Bryson Nesbitt, 23, depends on mirrors when he’s backing up a school bus. BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

ALISBURY — Bryson Nesbitt can parallel park a school bus in less than three minutes. He can also maneuver within an inch of barriers on each side of the bus without touching them. “It takes a lot of practice,” he said. Those skills helped Nesbitt land second place in the local school bus roadeo before moving on to win fourth place in the district competition. He claimed first place in the state competition in May, beating out at least 40 others school bus drivers. Now, he’s got his eye on the international crown. And the 23-year-old China Grove native has been heading out to the Rowan-Salisbury School System’s bus garage off Old Concord Road as much as possible to prepare for the competition, which will be held in Baltimore next Saturday and Sunday. “I’m going to be practicing every day between now and next Saturday,” Nesbitt said. • • • The annual school bus roadeo competition consists of two parts. The written examination tests drivers’ knowledge of laws, rules and regulations regarding school bus operation. The driving skills portion measures basic maneuvers such as driving in a straight line over a given width, backing up into a stall, executing a right turn without touching the curb and bringing the bus to a complete stop using mirrors to test the competitor’s depth perception. “The reason for the bus roadeo is to enhance the dri-

ver’s safety skills when driving a school bus,” Nesbitt said. “These driving skills are a lot of the things we face on a day-to-day basis when we’re out on the road transporting students to and from school.” Nesbitt said during his practice sessions he works on each maneuver multiple times. “It’s pretty tricky, I’ve gotten very frustrated out there practicing,” he said.

A 21-year-old Rowan County man remains in critical condition in a Wilmington hospital after a July 2 hit and run. Two people were charged Friday. Daniel Cody Khan, a graduate of East Rowan High School and current student at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, was spending the weekend with friends in Wilmington when he was struck early Saturday morning by a gold Mitsubishi Galant. Khan’s uncle, Salisbury resident Ron Davis, said the family has gathered at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. “He’s got a lot of internal injuries,” Davis said. According to a Wilmington Police report, Khan was crossing South College Road about 1 a.m. KHAN with friends when the car hit him. The driver of the vehicle did not stop. A gold-colored mirror was found at the scene, according to the report. Davis said the driver and a passenger were arrested Friday after taking the vehicle to an auto repair shop more than an hour away from the scene. Erica Nicole Kane, 27, the driver of the Galant, was charged with felony hit and run and having an expired registration and inspection, a Wilming-

Arrest follows people voicing concern of drugs in Granite Quarry BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY—A 23-year-old man was charged Wednesday with possession of marijuana after residents raised concerns about drugs. Charles Wayne Dobson was charged as part of a “saturation patrol,” which was in response to concerns from local residents at Monday night’s town board meeting. According to the report, an officer noticed Dobson pulling out of his driveway in a gold 2007 Nissan Murano. The officer — who was familiar with Dobson and was aware that he did not have a valid driver’s license — pulled the driver over. Officers found a marijuana joint in a cigarette pack and a small black box with additional mar-

Shuttle launch a bittersweet event at Cape Canaveral CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — With a cry from its commander to “light this fire one more time,” the last shuttle thundered into orbit Friday on a cargo run that will close out three decades of both triumph and tragedy for NASA and usher in a period of uncertainty for America’s space program. After some last-minute suspense over the weather and a piece of launch-pad equipment, Atlantis and its four astronauts blasted off practically on schedule at 11:29 a.m., pierced a shroud of clouds and settled flawlessly into orbit in front of a crowd estimated at close to 1 million, the size of the throng that watched Apollo 11 shoot the moon in 1969. It was the 135th shuttle flight since the in-

augural mission in 1981. “Let’s light this fire one more time, Mike, and witness this great nation at its best,” Atlantis commander Christopher Ferguson told launch director Mike Leinbach just before liftoff. Atlantis’ crew will dock with the International Space Station on Sunday, deliver a year’s worth of critical supplies to the orbiting outpost, and bring the trash home. The shuttle is scheduled to land back on Earth on July 20 after 12 days in orbit, though the flight is likely to be extended to a 13th day. After Atlantis’ return, it will be lights out

Former first lady Betty Ford dies at 93 DETROIT (AP) — Betty Ford, the former first lady whose triumph over drug and alcohol addiction became a beacon of hope for addicts and the inspiration for her Betty Ford Center, has died, a family friend said Friday. She was 93. Ford’s death was confirmed by Marty Allen, chairman emeritus of the Ford Foundation. Betty Ford, whose husband, Gerald, died in December 2006, had undergone surgery for an undisclosed ailment in April 2007. During and after her years in the White House, 1974 to 1977, Mrs. Ford won acclaim for her candor, wit and courage as she fought breast cancer, severe arthritis and the twin addictions of drugs and alcohol. She also pressed for abortion rights and the Equal Rights Amendment. But it was her Betty Ford Center, a desert oasis that rescued celebrities and ordinary people from addiction, that made her famous in her own right. She was modest about that accomplish-

for the shuttle program. Thousands of workers will be laid off within days. The spaceship will become a museum piece like the two other surviving shuttles, Discovery and Endeavour. And NASA will leave the business of building and flying rockets to private companies while it turns its attention to sending humans to an asteroid by about 2025 and Mars a decade after that. It will be at least three years — possibly five or more — before astronauts are launched again from U.S. soil. Leinbach said that as Atlantis disappeared in the clouds, he and a friend in the control center put their arms around each other and said: “We’ll never see that again.” Inside the room, “it seemed like we didn’t want to leave,” Leinbach said. “It was like the end of a party, and you just don’t want to go, you just want to hang around a little bit longer and relish our friends and what we’ve accomplished. So it was very special, lots of pats on the back today.” The space shuttle was conceived even as the moon landings were under way, deemed essential for building a permanent space station. NASA brashly promised 50 flights a year — in other words, routine trips into space — and affordable service. Shuttle crews built the International Space Station, repaired several satellites

I don’t take any credit for providing anything that wasn’t provided to me.” After the former president died Dec. 26, 2006, at age 93, his widow said: “His life was filled with love of God, his family and his country.” They had been married in 1948, the same year he was elected to Congress. As she and their children led the nation in mourning him, Americans were reminded anew of her own contributions, as well as his. “It’s hard to imagine a more important figure in the substance abuse field

in orbit and, in a feat that captured the public’s imagination, fixed the Hubble Space Telescope’s blurry vision, enabling it to see deeper into the cosmos than ever before. But the program suffered two tragic accidents that killed 14 astronauts and destroyed two shuttles, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. NASA never managed more than nine flights in a single year. And the total tab was $196 billion, or $1.45 billion a flight. This day of reckoning has been coming since 2004, a year after the Columbia tragedy, when President George W. Bush announced the retirement of the shuttle and put NASA on a course back to the moon. President Barack Obama canceled the moon project in favor of trips to an asteroid and Mars. But NASA has yet to work out the details of how it intends to get there, and has not even settled on a spacecraft design. The lull that the end of the shuttle program will bring is unsettling to many space-

watchers. The space shuttle demonstrates America’s leadership in space, and “for us to abandon that in favor of nothing is a mistake of strategic proportions,” lamented former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, who led the agency from 2005 to 2008. In a pep talk Friday to his launch control team, the current NASA chief, former shuttle commander Charles Bolden, said: “We know what we’re doing. We know how to get there. We’ve just got to convince everybody else that we know what we’re doing.”

She and her husband had retired to Rancho Mirage after he lost the presidential race to Jimmy Carter in 1976. But the social whirlwind that engulfed them in Washington was over, and Betty Ford confessed that she missed it. “We had gone into the campaign to win and it was a great disappointment losing, particularly by such a small margin,” she said. “It meant changing my whole lifestyle after 30 years.” Her detoxification at the Long Beach Naval Hospital became the model for therapy at the Betty Ford Center. President Barack Obama released a statement saying, “Throughout her long and active life, Elizabeth Anne Ford distinguished herself through her courage and compassion. … Mrs. Ford helped reduce the social stigma surrounding addiction and inspired thousands to seek much-needed treatment.”

Rosie ready to roll tonight at Kannapolis cruise-in BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

CHINA GROVE — Sarah Steele has been in love with cars for as long as she can remember. “I was born into it,” says Sarah, 32, whose dad always owned race cars when she was growing up. Always the girl with the coolest cars at school, it’s only fitting that is still the case. Sarah was drag racing a Super sport Camaro before she had kids. She’s got a son, Jacob, 5, and a daughter, Ava, 2. “After Ava was born, I was kind of nervous about racing anymore.” She took pictures of the beautiful white Camaro with the personalized tag “Haulin SS” and listed it on Craigslist. “I put it for sale or trade,” she admits. “It was too small for four people to cruise in.” Plus, she wanted a classic. “Fifteen minutes later, this guy emailed me,” she adds. When she saw the pictures of a 1970 Pontiac GTO, she knew there was something there. She traded the guy for the Camaro and drove down to South Carolina in April 2009 to pick it up. For a car that had spent the last 10 years in a junkyard, it looked nice, and drove, but up close, you could see the flaws. The nose of the car was cracked all the way down, there were open holes where mirrors should have been, and other cosmetic overhauling was needed. Since they bought it, they haven’t really done a lot to it, but they have driven it.

SUBMItted PhOtOS

Sarah Steele shows off Rosie, her restored GtO.

Keith Steele works on the GtO during the restoration project “That’s our church car,” says Sarah. In January, the red GTO fondly named “Rosie” blew a head gasket. In the process of tearing down the engine to figure out what was going on, Sarah and her husband, Keith, decided to just go ahead and rebuild the classic car to its former beauty. “I’m blessed to marry a man who could do all of this himself,” says Sarah. “I like his motto, ‘If mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.’ ” In fact, Keith seems to have gone above and

beyond making mama happy with this pretty baby. Project Restoring Rosie began Feb. 19 and was finished June 24. In addition to a brand new paint job – Sarah and her son Jacob sanded down the car and frame themselves – the car has new wiring, engine, suspension, wheels and tires, and a new headliner. Pretty handy with some aspects of fixing a car — “I can change the oil, fix a tire, that kind of thing” — Sarah admits she “pretty much handed (Keith) tools the whole time.” Sarah and Keith actually met at a car cruise-in in Charlotte eight years ago. “He just happened to ride by one night and we’ve been together ever since,” she says. And since their schedules don’t match — she is a Hospice nurse several days each week and Keith is a supervisor at UPS on second shift — cruising in Rosie as a family is especially special. “I know it’s just a car, but it’s how we bond

as a family,” Sarah says. Rosie will have her inaugural Kannapolis Cruise-In tonight, where some rain is expected but forecasters don’t think it will be enough to cause a rain-out. The entire Steele family will be out enjoying the display of cars — classic and modern. The Kannapolis Cruise-In will begin at approximately 3:30 p.m., with cars arriving as early as noon. All makes, models and years are allowed. Event organizers ask that those who attend don’t touch or allow their children to touch any vehicle without permission. The event will end at 9:30 p.m. Cars are not allowed to spin tires, or repeatedly rev engines. No alcoholic beverages will be allowed in the cars, on the street or in parking lots.

ROADEO FROM 1a ternationals. “It’s still hard to believe that I won state,” he said. Nesbitt received a $500 cash prize for winning the state competition, but he’s hoping for something grander at internationals. “I’m not sure what the prize is, but it would be nice if it was a new school bus for the district,” he said. The international competition does not allow drivers to walk through the obstacle course beforehand like state, district and local. “I won’t be able to see the course until I’m in the driver’s seat.” But he said he’s ready for the challenge. At this point, he says, driving a bus is almost as simple as driving a car. “Obviously, it’s just bigger,” he said. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Frivolous paperwork turning up for foreclosed property Vandals leave WEDDINGTON (AP) — Officials at Charlotte-area courthouses say they are seeing epidemic of frivolous paperwork filed by people claiming the right to seize foreclosed property. The bogus deeds are being filed by people who claim to belong to the Moorish Science Temple of America, an obscure religious sect founded in the 1920s with beliefs loosely connected to Islam. In one incident, a real estate agent and a couple viewing a foreclosed $700,000 home in the Union County town of Weddington were confronted on June 1 by two men who produced a deed claiming the home in the name of the Moorish Science Temple, The Mecklenburg Times reported. “These two guys came in, showed the purported deed and said the Moorish Temple now owned this house,” Detective Brian Keziah of the Union County Sheriff’s Department. “They took over the house.”

“Anybody can do this, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.” CRYSTAL CRUMP Register of Deeds in Union County

The deed filed May 20 claims ownership of the house by the Moorish Science Temple of America “to have and to hold forever.” Officers found personal items inside the home, Keziah said. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the sect as a rapidly growing black nationalist religious movement whose members consider themselves individually sovereign and independent of government authority. The group says on its web site it doesn’t subscribe to sovereign theory. The grand sheik of the Moorish Science Temple in Charlotte said his group is not affiliated with any effort to seize vacant

properties. Christopher BennettBey said he has heard of similar real estate scams around the country, which misrepresent a faith he has followed for more than two decades. He said he does not believe people using the group’s name are members. “It really outrages me,” he said. “Our purpose is to teach our members to be law-abiding citizens, and then I hear something like this. It’s a bad reflection on the entire organization.” J. David Granberry, Mecklenburg County’s register of deeds, said at least 200 deeds and other documents filed in his office in the name of the Moorish Science Temple are “outright fraud.” Granberry said he’s seen forger-

ies and notary fraud in the deeds claiming ownership of vacant, foreclosed properties. Many times, the documents appear official and legitimate, he said. “My records are literally full of this stuff,” he said. “It’s like an epidemic, as far as I can tell.” In Union County, about 25 deeds have been filed this year in the name of the Moorish Science Temple, Register of Deeds Crystal Crump said. Granberry and other officials said as more homes have fallen into foreclosure and been vacated, the more opportunity there’s been for others to move in. Registers of deeds say they are powerless in the face of fake deeds. As long as the deeds meet certain requirements, their offices must accept them, Crump said. “We don’t check to make sure the title is good,” Crump said. “That’s why people have an attorney. Anybody can do this, and there is nothing we can do to stop it.”

$10,000 in damage to woman’s cars A Salisbury woman reported vandalism of her two vehicles Wednesday morning totaling more than $10,000 in damages. Shelia Lloyd, 4020 Goodman Lake Road, reported about 8 a.m. that her 2008 Chevrolet Town & Country and her son’s 2007 Jeep Wrangler received extensive damage during the night, according to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report. The report said Lloyd discovered her son’s tires were cut and obscenities had been scratched into both vehicles.

Pedestrian hits vehicle on East Innes SALISBURY — A man collided with an SUV on East Innes Street Friday afternoon. The driver, John Barber of 1406 N. Church St., said the pedestrian, Thomas Davis, 68, ran into his silver Toyota SUV as he turned left from North Shaver Street onto East Innes Street. “I was pulling out and he ran right into me,” Barber said. “I guess he didn’t see me. I hope he’s all right, though.” According to a Salisbury Police report, Davis had been drinking earlier in the day. He was crossing East Innes Street to go to the Wilco-Hess service station. Davis, of 510 South Shaver St., had a small cut on his head, police said. He was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Barber will not be charged. He had just dropped off his grandchildren with his daughter, Shemeka McGee. “I saw it. I saw him running across the street. He ran straight into the mirror,” McGee said.

90-year-old man scares off burglars HICKORY (AP) — Kicking in the door was easy enough for two would-be burglars, but facing the 90-year-old Hickory man behind that door apparently was more than they could handle. The Hickory Daily Record reports that police said when the men entered the home, the elderly resident yelled, “Get out of here.” The men ran to their car and fled. A neighbor tried to follow the men as they drove away and convinced a motorist to follow them. Sgt. Philip Demas said the driver got a license tag number and vehicle description and called police. A woman later called police to say two men started kicking on her door, but they ran when she screamed. Police found the suspects’ car and arrested two men. Authorities aren’t sure if the two incidents are related.

Blue Ridge Parkway sees rise in vandalism ASHEVILLE (AP) — Park rangers say they are seeing an increase in vandalism along the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina. Rangers say the latest sign to be hit was a 5-foot tall wooden marker indicating the highest point on the parkway. The sign was pulled off its stone base sometime in the past two weeks. Authorities say there aren’t many officers to patrol the 469 miles of parkway in North Carolina and Virginia, so they ask visitors to help by reporting any suspicious activity.

DARTS AND LAURELS

Bridge work moves along Madness on debt ceiling Laurels to progress on the I-85 Yadkin River bridge project. The state Department of Transportation reported this week that workers have completed the temporary work bridge that provides a platform to hold equipment and men during construction of the new northbound and southbound bridges. Although this is a temporary structure, it involved no small feat of engineering. Crews had to anchor supporting beams in the rock bed and create special, reinforced pathways to support six 230-ton cranes. In all, according to the DOT, the work bridge is sturdy enough to support about 2,000 tons, the equivalent of 1,000 SUVs. Thus far, the crews working round the clock, six days a week, are on schedule to complete the project by January 2013. However, drivers won’t have to wait that long to benefit from it. Because of the phased timeline, the DOT expects the northbound span to open sometime next March. • • • Dart to the end of summer, which seems to pass more quickly each year. What’s that? It’s still early July? Then why are retailers such as Toys R Us, Walmart, Office Depot, Staples and Target already launching “back to school” sales? Blame impatient shoppers. Retailers say consumers are asking for the early sales, according to a report in USA Today. They probably want to complete their back-to-school shopping in July so they’ll have plenty of time to hit the Thanksgiving sales beginning in August. • • • Laurels to the Master Gardeners of Rowan County, a group of volunteers who diligently share their time and horticultural expertise to help people keep things green and growing. You can learn more about them and take advantage of their knowledge at events today and next week. The Master Gardeners are sponsoring a retro flower show today from 1-5 p.m. at the Rowan County Agriculture Building, 2727-A Concord Road. (Entries in the show need to be made between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.) Next week, they’re holding a perennial plant sale on Wednesday, 11 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Outdoor Learning Center at the Agricultural Center. The sale is in conjunction with a plant propagation clinic from 9 a.m.noon (registration and $15 fee required; call 704-216-8970 for information.) In addition to organizing events such as these, the master gardeners also maintain demonstration gardens, promote horticultural education and answer a bounty of lawn and garden questions. To help recognize this valuable resource, the state legislature this year authorized a special Master Gardener license plate.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

You can’t wring your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time. — Former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder

Moderately confused

t’s not often that I dare to expound on scientific research. At least, not in public. I have my opinions, just as you have yours, but I generally try to keep mine to myself (or give them to my kids, if I can get them to listen), especially with regard to matters about which I know little or zip. I figure: If you aren’t willing to serve on the refreshment committee, you don’t have the right to show up late at the party and get picky about what’s in the punch. On the other hand, you don’t necessarily need a degree in neurobiology to speak with SHARON some authority RANDALL on things that have long been part of your life. Take, for example, the firefly, a tiny beetle with yellowstriped wings that is flat-out ugly until it lights up. And then it will take your breath away with a beauty that lingers and a smell that won’t wash off your hands. They’re called lightning bugs in the South, where I chased them every summer of my childhood, and still do, every chance I get. I once read about a research team at Tufts University that announced a finding in bioluminescence, the process by which fireflies light up their little bellies like lanterns in the dark to attract mates and charm the socks off humans. The discovery was not that the bugs light up (we already knew that) but rather, how they seem to control it, turning it off and on like a tiny electric switch. What the researchers found was the role that is played by nitric oxide, a gas that acts as a messenger in carrying out certain tasks. In humans, for instance, it helps control blood flow to, well, various parts of the body. And in fireflies, it apparently allows oxygen to be used as fuel for tiny flashes of light. In other words, it’s magic — both in beetles and humans. But it’s not always about sex. I can’t speak for lightning bugs, but I can tell you from personal experience, humans light up for lots of reasons. I don’t think it was sex that lit my grandparents up. Not that they didn’t like sex. They had 12 children, so they must have liked something. In their latter years, they slept in separate rooms because one snored like a sailor and the other kicked like a mule. But she was forever lit up by his corny jokes, just as he was lit up by the sound of her laughter. They also slow danced in the kitchen, and kissed a lot for old people with false teeth, which very possibly fanned the flames. My children, when they were babies, lit up every time they looked at me. Whether it was about me or the food supply I represented, I don’t know. But they lit up, time and again, and it lit me up, too. My old dog, Tuffy, who was not the brightest bulb on four legs, would turn absolutely incandescent at the mention of one word: Walk. I know people — so do you — who light up for the pure joy of discovery, whether it’s an answer to a clue in a crossword puzzle, or an odd sock that was missing from the dryer or the ring you inherited from your mother-in-law and accidentally dropped down the sink. I bet the researchers at Tufts lit up like a pack of Chihuahuas at a Christmas party when they looked into the belly of a lightning bug and figured out what makes it flash. I hope so. That is how life should be, like a forest full of fireflies on a sultry summer night, all lit up and sparkling and ready for love. Why do bioluminescent beetles glow in the dark? Joy? Delight? Discovery? Sex? All of the above? Who knows? Maybe it’s because they know we’re watching and they just love to light us up. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

ifty years ago, it was called MAD: Mutually Assured Destruction. By the 1980s, the U.S. and the Soviet Union together had amassed 25,000 nuclear warheads aimed at each other. Carl Sagan, the people’s scientist, compared it to two people standing in a room the size of a football field filled up to their chins with gasoline, each holding 10,000 matches and each threatening to light one. Today, the debt ceiling debate is MAD. First, what is the debt ceiling? Until 1939, Congress approved the issuance of a Treasury bond every time the U.S. needed to borrow money to pay its bills. In 1939, Congress authorized the Treasury Department to borrow the money DAVID needed to fund the government, POST but set a limit on how much it could borrow. That limit is the debt ceiling. For the past several decades, the Treasury has been borrowing money four out of every five business days and the debt ceiling is approaching $14 trillion. Our lenders, in approximately equal amounts, are the Federal Reserve, U.S. investors, and foreign investors (mostly the central banks of China, Japan and the United Kingdom). Over the years, Congress has raised the debt ceiling with no fanfare. For example, the debt ceiling was raised during each year of George W. Bush’s presidency, doubling from $5 to $10 trillion. Every time the debt ceiling was changed, a handful of senators and congressmen gave speeches on controlling the budget. Some voted against it, but they knew that others would vote to raise it. This time, Congress is playing poker with the world economy as its chips. If the debt ceiling is not raised within a few weeks, the U.S. will not have enough moneyin the bank to pay its bills. That’s never happened, but we know it won’t be good and will probably have unforeseen consequences. Greece defaulted, has riots in the streets and is at the mercy of other countries. Lehman Brothers defaulted in 2008 when the government refused a bailout, and over the following months unemployment doubled and the stock market lost almost half its value. Lehman Brothers was a New York investment bank. Large, but not the largest. And nothing compared to the U.S. government. For 2011, U.S. revenues are $2.2 trillion and expenses are $3.8 trillion. We borrow 40 percent of what we spend. How would Congress

LETTERS

reduce spending by 40 percent next month? To listen to the talking heads, it sounds easy. Some, including presidential candidates, senators and congressmen, are saying that default would be avoided if we pay the interest and “prioritize” other spending with available funds, or cut all other government spending by half. Some suggest across the board spending cuts. If they’re serious, beginning next month, Social Security benefits would drop 40 percent along with reimbursements to health care providers, all government salaries — including our military — and interest payments to our lenders. That’s drastic, but Social Security, health care, defense and interest on the debt account for more than 80 percent of the budget. Others say, “Just go back to 2003 spending levels” when spending was $2.2 trillion. That may sound logical, but that’s the same 40 percent cut. Imagine an angry and crazy couple. One picks up their child and holds it over a bridge railing and says, “If you don’t do what I demand, I’m going to drop the baby and it’s your fault.” The other says, “No, it’s your fault.” No crazy couple should negotiate that way. And neither should Congress. If Congress wants to cut spending, it holds the purse strings. The president can’t spend a dime unless Congress both authorizes and appropriates the money. If it were serious, Congress could pass legislation reducing spending by 40 percent and only give the president that much to spend with specific instructions. Parents do that all the time to their kids. Economists and corporate CEOs are begging Congress to not play this game. Rating agencies are saying that the U.S. credit rating would drop below junk bond status. It would be unmitigated disaster. But this isn’t real poker. It’s pretend. Everyone knows that the United States is not going to default. Congress operates like kids doing their homework on a school bus a few minutes before an exam. This debate is about demagogy. It is about political posturing, blaming the other party and gaining political advantage up until the last minute. It is not about what is best for the United States or the world economy. At least with nuclear warheads, everyone agreed it was MAD. • • • David Post is a co-owner of Salisbury Pharmacy and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University.

United Way funding vital for Girl Scout programs

EDITOR Letters policy

Since 1912, Girl Scouts of the USA has strived to develop a program in which young girls can flourish in an accepting and empowering environment. Globally, there are now more than 3 million Girl Scouts participating in character-building and skill-developing activities. Throughout our local eight-county service area, Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council (GSHNC) serves more than 15,000 girls with the mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place. Within Rowan County, we serve more than 1,000 girls, but that wouldn’t be possible without the support of dedicated volunteers and generous funders, such as Rowan County United Way. We have been able to grow the number of girls served by our Community Outreach Program because of the support given by the United Way of Rowan County. This program focuses on increasing participation in Girl Scouts among girls living in at-risk environments, rural communities or underserved/ emerging populations where volunteer leadership has not been identified or where socio-economics prevent girls from participating at the same level as their peers in the troop. More than 300 girls in Rowan County annually would go unserved without the funding from Rowan County United Way. Our strong partnership with them ensures we can provide quality programming, financial assistance for uniforms, books, membership and program fees, as well as transportation and adult leadership where needed. GSHNC continues to invest in developing the leadership capacity of today’s girls. With the support and funding from Rowan County United Way, Girl Scouts will remain the compass throughout the journey of girlhood. — Katherine L. Lambert Charlotte

Widow of baseball fan who died at game worries about son ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nolan Ryan would always try to accommodate kids clamoring for a baseball when he was pitching. And the new owner of the Texas Rangers has had a goal of helping create cherished memories for families, for fathers and sons attending games together. A Texas firefighter’s trip to a Rangers game with his 6year-old son turned tragic when Shannon Stone tumbled over a railing after reaching out and catching a foul ball tossed his way by reigning AL MVP Josh Hamilton, his son’s favorite player. Stone plunged about 20 feet onto the concrete below Thursday night and died about an hour later. The accident stunned players and fans alike, and it left a 36-year-old widow worried about how the boy, Cooper Stone, will recover from watching his father fall. Shannon Stone’s mother, Suzann Stone, told the Associated Press that her son and young Cooper had gone to the game in hopes of catching a ball in the stands. They even stopped on the way to Arlington to buy a new glove for the boy. “That’s what they were there for was to catch a ball,” the 63-year-old mother said Friday, choking back sobs. “Cooper loves baseball and he’s a big Josh Hamilton fan. Had his jersey.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Money for the Pentagon and the nation’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is proving largely immune from the budgetcutting that’s slamming other government agencies in the rush to bring down the deficit. On a 336-87 vote Friday, the Republican-controlled House overwhelmingly backed a $649 billion defense spending bill that boosts the Defense Department budget by $17 billion. The strong bipartisan embrace of the measure came as White House and congressional negotiators face an Aug. 2 deadline on agreeing to trillions of dollars in federal spending cuts and raising the borrowing limit so the U.S. does not default on debt payments. While House Republican leaders agreed to slash billions from the proposed budgets for other agencies, hitting food aid for low-income women, health research, energy efficiency and much more, the military budget is the only one that would see a double-digit increase in its account beginning Oct. 1 Concerns about undermining national security, cutting military dollars at a time of war and losing defense jobs back home trumped fiscal discipline in the House. Only 12 Republicans and 75 Democrats opposed the overall bill. “In the midst of a serious discussion about our nation’s debt crisis, House Republicans demonstrated responsible leadership that sets priorities and does not jeopardize our national security interests and our nation’s ongoing military efforts,” Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said in a statement.

Most analysts had thought the economy would pick up in the second half of this year. Manufacturing output has shown signs of reviving and auto factories in Japan have resumed production. And gas prices have come down a little.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — When Rodrick Shonte Dantzler raised a gun to his head after going on a deadly shooting spree, the bullet ended what those close to him described as a troubled life in which he frequently resorted to violence and often made threats against women and relatives. Police say the 34-year-old ex-con targeted two former girlfriends in Thursday’s rampage, fatally shooting both of them and five members of their families, including his own 12-year-old daughter. He also shot and wounded two other people — one of them another ex-girlfriend — while leading officers on a chase through Michigan’s second-largest city. “He went out hunting these people down. It was very much a purposeful act.” Police Chief Kevin Belk said Friday, describing Dantzler as mentally unstable but saying he knew of no clinical diagnosis or motive for the killings. Dantzler’s rap sheet goes back to 1992, when he was charged as a juvenile with breaking and entering and car theft. That was followed over the next eight years by charges of trespassing, domestic violence, destruction of property, larceny and assault.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hiring slowed to a near-standstill last month, raising doubts that the economy will rebound in the second half of the year. The report baffled economists who had predicted much stronger job creation. And it escalated a debate in Washington over how to spur hiring and energize the economy while also cutting federal spending. Just 18,000 net jobs were created in June, the fewest in nine months. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, the highest rate of the year, the Labor Department said Friday. Stocks plunged after the report was released, although the market recovered some losses in late-afternoon trading. The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 62 points for the day. Broader indexes also fell. For President Barack Obama, the sputtering job market represents a threat 16 months before his re-election bid.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans took on more debt in May and used their credit cards more for only the second time in nearly three years. Consumers stepped up their borrowing just as the economy began to slump and hiring slowed. The Federal Reserve said Friday that consumer borrowing rose $5.1 billion in May, the eighth straight monthly increase. It followed a revised gain of $5.7 billion in April. Borrowing in the category that covers credit cards increased, as did borrowing in the category for auto and student loans. The overall increase pushed consumer borrowing to a seasonally adjusted annual level of $2.43 trillion in May. That was just 1.7 percent higher than the nearly four-year low of $2.39 trillion hit in September. Borrowing is a sign of confidence in the economy. Consumers tend to take on more debt when they feel wealthier. That boosts consumer spending. Ultimately, it gives businesses more faith to expand and hire. But an increase in credit card debt can also be a sign of people falling on harder times. The increase in credit card borrowing marked only the second monthly gain since August 2008. Households began borrow-

Rain stops Jeter Associated Press

It’s just another number in Jeter lore BY ANDY NEWBERRY Scripps Howard News Service

Like most players who hit the 3,000-hit mark Derek Jeter’s best days are behind him. And this Hall-of-Fame magic number really wasn’t necessary to get the face of the this era’s New York Yankees to Cooperstown. Jeter’s place in history was probably secure when he made that improbable flip relay to retire Oakland’s Jeremy Giambi in that 2001 playoff game. Jeter wasn’t about hitting majestic home runs. He wasn’t the fastest player down the line. But he could hit a big home run. Or

take a walk. Or hit the ball to right field. And he did  Jeter pulls out of it in the postseason time afAll-Star game, 6B ter time after time, helping the Yankees win five World Series titles. That fistful of rings will be his legacy, not his final hit total. Sure, he had more playoff chances than say a Cal Ripken or Robin Yount, but there’s no reason to speculate on how good Jeter is in the biggest moments because we’ve seen him deliver the goods.

Needs rest

See JETER, 6B

AssociAted press

Yankee star derek Jeter is trying to stay loose as he chases the magic 3,000th hit.

NEW YORK — Derek Jeter arrived at his locker, turned on the computer touch screen and immediately checked the weather radar. The forecast? Storms, rather than hits. Jeter’s chances to get his 3,000th hit at Yankee Stadium dwindled Friday night when New York’s game against Tampa Bay was rained out and the teams tangled on a makeup date. The postponement left him two hits shy of the milestone, with two games remaining on the homestand. The Yankees said they didn’t want to play a traditional doubleheader Satur-

day. General manager Brian Cashman gave a succinct answer on why not: “Gate,” he said. Instead, the Yankees proposed a day-night doubleheader. The Rays voted that down, and the sides finally agreed on Sept. 22, a mutual off day that followed a twogame series between the teams in New York.. “I don’t think there’s really a win,” Rays star Evan Longoria said. “I think we all know why they’d like to get these three games in and obviously they’re rooting for Derek to get his 3,000th hit here in this series. I mean, we’d like to see him do it, too. And he’s got two more days to do it.”

South lead is a wash

Rowan starts over

BY DAVID SHAW dshaw@salisburypost.com

WINSTON-SALEM — It took an Old Testament downpour to wipe the smile off Michael Lowman’s face Friday night. That’s because the torrential rain also wiped out South Rowan’s encouraging start in the Area III playoffs. With right-hander Matt Miller coasting on the mound, Post 185/146 owned a 3-0, fifth-inning lead over host WinstonSalem when the skies opened up. Because the teams didn’t play five complete innings, none of the stats count and the game will be replayed tonight at Mount Tabor High School. “Yeah, it was a good start,” said Lowman, South’s thirdyear head coach. “We were playing well. Matt was throwing the ball well and we got some clutch hits with two outs. But that’s baseball.” Miller faced the minimum 12 batters in four innings, yielding just a pair of singles and striking out five. One baserunner was erased on a double play, another picked off and thrown out at second. South (8-15) scored all of its runs against lefty William Shepley in the top of the fourth. Joe Basinger and Weston Smith delivered two-out, run-scoring hits and Jordan Kennerly followed with an RBI-double down the right-field line. Miller — 2-4 with 4.04 ERA this season — was clearly disappointed after his sharp, 44-pitch effort was wasted. He likely won’t be available to pitch again until Monday. “He attacked the strike zone,” Lowman said. “He has the ability to pitch inside and he’s got enough velocity to throw it by people.” South had two runners on base with two away in the fifth when the plate umpire ordered both teams off the field. Lowman isn’t sure who will start tonight’s game.

SALISBURY — Rowan County’s Zack Simpson looked great on the mound, and Will Sapp broke out of a slump, but officially, Friday’s first-round playoff game never happened. Rowan was tied with Surry County 2-2 after 41⁄2 innings when umpires cleared the field after spotting lightning. Newman Park was blasted by both ominous, electric bolts and torrential rain a few minutes later. Newman Park quickly was turned into Lake Newman, and there was no hope of a restart. All the stats — good and bad — were washed away. The teams will start from scratch tonight. “Just one of those things,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “Lightning was striking all around, so the umpires had no choice. You knew the bad weather was coming, but it just kept building up. Then, once the rain got here, it really got here.” The start of the game was delayed until 7:20 p.m. by weather concerns, but things moved along briskly thanks to Simpson, an unbeaten southpaw, and Surry hurler Nathan Welch. Had the teams been able to play the bottom of the fifth it would’ve been an official game. If the score had remained tied 2-2 after five, it would’ve been declared a suspended game, and the teams would’ve picks things up in mid-game tonight. Instead, they’ll have to play all nine. Sapp scored both Rowan runs, crossing on a wild pitch in the first inning and on Andy Austin’s groundout in the third. Rowan’s leadoff man, Sapp jon c. lakey/sALisBUrY post

Mannings having a busy offseason BY BRETT MARTEL Associated Press

THIBODAUX, La. — The power and accuracy with which Peyton Manning’s passes bowl over bad guys in a recent “Football Cops” TV spoof was nowhere to be seen at the Manning family’s annual football camp. After not making any throws during Friday morning’s instructional sessions, the Indianapolis Colts quarterback stressed that he is taking a “very cautious” approach to his comeback from AssociAted press offseason neck surgery because of the peyton Manning, left, instructs participants of the Manning NFL lockout. “That’s one thing these owners didn’t passing Academy reason.

take into account. You’ve got a guy rehabbing and you can’t use your training room and can’t use your trainer,” Manning said. “When you find a good trainer and a good rehab guy that you like, it’s a pretty special bond. These guys kind of know your body. So the fact that I haven’t had access to my guys and I’ve been somewhat on my own, I’ve been extra cautious and extra slow and making sure we don’t have any setbacks.” Manning’s father, former Saints quarterback Archie Manning, mentioned that Peyton has been throwing at some of the offseason workouts he has organized with Colts teammates in recent months. However, Peyton Manning declined to

get into specifics about his condition, stressing only that he has been “very, very limited as to what I’ve been able to do and what I’ve allowed myself to do.” Manning said he usually puts himself through three rehabilitation sessions per day and even got one in Friday morning before camp started. Lockout or not, this has been another busy offseason for the Mannings, who got together on the campus of Nicholls State for the 16th year of the Manning Passing Academy.

Legion playoffs muddled by rainouts From staff reports Four Area III American Legion playoff games were played on Friday, including three rain-shortened decisions that went long enough to be official. Mocksville topped Western Forsyth 6-3 in Bracket B. In Bracket A, Randolph rallied to beat Kannapolis 4-3; High Point handled Concord 7-2, and Stanly knocked off Kernersville 7-4. Since half the teams were rained out or had their games halted before they were official, Day 2 of the double-elimination tournaments are being treated as “Day 1, extended,” according to Legion officials. What that means — in plain English — is that none of the teams that played official games on Friday will be in action tonight. They’ll have to wait until Sunday to play again. Kannapolis will play at Kernersville in an elimination game on Sunday. On Friday, Kannapolis suffered a tough loss to Randolph, the No. 1 Northern Division seed, after leading 3-0 after seven innings. Kannapolis also left two men on base in the ninth.

 Rowan will be at home against Surry tonight, while South Rowan will try to play again at Winston-Salem. At this point, Rowan is scheduled to be at home on Sunday night against either the Mooresville Moors or Eastern Randolph — but stay tuned. For scheduled pairings, see Scoreboard.  Wednesday’s Area III All-Star Game was supposed to determine home-field advantage for the Area III championship series, but it ended in a 10-10 tie, which, obviously, didn’t settle anything. Legion officials announced on Friday that the higher seeded team will now open the best-of-three series at home. If both Area III finalists have the same seed, the triedand-true coin flip will be used to settle the issue.

Hall of Fame manager left imprint on game Associated Press By taking over a ninth-place team and leading it to the pennant in his first year as a bigleague manager in Boston, Dick Williams earned the reputation of being a turnaround artist that he built on later in Montreal and San Diego. By taking over an emerging powerhouse in Oakland and leading the Athletics to backto-back World Series titles to start a dynasty in the 1970s, Williams became a Hall of Famer. Williams, one of only two managers ever to lead three teams to the World Series, died Thursday from a ruptured aortic aneurysm at a hospital near his home in Henderson, Nev., the Hall of Fame said. He was 82. With his brash style, mustache and public feuds with owner Charlie Finley, Williams was the ideal manager for the A’s teams that won it all for him in 1972 and ‘73 and then again the following year after he resigned. “He came to us at a very good time in our development and certainly for me as a young player full of talent ... ,” Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson said. “We were young and needed to understand how to go about winning and take the final step to become a great team. He was very important in that. He demanded excellence.” He was able to get that out of his players in many of his stops, winning pennants with the Red Sox and San Diego as well as the championships in Oakland to join Hall of Famer Bill McKechnie as the only managers ever to take three franchises to the World Series. He also helped build the Montreal Expos team that went to the playoffs in the strike-shortened 1981 season as he built on his success turning around struggling franchises with his no-nonsense approach. “I owe Dick a lot,” said Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, who played for Williams in San Diego. “The city and the Padres owe him a lot. I think a lot of fans bought right into it like the players did, like in ‘82, when he first took over, then ‘84 when we went to the World Series. I think the fans realized that his style of play, the way he wanted us to play, could be

successful if we bought in, and we did.” But he had his biggest success during three tumultuous seasons in Oakland in the 1970s. Williams led the Athletics to 101 wins and a division title his first year in 1971 before being swept by Baltimore in the AL championship series. He then won World Series titles the next two years with Hall of Famers like Jackson, Rollie Fingers and Catfish Hunter as the A’s became the first team to repeat since the 1961-62 Yankees. But fed up with Finley’s meddling style of ownership, Williams resigned after the 1973 title instead of sticking around for what turned out to be a third straight championship season. The final straw between manager and owner came during the ‘73 World Series. After second baseman Mike Andrews made two errors in a Game 2 loss, Finley publicly berated him and pressured him to sign an affidavit claiming he was hurt so the A’s could add another player to the roster. Williams and the A’s players were outraged by the way Andrews was treated and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn blocked the roster move. Williams ended up resigning after the season. “When Dick left, it was an odd termination,” Jackson said. “That was a weird deal, the Mike Andrews situation. We knew Dick was still a heck of a manager. It was really just a disagreement with ownership over the incident in the World Series and Dick stood up for the player.” Before coming to Oakland, Williams was part of Boston’s memorable “Impossible Dream” team in 1967 that won the pennant for the first time since 1946 before losing the World Series in seven games to St. Louis. The Red Sox had finished ninth in the 10-team American League the previous year, helping form Williams’ reputation as a master of the turnaround. “One of the best managers I ever played for, Dick was very instrumental in accomplishing the Impossible Dream,” Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski said in a statement released as the Red Sox hosted the Orioles.

Williams also took over a last-place team in Montreal and helped build that club into a playoff team. Williams was fired in September 1981, just before the Expos made their only playoff appearance. He then led the Padres to their first playoff berth and first NL pennant in 1984. San Diego lost to Detroit in five games in the Series that year. “He knew how to win,” said Rangers pitching coach Andy Hawkins, who pitched for Williams on the Padres. “He got the most out of his people, he demanded the most out of his people and he got it. He handled his pitching staff real well, I ended up throwing real well for him. I liked him as a manager, I sure did. He was a tough man to break in for, but as a veteran, he was great to play for.” Gwynn said he found out the hard way that if a player made a mistake and didn’t own up to it, Williams would pull him out of a game. He said he didn’t hustle on a grounder to second with a runner on third with two outs in a game at Cincinnati early in the 1984 season. The second baseman dropped the ball but picked it up and had time to throw out Gwynn. “Dick yanked me out of game right there in the third inning. He told me to go upstairs and get dressed and wait for him in his office. I had to wait for six innings or so, wondering, ‘What is he going to say?’ I said, ‘Hey, I screwed up, I didn’t run down the line.’ He said, ‘You’re damn right, that could have been the difference, we would have won the game, because if you were in right field, you make the play that Bobby Brown didn’t that cost us the game.’ It was classic Dick Williams. He wasn’t afraid of anybody. He wasn’t afraid if you had (service) time or success. Goose (Gossage), (Steve) Garvey, (Graig) Nettles, if he needed to say anything to anyone, he would. Again, lesson learned. That didn’t happen again.” Williams had an overall record of 1,571-1,451 in 21 seasons, also spending time with the Angels and Seattle Mariners. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008 after being elected by the Veterans Committee.

Hamilton numbed by fatal accident ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Josh Hamilton could hear 6year-old Cooper Stone screaming for his dad, who tumbled over an outfield railing and fell 20 feet onto the concrete. “In my mind, it happened in slow motion,” Hamilton said Friday, a day after the fatal accident. “I threw the ball and saw him go for it and saw him just tip right over the edge there. When it happened, it was just disbelief.” Firefighter Shannon Stone,

who only minutes earlier had called out to Hamilton for a foul ball, fell headfirst after reaching out to catch one tossed his way by the Texas Rangers outfielder during the second inning. Stone died about an hour later. “It’s just hard for me, hearing that little boy screaming for his daddy. ... That’s one of the main things I remember,” Hamilton said. “It’s definitely on my mind and in my heart. I can’t stop from praying enough

for them.” Hamilton said he is relying on his Christian faith, just as he has during an inspiring comeback from cocaine and alcohol addictions that almost kept him from ever playing in the major leagues. The reigning AL MVP, whose major league debut in 2007 came almost eight years after he was drafted as the No. 1 overall pick, was selected by fans to start his fourth consecutive All-Star game next week.

SALISBURY POST

Ohio St. vacates 2010 wins

Hurricanes sign Joslin Associated Press

Associated Press

The college football notebook ... COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State’s 2010 Big Ten championship, its 12-1 season, its victories over rival Michigan and in the Sugar Bowl — all gone. Coach Jim Tressel is out and so is star quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Left behind: two years of self-imposed probation. The question now is whether it will be enough to save Ohio State football from more severe penalties in an upcoming trip to see the NCAA committee on infractions. In response to NCAA violations committed by football players who traded autographs and memorabilia for cash and tattoos — and by a coach who covered it up — Ohio State issued its official response on Friday. Athletic director Gene Smith hoped it would appease the NCAA ethics police. The measures taken by the school included vacating all the Buckeyes’ wins from last season, a year in which Ohio State captured a record-tying sixth straight Big Ten title and won an unprecedented seventh straight game over Michigan. “All I know is that this is significant,” Smith said. “A lot of people may not view it that way externally, but this is significant. When you think about all the other athletes who participated in those games, those records will be gone. ... “Might the NCAA do more?

ohio state athletics director Gene smith talks to reporters. I just can’t speculate on that.” Tressel found out in April 2010 that his players were taking improper benefits from a local tattoo-parlor owner. Despite contractual and NCAA obligations to report it, he didn’t tell anyone at the university or the NCAA for more than nine months. And what was just a five-game suspension for five players suddenly blossomed into a major violation that included a coach knowingly playing ineligible players throughout the 2010 season. "Coach Tressel acknowledged that when he received the information, he knew the players could not sell the memorabilia or receive preferential treatment," Tressel said through his attorney in response to the allegations. "He also understood that the university policy called for him to notify the compliance office regarding possible violations. He has explained his thinking at the time, but offers no excuses here for his decisions." In a reversal, Ohio State — which earlier said it had asked for Tressel's resignation on May 30 — said Friday it had now agreed to allow him to call it a retirement. The school also said he did not have to pay a $250,000 fine levied

against him for his actions. On top of that, Tressel will receive the last month of his base pay ($54,000), has agreed to cooperate when Ohio State goes before the NCAA infractions committee on Aug. 12, and both he and the university agreed that they wouldn't sue each other. Just last month Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee vowed that Tressel "will pay the fine." Tressel's attorney, Gene Marsh, confirmed to The Associated Press earlier Friday that the former coach, who led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national title, would be on hand in Indianapolis when Ohio State gets its day with the NCAA. Smith said there was no evidence whatsoever that anyone at Ohio State other than Tressel had any knowledge of the players' violations before January of this year. The response to the NCAA doesn't mean Ohio State's woes are over. The governing body for college sports could still impose tougher sanctions, such as a ban on postseason play and a reduction in scholarships. The NCAA is expected to hand down its sanctions six to eight weeks after the August hearing.

RALEIGH— The Carolina Hurricanes have signed defenseman Derek Joslin and a minor leaguer to two-year contracts. The team said Friday that Joslin will make $650,000 this season and $750,000 in 2012-13. He made $500,000 last season and was eligible for restricted free agency, meaning Carolina could match any offer he received. Joslin had one goal and four assists in 17 games after Carolina acquired him from San Jose in February. General manager Jim Rutherford says Joslin “has now put himself in a position to be a full-time NHL player.” Earlier in the day, the team signed minor-league defenseman Brett Bellemore to a two-way deal that will pay him $525,000 per season in the NHL or $70,000 in the minor leagues. • WINNIPEG, Manitoba — The Winnipeg Jets acquired center Eric Fehr from the Washington Capitals on Friday for a fourth-round draft pick in 2012 and prospect Danick Paquette.

GOLF COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Stacy Lewis made it through 29 holes Friday in the U.S. Women’s Open at Broadmoor before Colorado’s typical summer thunderstorms hit and she walked off the mountain course at 4-under par, with a one-shot lead over I.K. Kim and Ryann O’Toole. • SILVIS, Ill. — Chez Reavie shot a 9under 62 at the John Deere Classic, relying on his putter to claim a two-stroke lead after two rounds. Reavie found the greens at TPC Deere Run to his liking while making an eagle and a string of birdie putts, going 8 under during one nine-hole stretch. He went into the weekend at 14-under 128 in search of his first victory since the 2008 Canadian Open. • PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Russ Cochran made six consecutive birdies and shot a 7-under 65 to take the first-round lead at the First Tee Open. • INVERNESS, Scotland — U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell shot an 8-under 64 to grab a share of the lead at the Scottish Open.

TENNIS WASHINGTON— Serena Williams

played her first sanctioned match in the United States in two years, helping Washington beat Boston 25-10 in World Team Tennis. The 13-time Grand Slam singles champion, sidelined for nearly a year by foot injuries and a pulmonary embolism, hadn't played a sanctioned match on U.S. soil since the 2009 U.S. Open semifinals. • AUSTIN, Texas — Spain's Feliciano Lopez beat Mardy Fish of the United States to earn Spain a key singles victory in the opening match of their Davis Cup quarterfinal. Playing as the No. 2 for Spain, Lopez twice let Fish rally back from match point in the fifth set before winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-7 (7), 8-6. Andy Roddick faces David Ferrer in Friday night's other singles match. Spain is seeking its third Davis Cup championship in four years, but is without world No. 2 Rafael Nadal, who is skipping the quarterfinal after losing in the Wimbledon final. Nadal helped Spain win the Davis Cup in 2004, 2008 and 2009.

CYCLING CHATEAUROUX, France — Mark Cavendish has won a crash-marred seventh stage of the Tour de France, while Thor Hushovd retained the yellow jersey.

HOUSTON — Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is retiring, according to a report by Yahoo! Sports. The 7foot-6 Chinese star, plagued by lower-body injuries in the second half of his career, has informed the YAO league office that his playing career is over, the website reported. The Rockets declined to comment on the report because of the lockout, and the NBA has not received official retirement paperwork from Yao. Yao’s contract expired after last season, and the Rockets said they were interested in re-signing him if he came back healthy. Yao said in April in China that his professional future depended on his recovery from a stress fracture in his left ankle. John Huizinga, one of Yao’s American agents, would not confirm the report during a phone interview on Friday. He said Yao’s recovery was “on

track,” but Yao’s future with the Rockets has been uncertain for some time. “He’s really enjoyed his time in Houston,” Huizinga said. “If he feels that he’s recovered enough to play, and if the lockout ever ends, and if the Rockets are interested in him, then there’s certainly a good chance he’ll stay in Houston. “But there are a whole lot of ‘ifs’ in that statement.” An eight-time All-Star selection, Yao averaged 19 points and 9.2 rebounds in his eight seasons, but his impact on the league goes far beyond the numbers. Yao single-handedly expanded the NBA’s reach throughout Asia, spiking merchandise sales and TV ratings for games after the Rockets made him the top overall pick in the 2002 draft. Marc Ganis, president of Chicago-based consultancy SportsCorp, said Yao’s worldwide impact on the league will probably never be duplicated by another player. “There’s never been anything like him before,” Ganis said, “and I doubt we’ll ever see anything like him again.” Ganis said Yao became an iconic symbol of China’s growth and status.

The college football notebook ... CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The NCAA said Friday it has accepted West Virginia’s self-imposed sanctions that include two years’ probation for major rules violations under former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart. The report by the NCAA infractions committee said three failure-to-monitor violations occurred involving outof-season coaching and the use of noncoaching staff to work with players. Under the sanctions released Friday, the Mountaineers will lose a scholarship for the upcoming season and have recruiting restrictions and staff reductions. The probation doesn’t include postseason play. “I am pleased that the Committee accepted the self-imposed penalties the University proposed, without imposing any additional ones,” West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck said in a statement. “The University has already taken corrective action and put new

systems in place to address all the issues raised.” The infractions committee didn’t decide the Mountaineers failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance with NCAA rules, an initial allegation made by the NCAA last year. Rodriguez avoided the same finding during an earlier, separate investigation at Michigan, which in May 2010 admitted it had committed a series of violations related to practice time and coaching activities. Michigan fired Rodriguez in January. LSU QB THIBODAUX, La. — As far as Jordan Jefferson is concerned, there's little question who will be the No. 1 quarterback for LSU this fall. "I will be the starter, hands down," Jefferson said while participating as a counselor at the Manning Passing Academy on Friday. Jefferson, who'll be a senior, has started since the end of his freshman season in 2008, going 20-7, but has struggled with consistency in the pass-

had come into the game in a 3for-25 slump, but he singled, doubled and lined out sharply to the third baseman. “Over the course of a summer, it’ll come back around for guys,” Gantt said. “Different guys are going to hit on different nights.” Surry, the No. 8 seed from the Northern Division, had put up two runs in the third, taking advantage of a walk to No. 9 hitter Tanner Hudson on a 3-2 pitch and two plays that might’ve been made by Rowan infielders, but weren’t. “We do need to play better defensively,” Gantt said. “We can’t take unproductive at-bats back out into the field with us.” Simpson finally got out of that troublesome third when second baseman Ashton Fleming started a double play. Surry’s fourth inning also ended with a twin killing. Simpson (5-0) fanned five and walked one, so there was little doubt he would’ve been able to give his team at least seven innings of quality work. “This was one of Zack’s best nights,” Rowan catcher Nathan Fulbright said. “He was hitting spots. He had that one bad inning where he made some good pitches but they made some lucky swings and got hits. It happens in baseball, but it’s not like he was making a lot of mistakes.” The big negative for Rowan is that Simpson, who has fanned 47 while walking only eight this summer, won’t be available to pitch again for a few days.

jon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST

Matt Mauldin takes a mighty swing during Friday night’s game. “Zack’s out of the mix for a while, but a lot of teams are in that same boat,” Gantt said. “Now it’s Thomas Allen, then Bradley Robbins, and then Matt Laurens.” Allen (4-0) was tremendous against Kannapolis last Sunday at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium and will take the ball tonight

when the teams try it again at Newman Park. Surry’s veteran coach Barry Hall had to be happy with the way his team played defensively, especially shortstop Shane Johnson, and Welch was hard enough to hit that Surry was able to hold its own with Southern Division No. 1 seed Rowan — even with

five passed balls/wild pitches in the early going. “Making another trip down to Rowan doesn’t bother me at all,” Hall said. “But I would’ve felt a lot better playing Rowan with 41⁄2 innings done, and the score tied 2-2. Now we’ve used a good pitcher, and we’ve still got to play them a full ballgame.”

RAGAN FROM 8B Including Ragan, who will try to make it two straight Saturday night in an event — much like Ragan’s triumph — that has been a long time coming. The 1.5-mile oval opened to rave reviews over a decade ago and has hosted Trucks and Nationwide Series races for years, but it took a protracted legal battle and the track’s sale to Speedway Motorsports Inc., before it found a date on the Cup schedule. A capacity crowd of over 107,000 is expected, with SMI chairman Bruton Smith is promising to put on the biggest sporting event the Bluegrass State has ever seen, the Kentucky Derby included. “We will outdraw (everything) this week, this horsey race ... included,” Smith said. Maybe, maybe not, though the drivers sound like they’d rather race on the dirt at Churchill Downs than deal with the tricky — not to mention

bumpy — corners at the track tucked in the northern Kentucky hills. Points leader Kevin Harvick, who won the first Nationwide Series race here in 2001, says Kentucky differs from the other 1.5-mile tracks because of the difficulty that awaits in Turns 3 and 4, believing the bumps add “character.” That’s a polite way of calling them problematic. Five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson likens getting around at Kentucky to driving over a steel bridge in a passenger car. Find yourself in the wrong groove and things can get pretty uncomfortable. “The car is constantly moving around,” Johnson said. “You’re wondering, ‘Am I loose or tight or is that just the grooves in the track.” Busch, who won the Trucks race here Thursday, thinks the recent surge in repaving projects at places such as Daytona and Kansas should make its way to Kentucky. “It needs a good look at,” he said. Kenseth takes it a step further, urging SMI to get the rollers before the

series visits again next year. “I think it bothers everybody,” Kenseth said. “It is almost ridiculously rough. Even on the front straightaway it’s so rough that it kind of knocks you all over the place. It could use a coat of repavement.” The bumps haven’t been a problem for Joey Logano, who is 3-for-3 in Nationwide races at the track. Yet Logano is aware that his success won’t mean much when the green flag drops Saturday night. “(Other teams) are going to know what they need and they’re going to know how to make speed pretty quick out there,” Logano said. The Cup cars are bulkier and harder to handle than the Nationwide version, and two lengthy testing sessions on Thursday in addition to practice on Friday leveled the playing field. Still, Johnson is optimistic the cars will find a way to run multiple grooves and provide a compelling race. Then again, it’s not like the track has been kind to the sport’s most dominant figure. He finished 30th in the Nation-

in that rhythm, you get in that flow, things look easy.” Series points leader Johnny Sauter endured another tough night. He crossed the finish line first at Texas last month but was dropped to 22nd after officials ruled he changed lanes illegally on a late restart. He appeared to have one of the stronger cars on Thursday, starting from the pole and leading 24 laps before a broken axle sent him to the garage with less than 25 laps to go. Still, Sauter managed to extend his points lead to 23 over Cole Whitt when the 20-year-old rookie got caught up following a rare miscue from veteran Ron Hornaday Jr., who got loose coming out of Turn 4 about halfway through the race and collected Whitt, Josh Richards and John King. By then Busch had already roared to the front. He needed less than a dozen laps to move from last to 18th and was in the lead by lap 61. When chaos struck, he managed to avoid it while moving one step closer to 100 career NASCAR wins. He could get closer to the milestone by the end of the weekend. “We’d love to do it,” he said. “That’s what we’re here for.”

wide race here in 2001 and testing sessions here over the years have been a rough go. “This track has beat me up quite a few times,” Johnson said. “I’ve torn up a lot of race cars here.” There could be more carnage this weekend, which may open the door for another fresh face to sneak through. It’s not a bad thing for a series trying to find someone — anyone really — to break Johnson’s stranglehold on the championship. Ragan knows he’s hardly there yet. Then again, he’s much closer than he was a week ago. His win at Daytona comes a few months before shipping giant UPS’ contract as the primary sponsor on his car is up. The company sent out a statement earlier in the week praising Ragan for his hard work. “Certainly winning helps and running well helps and getting TV time and sitting on poles all helps,” Ragan said. “That is what I can control ... hopefully I can uphold my end of the DAVID RAGAN deal and keep that Ford up front.”

Brad Keselowski celebrates his victory with a burnout.

NATIONWIDE FROM 8B would have been easier.” Keselowski thought Harvick may have been toying with him. When it turned out he wasn’t, it let Keselowski take a leisurely route to the finish. “Essentially it opened the box up for me to be more aggressive saving fuel,” Keselowski said. “I don’t know if we would have ran out or not, it’s hard to tell.” Not that it mattered in the end as Keselowski put together his best performance since winning at Gateway last fall to beat a field stacked with fellow Sprint Cup regulars in town to run in Saturday night’s inaugural Cup race at the track. The 27-year-old dominated NASCAR’s second-tier series a year ago, winning six times while running away with the championship. Things haven’t been quite so smooth this season. His previous best finish this year was second at Texas in April, but has had several close calls. He thought he’d win at Las Vegas only to cut a tire on the final lap. He was in front with a handful of laps left last week at Daytona only to see his Penske Racing Dodge fade to 17th. “This year has been a series of what-ifs and today was actually not one of those days,” he said. Joey Logano, who was looking for his fourth straight win at Kentucky, ran out of

gas on the last lap and finished 10th. Sadler took over the Nationwide points lead after Reed Sorenson ran into trouble on pit road and finished 17th. Busch, who won the Trucks race on Thursday night after starting on the back row, nearly did it again. He wrecked during qualifying and was forced to go to a backup car. He had little trouble working his way into the top 10 but couldn’t quite find the speed to chase down Harvick and Keselowski, who combined to lead all but 12 of the 200 laps. “I screwed up qualifying today and fenced (the car),” Busch said. “The guys did a great job of putting (the backup car) together and getting it ready just in time ... all in all, we gave it the best we had.” Logano, who won a week ago at Daytona, entered the night 3 for 3 in Nationwide races in Kentucky, but never threatened to make it four straight. He qualified fourth yet couldn’t keep up with the leaders before slipping to 10th when his No. 20 Toyota ran empty. “Our cars aren’t fast enough,” Logano said. “It seemed like me and Kyle were fourth- and fifth-place cars pretty much. I don’t think we were going to try and make something happen, but it was just try to make it on fuel. I tried saving the best I can, but I just didn’t quite make it.” Sorenson saw his points lead slip away thanks to a pit road gaffe when a jack got stuck under his car. Sadler was only too happy to take advantage.

hardt to fend for himself and he ended up 19th after getting caught up in a wreck on the final lap. Frustrating? Yes. Johnson’s fault? Hardly. The move didn’t exactly help him either. Johnson came in 20th. “I figured Jimmie would still have a good opportunity to get up to me and help us and pretty much we were in fine shape until people forgot how to drive or people thought they could disobey the laws of physics or whatever they were trying to do,” Earnhardt said. “The caution was out. It was a good time to go to pit road.” The disappointing night continued a mid-summer swoon by Earnhardt. He’s finished no better than 19th in any of his last three races, dropping him down to seventh in the standings with two months to go before the Chase for the championship begins. AssOciAted pRess It’s hardly time to panic, Jimmie Johnson wades through a sea of hands. but it’s not exactly the direction Earnhardt would like to be going as the series enters the dog days. “I hate what’s happened the last couple weeks,” Earnhardt said. “I have some regrets. Maybe I shouldn’t have beat up the car so much.” And maybe, he allows, his fans shouldn’t beat up so much on Johnson, a recent Twitter convert. “I don’t know if I should be that surprised at anything the fans (say), because they’re passionate you know,” Earnhardt said. “They get it in their minds what they think is right and what they think happened and they get up and run with it.” Johnson was quick to point out that he received plenty of positive feedback from Earnhardt supporters, and declared the decision to pit a non-issue. It didn’t even come up during the weekly Tuesday team-wide call. “It was pretty cut and AssOciAted pRess dry,” Earnhardt said. “It reJimmie Johnson will start fifth at Kentucky speedway tonight. ally didn’t bother me at all.”

Jeter, A-Rod, Victorino out Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Shane Victorino became the latest All-Star scratches, further threatening to turn baseball’s big show into the All-Scar game. Shortly after Jeter pulled himself Friday to rest an injured calf, his New York Yankees teammate joined him. The club announced Rodriguez would be absent because of a sore knee. That made it three Yankees who won’t play for the American League on Tuesday in Phoenix. Closer Mariano Rivera will sit out to heal his right triceps. “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go,” Jeter said before Friday night’s game against Tampa Bay. Earlier in the day, Andre Ethier of the Los Angeles Dodgers replaced injured Shane Victorino of the Philadelphia Phillies in a switch of NL outfielders. New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes previously was excused because of a hamstring

problem that put him on the disabled list. Los Angeles Angels rookie closer Jordan Walden is replacing Rivera. Among those hoping to get in: St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols, who recovered much quicker than expected from a broken wrist. Jeter was two hits away from 3,000 going into Friday night’s game. The 12-time AllStar was elected by fans to start. Jeter came off the disabled list this week after recuperating from his calf problem. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said it was totally Jeter’s decision to skip the All-Star game. Jeter talked it over with Girardi, general manager Brian Cashman and trainer Gene Monahan. “It’s probably best not to push it because it’s most important to be ready for the second half. That’s where my focus has to be,” Jeter said. “It’s unfortunate because you know how much I enjoy going to All-Star games.” “I’m trying to be smart

JETER FroM 1B So where to rank Jeter among all-time shortstops? Among my friends there’s always been an argument as to whether or not Jeter was overrated or properly acclaimed. When the American League had the spectacular shortstop trio of Alex Rodriguez, Nomar Garciaparra and Jeter, then many would have picked Jeter third in that group. Miguel Tejada should have been in that conversation as well with an MVP and a 150-RBI season. But Jeter had more staying power than any of them and is still playing shortstop. It was probably pride that kept him there when the Yankees acquired the superior Rodriguez, but having a constant at shortstop and at the top of the order was worth something. Jeter is the most consistently good shortstop I’ve ever seen, but I never considered him a must-see attraction. I remember going to see Ripken for the first time. Seeing a guy that big and strong with soft hands play the game his way was special. I made it a point to go see second baseman Roberto Alomar when he was in his prime. What an athlete! Omar Vizquel played a much better shortstop than Jeter and is probably considered the second-best defender of alltime at the position behind the wizard Ozzie Smith. Yount was exciting because he was a slugger doing things shortstops had not done much. But Jeter is the one you didn’t want to face in the ninth inning. Jeter is the one

ALEX RODRIGUEZ about it. I know I can be stubborn a lot of times with injuries,” he said. Rodriguez was getting an MRI for knee trouble that had seemingly sapped his power. The 14-time All-Star had been elected to start at third base. Shortly before the decision was announced, Girardi said it was up to Rodriguez. “Alex has to make that choice. Would the rest help him? Probably,” Girardi said. “He’s banged up, he’s played a lot.” Ethier, who had a 30-game hitting streak earlier this season, finished second to Victorino in online fan voting for the last player added to the team. Victorino is on the disabled list because of a strained thumb ligament. “Sometimes you default into things and it’s a good thing to default into,” said Ethier, who will be playing in his hometown of Phoenix. “It’s an honor to get selected by an opposing manager.”

you feared would make a sliding catch in foul territory to keep your best slugger from getting another pitch. I’m sure Jeter failed in the clutch more times than not, but as someone usually rooting for the opponent, it seemed as if Jeter batted 1.000 when a hit would hurt the most. Joe Montana didn’t always lead his team down the field in the final four minutes. He just made it seem like that, especially to his opponents. Jeter was like that. He’d reach out and poke a ball into those short right-field seats. Or he’d foul off six great pitches and then hit a 12-hopper through the infield to bring up the sluggers. I’ve heard guys a lot smarter than me on baseball history rank Ripken ahead of Jeter. The history books tell me Honus Wagner won eight batting titles and six slugging crowns. Joe Cronin also has some backers. I’ve always been on the side that Jeter was properly rated as a star, but perhaps overrated defensively because of the team he played on. But I’m comfortable calling him a top 10 or possibly top five shortstop of all time. My eyes tell me Alex Rodriguez’s best was greater than Jeter could ever reach. But that might be a Bill Russell-Wilt Chamberlain argument. Jeter may never have been the strongest shortstop. Or had the quickest feet or possessed the strongest arm. But his name will always be attached to winning. And the brighter the spotlight, the better he looked. He’s been quite a homegrown treasure for the Yankees and baseball in general. He’s what many of us around here in Texas hope young Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus can become in Arlington.

Peyton Manning has avoided speaking publicly about his new experience as a father or the twins, and reiterated at the camp that he views those matters as private. When asked if the lockout had a good side in terms of the time he got to spend with his infant children, Peyton said, “The lockout hasn’t been good for anybody, I don’t think. The only winners in the lockout have been the lawyers.” Archie Manning beamed when he spoke about seeing his and wife Olivia’s number of grandchildren grow from the three they had from eldest son, Cooper, to six this year. “We doubled our grandchildren, so Olivia and I are very excited,” Archie Manning said. “Cooper’s three we see every day. ... I’m back going to little league games and everything. But for Eli and Peyton both to have their first children — Peyton had two at a time — it’s always exciting. I love grandchildren. It’s underrated.” In May, Peyton and Eli also filmed a TV spot for DirecTV in Brooklyn, a dark comedy about a tandem of police officers who fight criminals with holstered footballs. It was released last month and as of

Bentley never played a game for the Browns after signing a six-year, $36 million contract as a free agent. He tore his left patellar tendon in training camp in 2006, and his career never recovered after the infection. In 2007, Bentley told The Associated Press that he had undergone four operations since getting hurt, the final two to clean out the staph infection, which ate away at his tendon. NO ALBANY FOR GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Albany, N.Y., is the latest loser in the NFL's four-month-old labor lockout. The New York Giants became the third NFL team to cancel their out-oftown training camp when they informed officials at the University at Albany and Mayor Gerald Jennings on Friday morning that they would not be returning this year because of the uncertainty surrounding the league's labor problems. If the players and owners reach a new collective bargaining agreement, the Giants will train at their headquarters in East Rutherford.

“I don’t think it’s going to be this week, but hopefully it will be real, real soon.” When the lockout does end, Peyton Manning and the Colts will likely get back to contract talks. His contract expired after last season, and the Colts put the exclusive franchise tag on him — a move that prevents him from negotiating with other teams. If he signs the one-year deal, he would

make $23 million next season. Both sides appear more interested in reaching an agreement on a longer-term extension, but Manning does not appear interested in discussing the matter much. “I really haven’t had a whole lot of thought on that,” he said. “They’ll be a time and a place to address that once the lockout ends, among other questions.”

Retire to Florida! For over 18 months Mrs. Reinhold had been trying, unsuccessfully, to sell her home on Corriher Ave., so she could retire to Florida, using three different real estate firms in the process. Finally, she decided to give us a call. We met with Mrs. Reinhold and suggested a number of things she could do to increase the probability of her home selling quickly and for the most money. Fortunately, she was able to do everything we suggested in a week. Then, we developed a customized marketing plan for her home--not the typical cookie cutter plan--and placed it on the market. 46 days later we had it under contract for 97% of the asking price and it closed in another 37 days. We were delighted to be able to help Mrs. Reinhold sell her home and retire to Florida. Perhaps you know someone who is thinking about buying or selling a home and might benefit from our advice. If so, have them give us a call so we can help them, too. Why take a chance with anyone else?

this week had been viewed more than 792,000 times on the website YouTube. Both brothers have organized workouts with teammates in an effort to stay as sharp as possible until football resumes. Peyton has kept sessions with Colts teammates private, while Eli has allowed media to observe some of his sessions with Giants receivers, as well as walk-throughs with larger numbers of teammates. “The guys I called came and worked out and we had some good throwing sessions,” Eli said. “We had a week of some full-team (work). ... It was really kind of more for the young guys ... so when we hit training camp we don’t have to start from square one.” Although negotiations between owners and players appear to be progressing, it remains unclear whether training camps will open as scheduled in late July. Peyton Manning, who is one of the players on a classaction antitrust lawsuit intended to end the work stoppage, said he has tired of following the daily negotiations. “I followed it early and it just got so exhausting because every day was the day it was supposed to end, and that was like three months ago,” he said. “I’ve gotten to the point now where I’ve just told (Colts center and players’ representative) Jeff Saturday to call me when I can go back to the facility ...

Busch will start on Kentucky pole Associated Press

AssociAted press

Kyle Busch won the trucks race on Friday.

SPARTA, Ky. — Kyle Busch will be on the pole for the inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway, grabbing the top spot after rain washed out qualifying and the starting order was based on practice times. Juan Pablo Montoya will start second in tonight’s 400-mile race and Kurt Busch will be third. Nearly half of the 48 cars

attempting to make the 43car field got in a qualifying run before a thunderstorm resulted in qualifying to be based on the best laps during Friday’s practice session. The storm kept Kentucky native Michael Waltrip from making the field. He was fourth fastest of the 22 cars that went through qualifying, but those numbers were wiped out and he will miss the race because his top practice speed wasn’t among the 43 fastest.

For real Ragan out to prove win wasn’t a fluke BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

SPARTA, Ky. — David Ragan finally shrugged off the “best NASCAR driver without a Cup victory” tag when he took the checkered flag last weekend in Daytona. T h e win was five seasons and 163 Cup starts in the making, and one that many exRAGAN pected to c o m e sooner when Ragan earned a full-time ride driving the No. 6 car for Roush Fenway Racing in 2007 at the tender age of 21. Ragan was dubbed one of the sport’s “young guns” at the time of his promotion. The gun rarely fired with precision during Ragan’s first four years as he largely toiled in the middle of the pack while teammates Carl Edwards, Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle competed for Cup titles. Yet there was no raucous celebration in Victory Lane after Kenseth pushed Ragan across the finish line in the muggy Florida heat. No overwhelming sense of relief. All that can wait for the winter. If anything, Ragan’s long-awaited breakthrough has only turned the pressure up a notch or three. “We have to make that win count for something,” he said. Namely, a spot in NASCAR’s Chase for the championship this fall. The 25-year-old knows it’s time, perhaps past time, for him to do more than play out the string this fall. His victory vaulted him into one of the two wild-card spots available for the 12-driver Chase with nine races to go before the cutoff. Suddenly, Ragan’s summer got a whole lot interesting. So has NASCAR’s thanks to a mix of new faces and a new place the series hopes will add a little buzz to the dog days. Ragan is the third firsttime Cup winner this year, three more than in 2010 and the season is only 17 races old. “I think it’s because everyone’s so equal, competition is so tight,” said Kyle Busch, who will start from the pole Saturday night in the inaugural Sprint Cup race at Kentucky Speedway. “Everybody has a really good sense of this car right now.”

Keselowski rolls to win BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

SPARTA, Ky. — Brad Keselowski has a special gauge that lets him know how much fuel he has in whatever car he’s driving: His behind. It didn’t fail him Friday night at Kentucky Speedway. The defending NASCAR Nationwide Series champion

used a light touch on the gas pedal over the final miles to pick up his first victory of the season, needing just one tank of fuel to navigate the last 67 laps and beat Kevin Harvick by over a second. Kyle Busch, who started 41st after crashing during qualifying, was third followed by Kasey Kahne and Elliott Sadler.

“If you keep kind of paying in, the machine is going to pay out,” Keselowski said. “If you keep doing the right things long enough, you will be rewarded and today was a day of reward.” And dominance. Keselowski led 132 laps and spent the majority of the race pulling away from the rest of the 43-car field. Har-

vick was the only one able to stay within striking distance, but a late miscue cost him dearly. Both drivers were attempting to stretch their fuel during the lengthy green flag run at the end when Harvick’s crew ordered him to pit only to tell him to stay out at the last second and hope for a caution after another car spun

out. The yellow flag never flew, and Harvick wasted valuable gas getting up to speed while giving Keselowski enough breathing room to survive. “I was as confused as you could have imagined,” Harvick said. “I should have just done what I wanted to do, that

Would you do that this weekend?” Just seconds after her “amen,” Jeff got a text message from his friend Steve Caton. He read it out loud to Christie. “I don’t really want to throw a wrench in to your weekend, but have you guys ever considered England?” Later, Christie says, they would learn that Steve had been praying for months about asking them to consider joining his church-planting team with Reign Ministries. The path began to seem clear. In August, Jeff resigned his position in Grand Haven, and now they’re making final preparations to move to Bicester July 19 with their three children: Misty Grace, 9; Aiden Jeffrey (A.J.), 7; and Kaci Lynae, 2. Jeff and Christie have been to Bicester several times, so they know what to expect. It’s been an interesting journey of faith, Christie says. Along with selling their home, they had to sell about half of their belongings, since they will be living in an apartment

with much less space than they’re used to. Several apartments they planned to rent in Bicester fell through, but they’re happy to have finally secured a place. This past year, they’ve been traveling around the country, meeting with friends and family to get financial support for their mission. Support has come in many different forms, from pledges as small as $10 a month to one as large as $500 a month. Reign Ministries is based out of Minnesota and is known for taking teams of high school students around the world on summer mission trips. Reign U.K. started about 10 years ago with a similar concept of trying to reach youth

and share the gospel, Jeff says. Reign U.K. has grown over the years to six couples. The Lothamers have committed to staying for six years. They plan to return to the U.S. once a year, both to North Carolina and to Michigan, to visit and report on their progress. Various local churches have given the Lothamers support, including Franklin Baptist; First Baptist, Rockwell; Shiloh Reformed Church in Faith and Lyerly Evangelical Church in Rockwell. “We feel supported and embraced by a lot of churches in Salisbury,” Christie says.

Saturday, July 9 There is a good chance that, in coming months, you could end up being part of three different groups of friends for three different purposes or reasons. Each cluster will be involved in something fun that you’ll want to participate in. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Keep outsiders out of your personal affairs, especially those that concern your mate. You’d only make matters worse if you decide to talk things over with your cronies. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If they think they can get away with it, a few malingerers might look to palm off their duties and responsibilities on you. They’d like to make it look like your good work is theirs. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t make it one of those days where, every time you take a strong position, it’s one that’s opposite to the popular view. If this is the case, keep your opinions to yourself. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Regardless of how proud you are of an accomplishment, keep it to yourself. Someone who is jealous of you could try to get others to think of you as a mere braggart. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — It might be smarter to let an unflattering comment that someone says about you go unanswered. You could make matters worse if you decide to make it an issue that needs to be defended. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Trying to shore up a relationship with material things may momentarily work on the surface, but it will be without substance. Strengthen bonds with loving deeds of sincerity. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If both you and a partner use phony means to try to strengthen the arrangement you have with each other, it could end up being a case of the blind leading the blind. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Only true humility is a virtue, while humbling yourself in an unbecoming manner produces nothing but a lack of respect. In reality, you’ll be much more respected by letting your ego emerge. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be careful what you say to a friend about someone whom you greatly dislike. If your remarks are uncomplimentary, your pal may think ill of you and lose all interest. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Be realistic about how much you can accomplish and take on only what you believe you can finish. Anything you leave hanging might have to wait a long time to be completed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Don’t trust to memory any important information that you’ll need to know down the line. In fact, it might be smart to make written notes. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — A friend might look to you to help him or her sort out a complicated affair that he or she finds insurmountable. Unless you’ve had experience in this kind of problem, don’t offer any advice. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Richard M. DeVos, the owner of the Orlando Magic basketball team, said, “Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it’ when things are tough.” This week's deals have been tough -- except for someone used to working everything out at trick one before playing from the dummy. Many players would go down in today’s deal, complain about bad luck, and not even realize that they had erred. South is in four spades. West leads the heart queen. What is the right line of play?

may reduce behavioral problems and hallucinations. Parkinson’s medications reduce tremors, muscle rigidity and more, but may worsen confusion, delusions and hallucinations, making them inappropriate for some patients. Antipsychotic drugs may diminish delusions and hallucinations; however, approximately one-third of Lewy body sufferers are dangerously sensitive to these drugs and may develop permanent damage such as worsening confusion or Parkinson’s symptoms. When possible, it is beneficial to try non-medicinal therapies to help reduce symptoms, such as reducing clutter and distracting noises;, breaking tasks into smaller, easier steps; focusing on success, not failure; creating a structured routine; and having caretakers modify responses, such as not correcting and quizzing, but rather being reassuring and validating concerns. Encouraging exercise,

North responded with a transfer bid. South jumped to four spades to show a maximum with at least four-card spade support. There seem to be at most three losers: two diamonds and one club. But if South takes the first trick, he should go down with this layout. The key is to allow West to win trick one, trading a club loser for a heart loser and keeping East off play so that he cannot lead the diamond queen. Suppose West continues hearts. Declarer wins with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes the heart king (discarding a club from the board), takes dummy's club king and his club ace, ruffs his last club on the board, and leads a trump to West. What can he do? West is endplayed, forced either to lead away from the

ment disorders including a shuffling walk, rigid muscles, slowed movement or tremors. Men over the age of 60 and those who have a family member with Lewy body dementia are at the highest risk of developing condition. The cause isn’t known, but it may be related to Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Lewy bodies are often found in the brains of those with Parkinson’s and other rare forms of dementia that contain a protein associated with Parkinson’s. Sufferers of Lewy body dementia also develop plaques and tangles within the brain that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Treatment involves cholinesterase inhibitors typically prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s medications and antipsychotic drugs. Cholinesterase inhibitors increase levels of neurotransmitters, which can help improve cognition and alertness and

The toughest from a tough week

Symptoms can mimic those of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s. The first sign is often visual hallucinations, which can include seeing shapes, colors, animals and people that aren’t there. In some cases, sufferers may even carry on conversations with deceased friends and family. Other symptoms include delusions, having false ideas about a situation or person, sleep difficulties, fluctuating attention, including long periods of lethargy. Still other symptoms include staring into space, disorganized speech and/or frequent episodes of drowsiness, cognitive problems such as a shortened attention span, memory loss and confusion, and move-

Dear Reader: Lewy body dementia is the second-mostcommon form of progressive dementia following Alzheimer’s disease. It is named because of the development of abnormal round structures (Lewy bodies) within the areas of the brain that control thinking and movement.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have been waiting for a column about Alzheimer’s or a form of dementia like it. My brother has a dementia called Lewy body. I have never heard of this before and hope you can shed some DR. PETER light on this horrible disGOTT ease. He was highly intelligent, and it always amazed me how much his brain stored because no matter how much I try to remember something, it just doesn’t stay. When you look at his face,

Ex-Cameron aide arrested in UK phone hacking scandal LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister David Cameron’s former communications chief and an ex-royal reporter were arrested Friday in a phone hacking and police corruption scandal that has already toppled a major tabloid and rattled the cozy relationship between British politicians and the powerful Murdoch media empire. The 168-year-old muckraking tabloid News of the World was shut down Thursday after being engulfed by allegations its journalists paid police for information and hacked into the phone messages of celebrities, young murder victims and even the grieving families of dead soldiers. Its last publication day is Sunday. The hacking revelations horrified the nation and advertisers, who pulled their ads en masse. News International, the British arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., jettisoned the paper in hopes of

saving its $19 billion deal to take over satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting. But the British government on Friday signaled the deal would be delayed due to the crisis. In what could be an emergency damage-control move, Rupert Murdoch was flying in to London, according to the Financial Times. News International declined comment on the report. Many expressed astonishment that 43-year-old Rebekah Brooks, who was editor of News of the World when some of the hacking allegedly occurred, was keeping her job while the paper’s 200 staff were laid off. The Murdoch group has shown, “an almost maniacal desire to protect Ms. Brooks at all costs,” said industry analyst Claire Enders. Brooks told the paper’s soon-to-be-laid-off staff Friday that she was staying on as chief executive of News International, adding that the pa-

per was “working hard to put our own house in order and do the right thing.” Brooks appeared to hint at revelations to come, telling the journalists that “in a year’s time it’ll become apparent why we did this,” according to a leaked audiotape of the meeting obtained by Sky news. The police investigation into the phone hacking drew uncomfortably close to the prime minister Friday with the arrest of Andy Coulson, Cameron’s once-powerful communications chief and a former editor of News of the World. Coulson, 43, was taken into custody on suspicion of corruption and “conspiring to intercept communications.” Police also arrested Clive Goodman, the former News of the World journalist who served a jail term in 2007 for hacking into the phones of royal aides. This time the arrest was on suspicion of making illegal payoffs to police.

More active weather is expected across the nation on Saturday. A low pressure system moves into central Canada, and pushes a strong trough into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Flow around the trough will push warm and moist air northward from the Gulf of Mexico, thus creating a warm front that will kick up scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day. Rainfall totals will range around an inch, up to 2 inches likely in areas of strong thunderstorm. At the same time, the back side of this system will pull a cold front through the Northern and Central Plains. There is a slight chance that severe storms will develop along this front. Flooding will remain of concern across the North-Central US. In the East, a slow-moving front lingers over the East Coast on Saturday. The system warm and moist system will allow for more showers and thunderstorms to develop, but will shift south over the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern states. Additionally, an area of low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico will push in ample moisture. This will create more heavy rain and severe storms over Florida. Rainfall totals may reach up to 3 inches in some areas. In the West, monsoon moisture over the Southwest brings more thunderstorms to the Four Corners. Flash flooding will remain a threat. Further west, a trough of low pressure over the West Coast will bring slightly cooler temperatures to California and the Pacific Northwest.

Fresh ideas for summer entertaining

(ARA) - Bright flowers are blooming, nights are turning warmer, the days are getting longer: ‘tis the season for outdoor entertaining. Design insiders say you can make summer sizzle by throwing a great dinner party without breaking the bank. Simply start with two sources - your china cabinet and Mother Nature.

“With the higher gas prices and tough economy, many people are looking for ways to dazzle their guests without spending a lot of money,” says Keith Winkler, product marketing manager with Replacements, Ltd., billed as the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. “Start by rethinking how you use your tableware. So many people only use their fine patterns for special occasions and then they’re locked into thinking you can only use a certain piece for its intended purpose. By thinking creatively, you can find so many more uses that aren’t only pretty; but also a great conversation starter.” Winkler says iced tea glasses are perfect for parfaits or fruit salads, while sherbet or champagne glasses are great for serving ice cream or other desserts. Martini glasses make fantastic

shrimp cocktails. And don’t be afraid to use larger serving pieces, such as a punch bowl or soup tureen, for holding bread or buns at a cookout; you can also fill those with ice to chill wine and other drinks.

Think fresh

If you need a little inspiration to get you going, look no further than outside your door. “So many of us work really hard on our flower gardens and unfortunately those tender blossoms just don’t last all that long,” says visual merchandiser Dubravka Vujinovic. “Whether you have large flower beds or just a window box, it’s very easy to let nature be your guide and take advantage of the vibrant seasonal colors and textures by adding flowers and other greenery to your dinner table.” Fill a clear vase with lemons and add water and fresh flowers. You can even use double old fashioned glasses to create floral arrangements for individual place settings. Place smooth stones in the bottom of a clear glass pitcher, and use those to anchor a large fresh flower, such as a Gerber daisy. Fill with water for a fan-

tastic accent - you can even float a candle for evening entertaining.

Plant fresh flowers or herbs in cups and saucers to go around the table or kitchen. This not only adds a splash of fresh green color, herbs are handy for healthy cooking.

Plant flowers or herbs in tea cups for a fresh splash of color.

Another quick summer decorating trick is to place fresh leaves or blossoms flat on a dinner plate, then place a clear glass luncheon or salad plate over the floral design. You can use various colored plates, leaves or flowers to create unique designs for each guest. Arrange candles and flowers or even sand and sea shells on cake stands to use as table centerpieces or accents for any room of your home. Vujinovic says you can easily

give your table a fresh look by simply using colored glass plates, or adding an accent plate you can change seasonally to complement your everyday dinnerware. Hot color trends for summer 2011 include bright vibrant colors such as coral, turquoise and honeysuckle. You can find more of Vujinovic’s design tips on Replacements’ YouTube Channel, or the company’s website, replacements.com.

Press fresh flowers beneath a clear glass plate to create unique floral designs.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS A dismal June employment report shows that employers are adding nowhere near as many jobs as they normally do this long after a recession has ended. Unemployment has climbed for three straight months and is now at 9.2 percent. There’s no precedent, in data going back to 1948, for such a high rate two years into what economists say is a recovery. The economy added just 18,000 jobs in June. That’s a fraction of the 90,000 jobs economists had expected and a sliver of the 300,000 jobs needed each month to shrink unemployment significantly. Americans took on more debt in May and used their credit cards more for only the second time in nearly three years. Consumers stepped up their borrowing just as the economy began to slump and hiring slowed. The Federal Reserve said Friday that consumer borrowing rose by $5.1 billion in May, the eighth straight monthly increase. It followed a revised gain of $5.7 billion in April. Borrowing in the category that covers credit cards increased, as did borrowing in the category for auto and stu-

dent loans. The overall increase pushed consumer borrowing to a seasonally adjusted annual level of $2.43 trillion in May. That was just 1.7 percent higher than the nearly four-year low of $2.39 trillion hit in September. Borrowing is a sign of confidence in the economy. Wholesale companies added to their stockpiles for a 17th straight month in May but their sales declined for only the second time in the past 11 months, providing further evidence of the economy’s spring slowdown. The Commerce Department said wholesale inventories rose 1.8 percent in May, the biggest gain since October. Some of that increase reflected an unwanted buildup of goods because sales declined. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 62.29, or 0.5 percent, to The Nasdaq 12,657.20. Composite dropped 12.85, or 0.4 percent, to 2,859.81. The Standard and Poor’s 500 Index fell 9.42 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,343.80. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for August delivery gave up $2.47, or 2.5 percent, to settle at $96.20 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
