‘HE’S MY MIRACLE BABY’

Stricken with a lifetime of disabilities, 10-year-old beats the odds

OLD HILL — Whenever people speak of 10-yearold Bradley Hill, they usually mention the word “miracle” in the same sentence. You see what they’re talking about when Bradley expertly steers a fourwheeler through his grandparents’ front yard. It’s evident when you watch him catch and hit tennis balls from a kneeling position. He has a heckuva arm. MARK Bradley WINEKA shucks corn and snaps beans with the best of us. He loves to listen to his MP3 player and sings his heart out to Kenny Chesney songs. He fishes at the Hill family pond and laughs when the preacher strikes out during church softball. By all counts, Bradley has endured some 60 surgeries in his life. He wears the scars all over his body — across his back, in his scalp, on his face, over his belly and down his legs. All his food — even favorites such as hamburgers, chicken and pizza — has to be blended and free of lumps. He’s what is called an “aspirator,” prone to have food get into his respiratory tract if it’s not blended completely. He can’t drink water without a thickening agent. Bradley has to be catheterized every three hours, to remove the bodily fluids he can’t rid himself. He has no feeling in his legs below the knees. In addition, he copes with hip dysplasia — the ball and socket don’t make a good connection on one side — and his legs automatically cross at the ankles when you pick him up. Bradley’s spine bows out a
SALISBURY — Police were investigating Sunday after an 18-year-old man was shot in the leg after an “unruly” late-night party in downtown Salisbury. The Salisbury Police Department responded to a call about fights near the 300 block of North Lee Street — just around the corner from the police station — about 11:20 p.m. Saturday. The gunfire erupted moments before officers were going to use tear gas to disperse the crowd of teenagers and young adults at the party in the Black Box Theater, located at the intersection of North Lee and East Kerr streets, said Sgt. Mark Hunter with the Salisbury Police Department. Hunter said there was no security officer present to keep the large party under control. “There were a lot of unruly individuals leaving the establishment upon our arrival,” he said. “I would estimate about 150 to 200 kids were out there when we arrived on the

Bradley’s cleft lip and palate have been repaired — the palate over years of inch-byinch operations. His tongue is split, and he has a 5-second delay in normal swallowing. His hypersensitive gag reflex makes him sick if he sees something as innocent as his dad, Scott, putting on shaving cream. Twice Scott Hill saved Bradley’s life with CPR, once when he was 6 months old, and again when he was 3. When he was born, Bradley had spina bifida and the cleft palate. He underwent his first operation for the congenital defect of the spine before he was a full day old. Doctors told Scott and Sandy Hill their first son would be lucky to see age 5. But here he is, twice that age and full of life. Elaine Gilland calls Bradley Liberty United Methodist Church’s “miracle child,” because the congregation has watched him tackle his days with the best of dispositions and family support. “I’ve always told him he’s my
miracle baby,” Sandy Hill adds. “He is a child who has been through so much, but he never lets anything keep him down. He can be in a hospital and near death, but put him back in his own environment, and he just lights up. “I’ve been through every surgery with him, and that’s just the way he is.” In recent years, Scott and Sandy Hill have separated, but they remain vigilant in Bradley’s care, supported by many family members, including grandparents Jerry and Brenda Hill. Bradley has flourished over the past year in being homeschooled by Brenda. The family likes to call their school — Brenda works with Bradley five hours a day — the Hillville Academy. Bradley tried public school environments for several years, including stints at Morgan and Shive elementaries. But homeschooling has helped the most from a health standpoint. In public schools, he constantly was catching colds and trying to stave off pneumonia, Sandy Hill thinks the homeschooling has possibly bought extra time for Bradley. “You

WASHINGTON (AP) — Grasping for a deal on the nation’s debt, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders remained divided Sunday over the size and the components of a plan to reduce long term deficits. Saying “we need to” work out an agreement over the next 10 days, the president and lawmakers agreed to meet again today. Obama also sought to use the power of his office to sway public opinion, scheduling a news conference for this morning, his second one in less than two weeks devoted primarily to the debt talks. Officials familiar with the meeting said Obama OBAMA pressed the eight House and Senate leaders Sunday evening to continue aiming for a massive $4 trillion deal for reducing the debt. But there appeared to be little appetite for such an ambitious plan and the political price it would require to pass in Congress. Instead, House Speaker John Boehner told the group that a smaller package of about $2

Piedmont Passages: Stoneman burned supplies in Salisbury Editor’s note: The late George Raynor was managing editor of the Salisbury Post for 30 years and editor for eight years before retiring in 1982. This essay appeared in the Post on April 13, 1983. ee had surrendered three days earlier in Virginia and Confederate Gen. Joseph Johnston soon would to General Sherman at Durham. But the telegraph lines were severed, and Salisbury was unaware of the surrender. Editor GEORGE J.J. Bruner RAYNOR had written in The Daily Carolina Watchman of April 11 that “the

most extravagant of all the many rumors was that Gen. Lee and his staff had been captured.” Probably Gen. Stoneman knew of this. If so, he didn’t let it deter him, for the war was not over yet and he was determined to put out what sparks of rebellion might glow, even faintly. That morning of April 12, 1865, must have had much in common with April 1983. It had been raining heavily; the Rev. A.W. Mangum wrote on March 20 that “The mud here has been enormous. It together with the clouds and rains is enough to make anyone sigh for a quiet country home where he can get out of view of this sea of mud and water.” And certainly the woods and yards, as today, were full of dogwood bloom and wild flowers. Today’s forecast 92º/72º Partly cloud as hot weather hits
Small though Salisbury was, it had fine homes and elms that arched over its streets. But there could have been no joy of the season for Salisbury as that day dawned.
Rumors fly Couriers, travelers and rumors, seemingly self-fueled, had reached Salisbury telling of the advance of Stoneman’s troops. And they were not exaggerated: Stoneman’s raiders were moving out on the dirt road that led to Salisbury. The time the advance reached South River is not recorded in the Union account; Margaret Beall Ramsay’s later reminiscences suggest it was early: “At last the sun rose but as its beams struggled through the morning mist, they brought little

ease to our broken spirits. After eating a hasty breakfast, I gathered my children about me, went to my bedroom on the second story, sat down at a front window and was watching and waiting breathlessly when the storm of Stoneman’s cavalry, numbering 4,000 swooped down upon us. That was April 12, three days after Lee’s surrender at Appomattox.” Gen. Alvan Gillem’s detailed account reports Col. John K. Miller’s brigade met no opposition from a few Confederates on the banks of the South River. He fails to mention how the cavalry crossed the river, but a ford was the most likely way. Once across, the troops had a choice of two routes to Salisbury. The new road (now

U.S. 601 through Franklin) or the old Mocksville highway which then, as now, joins the “new” road about a half mile from the river. The main forces chose the new road while a battalion of Kentucky cavalrymen was sent to create a diversion at Grants Creek, presumably where the old road still crosses the creek near Overton School. Stoneman sent three other units still farther down Grants Creek. But the main thrust along with new road was the only one that met opposition. The Confederates’ artillery and infantry fired on the advancing Yankees, obviously not effectively. The defenders had removed floor boards from two spans of the bridge. Once Yankees had relaid the

flooring, Colonel Miller’s troops charged across and the engagement was at an end. The defenders scattered, many hiding themselves in thick woods that stood between Grant’s Creek and Salisbury, probably in the Catawba College area.
Weak defense One Salisburian later gave an unfavorable opinion of the quality of the defensive forces. She wrote: “As to the fight two and a half miles from Salisbury — ’tis all a myth. The highest estimate of our troops is eight hundred — some reckon the number 200 fewer — ! ‘Twas a motley crowd — a hundred or more Virginians who happened to be here en route for

YESTERDAY: Science boost Rowan County’s first artificially bred calf was born to a heifer owned by W. H. Wetmore and his son, W.a. Wetmore, of Woodleaf. In this photograph, which appeared in the Salisbury Post Oct. 24, 1948, W.a. Wetmore stands on the right, and E. Whitfield Graham, technician for the artifical breeding program is at left, posing with the cow and this first calf born in Rowan by artificial insemination. W. M. West of the Cedargrove Dairy had Rowan’s second calf artificially bred. The Rowan artificial Breeding association was organized and began operation Jan. 6, 1948. County agent P.J. Satterwhite said at the time the group was a nonprofit, cooperative making the services of proven, registered bulls available to all dairymen. Semen for the breeding was purchased from the Southeastern artificial Breeding association of asheville and shipped to Rowan every morning to a laboratory in the courthouse. Dairymen had the choice of Guernsey, Jersey or Holstein breeding.

SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was arrested late Sunday night after authorities say he led them on a brief chase at speeds up to 140 miles per hour on a motorcycle. Aaron Kyle Sifford, 23, walked away after losing control of the bike on an off-ramp. He was charged with felony speeding to elude police. A Rowan County sheriff’s deputy said he saw Sifford pop a wheelie of the bike while coming out of the Cookout on Innes Street about 10:45 p.m. When the deputy tried to stop him, Sifford sped onto southbound Interstate 85. The deputy pursued, but he quickly called off the chase
when the motorcycle reached 140 miles per hour. Soon after that, Sifford apparently tried to exit at Julian Road, about 2 miles down the interstate, said Trooper Eric Perdue. He apparently overshot the curve on the ramp and the bike slid nearly 100 feet before landing in a deep, grassy ditch. Deputies found Sifford walking nearby, Perdue said, and Sifford was taken to the county magistrate’s office for booking. The 2008 Yamaha motorcycle sustained some damage but appeared to be operational. It was hauled away from the scene.

nce again, I have someone who works out very hard ask me why they are not losing
fat. The majority of the time, people are eating too much. Too many calories in and not enough calories out. However, not eating enough calories while exercising hard creates a situation in which your body does not like to lose fat. Fat is a wonderful energy source. ESTER It does not use any MARSH energy while “sitting” there, but can be used as energy. When the body does not get enough calories for the work it does, it goes into “survival mode.” It will try to use the least amount of calories possible, burning muscles for energy when necessary. Isn’t that something? You have to eat to lose fat? Well, what happens when your car does not have any gas? Nothing. Look at your body that way. When you do not put the right foods into it, the right amount of calories, it will not “run” very well. And you wouldn’t put oil in your gas tank right? A government website, www.choosemyplate.gov will give you a world of knowledge about which foods you should be eating and what are appropriate serving sizes. Typically, about 1,500 calories are needed each day for a female and about 2,000 calories for a male.
Of course, that changes with activity levels, age, size of the person and weight, just to name a few. But the fact that your body needs good calories to function properly is a given. Your body is your temple and you need to take care of it. Too much unhealthy food and calories are bad. Not enough calories for a body in need is also not good for you. And your body will try to survive and hold on to the fat and use your hard earned muscles for energy instead. What? All that work for my body to burn it again? If you are struggling with weight loss, you know you are eating few calories, and exercise regularly, then not eating enough calories might be your problem. For one week, write down everything you eat and drink. Every piece of candy, soft drink, sausage biscuit and so on. Go to www.choosemyplate.gov and sign up for free. You can enter all your data each night, or when the week is over. It will place all items eaten in the correct food groups and will show you a graph. You will be very surprised. It will show you that you might eat a lot more calories than you think you are eating or actually show you that your calorie intake is below your needs. It will even show you if you do not use all your food groups (another problem) Of course you can continue this and www.choosemyplate.gov keeps all your data for up to a year. Good luck, and keep that “car” running well! Ester H Marsh ACSM Cpt

PARTY FROM 1a scene.” Hunter said the crowd was spilling into adjacent parking lots and streets, blocking traffic. Police tried to clear the streets and break up several fights, he said, but the crowd wouldn’t disperse. Hunter said he was about to deploy tear gas around 11:40 p.m. when he heard three or four gunshots. “The shots came from a moving vehicle,” he said. “It appeared to be some type of black truck or SUV.” An 18-year-old man was shot in the upper leg, receiving an injury described as non-lifethreatening. The teen’s name was not released due to the ongoing police investigation. “The victim in this incident is trying to remember anything he can,” Hunter said. “We’re working as many leads as we can as they come in.” He said the vehicle was driving north on Lee Street — toward Innes Street — when someone inside opened fire. It’s not clear whether anyone fired at the occupants of the vehicle, he said. Two teenagers were detained Saturday night and charged with resisting, obstructing or delaying a public officer. Police say they ran from the area of the shooting and did not stop when ordered to halt. Police ask that anyone with information about the incident Saturday is encouraged to call the Salisbury Police Department at 704638-5333. Callers can remain anonymous.

RALEIGH (AP) — Americans are taught that judges are the final referees in legal disputes. But that’s often not the case when your beef is with a North Carolina state government agency. In the obscure realm of administrative law, a state department can disregard the ruling of special judges who rule on grievances involving fired employees, fined lobbyists, expanding hospitals and refused Medicaid treatment, and rule its own way. In many cases, “the agency really gets to have a second bite of its own decision,” said Jack Nichols, a Raleigh attorney who has represented clients in more than 100 cases that went before administrative law judges. Urged on by outside groups, the General Assembly backed a bill last month that would turn most rulings of administrative law judges into final decisions that couldn’t be modified or rejected by an agency, as they can now. Although agencies and aggrieved parties could still appeal decisions to the traditional court system, Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue vetoed the measure because she said state attorneys believe the change would be unconstitutional. “While I wholeheartedly support the General Assembly’s desire to pass laws aimed at reforming our bureaucracy, those laws have to be balanced and meet constitutional standards,” Perdue said in her veto message. This bill, she said, “fails this test.” Senators returning to work this week after a month away from Raleigh are likely to vote to override the veto of the bill, which also contains significant restrictions on the rulemaking authority of agencies. A House override vote later this month should be closer. Support for strengthening the judges has joined many Democrats and the State Employees Association of North Carolina with Republicans. They say the executive branch has had too much power and little reason to compromise under current rules. “I like a situation where anyone who is under threat from the state — where they be a big person or a little person — they’re entitled to a fair and impartial hearing,” said Sen. Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, a longtime proponent of administrative law reform. He voted for the measure and wanted to hear from Perdue’s office before deciding on the override. “When an agency knows it can ignore the judge, what incentive is there to try and find justice and fairness?” Leaders of state agencies and commissions that currently have the final say-so in what are called contested cases argue they have expertise with the law and areas they regulate. Giving administrative law judges more authority would erode their power and hand judicial power to the executive branch of government. “The body that has adopted those rules and understands why they were adopted will not have a say in the process if the administrative law judge (ruling) is final,” said Derb Carter, director of the Southern Environmental Law Center’s office in Chapel Hill. His office has participated in contested cases in recent years, including one challenging a state air quality permit for Duke Power’s Cliffside power plant in Rutherford County. Administrative law judges started in 1986, when the General Assembly created a quasi-judicial independent tribunal designed to umpire conflicts between state government and citizens and businesses. Agencies used to have a designated employee work out disagreements, but lawmakers didn’t like that the same agency investigating a conflict later ruled on it as well. The Office of Administrative Hearings has usually received more than 2,000 petitions annually, although the number has spiked recently because of a flood of requests from Medicaid patients denied services. Administrative judges hold hearings before making decisions. A 2001 law required agen-

Sidelined by typical childhood illnesses The run-of-the-mill childhood illnesses are a common sharing among a child and his friends. A stomach virus, cold, chickenpox, etc., tends to narrow a child’s world down to the immediateness of his bed, allowing him to spend a little, slower-paced “quality sicktime” with MACK himself, alWILLIAMS though the things contemplated by a child in his sick bed during that time are of a very different nature and less “weighty” than the contemplations of an old man in his. During Napoleon’s final illness on the island of St. Helena, he remarked of the satisfaction he felt when lying in his bed and surveying that space upon which he was resting, of which he felt that he had complete dominion ( a much narrower space than that which was previously under his dominion). The illness that frequented me most often in childhood was chronic earache, for which “sweet oil” would be administered into my ear, and I would receive some easing of the pain by lying
with the affected ear on a heating pad. I didn’t know then that “sweet oil” was olive oil. Not knowing that, it seemed strange to me back then that the “sweet oil” was being placed somewhere in which there was no sensory organ equipped to gauge its “sweetness.” After the earache had run its course, I would stuff cotton in my ear to guard its inner recesses from ambient breezes which might, by chance, travel that route and set off the pain again. The science museum where I work is frequented by many children, and whenever a child passes through with that cotton “earmark,” I know what he has most recently been through, and I feel true empathy with him. On one occasion, in the early 1960s, my earache was so bad that my parents took me to Dr. Little, the Salisbury ear, nose, and throat specialist. His office was located in that “little village” of doctors’ offices surrounding what then was referred to as Rowan Memorial Hospital. The layman’s term for that procedure which Dr. Little performed on me was getting one’s ear “opened,” which sounded a lot less frightening than what it truly was : getting the eardrum
“lanced” to relieve the swelling due to infection, allowing the built-up fluid to drain. When Dr. Little performed the procedure, the sharpest and most pointed pain occurred for a split second, followed by peaceful relief, with no trace of pain remaining. That day, it was as if my ear had experienced the pain of death, and after that pain’s cessation, it had traveled down that oft-spoken-of “corridor of light” to a place of peace and aural bliss, and returned, but I have no memory of what it may have heard there. I was getting over another earache about the time of the Cuban missile crisis. That earache, which was bad enough, was then followed by several days of nervous stomach in contemplation of “the bomb.” I was also visited by a few of the garden-variety stomach viruses, and at those times, Campbell’s cream-of chicken-soup was always the first item in the realm of solid food that I could handle, prefaced by such liquids as ginger ale or Seven-Up. For me, chicken soup’s benefit to the weakened stomach has always outweighed its benefit to the soul. I had chicken pox once,
and the measles once, each of them producing their own natural vaccine within me to prevent their recurrence (would that earaches, stomach viruses, and the common cold did the same). I remember my mother keeping the blinds closed when I had the measles, since the eyes are very sensitive to the light at that time. I couldn’t go outside into the sunlight and, of course, my peers were prevented from visiting me. Since my mother was born in 1911, she told me of the quarantines generated by the world-wide pandemic “Spanish Flu,” so my mostly bed-ridden situation at the time seemed to be best described by that (without the benefit of the quarantine sign on the front door!). Of all those childhood ailments, I’m most glad that I “grew out of” those horrible earaches, as most people affected by them do. Perhaps, as I got older, the amount of space in my head increased, allowing my ear canals more area with which to drain and function properly. Come to think of it, even now, 50 years later as I continue to age, the amount of empty space within my head still sometimes seems to be on the increase!
Catawba welcomes new music director, artist Catawba College News Service
SALISBURY — When the new academic year begins, the Catawba College Music Department will welcome a new Director of Choral Music and an Artist-in-Residence. Justin Hazelgrove will be Catawba’s new Director of Choral Music, and Christina Pier, will be a Catawba Artistin-Residence. College Provost, Dr. Rick Stephens, announced the appointments July 8.
Justin Hazelgrove Hazelgrove, a doctoral candidate at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, currently serves as assistant conductor of both Bel Canto Company and the UNC Greensboro Chamber Singers in Greensboro. He hopes to complete his doctoral work next May. “We are very fortunate to welcome Justin to our Music Department,” Stephens noted. “He is a fine and experienced conductor and an accomplished baritone soloist. He will bring energy, enthusiasm and new ideas to the department. He is also eager to add to the fine choral offerings that Professor Paul Oakley helped us put in place at Catawba over the past four years.” Stephens noted that Oakley had submitted his resignation from Catawba last week, and that students and faculty of the Music Department had been notified. At the same time, Music Department Chair, Dr. David Fish, and Dean of the Shuford School of Performing Arts, Dr. Barry Sang, began an immediate search of Catawba’s extensive network of music professionals to seek an interim replacement. “The speed with which Dr. Fish and Dr. Sang were able to locate and engage Justin is a credit to the overall reputation that Catawba music has achieved in recent years,” Stephens said. “Our intent was to have personnel in place before the start of the new academic year, both in the interests of returning students as well as new students arriving in Aug. I believe we

At The College of William and Mary, he was the recipient of numerous scholarships based on his excellent academic record and his excellence in music study and performance. He was awarded his Master of Music degree from UNC Greensboro in 2008, and while there received a competitive tuition waiver and stipend for his doctoral study. Hazelgrove was named a Regionalist in 2010 NCNATS competition. During a Meet and Greet event on campus July 8, Hazelgrove expressed excitement about his new role at Catawba College and the fact that it will allow him to continue to conduct and teach a wide range of musical genres. “I realize that Catawba offers many diverse types of music — from gospel to contemporary — and I applaud that and welcome the opportunity to be part of the continuing diversity.”
Christina Pier Pier is a familiar face to vocal students at Catawba College. She joined the voice faculty at the College in fall of 2008 as an adjunct instruc-

Police say Jonathan Kendrell Boddie was killed at 9:30 a.m. Friday. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say Boddie and a second suspect forced a man sitting in a car outside the house to go inside, where they started beating him. The woman inside the house told police she pulled out her gun and started shooting. The man who was beaten did not have life-threatening injuries.

Our student body is vastly talented, and has an extraordinary work ethic. Our faculty is worldclass, and maintains strong connections to the performing arts world, both nationally and internationally. We are dedicated to furthering Catawba’s standard of excellence.

Successful rodeo concludes on Saturday The First Annual Livengood Family Rodeo closed out a successful weekend Saturday night after battling weather on Friday night. Friday night’s events were completed Saturday afternoon, and the regularly scheduled events had perfect weather Saturday night. The rodeo was held at Livengood Arena on Redmond Road near Cleveland. Organizers Allen and Sharon Livengood of the 5L Rodeo Company couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. “We couldn’t have had such a successful rodeo without family, friends, neighbors and rodeo fans. The weather didn’t
cooperate on Friday night, and it left us a little worried. But we had standing room only on Saturday night, the Livengoods said. It was a great first event, and we are already looking forward to 2012. We had great sponsors who had a huge part in the successful rodeo. The audience sure let us know that they were glad to have rodeo back.” Sponsors for the event were Jacob’s Western Store, Peak Performance Chiropractic, Cleveland Drug Company, Carolina Farm Credit, Warren West Cellular Sales, Los Tres Jinetes Mexican Restaurant and Hodge Farms.

Oxendine takes another swing at Catawba SALISBURY — When Joe Oxendine came to Catawba College the first time in 1948, he was an 18-year-old Lumbee Indian who had just spent a year working at a Detroit automobile factory making and saving money to put himself undergraduate through school. When Oxendine returned to Catawba this past March, he was an 81-year-old man, retired after a long and successful career in academia. He came back to his alma mater at the request of Catawba’s Board of Trustees to serve as president until the Board could find Catawba a new leader.
The first time
While Oxendine enjoyed athletic pursuits, academic pursuits led to his professional calling. After graduating from Catawba in 1952 and while playing baseball in the minor leagues, he earned his master’s of education degree from Boston University in

I came back and felt like we grew the university — establishing recognition for colleges within the university — and we grew the student body. So, I felt like I did a good job there. It was satisfying in that I was at an academic institution. I found that there is a commonality in academic institutions — you deal with many of the same issues — issues of faculty, curriculum, budgets and athletics.” Oxendine served as chan-

While Beason appealed the case to Wake County court, where a hearing was expected this week, not everyone can afford a costly legal battle. Perdue’s office cited a 1999 advisory opinion by then-Attorney General Mike Easley’s office in defending the veto and another one last month on a bill involving Medicaid service provider restrictions. Others point to a 1997 Court of Appeals ruling to support the bill’s intent.
Richard Whisnant, a professor at the University of North Carolina’s School of Government in Chapel Hill, said the bright line dividing executive and legislative branch functions when it comes to administrative law hasn’t been fully litigated. Whisnant said agencies have a responsibility to act on subjects under their authority: “There does come a point where the executive branch, in my view, has the right to say ... we’re going to make our decision.”

judges against an agency last year were ultimately rejected by the agency, the hearings office said. In one high-profile case, Secretary of State Elaine Marshall fined lobbyist Don Beason $100,000 last year for failing to tell regulators about companies he was representing. An administrative law judge reduced the fine to $6,000. But Marshall raised the fine back to $30,000 in April, writing that the judge didn’t give enough attention to her office’s investigation.

ans do at Thanksgiving. “She (the reporter) came out to our house and I showed her my pumpkin patch in the backyard, but the pumpkins were puny. To get impressive pictures for the newspaper, she sent her photographer out to the store to buy several big pumpkins to put amongst the vines. “She asked me what Indians did at Thanksgiving,” Oxendine recounted. “I told her they have a feast and that we always cooked a big hen, had sweet potatoes, field peas, turnips and that sort of thing. We didn’t make an effort to go back to Puritan times or anything like that, but we did relish eating a big meal and a big fat hen is what we had. Indians, I told her, are ordinary people living ordinary lives. “I didn’t make a career out of being an Indian. People back home scolded me occasionally for not coming back there to ‘help my people,’ and I told them my people were at Temple. Some people may have resented me going away from Pembroke, but I had ambitions and things I want-
Still, home was always important to Oxendine despite the many years he lived away from his native North Carolina and his hometown of Pembroke. When he had a chance to take a job as chancellor of UNC Pembroke (formerly Pembroke Indian Normal School), it was one he did not pass up. “My children grew up in Philadelphia, but I always think of Pembroke as my home and I would say often to my wife, Adrienne, ‘Come Thanksgiving, we’re going to go home, or at Christmas, we’ll go home.’ She would chide me and say, ‘No, your real home is here.’ But I wanted my children to think of Pembroke as home, but I’m not sure they’ve ever felt of it as home like I do. “It is kind of like you hear about the Indian who leaves the community and there’s a rubber band attached to his back that always gets you to come back. Sometimes that rubber band is so tight that it never lets you get away to do things and explore things. Most of us who do get away thought we could stay away for a while, but always come back for Christmas, the 4th of July, Homecoming and Thanksgiving. “The Oxendines, our extended family, take every opportunity to be together. The closeness is something I pride a lot. I grew up as close to my cousins as my family — we all lived within three miles of each other — and I want my children to have the same level of devotion to their extended family.” “After I had been at Temple for 30 years, an opening

1953. After serving in the U.S. Army from 1953-1955 in Korea and Hawaii, he worked as a teacher and athletic coach in the Lynchburg Public Schools in Virginia between 1955 and 1957. He then became a Teaching Fellow at Boston University between 1957 and 1959 while he earned his doctorate of education from there in 1959. For 30 years, between 1959 and 1989, he served as dean and professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. “I had grown up in a cloistered, Indian community. We did not associate with whites or blacks. I had had no acquaintance with black kids, and then I go to Temple and I had a diverse group of students — from the Middle East, the Far East and there were black kids. I learned to appreciate diversity for the first time.” At Temple, Oxendine found his true calling. “There’s no higher position at a university or college than being a professor and I think that that’s what I am most proud of.” There, he conducted research, published scholarly papers, won teaching awards and research grants, and even wrote two books. He was also frequently asked to lecture to organizations on the history and present-day status of American Indians. “You know, I never denied or rejected that I was Indian and everyone knew that I was Indian. Ordinary people have a curiosity about Indians and they want a real Indian to talk to them about them.” He recalled one Thanksgiving season when he was sought out by the “Philadelphia Evening Bulletin” to do a story about what real Indi-

“My dad wanted me to stay home and go to that little small, local school, Pembroke Indian Normal School. I could go there for almost nothing and come back home and plow the fields and pick the cotton, but I viewed that as just an extension of high school,” Oxendine remembered. “I decided I would go away to school, but realized that my father with eight children could not afford to send us off to college. I said I’d do it on my own. “At age 17, I went to Detroit city to work in an automobile factory for a year, making Ford body parts. I made money like you would not believe. I had never made more than $2 a day on the farm and there I was making $1.27 an hour. After a year, I came home, sat down in the living room, took off my shoes and took 17 $100 bills out of my socks — storing it there was my way of avoiding loss or theft of my money.” Oxendine was admitted to Catawba in the spring of 1948. He had heard about Catawba’s extraordinarily successful football team, coached by Gordon Kirkland. He aspired to play on that team. “I was not a terribly good student from a mediocre Indian high school and I was probably a mediocre athlete at the time. I had potential, but I had not been skilled in football — we just played pick-up games in high school. But, I arrived believing I could play football here. I went out for the team, they tolerated me, but I didn’t impress them. “When it came time to dress out for the game, we had 66 players on the field, a very impressive number for a small college back then. Those 66 players did not include me. It was embarrassing. Others who didn’t get a uniform quit, but I kept practicing and all season, I did not get to dress for a game. I practiced with the team for spring practice and the next year, I did get a uniform and by the end of the season, I was playing a lot. My third and fourth year, I was a starter. I had potential, but it took a while to develop.” Oxendine had potential and a stick-to-it attitude that served him well at Catawba and in his career. As a freshman, he tried out for Catawba’s baseball team as well, but he didn’t make it or get a uniform. During his second year, he did make that team and become a starter, serving as its captain and leading hitter. After his senior year, he signed with the Pittsburg Pirates and played on their minor league team for three years.
cellor of UNC Pembroke from 1989-99. During his tenure there, the institution changed its name from Pembroke State University, its Carnegie Foundation classification to Comprehensive I, and its athletic conference from NAIA to NCAA II. New degree programs were also added under Oxendine’s leadership, including a RN-BSN nursing program (offered jointly with Fayetteville State University), an MBA program, MA degrees in Agency Counseling and School Counseling, and bachelors degrees in Criminal Justice, Community Health Education, American Studies, Mass Communications, and Birth-Kindergarten. The landscape of the UNC Pembroke also changed during this period, with new, expanded, and renovated buildings, and an increase in student diversity. He had been retired for almost 12 years as chancellor emeritus from UNC Pembroke, when Catawba College sought him for its president. He returned to his undergraduate alma mater this spring with fond memories, a strong sense of humor and a solid work ethic. “I’m not a complex person. I want people to respect me and to believe that I’m working very hard to protect this college and to project it to the very highest level. I will feel best about myself if Catawba looks better a year from now than it does now. “The truth is I don’t spend a lot of time speculating on my image. I do my job. I want people to know that I have values, that I’m a spiritual person, that I am honest and care for people,” Oxendine concluded with a calm, experienced smile on his face. “I want good things — to elevate the goodwill and the spirit of people I come in contact with.”

MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — The Army Corps of Engineers is beginning some dredging operations near Morehead City. Officials say the Corps is beginning dredging Sunday at the North Carolina State Port Docks, the Radio Island Barge Docks and the Aviation Fuel Docks. Operations run through Oct. 31, and officials hope the project will restore the harbor to a projected depth of 35 to 45 feet, depending on the location. Authorities urge people in the area to remove all fishnets, crab-pots and structures before the work starts. Dredge operators remind boaters to call 30 minutes before passage and stay clear of the dredge, barges, derricks and operating wires.

SANFORD (AP) — Authorities say a 63-year-old Wake Forest woman driving the wrong way on U.S. 1 in Sanford struck an SUV head-on, killing herself and a 46-yearold father. State troopers say Joyce Lorraine Tubbs merged onto U.S. 1 from an exit ramp and started driving her GMC Envoy north in the southbound lanes about 3 p.m. Saturday. Troopers say Tubbs was driving 65 mph when she hit a Chevrolet SUV. Witnesses said the Chevrolet overturned and burst into flames. Tubbs and the Chevy driver, David Earl Spears of Rockingham, died at the scene. Spears’ wife and 13-year-old son were riding with him and were treated and released from the hospital. Troopers say they’re still investigating the wreck but think it happened because Tubbs was unfamiliar with the area.

RAIDERS
Supplies burned They had to see to the assembling of mountains of supplies that were piled up along Main Street to be burned the next day. Tradition says the raiders permitted the poor to take from the pile such necessities as clothing and blankets; others say these items were salvaged from the fire. In any event, the fire undoubtedly was the largest in Salisbury’s history. General Gillem listed these supplies as having been burned: 10,000 stand of arms, 1,000,000 rounds of small ammunition, 10,000 pounds of artillery ammunition, 6,000 pounds of powder, 75,000 uniforms, 250,000 English blankets, 20,000 pounds of leather, 3 magazines, 6 depots, 10,000 bushels of corn, 6,000 bushels of bacon, 100,000 pounds of salt, 20,000 pounds of sugar, 27,000 pounds of rice, 10,000 pounds of salt peter, 50,000 bushels of wheat, 80 barrels of turpentine, $15,000 in Confederate money, and medical stores worth $100,000. The giant bonfire was the source of the light that flickered over Salisbury through the night. That light was reportedly seen from as far away as Statesville and The Post in later years published an eyewitness account of the flames from a man in Woodleaf. They didn’t burn ol’ Salisbury down that night, but many of its largest buildings were converted to cinders. This included the notorious prison camp, surely a deserved burning and one that must have given the raiders great satisfaction. Determined that Confederates would have no access to buildings to resume manufacturing of armaments after they left, Stoneman’s troops fired the foundry, a steam distillery, an arsenal, ordnance warehouses, the railroad buildings of the Central and Western roads, including the large office building, a big passenger shed, a car shed, two freight shops and a machine shop.

Christine Lagarde, the first woman to head the lending institution, said in an interview broadcast Sunday that it would cause interest rates to rise and stock markets to fall.

First Lady Betty Ford: An American role model T
here are many United States First Ladies who will go down in history for a lot of things worth noting, but one of my favorites is Betty Ford, a divorcee who married Gerald Ford, an up-and-coming politician a few years younger. Mrs. Ford did not truly appreciate then Ford’s political muster, which would see him become the first unelected vice president, as well as president. As a previous detoxification director, I can appreciate the significance of Betty Ford’s willingness to confront the issues surrounding her ADA abuse of prescription FISHER medications. Her seeking treatment led to society’s wider acceptance of substance abuse as something that could for some be ameliorated by rehabilitation. An advocate for issues of women’s health and women’s rights, it was Betty Ford’s revelations about her own breast cancer which shed light upon this disease that devastates millions of women. In sharing her story up close and very personal, without embarrassment, Mrs. Ford helped get millions of women into early diagnosis, thereby focusing some of the national health resources on this disease which still affects more than one in 10n women. In his unwavering support of her, President Ford demonstrated the essence of being a man, father and husband. Long before being liberated was cool, especially relating to the image of what a Republican woman should be, Elizabeth “Betty” Bloomer Ford sprang free from the girdles which bound, doing her own thing with style and understated grace while confronting her own very personal challenges. An independent, spirited woman who early decided to pursue a career in dance, Betty Ford was a role model for many young women who wanted more than motherhood and managing a household, noting “having babies is a blessing not a duty.” She wanted to do her own thing and wouldn’t bind her children with the shackles of a different generation’s expectations, realistically noting that her children probably smoked pot and that she wouldn’t be surprised if her then-18-year-old daughter was sexually active. This unparalleled candor from residents of the White House was not to condone such actions but, as parents, to keep the doors of communications open without condemnation. Mrs. Ford had a very supportive husband who oftentimes stood in amazement at her spunk and reveled with joy in their life of 58 years together. Some said Mrs. Ford’s stances on issues which could be perceived as controversial by more conservative elements of society may have cost her husband a chance to be elected to the presidency. Let us hope not, for such narrow minded thinking could hinder the nation’s growth. Maybe the beauty of Betty Ford was she caused us all to get real and deal with the world as it is, rather than as we’d like it to be. At the funeral of our 38th president, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., it was a measure oftheir class and dignity that each his and Betty’s children stood to greet and shake hands with the visitors/ They got it right as the first family, and Elizabeth “Betty” Bloomer Ford was truly First Mother in Chief. • • • Dr. Ada M.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Presidents ignore restraints of War Powers Resolution
We have been reminded by many during the last few days of the fragile nature of freedom. We must also realize the tendency of government to accumulate more power. The nature of man requires the “force of law” to prevent elected officials from becoming dictators. It was well understood until the Korean conflict that only Congress had the power to declare war. Since that time politicians of both political parties have abused their office by asking those of our armed forces to lay down their lives in military actions taken outside of the process required by the Constitution. When Congressman Ron Paul reminded Henry Hyde of this before troops were sent to Iraq, he was told that the process was outdated and that we don’t declare war anymore. At that point Congressman Hyde violated his oath of office. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is a federal law which gives the president 48 hours to notify Congress and a maximum of 60 days to use the armed forces without congressional approval. It was ignored in 1999 and again last month. If our federal officials would review the events of 1941, the brave men and women of our armed forces would not be placed in harm’s way without proper approval. There are those who would say that presidents may use existing treaties to skirt the intent of the Constitution and the War Powers Act. An honest review of the Federalist Papers and our nation’s history prior to 1950 should silence those voices. In 49 B.C. Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in a deliberate violation of Roman law. This action took the power from the Roman Senate and placed it in his hands, as a military dictator. Will a modern day president “cross the Rubicon” and make Congress obsolete? — Joe D. Teeter

After having watched a recent Rowan County Commissioner’s budget meeting on Cable TV, I felt disgusted as a taxpayer whom these people are supposed to be serving. The source of that disgust was the three “stars” of that episode: Jon Barber, the commission’s resident alcoholic, alleged wine thief and Democrat disguised as a Republican; Chad Mitchell, a pseudo-conservative (or do you spell that liberal?) Republican; and clueless Raymond Coltrain. Mitchell unabashedly — and totally without shame — will vote for anything his old college buddy, Mr. Robert Van Geons, brings

before the commission. That’s one of the best reasons the commission should defund Van Geons’ position and require all businesses seeking corporate welfare to come directly to the commission to ask for their taxpayer-funded handouts. It was absolutely repulsive to watch Mitchell, Barber and Coltrain, in a majority voting bloc, do nothing but engage in blatant vote buying for the next election. Commissioner Jim Sides read into the record explicit data citing the available funds for the various county volunteer fire departments, and why those departments don’t need any tax increases for more money. Commission Vice-Chairman Carl Ford also commented about these difficult times not being the most opportune to ask the average taxpayers to fork over more money to inflate already ample VFD treasuries. How much hidden money — such as grants — do these VFDs have of which the commission and public are unaware? But Barber took the grand prize for unadulterated crassness by reading two preprepared statements (probably written for him during his recent sabbatical) to bring a “positive” charge to an otherwise negative atmosphere. In another ploy to garner future votes, Barber chose to thank county employees for a job well done, which no one disagrees with, except for Barber’s timing and underhanded motive. The best thing Barber could do for all concerned would be to resign. — Bill Ward Salisbury
Thanks for emergency aid Thank you to all, especially the members of Bostian Heights, Mt. Mitchell, China Grove, Landis and Locke Fire Departments, who responded to a structure fire caused by lightning on Lentz Road on July 6. Thanks also to the emergency response teams, friends and neighbors, especially George Stirewalt Sr., who used his backhoe to assist the firefighters. We are thankful that no one was injured while fighting this fire. May God bless each of you. With heartfelt thanks: — Larry and Barbara Basinger China Grove
am normally not an outspoken person, but recent comments from some of our elected officials drove me to write this. Although I cannot speak about other fire departments in the county, I can speak of my involvement with mine. I have been a member of our local department for 20 years. When I first joined we had just earned our class 6 ISO (Insurance Service Organization) rating. This was a great accomplishment and it meant that homeowners would benefit by having lower insurance rates. Over the next twenty years we have strived to be one of the best depts. in the county. We still hold the lowest ISO rating in the county for a rural department, with a 5. Although a rating of 6 or lower usually does not benefit homeowners on their insurance rates, it does help business insurance rates. Holding these ratings as low as we do does come at a cost. What is that cost? If you were a proud owner of a $150,000 residence in our district in 2009, your fire tax was $75 per year. Now, leaving revaluation out of the equation, today that same homeowner would pay $79.65 per year. Now let’s say, just for argument sake, that the fine volunteers decided to quit training, did not respond quite as promptly, decided not to replace their 25year old-engine, closed the satellite department and let their ISO rating drop to a 9. Well, we might not need all that tax money we have been collecting, so we dropped our tax rate to say .01 cent. That same homeGeorge Huffman owner would now pay lives in Woodleaf. $15 per year for his fire protection. Our commissioners would be ecstatic — look how this department lowered the tax rate for its community. That homeowner would save $60-65 per year. Or would he? Let’s look at the bigger picture. Insurance companies use fire department ISO ratings as part of their equation on figuring insurance rates. I drove to a local insurance agent and asked if they could check insurance policy premiums for a $150,000 policy in our district, and for the identical policy in a class 9 rated district in our county. The addresses I used were geographically about 10 miles apart. I knew there would be a difference, but even I was surprised at the amount. It was $336 per year more in the class 9 rated over the same house in a class 5 rated district. Where is that tax savings now? Who is really looking after the best interest of their community? Most members of local fire departments live in the communities they serve and don’t like to pay more taxes than are necessary, but they know how much it costs to run their fire department., and they do have the best interests of their community at heart. Anybody price a new fire engine lately? How about a thermal imaging camera, turnout gear, SCBA, extrication tools ... the list goes on and on. Firefighting costs have changed drastically over the last 20 years. Gone are the days of a single man running into a house in his hip boots and long coat to put a fire out, or putting a tank and a pump on a donated flatbed truck. It now takes a dedicated, well equipped, well trained group of individuals. I am reminded every day why I became a volunteer. The look in a mother’s eye when you are helping her sick child, holding someone’s hand while they are being extricated from a wrecked automobile, handing a soot covered photo album to the victims of a house fire. For volunteers to be questioned about their budgets is one thing, but to be constantly berated by our local elected officials is another, and I, for one, have had enough. Could you imagine if the volunteer fire service went away? How much more would you pay in insurance premiums? How much more would it cost for a paid service?

Train derails in India, killing at least 3 and injuring more than 100 FATEHPUR, India (AP) — Rescuers searched for survivors in the wreckage of a packed express train that derailed in northern India on Sunday afternoon, killing at least 31 people, while officials said a second train derailment hundreds of miles (kilometers) to the northeast appeared to have been caused by a remote-controlled bomb. Rescuers were working to reach the second derailment, which occurred late Sunday night in a rural area of Assam state, injuring at least 100. The two railway incidents did not appear to be related. In the first crash, the Kalka Mail train was on its way to Kalka, in the foothills of the Himalayas, from Howrah, a station near Kolkata in eastern India, when 12 coaches and the engine jumped the tracks at Malwan station, near the town of Fatehpur in Uttar Pradesh state, senior railway official A.K. Jain said. The cause of the derailment was not immediately clear but it appeared that the driver applied the emergency brakes, Jain said. At least 31 people were killed and rescue workers pulled at least 100 injured passengers out of the wreckage, said Brij Lal, a state police official.
As News of the World dies, Murdoch flies to UK to deal with scandal LONDON (AP) — Rupert Murdoch touched down in London on Sunday to take charge of his media empire’s phone-hacking crisis as his best-selling Sunday tabloid, the News of the World, published its last. The scandal lives on despite his sacrifice of the 168year-old paper at the heart of it. The scrapping of the News of the World has not tempered British anger over imMURDOCH proprieties by journalists working for Murdoch, and his $19 billion deal to take full control of satellite broadcaster British Sky Broadcasting remains in jeopardy. The 80-year-old News Corp. CEO was seen reading the paper’s last issue in a red Range Rover as he was driven to the east London offices of his U.K. newspaper division, News International. Later, at his London apartment, he met with News International’s chief executive, Rebekah Brooks, who led News of the World when its reporters committed some of the most egregrious ethical lapses. Murdoch has publicly backed Brooks, who insists she had no knowledge of wrongdoing. He put his hand on her shoulder as they left the residence about an hour after she arrived; they smiled for the pack of photographers and camera crews gathered outside before walking to a nearby hotel for a meal. The drama gripping media watchers in Britain and beyond has expanded at breakneck pace following allegations News of the World journalists paid police for information and hacked into the voicemails of young murder victims and the grieving families of dead soldiers. Three people have been arrested, including Prime Minister David Cameron’s former communications chief.
Swatch from moon-bound flag unsold at LA auction LOS ANGELES (AP) — A strip of fabric shorn from the flag planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts pulled in a top bid of $60,000 at a Los Angeles auction, but didn’t meet a minimum price so it won’t be sold. Auctioneer Michael Orenstein says there was a reserve price of $95,000 at the Sunday auction for the seven-inch strip that was pulled from the trash before the 1969 lunar landing by NASA engineer Tom Moser. Moser, who is now retired, was tasked with preparing the flag to be planted on the moon, and the strip he rescued was cut off to remove a set of grommets so the banner could be placed on a rod. Orenstein says he was not disappointed by the auction because there was no way to anticipate the value of such a rare item. Other items at the spacethemed auction met or surpassed expectations including a Collier trophy — the so-called Oscar of aviation — that was awarded to the crew of 1962’s Mercury 7 mission and sold Sunday for $12,500.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — As the miles melted between Atlantis and the International Space Station, the emotions grew — in orbit and on the ground. At Mission Control on Sunday, lead flight director Kwatsi Alibaruho declared “this is it” as he gave the OK for the final docking in space shuttle history. Flashbacks to the shuttle’s very first space station docking — with Russia’s Mir in 1995 — flooded his mind as viewed the shuttle on the screens. He was a NASA trainee back then. About 240 miles above the Pacific, the station’s naval bell chimed a salute — one of many landmarks, or rather spacemarks, of this final twoweek shuttle mission that are being savored one by one. “Atlantis arriving,” called out space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. “Welcome to the International Space Station for the last time.” “And it’s great to be here,” replied shuttle commander Christopher Ferguson. Cries of joy and laughter filled the connected vessels once the hatches swung open and the two crews — 10 space fliers altogether representing three countries — exchanged hugs, handshakes and kisses on the cheek. Cameras floated everywhere, recording every moment of the last-of-its-kind festivities. Atlantis, carrying a year’s worth of supplies, is being retired after this flight, the last of the 30-year shuttle program. “I won’t say that I got close to welling up in the eyes, but I will say that it was a powerful moment for me,” Alibaruho later told reporters. He tried to keep his feelings discreet so as not to distract his team of flight controllers, but said, “I know they were all feeling very similar emotions, thinking about where we’ve come from, how much we’ve accomplished ... what’s coming next.” Alibaruho said the moment was also powerful for the 10 people in space for the docking: six Americans, three Russians and one Japanese. “You could sense a palpable increase in emotion from all of the crew members, not just our U.S. astronauts,” he said. “They were extremely happy and really elated to see their visitors, and I know that they really recognize and appreciate the significance of these moments.” A computer failure aboard Atlantis took away some of the redundancy desired for the rendezvous, but did not hamper the operation. Within a few hours, though, news came that NASA was monitoring a piece of space junk that could come dangerously close to the orbiting shuttle-station complex on Tuesday — right in the middle of a spacewalk. Mission management team chairman LeRoy Cain stressed it was still too soon to know whether the unidentified object would truly pose

This frame grab from NASA-TV shows space shuttle Atlantis docked at the international Space Station on Sunday. Atlantis is delivering more than 5 tons of food, clothes and other space station provisions — an entire year’s worth to keep the complex going in the looming post-shuttle era. Atlantis’ journey marks the final shuttle mission by NASA. a threat, and that a decision would be made Monday as to whether the linked spacecraft would have to move out of harm’s way. The size of the object was not immediately known. This was the 46th docking by a space shuttle to a space station. Nine of those were to Mir back in the 1990s, with Atlantis making the very first. The U.S. and Russia built on that sometimes precarious experience to create, along with a dozen other nations, the world’s largest spacecraft ever: the permanently inhabited, finally completed, 12 1⁄2 year-old International Space Station. This time, Atlantis is delivering more than 5 tons of food, clothes and other space station provisions — an entire year’s worth, in fact, to keep the complex going in the looming post-shuttle era. The shuttle astronauts quickly handed over a bag of groceries loaded with fresh fruit and promised the station residents some extra jars of peanut butter. “Outstanding,” said inhabitant Michael Fossum. Ferguson was at the controls as Atlantis drew closer, leading the smallest astronaut crew in decades. Only four are flying aboard Atlantis, as NASA kept the crew to a minimum in case of an emergency. In the unlikely event that Atlantis was seriously damaged, the shuttle astronauts would need to move into the space station for months and rely on Russian Soyuz capsules to get back home. A shuttle always was on standby before for a possible rescue, but that’s no longer feasible with Discovery and Endeavour officially retired now. Two days into this historic voyage — the 135th in 30 years of shuttle flight — Atlantis was said by NASA to be sailing smoothly, free of notable damage. Sunday’s docking
proved to be as flawless as Friday’s liftoff. As a safeguard, Atlantis performed the usual backflip for the space station cameras, before the linkup. The station astronauts used powerful zoom lenses to photograph all sides of the shuttle. Experts on the ground will scrutinize the digital images for any signs of damage that might have come from fuel-tank foam, ice or other launch debris. Atlantis and its crew will spend more than a week at the orbiting complex. The shuttle flight currently is scheduled to last 12 days, but NASA likely will add a 13th day to give the astronauts extra time to complete all their chores. As for the shuttle’s failed computer, Alibaruho said a bad switch throw likely knocked it offline. He expects it to be working again once new software is installed Monday. The shuttle has five of these main computers; the check-and-balance network provides redundancy during the most critical phases of the mission, especially launch and landing. NASA is getting out of the launching-to-orbit business, giving Atlantis, Endeavour and Discovery to museums, so it can start working on human trips to asteroids and Mars. Private U.S. companies will pick up the more mundane job of space station delivery runs and, still several years out, astronaut ferry flights. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden stressed in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” program Sunday morning that the United States will remain the world leader in space exploration, even after the shuttles stop flying. “I would encourage the American public to listen to the president,” Bolden said. “The president has set the goals: an asteroid in 2025, Mars in 2030. I can’t get any more definitive than that.”
Russia: Dozens of kids among 101 ferry missing MOSCOW (AP) — A half-centuryold tourist boat with 188 people on board listed and sank quickly in one of the world’s largest reservoirs amid wind and rain Sunday, authorities and survivors said, and dozens of children were believed to be among the 101 people missing. Two bodies were recovered. About 30 children gathered in a cockpit in the double-decker Bulgaria moments before it sank into the reservoir on the Volga River, a survivor told the Interfax news agency. Russia’s Vesti 24 television quoted another survivor as saying that the boat “tilted to the right and sank within minutes.” Crew members had time to open only two lifeboats, and could release only one from the ship, survivors told the Itar Tass news agency. By early Monday, only two bodies had been recovered from the 66-footdeep waters of the giant Kuibyshev reservoir, 2 miles from shore. The regional emergency ministry of Tatarstan said two men managed to swim to shore, while a passing riverboat picked up another 83 people and the lifeless body of a woman. The body of another woman was found later, authorities said without giving details. All aboard were believed to be Russian. One survivor told Vesti 24 that other ships refused to come to their aid. “Two ships did not stop, although we waved our hands,” said the man in his 40s, who stood on the riverboat amid weeping passengers, some of them wrapped in towels and blankets. He held another man, who was weeping desperately. Emergency teams and divers from neighboring regions rushed to the site of the tragedy, 450 miles east of Moscow.
ALCATRAZ ISLAND, Calif. (AP) — When night fell on The Rock in San Francisco Bay visitors moved shadow-like through the former prison’s lantern-lit hospital rooms, a gloaming against dingy walls with peeling blue paint. A hard wind whooshed and rattled a window in the hospital cell where Robert Stroud, “The Birdman of Alcatraz,” spent 11 of his 17 years when this was the dankest, hardest federal prison in the U.S. Yet, most of the more than one million tourists who visit the famous former prison never get to experience Alcatraz Island at night or see its spooky, decrepit hospital — experiences unique to the night tour. At dusk the island prison that housed some of the nation’s most notorious criminals — including Al Capone and the recently rearrested James “Whitey” Bulger, who was on The Rock for bank robbery from 1959-1963 — is often enshrouded by fog, and the lamps on the grounds emit a ghostly glow. The difference from the daytime tour is apparent from the start. The ferry from San Francisco motors slowly around the west side of the isle, passing decrepit buildings surrounded by Alcatraz new residents: black Brandt’s cormorants, Western gulls and the other birds that have made their home there since U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy shuttered the prison in 1963. “This is a little eerie,” said Gerard Lang, 28, who was visiting from Covington, Ky. “You kind of feel like you’re heading to prison yourself.”
Principal faces questions about hypnosis after suicides of 2 students NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) — High school principal George Kenney acknowledged using hypnosis to help people: students who needed to relax before tests, a basketball player having trouble making free throws and even school secretaries who wanted to quit smoking. But now the popular 51-year-old principal’s future at North Port High School is in question since it came to light that he had hypnotized two students before their separate suicides this spring. There is no indication their deaths were any more than a tragic coincidence. However, Kenney acknowledged conducting the sessions after being warned by his boss to stop such one-on-one hypnosis with students at school. Most students, teachers and fellow administrators at the southwest Florida school were aware that Kenney was a trained hypnotist who would eagerly help those who sought him out for sessions, according to a school district report. Students looked forward to his demonstrations in a psychology class and at other school events. In April, according to the Sarasota County School District report, he hypnotized a 16-year-old student to help him better focus on a test. The next day, the boy committed suicide. Kenney was put on leave in May when the boy’s parents, who had given their permission for the sessions, raised concerns after his death. The administrator’s situation then got stickier when an investigation showed that he had also hypnotized another student five months before her May 4 suicide, initially lied about it and had defied three separate verbal warnings to stop the sessions with students.
Obama administration suspends $800 million in military aid

Families and friends help a survivor upon the arrival of the Arabella riverboat with dozens of survivors of a shipwreck in Kazan on Sunday on the Volga River, in central Russia. A woman drowned and some 100 remain missing after the double-decker passenger boat sank in the middle of the river in the Tatarstan region, about 450 miles east of Moscow.
Throughout the day, officials gave different counts of those on board and the number of missing, but by early Monday officials in Moscow and Tatarstan agreed that the boat had held 150 passengers and 38 crew members when it got into trouble. The Volga, Europe’s longest river, is up to 19 miles wide. The river is a popular tourist destination, especially in summer months. Most of Russia’s largest cities are located in the Volga River basin. The Bulgaria was built in 1955 in Czechoslovakia and belongs to a lo-
cal tourism company. It was traveling from the town of Bulgar to the regional capital, Kazan. A tourism expert said the lack of partitions inside the Bulgaria made it vulnerable to breaches. “In case of an accident these ships sink within minutes,” Dmitri Voropayev, head of the Samara Travel company, told the Ria Novosti news agency. Russia’s Union of Tourism Industry said the ship had not been inspected and retrofitted for years, according to the Interfax news agency.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration’s decision to suspend $800 million in aid to the Pakistan’s military signals a tougher U.S. line with a critical but sometimes unreliable partner in the fight against terrorism. President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, William Daley, said in a broadcast interview Sunday that the estranged relationship between the United States and Pakistan must be made “to work over time,” but until it does, “we’ll hold back some of the money that the American taxpayers are committed to give” to the country’s powerful military forces. The suspension of U.S. aid, first reported by the New York Times, followed a statement last week by Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, that Pakistan’s security services may have sanctioned the killing of Pakistani journalist Saleem Shahzad who wrote about infiltration of the military by extremists. His battered body was found in June. The allegation was rejected by Pakistan’s powerful military establishment, including the Inter-Services Intelligence Agency, which has historic ties to the Taliban and other militant groups and which many Western analysts regard as a statewithin-a-state.

FROM 1a trillion to $2.4 trillion was more realistic. A Democratic official familiar with the session said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., was especially adamant that any deficit reduction package could not contain tax increases and that any new tax revenue would have to be used to pay for other tax benefits. Obama and the congressional leaders met in the Cabinet Room of the White House for the rare Sunday session. Most appeared in casual Sunday clothes, with open-collared shirts underneath blazers. When a reporter asked, “Can you work it out in 10 days, sir?” Obama replied, “We need to.” Time is becoming increasing precious in the negotiations. The deficit reduction talks are linked to the government’s need to increase its borrowing limit, now capped at $14.3 trillion. The Obama administration says if the debt ceiling is not raised by Aug. 2, the nation would default on its obligations, with potentially calamitous financial consequences worldwide. Officials familiar with the meeting spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicate nature of the negotiations. Officials said Obama time and again pressed for a larger package. He also pointed out that the smaller deal of up to $2.4 trillion still would require tax revenues and that not all of the details had yet been worked out. Earlier, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley said in a television interview that Obama would not “walk away from a tough fight.” “Everyone agrees that a number around $4 trillion is the number that will ... make a serious dent in our deficit,” he said. But embedded among the tough words was rhetoric that acknowledged the prospects for the “big deal” had become uncertain at best. “We’re going to try to get the biggest deal possible,” said Treasury Secretary Timothy
Geithner. It was an abrupt change from 24 hours earlier. Republicans late Saturday rejected the $4 trillion proposal, the largest of three under consideration, because its tax increases would doom it in the GOP-led House, Speaker John Boehner said. The Ohio Republican informed Obama that a package of about $2 trillion, which bipartisan negotiators had identified but not agreed to, was more realistic. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky left little doubt that the $4 trillion deal was dead. “I think it is,” McConnell said. Raising taxes amid 9.2 percent unemployment, he added, “is a terrible idea. It’s a job killer.” The International Monetary Fund’s new chief, Christine Lagarde, said that if the U.S. fails to raise its debt limit, she foresees “interest hikes, stock markets taking a huge hit and real nasty consequences” for the American and global economies. “I would hope that there is enough bipartisan intelligence and understanding of the challenge that is ahead of the United States, but also the rest of the world,” she said. Republicans have demanded that any plan to raise the debt limit be coupled with massive spending cuts. But Obama has a long way to go to satisfy lawmakers in his own party, too. Many Democrats are unnerved by the president’s $4 trillion proposal because of its changes to Medicare and Medicaid. Geithner cautioned that a package about half the size of the one Obama prefers would be equally tough to negotiate because it, too, could require hundreds of billions in new tax revenue — anathema to Republicans. Lawmakers said that previous bipartisan talks, led by Vice President Joe Biden, identified a fraction of cuts that would be needed even for the more modest packages.
MIRACLE FROM 1a you understand. He counts and knows the alphabet. He has certain names for different family members. Uncle Brian (Scott’s brother) is “La-la,” for example. In turn, Brian calls Bradley “Fruit Loop.” “Pawpaw” Jerry Hill is one of Bradley’s best buddies. Jerry and Bradley have a morning routine of driving down their long country lane to the mailbox on Liberty Road for the morning newspaper. Bradley also likes to wait in the front yard for Scott to come home each day from work at Carolina Stalite, where he is the assistant safety director. Scott starts sounding his air horn as soon as he is within sight of the house. Bradley is a familiar face among officers with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, thanks to his Aunt Lunda Eller, a deputy. “When she comes down the driveway (with her blue light flashing), it makes Bradley’s day,” Jerry Hill says. Twice a year, including this past weekend, Bradley attends “Jim’s Kids” parties held in Randolph County for disabled children. He also is a fixture at evening softball games played through the year at Liberty United Methodist’s field across from the church. Scott and Jerry play on the church teams, and Scott hears it from Bradley, laughing usually, when he makes a bad play. “He has brought so much joy to us and the community around him,” says Sandy, a local hairdresser. He is also well-known at Eastside Baptist Church, where Sandy has been attending. “He’s definitely a ladies’ man,” Sandy says. “He loves going to church. That’s where he gets all of his sugar.” Folks at the Lentz store on Stokes Ferry Road know what it means when the Hill family posts an order for a “Bradley ice cream.” It’s a

At Wendy’s restaurants in Richfield and Salisbury, employees call him by name. He likes the chocolate Frosty. People sometimes hand Bradley money, and taking it to the bank later, he picks up suckers for this 3-year-old brother, Troy. Bradley can’t have suckers. One of Bradley’s favorite pastimes is to throw balls onto a roof and catch them as they roll back down. He loves professional wrestling on Monday night television and displays an impressive aptitude with cell phones, MP3 players (he is on his third one this year) and computers. “You better make sure you have rechargeable batteries,” Sandy says. Scott Hill is a Liberty volunteer firefighter. When his pager goes off, Bradley immediately responds with “Fire call, you go.” He becomes especially excited if he later hears Scott’s voice on the scanner. Bradley is a creature of habit. Sandy Hill says he likes to sleep with his ball
glove, and “when he gets something on his mind, he will not let you forget it.” “He worries,” she adds. “If he knows something is not right, he will say it 10 times, if not 30.” Helping in Bradley’s care is his 13-year-old sister, Ashley. When family members aren’t carrying him, Bradley stays mobile with the help of a wheelchair, braces or a walker. Medicaid, Scott’s insurance and the community have helped pay for the steep medical bills through the years. “Our church helped us out tremendously,” Brenda Hill says. Back in April, Brenda Hill stood up in church when the pastor asked for a “praise report,” and she noted that her grandson Bradley was soon going to have a 10th birthday — even though he was never supposed to have made it this far. His family cherishes every day they have with him. “I’ve been blessed to have Bradley,” Sandy Hill says. “If I had to do it all over again, I would. I would not

SALISBURY
— Twin banks of Rowan 8 lights in left Mooresville 7 field and left-center faded to black in the fifth inning at Newman Park on Sunday night, creating a 20minute delay that would prove beneficial to the home team. Andy Austin used the minutes afforded by the “timeout” to hit off a tee, and he wound up producing the key RBIs of a long night. His two-

run single in the sixth put Rowan County ahead to stay in an 8-7, seesaw victory against the Mooresville Moors. “My first three at-bats, I’m sure it didn’t look like I had any idea what I was doing,”
Austin said. “But you just keep working at baseball. It’s a cycle that never stops.” While the lights failed, the bats didn’t. In a matchup that looked like a certain pitcher’s duel on paper, both teams produced plenty of offense. Jake Beaver had three hits, Jesse Seaford scored three runs and Josh Holcomb homered and drove in five runs for the Moors (13-10). Another run scored when Holcomb bounced into a double play. Luke Thomas homered and

Getting to Sparta was tough, too BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press
SPARTA, Ky. — Speedway Motor Bruton Smith was kidding when he said he expected most fans to return home from the track’s inaugural NASCAR Sprint Cup race on Saturday night “by Tuesday.” Considering how difficult it was for people to get into the track, Tuesday may have been a bit generous. Forget about getting out. Fans ha just as much trouble getting into the speedway before the race. The 1.5-mile oval’s longawaited Cup debut was marred by a massive traffic snarl that left fans stuck out on Interstate 71 for miles even as the green flag dropped. Cars were still slowly streaming into the parking gates more than 125 miles into the 400-mile event as nearby interstate turned into a massive parking lot. Even those that made it to their seats well before the race were less than thrilled. Randy Meyer and his brother Mark needed nearly eight hours to make the trip from Batesville, Ind., normally a 90-minute drive. “It was a nightmare,” Randy Meyer said. “I go to Indy every year for the (Indy) 500 and I’ve never seen anything this bad.” Track officials laid out explicit traffic plans in the weeks leading up to the race. Yet with a sellout crowd of 107,000 expected, many of them making their first trip to the area, it got messy. Really messy.

Debut marred by traffic snarl BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press
SPARTA, Ky. — Flashbulbs popped as pole sitter Kyle Busch led the 43-car Sprint Cup field to the green flag at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night to kick off the long-awaited debut by NASCAR’s top series at the 1.5-mile oval. Yet the real story of the inaugural race at the track tucked among the hills in northern Kentucky was
unfolding over the wall behind Turns 3 and 4 as Busch roared to the start/finish line. Cars, many of them stuck in gridlock for hours on nearby Interstate 71, continued to inch along the overstuffed access roads. The maddening parade continued as the laps ticked off, with some fans eventually being asked to turn around after the race passed its halfway point so the track could start allowing those that did manage to make it in to leave.
Kentucky Speedway general manager Mark Simendinger put out a statement late Sunday saying the track “regrets” the traffic conditions and is working on a way to make amends with fans who never made it through the gates. “We’re committed to working with NASCAR, state and local officials and traffic experts to assure that this never happens again,” Simendinger said. The 15-mile backups getting put a damper on the memorable show
Speedway Motorsports Inc. chairman Bruton Smith promised to deliver when he received permission from NASCAR to move a date from Atlanta Motor Speedway to Kentucky last summer. The track’s first night on the series’ biggest stage was memorable all right, but for all the wrong reasons. Though more than 100,000 packed the revitalized grandstand, the race

PHOENIX — Baseball could field an All-Star team just from the players who will be missing from Tuesday’s game. Philadelphia third baseman Placido Polanco and Tampa Bay pitcher David Price became the latest stars to withdraw, and five other starting pitchers were declared ineligible because they played Sunday. Polanco missed the Phillies’ final six games heading into the All-Star break because of a bad back. Major League Baseball cited turf toe as the reason for Price’s withdrawal. “He’s been battling a toe problem that’s been exacer-
bated the last couple of days, so going into the break, we wanted to make sure he would not aggravate (it) any more by pitching on Tuesday,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “We really haven’t decided if he’ll pitch Friday or Saturday.” The Yankees’ CC Sabathia, the Rays’ James Shields, the Detroit Tigers’ Justin Verlander, the Seattle Mariners’ Felix Hernandez and the Philadelphia Phillies’ Cole Hamels all were knocked out because of their starts. Sabathia had been bypassed when rosters were announced a week ago, but replaced Shields when the Tampa Bay pitcher appeared Sunday. Added as All-Stars Sunday

Yanks’ Romine wins Future game Associated Press
PHOENIX — The Yankees' Austin Romine singled home the go-ahead run against Kansas City's Kelvin Herrera in a three-run eighth inning, leading the U.S. over the World team 6-4 Sunday in the All-Star Futures game. Cleveland's Jason Kipnis homered leading off the first as the U.S. built a 3-0 lead. Oakland's Grant Green was selected MVP after starting the go-ahead rally in the eighth with his second double of the game. Los Angeles Dodgers' Alfredo Silverio hit a long tworun homer to left off Cleveland's Drew Pomeranz in a four-run sixth, and Philadelphia's Sebastian Valle tied the score with an RBI double down the left-field line. Texas' Jurickson Profar, an 18-yearold switch-hitting shortstop who played for Curacao in the 2004 and 2005 Little League World Series, then tripled in front of the right-center swimming pool on the first pitch from Minnesota's Kyle Gibson for a 4-3 lead. Green started the eighth-inning rally against Herrera with a double, Tampa Bay's Tim Beckham doubled him home to tie it and, two outs later, Romine singled to left. Romine, who went 2 for 2, is at Double-A Trenton behind Jesus Montero, another top Yankees' prospect who is at TripleA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Colorado's Nolan Arenado chased Herrera, the loser, with a double. Philadelphia's Jarred Cosart struck out two in the eighth for the win. The Mets' Matt Harvey got the final out for save. Mike Piazza managed the U.S. to its seventh win in 13 Futures games. Luis Gonzalez, whose ninth-inning single off the Yankees' Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series on this field, managed the World team.

Bryce Harper takes a rip during the Futures game. Bryce Harper, the top pick in last year's amateur draft, went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and two groundouts. He took a called third strike on a fastball in the first, grounded out in the third and sixth innings, then fanned in the eighth with the potential go-ahead run on second. The 18-year-old was promoted by the Washington Nationals to Double-A on the Fourth of July after hitting .318 at Class A with 14 homers, 46 RBIs and 19 steals. St. Louis right-hander Carlos Martinez impressed with a 96-98 mph fastball in a scoreless fourth. It was 101 outside at gametime — down from 110 Saturday afternoon and 118 on July 2 — but a comfy 76 inside Chase Field, where the roof hasn't been open for a game since Arizona played the Chicago White Sox on June 17.
All was clear, a contrast to the haboob that blew a mile-high wall of dust through Phoenix five days earlier. Kipnis led off the bottom of the first by working the count to 3-2 against Julio Teheran, then turned on a 95 mph fastball and sent it deep into the right-field seats. Kipnis was second-round pick by the Cleveland Indians two years ago after helping Arizona State reach the College World Series. Teheran made his major league debut for the Atlanta Braves in May, making starts at Philadelphia and Arizona. Cincinnati's Devin Mesoraco singled off Minnesota's Liam Hendriks leading off the second and scored when Kansas City's Wil Myers legged out an infield grounder, avoiding what would have been an inningending double play.
Overseas option not a sure thing Associated Press
Deron Williams’ decision to play in Turkey if the lockout remains could open the door for other NBA stars. Unless FIBA shuts it. Basketball’s governing body has to sign off on these deals for players under contract, and the NBA Players’ Association expects that it will. But what if it doesn’t? “I don’t think that’s going to be an easy transaction, to be honest with you,” said agent Roger Montgomery, whose client Sonny Weems signed in Lithuania last week after playing last season with the Toronto Raptors. Weems, whose contract had expired, agreed to a oneyear contract without an optout clause, meaning he’s actually committed to spending the season in Europe. But the deal that Williams would get from Besiktas of Turkey — and that any top-level NBA player would demand — would allow him to run right back to the NBA once the lockout ends. So in approving the deals, FIBA would potentially be giving away valued jobs to players who have no intention of keeping them, diminishing the overseas product for the sake of perhaps a few games with bigger names. The NBA union’s belief is
that FIBA would not stand in the way of players whose contracts have been suspended because of the lockout seeking employment elsewhere. But FIBA needs a little more time to determine that. A spokesman for the organization said it is working on a statement to be sent to its membership and clubs to clarify the legal situation, which will likely be ready early this week. If FIBA says it will offer letters of clearance, the Williams route becomes available for any other NBA players who want to play, not stay, in Europe. Kobe Bryant, Amare Stoudemire, Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade were among the players who reportedly would be open to playing overseas. But don’t plan on that exodus just yet. One agent said he “wouldn’t be shocked” if FIBA rejects the kind of contract they’d be seeking and wondered if many European teams would even offer them. Of course, it’s unclear how many teams could even afford to. With the risk of injury that could threaten their NBA earnings, few top players would consider the move without the guarantee of top dollars. And in a weakened European economy that likely rules out the elite Greek clubs, and
a history of headaches with certain teams when it comes to actually receiving payment, top talent may not have many places to go. “There’s not a lot of teams over there that could pay the salary of what a rotational NBA player would earn,” agent Mark Bartelstein said last week. “I wouldn’t say it’s a vibrant market for NBA rotational-caliber players.” While seeing its players getting jobs overseas could potentially threaten owners at the bargaining table, the NBA has shaken off the European challenge before and likely would again. Many U.S. Olympians were asked if they would consider the option in 2008 after Josh Childress left the Atlanta Hawks for Greek club Olympiakos and other lesser players followed, agreeing they would have to listen for a deal that would offer them $40 million a year, tax free. But NBA Commissioner David Stern quickly played down the idea, saying “the system will not support it,” and that was before the economy tumbled. So while the Williams deal was interesting, deals for ones like Weems are far more likely. “That’s going to be difficult at best, especially for your Atier player,” Montgomery said.

GETTING OUT FROM 1B
AssOciAted pRess
A crowd fills the newly renovated facility at the start.
GETTING IN FROM 1B “Sure it was worse,” said track general manager Mark Simendinger. “I knew we were going to have heavy traffic because of our turnout and the venue that we have and we were prepared for that, but clearly it was even beyond what we had anticipated.” Smith has been complaining about the infrastructure for weeks. On Friday he called 71 “the worst section of interstate highway in America.” It sure looked like it to Steve Wolf. The well-traveled NASCAR fan from Cincinnati called the drive to the track the worst he’s ever seen. “I’ve been to Indy, Talladega, Daytona, Texas, just all over,” Wolf said. “This, this is bad.” The traffic didn’t spare the drivers either. Denny Hamlin grew so
bored as his entourage waded through the gridlock he decided to play a version of “Where’s Denny?” and offered the first fan to find him $20. “Good news, bad news,” Hamlin tweeted. “I’m prolly not gonna make the drivers meeting in 3 hrs because I’m in this traffic with everyone else. ... Good news is I’m starting in the back anyway.” Smith said he has written Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear a note asking him to take a look at the situation. The state has already spent millions expanding 71 to three lanes going north. Doing the same south toward Louisville might be a good idea. It took nearly four hours for Mike Logan to cover the 13 miles from his hotel in Carrollton to the track. “People told me south of the track was better,” said Logan, who is from St. Louis. “If it is, I’d hate to see what happened to those folks coming the other

will be remembered more for the sea of brakelights along the interstate than for Busch’s third win of the season. Even the drivers weren’t spared. Denny Hamlin worried he would miss the prerace driver’s meeting after getting parked for several hours on overmatched I-71. “It’s back to reality to see the other side of things,” said Hamlin, who did make the meeting and finished 11th. “Some guys around us had some problems. It’s tough. Bruton and all those guys know it’s an issue ... You’ve got a lot of fans that want to watch the race but you can’t do anything about a twolane road.” Heavy traffic at NASCAR events is nothing new, and Kentucky officials spent weeks assuring NASCAR folks they had a plan that would make the drive in bearable. The state spent millions of dollars over the last decade to improve the infrastructure around the venue in hopes of one day getting a Cup date. Yet widening the interstate to three lanes for a couple of miles heading north to Cincinnati did little to expedite things. Smith warned fans in the days leading up to the race that there would be some problems, calling I-71 the worst stretch of road in the country. The octogenarian even spent a little bit of time Saturday afternoon directing traffic. A parting of the seas would have been more helpful. Officials pledged to address the problem before the circuit comes back next summer. “I’d rather have 12 months to work on that type of an issue than some of the other ones that you would possibly have,” said track general manager Mark Simendinger. “Not to make any excuses but I do think that when it’s your first time through you learn a lot of stuff and we certainly learned tonight.” The traffic headaches overshadowed the track’s coming out party. In an era where long-time Cup staples have trouble filling the stands, the speedway was packed to check out a race over a decade in the making. Yet the buzz on social media sites was overwhelmingly negative, with fans posting pictures of long backups as the sun started to duck over the horizon to the west. The drivers could sense the frustration. “It’s disappointing,” said five-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, who finished third. “I mean,

Kyle Busch was the winner. the SMI group knows racetracks and does a very good job at all the racetracks they own. It’s unfortunate we were unable to look ahead and see where these potential problems were.” A compelling race would have helped take away some of the sting, but the track’s signature bumps provided little drama. Busch led 125 of the 267 laps and there were no green flag passes for the lead. Drivers worried about the lack of SAFER barriers in certain areas before the race, but they never came into play.
ROWAN FROM 1B
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The morning after celebrating his 3,000th hit with friends and family, Derek Jeter was back at work. At 11:42 a.m., Jeter walked out into the public part of the Yankees clubhouse wearing a navy University of Michigan T-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers. He grabbed a towel, chatted briefly with some team employees, then sat down at his locker to talk to a waiting horde of reporters. Among the questions he faced after a night of celebrating: So just how heartily does one party after becoming the only Yankees player in the 3,000-hit club? “Not too much,” Jeter said, grinning gently. “I don’t really recover like I used to.” Besides, with Alex Rodriguez among several Yankees out with injuries, he knew manager Joe Girardi would be putting him right back in the lineup. As he has been since he was a rookie, Jeter was all business. “It’s hard to sit here and think about yesterday,” he said. “We’ve got a game in an hour.” When it started, and Jeter led off the bottom of the first inning, the crowd at Yankee Stadium stood and gave him a warm ovation while he went through his usual routine before stepping in. In the third, Jeter got a bunt single. That’s hit No. 3,004, if you’re counting. Otherwise, it was just another day at the ballpark. “Just one of those special days,” Jeter said at the time. “You want to hit the ball hard,” he said. “I didn’t want to hit a slow roller to third base and have it be replayed forever.”

Rowan whacked 10 hits against Moors starter Nick Keith. “It’s not like out pitchers were bad,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “It looks easy from the stands to just go out there and throw strikes, but they’ve got some guys that will smack it when you come in there.” Rowan (20-6) got it done on the mound by committee. Starter Bradley Robbins made it to the fifth. Matt Laurens allowed five hits while recording five outs but earned the win. Caleb Henley limited the Moors to a run in two innings, and Will Johnson worked a swift 1-2-3 ninth for his program record-tying seventh save of the year. Several Rowan players were under the weather, including Laurens and left fielder Matt Mauldin, who was replaced by Jared Mathis in the seventh. Holcomb greeted Laurens with a two-run, fifth inning homer that put Rowan in a 51 hole. Three more singles followed, but Rowan right fielder Taylor Garczynski threw out Taylor Thurber trying to score from second base on the last one. That laser ended a potentially dis-
There were few dust-ups and only a handful of cautions as the 400-mile race resembled a parade more than the threewide fireworks Smith promised. “This place is so wide and you carry so much momentum, you’re on the throttle for so long that there’s really not much time for you to gain on the next guy in front of you,” said Busch, who moved into the points lead after winning his 99th career NASCAR series event. “Whatever grind they did up top seemed to hurt it, I think, rather than help it.” Smith hasn’t ruled out repaving the track in the near future, but he’d prefer a different kind of paving, one that helps alleviate the problems that marred what he hoped to be a special night. It’s unclear what the state can do. In addition to the road widening, it also pledged millions in tax incentives if Smith was able to bring a Cup race to the Bluegrass. Gov. Steve Beshear, who watched a portion of the race from Smith’s luxury suite, is in the middle of a re-election bid. Kentucky is in the midst of a financial crisis, and it’s unclear whether spending millions to accommodate one night of racing is a viable idea. Simendinger said better preparation and a little more patience next time could go a long way toward solving the problem. “Did we know traffic was going to be heavy? Yeah,” he said. “Did we know traffic was going to be distributed like that? I think we thought more people might take alternate routes anticipating heavy traffic. Is some of that on us? Yeah for not educating people the way we should have.”

astrous inning for Rowan and was the turning point. “Garczynski made that look like an easy out because he made such a strong throw, and Thomas had plenty of time to catch the ball and make the tag,” Gantt said. Hits by Dakota Brown, Sapp and Morris triggered a four-run bottom of the fifth for Rowan that tied the game. Then the lights went out. When play resumed, Rowan turned a double-play to escape a messy sixth down 6-5, and Austin’s clutch single in the bottom half scored Sapp and Brown for a 7-6 edge. “First pitch, he (lefty reliever Keith Little) came in

low,” Austin second. “Second pitch was a fastball down the middle. I timed it good.” Sapp’s bunt single, on which Little threw wildly over first, set the table for Austin “Mooresville just kept scoring because they were getting their leadoff man on all night,” Sapp said. “Coach (Seth) Graham told me if I could get a bunt down that their pitcher wasn’t a great fielder. Then we got lucky, and he threw the ball away.” Avery Rogers’ double down the third-base line scored Mathis in the seventh with an insurance run for an 8-6 lead. That run made the difference after the Moors got one back in the eighth. “We made it interesting, gave the crowd their money’s worth,” Moors coach Josh Graham said. “Rowan’s hitters just squared up a lot of balls tonight. Our pitchers were pretty good, but they weren’t at their best.” Rowan moves on to play Mocksville tonight at Newman Park, while the Moors, still alive in the double-elimination tourney, are at home against Western Forsyth.
Weaver says he’s the AL starter Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Angels ace Jered Weaver has been told he’ll start for the AL in Tuesday’s All-Star game. Weaver said he got the news on Sunday from Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia, who got a call from Texas’ Ron Washington. The defending AL champion Rangers’ manager picks the starter. “It’s very exciting,” Weaver said. “Never in my life would I think that I’d even be in an All-Star game, let alone starting. I’d like to thank Ron Washington for the opportunity. It should be fun.” Weaver was the strong favorite for the job after going 11-4 with a major league-leading 1.86 ERA before the break. He threw a six-hitter in his final tuneup against the Seattle Mariners last Thursday, earning his fifth straight victory.
The right-hander has gone at least seven innings in each start during a nine-game stretch without a loss, giving up just 10 earned runs. Weaver has thrown four of his eight career complete games this season, solidifying his spot among the majors’ top handful of starters. He feels a particular responsibility to play well in his first All-Star action, knowing a victory conceivably could give the Angels homefield advantage in the World Series. “They’ve put a pretty big stake on the game, so it’s important,” Weaver said. “It’s obviously something that people take a lot more seriously than in past years.” Weaver will be the first Angels pitcher to start an All-Star game since Mark Langston in 1993. His ERA is the lowest in franchise history for a starter at the All-Star break. Weaver also had an edge for the starting job because several fellow candidates pitched on Sunday.

Stricker wins it on 18th
U.S. gets dramatic win Associated Press
Associated Press
The golf roundup ... SILVIS, Ill. — Steve Stricker’s third straight victory in the John Deere Classic certainly was the most challenging — and by far the most dramatic. With nine holes to play, Stricker led by five strokes. With two holes left, he was two shots down. Twice, Stricker buried shots deep in bunkers, one so far under the sand he had a hard time finding the ball. At a third bunker, he had to take an awkward stance just to give himself a chance to swing. But he won nevertheless, sinking a 25-foot putt from off the 18th green Sunday to beat rookie Kyle Stanley by one stroke. “It became hard, real hard,” said Stricker, who was grateful for the encouraging words from caddie Jimmy Johnson. “Jimmy was right there telling me the whole time, you know, it’s not over yet, just keep plugging, you never know what’s going to happen,” Stricker said. “And sure enough, he was right. Just play it all the way out and see what happens.” Stricker’s clutch putt capped a roller coaster round on a steamy afternoon and gave him a 2-under par 69, good enough to make him the 10th golfer since World War II to win a tournament three straight times. Despite a double-bogey on No. 5, when he needed two shots to get out of a greenside bunker, and bogeys on 15 and 16, Stricker finished at 22-under 262. Stanley, 23,

steve stricker reacts after making a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win the John deere classic. whose best finish previously had been a tie for 12th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in late March, closed with a 66. “It was an unbelievable week and an unbelievable finish,” Stricker said. “I still can’t believe I’m sitting here.” Matt McQuillan, who had missed the cut in his previous 10 tournaments, shot a 64 to tie Zach Johnson (65) for third at 17 under. Charles Howell III (64) and Chez Reavie (72) were another stroke back. Stanley zoomed in front with birdies on five of the first six holes on the back nine, and kept the lead by salvaging par on 17 after sending his tee shot into a grove of trees. But he missed a 9-foot par putt on 18 to open the door for Stricker, who took advantage. Stricker had fallen two
behind with those back-toback bogeys, which seemingly ended his hopes of a threepeat. • COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Hee Kyung Seo of South Korea had a one-shot lead in the final round of the U.S. Women’s Open when play was suspended for the fourth straight day. Seo made four straight birdies to finish her front nine Sunday and make the turn in 5-under 31. She gave a shot back on No. 10 but was still at 4 under for the tournament with eight holes to play, one shot ahead of Angela Stanford and two in front of So Yeon Ryu. • INVERNESS, Scotland — Luke Donald shot a 9-under 63 to win his first Scottish Open by four strokes, cementing his position as the world’s top-ranked player in dominant fashion.
Hundreds mourn Rangers fans’ death Associated Press
BROWNWOOD, Texas — For the last 18 years, firefighter Shannon Stone's family dreaded getting a phone call telling them something had gone horribly wrong. That call came Thursday night. Only it had nothing to do with his dangerous job — it was from the simple pleasure of taking his 6-yearold son to a Texas Rangers game, and trying to catch a ball tossed his way by the boy's favorite player, Josh Hamilton. The 39-year-old Stone lost his balance and fell headfirst about 20 feet onto concrete with his son, Cooper, watching. Witnesses said Stone was conscious after landing and spoke about Cooper being left alone. Stone was pronounced dead within an hour; an autopsy ruled the cause as blunt force trauma from the fall. The unfathomable circumstances behind Stone's death has made his loss even more difficult for family, friends and fellow firefighters. Hundreds mourned him during a public visitation Sunday, many leaving the funeral home with tissues in hand, tears in their eyes, their voices crackling with emotion. "When you're married to someone that's a first responder, you go into it knowing there's
ALL-STARS FroM 1B were the Yankees’ David Robertson, the Texas Rangers’ Alexi Ogando, the Seattle Mariners’ Michael Pineda, the Toronto Blue Jays’ Ricky Romero, the Arizona Diamonbacks’ Miguel Montero and the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Kevin Correia. Boston’s Jon Lester had been in line to replace Hernandez and became an AllStar on Sunday, but he will miss the game because of a strained back muscle that landed him on the disabled list. Montero will get to appear before his hometown fans at Chase Field. “I felt like when I got called up (from the minors),” he said. “I wanted to cry, I was so excited. It’s a great moment. It’s going to pretty special, especially because it’s going to be at home.” Cincinnati’s Scott Rolen will start at third for the NL in place of Polanco. Rolen was added to the roster Saturday when Atlanta’s Chipper Jones withdrew. San Francisco infielder Pablo Sandoval replaced the

that possibility," said Trease Burke, whose husband, Scotty, was a Brownwood police officer for 14 years and is now on the Lake Patrol. "But you don't expect it to be like this. ... You don't expect it to be a freak accident." Media was asked to stay out of the funeral home. "It's still obviously a very somber occasion," Brownwood Mayor Stephen Haynes said. "The family of course is honoring him appropriately and celebrating his life. But it's still difficult to accept, obviously, the nature of the death and the timing of the death and the way that it happened." A funeral is scheduled for Monday, followed by a procession to the cemetery that was expected to include more than 100 fire trucks from across the region. Representatives of the Texas Rangers were planning to attend, too. Brownwood is a town of about 20,000 residents in the Hill Country of central Texas, some 150 miles west of the Rangers' stadium in Arlington. "We're a small town," Haynes said. "We're not (small) enough that everyone knows everyone, but we are small enough that everyone is impacted in some way.”
Mets’ Jose Reyes, on the DL with a hamstring injury. The All-Star selection was validation for Sandoval, who lost nearly 40 pounds this offseason after he struggled with his weight and hitting in 2010. “That was one of the goals we were talking about when I was working out,” Sandoval said. “We talked about All-Star game and MVP.” Sandoval just missed out on the All-Star game in 2009 despite having a .333 average with 15 homers and 55 RBIs at the break. Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel picked his own player, Shane Victorino, instead of Sandoval that year. With San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy making picks, Sandoval got his chance despite missing 40 games with an injured right wrist. “It was a couple of years ago where he had the numbers to go and it didn’t quite happen for him,” Bochy said. “I couldn’t feel better to tell someone they were going to the All-Star game. ... I really wanted to get him on the club. With what hapepned, it just made sense. His nunebrs are deserving to be on the All-Star team.” Fifteen All-Stars won’t appear in the game, including 12 of the 68 originally chosen.
The missing include the Yankees’ trio of Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Mariano Rivera. Rodriguez will have right knee surgery Monday and be sidelined four to six weeks. Robertson will be joined on the AL by Yankees teammates Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano and Russell Martin. “I was just going to go to Connecticut with the wife, maybe go fishing,” Robertson said. “I’m just happy to go.” Sabathia didn’t fret over not going to Phoenix with his pinstriped mates. “I’ve seen these guys every day since February. I’ll see them on Thursday,” he said. Ogando, 9-3 with a 2.92 ERA, will be making his first All-Star appearance. He will be joined by Rangers teammates Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre, C.J. Wilson and Michael Young. Romero learned of his selection after throwing a lateinning bullpen session and returning to the dugout in Cleveland. “It’s very exciting,” Romero said. “I’m at a loss for words right now. My family’s excited that I’m representing East Los Angeles (where he lives) and most importantly, the country of Canada.”
DRESDEN, Germany — Running low on hope and almost out of time, the Americans were surely beat, about to make their earliest exit from the Women’s World Cup. And then, with one of the most thrilling goals in U.S. history, they weren’t. Showing a dramatic burst sure to captivate the folks back home, the Americans packed an entire World Cup’s worth of theatrics into a 15-minute span by beating Brazil 5-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie Sunday night. Abby Wambach tied it with a magnificent, leaping header in the 122nd minute, and Hope Solo denied the Brazilians — again — in one of the most riveting games in the history of the World Cup, men’s or women’s. “There is something special about this group. That energy, that vibe,” Solo said. “Even in overtime, you felt something was going to happen.” The United States advanced to Wednesday’s semifinals against France, which eliminated England on penalty kicks Saturday. And while the Americans will have to win twice more to win the final, they are the only one of the favorites left after twotime defending champ Germany was stunned by Japan on Saturday night. The U.S. victory came 12 years to the day the Americans’ last caught their country’s attention in a big way with their penalty-kick shootout victory over China at the Rose Bowl that gave them their second World Cup title. This one created enough of a buzz that highlights were shown on the Jumbotron at Yankee Stadium, drawing big cheers. “Not for one second,” Wambach said when asked if she ever felt the Americans were beat. “I kept saying, all it takes is one chance. I kept holding up one finger to the girls.” Two minutes into stoppage time, Megan Rapinoe blasted a left-footed cross from 30 yards out on the left side that Andreia didn’t come close to getting her hands on. Wambach, one of the best players in the world in the air, made contact and with one furious whip of her head, buried it in the near side of the net from about five yards. “I took a touch and smoked it,” Rapinoe said. “I don’t think I’ve ever hit a cross with my left foot that well. And then that beast in the air got ahold of it.” Wambach let out a primal scream and slid into the corner, pumping her fists and quickly mobbed by teammates. No goal had ever been scored that deep into a World Cup game.
“Everything seemed to be on the safe side, but it wasn’t,” Brazil coach Kleiton Lima said. “Unfortunately there was the goal.”
NFL CINCINNATI — Bengals cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested Sunday in Cincinnati on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct while intoxicated and resisting arrest, adding to the list of off-the-field troubles that have marred his career. The 27-year-old Jones was jailed around 3 a.m. and released later in the morning. Cincinnati media outlets reported documents filed in court accuse Jones of being disorderly and shouting profanities in a downtown bar and trying to pull away as officers arrested him. Jones denied the allegations in an interview with WCPO-TV after leaving jail. "I just had surgery, so why would I be resisting arrest?" said Jones, who was wearing a neck brace. • NEW YORK — A rookie wage scale and free agency for veterans appear to be the biggest stumbling blocks to ending the NFL lockout. Such key issues as splitting total revenues — the major reason for the dispute — the salary cap, fewer offseason workouts and the length of a new collective bargaining agreement are close to being completed. Owners and players are to meet again, beginning Tuesday, after two days of long negotiations last week. Lawyers from both sides are to meet today.
CYCLING SAINT-FLOUR, France — Riders sprawled over the course. One wound up in a ditch, another with a busted leg. Everyone, it seemed, needed ice: A rest day couldn't come soon enough. The bleeding and battered Tour de France field endured its worst day yet of crashes, a strange and dangerous ordeal in which even a car took out riders. When cyclists ease their aching bones today on their day off after nine frenzied and punishing stages, Alexandre Vinokourov will be waking up several hundred miles away in a Paris hospital after surgery on a fractured thigh bone. Defending champion Alberto Contador's right knee will be bathed in ice, and Juan Antonio Flecha's legs will be bruised and scabbed after he was slammed by a car late in Sunday's stage. Spain's Luis Leon Sanchez won the ninth stage after a long breakaway in the second day of mountains.

Monday, July 11 You are likely to pick up an interest for several new avocations during the next year. One, or perhaps even two, could generate a second source of income that may be beyond what you ever thought possible. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — This should be a good day for you, because overall conditions look pleasantly favorable whether you are involved in a material matter or in something of a personal nature. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The new week brings fresh thinking and a solution for something you couldn’t figure out how to do last week, and which might now become clear as a bell to you. Act on it immediately. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — A happier and more successful week could be in store for you if you plan something out of the ordinary that doesn’t include those who insist on running things. It’ll be fun being your own person. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although sometimes you prefer to act independently of others, you won’t feel like that right now. Greater benefits can be derived from activities you share with friends or associates. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Your profitable possibilities can be great if you have the good sense to strike while the iron is hot. Don’t let matters of financial significance drag on any longer then they have to. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Regardless of where you go and whomever you run into, your popularity is likely to soar. It’s your inner feelings of friendliness that people will be drawn to. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — There is a strong likelihood that chance will play critical role in your financial affairs. It behooves you to stay on your toes and watch for money-making opportunities. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Some special information to which you become privy could be exceptionally fortunate when put to constructive use. It behooves you to act promptly while these conditions prevail. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Although a matter of significance is likely to be controlled by another, should you be asked to help develop it, you’ll have a chance to work your way into sharing in its benefits. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Nothing will make you happier than doing what you can for loved ones in order to fulfill their needs. You’ll do everything possible to make their lives easier. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Although you can tend to be a loner at times, today it’ll be some kind of partnership arrangement that will bring you a sense of fulfillment. Team up whenever you can. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Do not underestimate what you do for others, whether it is performing some kind of complicated task or simply doing someone a favor. Your talents and efforts will be greatly appreciated. United FeatUre Syndicate

Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve been reading your articles for years. I hope that you may have some guidance for me. I had my first heart attack in 1978 at the age of 47 1⁄2, and had triple bypasses in ‘83 and ‘90. I decided to follow the advice of my doctor at that point and retired on Social Security disability. I took my meds — but two years ago my teeth started falling out. My new dentist billed me $10,000 to fix things, but his work started falling out within two years. When I went to him for my last repair, he said nitrates used for heart problems cause deep root decay in teeth. He recI DR. PETER ommended simply use GOTT “stickums” like Fixodent to keep them in place like dentures. Is that true? No cardiologist ever mentioned that possibility. If it is true, is there a corrective medication? In six weeks or so I will celebrate my 80th year on Earth. Dentists say they can put in expensive fixes for between $15,000 and $30,000. Maybe I’ll just have soup until God calls me! My medications have been metoprolol and Coreg; and now isosorbide mononitrate. Ever heard a tale like this? Any recommendations? Oh, yeah. After my first triple bypass in 1983, I awakened totally blind, which lasted two to three months. Blood thinners helped about 20 per-
cent of my vision to return. Dear Reader: I am unaware of either metoprolol or isosorbide mononitrate having any connection with losing teeth. However, Coreg does identify periodontitis as a potential side effect. This disorder occurs when inflammation and infection of the gums is delayed or remains left untreated. The inflammation and infection spread to the ligaments and bones that support the teeth and hold them in place. As a result, the teeth loosen and can eventually fall out. Symptoms of periodontitis include gums that bleed easily, are bright red or purple in color, halitosis (bad breath), gum tenderness (especially in the presence of abscess), and loose teeth that ultimately fall out. Dental plaque deposits under the gums may also be present. You should incorporate good oral hygiene immediately by having your teeth cleaned by a dentist twice each year and at home through brushing and flossing after meals. Even at 80 you are never too old to learn. Your dentist can provide instructions on how to brush, floss and prevent gingivitis from occurring. Make an appointment now before you lose any more teeth and are out of pocket more money than you already are. At the same time, return to the doctor who prescribed your Coreg. Explain your situation and ask if another medication can be substituted that doesn’t have this devastating side effect. With respect to your loss of vision, this is a rare complica-
tion following open heart surgery, stroke, seizure, from treatment of some forms of chemotherapy, and the use of cyclosporine used to prevent organ transplant rejection. Vision, either full or partial, may return within days of the event in some cases. The outlook depends on the cause. Readers who would like related information can order my Health Report “Consumer Tips on Medicine” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order payable to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O.

The first card is the deepest BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Several singers have released versions of “The First Cut Is the Deepest.” Well, sometimes at the bridge table, the first card is the deepest. The right opening lead can make the difference between success and failure for the defenders. This week, let’s look at the key aspects of leading. The most important is to analyze the auction. From that, you will have some chance of calculating how the play might go — as in this deal. Look at the West hand and the auction. What should West lead against four spades? Note that North must jump to game on the second round; lower spade bids would be nonforcing.
Beckham, wife Victoria welcome baby LONDON (AP) — David Beckham’s spokesman said that the soccer star’s wife Victoria has given birth to a healthy baby girl on Sunday. Simon Oliveira said that the celebrity couple are “delighted to announce the birth of their daughter.” “Happy and healthy she arrived at 7.55 am this morning at Cedars Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and weighed 7lbs 10oz,” Oliveira posted on Twitter, adding that the Beckhams’ three sons “are excited to
welcome their baby sister to the family.” The Beckhams, who married in 1999 and whose celebrity is entrenched on both sides of the Atlantic, already have three boys: Brooklyn, 11, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 5. The family have yet to announce a name for the little girl, who was born the morning after Beckham scored to give the Los Angeles Galaxy a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire, extending his team’s Major League Soccer unbeaten streak to 12 matches.
The club queen is a tempting choice. But watch what happens. Declarer takes the trick on the board and plays a diamond to, say, his nine. West can shift to a
trump, but South wins with dummy’0s ace and plays another diamond. West takes that trick and leads another trump, but declarer wins the trick, ruffs a diamond in the dummy, crosses to his heart ace, trumps his last diamond, cashes dummy’s heart king and remaining high club, then ruffs the club three for his contract. South wins three high spades, two hearts, two clubs, two diamond ruffs on the board and one club ruff in his hand. Let’s go back to trick one. With such strong diamonds sitting over South, West ought to lead a spade. (If necessary, there will be time to shift to a club later.) Declarer will follow the same line of play, but West will be able to lead three rounds of trumps, restricting declarer to one diamond ruff, not two, and resulting in down one.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Hot and humid weather will continue across much of the South on Monday as a warm front lingers in the Mid-Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys and high pressure builds behind it. The front will pull significant moisture across the Deep South through the day while a ridge of high pressure triggers strong heating in areas from the Southern and Central Plains through parts of the Southeast. Moist air and strong daytime highs near the century mark will create dangerous heat conditions during the afternoon. Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist in Florida due to a slow moving trough of low pressure and intense moisture. To the north, a frontal boundary and wave of low pressure will move through the Upper Midwest with active weather. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will form ahead of the system from parts of the Upper Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley through areas of the Central and Northern High Plains. Some of these storms may turn severe with damaging wind and hail. In the West, monsoon moisture in the Southwest will continue to create chances of afternoon scattered thunderstorms.

Another 3-ball gaffe by umps Associated Press ANAHEIM, Calif. — For the second time in nine days, the Seattle Mariners and an umpiring crew simultaneously forgot how to count to four. Angels designated hitter Bobby Abreu was allowed to take first base on a three-ball count in the third inning of Los Angeles’ 4-2 victory over the Mariners on Sunday. Incredibly, the same thing happened to Seattle on July 2 against San Diego. “That’s happened twice,” Seattle ace Felix Hernandez said. “Only to us.” Home plate umpire Gerry Davis apparently lost track of Hernandez’s count on Abreu, and the Seattle dugout didn’t protest when Abreu dropped his bat on a 3-1 count and trotted to first base. Abreu also thought he had taken four balls, only learning he got it wrong when he returned to the dugout. Last weekend, San Diego’s Cameron Maybin took first on a 2-2 pitch and eventually scored the only run in the fifth inning of the Mariners’ 1-0 loss to the Padres. Seattle manager Eric Wedge called a team meeting after that fiasco to apologize for missing the count. Wedge claimed he wasn’t even upset about Abreu’s early walk — and not just because it didn’t hurt the Mariners. Hernandez quickly retired Vernon Wells and Howie Kendrick, leaving Abreu stranded at first base.
Associated Press NEW YORK — James Shields and B.J. Upton made bad throwing errors that let Robinson Cano score the only run, sending CC Sabathia and the New York Yankees to a 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. A day after Derek Jeter got five hits, including No. 3,000, All-Stars Shields and Sabathia (13-4) staged a classic pitchers’ duel, matching zeros until the bottom of the seventh inning. Cano led off with a single, and Jorge Posada’s popup to shallow center was gloved on the run by Upton, who wound up and rocketed a throw well over first baseman Casey Kotchman’s head. Cano moved to third, and took a big lead. Shields (8-7), one of the toughest pitchers to run against in the game, then tried to pick him off. The ball went wide and a stunned and happy Cano trotted home. Sabathia finished a four-hitter for his 12th career shutout as New York won two of three against AL East-rival Tampa Bay in their final series before the All-Star break. Red Sox 8, Orioles 6 BOSTON — Marco Scutaro, Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis homered in the second inning, leading Boston to its sixth consecutive victory. The Red Sox completed a four-game sweep and stayed one game ahead of the Yankees in the AL East, the sixth time in seven seasons that Boston has led the division at the All-Star break. Baltimore has lost seven straight and 12 of 13. Tigers 2, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Justin Verlander became the first Tigers pitcher to earn his 12th win before the All-Star break in 24 years and Detroit climbed past Cleveland into first place in the AL Central.

detroit ace Justin Verlander fires a fastball past a Kansas city hitter on sunday. Verlander (12-4) pitched innings in the sweltering heat to match Jack Morris’ win total in 1987. Striking out the side in the second and sixth, he fanned nine altogether while raising his league-leading strikeout total to 147. The heat index on the concourse of the stadium in the eighth inning was 113. Angels 4, Mariners 2 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Alberto Callaspo hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning, Dan Haren pitched five-hit ball before falling one out short of his second straight complete game, and the Los Angeles Angels rolled into the All-Star break with their 14th victory in 17 games. Twins 6, White Sox 3 CHICAGO — Anthony Swarzak domi-
nated over six innings, and Minnesota won three of four in the series. Blue Jays 7, Indians 1 CLEVELAND — Jose Bautista hit a tworun double to help Toronto head to the AllStar break with a three-game winning streak. Rangers 2, A’s 0 ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt Harrison pitched six-hit ball into the eighth inning, Adrian Beltre homered in his third consecutive game and the Texas Rangers extended their winning streak to a season-best seven games with a victory over the Oakland Athletics. Harrison (7-7) struck out seven and walked one, and Neftali Feliz completed the shutout by working a perfect ninth.
Ibanez gives Hamels plenty of support Associated Press PHILADELPHIA — Raul Ibanez homered and drove in six runs for Philadelphia, backing eight strong innings by Cole Hamels. Hamels (11-4) allowed three hits and one run. The left-handerallowed just one hit after the second inning and retired his final 13 batters. The Phillies (57-34) took two of three in the series to increase their lead to 31/2 games over Atlanta in the NL East. They also matched the club record for wins in the first half, tying the 1993 team. Pirates 9, Cubs 1 PITTSBURGH — Andrew
McCutchen homered and drove in five runs, and Pittsburgh entered the All-Star break with their best record in 19 years. McCutchen backed Paul Maholm with a three-run homer and two sacrifice flies. Neil Walker went 3 for 4, and Alex Presley had two hits and scored two runs for Pittsburgh. The Pirates (47-43) have their best record and are closer to first place this late in the season than at any time since their most recent winning season in 1992. Brewers 4, Reds 3 MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers pounced on Cincinnati Reds closer Francisco Cordero, rallying in the ninth for a 4-3 victory on Sunday.
Dodgers 4, Padres 1 LOS ANGELES — Andre Ethier homered twice before heading off to his second straight All-Star game, and the Dodgers earned their seasonhigh fourth straight victory. Cardinals 4, Diamondbacks 2 ST. LOUIS — Jaime Garcia won for the sixth time at home and David Freese homered for the first time since April 12, helping the Cardinals earn a four-game split of the series. Nationals 2, Rockies 0 WASHINGTON — Jordan Zimmermann took a shutout into the seventh inning, Roger Bernadina and Rick Ankiel provided the offense, and Washington went to the All-Star break
with a .500 record for the first time since 2005. Marlins 5, Astros 4 MIAMI — Mike Cameron belted a tying two-run homer for his first hit since joining the Marlins, who completed a fourgame sweep. Giants 0, Mets 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Pablo Sandoval celebrated his first All-Star game selection by hitting an RBI double to extend his hitting streak to 21 games and fellow All-Star Matt Cain pitched six scoreless innings. Nate Schierholtz added four hits and an RBI for the Giants, who have won four of five to take a three-game lead over Arizona in the NL West.
