Plane crash kills funeral home owner Danny Carroll, wife, granddaughter die in North Myrtle Beach Staff and wire reports

A Kannapolis funeral home owner, his wife and their granddaughter died Wednesday night in an airplane crash in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. Danny Carroll, 54, his wife Raychel, 66, and their 4-year-old granddaughter, Mallory Fields, died on impact, authorities say. It was unclear Thursday what caused the crash, and federal investigators said it could take six to 12 months to complete an investigation.

KANNAPOLIS — Friends remembered Danny and Raychel Carroll on Wednesday as kind people committed to family, faith and community. “You could not meet nicer people,” said the Rev. Rick Ross, lead pastor of Concord First Assembly, where the couple were members. Danny, 54, Raychel, 66, and their 4-year-old granddaughter Mallory Fields died Wednesday night in an airplane crash in North Myrtle Beach, S.C. Mallory was the daughter of Tony and Sara Fields of Concord. Sara Fields is the Carrolls’ daughter.

News of the tragedy spread Thursday across a stunned community. Danny was co-owner of Lady’s Funeral Home in Kannapolis and Raychel was a retired school teacher. The couple were well-known throughout the area as people who cared about others. “They leave a tremendous legacy in the life of this town,” said Sharon Childress, who lives with her husband, Tommy — an A.L. Brown High classmate of Raychel’s — next door to the Carrolls’ home on Peacehaven Road. And that extends beyond the town where they lived. The campus at First Assembly spreads out on both sides of U.S. 29 in Concord, but on Thursday it was all connected by the loss of two

Major crackdown on Wall Street, banks passes WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress on Thursday passed the stiffest restrictions on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression, clamping down on lending practices and expanding consumer protections to prevent a repeat of the 2008 meltdown that knocked the economy to its knees. A year in the making and 22 months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered a worldwide panic in credit and other markets, the bill cleared its final hurdle with a 60-39 Senate vote. It now goes to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature, expected as early as Wednesday. The law will give the government new powers to break up companies that threaten the economy, create a new agency to guard consumers in their financial transactions and shine a light into shadow financial markets

that escaped the oversight of regulators. The vote came on the same day that Goldman Sachs & Co. agreed to pay a record $550 million to settle charges that it misled buyers of mortgage-related investments. From storefront payday lenders to the biggest banking and investment houses on Wall Street, few players in the financial world are immune to the bill’s reach. Consumer and investor transactions, whether simple debit card swipes or the most complex securities trades, face new safeguards or restrictions. Large, failing financial institutions would be liquidated and the costs assessed on their surviving peers. The Federal Reserve is getting new powers while falling under greater congressional scrutiny. “I’m about to sign Wall Street reform into law, to protect consumers and lay the foun-

dation for a stronger and safer financial system, one that is innovative, creative, competitive and far less prone to panic and collapse,” Obama said. “Unless your business model depends on cutting corners or bilking your customers, you have nothing to fear.” Republicans said the bill is a vast federal overreach that will drive financial-sector jobs overseas. Before the final vote was even cast, House Republican leader John Boehner called for its repeal. At an eye-glazing 390,000 words — half the size of the King James Bible — the legislation doesn’t offer a quick remedy, however. Rather, it lays down prescriptions for regulators to act. In many cases, the real impact

Woman charged with snatching purse from friend A Faith woman has been charged with snatching a purse from a friend’s home. According to a report from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Melissa Ott of Salisbury reported that Tamara Lea Propst had called her to ask if she could have $25. Propst was upset and said she needed the money because her boyfriend, Larry Wayne Call, was in jail after being arrested and charged with first-degree

murder in the death of Kevin Michael Rufty. Ott agreed to give Propst the money. Several hours later, the report says, Propst came to Ott’s home at PROPST 450 Peach Orchard Road with a friend, but rather than taking the $25 Ott had agreed to lend her, she stole

Ott’s purse. Propst and her friend then ran to their vehicle to drive away. Ott told officers that she ran after the getaway car and stuck her head inside the window to try and grab her purse back. Propst drove off with Ott still partially inside the car. A few hundreds yards down the road, Ott fell out of the car. Ott called the Sheriff’s Office and officers had her transported by ambulance to the hospital

because she had been scraped up and was complaining of back pain. After detectives located Propst, she was arrested and charged with common law robbery and placed in the Rowan County jail on a $2,500 bond. Propst’s boyfriend, Call, was arrested in June in the stabbing death of the 43-year-old Rufty. A Rowan County grand jury indicted Call on the first-degree murder charges Wednesday.

CRASH FROM 1a through trees, then into the mobile home park before bursting into flames, the Myrtle Beach Sun News reported. FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the plane had taken off from Grand Strand Airport in Myrtle Beach and was heading to Concord Regional Airport. In a press conference in North Myrtle Beach Thursday afternoon, an investigator from the National Transportation Safety Board said Danny Carroll had been instructed by the tower to climb from 700 to 6,000 feet just before the plane crashed, according to a report in the Myrtle Beach Sun News. He acknowledged the instruction and began to climb before the aircraft went off

Danny Carroll, an experienced pilot, is seen with a plane in this photo from his Facebook site. the radar, Bob Gretz, a NTSB senior air safety investigator, said at the news conference. There was no emergency call from the plane, Gretz said. Belinda Haskins, a 60-yearold retiree who lives across

from where the plane crashed, said it came down between two mobile homes, with wreckage and fuel setting one trailer on fire and melting the siding on another. “I thought a propane tank had exploded,� Haskins said.

“It was an incredible fire, flames reaching to the tree tops.� One man who was standing outside a mobile home next to the one hit by the plane remained in a burn center in Atlanta, the Myrtle Beach Sun News reported. Ronnie Bryant, 34, suffered burns from the explosion. The Myrtle Beach newspaper reported three others — Sandra Freeman, 54; Robert John Werkheiser, 38; and Keith Lewis 35 — were treated and released from area hospitals. Werkheiser suffered a concussion, some bruising and needed some stitches at the hospital. Freeman’s hair caught fire after the explosion but was quickly extinguished. The people who lived in the mobile home damaged the most were at church and the people who were injured on the ground got hurt trying to

rescue a small dog and move a car parked near one of the homes, Haskins said. The weather at the airport near the time of the crash was overcast with visibility of 10 miles and winds from the southwest at 13 mph. “It looked like fine weather for flying to me,� said Haskins, who said she has a pilot’s license. Carroll had been a licensed pilot since 1991. FAA records show he held a license to fly a single-engine airplane and possessed an instrument rating, meaning he was qualified to fly at night. Sharon and Tommy Childress, who live next door to the Carroll home on Peacehaven Road in Kannapolis,

said Danny Carroll belonged to a flying club that allowed its members to borrow planes. The couple said Danny and Raychel often flew with their grandchildren on day trips to the beach. The Horry County coroner said the Carrolls and their granddaughter died as a result of trauma from the impact of the crash, the Myrtle Beach Sun Times reported. The coroner planned to perform an autopsy. According to the FAA website, the plane, which was manufactured in 1979, is registered to Robert O'Neale III of Bampton Drive in Concord. No one returned a message left Thursday at a number listed for O’Neale.

CRACKDOWN FROM 1a

Former Gov. Terry Sanford, left, speaks to Don and Pat Weinhold, before the Salisbury couple’s tragic death in a plane crash in 1991.

Death of Carrolls in S.C. brings back memories of other fatal plane crashes BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com

For many people in Salisbury, the plane crash that killed Danny and Raychel Carroll Wednesday brought back the memory of former Mayor Don Weinhold Jr. and his family. It was the day after Christmas — Dec. 26, 1991. On a stormy evening flight, the twin-engine plane Weinhold was piloting crashed in a heavily wooded area near Hilton Head, S.C. Dead were Weinhold, 45; wife Pat, 44; son Brandt, 19; daughter Melena, 23; and Pat’s aunt, Bobbie Womble, 64. The tragedy sent shockwaves through the community. Don, mayor from 1979 to 1981, was a busy attorney and active Democrat. Pat operated a dance studio on South Fulton Street. Their children were college students. Nine hundred people attended the joint funeral at St. John’s Lutheran Church for the four Weinholds. A rose of a different color marked each urn. The emotional service was broadcast live on local radio station WSTP. “We were not prepared for this — the sorrow of this day,� said the Rev. Carl Sachtleben. “... Each was still a child to someone.� Weinhold, meticulous in everything he did, was considered an excellent pilot. But

David Drye, a Concord businessman, was killed in a plane crash in 1999. he had not flown his Beechcraft Baron much in the months before the crash. More than a year after the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board released its findings. The plane’s left engine lost power as Weinhold headed for Savannah Airport after being diverted from Hilton Head Airport because of bad weather. He did not or could not maintain enough speed to stay aloft. “I’m going down,� he told the Savannah control tower after reporting engine trouble, and the plane disappeared from radio and radar contact. nnn A 1999 plane crash at Concord Airport sent reverberations through Cabarrus and Rowan. Killed were local developers David and Ann Drye, colleague Mark Carlson and pilot Kelly Ward of Corporate Air Fleet.

The Dryes owned David Drye Co. Carlson was vice president of their company, which developed thousands of apartments, including Lakewood Apartments and Alexander Place in Salisbury. David Drye was also a conservative political activist and religious leader. The Dryes were bound for Anderson, S.C., and then for the Dryes’ summer home near Charleston. They did not get far. The pilot reported engine trouble soon after takeoff and tried to get back to the airport. The twin-engine Cessna crashed nose down and shattered on impact three miles away. The NTSB said the pilot did not react correctly after the plane’s right engine failed.

won’t be felt for years. One of the top regulators who will be charged with implementing the law, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, said the Senate vote represents a “farreaching step toward preventing a replay of the recent financial crisis.� The Senate’s final passage of the bill, two weeks after the House approved it, is a welcome achievement for a president and congressional Democrats, both increasingly unpopular with voters four months from midterm elections that threaten to put Republicans in charge of Congress. Only three Republicans voted for it — Maine Sens. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, and Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown. Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, who has said the bill is not tough enough, voted with most Republicans against it. The law has been a priority for Obama, ranking just behind his health care overhaul enacted in March. In its final form, the package hews closely to the plan unwrapped a year ago by the White House and in some ways is even tougher. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs promptly cast the vote in political terms. “This will be a vote that Democrats will talk about through November as a way of highlighting the choice that people will get to make in 2010,� he said. Though it calls for the biggest changes in generations, it does not approach the scope of the New Deal banking rules enacted under President Roosevelt.

Police thwart attempted break-in

kchaffin@salisburypost.com

“That’s my life,” says Deedee Wright of the display of blackand-white photographs on the brick fireplace and mantel of her Salisbury home. On the left top corner, she is with the late great Duke Ellington. She was a senior at Clark College in Atlanta when he appeared there, and she was asked to provide him with his pre-performance drink of warm water and lemon. In the middle is a double frame of two mug shots — a side view and a closeup head shot — taken following her arrest as part of the Greenville Eight who refused to leave the whites-only Greenville, S.C., Public Library 50 years ago today. The side view looks more like a portrait. She’s smiling and wearing a pretty dress. The closeup of her face shows no signs of the defiance or fear that often show up in mug shots. Her dark eyes are intense, reflecting the deep resolve of someone who has mustered up the courage to stand up for what’s right regardless of the consequences. Wright calls it the turtle principle: “You have to take risks, and you only move ahead by sticking your neck out.” • • • The risk Wright and her fellow high school students took 50 years ago today made history. It all began in March of 1960 when they walked inside the allwhite Greenville Public Library. When they refused to leave, they were arrested. Later that month, Wright, who was president of the Greenville Youth Council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (more commonly known as the NAACP) returned with other students. This time when they refused to leave, the library closed. On July 16, 1960, a group of them returned, accompanied by the now-Rev. Jesse Jackson, who needed to look up a book for a report he had to turn in upon returning to college. “We were arrested and put in a paddy wagon,” she says, “which you don’t hear of anymore. It was like a big van ...” They were taken to the police station and booked, Wright says, spending about 30 to 45 minutes in the county jail before being released on bond. Later that month, attorney Donald Sampson filed a suit in federal court on behalf of the group to integrate the two Greenville public libraries. On Sept. 2, the libraries closed, according to news accounts. Judge C.C. Wyche dismissed the suit a few days later because the libraries were at that point nonexistent. The Greenville Public Library reopened on Sept. 19 as an integrated facility. Wright attended a ceremony at the new Greenville Public Library last Sunday commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Greenville Eight along with Jackson, Elaine Means, Margaree Crosby and Benjamin Downs. “It was really exciting,” she says. “The librarian gave us all library cards which was a nice touch.” Jackson was quoted in the local media as saying: “Somehow we all finished college and went on to replace old walls with new bridges.”

Officers from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office arrived just in time to stop what could have been a very dangerous situation for a Salisbury woman. Nancy Taylor of 1101 McCanless Road told police she saw a man trying to break into her home from her back porch. Taylor said she ran to the kitchen door and locked it, then fled to her bedroom and called 911. The intruder was able to break into her house despite the locked door. Taylor told him that she had dogs in her home that would bite him, but the man did not HALL respond. Taylor used the chain lock on her bedroom door to try and keep the man out. She told police that the man was pushing on the door only held by the chain lock when officers arrived. Responding officer C.T. Earnhardt arrested Vernon Mitchell Hall, 58, of 110 Hall St., in Cleveland, on the scene with assisting officer J.R. Davis. Taylor told officers that she did not know Hall and had never seen him before he broke into her home. Hall has been charged with first-degree burglary and is being held in the Rowan County jail on a $25,000 bond.

A baseball coach has been charged after allegations that he took money from the parents of baseball players for a tournament but never paid the tournament dues. On June 25, Randy File, the parent of a baseball player on the N.C. State Cyclones, which is an organized traveling baseball team, reported that the team’s coach, Carl Allen Godsey of Salisbury, had taken money from him and other parents. Godsey was supposed to use that money to pay tournament fees to get the players into the Cooperstown Tournament. File told officers that Godsey had never paid for the tournament, but had kept the money. Officer C.T. Earnhardt of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office investigated the incident and spoke with other parents who made similar claims. On Tuesday, officers were able to locate and arrest Godsey. He has been charged with 15 counts of obtaining property by false pretense and held under a $1,500 bond. The Cyclones went ahead and paid the fees again, and were able to play ball in the Cooperstown Tournament.

Teen says he was shot in park while playing football A Salisbury teen told police officers he was shot while playing football in a park early in the afternoon Wednesday. Kenneth Leroy, 17, claimed that he and his friends were playing football near 530 Harrell St. when they heard two gunshots. Leroy told police that he didn’t notice that he had been shot until one of his friends pointed out that he was bleeding from his right shin. Leroy told officers he then went to his cousin’s house where he used hydrogen peroxide on the wound and bandaged it, and then fell asleep for several hours. He said he later woke up in pain from the gunshot wound and went to his mother’s house. Leroy’s mother told officers that when he arrived he was crying, shirtless and wet, and that she took Leroy to a hospital. According to police, X-rays showed no bullet in Leroy’s leg, no internal injury to his leg and no exit wound. Deputy Police Chief Steve Whitley stressed that the police department takes all reports of shootings very seriously, but that “we are very skeptical of his version of the events and we are looking into it.” “There are a whole lot of unanswered questions that need to be addressed,” he said. The incident is still under investigation.

Neville Owen, from the University of Queensland in Australia, sits on an exercise ball during a conference on sitting at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif.

Standing room only at Stanford sitting risks event PALO ALTO, Calif. (AP) — As you might expect at a conference on the health dangers of sitting, most of the seats were empty. It was well attended, but the scientists and health experts who did gather Thursday at Stanford University were encouraged to get up from their chairs, stretch their legs, pace the room, even stand during discussions ranging from the risks of inactivity to technological solutions for reducing time on one’s behind. “Certainly the irony of having everyone sit through a conference on the perils of sitting was not lost on us,” said Anne Friedlander, a consulting professor of human biology at Stanford and an organizer of the two-day conference entitled The Science of Sedentary Behavior. Friedlander opened the event by telling participants that they could monitor their sit-time on a timer displayed on a big screen behind the lectern. Alternative seating, including exercise balls, was also available. A campus walking tour would end the day. “It’s almost impossible to sit down for long periods when you know what’s going on in your body while you’re sitting,” Friedlander said. Although much of the research into the health risks is preliminary, several studies suggest that people who spend prolonged periods on their behind are more likely to be overweight, have heart disease or even die. Inactivity, the studies also say, decreases circulation and the body starts shutting down on a metabolic level. The goal of the conference was to discuss the existing science on the topic and what research is still needed. Neville Owen, professor of health behavior at the University of Queensland in Australia, said much of the research into sedentary behavior also has fo-

cused on weight gain or loss. Another goal of the conference is to approach the subject more broadly, knowing that preliminary research shows that prolonged sitting effects more than just your waistline, he said. “We can’t let ourselves get sucked in to one particular track,” Owen said. “That’s just not the whole story.” Participants were quick to note challenges to new research, including separating the many variables that can influence bad health from the sole act of sitting. They wondered, for example, does a bus driver tend to have poorer health because he or she sits all day or is it because of the stress of the job? Is watching too much TV harmful because of the hours spent lounging on the couch or is it because commercials encourage you to eat more? “We know there are links between too much sitting and risks to health,” said David Dunstan, an associate professor at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia. “But we have yet to figure out the exact causes and to what effect.” There’s also no consensus on how much sitting is too much, though there is evidence suggesting that interrupting periods of prolonged sitting with frequent breaks is beneficial. Marc Hamilton, a professor of inactivity physiology at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La., said the science needs to get to the point where policymakers can issue guidelines that will help people make healthful choices. He drew a comparison to research on sun burns. “How much sun exposure is too much? No one really knows, but we’ve gotten to a point where we can say confidently that we should limit our time in the sun,” Hamilton said.

Livingstone says it responds to man’s claim of stolen identity Livingstone College officials say they did respond to a Colorado man who claims his identity was stolen by someone who used it to work at the college in 2007. Albert McNeil, of Denver, Colo., told Salisbury Police that someone used his Social Security number in 2007 to work at Livingstone part time after he had taken classes at Hood Theological Seminary. McNeil said he tried re-

peatedly to get in touch with Livingstone College, but hasn’t been able to get a response. Laurie Willis, a spokeswoman for Livingstone, said the college did reply to those letters. “I have looked into the matter and found the college has responded to Mr. McNeill on several occasions,” Willis said in an e-mail to the Post. “We have no further comment on the matter at this time.”

Tanker truck taken on joyride to Iredell County A tanker truck was stolen and taken on a joyride to Iredell County on Tuesday. The theft was initially discovered when a hit-and-run was reported near the Quality Inn in Salisbury just after 6 p.m. A man contacted the Highway Patrol to say that he’d been involved in an accident with a tanker truck that had driven away from the scene. The man was able to jot down the license plate number before the tanker truck drove away. Following up on the information, the Highway Patrol determined that the 2003 Sterling tanker truck was owned by Cantrell and Cantrell Co. They then passed the case on to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Department. Chris Cantrell of Cantrell and Cantrell told officers that the truck must have been stolen. The employee driving the tanker that day, Chris Dove, told officers that he had left the tanker truck on a job site on the 700 block of Hannah Ferry Road. He told offi-

cers he had left the keys in the truck at the end of the day. The truck was found the next day in Iredell County. Whoever had driven off with the tanker had filled it up with gas before abandoning it.

Estranged aide to John Edwards reaches movie deal RALEIGH (AP) — An insider’s account of John Edwards’ affair and the lengths he went to hide his mistress will be developed into a movie, a former aide to the two-time presidential candidate said Thursday. Andrew Young said that he has reached a deal with writer and producer Aaron Sorkin. He declined to discuss the terms of the agreement. Young’s book, “The Politician,” detailed how he helped hide Edwards’ mistress during the candidate’s second campaign for the White House. Sorkin was the writer of the play “A Few Good Men” and the television series “The West Wing.” “He was the perfect one to write this,” Young said. “I was

really impressed by him and really impressed how he was focused on the tragedy of this rather than the tawdry.” Young declined to speculate about which actors might play which parts. A representative for Sorkin did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the aftermath of the 2008 presidential campaign, Edwards has admitted that he fathered a child with Rielle Hunter. The former North Carolina senator and his wife are now separated. Edwards’ mistress, Rielle Hunter, is locked in a legal battle with Young over a sex tape that Young said shows the presidential candidate. Young contends that he found the tape in a box of trash that she left behind while Hunter argues that the tape was with her personal property.

Swine farms not making energy from waste RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina program to turn pig waste into power has failed to produce results. The problems with the program may mean the state will not meet a requirement that electric power companies generate nearly 0.1 percent of North Carolina’s total retail

electricity sales from swine waste. In the three years since a voluntary, pilot program started, no registered swine farms have produced any electricity. Some farmers are reluctant to spend the money on the generators needed. North Carolina has nearly as many pigs as people and swine waste has been a recurring issue. North Carolina swine gen-

erate about 13 million pounds of manure and urine a day. The waste is normally flushed from barns into open-air lagoons, after which it is sprayed on fields as fertilizer.

Man gets 150 days in prison for shooting elk ASHEVILLE (AP) — A North Carolina man has been sentenced to 150 days in prison for fatally shooting an elk in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Bruce Wayne Cromer Jr. of Stovall had pleaded guilty in June to the November 2009 shooting. Elk No. 21 had been introduced into the park 10 years ago as part of a program to repopulate the species. U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Howell also ordered to Cromer to forfeit his rifle, which was autographed by NASCAR legend Richard Petty. Cromer will also lose his hunting license for two years and has been banned from all national parks for the same time period. Elk No. 21 was the first to be poached since 52 elk were released in 2001. More than 100 elk now roam the park. Estate of Richard D. Dixon to Joshua J. Runkles, $93,000.

WILMINGTON (AP) — A North Carolina Republican running for the U.S. House says he has raised almost $200,000 from grass roots supporters in his bid to unseat seven-term Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre. GOP nominee Ilario Pantano told The Associated Press on Thursday that his campaign raised more than $211,000 during the second quarter, much of it coming from individual supporters. Pantano is taking on McIntyre in North Carolina’s 7th Congressional District. McIntyre beat his GOP opponent by a more than 2-to-1 margin in the 2008 election. The former Marine officer who served in Iraq said the fundraising numbers show that his campaign has momentum and that citizens in the district are “voting early and they are doing it with their pocket books.”

Cooper and lawmakers joined Perdue in a bill-signing ceremony on Thursday at the Greenville police department. The measure directs police starting in February to take DNA samples of suspects charged with murder, rape and other serious crimes. The sample will be entered into the state DNA database to determine whether the person may be linked to other crimes. The DNA record will be deleted if the person is acquitted or charges are dismissed. The state already takes a sample when a person is convicted of a felony. Opponents of the bill cited civil liberties concerns.

charges, and plunged 12.6 percent the day they were announced. By the time it reached its closing low of $131.08 on July 2, the stock had fallen nearly 29 percent. Investors viewed Goldman’s settlement as a buying opportunity for a stock that has been hammered since the SEC filed charges. “The SEC case is now behind Goldman as far as investors are concerned,” said independent market analyst Edward Yardeni said, adding that the manageable size of the settlement added to the demand for the company’s shares. “This fine is a bargain for Goldman,” Yardeni said. Goldman’s problems have been a pall on other financial companies and in turn, the overall market. So stocks overall benefited Thursday from news of a deal. A little more uncertainty was lifted from the market late in the day, when the Senate passed and sent to President Barack Obama the financial regulation bill. However, because regulations that will implement the bill’s provisions have yet to be written, traders were still wary. Analysts said that likely contributed to the market’s dip

Judge dismisses $2.3 million verdict against Dole Food

right before word of an SEC announcement. Bill Strazzullo, partner and chief market strategist for Bell Curve Trading in Boston, noted that JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon earlier in the day said it wasn’t possible to estimate the impact of the bill on his company’s profits. “Maybe the reality of it is finally upon us,” Strazzullo said. The Dow fell 7.41, or 0.07 percent, to 10,359.31. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 1.31, or 0.1 percent, to 1,096.48, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 0.76, or 0.03 percent, to 2,249.08. Losing stocks were slightly ahead of gainers on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.6 billion shares, up from 4.1 billion Wednesday. Bond prices rose as investors worried about the economy sought safety the safety of government securities. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, fell to 3 percent from 3.05 percent late Wednesday. For much of the day, the market was down on pessimism about weak economic reports.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Thursday dismissed a $2.3 million judgment against Dole Food Co. in a lawsuit by purported Nicaraguan banana workers, ruling that the company and the court were victims of a massive fraud. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Victoria Chaney said that because of actions by plaintiffs in Nicaragua, it may never be possible for anyone to know the truth of the case. “The plaintiffs have unabashedly tampered with witnesses,” she said, noting that they had threatened investigators who tried to get information in Nicaragua. A jury in 2007 awarded the money to six workers who claimed exposure to pesticides at Dole plantations made them sterile. In Thursday’s ruling, Chaney found that Los An-

geles lawyer Juan J. Dominguez orchestrated a fraud in which he recruited people to say they had been banana workers when they had not. Chaney also found that a series of “John Doe” witnesses who blew the whistle on the fraud were generally credible. The judge dismissed a companion case last year for similar reasons. Testimony in that case showed plaintiffs pretended to have been workers on Dole banana farms in the 1970s and faked lab tests to show they became sterile. Chaney has been elevated to the California 2nd District Court of Appeals, but returned to Los Angeles Superior Court to hear Dole’s motion to throw out the verdict since she handled the original trial. “There has been a massive fraud perpetrated on the court,” she said, citing three legal cases, including the one

she dismissed last year. She rejected claims that the “John Doe” whistleblowers were bribed to expose the fraud, saying: “The court is not persuaded.” The plaintiffs’ lawyer had noted that Dole paid to relocate witnesses to Costa Rica, but the judge said the move was prompted by threats on them. She said Dole may have been “overly generous” in covering their living costs but that she was “unable to uncover instances of bribery by Dole. I do not find that it was to suborn perjury.” On the flip side, she said she found no misconduct by the Texas lawyers who were accused by Dole of participating in the fraud conspiracy. She said Dominguez was clearly a force in setting up the fraud and that he recruited and coached plaintiffs to the point that “their answers resembled rote answers in a catechism class.”

Senate close to restoring jobless benefits WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 2 million workers who have been laid off for long stretches could get their unemployment benefits restored as early as next week. The Senate plans to take up a measure Tuesday to restore the extended benefits, right after a new Democratic senator from West Virginia is sworn in, Senate

Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday. With the death of Sen. Robert Byrd, Senate Democrats had been a vote short of the 60 needed to overcome a GOP filibuster. West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin has said he could name a temporary replacement to fill Byrd’s seat as early as today. The House already has passed a bill to extend the

benefits through November, at a cost of about $34 billion. The borrowed money would add to the national debt. About 2.5 million people have lost their benefits since the last extension ran out at the end of May. The bill would add up to 73 weeks of extra benefits, paid for by the federal government, on top of the 26 weeks typically provided by states.

NEW YORK (AP) — Investors gave the stock market a big last-hour turnaround on the anticipation of Goldman Sachs settling the government’s civil fraud charges. As word spread that the Securities and Exchange Commission had scheduled a late-afternoon announcement, investors began buying on the belief that the government and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. had settled the charges that grew out of the sale of securities based on risky mortgages. The $550 million settlement was announced less than an hour after trading ended. Goldman agreed to pay fines of $300 million, the largest fine against a financial company in SEC history, and $250 million to compensate investors who lost money on the securities. The deal also requires Goldman to review how it sells complex financial mortgage investments. The settlement lifts uncertainty that has hovered around Goldman since the charges were announced April 16. Expectations of a deal were enough to make traders temporarily set aside concerns about the economy. A series of disappointing economic reports had sent the Dow Jones industrial average down nearly 100 points in late trading. The Dow scrambled back to a loss of just 7 by the close.

Wife stuck in marital malaise your life, but you might be able to get closer to the joy you once experienced by working to reconnect with the person you used to be. In my view, living with a husband you “don’t love but don’t mind living with” sounds like a recipe for longterm distress. If you can separate for a short time, you might be able to sort out your feelings. You might start by taking a meditative retreat. Your goal should be to take an objective look at your life to see how you can live more authentically and make positive changes. Dear Amy: Recently my daughters held a surprise 25th wedding anniversary for my husband and me. About 40 people attended. Although my husband’s family and many friends were there, no one in my family showed up. My sister-in-law from Switzerland attended. My brother-in-law, who lives four hours away, managed to make it for a few hours, although he had to drive back home that evening. My family lives about four hours away. My father’s claim was that there was construction along the route and he didn’t want to navigate it. My brother said his motherin-law was having a problem and so he couldn’t make it. One sister never gave me a reason why she wasn’t there. I am fuming and feel like sending a letter to them. Should I? — Fuming in California Dear Fuming: You could write a letter to your family members, as long as you think it through. Scolding them through a letter might not have the effect you’d hope, however. It might only serve to make them defensive and

cause them to brand you as extra-sensitive. You might do better by simply asking each family member, “Can you imagine how I felt knowing that you weren’t willing to or interested in making the effort to attend this celebration? I missed you very much.” If you did this, in addition to receiving a (possibly lame) explanation or excuse, you might also get an apology. Dear Amy: “Worried Son” wrote about his raging and jealous father. About 25 years ago, much the same happened with the family of a friend of mine. My friend’s father wrote a series of vicious, rage-filled letters to his mother and sisters. He then turned on his wife with verbal accusations. Finally, when she told him, “Either you see a doctor or I am leaving you,” they went to a psychiatrist together. The diagnosis? Bipolar disorder. My friend and I felt that what set the whole thing off was his retirement. His many years of hard work as an engineer, complete with a lot of travel around the U.S., had kept it in check. Once he retired, all hell broke loose. — Jean Dear Jean: Many readers found “Worried Son’s” story sadly familiar.

Dear Amy: It has been seven years since my husband had an affair with another woman. Although I wanted a divorce for the first couple of years, financial circumstances and family members discouraged me, so I stayed. The disappointment, anger and sadness have subsided through the years but somehow the contentment I once had never returned, even though my husband is nicer now. I’m no longer depressed, but fun things such as going out and traveling just don’t excite me that ASK much anyAMY more. Before the affair, I was a happy person and enjoyed life in general. Now I am much more cynical about men and even women. I used to trust people and give them the benefit of the doubt. I realize that just because my husband broke my trust, not everyone is dishonest. But I am still very guarded and reluctant to trust people. I’ve forgiven my husband, but I no longer feel the same way about him. I don’t love him, but I don’t mind living with him because I don’t like to live alone. My husband never wanted a divorce, and he’s surprised that I still haven’t gotten “over” it. How can I get back that joy I once had? Or is there no hope? — Joyless Dear Joyless: You might not be acutely depressed, but you sound sad and stuck in a sort of malaise.

cool season fescue lawns have gone dormant due to the extreme heat and lack of rain. keep the roots watered and the lawn should turn green again in fall.

Hot weather leaves lawns dormant ool season lawns in Rowan County look as bad as I’ve ever seen them for this time of year. Generally, late July and August is when fescue looks bad. Unfortunately, unseasonably hot weather early in the summer season has been the nemesis for most fescue lawns. Prolonged drought and intense heat have killed or weakened DARRELL fescue BLACKWELDER many lawns. Many have tried to prolong the color of their fescue with irrigation, but excessive heat and now dry weather has caused many lawns to turn brown

C

and look dead. Fescue is a cool season grass that goes dormant with temperatures above 85 degrees. Bottom line-fescue does have drought or heat tolerance. Normally, fescue stays green with irrigation, but this season is not typical and most lawns are pale green or brown. This defense mechanism of the plant shuts down the stomates, reducing transpiration, allowing the grass to survive. Even warm-season drought tolerant grasses such as Bermuda and zoyzia are showing signs of drought and heat stress. Turf specialists at N.C. State University remind homeowners with damaged fescue to focus on “keeping the roots alive and not be so concerned with leaf color at this point.”

Homeowners who have been irrigating their lawns need to continue irrigating at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week to keep the fescue alive. Some have elected to irrigate a halfinch of water three times a week. Make sure irrigation water penetrates at least 6 inches into the soil. The soil may be hard, causing irrigation water to run off. If this is your situation, cut off the sprinklers for an hour to allow water to percolate through and finish the irrigation. Take time to measure your areas receiving irrigation water. Place small tins under the irrigation stream and measure with a ruler. Rain gauges will also suffice. Many fescue lawns in

Rowan County are not irrigated and have gone completely dormant. In this situation, the fescue plant shuts down and turns completely brown. These lawns will recover in the fall. However, it is very important that these lawns are irrigated every three weeks to keep the roots alive. Extreme droughts over long periods of time kill fescue and cool season lawns, especially in the temperatures experienced over the past month. The good news is that when cooler temperatures and rains return in the fall, so do our green lawns.

Bugs come out when the heat comes on BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

Insects are beginning to show in force as the summer continues, especially on trees and shrubs. Extremely hot weather has brought out many unwanted pests. Below are a few questions about problems in your landscape. Q: My azaleas don’t look as green as they were earlier. What could be the problem? The leaves are splotchy and dull. A: Lacebugs are clear winged small insects that feed on azaleas, rhododendron, pyracantha and other woody plants, causing a blanched or stippled appearance on the upper surface of the leaves. As you notice damage, use insec-

Q: I have worms eating my leyland cypress and they are killing them. What can do to control them? A: These are bagworms they need to be controlled as

soon as possible. Pick them off the plant by hand if practical, if not, control them with insecticidal sprays while they are young and still feeding. It is important to kill them as quickly as possible since the insect will continue to feed and eventually kill the plant.

Garden Game begins As summer drags on and gardens struggle, gardeners are not deterred. They’re finding big zucchini, weird looking tomatoes and other unusual fruits and vegetables.So it must be time for Garden Game. This year, the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County is helping out by weighing, measuring and taking photos of oddities. You can take your garden goonies to the Extension Service office at 2727 A Old Concord Road on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays only, between 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Here are the basic rules: • The fruit or vegetable must be odd-looking or un-

usually large (large tomatoes should be entered in the Top Tomato contest). • Items must be home grown — not bought from a store or farmers market. • A person must be photographed with the item, preferably the person who grew it. • Entrants should be able to share their name, phone number and address on a form the Extension Service will provide. • Photos of the best (weirdest?) will appear in the Salisbury Post and on www.salisburypost.com. Sorry, no Salisbury Post or Extension staff may enter. Your reward is the honor of seeing your strange produce in the paper and online.

Time to enter the Top Tomato contest The Salisbury Post, Patterson Farms, the Rowan County Cooperative Extension Service and the Master Gardeners are partnering for the second summer to hold the Top Tomato contest. We’re looking for monster ’maters, the largest you can grow. Rodney Goodman won last year with a 2.66-pound tomato. The prize for the biggest homegrown, Rowan County tomato is $100, provided by the Master Gardener program of the Cooperative Extension Service. The contest runs through Aug. 22, when the winner will be named. If you find an extraordinarily large tomato in your garden, you can enter by taking it to one of the official weigh-in stations. Be prepared to smile for the camera; the contest requires the grower to be photographed with the tomato. The Post will post all the en-

trants’ photos on www.salisburypost.com and print the top contenders in the paper each Friday on the Home & Garden page. Weigh-in stations are: • Patterson Farm Market & Tours, 10390 Caldwell Road, Monday-Saturday, between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Weigh-ins will be conducted by Patterson Farm employees. • Salisbury Post, 131 W. Innes St., Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Weigh-ins will be conducted by employees in the Circulation and Classified Advertising departments. Here are the rules: • Tomatoes must be grown in Rowan County. • Only tomatoes photographed and weighed at the official weigh-in stations will be considered in the contest. • Employees of the Post and Pattersons may not enter; nor can Master Gardener volunteers. • Commercial growers may not participate.

COLUMNS

Advice you need before you begin canning garden bounty • Lids were over-tightened. • Cold jars were immersed in boiling hot water. Food and jars should be hot when placed in the canner. • Jars were placed directly on canner bottom. A canning rack should always be placed on the canner bottom. • Jars were placed in a cold, drafty place to cool. Cool jars on a towel or cutting board at room temperature. • The jars themselves are very often the cause of difficulty. They eventually weaken with age and repeated use. Q. Why do some jars not seal properly? A. Jars do not seal after pressure canning for the following reasons: • Jars were packed too solidly with food or were overfilled. Follow the recipe and make sure to measure headspace correctly, 1/2-inch headspace for fruits and tomatoes, and 1-inch headspace for vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood. • Air bubbles were not worked out before placing the lid on the jar. • Food particles were left on the sealing surface of the jar. Wipe sealing surface with a damp cloth before placing lids on jars. • Fluctuation of pressure during processing caused by an unsteady heat source or steam leakage. • Removing or bumping the pressure regulator before the pressure has dropped completely; pressure must always drop of its own accord. • Lids were not adjusted according to manufacturer’s directions. When jars fail to seal, determine the cause and reprocess or freeze within 24 hours, refrigerate and use within three days. Q. How do I re-can if the lid does not seal? A. Canned food can safely be re-canned if the unsealed

jar is discovered within 24 hours. To re-can, remove the lid and check the jar sealing surface for tiny nicks. Change the jar; if necessary, add a new treated lid and reprocess using the same processing time. Q. Why do some lids become unsealed during storage? A. Lids may seal during processing and then unseal during storage for the following reasons: • Food was processed incorrectly (wrong method or insufficient processing time or pressure). • Hairline cracks in jars permitted entry of spoilage organisms during storage. • Tightening screw band after processing dislodged the seal. • Loss of liquid during processing caused food particles to lodge on rim of jar. • Thin or uneven layer of sealant on canning lid. All jars that become unsealed during storage should be considered spoiled and discarded. Q. How long will canned food keep? A. Properly canned food stored in a cool, dry place (50 to 70 degrees) will retain optimum-eating quality for at least one year. Canned food stored in a warm place near hot pipes, a range, a furnace, or in indirect sunlight may lose some of its eating quality in a few weeks or months, depending on the temperature. Dampness may corrode cans or metal lids and cause

their ideas. Dear Mary: How can I stop the flood of spam e-mail that I receive? I have my spam filter set, and I flag the e-mails that make it through as junk, but they keep coming and coming. What am I missing? — Leslie, e-mail Dear Leslie: I wish I knew. I have done all the things you mention, but still my inbox fills with junk. I’ve come to the conclusion that some junk is just the price we pay for the convenience of e-mail. I find it to be a small annoyance compared with e-mail's benefits. Dear Mary: I read the recent “Everyday Cheapskate” column about using free WiFi in public places instead of paying for service at home. It's a good idea in principle, but I also have read that using freely available Wi-Fi isn’t secure. When you go somewhere like Starbucks, other people can get access to your private information, including passwords and account numbers, and even hack into your laptop. Maybe this won’t happen, but it could. I’m not a geek, but a couple of computer newsletters I get advise people to be careful whenever they are on public networks, because per-

sonal information can be compromised. — Marianne R., e-mail Dear Marianne: You are right. I have confirmed this. You never should access your bank account or pay bills online while using a public WiFi connection. That’s one of the drawbacks to not having Internet access that you pay for. If you do not have access to a secure connection, say, at work or at the home of a friend or relative, pay your bills through the mail, the oldfashioned way. There always is going to be give-and-take when you choose to cut your expenses in significant ways. The trick is to find reasonable work-arounds that will allow you to make those cuts.

A: The best time to control green June beetles is mid-August until early September; if you wait past mid-September, the adequate control is already past. If you choose to use a carbaryl product such as Sevin, apply it to the soil surface but do not water it in. Other grub control products are available at local garden shops and retail outlets labeled to control the grubs.

Let bridal and baby shower games cease Dear Mary: I am stuck in a cycle of nonstop bridal and baby showers. Once wedding events are finished for one couple, the baby showers start, until the next bridal showers start again for someone else. By now, I dread the typical shower games and activities. Do you have any ideas for throwing successful showers without the games and without breaking the bank? — Shan, e-mail MARY Dear Shan: HUNT Take control, girl! There is no protocol that says you must play games at a shower. Serve a lovely lunch or afternoon refreshment. Ask a close friend to give a “devotional,” or short inspirational talk, about the bride- or mother-to-be, and allow your guests to enjoy one another. Once the gifts are opened, thank your guests for coming and help the guest of honor pack up to go home. That’s what I would do. However, I know readers will have many alternatives for you.

processing pressures and times are vital to a safe and successful canning project. Recipes that are older than 1990 are no longer considered safe to use. The USDA changed and updated the approved canning methods in 1989. Processing times are much more precise, based on acid pH factors and your specific altitude. The Ball Blue Book of Preserving is a reliable canning guide that offers current tested instructions on home canning as well as freezing and drying. Q. Why do I need to use “Mason” canning jars? A. Glass home canning jars, sometimes referred to as Mason jars, are designed for durability and reuse. They are the only jars recommended for safe home canning. Constructed of heat-tempered glass, they are able to withstand the superheated steam of the pressure canner, time after time. They are available in standard sizes to ensure proper processing times as specified in recipes. Do not use commercial jars such as those from mayonnaise, pickles and peanut butter. These jars are designed for one commercial use only. They come in irregular sizes and shapes with uneven resealing capabilities. Q. Why do jars break during processing? A. Jars break during processing for the following reasons: • Canner became dry during the processing period. This is caused by either a steam leakage in your canner or by using insufficient water for the processing period. • Commercial jars were used instead of the recommended glass home canning jars. • Cracked or nicked jars were used. • Food was packed too solidly or jars were overfilled.

As the Family and Consumer Science Agent, I receive many calls during the canning season. More often than not, the question is asked repeatedly. With that in mind I thought I would address some of the most common canning questions. Q. Why is it necessary to use a pressure canner for certain types of food? A. During the canning process, enzymes, molds, TOI yeasts and DEGREE bacteria that cause food spoilage are destroyed. Most of these microorganisms are killed by processing food at boiling temperature (212 degrees) for a specified time period. The temperature and time required to destroy bacteria is determined in part by the acidity of the food being canned, along with heat and the natural acid in fruits. Some bacteria, such as Clostridium botulinum, can be more difficult to destroy, so canning at a higher temperature is necessary. Lowacid foods (vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood) must be canned at a temperature of 240 degrees or higher and held there for the time specified in the recipe in order to destroy the bacterial spores present in these foods. Q. My grandmother has some great canning recipes. Are they still reliable? A. Sometimes canning problems arise because of outdated recipes. If the recipe was handed down through the years, it may be seriously incorrect. Always use current instructions and tested canning recipes. There has been extensive research in this area through the years and exact

SECRET SERVICE AGENTS

Protecting the president Governors lead the charge

Secret Service agent for 23 years, Russell Nelson has helped protect U.S. presidents from Ronald Reagan to Barack Obama. He says it doesn’t matter to him professionally if voters choose a Democrat or a Republican. His mission is to “make sure no one, by way of bullet or bomb, takes away the choice of the American people.” More than a life is at stake; the Secret Service protects the presidency itself. Hearing Nelson speak to the Salisbury Rotary Club this week, one realizes just how crucial the Secret Service can be to our democracy. Nelson, special agent in charge in North Carolina, started his career as a police officer in Clovis, Calif. Early brushes with U.S. presidents — and the men protecting them — convinced him he wanted to join the Secret Service. “I was always keenly aware of the men trying to disguise themselves as armed caddies,” Nelson says. He achieved his goal of becoming an agent and one day found himself face to face with Ronald Reagan on the president’s California ranch. “Hello, agent,” Reagan said. Nelson said he could only stammer and stutter in response. His first assignment with George W. Bush also was on a ranch, this one in Texas. With the president’s dog Barney in his lap, the agent rode shotgun as Bush drove a Gator to the spot where he’d encountered a hornet’s nest the day before. Assigned to the White House for eight years under Clinton and Bush, Nelson has been involved in extensive advance work to provide security for presidential visits. The service’s goal is to eliminate any chance of harm, he said. “We don’t like chance.” One Clinton outing ranks among the agent’s most difficult assignments — Clinton’s visit to Morocco for King Hassan’s funeral in 1999. Clinton joined France’s president in walking at the head of the cortege immediately behind the Arab leader’s casket for three miles. “We landed 12 hours before the president,” Nelson said. The Secret Service was protecting the president, “with a million and a half people breathing down on you.” And Nelson still has nightmares about Bush’s 2001 inaugural parade, held amid heightened emotions over whether Bush or Gore won the election. The Secret Service dealt with “so many arrests, so many problems” during that inauguration, Nelson said. Yet when millions flooded Washington, D.C., for Obama’s inauguration, there were no arrests. After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack, Nelson recalled a night when an alarm was sounded at the White House for approaching aircraft. It was surreal, he said, to inform the president that he needed to go someplace safe. “We thought the worst was coming,” Nelson said. It was only a medevac helicopter that failed to use the right code. The Secret Service has many other jobs — fighting Internet crime and counterfeiters, for starters.. But you cannot overstate the importance of this job, protecting the president of the United States.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“When you get to be president, there are all those things, the honors, the 21-gun salutes, all those things. You have to remember it isn't for you. It's for the presidency.” — President Harry S Truman (1884-1972)

n open letter to 24thcentury historians. I’ve left this note for you as a public service. Three hundred years from now, when you study the things that dominated American thought in the summer of 2010, I suspect one pressing question will rise above all others: Who the heck was LeBron James? I’m here to answer that for you but first, let me say how very cool it is (cool was a slang term we used to indicate that a thing LEONARD was good) to PITTS find myself addressing you like this. The idea that you might stumble across these words in some archive of the future, that you might be reading this letter (or absorbing it through your skin or however it is you process text in your era) long after I am dead fills me with questions. I wonder: What is the state of health care in 2310? Is interplanetary travel now routine? Did BP ever get that oil leak fixed? Unless you’ve invented time travel (you haven’t, have you?) there’s no way for you to answer my questions. So let me get down to business and answer yours. Who was LeBron James? Some of you probably think he was a wizard, a mystic or some minor league deity. You’d base that conclusion on press reports indicating that his decision to withdraw from a place called “Cleveland” left that region staggering, devastated, bereft of its civic will to live and ripe for plundering by roving bands of “Lakers,” “Celtics” and “Bulls.” Well, he wasn’t some minor god. Some of you probably think he was a great general who betrayed his own troops in battle. You’d base that conclusion on a letter a man named Dan Gilbert posted on the website (do you still have websites?) of an organization he owned called the “Cleveland Cavaliers.” In it, he accused LeBron James of cowardice, disloyalty, heartlessness, selfishness, callousness and traitorousness — and even put a curse on him. So I can understand how you’d figure LeBron James was a military leader, but he wasn’t that, either. Some of you probably think he was a human rights icon who took some bold stand for freedom. You’d base that conclusion on a statement from a man named Jesse Jackson Sr., who accused Gilbert of treating James like “a runaway slave.” Of course, Gilbert was said to be willing to pay James $125 million over six years for his services; I don’t know how it is in your era, but that was a lot of money back in 2010 — way more than one makes as a slave. So no, LeBron James wasn’t a human rights icon. I’ll keep my promise to answer your question, but the answer is embarrassing. It speaks to the propensity we had in my era for aggrandizing the trivial. And to our tendency to lose all perspective. And to our occasional inability to tell the difference between that which diverts or amuses us and that which defines our entire self-worth. So, who was LeBron James? He was a basketball player. In the summer of 2010, he announced his decision to leave a team that played in Cleveland to join another in a city called Miami. He did this on a television special some regarded as a monument to his ego and exaggerated sense of his own importance. So there you have it. LeBron James was a guy who played basketball. To anticipate your next question: basketball was a game invented by a man named James Naismith back in 1891. We used to enjoy watching and playing it. It was fun. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

Conservatives redefining role of government he co-chairs of President Obama’s Debt and Deficit Commission painted a gloomy picture of the economy last weekend when they appeared at the closing session of the National Governors Association meeting in Boston. Former Wyoming Republican Senator Alan SimpCAL son and Erskine THOMAS Bowles, former White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, called the current budgetary trends a cancer “that will destroy the country from within” unless checked by tough action in Washington. So the place that gave us the problem is now going to provide the solution? I have as much faith in Washington curing its overspending as I do a bartender helping an alcoholic swear off drinking. Cancer is the wrong diagnosis. With the exception of those who are heavy smokers, most cancer patients get the disease through no fault of their own. The proper diagnosis of what ails Washington and too many Americans is addiction. Congress is addicted to spending and they have “hooked” too many Americans on their bad habit. Conservatives fear the debt commission will be a cover for raising taxes after minimal spending cuts. Thankfully, several of the nation’s governors are demonstrating a much better approach to overspending and overtaxing. New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie wants to privatize state parks, psychiatric hospitals and turnpike tollbooths as part CHRISTIE of a major reconsideration of what government should and should not do. The recommendations are part of a 57page proposal on privatization

T

ordered by the governor and obtained by the Newark StarLedger. Under the proposal, pre-school classrooms would be shifted to private hands; state employees would start paying to park and private vendors would serve food, deliver health care and run education programs in state prisons. Estimated savings: $210 million. The rule should be that if you can find a product or service in the Yellow Pages, see if the private sector can do the job government has been doing at lower cost and higher efficiency. Doesn’t that make more sense than the state doing a job at greater cost with less efficiency? DANIELS In Indiana, Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels has provided a test case for government doing less while lowering costs. Daniels hasn’t raised taxes and has cut spending, maintained quality government services and created a budget surplus. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Indiana “is one of ten states that has seen its unemployment rate go down in the past year.” In addition to its budget surplus, Indiana has a triple-A bond rating. Even property and state payroll taxes have been reduced. And “for the first time since the 1970s, more people are moving to Indiana than leaving.” In Virginia, Gov. Bob McMcDONNELL Donnell has been busy. In office for only six months, the governor’s office announced that McDonnell has “defeated former governor Tim Kaine’s proposed $2 billion increase in the state income tax, kept existing car tax relief in place and brought Democrats and Republicans together to close the shortfall through spending

LETTERS Country headed who knows where For those who voted for the arrogant “community organizer” who currently occupies the White House and any of the morons who support his drunken idealogy, I feel truly sorry. This country is on a path to who-knows-where, and I don’t even know if a turnaround in this November’s election will be enough to help right the path. Republicans in the Bush era spent like drunken sailors, but the idiots in today’s Congress have eclipsed that figure many times. Consequently, the country’s debt is beyond comprehension. The immigration problem has become serious, ludicrous, almost laughable; and the “organizer” has no intention to solve it by securing our borders. I’m not even going to mention the recently passed health care bill or the appointment without any approval of a person to head Medicare/Medic-

Gov. Chris Christie wants to privatize state parks, psychiatric hospitals and turnpike tollbooths as part of a major reconsideration of what government should and should not do. reductions, and without a single tax increase.” According to government figures, Virginia’s state budget ended the 2010 fiscal year on June 30 with a surplus of about $220 million, which is an amazing turnaround in half a year. Republicans are on the cusp of a political transformation — in Congress and in state legislatures — that potentially could rival their 1994 victory. Former Clinton pollster Dick Morris flatly predicts Republicans will capture both houses of Congress. If they do, they should conduct town hall meetings in every state, asking what government programs people would be willing to give up and then hold hearings where heads of all federal agencies are asked to justify the continued existence of those programs. Diets can be painful and liposuction uncomfortable. Just as we must sometimes suffer to improve our physical health, so must we put big government on a diet and make sure it never again becomes obese. This should not be a partisan issue, but if Democrats make it one, then a new Republican majority should do what it failed to do the last time it controlled Congress: break our big government addiction and restore the liberty that we’ve lost. • • • Cal Thomas writes for Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, N.Y. 14207.

Instant treasure: Ship buried for two centuries unearthed at ground zero NEW YORK (AP) — The ship was buried as junk two centuries ago — landfill to expand a bustling little island of commerce called Manhattan. When it reemerged this week, surrounded by skyscrapers, it was an instant treasure that popped up from the mud near ground zero. A 32-foot piece of the

vessel was found in soil 20 feet under street level, amid noisy bulldozers excavating a parking garage for the future World Trade Center. The discovery was as unexpected as it was thrilling. Historians say the ship, believed to date to the 1700s, was defunct by the time it was used around 1810 to extend the shores of Manhattan.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq assumed control of the last U.S.-run prison camp in the country on Thursday, a milestone that casts a spotlight on the Iraqi government’s troubled record of caring for inmates amid allegations of torture and overcrowding at Iraqi-run facilities. The change in command at Camp Cropper — which was renamed Karkh Prison — marks the end of a troubling chapter in the U.S. presence in the country, which was marred in the early years by photographs showing American soldiers abusing inmates at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison. It also raised questions about how well prepared the Iraqis are to handle the detainees. Inmates in Iraqi detention facilities have repeatedly complained about torture and beatings by the police, as well as overcrowding and poor conditions behind bars. Prisoners in U.S.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican revised its in-house rules to deal with clerical sex abuse cases, targeting priests who molest the mentally disabled as well as children and doubling the statute of limitations for such crimes. Abuse victims said the rules are little more than administrative housekeeping since they made few substantive changes to current practice, and what is needed are bold new rules to punish bishops who shield pedophiles. Women’s ordination groups criticized the new rules because they included the attempted ordination of women as a “grave crime” subject to the same set of procedures and punishments meted out for sex abuse. The rules, which cover the canonical procedures and penalties for the most serious sacramental and moral crimes, were issued as the Vatican confronts one of the worst scandals in recent history: revelations of hundreds of new cases of priests who raped and sodomized children, bishops who covered up for them, and Vatican officials who stood by passively for decades.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Iranian scientist who defected to the U.S. returned home amid an escalating propaganda war between Tehran and Washington but without $5 million he had been paid for what a U.S. official said was “significant” information about his country’s nuclear programs. The CIA paid Shahram Amiri a total of $5 million to provide intelligence, but Amiri did not take the money with him, said a U.S. official who was briefed on the case. The funds were barred by U.S. Treasury sanctions that prohibit the flow of American dollars to Iran. “Anything he got is now beyond his reach, thanks to the financial sanctions on Iran,” said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “He’s gone, but the money’s still here.” The official said Amiri had provided the CIA with “significant, original information” that the agency was able to independently verify, although he would not detail the scope of the intelligence he provided. There was no indication Amiri might have been a double agent.

democratic country,” said Maria Rachid, president of the Argentine Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender federation. The law “not only recognizes the rights of our families, but also the possibility of having access to health care, to leave a pension, to leave our assets to the people with whom we have shared many years of life, including our children,” she said. The 33-27 Senate vote was tallied shortly before dawn, after a marathon debate that touched on religion, ethics, the legacy of Argentina’s dictatorship and the challenges of raising children. There were three abstentions. Since the lower house already approved it, the law takes effect within days. Gays and lesbians who have already found Buenos Aires to be a welcoming place to live will likely rush to the altar, but same-sex couples from other countries will need to live in Argentina before becoming eligible. The approval came despite a concerted campaign by the Roman Catholic Church and evangelical groups that worked against passage.

Argentina becomes first country in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina became the first Latin American nation to legalize gay marriage Thursday, granting same-sex couples all the legal rights, responsibilities and protections that marriage brings to heterosexuals. The law’s passage — a priority for President Cristina Fernandez’s government — has inspired activists to push for similar laws in other countries, and a wave of gay weddings are expected in Buenos Aires. Some gay business leaders are predicting an economic ripple effect from an increase in tourism among gays and lesbians who will see Argentina as an even more attractive destination. But it also carries political risks for Fernandez and her husband, former President Nestor Kirchner. The vote divided their governing coalition, and while gay rights have strong support in the capital, anti-gay feelings still run strong in much of Argentine society, where the vast majority of people are Roman Catholic. “From today onward, Argentina is a more just and

Department approved some of the harsh steps the agency took to get terrorist suspects to talk. Former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee’s remarks were contained in a transcript sent to the special prosecutor investigating CIA interrogations by House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich. Interviewed by Judiciary Committee members on May 26, Bybee stressed the limits that he helped set on how far the CIA could go while at the same time acknowledging that his legal advice helped pave the way for tactics such as waterboarding, which evokes the sensation of drowning. “I do wish to repeat that we said on page 2 of the techniques memo ... that repetition will not be substantial” on waterboarding, Bybee reminded the committee in quoting from one of his own legal memoranda. The professed mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was waterboarded 183 times. Terrorist suspect Abu Zubaydah was subjected to the procedure at least 83 times.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP finally choked off the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday — 85 days and up to 184 million gallons after the crisis unfolded — then began a tense 48 hours of watching to see whether the cappedoff well would hold or blow a new leak. To the relief of millions of people along the Gulf Coast, the big, billowing brown cloud of crude at the bottom of the sea disappeared from the underwater video feed for the first time since the disaster began in April, as BP closed the last of three openings in the 75-ton cap lowered onto the well earlier this week. “Finally!” said Renee Brown, a school guidance counselor visiting Pensacola Beach, Fla., from London, Ky. “Honestly, I’m surprised that they haven’t been able to do something sooner, though.” But the company stopped far short of declaring victory over the biggest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. Now begins a waiting period during which engineers will monitor pressure gauges and watch for signs of leaks elsewhere in the well. The biggest risk: Pressure from the oil trapped under the cap could fracture the well and make the leak even worse, causing oil to spill from other spots on the sea floor. If engineers see any sign of a new leak erupting, the cap will be reopened, allowing oil to spill into the sea again.

chel’s monthly Bible study, said Raychel’s personality, as well as her 28 years as a school teacher, made it special. “She just did everything, did the food every month, did the Bible lesson every month. She was just so down to earth,” Whidden said. “She brought the lesson home on your level, where you could understand it, and she hit a home run every time she taught.” Danny was dedicated to the church, where he volunteered with the media ministry and worked closely with its director, Mark Feltman. “He was the most faithful volunteer I had,” Feltman said. “Danny was one of the most caring, hardworking persons. He loved God. He loved this ministry.” Danny got to church early many Sundays, often meeting the pastor as he arrived before services. “We would unlock the door together,” Ross said. Ross called Danny “an amazing man of God” and Raychel “a ray of light.” “They were gregarious, fun-loving, good, wonderful people,” Ross said. “They are the kind of people every pastor wants a church full of. They will be missed greatly.” The Rev. Tom Whidden is retired founding pastor of Concord First Assembly and has known the Carrolls since they joined the church nearly 30 years ago. He said both were involved in leadership positions at First Assembly and “faithfully served through the years.” “Danny was a strong, quiet leader in the community, spending his life serving and comforting others. He loved his wife, his children, his grandchildren and God,” he said. “Danny and Raychel were an outstanding couple who tirelessly gave of themselves and will be greatly missed. Raychel had the unique gift of friendship, making everyone feel they were her special friend. Danny and Raychel were a true example of love and friendship.” Danny and Raychel, who had been married 30 years, met when both lived in an apartment complex in Kannapolis, said family friend Sarah Marsh. Raychel saw Danny walking by her window and decided to be sitting on the curb outside when he walked by one day. The two started talking and, after that, “he just came by and talked to her all the time,’ said Marsh, who was also a student of Raychel’s at Cannon Junior High School. Before long, they fell in love. They married and had two daughters, Kimberly and Sara, and five grandchildren. Marsh said the Carrolls “had a wonderful marriage” and were both wonderful people. “Raychel had so many best friends. They were so numerous, I can’t even count them,” she said. “Everyone was her best friend. She just made people feel that important, that special.” And Danny, she said, “had such a giving spirit.” If the funeral home worked with people who couldn’t afford to bury their loved ones, he and co-owner Mike Reavis didn’t charge them.

PEOPLE

things quietly, Raychel could be more boisterous. The last time Marsh saw her was Sunday, when Raychel walked up and sat down in her lap at church. “She was that kind of woman,” Marsh said. “She just came and plopped down on my lap.” “... I think it was very fitting for them to go together. They were exactly opposites, but they complemented each other so well.” Danny Carroll went to work at Lady’s Funeral Home delivering flowers, friend Charlie Brown said. He became a co-owner of Lady’s in 1980 when former owner Clifford Brown died and left the business to Carroll and three other employees. In a 1986 Salisbury Post article, Danny said his parents, a doctor and a nurse, hadn’t wanted him to go into the business, and Clifford Brown initially tried to talk him out of it. “But I always had a desire to help people, and I’m helping people,” Danny said in that article. “And in a nutshell, that’s the answer for all of us.” Charlie Brown owns China Grove Hardware and used to own West Lawn Memorial Park in Landis. He’s known Danny since he was a teenager and has had a personal and professional relationship with him over the years. “Danny was a kind person, a very mild-mannered person ... but he was very honest. He would always tell you the straight-up facts,” Brown said. “Danny was the kind of person who wanted to help people. He helped people in the church and in the community.” Danny became recognized in his profession. He was a past district director, secretary-treasurer, vice president and president of the N.C. Funeral Directors Association and was serving as its representative to the policy board of the National Funeral Directors Association. Charles Graves, current president of the state association, said Danny was “such a good person. He was one of these that would take the funeral profession and do anything he could to make it better both for the families he served and for the industry.” Graves said Danny “loved his grandchildren. He talked about those grandchildren.” And Danny loved to fly. He’d had a pilot’s license since 1991 and often flew on trips for business or pleasure. Graves said Danny had flown to Maryland last weekend for a meeting of the National Funeral Directors Association. Danny was a member of a club whose members could borrow planes, his neighbor said. Every Sunday, he would talk about the places he’d flown, said Feltman, the media ministry director at First Assembly. This Sunday, he would have talked about the trip to North Myrtle Beach, a flight the Carrolls had made many times. This time, they took a plane they hadn’t flown in the past as a family. Raychel had asked her Bible study group for prayer Monday because Danny was trying out the plane. They flew to the coast Wednesday and spent the day with their older daughter and her family. “So thank goodness they did have a good day with them,” friend Barbara Whidden said.

McIlroy out front after wild Round 1 BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

John daly shot a first-round 66 on thursday.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — In the 137 years since the British Open first came to St. Andrews, the Old Course rarely has been such a pushover. Rarer still was the score Rory McIlroy delivered. Whether it was the luck of the draw or his tantalizing talent really didn’t matter. In conditions so calm that not

a hair on his considerable mop was out of place, McIlroy set off on a run into the record book Thursday with a 9-under 63 that gave MCILROY him a two-shot lead. “Going out there this morning with no wind, you’re never going to get St. Andrews playing

any easier,” McIlroy said. It was just as easy for John Daly, a former champion at St. Andrews and now the ultimate long shot. He first energized the gallery by bashing tee shots and making enough birdies for a 66, matching his best score in the British Open. And it was just as easy for Tiger Woods, who ran off three straight birdies late in his round for a 67. “The old lady had no clothes

on today,” Tom Watson said after a 73. There were 45 rounds in the 60s, 73 players broke par and the average score was under par — 71.75. No one took advantage like McIlroy, a 21-year-old from Northern Ireland who shot a final-round 62 at the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte.

Teachers have told Drew Absher he was smart and basketball coaches have told him he can shoot, but he got the best compliment he’s ever received after weeks of playing pickup games with his new teammates at Virginia Military Institute. “They didn’t realize I was a walk-on,” Absher said. “They thought I was on scholarship.” Absher woke up on day in middle school and informed his father, Mike, Davie County’s varABSHER sity boys coach, that he was going to be a college basketball player. A few years later, he informed his father he was going to be a Division I player. Fathers don’t squash their son’s dreams. Mike told him he could do it. Unfortunately, Drew didn’t grow. He’ll be listed at 5-foot-10, but he’s 5-9 with his shoes off. Still, he was the No. 3 all-time scorer at Davie with 1,452 points while playing in a good 4A league, and he made more 3s than any War Eagle ever had. Absher got a break last July when he was picked as a late substitute for the East-West All-Star Game. He drilled three 3s and didn’t look out of place with the state’s best. The wife of VMI assistant co a c h J a s o n Allison is a West Rowan graduate. Allison happened to read about ALLISON Absher’s East-West outing and called his local basketball connection — West Rowan coach Mike Gurley. Allison asked if Absher could play. Gurley recommended him. VMI put Absher on its list and kept tabs on his progress at The Gunnery, a Connecticut prep school where he averaged 15.5 points and 5.5 assists per game. VMI head coach Duggar Baucom couldn’t risk a scholarship on a 5-9 guy, but he let Absher know during his prep school season that he was impressed. “Coach told me, ‘Look, we know your goal is a D-I scholarship,’ ” Absher recalled. “Keep working. If it doesn’t work out, you’ve got a place on our team if you want it.” Absher drew some interest from Bucknell, Cornell and Dartmouth but followed his heart to VMI. Two reasons. VMI was relatively close, and as a kid he’d watched VMI assistant coaches Daniel Willis (Hickory) and Allison (East Lincoln) play against his father’s South Caldwell teams. Recently, Absher joined VMI’s three scholarship recruits and three returning players for a summer school session. His day consists of weight training and conditioning, two hours of classes and three to four hours of basketball every evening. “My triceps are sore for the first time,” Absher said. “Obviously, I had a key to the gym in high school and I thought I practiced more jumpshots than anyone ever had. But I’m shooting more now than I ever did in high school.”

Parnell back in mix with Mets BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

New York Mets relief pitcher Bobby Parnell returned home to Salisbury during a three-day break in the MLB schedule. His father’s birthday is today, and the family celebrated Tuesday. Parnell said he didn’t even watch that night’s All-Star game. “Just hung out, laid low and watched the thunderstorms back

home,” Parnell said in a telephone interview. The big-league grind picked back up late Thursday, when New York opened the unofficial second half of the season with a PARNELL game in San Francisco. Parnell, a 25-year-old East Rowan High School graduate,

pitched nearly three months in the minors before rejoining the Mets in late June. He entered the All-Star break with a 1.64 ERA in 12 appearances. “There might be a little more confidence there coming in from last year and knowing I can perform at this level,” Parnell said. “Probably a little added fire from being sent down after spring training, spending the time down there working, feeling like I belong here.

“Things have been going good, and my stuff’s working right now.” Parnell, a September call-up in 2008, spent all of last season with the Mets. He won four games and earned one save in 68 appearances, including eight starts. New York sent him to Triple-A Buffalo after he posted a 4.61 ERA during the spring and recalled him June 20.

rowan pitcher parker Gobbel throws out Mocksville’s Jess cartner.

Rowan County pitcher Parker Gobbel was the starter and loser at Asheboro’s McCrary Park on July 28, 2008 — a date worth remembering because Gobbel hasn’t lost since. Gobbel was 1-0 as a high school junior at East Rowan and turned in 4-0 mark during Rowan County’s run to the American Legion World Series last summer. As a senior, he was 10-0 as East won the 3A state championship, and he’s become the ace of Rowan County’s current staff with a 5-0 record and a 1.96 ERA. Add it up, and the unassuming Gobbel, who still gets his name pronounced “Goble” on the road

sometimes, has won 20 in a row. “I never thought I’d do so well, to tell you the truth,” Gobbel said. “I never even thought about winning that many games in a row until people started reading about it and talking about it.” Gobbel will have a chance to continue his career at Catawba Valley Community College. He’s joining a large contingent of local players that includes Mooresville outfielder Billy Nantz, South Rowan pitcher Dylan Walker and 2009 West Rowan grads Randy Shepherd and Brett Huffman (10 homers as a Catawba freshman). “They’re getting all kinds of players up there at CVCC,” Gobbel said.

NCAA investigating UNC football BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

RALEIGH — North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour said Thursday the NCAA is investigating a sports program at the school regarding possible rules violations. Baddour declined to say which sport, but a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press the NCAA is looking at Butch Davis’ football program. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation is confidential. “I was told that I could limit my comments to the fact that they had been here and they wanted me to say that we had indeed been cooperative,” said Bad-

dour, adding that the inquiry “has our full attention.” The investigation began with a phone call from the NCAA, Baddour said, though he didn’t say when the call came or when investigators had visited the Chapel Hill campus. “We work hard on our compliance program, a program of integrity,” Baddour said. “We’re proud of it. “We are also proud that, or we think very strongly that, we get an inquiry from the NCAA that we would comply, we would do what they asked us to do and we would do it forthright and completely.” Davis is preparing for his fourth season in Chapel Hill and has guided the program to consecutive eight-win seasons, which

includes the program’s first backto-back bowl seasons since the late 1990s when Mack Brown left for Texas. Davis has a 20-18 record with the Tar Heels, including 11-13 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. He inherited the program from John Bunting and the Tar Heels had went to just two bowl games in six seasons, during which they were a woeful 27-45. The Tar Heels are expected to contend for the ACC’s Coastal Division title with a defense that returns nine starters from a unit that ranked among the nation's best last year. North Carolina opens the season against LSU in Atlanta on Sept. 4. 

MSL plans to keep Donovan HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — Major League Soccer plans to keep Landon Donovan. MLS commissioner Don Garber said the league has no intention of accepting transfer offers for the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder. “He’s become a real soccer hero,” Garber said Thursday after the news conference to announce French star Thierry Henry’s signing with the New York Red Bulls. “MLS needs soccer heroes, and we have a great American soccer hero playing for us in LA, holding the torch for the sport in our country, and that’s very important. I don’t believe that it’s something we can do without.” Donovan was the best U.S. player at the World Cup, scoring three goals to become the American career leader with five. He agreed in December to a four-

year contract with MLS that pays him a base salary this year of $2.05 million. While Donovan struggled during previous stints with Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, he played strongly and attracted renewed attention in Europe when MLS loaned him to Everton for 10 weeks in January. Donovan scored two goals in 13 matches, helping the Toffees beat Chelsea and Manchester United, and draw against Arsenal. Everton captain Phil Neville told Everton TV last week during the club’s preseason tour of Australia that “I’ve spoken to Landon and I know for a fact that he wants to come back here.” When he returned to the Galaxy from the World Cup on July 2, Donovan left an opening. “Right now, I want to be in America,” he said. “If there’s something serious to look at, then

I will. I never say never to anything. But for now, I’m very excited to be home.” Garber said additional offseason loans are possible but isn’t interested in a permanent transfer. “Landon is in my view the greatest player of our generation and an incredibly valuable part of our history but also of our future,” Garber said. “He proved in England last year on loan and he proved in South Africa that he’s a world-class player and he’s also proved that he loves our league and really has accepted the mantle of really being one of the leaders of the sport. It is my hope and my expectation that we have him for the rest of his career because I think the contributions that he makes are invaluable to our future success.” Donovan’s agent, Richard Motzkin, declined to respond to Garber’s remarks.

Texas Rangers rolling despite woes ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers are in bankruptcy and up for auction. They went into the All-Star break after being swept at home by the worst team in the majors. No longer is it a certainty that Nolan Ryan, the Hall of Fame pitcher and team president, will become a co-owner. And yet the Rangers are having arguably their best season ever. On the field. Even with the off-field drama and that ugly four-game series last weekend against Baltimore, the Rangers (50-38) are 4½ games ahead of the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West. That is the largest lead in any of baseball’s six divisions coming out of the break. “I’ve been through every possible twist and turn,” said Michael Young, the longesttenured Ranger in his 10th season. “A lot of unknowns and a couple of rebuilding processes, and now here we are. It’s just time to go on the field, be loose and have some fun.” Texas opens a four-game series at Boston on Thursday, then goes to Cleveland before coming home to play the Angels. The 50-year-old franchise, which moved from Washington to Texas in 1972, has never won a playoff series. The Rangers have had only two winning seasons since their last playoff appearance in 1999. That dreadful history and the

ongoing bankruptcy case related to the stalled sale of the team, which now includes a scheduled Aug. 4 auction, don't seem to affecting their play on the field. “What I sense is a confidence,”manager Ron Washington said. Ryan before the season said he expected the Rangers to win at least 92 games. Texas is on pace to win at least 98, and now has coveted All-Star left-hander Cliff Lee in the starting rotation. “Now it’s on us. It’s on us,” Washington said, repeating with emphasis. “I don’t think we can cry for anything else. ... There were expectations on us. Now there’s really expectations on us.” Despite financial uncertainty, general manager Jon Daniels last week pulled off a six-player deal to add Lee from Seattle. The pitcher who twice beat the Yankees in last year’s World Series while with Philadelphia, appeared headed to New York. Instead, Texas got him three weeks before the non-waiver trading deadline. The Rangers had already gotten from San Francisco veteran catcher Bengie Molina, whose three playoff trips includes a World Series title with the Angels in 2002. “We might have a little more confidence in ourselves,” AllStar second baseman Ian Kinsler said. “We have guys that have been to the playoffs, have been to

the big stage that are big parts of the team and that helps. But we understand we have a long way to go.” Lee made his Texas debut in a complete-game 6-1 loss to the Orioles on Saturday night, when he threw 73 of 95 pitches for strikes. His next start is Saturday at Boston, which puts him in line to start the series opener against the rival Angels. The newly acquired pitcher was one of six players wearing Rangers uniforms during Tuesday night's All-Star game. Sluggers Josh Hamilton (.346, 22 home runs, 64 RBIs) and Vladimir Guerrero (.319, 20, 75) both were AL starters while Kinsler and shortstop Elvis Andrus also played. Rookie reliever Neftali Feliz (23 saves) didn't get in the game. When the Rangers return home next week, it will be the start of a 16-game stretch against AL West teams with seven against the Angels, who have won five of the last six division titles. That is followed by visits from the Yankees and Red Sox. Texas has improved its record each season under fourth-year manager Washington, who is 291283 overall. But Washington doesn’t have a contract past this season. There was no extension last year despite 87 wins and a second-place finish in the AL West.

Western Forsyth’s Q. Fulton tags out Rowan’s Andy Austin, who arrives at second base at the same time as teammate Hayden Untz. Rowan swept that best-of-five series.

GOBBEL FROM 1B

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

Rowan’s Will Sapp reacts after taking a pitch against Western Forsyth.

ABSHER FROM 1B He’s getting shots off against quicker, taller defenders, and his teammates had no clue he was a walk-on until everyone — except Absher — went to pick up the “living expenses” checks that are part of their scholarships.

“The guys have been great,” Absher said. “I’m just another teammate. No one treats me like I’m the walk-on guy.” One of Absher’s teammates is Knightdale’s Stan Okoye, who played against Absher in the East-West AllStar Game. “I remember him wearing his VMI stuff around that week in Greensboro,” Absher said. “I never dreamed we’d be on the same team.”

Gobbel’s huge 2010 prep season at East snuck up on everyone. “I figured I’d be throwing mostly relief, and that would’ve been OK,” Gobbel said. “But then I started pitching a lot.” A forearm injury to Thomas Allen elevated Gobbel to a pivotal role for the Mustangs, and they rode him down the stretch. He stopped Northwest Cabarrus for five innings in the fourth round of the playoffs and held Wilson Hunt in check for five innings to win the critical first game of the 3A state championship series. “That Hunt game really showed me something because Gobbel didn’t have his good stuff,” East coach Brian Hightower said. “He held them to two hits in five innings and he did it on a day when he didn’t have his slider, which is his best pitch. He got through a tough lineup with changeups and fastballs.” Gobbel gives former Rowan Legion player Billy Veal some credit for his emergence as an elite pitcher. “Billy taught me how to throw the slider and it’s really worked for me most of the time,” Gobbel said. “Usually, I can control three pitches real well. And there are some days when I’ve got a curveball too, and batters don’t know what to expectt.” Gobbel spent his practices at East working on drills with pitching coach Brian Hatley, and he improved steadily as the season went on. Since graduation, Gobbel’s had more time to devote to his interests outside baseball — fishing, lawn care and the Granite Quarry Fire Department. Gobbel has an interesting theory that the numerous casts he makes as a fisherman keep his right arm loose for throwing baseballs. “I come to the ballpark after a day of fishing and I feel ready to go,” he said. Lawn care provides a pretty decent income. He handles eight yards and he’s mowed grass nearly as efficiently this summer as he’s mowed

Absher is a civilian until classes at VMI officially start Aug. 21. That’s when it gets strict and military. No more cellphones and no more shirts with logos or colors (everyone wears white or black). There will be lots of pushups, drills and chores and lots of getting up at 5:30 a.m. “Right now, we’ve got the high life,” Absher said with a laugh.

JON C. LAKEY/SALISBURY POST

PARKER GOBBEL down hitters. Gobbel hopes to make firefighting his career, and he plans to enroll in the Fire Protection and Safety Technology program offered by CVCC. “Gobbel’s got a lot of stuff going on, but he always finds the time to get in his baseball work,” Hightower said. Gobbel’s body of work for the Legion team this summer has included stellar starts in the playoffs against Mocksville and Western Forsyth, and he made two vital relief appearances as Rowan rallied to win its second-round series against Mooresville. n Rowan (29-10) opens the Area III championship series tonight against Kernersville (19-12) at Newman Park. Game 2 will be East Forsyth High on Saturday. Gobbel is likely to be on the mound for Rowan in Game 1, with Zack Simpson (3-3) the probable starter in Game 2. Rowan and Kernersville haven’t clashed in a playoff series since the 1990s when they were almost annual opponents. Kernersville beat Rowan in

“We’re staying in a house with air conditioning and DirecTV and with Wal-Mart five minutes away.” During Absher’s prep school year, he was 12 hours from home with no car and no TV, so he had to mature a lot. He’s confident that year will help him succeed at VMI academically and on the court. Absher’s future goal is becoming a college coach, and being on the

the Area III championship series in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997, although Rowan gained entry to the Southeast Regional in 1996 as the host and won the event. Rowan also beat Kernersville in the 1993 Area III championship series and went on to win the state title. Fans should’t read anything at all into Kernersville’s tie for fifth place in the Northern Division or its No. 6 seed. Kernersville didn’t have its team together until it got its contingent of players from East Forsyth, the state runnerup in 4A. It is 8-1 in the playoffs including sweeps of No. 3 Randolph County and No. 2 Burlington that preceded a 31 series win against Southern Division regular-season champ South Rowan. Kernersville is wellstocked with players from three 4A high schools. After losing the first game of its series with South, it blasted eight homers in winning the last three. UNC Greensboro signee Pete Schultz heads the pitching staff, while Alex Swim, a catcher who was a standout for Elon, leads the offense.

team at VMI should be a huge boost to his career. “I know the toughest part is going to be between August and the time basketball practice starts in October, but this is a dream,” he said. “We’re going to be playing at West Virginia. Can you imagine what that’s going to be like?” Most can only imagine. Absher, all 5-foot-9 of him, is going to experience it.

PARNELL FROM 1B He didn’t allow a run in 10 of those 12 relief outings prior to the break for the Mets, who arrived in San Francisco trailing first-place Atlanta by four games in the NL East race. New York closed the first half with a 3-0 home victory against the Braves on Sunday, when Johan Santana pitched seven innings and left with a 2-0 edge. Parnell started a perfect eighth with a strikeout of Chipper Jones, and closer Francisco Rodriguez worked the ninth. “Pitching well, getting back under the spotlight, getting back in New York, that whole experience has definitely been a highlight,” Parnell said. “It’s going to be a fun second half. We’ve got a great team here, and everybody’s finally healthy this year. We’re winning some ballgames. We’re going to stay on the Braves’ heels and see if we can get into the playoffs.” Center fielder Carlos Beltran made his 2010 debut Thursday for the Mets, who were riddled with injuries during a 72-win season a year ago. Parnell — who uses a slider and changeup to complement a high-90s fastball — had a 5.23 ERA in his first

month with Buffalo this year before improving in each of the next two months. He didn’t allow an earned run in seven of his final nine outings with the Bisons. The post-spring demotion was a setback that initially caused Parnell to alter his approach. “I pitched like I was trying to change something when I didn’t need to change,” Parnell said. “I just needed to get my confidence back, go out there and let my stuff do the work. It was probably a month into the season where I realized if I get called up it’s going to be because of what I do, not because of who I am. I had to go out there and start pitching like I knew how.” Parnell pitched once in North Carolina when Buffalo visited International League foe Durham for a four-game series from June 8-11. He said he enjoyed playing in front of his maternal grandmother for the first time in several years. The Mets recalled Parnell one day before Buffalo was scheduled to meet the Gwinnett Braves in Georgia, and the next stop was Fort Mill, S.C, for a series with the nearby Charlotte Knights. “I was looking forward to going to Charlotte and playing even closer to home,” Parnell said. “I understood it was one way or another, and it worked out for the better.”

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates hid the signings of their manager and general manager to new contracts. They misled their fans about the recall of top prospect Pedro Alvarez. They were ridiculed nationally for firing one of their racing mascots. Celebrating the golden moment in franchise history, they couldn’t even get the final scores of the 1960 World Series correct. All this represented a single week in yet another miserable first half for the Pirates, one that greatly resembled those in the record 17 consecutive losing seasons that preceded it. As the Pirates (30-58) jockeyed with bad-all-season Baltimore (29-59) to own the worst record in the majors at the AllStar break, they crammed a full season’s worth of ineptness into only 31⁄2 months. “It’s awful,” reliever Joel Hanrahan said. “This definitely isn’t what we expected coming out of spring training. We need to turn it around in the second half and start playing together.” Manager John Russell and general manager Neal Huntington were given extensions following a 99-loss season last fall, but the team didn’t reveal the news until last month because it feared negative fan reaction. Their starting rotation was a mess. They haven’t hit a home run with a runner on base since June 8. Their second baseman didn’t hit his weight. First baseman Jeff Clement didn’t hit, period, and was sent back to the minors. And starting outfielder Lastings Milledge went three months before hitting a homer on a team that recently had a 12-game losing streak and is currently in a six-game slide. They tried rebuilding on the fly, calling up top prospects Alvarez, Jose Tabata, Neil Walker and Brad Lincoln and starting them immediately. Walker and Tabata settled in quickly; Alvarez and Lincoln struggled. Not that it made a difference; their 10-32 record after they began recalling prospects was far worse than it was (20-26) before the kids started arriving. “Any time you get the young guys up here, you want to win with them,” Hanrahan said. “You don’t want them to fall into bad habits.” Alvarez, the franchise’s top power prospect since Barry Bonds, probably didn’t know if he was coming or going. A few hours after Huntington told reporters he wasn’t close to being ready for the majors, he was brought up. He’s hitting .214 with 35 strikeouts in 84 at-bats. The gaffes weren’t all on the playing field, either. One of their in-game pierogi racers, Andrew Kurtz, was fired for criticizing the

front office on his Facebook page. He was brought back to the parttime job when it was determined he wasn’t properly terminated. If only the Pirates had the same safeguards in place when they let Jose Bautista and Matt Capps go. Bautista, cast off for longgone backup catcher Robinzon Diaz, leads the majors with 24 homers for Toronto. Capps wasn’t tendered a contract last winter because the Pirates didn’t think he was worth a $500,000 raise; he has 23 saves with Washington and won the All-Star game Tuesday night. Then there were the Aki Iwamura and Charlie Morton messes. Iwamura was acquired from Tampa Bay despite a $4.85 million salary and a major knee injury. He was so limited defensively he could barely field his position, and he was hitting .182 before he was benched and replaced by Walker, a former firstround draft pick who had been repeatedly passed over for callups. Want to see the Pirates’ highest-paid player? That requires a trip to Indianapolis, where Iwamura is playing in Triple-A. Morton (1-9, 9.35 ERA) stayed in the rotation far after he proved he wasn’t ready, apparently because management didn’t want to acknowledge its mistake for acquiring him. The first-half highlight proved to be the back-to-back wins against the Dodgers to begin the season; the lowlight was a 20-0 loss at home to Milwaukee that finished off a three-game sweep in which the Brewers outscored them 36-1. “The level of disappointment is so high I can’t accurately give you a word for it,” team president Frank Coonelly said. The bullpen was a strength, led by All-Star reliever Evan Meek and closer Octavio Dotel. However, much of the bullpen’s good work came in games that were already decided because of the bad rotation. Morton, Zach Duke (3-8, 5.49 ERA) and Ross Ohlendorf (1-7, 4.22) all disappointed as the Pirates lost 15 games by margins of seven runs or more. “We haven’t been playing up to our capability,” infielder Bobby Crosby said. “Even though we have some young players, we’re still not playing the way we possibly can. Step it up a little bit, to say the least.” Even their most popular promotion of the season was executed poorly. A commemorative drinking mug honoring their ’60 championship contained incorrect game results that indicated the Yankees, not the Pirates, won the World Series. If nothing else, their failed first half suggested there’s no World Series soon for the Pirates to repeat that mistake.

ATLANTA — Jason Heyward’s impact in his return from a thumb injury was lost in the boxscore. Heyward was hitless in four at-bats in his first game with Atlanta since June 26, but the rookie’s lead role on the field was unmistakable. Two standout plays by Heyward in right field helped Jair Jurrjens give up only one run, and the Braves beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 on Thursday night. “Defense wins games, and defense allows good things to happen,” Heyward said. Martin Prado and Chipper Jones hit home runs in the third inning off Dave Bush (4-7). Corey Hart’s 22nd homer gave Milwaukee a 1-0 lead in the first inning. It was the only run allowed by Jurrjens, who gave up five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 6-plus innings. Jurrjens (2-3) earned his second win in three starts since returning from a hamstring injury. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect ninth for his 21st save. Heyward was voted to start in Tuesday’s All-Star game but could only watch as he remained disabled with a left thumb injury. He came off the 15-day disabled list against the Brewers and delivered two great defensive plays. Milwaukee’s Casey

McGehee was the victim on each play. McGehee led off the second with a single. Jim Edmonds followed with a single to right, and Heyward threw out McGehee at third base. Heyward’s strong throw to Jones beat McGehee by such a wide margin that McGehee made no apparent attempt to touch the bag on his wide slide. In the fourth, Heyward smashed into the right-field wall after making a running catch to rob McGehee of a hit. The impact near the foul line knocked Heyward to his back on the warning track, where he remained as Braves manager Bobby Cox and assistant trainer Jim Lovell hurried out of the dugout. Heyward said he was ready when Cox and Lovell, joined by umpire Joe West, made it to the outfield corner. “I just started telling them my name; I knew where they were going (to ask questions),” he said. Fans applauded as Heyward remained in the game. He said he remained on his back for a minute because he didn’t think it would be smart to stand up too quickly. Braves manager Bobby Cox said the two plays “may have won us the ball game.” Jurrjens had no doubt. “He won the game,” Jurrjens said of Heyward. “He made a really awesome throw.”

BOSTON — Josh Hamilton had three doubles to take over the major league batting lead and help the Texas Rangers get off to a quick start in the second half by beating the Boston Red Sox 7-2 on Thursday night. Hamilton improved his average to .351 before leaving in the seventh inning with soreness in his right knee. Nelson Cruz and Vladimir Guerrero also had three hits, and Bengie Molina homered in the six-run first inning to help the Rangers halt a four-game losing streak. Tommy Hunter (6-0) held Boston to five hits before leaving with a 7-2 lead with two outs in the seventh. J.D. Drew and Bill Hall homered for Boston, which has lost six of its last eight games. Tim Wakefield (3-8) had his shortest outing since September, 2008, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and striking out two before leaving three batters into the third inning. The Red Sox had only five regular starters in the lineup because of injuries to Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Beltre, Victor Martinez and Jacoby Ellsbury. Felix Doubront has been called up from the minors to pitch today because of injuries to Clay Buchholz and Josh Beckett. White Sox 8, Twins 7 MINNEAPOLIS — Gordon Beckham had a home run and two RBIs and John Danks recovered from his worst inning of the season to help the White Sox win their ninth game in a row. Danks (9-7) gave up six runs on six hits in the second inning, but only allowed three hits in his other five scoreless innings. Bobby Jenks struck out Orlando Hudson with the bases loaded

in the eighth inning, then gave up an RBI-single to Delmon Young in the ninth before getting Jim Thome looking to end the game. NATIONAL LEAGUE Cardinals 7, Dodgers 1 ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter allowed four hits in eight innings to improve to 6-0 against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the St. Louis Cardinals chased an off-kilter Clayton Kershaw in the fifth. Rookie Allen Craig had two RBIs without a hit off Kershaw (9-5), who dug his own hole with consecutive walks on 11 pitches to start the Cardinals’ two-run first, meriting a quick visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. Kershaw also got tagged with a liner off his right leg for an infield hit by Aaron Miles in the second and allowed four earned runs in 4-plus innings with one strikeout. Kershaw fanned 12 in his last pre-All-Star break outing a week ago in a victory over the Cubs, but faltered mostly due to a lack of control against a lineup that featured eight right-handed bats. Andre Ethier homered and singled for the Dodgers, who committed errors on consecutive plays in St. Louis’ two-run fourth. Carpenter struck out six with no walks. He’s 6-0 with a 1.77 ERA against the Dodgers, including seven scoreless innings June 8 at Los Angeles without a decision, and 19-4 against the NL West. Two of Albert Pujols’ three hits came off Kershaw, who allowed one run in 15 innings in two previous starts in St. Louis. Counting a first-round playoff sweep last October, St. Louis had lost six in a row to the Dodgers. Cubs 12, Phillies 6 CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez hit a pair of two-run doubles, and Derrek Lee and Geovany Soto each had two-run homers.

Hurricanes to retire Brind’Amour’s No. 17 jersey Associated Press

RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes will retire Rod Brind’Amour’s No. 17 in February. He will be honored on Feb. 18 before Carolina plays the Philadelphia Flyers — one of Brind’Amour’s former teams. General manager Jim Rutherford says “there is no image of our franchise more memorable” than that of Brind’Amour hoisting the Cup after the Game 7 victory over Edmonton in 2006. The 39-year-old Brind’Amour retired last month after 21 seasons in the NHL with St. Louis, Philadelphia and Carolina. He will join Ron Francis (No. 10) and Glen Wesley (No. 2) as the only Hurricanes players with their numbers in the RBC Center rafters.  MINNEAPOLIS — Captain Mikko Koivu signed a seven-year, $47.25 million contract extension with the Wild, keeping the versatile center with the team through the 2017-18 season.

ESPN CHICAGO — ESPN reporter Erin Andrews, who was secretly videotaped nude while staying at hotels, filed a lawsuit Thursday against seven hotels and the suburban Chicago man who admitted making the tapes. Andrews filed the suit in Cook County against the hotels for negligence and invasion of privacy, about seven months after Michael David Barrett, of Westmont, Ill., pleaded guilty in federal court in Los Angeles to interstate stalking.Andrews’ lawsuit alleges the hotels confirmed where Barrett was staying and gave out her room number without her permission.

Andrews, who was recently a contestant on the ABC show “Dancing with the Stars,” is asking for more than $1.2 million from the hotels and Barrett for “severe and permanent emotional distress,” according to the complaint.

BOURG-LES-VALENCE, France — Sprint specialist Mark Cavendish won the 11th stage of the Tour de France with help from an illegal head-butt from teammate Mark Renshaw, who was thrown out of the race for his aggressive tactics. Andy Schleck of Luxembourg retained the overall race lead. The drama of the stage came on the final sprint, when Renshaw — the lead-out man for Cavendish on the HTC Columbia team — headbutted Julian Dean of GarminTransitions three times in an apparent bid to push him out of the way. Dean is the leadout man for American sprinter Tyler Farrar, who then appeared to be cut off by Renshaw in the closing meters.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — The tabloids over here banged the drum steadily for the better part of a week, hoping to guarantee Tiger Woods a much rowdier reception on this side of the Atlantic than he’s received so far back home. Didn’t work. The best stunt anyone managed all day was pulled off by three young women behind the gallery ropes at No. 3 who shed their coats in a light rain to reveal sleeveless Tiger-print blouses just as their prey stepped onto the tee. You might think their inspiration was yet another headline in one of the papers Thursday morning: “Troubled Tiger Needs Support of the Crowd, Now More Than Ever.” But no. Turns out the blouses, as well as the tickets, were provided by an Irish bookie seeking some publicity on the cheap. Two other tabloids, meanwhile, fretted about Woods’ “mental frailty” and his decision to change putters. Just like the women, Woods ignored the papers, too. He made his way around St. Andrews in near-perfect conditions — steady drizzle, the gentlest of breezes — and shot 67. That left him four strokes behind leader Rory McIlroy, and pleased with the state of his game, his new putter and especially his reception. “They’ve always been respectful and enthusiastic here,” Woods said, referring to the galleries. “There’s no reason it would be any different. They were great out there today.” Woods was very good, making five birdies to offset a lone bogey, but by his exacting standards, not great. He also had trouble again closing, missing a 4-footer for par at the 17th and a 10footer for birdie at the 18th, both after brilliant lag putts over humps and hollows from off the green. “It’s getting better every week,” Woods said. “Every week I’m playing, the things I’ve been working on have been starting to come together. I’m hitting shots that I haven’t hit in a long time. It’s building.”

Flashy debut for Daly BY NANCY ARMOUR Associated Press

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — John Daly’s scorecard was the only thing getting more attention than his pants. Golf’s most entertaining sideshow was at it again Thursday, tying his best round at the British Open with a 6-under 66 on the Old Course. It temporarily put him atop the leaderboard, a spot that would have been unimaginable during the latest chapter in his pulp fiction life. “I’ve never ran from my mistakes,” Daly said. “I’ve always kind of been the man that you’re supposed to be when you screw up — and I’ve screwed up an awful lot, not just on tour, but in other aspects of life. I think it’s how you come back and deal with it. I don’t know if it’s motivation for fans or if it’s helping them. Whatever it is, as long as it’s a positive, to me that’s all that matters. “When you have so many ups and downs in life, like everybody does, some smaller and bigger, it makes it so much more gratifying when you do something special.” Daly birdied seven of the first 11 holes, and he might have challenged leader Rory McIlroy if not for four putts that lipped out. One, on 17, led to his only bogey of the day. That Daly is a spectacular talent has never been in doubt. You don’t go from last alternate to major champion, as he did at the 1991 PGA Championship, without considerable game. And you sure don’t win a second major — the British Open here at St. Andrews, no less — by being lucky. Daly’s nickname was “Wild Thing,” and he more than lived up to it. Among other things, he trashed a hotel room in 1997 during The Players Championship and once did a TV interview to promote a golf course wearing only blue jeans. No shirt, no shoes. The PGA Tour has put him in timeout-mode five times (his disciplinary file was a hefty 456 pages as of the fall of 2008), fined him $100,000 and ordered him to attend counseling or alcohol rehab

seven times. He’s also lost part of a considerable fortune to four ex-wives, gambling and bad loans to friends. But at 44, even Daly has had enough of his high-wire act. He’s lost almost 100 pounds since having Lap-Band surgery in February 2009 and said he quit drinking and eating as much junk. The rib and back injuries that made it painful to get his game back in shape have healed. “I feel like I’m getting healthier,” Daly said. “Being able to work on my game and get some confidence built up, (winning) would be just the most gratifying victory I could ever have.” There’s still a long way to go. Daly has three victories worldwide since winning the British Open 15 years ago, and he has dropped to 455th in the world rankings. He has just one top-50 finish this year, a tie for 24th at the Puerto Rico Open, and sounded as if he was ready to quit after missing the cut at Torrey Pines earlier this year. “I feel the game is coming around,” Daly said, “and when I’m hitting my driver the way I am right now, it brings confidence.” Daly may have ditched that shaggy mullet he sported back in 1995, but now he’s wearing pants that can only be described as garish. Thursday’s choice was lavender paisley (his girlfriend wore a matching miniskirt). “All of these pants, the good thing about them is you get dressed in the dark, any shirt is going to match,” Daly said. Not really. Daly’s sky-blue sweater, peach shirt and turquoise hat were cringeworthy, more acceptable for a 3-year-old dressing himself. But as Daly is trying to prove, it’s his game that matters. “It’s just a great course and I just love it. I don’t know why, it just suits my game,” he said. “It’s, to me, my favorite course all over the world that I’ve ever played. When you’ve got that going for you, you don’t feel disappointed when you don’t play so well. “But you feel even better when you do.”

McIlroy’s 63 tied the lowest score in any major, and it was only the second such score at St. Andrews in golf’s oldest championship. Of the eight players who have shot 63 in the British Open, McIlroy is the only one to do it in the first round. “I’m very happy that I was able to take advantage of those conditions,” said McIlroy, who had a two-shot lead over Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa. “And it gives me a little bit of a buffer going into the next three days, whatever weather comes our way.” It sure didn’t feel easy in the afternoon. Not long after McIlroy finished his round, the leaden skies over St. Andrews Bay brought showers to the Old Course and a breeze that picked up strength the rest of the afternoon. Of the 16 players atop the leaderboard, only Peter Hanson (66), Bradley Dredge (66), Lee Westwood (67) and Y.E. Yang (67) teed off after the wind showed up at noon. “The difference for the early and late starters was huge,” Westwood said. “You could have kicked it round in a low score this morning. The course was defenseless, and I actually expected somebody to post a 62. I don’t think I have ever known St. Andrews as calm. Hopefully, we might get a break with the weather tomorrow morning, but you never know.” Retief Goosen turned on his television just before 10 a.m. and saw Daly at 7-under par through 11 holes. The wind already was whipping flags when he teed off, and the two-time U.S. Open champion equated his 69 to a 66 had he played in the morning. He bore no grudges. Such is the fickle nature of links golf. “You’ve still got to make a score,” Goosen said. “It doesn’t matter how easy it is.” Phil Mickelson didn’t make a birdie in the afternoon until making an 8-foot putt on the last hole for a 73, and he walked off the course without speaking to reporters. McIlroy’s amazing run began with a drive that he hit onto the green at the 352-yard ninth hole to about 15 feet below the hole. He knocked that in for birdie and was on his way. The freckled-face kid followed with a sand wedge to 6 feet on the 10th for birdie, a 7-iron to 8 feet for birdie on the 11th and two putts from 50 feet on the short 12th hole. It was so low — and so there for the taking — that even after a record-tying round, he thought about the one that got away.

tiger Woods crouches over his ball on the 14th fairway. McIlroy was 8 under when he flew his approach dangerously close over the Road Hole bunker on the 17th, leaving him a 5-foot birdie putt. Make that, and he goes to the 357-yard 18th with a shot at 62. He missed. “It sort of went through my mind on 17 that 62 would have been the lowest round in a major,” McIlroy said. “That’s probably why I missed the putt.” His 62 at Quail Hollow produced his first victory in America. It was another example why so many have predicted stardom for him. He also shot a 61 at Royal Portrush when he was 16. This was different. “I think it probably is the most special just because it’s at St. Andrews,” McIlroy said. “And it’s the Open Championship.” Oosthuizen looked as though he might have a chance to join McIlroy. He also was at 8 under playing the 17th until making a bogey, then failing to pick up a stroke on the last hole and settling for a 65. Not often does someone open with a 65 in a major and trail by two shots. This was not a typical opening round in a major. “It just goes to show you that the golf course could have been had,” Woods said. “When I was playing either 17 or 18, to be in the top 10 you had to be 5 under. You don’t see that at too many majors.” For Woods, it was the first time in eight rounds in an Open at St. Andrews — dating to July 20, 2000 — that he was not atop the leaderboard at the end of a round. He made his move through the loop, then ended his string of three straight birdies on the par-5 14th. Woods was moving closer to the lead until he badly pulled a 4-foot par putt on the 17th, then missed a 10-foot birdie try on the last hole. “I’m in good shape,” Woods said. “I took advantage of the golf course when I needed to take advantage of it. As of right now, we’re on the good side of the draw. But you don’t know tomorrow.” Woods won the last two times on the Old Course by a combined 13 shots, and his bid to become the first player with three claret jugs at the home of golf is still in the picture. Asked if he could catch McIlroy, Woods replied, ”We’ve still got three more rounds.”

This was not a typical opening round in a major. “It just goes to show you that the golf course could have been had,” Woods said. “When I was playing either 17 or 18, to be in the top 10 you had to be 5 under. You don’t see that at too many majors.” For Woods, it was the first time in eight rounds in an Open at St. Andrews — dating to July 20, 2000 — that he was not atop the leaderboard at the end of a round. He made his move through the loop, then ended his string of three straight birdies on the par-5 14th. Woods was moving closer to the lead until he badly pulled a 4-foot par putt on the 17th, then missed a 10-foot birdie try on the last hole. “I’m in good shape,” Woods said. “I took advantage of the golf course when I needed to take advantage of it. As of right now, we’re on the good side of the draw. But you don’t know tomorrow.” Woods won the last two times on the Old Course by a combined 13 shots, and his bid to become the first player with three claret jugs at the home of golf is still in the picture. Asked if he could catch McIlroy, Woods replied, ”We’ve still got three more rounds.”

Friday, July 16 The best of both worlds could be yours in the year ahead, in that some persons at work could turn out to be wonderful companions with whom to do things socially. It should be a pleasant period for you. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - If you're unduly concerned about trying to impress others in order to feed your ego, it could cause you to end up boasting, exaggerating or behaving in some kind of unbecoming manner. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - By following a policy of always being forthright in your dealings with others, even if it is painful, you won't have to worry about what you said to whom and why. Tell it like it is. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Take extra care to exercise your best judgment when it comes to handling your funds, so that you can hang onto some of what you've recently acquired. Material conditions could be tricky at this juncture. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Someone might make you an important promise that you'll want to take to heart. However, be careful because it is likely to be done simply to placate you for the time being. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Do be protective of your interests, but also share fairly what has been acquired through a joint endeavor. Behaving selfishly could generate some problems difficult to resolve. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Wasting time by allowing yourself to be sidetracked from your responsibilities in order to engage in a frivolous interest will double your workload later, with less time to do it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It doesn't take much brainpower to know that if you're not as strong a finisher as needed, success is likely to be denied you. Be determined and consistent in all you do. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Those who work at your side might have more faith in your abilities than you do yourself. If you allow negative thinking to establish your pace, your chances of success are small. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Be content with the hand that is dealt you and you should do reasonably well for yourself. If your expectations are too high, you will be courting disappointment. Aries (March 21-April 19) - All agreements should be clearly thought out, regardless of their importance, but even more so now. There are strong signs that any little bug that isn't thrown out will come home to bite. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - It shouldn't need to be said, that if you fail to follow through on a project the way you envisioned it to be, it won't live up to your expectations. See things to completion, or the end result won't be what you want. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - Even if you don't mean it, playing down to others or treating friends indifferently won't win you any fans. Be extra mindful of your social decorum when you're out and about. Know where to look for romance and you'll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. United FeatUre Syndicate

Easing the work of the heart Dear Dr. Gott: Please explain what beta blockers are and what they do in certain medications. Dear Reader: A beta blocker, also known as a betaadrenergic blocking agent, is a medication designed to help reduce hypertension. The drug actually “blocks” the effects of epinephrine that stimulates the a d r e n a l glands. This, in turn, makes the heart beat slower and DR. PETER easier. Some GOTT beta blockers affect the heart; others affect both the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, a physician will make an appropriate decision as to which one to prescribe. Drugs in this class are used to treat heart arrhythmias (irregularities), heart attack, migraine headaches, hyperthyroidism and a number of other conditions. They are not commonly prescribed for people with a diagnosis of asthma because of the possibility of triggering an attack. Side effects may occur in some people and can include insomnia, depression, shortness of breath and a temporary elevation in cholesterol levels. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Consumer Tips on Medicine.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No.

10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I have a problem that has become embarrassing for me. I am a healthy 43-year-old woman. I am within normal weight, have no medical problems, and take only a multivitamin and calcium supplement daily. My problem is that my bangs have become very thin and I have a semi-bald spot at the top of that area. I also seem to be losing a lot of hair while showering. Is there anything I can eat, supplements or herbal remedies that I can take, or a procedure that can correct this problem or at least stop it from continuing? I have become self-conscious about this and hope you have some suggestions. I will truly try anything. Dear reader: As I have stated in the past, there are a number of reasons for hair loss and female-pattern baldness. You might begin with blood tests, particularly of the B vitamins. While you indicate you take a one-a-day vitamin, biotin and B12 deficiencies are commonly the cause of the problem. Then there’s stress, hormonal changes, iron deficiency, a family history, specific skin diseases, some medications and a number of other possibilities. Read the fine print on your daily supplements to determine if thinning hair can be a minute but distinct pos-

sibility. If you color or otherwise treat your hair, use a blow-dryer, or get perms, I recommend you discontinue the practice. What should be understood, however, is that damage to your hair from harsh products has no impact on hair loss that results from a medical problem. Rule out all obvious possibilities. Then speak with your physician regarding the use of minoxidil, the only FDA-approved medication to combat hair loss. On the downside, it is an expensive treatment and once you discontinue it, the thinning and baldness will continue once again. Review your diet. If appropriate, consider adding walnuts, fish, soy, poultry and eggs. While there is no scientific evidence to substantiate the recommendation, green tea is a good source of antioxidants and may slow the progression. Good luck. Keep me informed. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

If you bid ’em up, play ’em up BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

It can be instructive to watch inexperienced players. And, yes, it can also be frustrating. This is another deal from the social game of Chicago that I kibitzed earlier this year. After North opened one diamond, East might have made a light takeout double. Then, after South passed, West also should have passed. He had no reason to expect his side to make game, the diamonds were splitting badly, and maybe North-South had a much better fit in a major that they would locate if given a second chance. When West overcalled two clubs, North made a takeout double. East raised cautiously to three clubs, for which he could have had a much weaker hand.

(A two-diamond cue-bid is best.) Now South, incorrectly thinking that the vulnerability was favorable, bravely entered the fray with three

spades. West should have passed, but competed again. Then North bid four spades, hoping East would sacrifice in five clubs. Against four spades, West led the heart five, a strange choice. Declarer won on the board and called for the spade jack. This tempted East to cover with the queen, which cost a trump trick. West shifted to the club king and East erred again, letting his partner take the trick. East should have overtaken, cashed the spade ace, and played a third spade. South ruffed West’s club continuation in the dummy, played a heart to his jack, ruffed the club jack, and led dummy’s last trump. East won and shifted to a diamond, but South won with dummy’s ace and cashed the two hearts, discarding his diamond loser. He lost only two spades and one club.
