and the driver is too busy texting to watch the road. My mother came up with a brilliant solution. My parents and another couple were driving to dinner. My mother was in the back seat with her friend. My father has a nasty habit of checking his e-mail on his phone while driving. After several near misses, my mother whipped out her phone and sent my father an e-mail that said, “Stop checking your phone and watch the road.” A couple of seconds later, he very sheepishly put his phone away. — Devoted Daughter Dear Daughter:: Mom saves the day! I love it. Dear Amy: “Frustrated Friend” wrote about her friend, who “after a year of conflict still has not made any solid moves” toward divorce. I can understand how she feels. Until I started having my own marital problems, I thought the same way. Now I see that it is not nearly so easy. It’s a roller coaster of highs and lows, trying to decide whether to save the marriage or divorce. It was the most awful experience of my life. This is truly a time when Frustrated Friend would have to walk a mile in her friend’s shoes to understand what she is going through.

fully, it feels like a great connection. One couple used the house for a family vacation and then came over and planted raspberry starts in our yard. It was perfect. Should I just continue as I have been, expecting nothing but wishing for something? — Well-off But Lonely Dear Lonely: You should not lend out your house as a way to promote a friendship, but as a way to honor a friendship or relationship that already exists. Otherwise, you might as well become a landlord. When you’ve been blessed with bounty, it’s generous to share it. But even if the recipients of your generosity are incapable of actual gratitude, any adult knows (or should know) that thanking someone is a necessity if you want to see the largesse repeated. Let’s start with the people who “thanked” you by asking for more. If they want your house this year you say, “Oh, we never heard from you after the last time you used the house, so I just assumed you didn’t enjoy it. I’m all booked up this year.” Life is too short to spend it behaving like the doormat upon which your guests must tread in order to get to your vacation house. Take your cue from those raspberries sprouting in your yard and become just a little bit prickly.

Ungrateful guests should take a hike Dear Amy: Is there any diplomatic way to suggest to friends (and even family) that they could be more conscientious in acknowledging their gratitude? My husband and I are blessed with good incomes, so we have been generous with family and friends, providing meals, hospitality, paying for vacations and loaning out our vacation home. ASK It’s the AMY loaning of the vacation home that has, at times, caused me pain. We have let people stay there for many days without getting so much as a thankyou note or an entry into the house’s guestbook that lets us know if they enjoyed the visit. Then with little contact, they’ll ask the next year for another week. I loaned the house to one acquaintance, actually hoping that it might lead to our becoming friends. They used the house for three different vacation weeks, and then asked if they could use it for a house party with their friends. I’d have felt fine about it if at least it had led to an invitation to take a walk or to have a cup of coffee together. When someone expresses his or her gratitude thought-
a head of broccoli. The kale lends more dark, rich color and texture. I love the petite leaves of radish greens, which bring a soft playfulness to our arrangement. For a bit of fun, we finished off the arrangement by tucking in green onions, bulb and root side out, because they look like curious little flowers. For our final container, we picked a short, footed crystal bowl to hold a colorful grouping of rotund veggies. We started with a stalk of fennel to give the arrangement some height and movement. Next, we tucked in a few yellow squash for a pop of color. A portly eggplant is the perfect finish for this grouping. Mary Carol Garrity can be reached at marycarol@ nellhills.com.

It could have Stop me before I spend again been worse T
he state has a revised budget, and a lot of essential government programs have been seriously reduced. But if this year looks bad, next year looks worse. The 2011 General Assembly could face a $3 billion budget shortfall even if this year’s revenue matches expectations. Gov. Beverly Perdue signed the $18.958 billion budget June 30, thus officially enacting a $613 million cut on a budget that already includes major cuts. Schools, social programs and prisons all operated at seriously reduced levels during the fiscal year that just ended. Now, they have been cut again. We will employ fewer teachers, and spend less on instructional materials, mentoring new teachers and students with limited English proficiency. There will be fewer school nurses, social workers and replacement schools. Reserves for unexpected engrowth will Those who rollment be razor thin. want less There will be significantly ingovernment home helpless for our will see it, most senior citizens and inlikely in the firm and much less available to help form of needy families with children, or to spend potholes. on the disabled and the mentally ill. Doctors who treat Medicaid patients will be paid less. Some UNC system students will pay higher tuition. Similar cuts are set for other areas of state government. Those who want less government will see it, most likely in the form of potholes. As bad as all of that sounds, it could get worse. If Congress does not extend special Medicaid aid for six months, then as much as $500 million in additional, already defined, state cuts will be made at Christmas. Things would have been much worse last year and this year had Congress not provided North Carolina with billions in aid. This year’s budget is full of references to programs, especially for children, that will be maintained at nearly full levels because of it. That federal aid will expire a year from now. That means the state could need as much as $3 billion in new revenue just to stay where we are today — and where we are today is far below where we were just a few years ago. Unless the economy comes roaring back soon, state government’s ability to restore its essential programs looks dim for years to come.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be) “It is easier to love humanity than to love one’s neighbor.” — Eric Hoffer
Moderately confused
L
ast weekend as America celebrated the 234th anniversary of its independence from Britain, there was a reminder of how increasingly dependent too many Americans have become on our government. The New York Times headline read: “Illinois Stops Paying Its Bills, but Can’t Stop Digging Hole.” The Land of Lincoln has become a land of mounting debt: $5.01 billion to be exact. That CAL may not seem THOMAS like much compared to the growing federal debt — calculated on the National Debt Clock at midday July 4 at $13,189,792,856,331 — but as the late Illinois Republican Senator Everett McKinley Dirksen is reputed (but never proven) to have said, “A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you’re talking real money.” Illinois’ comptroller, Daniel W. Hynes, says the $5.01 billion is what the state owes to schools, rehabilitation centers, child care, the state university and he told the New York Times, “it’s getting worse every single day.” He calls the state’s inability to pay for essential services “obscene.” The real obscenity — in Illinois, California, New York and especially Washington, D.C. — is an inability to live within the means taxpayers provide. Despite record high taxes in these states and more coming at the federal level, government never has enough of our money. But it isn’t all government’s fault. Too many Ameri-
cans have come to rely on government to take care of them, and government has passed the point where it can do so any longer. Politicians, whose sole aim is re-election, behave like enabling parents, giving the children whatever they want hoping for “love” in return, or in this case votes. The obituary of Sen. Robert Byrd, West Virginia Democrat, said he served more time in Congress than anyone else. That, too, is an obscenity. The Founders did not intend public service to become self-service. The definition of “addiction” best describes our increasing reliance on government: “Complete physiological need for and use of a habitforming substance (heroin, nicotine, or alcohol), characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal.” Just substitute “government” for the drugs and “psychological” for “physiological” and you have characterized our addiction to government. There are toll-free hotlines for drug addicts who wish to get clean. Who do you call to break free of an addiction to government? Certainly not the politicians; they’re the pushers. This is classic co-dependency. Politicians tell people what they want to hear and voters elect them out of a sense of entitlement to other people’s money. If you are successful and resist, you are called greedy, uncaring and a Republican! This class warfare has enriched the politicians who practice it, but it is impoverishing America. Too many expect too much from government and too little
from themselves. It used to be the other way around, but concepts such as initiative, selfcontrol, frugality, persistence, honor, integrity and virtue went out about the time baby boomers began their cultural counterinsurgency. The reason so few jobs are being created in the private sector (the labor force is shrinking and unemployment is more than 10 percent, if those who have given up looking for work are included) is because government has grown too big and is strangling the private sector which is uncertain about the cost of Obamacare and tax hikes. The progressives want more reliance on government and less self-reliance. But this is not what America needs. Republicans, should they regain a majority in Congress this fall, and the White House in 2012, must have a serious talk with their fellow countrymen. We can’t go on like this. We can’t keep spending and taxing. We must stop asking our country to do more for us and begin doing more for ourselves. Is there a visionary who will say and then do such things, regardless of the political consequences? He (or she) could quote Thomas Jefferson: “To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.” • • • Contact Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.
When hate has a familiar face A
pparently, Mel Gibson is a better actor than anyone knew. He got in touch with his feminine side in the movie “What Women Want,” directed by Nancy Meyers. But he hates women. He famously partnered with Danny Glover and lent his voice to a documentary celebrating African-American military history. But he hates black people. Or so you must conclude if you believe last LEONARD week’s bombPITTS shell from Radar Online, a celebrity gossip website. It reported on July 1 that Gibson’s estranged girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, had taped him in the throes of a profanely and profoundly hateful rant. He reportedly called Grigorieva, with whom he has an infant daughter, a “whore,” a “b----” and a particularly vulgar term that begins with “c.” Then there is this pungent quote: “You look like a f------ pig in heat and if you get raped by a pack of n----- it will be your fault.” You may think the most damning word in that quote is the N-word. Actually, it’s just before that. After all, only animals hunt in packs. At this writing, it is nearly a week since the story broke and Gibson has yet to deny the authenticity of those words, even as he has come under fire from the NAACP, Gloria Allred and Jesse Jackson. If all this seems familiar, it
is because Gibson made international headlines four years ago when, during a traffic stop for drunken driving, he exploded into a tirade against the “f----- Jews.” I slammed the actor as a bigot, drawing cries of protest from some readers. You shouldn’t be so hard on him, they said. The guy had been drinking. Stuff happens. Mel Gibsons I can only hope those ex-girlfriend readers are said she paying attenrecorded his tion now. profanity-laced People tend tirade. to have this naive notion about hate. They think it’s something you can see at 20 paces, something obvious and over-the-top, like the Nazis that Jack Kirby drew for Marvel Comics; you always knew they were evil from their craggy teeth and bad skin. But hate looks like a grandmother baking cookies, a teacher standing in front of the class, a preacher opening his Bible. It looks like you or me, like anybody anywhere. The philosopher Hannah Arendt famously wrote of what she called the “banality of evil.” Well, there is a banality to hatred, too. We are conditioned to expect a grand, operatic malevolence, but there is nothing grand about it. Hatred is ordinary, hatred is insipid, hatred is small and mean. It is a series of compromises made with conscience, an expedience that by-
passes thought and compassion. It is a sickness and Gibson apparently has it bad. I probably shouldn’t feel sorry for him, but I do. If these accusations are true, he is a troubled man. I hope he gets better soon. But solving the problem will require facing it. And who can say if he will? Consider that back in 2006, when his anti-Semitic outburst was in the headlines, the actor apologized profusely, then said: “Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot.” It was an astonishing statement from a man who had just cursed the “f------ Jews” for causing all the wars in the world. There was in it an echo of the alcoholic in denial, refusing what everyone else knows to be self-evident. It will be interesting to see if Gibson is now done denying. Meanwhile, he has given us all a valuable object lesson. I’ve said this before and it bears repeating: if it is true that those of us who have been hated sometimes have a hair trigger that sees hatred everywhere, it is also true that many of our countrymen who lack that experience have a blind spot that keeps them from seeing it anywhere, even when it is blazingly obvious. So Gibson’s travails remind us: hate isn’t always as obvious as a Jack Kirby Nazi. Sometimes, hate is handsome, familiar and beloved. Indeed, sometimes, hate looks like a movie star. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail lpitts@miamiherald.com.

DOJ fails its duty in Panthers case On June 10, 2010, several television channels informed the public of conduct involving the New Black Panther Party, the Department of Justice and a former career attorney for the DOJ, J. Christian Adams. The television reports carried pictures of several Panthers in black uniforms, one waving a club, in front of a polling station on election day 2008. The reporter had to go between the two when entering the building., They made statements that were not fully audible but are alleged to have said, “black man wins,” a clearly discriminatory remark. Police removed the club-toting Panther but did not remain at the site. Did he return or was he replaced? The Obama Justice Department, led by Eric Holder, received this complaint of voter intimidation. On the complaint’s way to the courts, a strange thing happened; documents disappeared, and the case was dismissed. J. Christian Adams, a former DOJ attorney, believes in equality before the law. He resigned from the DOG and went public. In an interview, he mentioned Loretta King as one of the officials who decided no case existed. This is despite the pictures and statements cited above. I didn’t vote for Obama nor McCain, believing neither qualified to hold the presidency. However, Obama spoke of change and opposing cases of reverse discrimination; this is not what the American population anticipated as change. Until we practice equality before the law, figures such as Al Sharpton and others who use race to cloud issues and encourage dissension will flourish. Remember the Duke University lacrosse case? Many Americans will be injured and denied the legal protection that is the keynote to our constitutional and legal system. The Obama-Holder dismissal of the Panther case may illustrate something about the ObamaWright connection. I hope not. We must punish the wrongdoers and not pander, as some politicians do, to pressure groups such as ACORN. — Arthur Steinberg Salisbury

Lawmakers working overtime in Raleigh to end session RALEIGH (AP) — Hoping to adjourn by the weekend, North Carolina General Assembly leaders sought compromises Thursday on ethics and campaign finance reforms, economic incentives and DNA testing of suspects accused of serious crimes. The House and Senate held allday floor sessions to consider dozens of bills, using recesses to hold committee meetings and work behind the scenes to eliminate differences between the two chambers on competing bills. Lawmakers sent several bills to Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signa-
ture, such as one setting rules so motorists in urban areas can find their cars more easily after they’re towed. Legislators also gave final approval to another measure sought by Perdue, requiring more state monitoring of the way local Alcohol Beverage Control boards run their liquor stores. The bill would also subject board members to a gift ban and conflict-of-interest rules. Legislative leaders wanted to finish for the year by today, but they probably will have to stay until early Saturday to meet parliamentary requirements for some measures, said House Speaker Joe Hackney,
D-Orange. A couple of those bills would expand or extend tax breaks to a host of industries, from moviemakers and digital media companies to computer data centers. Senate leader Marc Basnight, DDare said he wanted to leave today. “I see no reason why that should not occur,” Basnight told Senate colleagues Thursday evening. “If it doesn’t, let’s go home regardless.” Perdue has said the film industry will die in North Carolina without expanded tax credits to make it more competitive. Sen. Clark Jenkins, D-Edgecombe, a Senate Finance
Committee co-chairman, said the changes are needed to attract new jobs and retain current industries. “We’ve got some prospects sitting out there that will come if we give them what we say we’ll give them,” Jenkins said. The lawmakers’ largest hurdle before adjourning is a broad campaign finance, ethics and government reform measure. The House and Senate have approved different bills. Negotiators are trying to reconcile them. “I’m confident that we’re going to come out with a stronger bill,” said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumber-
land, chief author of the House bill. The chambers differ on how to address concerns that campaign contributions by government vendors can influence contract awards. They also disagree on disclosing the fundraising activities of people who get plum appointments to boards and commissions. The Senate tentatively agreed Thursday to bring North Carolina election law in line with a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing corporations, unions and trade associations to fund campaign ads that endorse or oppose a candidate.

Waters from the Rio Grande threaten bridges Thursday in Laredo, Texas, as heavy rains swamped the area.
Storms swamp U.S., Texas border LAREDO, Texas (AP) — The gentle stream that usually marks the Rio Grande bulged into a mighty river along much of its southern reach Thursday as a rain-packed tropical depression dumped on a Texas-Mexico border region already struggling with flooded homes and evacuations after last week’s hurricane. Authorities in Laredo evacuated several neighborhoods close to the river and a 16-story hotel on the banks as the river grew to 42-feet deep and water began to creep into some homes. The tropical depression-driven rains in Laredo and upstream were expected to keep the water level high for several days, said city spokeswoman Xochitl Mora Garcia. “It’s difficult to describe,” said Jerry W. Archer, manager of Rio Grande Plaza Hotel. He estimated the river was about 15 times its usual size. “I was born and raised on the Mississippi River, but people here are used to just a small stream.” The muddy waters — driven by dam releases upstream and rain-swollen tributaries after last week’s Hurricane Alex — submerged light poles and towering palm trees, leaving only a few fronds waving above the water line. National Guard troops arrived Thursday to help with evacuations, and people in low-lying areas gathered sandbags to protect their homes before being forced to leave. “It’s typically dry everywhere in Laredo — except now,” said Nancy Castillo, who picked up sandbags while her sister prepared to evacuate from her home near a dry creek bed overflowing with water that normally would head into the Rio Grande.
Donations pour in to help Arizona with immigration law PHOENIX (AP) — Retirees and other residents from all over the country were among those who donated nearly $500,000 to help Arizona defend its immigration enforcement law, with most chipping in $100 or less, according to an analysis of documents obtained by the Associated Press. The donations, 88 percent of which came from through the defense fund’s website, surged this week after the federal government sued Tuesday to challenge the law. A document from Gov. Jan Brewer’s office showed that 7,008 of the 9,057 online contributions submitted were made in the days after the government’s filing. Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and nearly 2,000 came from within Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100. The Arizona law includes a requirement that police enforcing another law must investigate the immigration status of people if there is “reasonable suspicion” to believe the people are in the United States illegally. Brewer and other supporters say the law will prompt illegal immigrants to leave the state and that state action was required by a failure of the federal government to secure the border.
the relief well is expected to intercept and penetrate the Deepwater Horizon well pipe about 18,000 feet below sea level within seven to 10 days. But workers won’t know how long it will take to stop the oil until they get there. The gushing well has several concentric rings, and oil could be coming up through multiple rings, Allen said. The plan is to pump heavy mud and then cement into the well to overcome the upward pressure of the huge oil reservoir below.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A white former transit officer was convicted of involuntary manslaughter Thursday in the videotaped shooting death of an unarmed black man on an Oakland train platform in an encounter that set off days of rioting in the city. Prosecutors had wanted Johannes Mehserle convicted of murdering 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was shot once in the back as he lay face-down. The jury’s conviction on the lesser charge raised concerns of a repeat of the unrest that followed the shooting on New Year’s Day in 2009. At least five bystanders videotaped the incident in what was among the most racially polarizing cases in California since four Los Angeles officers were acquitted in 1992 in the beating of Rodney King. A crowd near Oakland City Hall moaned and cursed when they heard the verdict. About 500 people, decrying what they called a lack of justice, later marched past police officers in riot gear and businesses that had boarded up windows as a precaution. During a press briefing, Chief Anthony Batts de-
scribed the protest as mostly peaceful and said no arrests had been made, although a small incendiary device had been set off near his department’s downtown station. Anger is directed at the involuntary manslaughter conviction — the lowest offense Mehserle faced. The charge carries a sentence of two to four years, although the judge could add 10 more years because a gun was used in the killing. “My son was murdered! He was murdered! He was murdered,” said Grant’s mother, Wanda Johnson, who earlier stared at jurors when the verdict was read. Mehserle was taken away in handcuffs. The verdict followed a three-week trial in which prosecutors played videos by bystanders, and witnesses recounted hearing the gunshot. Mehserle, 28, testified that he struggled with Grant and saw him digging in his pocket as officers responded to reports of a fight. Fearing Grant may have a weapon, Mehserle said he decided to shock Grant with his Taser but pulled his .40-caliber handgun instead. The trial was moved to Los Angeles because of racial tension and extensive media coverage in Oakland.

Antisa Khvichava looks at her birthday cake in a remote mountain village in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
If claim is true, 130-year-old woman is world’s oldest SACHIRE, Georgia (AP) — Authorities in the former Soviet republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130 Thursday, making her the oldest person on Earth. Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry. The woman, who lives with her 40year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say. “I’ve always been healthy, and I’ve worked all my life — at home and at the farm,” said Khvichava. Sitting in the chair and holding her cane, Khvichava spoke quietly through an interpreter since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian. Her age couldn’t immediately be independently verified. Her birth certificate was lost — one of the great number to have disappeared in the past century amid revolutions and civil war.
Gulf relief well’s success said to depend on location of oil THEODORE, Ala. (AP) — A relief well being drilled deep into the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico to shut down the gushing well could be completed ahead of a long-set deadline of mid-August only if conditions are ideal, government and BP officials said. The relief well is currently the best hope for stopping the oil leak set off by the April 20 explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which killed 11 workers and began an environmental catastrophe for the region. National Incident Commander and retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (AP) — In his first public remarks since his widely condemned comments on Afghanistan, Republican Party chairman Michael Steele said he “ain’t goin’ anywhere” despite calls for his resignation. Steele’s appearance before Colorado Republicans was his first since he came under fire last week from within the GOP for calling the nine-year-old conflict in Afghanistan a mistaken “war of Obama’s choosing.” The gaffe prompted criticism of Steele’s leadership, and some calls to resign. “Every time something happens, people say, ‘Oh, you should STEELE step down. You should step down.’ The reality is, that’s not happening, so stop the noise on that,” Steele told about 100 volunteers and state GOP leaders. Steele added that stepping down from his post is a bad idea with November’s general election just a few months away. “We have too much work to do,” he said. Although he didn’t apologize for his comment, Steele affirmed his support for the war effort and told the crowd he is “foursquare, 1,000 percent with these troops on the ground ... and that should’ve been very, very clear.”
Johnson & Johnson recalls cutting into sales figures TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Sales of Johnson & Johnson pain relievers are collapsing as a string of recalls appears to have made consumers wary of oncesterling brands such as Tylenol and Motrin. An eighth recall, announced Thursday, could worsen consumer reaction. That wariness and the huge amount of products pulled off store shelves together look to be costing J&J tens of millions of dollars a month. Thursday’s recall by Johnson & Johnson’s McNeil consumer health care unit covers 21 lots of products, including Children’s Tylenol. The string of recalls is an embarrassment for a company that set the standard on how to do it correctly when it rushed to pull bottles of Tylenol — deliberately poisoned by someone who was never caught — off store shelves in the early 1980s. This time, the culprit appears to be a lack of internal quality control.

This photo released by CBS3 (KYW-TV) in Philadelphia shows the barge approaching a stalled duck boat before the collision on the Delaware River.
Terror filled stranded duck boat riders as barge approached PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Sandy Cohen looked up from the deck of a small, amphibious tourist boat stalled in the river to see a barge towering three stories above and approaching fast, clearly not about to stop. Then came the screams. Over the next few seconds of terror, she and other passengers fumbled to put on life jackets and sought cover as best they could. Next came a crash, the boat flipped over, and 37 people aboard were plunged into the Delaware River. Cohen came to the surface, clinging to the life jacket she had managed to snag seconds before. A Hungarian teenager on the tour was hanging onto the jacket, too. A photo obtained by Philadelphia television stations shows the barge as it rides up on the stern of the sightseeing “duck” boat and starts pushing the vessel underwater. It would sink to the bottom of the Delaware River. Two other Hungarian passengers, part of the same language program as the teenager who shared Cohen’s life jacket, remained missing late Thursday, a day after the accident. The Coast Guard suspended its search for the two Thursday night. The boat had no history
of mechanical problems before it caught fire, said Chris Herschend, president of Ride the Ducks, the Norcross, Ga.based company that owns it. He said the captain appears to have followed all proper procedures during the emergency. The company hopes to raise the boat soon. The crews of both boats tested negative for alcohol. The first sign of trouble came when smoke started to roll out of the boat’s engine as it entered the water, the 67year-old Cohen told the Associated Press in a phone interview Thursday from her home in Durham, N.C. The tour guide told passengers that a tug boat would be on its way to carry them back to shore, Cohen said. She was on the phone with her husband when passengers began screaming. “Someone said, ‘Oh my God, there’s a barge coming, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping,’ ” she said. Another passenger on the duck boat said she heard the captain calling for help — and moments later she was under water. “The last thing I remember hearing was (the duck boat captain) on the radio saying, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa!”’ said Tina Rosebrook, 30, of Davidson, N.C., who was touring Philadelphia’s historic sites with her 10year-old daughter and 12year-old niece.

FROM 1A Firefighters take a break from the heat while battling the blaze on Barber Junction Road.
HEAT FROM 1A Cleveland firefighters remained on the scene until early morning. Described as one of the “major fire events in the county,� Thomason said the size of the fire, fueled by stacks of pallets and the near-record heat, required the large numbers of firefighters to prevent heat exhaustion. The fire burned one building to the ground and gutted a large metal building, leaving only the walls standing.
One of the buildings housed 10,000 to 15,000 pallets that were ready for shipment. In addition to the stacks of pallets, a 1,000-gallon propane tank presented a major problem. Firefighters tried to cool off the tank, which vented gas repeatedly due to the heat from the fire. “When it vented, it sounded like a rocket going off,� Morrison said. The venting sound was easily heard from across U.S. 70, a half mile away. The venting gas ignited and shot plumes of flame into the sky. Craig Myers, one of the

owners of the business, said late Wednesday he hoped to restart pallet production as early as Saturday. The office and other buildings were not damaged. The business is located on both sides of Barber Junction Road. The cause of the fire was still not known Thursday, but Thomason said foul play is not suspected.

Local ABC board members could face removal if they misbehave in legislation given the OK by the General Assembly.

Five & alive for Rowan Allen returns to form BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com
In never-give-up fashion, Rowan County’s American Legion team toughed out a series-clinching 8-5 win in Game 5 at Newman Park on Thursday night. Leading the charge for the home team was Thomas Allen, who allowed two runs in six innings before Mooresville tagged him for three in the seventh. Allen had to exit Game 3 earlier than desired because of asthma complications, but he redeemed himself in full in the finale. “I just got used to the heat a little bit more before the game playing a game we call ‘crazy ball’ instead of sitting inside the clubhouse in front of a fan,” Allen said. The series result gives a spark to Rowan, which knows it can overcome great odds to beat a good team. “These guys just never quit and really played good baseball,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “Mooresville is a good team and made it really interesting, but give these guys credit. “They come to the ballpark every night and just do not want to lose.” Mooresville limited the chances for two of Rowan’s most dangerous hitters by twice walking Zach Smith (both intentionally) and Noah Holmes. Smith got one hittable pitch and lasered an eighth-inning fastball from Kyle Altizer over the fence in left field for a solo homer that closed the scoring.

Defending champs overcome 2-0 series deficit BY MIKE LONDON

Rowan County completed a rousing comeback that Rowan 8 almost seemed preMooresville 5 destined Thursday at Newman Park. A sliding Billy Nantz was called out on a bang-bang force play at second base to finish Rowan’s 8-5 victory in a tense Game 5 that ended Mooresville’s season. Nantz may have been safe, but Mooresville was too numb to argue. Third-seeded Mooresville (21-9) was in command after winning the first two games of the second-round
series, including an 11-0 rout in Game 2, but after that things unraveled as they historically have for the Moors against their neighbors. “I think Mooresville thought they had it won after two games,” Rowan left fielder Justin Morris said. “But then we got focused. The last three games we were ready to play.” It’s never a good idea to count out second-seeded Rowan (26-10) when it comes to the postseason. “It’s like it’s just not meant to be for us against them,” Mooresville coach Josh Graham said after Post 66 dropped its 10th straight playoff series with Rowan. “Our boys battled, kept their heads in it all the way, but
we had too many things go wrong.” Graham knew how difficult winning a decisive Game 5 would be at a packed, frenzied Newman Park, where the half-and-half take soared to $691. That’s why he and the Moors poured everything they had, including fireballing reliever Chris Dula, into Game 4 on their home field Wednesday. They came up short. “For us to come back against Dula — that had to deflate them some,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. Both coaches called Rowan right fielder Zach Smith the difference in the series. Smith’s 5-for-5, two-homer effort in Game 3 turned the momentum. His two-run triple against Dula

DENVER — Ubaldo Jimenez had another dominating outRockies 4 ing in his last start of Cardinals 2 the first half of the season. Now, he’s ready to take on the American League’s best. Jimenez became the first pitcher in 10 years to reach 15 wins before the AllStar break and the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Thursday to sweep the three-game series. Jimenez (15-1) is headed to the All-Star Game in Anaheim on Tuesday. The only question is if he gets the starting nod, but the humble Jimenez wasn’t lobbying for the gig. “That’s not a question for me,” he said. “AnyJIMENEZ one would want to start.” Rockies managers Jim Tracy feels his ace has done enough to become the first Rockies pitcher to start the midsummer game. “I don’t know how you can do much better than this man in this clubhouse. The only other choice you could make is the kid in Florida,” said Tracy, referring to Josh Johnson.
swung Game 4. On Thursday, he crushed a homer on a first-pitch fastball in the eighth that let everyone know Rowan was moving on and Mooresville wasn’t. “Zach got one pitch, one chance, and he didn’t miss it,” Gantt said. “What a ballplayer. He was determined to keep playing.” A starter for a Pitt Community College team that finished fourth in the junior college World Series, Smith elected to return to Rowan. “We’ve never had a kid like that, a kid who’s that good, come back from college and play for us,” Graham said.

CHINA GROVE — Carson graduate Breckin Settlemyer’s retirement from volleyball was temporary. Settlemyer — one of nine seniors who helped Carson win 22 games, reach the championship game of the NPC tournament and advance the second round of the 3A state playoffs — signed recently with Catawba Valley Community College. A 6-footer who earned All-NPC and all-county accolades in volleyball and competed in basketball and track, Settlemyer was preparing for life as a normal college student, but her plans changed almost overnight. Brett Huffman, Settlemyer’s friend and a baseball player who is transferring from Catawba to CVCC, pointed out to her that CVCC also has a volleyball team. “I was planning to go to RCCC for the radiography program,” Settlemyer explained. “But Catawba Valley has a radiography program — and volleyball.

Settlemyer contacted CVCC coach Shannon Hudson and was invited for a tryout. “I was a little out of shape, but the tryout went OK and I got to meet the players,” Settlemyer said. “I thought the gym was pretty amazing, not new, but really nice and kept up. Coach Hudson said they needed a middle hitter, and she signed me.”

Cheers, jeers follow decision BY TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press
MIAMI — When the moment finally arrived, Dwyane Wade was as anxious as anyone. His eyes locked toward the television set in a Miami Beach steakhouse, Wade stared at the image of LeBron James, knowing what was coming next would change the shape of the entire NBA. “Miami Heat,” James said. With that, all of South Florida — Wade included — roared with delight. “This is the beginning of new chapter in Heat history,” Wade said. “And very exciting for both fans of the Miami Heat and the NBA.” Well, maybe not everyone found it to be so exciting. James’ decision to join the Miami Heat was received with just about every emotion imaginable, from raucous joy in Miami to deep anguish in Cleveland, where a native son of Ohio won two MVP trophies and was revered like almost no other athlete in the city’s long history. At 9:27 p.m., when James announced his choice, that all changed forever.
In Cleveland, fans burned James’ jerseys, and the team owner sent out a scathing e-mail decrying James’ actions and calling him “our former hero.” In New Jersey, New York and Chicago — three other cities that thought they had done enough to land the two-time MVP — teams started moving to Plan B in this free-agent period like almost none other. But in Miami, it was time to celebrate. “This don’t come around often,” Wade said. “History in the making — but it’ll only become history if we do what we came together to do, and that’s win championships.” Miami entered free agency with hopes of keeping Wade, the MVP of its run to the 2006 NBA title, and then pairing him with either Chris Bosh or James. Heat president Pat Riley found a way to get them all. “We are thrilled that LeBron James and Chris Bosh have decided to come to Miami to join forces with our truly great player, Dwyane Wade,” Riley said. “We are looking forward to the opportunity of building something that our fans in Miami will be proud of for a long, long time.”

JAMES FROM 1B “I can’t say it was always in my plans, because I never thought it was possible,” said James, who wrestled with his decision for weeks. “But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us, it was hard to turn down. “Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today.” Add in James, and Miami has a three-headed monster. Sorry, New York, Chicago, New Jersey, Los Angeles and all you other NBA cities who came calling. Hello, South Beach. “It’s going to give me the best opportunity to win,” James said. “We’re going to be a real good team.” That’s not what Cleveland wanted to hear. Fans poured out of the same downtown bars and restaurants that have thrived with James around in frustration moments after the announcement. A few set fire to his No. 23 jersey while others threw rocks at the 10-story-tall billboard featuring James with his head tossed back and arms pointing skyward.
“We Are All Witnesses,” the mural says. This was something Cleveland never thought it would see. Cavs owner Dan Gilbert sent a blistering email decrying James’ actions. “As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier,” Gilbert wrote. “This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his ‘decision’ unlike anything ever ‘witnessed’ in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment. Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us. “The self-declared former ‘King’ will be taking the ‘curse’ with him down south. And until he does ‘right’ by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma. “Just watch.” Olympic teammates four years ago in Beijing, James, Bosh and Wade all helped deliver gold medals while playing for the U.S. This time, the superstars will pursue another gold prize — an NBA trophy — the one Wade got in 2006, the one that James and Bosh have yet to touch. “Winning is a huge thing for me,” said James, who left more than $30 million on the table by not signing with Cleveland.

FRIDAY, JULY 9, 2010 • 3B
ROWAN FROM 1B “Zach coulda played anywhere this summer, but that history and tradition that Rowan County has brought him back to them.” Thomas Allen, knocked out by heat and asthma early in Game 3, surprised everyone by giving Gantt seven innings on the mound. “My velocity really wasn’t there,” Allen said. “But I was locating pretty well.” Mooresville led 2-0 after two innings, but Luke Thomas’ two-out, bases-loaded smash to left off Wes Dumford, who was working on two days rest, tied it in the third. “Pitchers have been freezing me on curveballs, but tonight I was more aggressive and pulled one,” Thomas said. Morris’ RBI double and Noah Holmes’ bases-loaded walk in the fourth made it 4-2. “The plan was to take away Dumford’s changeup and make him throw a strike,” said Morris, who scored three runs out of the No, 9 hole. “Then we were able to jump on some fastballs.” The key inning for Rowan was the fifth. It stretched its lead to 7-2, mostly by not swinging at pitches from lefty reliever Tyler Lewis. Five walks, including an intentional one to Smith, turned into three runs with the help of a passed ball and a wild pitch. “We had a pickoff play that should have gotten us out of that inning, but then we give up three runs that shouldn’t have scored,” Graham said. “We looked dead.” Jake Beaver’s two-run homer and Nantz’s RBI double livened things up considerably in the seventh. Allen, strong in the middle innings, was laboring, but he got the third out of the seventh on a deep flyball off the bat of Nick Keith. Center fielder Will Sapp tracked it down. Lefty Zack Simpson got the Moors out in the eighth with the help of Rowan’s third double play, and Smith’s majestic homer in the bottom half provided a little breathing room. Cody Laws relieved Simpson and got two outs in the ninth, but with two out and two on, Gantt turned to lefty Will Johnson. Nantz greeted the often untouchable Johnson with a single to fill the bases. But Rowan was fortunate to get a Preston Troutman-toHayden Untz forceout at second base on Keith’s bouncer in the hole to end a memorable series. “Losing two to them just made us kind of mad,” Thomas said. “We have pride and wanted to keep playing.”

Rowan first baseman Andy Austin looks to apply a tag on a pickoff attempt against Mooresville.
ALLEN FROM 1B Designated hitter Luke Thomas made the Moors pay for the times they gave Holmes a free pass by lining base hits with runners in scoring position. On top of the strong performance from Allen, Rowan got important relief work from Zack Simpson, Cody Laws and Will Johnson. The trio slammed the door on Mooresville’s season. “We fought through everything we faced and showed a lot of intensity and all came together at the LAWS right time,” center fielder Will Sapp said. “Mooresville is a good team, but we were able to get it done.” Rowan will have a day off and then travel to face Northern Division top seed Western Forsyth. “We are just a team of gamers, and it doesn’t matter who we play, we never want to lose and just want to keep playing,” Allen said. “That’s what Rowan County baseball is all about.”

SETTLEMYER FROM 1B

Breckin Settlemyer, left, sits with coach Shannon Hudson, center, and mother Billie Brown.
Hudson sounds excited about the late addition to what was already a deep recruiting class. “Breckin will be a dominant presence as a middle hitter,” Hudson said. “She’s a hard worker with a great attitude.” Studying radiography means Settlemyer will be preparing for a career in health care rather than preparing to become the host of a radio talk show. She’ll learn how to give MRIs and handle technical equipment. She’ll also get to play for another strong volleyball team. CVCC is a perennial conference, district and regional champion. “I’d almost lost some hope because no one had contacted me about playing by the end of the volleyball season,” Settlemyer. “I really didn’t think I was going to get an opportunity like this.” Like a lot of Rowan volleyball players, Settlemyer got a late start in the sport, so she’s come a long way. “I’d never played volleyball until (former Cougar and current Catawba Indian)

From right:Breckin Settlemyer, Taylor Whitley and Marissa Sellers Mackenzie White got me out there part of the way through my freshman year,” Settlemyer said. “It really became my favorite sport and my best sport.” Carson coach Kelan Rogers said Settlemyer turned in a great senior year for the Cougars. “Breckin has size, and she hits well,” he said. “What surprised me was how emotionally involved she got. She really was one of our emotional leaders out there.” Settlemyer’s college career will start in August. CVCC will be part of a multi-team scrimmage at Brevard on Aug. 21, and it officially opens against Cape Fear CC on Sept. 3.

Goydos fires a 59 Associated Press
SILVIS, Ill. — After four months of pretty lousy play on the PGA Tour, Paul Goydos managed to turn things around a bit — he shot a 59. Out of nowhere. “Today was a nuclear bomb,” Goydos said. “I don’t know where it came from. If I knew that, I wouldn’t be able to touch it.” Perhaps just as amazing, Goydos held only one-stroke lead after an incredible opening round at the John Deere Classic. Defending champion Steve Stricker shot a 60, making for the two lowest scores ever in a single round at a PGA event. And he just missed tying Goydos on the last hole. With the par-71 TPC Deere Run course softened by three days of rain, a lot of golfers were expected to go low. But the fourth 59 in tour history and then a 60 on the same day? “You’re 12 back before you even step on the first tee. That’s tough to swallow,” Stricker said. “That’s why you’ve got to get into a little different thought process and get in your own little world and chip away.” It was the first 59 on the tour since David Duval’s memorable final round helped him win the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. Al Geiberger was the first to shoot 59, in the second round of the 1977 Memphis Classic at Colonial Country Club. Chip Beck shot his 59 in the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational at Sunrise Golf Course. Goydos birdied every hole on the back nine except for No. 15, where he holed a 6-foot par putt to keep a sub60 in sight. He finished off with three birdies, the last one from 7 feet to join the most exclusive club in golf. “It’s almost a mythical number in our game,” Goydos said. “I’ve gone from clubbing a ball in the backyard all the way to the moon, and missed all the steps in between.” Goydos’ 8-under 28 on the back nine matched the lowest nine-hole score in relation to par on the PGA Tour, last achieved by Corey Pavin, who had an 8-under 26 in the first round of the 2006 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. OAKMONT, Pa. — Brittany Lang withstood Oakmont’s slick, sun-browned greens and the unrelenting heat to shoot a 2-under 69 and take a one-shot lead over 2008 champ Inbee Park, amateur Kelli Shean and three others in the first round of the U.S. Women’s Open. Cristie Kerr was among a more-than-crowded group of 14 at 1-over 72. For one-time wunderkind Michelle Wie (11-over 82) and returning champion Eun-Hee Ji (6-over 77), it was a day of misery.
NEW YORK — The agent for David Lee says the All-Star forward is heading from the New York Knicks to the Golden State Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal. Mark Bartelstein says Lee will get a six-year, $80 million contract. The Knicks will receive forwards Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike and Ronny Turiaf. DALLAS — Brendan Haywood is coming back to the Mavericks — as the starting center. He agreed to a $55 million, six-year deal. PHOENIX — The Suns locked up one of their top offseason priorities, signing center Channing Frye to a five-year deal. LOS ANGELES — Guard Steve Blake signed with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Roger Waters of Pink Floyd wrote a song called “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” If he were a bridge player, it would have been “set the controls for the heart of the contract,” despite its not having quite the same ring. Who has his hands on the controls of today’s deal, the declarer or the defense? South is in four spades, and West leads the diamond king. If you play two-over-one game-forcing with a one-notrump response forcing for one round, you may respond one no-trump with three-card spade support, but should do it only with a very weak responding hand — say, 5-7 high-card points. South seems to have only three losers: two diamonds and one club. Without the diamond lead, he has 11 tricks: five spades, three hearts and three clubs. However, if East grabs the controls, he can defeat the contract (assuming
Acknowledgement and/or rewards that have been previously denied you could be forthcoming in the year ahead. Even if it was a long wait, enjoy the inevitable victory you’ll now receive, and do something memorable with it. Cancer (June 21-July 22) -You could find yourself experiencing some beneficial changes in your material affairs. You’ll have to be alert and on your toes, however, because they’re likely to come from unfamiliar sources. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Everything you experience is likely to seem far more exciting and interesting than usual, making you more experimental. You’ll have fun trying out new things or being with new people. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - You could be the first to hear about some very interesting or even juicy information, and you’ll enjoy sharing it with everybody else. It’ll make for a very interesting day. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Although it is your nature to always want to weigh and balance information before acting on it, the speed with which you decide certain issues will have a strong influence on their good outcome. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Your ingenuity and resourcefulness will greatly speed up decisions on important issues, because you’ll be able to think things through very quickly. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Because your words seem to carry so much more weight than usual, you may have to be careful about what comes out of your mouth. Fortunately, you’ll be quick with your thoughts. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Everything is likely to make a quick turnabout, and a matter that has caused you concern looks like it will work out advantageously, instead of being troublesome as you had envisioned. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Even if you can function quite well acting on your own, you could be twice as effective working with a capable partner for a common cause. Don’t hesitate to join up with a buddy. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - When somebody is trying to sell you something or convince you to engage in a particular activity, remember, you’re the one in the catbird seat, not the promoter. Bargain for terms you want. Aries (March 21-April 19) - There’s a strong chance you could meet someone with whom you’ll be establishing a close relationship. Each will be impressed with the other, and shares much in common. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Be logical about what you think or do, but don’t hesitate to listen to your instincts as well. Your perceptions or intuitive insights are likely to be accurate forces just now. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - Spontaneous involvements that occur at this time could turn out to be the most productive or fun things to do, so don’t schedule yourself with something you can’t get out of.

Chronic kidney disease carries dietary restrictions
Set the controls to steer the defense
South has at least two cards in each minor suit). East should overtake the diamond king with his ace, cash the club ace, and return the diamond five. West will win with his queen and give East a club ruff for down one. It should not matter which diamond East leads at trick three (why would he overtake at trick one to cash the club ace if that were not a singleton?), but sending partner a confirmatory suit-preference signal is a good idea. East leads his lowest diamond because he wants West to return the lower-ranking of the other two side-suits: clubs, not hearts. If West fails to give East that club ruff at trick four, East would probably lose control.
Dear Dr. Gott: I have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. I was shocked when the nephrologist told me this, as I have no symptoms. I decided I would get a second opinion. The second doctor said my first diagnosis was correct and put me on a strict lowsodium, lowphosphorus, low-protein diet with very few things I DR. PETER could eat. I GOTT went back to the first nephrologists, who said, with all the trials done on the kidneys, it was found that I wouldn’t live one day longer on the diet. She said instead to limit my protein somewhat and to watch my sodium. What is your feeling on this strict diet? I’m a 76-year-old woman. I am having surgery soon to provide an access, as it takes six months for it to heal so I can have dialysis. Dear Reader: Chronic kidney disease is the gradual loss of kidney function. Conditions such as diabetes, kidney stones, enlarged prostate, vasculitis and hypertension are often associated with the disorder. The kidneys filter waste and excess fluids from the blood that are excreted in urine. With chronic kidney failure, waste products cannot be eliminated as readily, resulting in an accumu-
lation in the blood. This causes dangerous chemical imbalances to occur. While there is no cure, treatment can help reduce any complications and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment might begin with controlling the hypertension, taking prescription drugs to lower cholesterol levels, supplementing calcium and vitamin D to protect your bones, diuretics to rid the body of excess fluid buildup or the inclusion of a low-protein diet. A dietician will likely be recommended to review your diet and suggest methods by which your kidneys will not have to work so hard. This might include reducing your salt intake and eating foods lower in potassium. What your first nephrologist recommended was to have you incorporate a diet that would reduce the amount of work required of the kidneys. Protein reduction includes lowering the amount of red meats, eggs and milk products in your diet. It’s not necessary to delete them, but to lessen your consumption. Fresh fruits, vegetables, cereals or breads might act as substitutes. Foods high in potassium include bananas, potatoes and tomatoes. An easy transition might be made to substitute apples, carrots, grapes and green beans. A sodium reduction can be accomplished by avoiding canned soups and vegetables, fast foods, processed luncheon meats, hot dogs, kielbasa, cookies made with tropical oils and countless other products.
Here is where education and label-reading come into play. Progressing to the later stages of the disease, dialysis, of which there are two types, might be recommended. The first is hemodialysis and involves pumping blood out of the body and into a machine that acts as a healthy kidney would. Once the waste is removed, the blood is pumped back into the body. The second type is peritoneal dialysis, which pumps a solution into the abdominal cavity and utilizes the body’s blood vessels to transport the waste products and additional fluids to the abdominal cavity, where the solution absorbs them. That solution is then pumped out of the body, taking the unwanted waste and fluids with it. A final option is kidney transplant from a healthy donor.
