Author details history of Rowan Rifle Guards ALISBURY — Dr. Philip Hatfield, a psychologist and U.S. Army veteran, considers Civil War history his hobby and long ago he became immersed in the men of Company K, also known as the Rowan Rifle MARK Guards. WINEKA The “Rowan Rifles” organized in 1857 as sort of a volunteer,

S

minute-man force, which could respond to any crisis. Truth was, beyond its regular drilling, the Rowan Rifle Guards appeared mostly in parades and musters. Men who were part of the group joined because their friends and relatives did and, it could be said, being part of the Rifles probably helped their social standing and prospects with the women folk. The Rowan Rifles were “young men from hardworking, yeoman farmer, laboring families,” Hatfield says

in his recently published book about Company K. Clerks, apprentices and farmers, mostly. Only a few were wealthy. The average age of the group was 22, and the majority were from Rowan County, though the ranks also included men from counties such as Cabarrus, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Gaston and Montgomery. The volunteer company — and those elsewhere in North Carolina — actually offered a smart, disciplined contrast to the enrolled

county and state militia. You can imagine that the well-equipped Rifles and the Salisbury Brass Band of this same period were a sense of pride for the town in the late 1850s. But it’s hard to believe that any members of the Rowan Rifles knew what lay ahead of them back in the pre-Civil War days when Salisbury — and North Carolina, for that matter — was not keen on secession, though a crisis was brewing. How could they have known that as a part of the

4th North Carolina State Troops, they would participate in every major campaign waged by the Army of Northern Virginia and have a handful of men among those surrendering in 1865 at the HATFIELD Appomattox Court House? “As the remnant of Company K stacked their weapons,” Hatfield writes,

“E.A. Osborne overheard the following bittersweet remark from an unidentified member of Company K, who set his gun down at the surrender with a sigh, saying, ‘Sit there, Betsy, you’ve made many of them bite the dust.’” It’s interesting to read the list from Company K who surrendered because many of the names are still common today in Rowan County: 1st Lt. Marcus Locke Bean, 2nd Sgt. Alfred C. Carter,

LIFE LESSONS ON THE COURT Tea party

debt plan emerges as option

WASHINGTON (AP) — The next step in the weeks-long saga over how to increase the government’s borrowing cap is to let House tea party forces try it their way. A Republican “cut, cap and balance” plan set for a House vote Tuesday would condition a $2.4 trillion increase in the so-called debt limit on an immediate $100 billion-plus cut from next year’s budget and adoption by Congress of a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. “Let’s let the American people decide,” said Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on “Fox News Sunday.” “Do they want something common sense as cutting spending, capping the growth in government and requiring a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution?” Politicians say The idea appears to be to allow taxpayers are tea party-backed GOP lawmakers paying close to have the run of Congress this attention, 9A week in hopes that they’ll ultimately be able to stomach a plan emerging in the Senate to give President Barack Obama sweeping power to order a $2.5 trillion increase in the debt limit without approval by Congress. The cut, cap and balance plan, however, is a dead letter with Obama and in the Democratic-controlled Senate — as is a separate effort by Republicans in that chamber to adopt a balanced budget amendment. Amending the Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of both Houses, including 67 votes in the Senate,

Nazareth camp teaches more than basketball BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — One man doesn’t make a team. It’s a simple phrase, but it’s the ultimate lesson volunteers hope to instill in a group of boys who attended a basketball clinic at Nazareth Children’s Home last week. Sam Adams, a teaching parent at the home, came up with a way to teach the boys some skills and build confidence with the fundamentals of basketball. The clinic began last Monday and continues until Wednesday. “We are really excited about this opportunity to impact and influence our young people,” Adams said. A lot of the children come from different backgrounds and volunteers want to build confidence and promote teamwork, “a lot of areas of their life are missing a lot of those things,” he said. Shane, a 16-year-old resident, said he’s been having a good time. He’s learning how to dribble, which is one of his personal goals. “It’s been fun. It’s worth the time and the tiredness,” he said. Brandon, 15, has enjoyed the camaraderie this week. “We’ve been doing some exercises and routines and drills to get our knowledge up,” he said. Brandon admits he’s not good at basketball, but participating in the clinic is a big help. “The biggest thing I learned is self-discipline. We’ve just been learning team drills and how to encourage one another,” he said.

He was tired and sore, but felt the time he put into the clinic was worth it. There are about 13 participants ages 13 to 17. “We want them to know that when they pick up a basketball that they can have confidence in themselves. Also to show them there is more to the game of basketball than just shooting a basketball, but there is life lessons that can also be learned,” Adams said. Thomas Cousar is also a teaching parent at Nazareth and has worked with the teens to show them how to work as a team.

SALISBURY—The man charged in the death of Guillermo Montes-Gonzalez on June 9 arrived back in Salisbury Sunday. Jose Daniel-Torres Castro was arrested in Kerens, Texas — about 70 miles southeast of Dallas — in midJune at a traffic stop less than a week after the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office filed a warrant charging him with the murder. Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office found Montes-Gonzalez lying a culde-sac with multiple gunshot wounds at about 1 a.m. on June 9 after responding to a shooting call on Barley Run in western Rowan County. Montes-Gonzalez, 29, was a cook CASTRO at DJ’s Restaurant on West Innes Street. He had a wife, Magali Solano Garcia, and three children ages 3, 5 and 11. Authorities also arrested and charged Castro’s mother, 38-year-old Maria Castro, with accessory to first-degree murder after the fact. According to investigators, Maria Castro helped her son hide a blue van that belonged to Montes-Gonzalez and gave investigators false information. The van was found by investigators in the Castros’ driveway at 2110 Harrison Road. Jose Castro is being held without bond.

YESTERDAY: Dairy days In this Salisbury Post photograph from the newspaper’s Aug. 16, 1948, edition, Robert S. Edmiston Sr., left, stands in front of an Edmiston & Sons Dairy truck with four of his six sons: Allen, Billy, Henry and Richard. Robert S. ‘Sam’ Edmiston Jr. was absent when the photograph was taken, and eldest son John was stationed overseas with the Army. Robert Sr. took over the family’s 200-acre farm in Mount Ulla Township in 1929 and, by the time of this photo, it was 660 acres, growing alfalfa, oats, barley and wheat, with 200 acres in pasture grasses. The farm had 120 dairy cows, putting out an average of 400 gallons of milk per day that was delivered to customers in Mooresville. Edmiston & Sons Dairy installed its pasteurizing plant in 1947, and the farm’s herd furnished about 75 percent of the milk sold. At the time, Sam Edmiston was in charge of retail milk sales for the dairy.

Eating right doesn’t have to be boring Man accused Q: Do I have to become a health nut to lose weight and keep it off? A: If you mean never eat junk food again, never miss a workout and only eat no-fat, notaste foods, then the answer is no. If we would have to live that way, life would sure seem long. Of course there are people out there that due to health conditions have to be on an extremely strict diet. (However, a diet that has been recommended by a doctor or set up by a registered dietitian is very important to stick to.) For you, the people who want to better their eating habits but want to be able to live and enjoy forbidden foods once in a while, the following works for me. ESTER First of all, I try to stick with the serving sizes recommended MARSH by the USDA. Your calorie intake needs depend on your age, gender, and activity level, among other factors. Again, the website I recommended last week, www.choosemyplate.gov will give you all this information, too, and will calculate your calorie needs when you put in all your information. Typically: • For grains, (and, yes, your body needs carbohydrates) about six servings of grains are needed. Make at least half of your grains whole. One big bowl of cereal is more than one serving, and a 6-inch sub can be 4-6 servings of grains. • For vegetables, (and I have never met anyone who gained weight on just vegetables) try five serving sizes, and eat more dark green vegetables like broccoli, spinach and dark green lettuce, as well as orange vegetables like carrots and sweet potatoes. But watch out for a salad piled with bacon, cheese, croutons and dressings. They add lots of “other,” which is

mainly high fat content with lots of calories. • For fruits, 2-4 servings are needed. Choose a variety of fruits and pick the fresh ones that are in season. Go easy on fruit juices. • For the milk group, shoot for 3-4 servings. Choose low-fat or fat-free when choosing milk, yogurt and other milk products. If you can’t tolerate milk products, choose lactose free and/or calcium fortified foods and beverages. • When it comes to the meat and bean group, this country loves its meats. Huge serving sizes just on one sub or sandwich are normal, but it puts us way over our daily recommended serving size of 2-3 servings. (One serving being a piece of meat or chicken the size of your palm of your hand.). Bake, broil or grill, and choose low-fat meats and poultry. Vary your protein intake with fish, beans, peas, nuts and seeds. I really try to get in all my food groups with the correct serving sizes. One time, when I was logging my food intake, I was shocked I did not take in enough fruits and vegetables. I love them. It is all about awareness of what you are putting into your body. I will have ice cream, though not very often. I will eat ribs, loaded baked potato and steamed vegetables once in a while. I use less butter and oil, making food tasty with herbs and spices. I do not even own a deep-fryer but love it once in a blue moon, so I will buy a bucket of fried chicken. A healthy variety of foods, low-fat yet tasty, adequate serving sizes and a calorie intake matching your body’s burn rate (if you want to stay the same weight) is not a horrible life sentence. It is the recipe for feeling and looking great. And of course, an occasional piece of cheese cake is definite part of this “not a health nut” lifestyle. I just love to be healthy.

Council to announce interim city manager

From 1a “Some of them are not used to being in crowds,” Cousar said. He believes people look poorly on the children who live at Nazareth, but says these children are good kids who need someone to give them a chance. Many of them volunteer and are junior firefighters and work to raise money for activities they want to do. “I’ve seen them open up. They like this,” Cousar said. Steve Berger is a friend of Adams and also volunteered to help with the clinic. “The biggest thing is teamwork and not getting frustrated about learning new things. There’s a process,” Berger said. He said he loves working with children. Joshua Barger has played a support role throughout the clinic. “I talk to them about their experiences and help them reflect on them,” he said. It’s interesting to see the children light up after a day on the court. “It really boosts their self-esteem,” he said. Adams hopes to make this basketball clinic an annual event and recruit more volunteers. For more information about the Nazareth Basketball clinic contact the home at www.nazch.com.

SALISBURY — Salisbury City Council is expected to announce the interim city manager during a 4 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall. City Manager David Treme is retiring after more than 25 years at the helm of city government. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, Council will consider signing a contract with Springstead and Associates, a Richmond, Va.-based recruitment firm, to launch the search for a new city manager. Salisbury Human Resources Director Zack Kyle recommended the board hire Springstead because the firm has worked with Salisbury before and is familiar with the city. The firm could advertise for the position, narrow down the candidate pool for interviews and ask for feedback from the public through online surveys and other methods. Council members have said they want public input as they search for city manager candidates, both internally and outside the city. Council will honor Treme by passing a resolution recognizing his service. Also Tuesday, Council will: • Recognize Bryan Alston for obtaining Professional Engineering certification. • Hear about the Parks and Recreation Department’s selection as a National Gold Medal finalist and view the department video submitted to the National Recreation and Park Association for the final selection competition. • Hold a public hearing regarding an application for a 2011 Justice Assistance Grant in the amount of $46,012. • Consider a preparedness Memorandum of Understanding with the Rowan County Health Department to utilize the Civic Center as a Local Point of Dispensing Site. • Consider a draft ordinance establishing a Housing Advocacy Commission and consider setting a public hearing for Aug. 2. • Receive public comment.

Mosquitoes posing more serious threats BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

A few years ago, mosquitoes in North Carolina were nothing more than a nuisance — a flying critter that would light and bite. Itchy for a few days, the mosquito bite never held any real venom for hapless victims in the piedmont. “The Eastern Equine stayed down east and the La Cross stayed in the mountains,” said Lynn Aldridge, Environmental Health supervisor for the Rowan County Health Department. “We looked upon mosquitoes as an aggravation and hindrance.”

Then, West Nile Virus migrated to the piedmont from New York, starting in centennial chicken flocks. Mosquitoes carry West Nile Virus by biting an infected bird. The virus is spread to humans after the infected mosquito samples our blood for his dinner. These viruses are known as arboviruses — viruses transmitted to vertebrates, such as people and mammals, by blood-feeding insects called arthropods, such as mosquitoes. Three such viruses seen here are Eastern Equine Encephalitis, La Cross Encephalitis and West Nile Virus. The diseases occur from June

through September, the most active seasons for mosquitoes, and cause mild, flu-like illness. The diseases can lead to more serious diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, meningoencephalitis and even death. Sharon Owen, nursing director at the Rowan County Health Department, said the only requirements for reporting arboviruses are for people that have meningitis or encephalitis — and only then when they have a four-fold increase of antibodies in lab results. From 2000-2005, there were no cases where this

THREATS FROm 3a happened in Rowan County. Since the migration of West Nile Virus to the piedmont area of North Carolina, environmental health specialists like Aldridge have been looking at mosquitoes as less a hindrance and more as an environmental health issue. When the virus first migrated to North Carolina, Aldridge said county health departments, in conjunction with the state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, did bird sampling. Birds found dead were sampled for West Nile Virus. The sampling gave them an idea of how the migration was happening and where it was headed. They don’t do that anymore. “It’s here,” said Aldridge matter-of-factly. “Now all you can do is take care of the water.” Aldridge refers to the mosquito larvae lifecycle, which is from 7-14 days long. During that time, any standing water becomes breeding grounds for the biting bugs. “We have a pretty hard time explaining this issue to the general public,” said Aldridge. “What the general public thinks is that the creek in the woods or the pond across the road is where the mosquitoes are coming

After five games, the 55-59 group played out the final with the Raleigh Wazee team taking home the Gold medal. Second place went to Durham and the Salisbury Humana Ringers took bronze. It was a long day of play,

but that’s what Senior Games across the state of North Carolina is all about, keeping seniors 55 years of age and older active and independent, said Phyllis Loflin-Kluttz, senior games coordinator for Rowan County. “This was my first basketball tournament for my three teams and I look forward to hosting many more,” she said.

Doug Reed says the flash flood Thursday night washed nearly 3,000 pounds of young trout out of their holding pools. Reed says the flood also took down about 75 feet of fence around the facility. Reed says officials are still working to determine exactly how many were killed.

He estimated the damage as high as $50,000. The hatchery has about 800,000 fish at any one time and produces about 35,000 pounds of fish a month. The facility hatches the eggs of several species of trout that are stocked in about 30 miles of streams and three ponds on the reservation.

from.” That is actually not the case, he added. Usually, those areas have frogs, fish or other larvae-eating animals to eat the mosquito eggs before they can hatch into bloodsucking pests. “Problems come when dog bowls don’t get emptied out or the gutter spout becomes clogged up,” said Aldridge. “It’s the little things like that.” Aldridge said there are a couple of ways to prevent mosquitoes from becoming a problem in cases like that. If you’ve got a small standing body of water — maybe a drainage area where there are no frogs or fish — there are products called mosquito dunks that can be thrown in to kill the eggs. There are a variety of brand-name products on the market and can be found at any hardware store. The other thing to do is flush the problem. From dog water bowls to a child’s sandbox that has collected water, simply dumping the water out and starting fresh keeps the problem at bay. “If it rains, you’re fine,” he added. “If you go a week without rain, stick a water hose up in the gutter and flush it out. All you’re doing is washing the larvae out.” Another problem area many don’t realize is there are the black corrugated pipes that some use to drain water from their gutter down

to the ditch. Those ripples collect water and mosquitoes lay their eggs there. It is dark and damp, two things mosquito larvae like. Simply flushing those pipes out with a hose will solve the problem. Aldridge points out that mosquitoes don’t only cause a problem for humans. Man’s best friend is at an increased risk of heart worms with increased mosquito presence in the yard. “That’s usually a death sentence for dogs when that happens,” said Aldridge. To reduce the risk of heartworms, consider putting your pet on a heartworm preventative, as well as reducing standing water. West Nile Virus can be transmitted to horses, a problem for an animal that you’ve spent a lot of money caring for. There is an approved equine vaccine for West Nile Virus. “It’s not only us that have to worry about the mosquitoborne illnesses,” said Aldridge. For humans, a mosquito repellant containing DEET can also be used. Repellants are not recommended for children under 2 months old and the maximum concentration of DEET in a repellant that is safe for children and infants is 30 percent.

AREA

Returning to Town Creek Indian Mound after 48 years he other day, I was able to return to the site of my end-of-year class trip when I was in Mrs. Misenheimer's sixthgrade class at Granite Quarry School in 1963. The subject of my 1963 class trip, and the subject of my 2011 return was the Town Creek Indian Mound, near the town of MACK WILLIAMS Mount Gilead, in Montgomery County. My friend, Rita Lea, who is of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, stopped by and picked me up, driving us southward from Danville, Va. Just a few miles from Mt. Gilead, we were warned by signage of road closure and a detour ahead. After being wound around on our detour, and back on N.C. 731, we were fearful that the detour had taken us away from the mound until we saw a couple of signs ahead in that particular shade of brown used for museums, parks and state historical sites. Upon seeing that color, and even before the words written therein were close enough to become legible, we both excitedly shouted: “Brown signs!,” then laughed about evidently being on the same wavelength. Upon arriving at the mound, we viewed a short film on the excavation there, looked at some historical displays and collections of excavated arti-

T

facts, then walked to the restored, stockaded site. The site itself is kept mowed, but that day, we walked down a mowed path leading to it that was surrounded on both sides by a whole field of the yard-tall horsetail fennel plant with its beautiful shade of green. Upon entering the stockade-enclosed site, we first visited the restored burial hut, equipped with Pee Dee Indian mannequins and a taped audio program in which each bereaved member of a Pee Dee family expresses their sorrow at the death of a young child of their clan, enlightening the visitor on their particular burial customs. When I was there in 1963, this burial hut contained excavated graves, with skeletons visible “in situ.” One of the employees there on this recent visit told us that after the year 1974, human remains were no longer allowed to be put on public view. She said that those remains are now in Raleigh being studied. I do hope that when the study is complete, those Native-American remains can be returned to the soil where they had rested for so long under the original burial hut, later reconstructed not far from the confluence of the waters of Town Creek and the Little River. When that day arrives, they can be covered with soil and be out of sight, because no matter how fascinated I was with them as a 12-year-old boy on that Granite Quarry School trip, and though at that time they were still in the original positions in

which they had been placed in death, it still seemed quite rude, even then, to be able to watch them as they slept. Rita and I ascended the Temple Mound to its restored, sacred temple. It was just exactly as I remembered it 48 years ago. The reconstructed temple was made of tree-trunks, limbs, thatch and daubed mud. There was an open central space in the roof for the smoke from the fire to exit and for the sunlight to enter. It reminded me of the atrium of the Roman houses of antiquity; evidently the practicality of some designs spans both time and cultures. On the inner walls were painted the half-human forms of a “man-deer” and “man-wolf,” just as I recalled them from 1963. These figures were NativeAmerican icons, but when I saw them again, I realized that they were also the icons of memory of a 12year-old boy, who not so long ago turned 60 years of age. On a table within the restored sacred temple were placed a small wooden bowl-cup, a whelk shell which could also be used as a cup, and a glass jar containing a liquid which was deep black in color and opaque. We took this liquid to be some of the “black drink,” most likely brewed from the fruit of the same native bush used by the Pee Dee Indians for such brewing. No fun came from this brewed drink, only the purging of the stomach, as a part of the sacred rites of the Pee Dee. The Latin

subMITTed phoTo

Mack visits the Town Creek Indian Mound. name for the bush from which this drink is derived is: “Ilex vomitoria”( honestly, it is). Not feeling the particular need for a purge, both Rita and I were content to merely ponder the “black drink” in the jar. While still in the restored temple atop the mound, we heard a sound reminiscent of something buzzing inside a bottle. Looking over at another interior section of the temple wall, we saw a row of joined dirt dauber nests. The seemingly attached tubes of the nests, progressing from lesser to greater length, gave the overall appearance of a set of panpipes, but I would not have wanted to have attempted the playing of these. On our way out of the temple, we became aware that several of these insects were buzzing around our legs, so with our own individual bursts of adrenaline, we burst out of the

temple's entrance. The entrance was low, and Rita’s adrenaline was accompanied by the good sense to duck, but I exited with adrenaline alone, without good sense, bashing my head against one of the limb-beams with great force. I fully expected to see black and pass out but didn’t. Rita said that she expected me to pass out and immediately took hold of my arm, in case I did. She told me that when she heard that loud “whack,” the whole restored temple of the Pee Dee Indians seemed to shake. Rita said :”When is your birthday?” My first thought was that she was asking me this in case any later-quoted, posthumous corroboration on my part were needed in the placing of the correct date upon my stone, but instead, she was checking my continued mental grasp of things.

She had me sit down and inquired as to some current events, to which I answered correctly, relieving some but not all of her worry. In the short introductory film about the Pee Dee, it was mentioned that archaeologists had determined that the first sacred temple erected on the mound had collapsed hundreds of years ago. On July 7, the restored sacred temple at the Town Creek Indian Mound shook, but thankfully, did not collapse. In the natural history museum where I work, we make frequent checks of our exhibits, because some members of the public will, unfortunately, do damage to them. I am sure that the staff at the Town Creek Indian Mound also have the assigned duty of monitoring such “handling” by the public. I’m not sure if I did any damage to that wooden limb of the reconstructed temple with my head, but if I did, the following scenario may come to pass upon the next scheduled staff inspection of the restorations at the Town Creek Indian Mound. One staff member may say to another, ”You really have to keep a watchful eye on the public, as some of them are prone to vandalism. Take this beam, for instance; it is strong and sturdy, but now has a crack running through it, most likely the result of being struck with great force! His colleague may nod in agreement, adding, “To have inflicted this sort of damage, the perpetrator must surely have wielded an object of the most peculiar density!”

New GOP-led redistricting maps draw criticism election results and other data. Republicans currently have a 68-52 advantage in the House, but they’d like to get four more seats to get a vetoproof majority. The GOP’s legislative agenda has been hamstrung this year by Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s vetoes. The Senate’s 3119 GOP majority is already veto-proof. “The map clearly lends itself to a Republican majority,” said Jonathan Kappler, research director at the nonpartisan North Carolina Free Enterprise Foundation, a business-oriented group that’s analyzing the boundaries. “Whether it leads itself to a veto-proof (House) majority is another question. That’s a challenge.” Democrats agree Republicans can take partisan considerations into account in drawing the seats. But they say the lines have been manipulated by placing larger than necessary percentages of black voters into districts, thereby making surrounding districts more white and Republican. “It’s a matter of following the law and it’s a matter of degree,” said House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange. “We have not seen this kind of partisanship in maps before in North Carolina because we have not seen the kind of packing into AfricanAmerican districts.” Republicans said population trends, combined with federal voting laws to protect minority representation and state Supreme Court rulings, required the maps to be drawn the way they are. They point to 19 pairs of incumbents — an equal number of Democrats and Republicans — being drawn into the same districts as evidence the Democrats aren’t being targeted. Republicans include Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Pro Tempore Dale Folwell. P airs would have to campaign against each other next year to remain in the Legislature. But it appears Republicans are taking advantage of changing population patterns in urban areas to pick up seats, particularly in the House. “That’s just pure politics, pure partisan hardball,” said Hackney, the former House speaker who’s also been placed in a district with fellow Orange County Democratic Rep. Verla Insko.

RALEIGH (AP) — Seventerm Democratic Rep. Jennifer Weiss aggravated Republicans for years by pushing her party’s agenda when it controlled the North Carolina House. The former finance committee leader peeved the new GOP majority more this year by speaking out against things on its own to-do list. Now Weiss considers it a compliment on her legislative effectiveness when mapmakers proposed splitting her Cary subdivision between two House seats to rope her into a Republican-leaning district against first-term GOP Rep. Tom Murry of nearby Morrisville. The proposed district line takes a detour to within 600 feet of her home to scoop her up. “I’m surprised the line didn’t go right down the marital bed,” Weiss quipped. “I’m happy that my husband can still vote for me.” Weiss would be one of several endangered House Democrats, if the proposed General Assembly maps for the next decade become law at the end of the month and are upheld by courts. Redistricting committees begin meeting in earnest later this week after public hearings on the maps are held statewide Monday. The data behind the House maps suggest a Republican tactic to pad their margins in the chamber by pushing out some outspoken opponents such as Weiss in current or emerging Democratic areas. Republicans insist they are drawing “fair and legal” boundaries and aren’t targeting Democratic incumbents like Weiss. “We’ve tried to create much more competitive districts than we’ve ever had before,” said Rep. David Lewis, R-Harnett, the House Redistricting Committee’s senior chairman. The boundaries for the 50 Senate seats and 120 House seats are being reworked to account for 1.5 million more people living in the state compared to 2000. The areas in and around Raleigh and Charlotte will have more representation in the General Assembly because their population outpaced the state as a whole. The drafts of House and Senate maps appear to put Republicans in a good position to extend their simultaneous majorities after 140 years out of power, according to map analysts, past

NC man designs championship mountain biking course

PATRICK SULLIVAN/THe TimeS-NeWS of HeNderSoNviLLe

Christopher Herndon works with Walker Shaw, 15, and Luca Shaw, 14, on a small pump track that Herndon designed and built at the Shaw’s home. woods is what will really wow spectators. “Most people would walk into the woods and say, ‘There’s no way anyone could ride a bike down this,’” Herndon said of the numerous boulders and drop-offs that riders navigate. “These guys come through it at 30 mph — pretty impressive.” So, too, Herndon added, is the commitment to excellence shown by Beech Mountain Resort. He said officials there approached him last fall about submitting a bid to USA Cycling for hosting nationals. After walking the area one day, Herndon determined the beautiful location, unique High Country terrain and topnotch accommodations in and around the resort made Beech Mountain an ideal spot. However, he told officials

the trails there needed a lot of work, and that turning the resort into a national championship-caliber venue would require a substantial investment. The entire project — including course construction — will cost about $100,000, Herndon said, and “they were fully on board for it.” In addition to hiring Herndon and his team, the resort will purchase and install lift trays, which hold competitors’ bikes on the ski lift as racers are shuttled up the mountain. This is a necessity for increasing the capacity of riders atop the mountain during an elite race like nationals, Herndon explained. Now, each lift chair will hold four riders instead of one. “You have to go nine hours from here to get that

years to come — the courses he’s building, the people he’s bringing in,” said Walker Shaw, who competed with his brother at junior nationals last year in Colorado. “I actually really look forward to next year because it’s going to be a great training tool, having a place like that to ride downhill. There’s not many places you can ride downhill bikes. It’s very specific, and it has to be good for it to be fun.” Luca Shaw added that he hopes the new course at Beech Mountain will elevate the popularity of the sport in the Southeast. Talia Freeman, marketing director at Beech Mountain, said Herndon brings “a real insight to safety and beginner terrain,” which is important to the progression of mountain biking in the region. “We are very fortunate he is overseeing our efforts,” Freeman said. “To say (Herndon) is knowledgeable of the sport and trail building is an understatement. He really takes an innovative approach to everything he does, which will ultimately differentiate us from other areas.”

STOKESDALE (AP) — Authorities say the owner of a Stokesdale restaurant is dead after an apparent drowning at Belews Lake. The Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office says 46-yearold John Wendall Johnston of Madison picked up a friend at around 10:30 p.m. Saturday to go sailing. Deputies say the two met up with other friends and sailed to the middle of the lake to go swimming. Johnston got into the water, but a short time later the group couldn’t find him and called authorities. Rescue crews found Johnston’s body at about 6 a.m. Sunday. Johnston owned Stokey’s Pizza in Stokesdale.

Man charged with DWI after I-40 Greensboro wreck GREENSBORO (AP) — Authorities say a man has been charged with DWI in a single-vehicle crash that killed a passenger and temporarily shut down Interstate 40 in Greensboro. Police say Randolph Bell was driving a 2007 Ford Focus early Sunday morning when he lost control of the car and hit the guardrail in the center median. Police say Melissa Loraine Hoffman of Greensboro was ejected from the car and later died at a hospital.

Nash chicken plant suits costing taxpayers $1M ROCKY MOUNT (AP) — Lawsuits over a poultry processing operation in Nash County have already cost taxpayers more than $1 million. The Rocky Mount Telegram reports Sunday that more than $1.1 million in taxpayers’ money has been spent on lawsuits and environmental studies over two lawsuits. Laurel, Miss.-based Sanderson Farms wants to build a second North Carolina poultry processing plant. The 180,000-square-foot facility is proposed for a 150acre tract. A Pitt County judge recently dismissed lawsuits designed to prevent Sanderson from building. Landowners in the area and the city of Wilson have not said whether they plan to appeal. Wilson City Manager Grant Goings says the issue is worth fighting for. The Wilson City Council last fall voted to spend as much as $1 million to pay for litigation against the proposed plant.

The sport is much like skiing in that competitors race down the mountain — timetrial style against the clock — executing turns and jumps.

It’s great to see a resort actually taking the right steps, and not just trying to host an event to make money off of it. They truly want to do it right, and that’s the only reason I’m involved with them.” Conversely, resort officials were eager to work with a man recognized as one of the best around in creating first-class courses. “We feel confident that Christopher Herndon will design a unique facility ensuring that Beech Mountain Resort will produce an innovative product,” Ryan Costin, general manager of the resort, said in a statement. The Shaw brothers, who will be together at Hendersonville High this fall, certainly are excited about having such a venue so close to home.

HENDERSONVILLE (AP) — Christopher Herndon spent his youth not only riding his mountain bike on the trails of Pisgah National Forest, but also crafting jumps and other cool terrain alterations for some gnarly bike stunts. He continued to do so years later while cycling for Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky, satisfying the daredevil side of the Brevard native. Now a 30-year-old general contractor from Etowah, Herndon has reached the pinnacle of race-course design, having been chosen to oversee the construction of a race track at Beech Mountain Resort in Avery County that will host the 2011 and 2012 USA Cycling Mountain Bike Gravity National Championships. Herndon, the 2007 dual slalom national champion in mountain biking, is spending weeks constructing the riveting courses in time for this year’s nationals Sept. 22-25, which for the first time will take place at a resort in the South. “It’s going to be fun and challenging but also safe,” said 14-year-old Luca Shaw of Hendersonville, who races on Herndon’s Specialized/ GROM elite juniors team with his 15-year-old brother, Walker. “It seems that every race we went to this year with Chris, he’d always have better ideas and was always thinking, ‘That could be so much better,’ or, ‘That’s really dangerous.’” “Which is funny,” Herndon said, “because when I was in college, I built a lot of crazy stuff that was really fun to ride because I was wanting to push myself to my limits. But now that I’m building for other people, I’ve kind

Reuse aluminum foil, build a solar oven Frugal people sometimes get teased for reusing items. For example, you might save aluminum foil to reuse later. While some may find that idea silly, frugal people know there are plenty of ways to put foil to good use. How have you reused aluminum foil? Here are a few suggestions. Dryer balls: Wad foil into balls that are approximately 3 inches in diameter and use them to reduce static in your dryer. You can wrap SARA a tennis ball NOEL in foil, too. Pot scrubber: If you don’t like the dryer ball idea, you can wad the foil into a ball and use it to scrub pots and pans instead. One reader, Roxanne from West Virginia, shares: “That wadded-up foil will clean the barbecue grill, or at least take the bigger stuff off so you can clean the rack easier.” You can use the foil balls for cat toys or to scrub rust from chrome, too. Remove wrinkles: A flat piece can be used on your

ironing board under the fabric cover to reflect heat. This will make your ironing faster because both sides of your fabric will benefit from the heat. Prevent rust on steel wool pads: Place steel wool pads in a ziplock bag or in aluminum foil after use and store them in the freezer; they’ll last longer. Cardboard shutters: Cover foam board or layers of cardboard with foil and place these in windows to reflect light and heat. These can be placed in rear-facing windows, so neighbors don’t complain. Another reader, N.J. in Vermont, shares: “In my neck of the woods, people use solid foil-backed insulation board, covered with pretty fabric, to plug the windows. My aunt did this on the windows of her rambling old house. From outside and in, they looked like damask window coverings. They coordinated with, but did not match, the heavy drapes in the living room. She also attached grosgrain ribbon loops to the sides of the insulation boards for easy removal.” For more information and directions read: www.builditsolar.com/ Projects/Conservation/Card-

boardShutter.htm. Drip barrier: You can reuse foil to cover your stove drip pans or on oven racks. Sharpen scissors: Fold foil in layers and cut with scissors to sharpen them. This is most helpful for youth scissors or cheap household scissors. But it’s not recommended for sewing scissors. Solar oven: Build a solar oven with cardboard and aluminum foil. For directions, visit www.solarcooking.org/ plans. Another reader, Karen from Kansas, shares: “An excellent book on the subject is ‘Cooking With the Sun’ by Beth Halacy and Dan Halacy. Instructions for making your own solar cooker are included in the book, as well as lots of recipes. The recipes will indicate if the recipe will work in a reflector cooker, a solar oven or both. Check your local library for a copy.” Clean silverware: Line a pan with aluminum foil, set your silverware in it, pour boiling water over it, and then sprinkle 1⁄2 cup of baking soda into the pan. Let your silverware soak for an hour. Rinse it with water; let the silverware dry flat on a towel, and then polish it. Universal UCliCk for Ufs

Campbell shines in first show since Alzheimer’s news BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — Glen Campbell leaned over his blue electric guitar, plucked a few strings and made a sour face. “Dadgum it,” he said. Campbell, 75, fiddled a few seconds longer while standing backstage Friday night at the IP Casino and finally found a perfect D chord. “There it is,” he said, before turning on his heel and marching into the spotlight. He launched into “Gentle on my Mind” and — without so much as clearing his throat — nailed it. “That first one is a doozey, ain’t it?” Campbell asked the crowd. It was classic Glen Campbell. Alzheimer’s disease may have changed a lot of things in the Country Music Hall of Famer’s life, but his ability to create sounds that still resonate in our shared memory with his blue G&L Comanche on “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” or his Hamer 12string on “Southern Nights” is virtually untouched. In the night’s finest moment, Campbell brought the crowd to its feet after nailing the delicate runs in the middle of his classic “Wichita Lineman.” Campbell’s first performance since announcing he has Alzheimer’s, the degenerative brain disease that’s slowly robbing him of his memories and abilities, was largely a triumph. His family and road crew were worried he might be rusty after a long layoff since his last performance. Except for a few flubbed lyrics, quickly corrected with the help of teleprompters,

Glen Campbell Campbell and his band powered through a tight 22-song set interspersed with selfdeprecating jokes. “I tell you I’m happy to be here,” Campbell said. “At my age I’m happy to be anywhere. It seems like I’ve been doing this since Hitler was a corporal.” Fronting a band that includes four of his children and close friends, Campbell played favorites like “Rhinestone Cowboy” and “Galveston” and finished the evening with two songs from his new album, “Ghost on the Canvas,” out Aug. 30 on Surfdog Records. The album, which features guest appearances and song contributions from Paul Westerberg, Jakob Dylan, Keith Urban, Billy Corgan, Brian Setzer, Rick Nielsen and Dick Dale, is Campbell’s last studio album. He plans a goodbye tour as well. Friday’s show was a one-off, an

excuse to gather his family around him and have a little fun. “When I get tired of playing golf I do one of these,” Campbell joked in an interview earlier in the day. Campbell was loose and easy-going all day, joking his way through rehearsal and posing for pictures with fans before and after the show. Two drove six hours and showed up with homemade shirts that read “Glen Campbell Fan.” A couple flew in from Seattle. Another fan noted he keeps Campbell’s music in heavy rotation on his iPod. “It’s wonderful to meet someone with taste!” Campbell said with a laugh. Tour manager Bill Maclay said the good mood is due to the presence of Campbell’s family. His wife, Kim, began coming on the road with him three years ago. And his band includes his oldest daughter, Debby Campbell-Cloyd, who sings harmony, and his three youngest children: sons Cal on drums and Shannon on guitar, and daughter Ashley on banjo and keys. All those familiar faces make Campbell feel comfortable. “The road is home right now,” Maclay said. As much as Campbell enjoyed being on stage, the few moments he spent in the wings while watching Debby and Ashley sing a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide” may have been his favorite. “I like to hear sister harmonies,” he said in a whisper. “I don’t know what it is. They’re amazing. I’m really blessed. It’s awesome.”

Some might even call that insanity. Just imagine how much money you could have socked away in the last 10 years if you’d focused on preparing for the future instead of thinking of all the ways you could get others to do stuff for you. It’s not that Mamie and Billy Schwartz were financial geniuses. They were realists. They created a hefty safety net, and in doing so they found the peace and dignity of being self-reliant.

everything in what she called a “house dress,” complete with stockings and jewelry. What a lady. My grandmother would be amazed by all of the things we hire people to do for us. And we don’t even think of these things as luxuries, either. It’s the way that our society has evolved over the past 50 years. We’re made to believe it is natural and normal to hire others to do the things we could easily do for ourselves: Bake our bread; cook our meals; clean our clothes; grow and package our produce; wash our cars; change the oil in our cars; service our appliances; mow our lawns; clean our homes; cut our hair; manicure our hands; pedicure our feet; massage our bodies; wax our brows; polish our shoes; teach our kids; clean our pools; wash our windows; sew and mend our clothes; wash, groom and walk our pets; haul our trash; and drive us to the airport. We’re going through a major financial crisis in this country that all stems from one four-letter word: D-E-BT. We’ve overdosed on living beyond our means. Someday, things will turn around. How will you react? Do you plan to go back to the way you were, spending all you have and feeling fully justified to hire others to do

Compared to my grandmother, I’m a lazy bum. Instead of hiring others to do domestic services for them, she and my grandfather focused more on how much money they could sock away for emergencies and for their “old age.” Both lived to be nearly 100. They never applied for Medicaid or government assistance or a needed handout or financial aid. They lived in MARY their own HUNT home (purchased with cash) until they died. They never had a car loan, but always drove a nice car. Grandma dressed like a million bucks. She could knit and quilt, cook, bake, clean, decorate and entertain. She could as easily sew a winter coat as a new throw pillow for the sofa. She was an elegant, wonderful lady with an eye for beauty. She single-handedly landscaped their backyard in Spokane, Wash., planting trees, digging flower beds, installing borders and flowers that turned a gravel pit into a botanical garden. She never owned a pair of pants, doing

where Republicans control just 47. “No one believes there are 67 votes for any version of that,” said Dick Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, on CBS’ “Face The Nation.” Public opinion polls show that voters like the idea of a balanced budget, but the government faces such massive budget gaps — it now borrows more than 40 cents of every dollar it spends — that the cuts required to eliminate the deficit were too draconian for even the GOP-dominated House to endorse balancing the budget anytime soon. The House Republican budget still leaves deficits in the $400 billion range after 10 years. The immediate issue is allowing the government to continue to borrow from investors and foreign countries like China to pay its bills — which include a $23 billion batch of Social Security checks set to go out the day after an Aug. 2 deadline to avoid default. With the deadline just over two weeks away and with a recent round of White House talks failing to generate a breakthrough, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the cagey leader of his party in the Senate, has proposed a plan that would allow Obama to automatically win a large enough increase in the debt to keep the government afloat until 2013 unless both House and Senate override him by vetoproof margins. McConnell’s plan has political advantages but has come under assault from many conservatives eager to take advantage of the current opportunity to use the need to lift the debt ceiling to force deficit cuts now. But Republicans refuse to consider any tax revenue increases demanded by Obama and Democrats to balance any budget package, and Democ-

rats won’t go along with significant cuts to benefits programs like Medicare and Medicaid unless tax increases on the wealthy are a part of the package. “It’s not fair to ask senior citizens to pay a price, to ask families paying for their college educations, for their children to pay a price, but to leave the most privileged out of the bargain,” said Jacob Lew, the White House budget director, on ABC’s “This Week.” “Everything has to be on the table.” That leaves lawmakers well short of the $2 trillionplus in deficit cuts required to offset a debt increase that’s big enough to solve the problem through next year’s elections. A sense of futility has pervaded White House talks since Boehner abandoned hopes for a “grand bargain” with Obama a week ago Saturday, prompting McConnell to come out with his plan. Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is on board but wants to add a plan to create yet another deficit panel, comprised en-

tirely of lawmakers and evenly divided between the two parties, that would try to break the deadlock by the end of the year. It’s also expected that a package of spending cuts, perhaps in the $1.5 trillion range over the coming decade, would be attached to the McConnell-Reid measure, perhaps in the House. For now, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is standing behind his tea partiers. But he seems open to the McConnell idea. “The cut, cap and balance plan that the House will vote on next week is a solid plan for moving forward,” Boehner told reporters Friday. “Let’s get through that vote, and then we’ll make decisions about what will come after.” For its part, the White House continues to press in public for a large-scale bargain. But it’s obviously open to the McConnell plan. “There’s multiple tracks that are being discussed,” Lew said. “It’s not a given how we get to raising the debt limit.”

Badge flashed by civilian at real police officer MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Memphis Police say a man who flashed a badge and yelled at the driver of a sport utility vehicle to slow down got an unexpected surprise. The badge flasher was a civilian. The man in the un-

marked SUV was a police detective. The department says a plain-clothes detective was on the way to a drug investigation Thursday when Stephen Gibson, 49, of Bartlett pulled up beside his vehicle on Inter-

state 40, showed a gold badge and shouted profanities about the detective’s speed. The detective turned on the vehicle’s blue lights and pulled over Gibson, charging him with criminal impersonation.

Voters weigh in with lawmakers ATLANTA (AP) — For Rep. Tim Scott, the debt ceiling is not only the top issue voters in his South Carolina district want to talk about these days, it seems to be the only issue. The office of the freshman Republican has been logging dozens of calls and emails every day about the debt ceiling, and it’s the No. 1 topic of discussion at town hall-style meetings with voters. “Tons of phone calls, lots of emails, and the closer we get to Aug. 2, the more we’re hearing,” Scott said. With the deadline looming to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling, voters are tuning in, worried by the prospect of a financial meltdown if the nation defaults and concerned that elected officials in Washington are playing politics with an issue that could have farreaching consequences. If the United States falls into default, the result could be higher interest rates on mortgages, car loans and credit cards as well as a stop to Social Security checks for the elderly. In its simplest form, the debt ceiling fight crystallizes party orthodoxy: Republicans staking out a hard line against raising taxes and Democrats standing firm against deep cuts to government services. President Barack Obama supports a blend of spending cuts and tax increases,

cause lawmakers to dig in their heels. “Don’t bend, stay the course, stand firm,” Rep. Tom Price said in summing up the feedback from constituents in his heavily Republican district north of Atlanta. Price said calls and emails are running about 50-1 urging him not to increase taxes as part of any compromise, and he compared to the level and intensity of the feedback to the debate over health care reform. One such partisan is Joe McCutchen of Ellijay, Ga., who says if the GOP backs tax increases it will be “the kiss of death” going into the 2012 elections. McCutchen argues that Washington can find the needed money by attacking government waste. “We’ve got to seize this moment,” he said. But Rep. John Lewis, an Atlanta Democrat, said he’s also hearing from constituents, and it’s a completely different message. “They are telling me protect Medicare, protect Social Security, protect those that are less fortunate,” Lewis said. “People are paying very close attention,” said Lewis, calling the issue the talk of a gathering he had attended Saturday night.

for as many “eyewitness testimonies” as he could and found the words soldiers often used about the Civil War were “dramatically different” from what people writing about it 150 years later say. He trusts the soldiers’ words. “I believe the historic evidence defies the notion that ‘Johnny Reb’ was always starved and ragged during the war,” Hatfield says in the preface to his book. Hatfield’s research often centered on finding as much biographical information as he could on the members of the Rowan Rifles and the conflicts they were in as part of the 4th Regiment. He depended on diaries, letters home, newspaper dispatches, supply orders, Census information and more. Muster rolls represent, for example, eyewitness details, Hatfield says. The soldiers had to sign the roll themselves and attest to the information, such as how old they were and where they were from. Over 380 pages, Hatfield provides some new insights into the Rowan Rifles and the campaigns in which they fought — one more contribution to our history, which always seems to be a moving target.

Cpl. Andrew Mowrey and Pvts. George Basinger, Wilburn C. Frayley, James McCanless, William McQueen, Frances M. Mills, George A. Misenheimer and George D. Snuggs. Hatfield says Company K had five other men on detached duties at the time and were not on the grounds for the actual laying down of arms. They included Pvts. Lindsey Bryant, J.L. Bogle, James W. Bean, Alexander M. McQueen and Michael Beaver. Among 115 men present in Company K back in 1861, Hatfield writes, “there was a 6 percent survival rate across the war.” He says the Rowan Rifles’ attrition over the four years came from men killed in action or dead from illness, the wounded and disabled, deserters and those taken as prisoners of the North. The last surviving members of the Rowan Rifles died in 1930. Hatfield, who now lives in Fayetteville, spoke last week to the Rowan Rifles No. 405 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Salisbury. A West Virginia native, Hatfield married a Rowan County girl, Rachel Miller, and lived here from 19922008. The couple have four children. Hatfield started his research in 1998, culminating in his self-published book, “The Rowan Rifle Guards, A History of Company K, 4th Regiment North Carolina State Troops, 1857-1865.” Hatfield says a driving force in his research was an attempt to answer the question, “Who was the Confederate soldier?” He thinks modern-day analysis of the Civil War often strays too far from “original sources,” documents such as muster rolls and first-person narratives. Hatfield says he looked

a position that has backing of 69 percent of Americans, according to a recent Gallup poll. And among those who aren’t wed to an entrenched party view, pragmatism seems to be gaining traction over ideology. A poll from the Pew Research Center found that among independent voters — coveted by both political parties — concern has shifted from fear that raising the debt ceiling would increase government spending to worry about the impact of the failure to raise the debt ceiling, Two months ago, Pew found that independents, by 49 percent to 34 percent margin, were more concerned that raising the debt ceiling would lead to higher government spending, as opposed to chiefly fearing the harmful effects of keeping the ceiling unchanged. This month, independents split evenly on the question. Among some voters, there is suspicion that the talks in Washington are infused with the politics of the 2012 election. Still, some lawmakers say they are hearing the most from their party’s base, those who hold entrenched positions and urge their representatives not to yield. And that could

Tornado rebuilding drags on in Raleigh

Why I oppose raising the debt ceiling A

News & Observer of Raleigh

early three months after a tornado attacked in eastern and southern Raleigh, the rebuilding has continued and unfortunately, in some cases, has stalled. Toward a goal of making things whole, Raleigh officials are both pushing and helping property owners who have been stymied by other misfortune, from illness to the loss of a job and the overwhelming financial hardship that the combination of those factors with a natural disaster can cause. City officials are more aggressive in notifying property owners who haven’t cleaned up debris that they must do so or face fines and the possibility that the city will have to send people in to complete cleanups and then charge residents. Failure to pay the city's bill might result in a lien being placed on someone’s home. While it might be tempting to call the city by a first name of Ebenezer, city officials say they’re not heartless bureaucrats turning a blind eye to the dilemma in which some residents find themselves. They have a point. The city will not begin to fine people if, for example, they can give city inspectors a reasonable time frame in which they promise to clear and clean their property. That seems fair. And even if they don’t find satisfaction from inspectors, those property owners can take their issue to the Raleigh City Council, where members have been fairly generous in granting people more time. The city obviously doesn’t want to have liens on houses or drive citizens from their homes. But it is true that debris lying around a house can be a health and safety hazard. What if children take to playing in areas with loose lumber or structures that have been partially damaged? The concern for clean property, in other words, isn’t simply one of aesthetics. That said, city officials must make it clear to inspectors that the city recognizes the context of the times. Many people, across the economic spectrum, have seen their income diminish or disappear in the Great Recession. And yard cleanup, given that insurance companies may cover only a small portion of costs, can run into hundreds or thousands of dollars that most people don’t have in the bank. The city is doing some creative things: If a property owner has debris left behind by the tornado in streams, Raleigh will clean that up for free. And those who are having trouble paying their expenses for rebuilding can tap into a special loan fund the city established. These are positive steps, and it appears the city is mixing enforcement with compassion in terms of what people need to do within a reasonable time frame following what for some has been a disaster on top of a disaster. Some residents have in addition questioned the slow pace of cleanup in cemeteries such as city-owned Mount Hope, where there remain felled trees and broken headstones. It’s a valid concern and an understandable impatience. If the hang-up is that federal officials haven’t given the necessary approval to do work on historic properties, then someone at that level needs to get it in gear.

Bills could remedy problems created by Obama administration Barack Obama has single-handedly made the case for two bills in Congress: (1) A fiscal plan by Jim Jordan — Cut, Cap and Balance; and (2) the Health Opportunity Patient Empowerment Act by Paul Ryan. Obama (with no plan of his own) has once again threatened the old folks. These two bills remove the power of Obama to control our money. Responsibility and control of individual finances will be returned to us. An argument will be made that we old people cannot manage our money. Again, look at the trillions of dollars in 401k retirement planes. Yes, we can! Paul Ryan’s bill is an 87-page bill, easy to read and understand. It begins a new dialogue about Medicare and Social Security. Health savings accounts are a major component of the bill. Guess what? The kids will have their own “locked box.” As most people know by now, Obamacare has begun immediate removal of $500 billion from Medicare. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sabelius is busy filling in the framework of that bill with regulatory controls. One control is the 15-member advisory board (death panel) rationing payments and care. As the economy and jobs start returning, these new tools will be in place, ready to use. Our kids will have valuable practical experience in government control. This president is a bully. His fear tactics have no place in a country trying to pull out of a major crisis. If he can’t lead, then he and his administration need to be voted out of office. — Irene Dalton Salisbury

Many types of satan in America If we look at terrorists organizations in particular as a type of satan — in other words, as symbolic of satan — we see them going straight for the capital city of democracy to destroy the freedom that built the United States of America. As we continue to see symbolism, we see satan on a rampage to destroy the family, freedom of religion and all that stands for righteousness. Some types of satan include anyone whom we follow, including media celebrities, peers, in fact, anyone whose teachings depart from God’s commandments and counsel. Anyone who believes in and practices the teachings of the Bible will not be led astray by types of satan and will not be deceived. Unfortunately, in the latter days even the “elect” are being deceived. I know that satan is especially interested in destroying the family (father, mother and children). — Pat Ray Salisbury

Fast talkers need to slow down I recently listened to a group of young people giving a speech. The speech was one long sentence without a period or comma.

lmost everyone agrees. The debt ceiling must be raised. Otherwise, our country will default, creditors won’t be paid, and we’ll lose our No. 1 credit rating. Interest rates will soar, and unemployment will skyrocket. The current ceiling expires soon. Like a maxed-out credit card, we need a higher credit limit. So why do some people (like myself) still insist that the debt limit should not be raised? First of all, we won’t default on our loans just because we don’t borrow more. We still bring in around $2 trillion a year in revenue, enough to keep the country going. But things would get rough for a while. Raising taxes or not raising taxes isn’t important for this discussion; the amount of revenue, if any, from higher taxes would only be a few billion dollars. We owe $14 trillion-plus. Let’s start with what has happened in just the past year. We seem to have reached a “tipping point.” Last year, we borrowed $1.5 trillion, give or take. In this same year, we saw ordinary citizens like police officers, teachers and firefighters in several cities striking and protesting, demanding zero cuts in paychecks or benefits (look for this activity to increase in the near future). We’ve seen doctors turning away Medicaid (and soon, Medicare) patients due to lower reimbursement options. Colleges are increasing tuition and slashing grants. So, if you’ve read the latest articles, watched the mainstream TV media or talked to people you know, the solution seems obvious. Borrow more money to get us through this rough time, and quit playing politics with the economy. Don’t let people suffer just because we don’t want to raise the debt limit. When things get better, we can pay down the debt. Oh, really? One scenario being discussed is that we should cut the deficit by $4 trillion over the next 10 years. That cuts almost a half trillion per year from our budget. Democrats think it’s too drastic; and many Republicans would settle for even less before caving in to raise the debt ceiling. Yet even with a $4 trillion budget cut over the next 10 years, we would still add well over $1 trillion each year to our deficit, bringing our debt to more than $25 trillion by the year 2021. This is irresponsible, at best. There is no way the debt ceiling should be raised. If you disagree, try this exercise before you decide. If you have (or know) a child who is around 8 or 10 years old, look them in the eye while you tell them this: “I’m sorry, but we have to spend a lot of money right now. We don’t want to give up any of our services or entitlements, so we simply keep borrowing more money. When you’re grown up, ten years from now, your taxes will be at least double what ours are right now, because the government will have this massive interest payment to make each month. You’ll never be able to pay it off; it’s just too big. Also, there’ll be no money for things like long-term unemployment insurance, since you’ll be paying off what we’re spending now. Medicare and Medicaid might still be around, but they won’t cover much. We’re letting them become insolvent; we’re squeezing out every last cent while we can. Forget about things like inner-city health clinics and other freebies. They’ll be long gone. “There won’t be any federal funds to help you with college either, so hopefully your parents are saving plenty of money now while times are good. They probably aren’t, because times aren’t good, and besides, we’ve quit saving. When you get old enough to have children, classrooms of 60 or 70 kids per teacher will be average.” After you explain this to your child, write down what you have told them. Put it in an envelope, and save it until he or she turns 21. It’ll make a great birthday present. But first, before you seal the envelope, please add the following note to the bottom of the letter: “Would you believe that, way back in 2011, there was a greedy, selfish tea party radical who didn’t want to raise the debt limit that year? Go figure.” • • • Steve Pender lives in Rockwell.

Army treats more brain injuries in the field BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (AP) — The traumatic brain injury that Army Staff Sgt. Isidoro Castillo suffered when a suicide bomber attacked his unit in Afghanistan could have meant the end of his deployment. Instead, Castillo’s doctors handled his injury without sending him back to the United States, part of a military effort to better treat and track brain injuries that have become a signature affliction of the war. Castillo, originally from Fayetteville described the bombing days later while he was recovering in a new specialized housing unit for soldiers being treated for brain injuries. “He was in my peripheral vision. I heard a pop and I hit the ground and the explosion went off,” Castillo said. Five soldiers from his 18-member mentoring team were killed during an April meeting with Afghan soldiers at an outpost in the eastern province of Nangarhar.

New approach The Army has had to rethink the way it deals with traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan and Iraq because U.S. soldiers often are targeted by roadside or suicide bombs. Not treating the sometimes hard-to-spot injury can lead to physical and emotional problems that linger long after the soldier returns home. But sending troops out of country for treatment can leave battle units short-handed. Medical evacuations from combat zones for traumatic brain injury have been growing, from 194 in 2008 to 303 in 2010, according to statistics provided to the Associated Press from the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center. Last year, the military implemented a strict new policy on treating and tracking soldiers with concussions right on the front lines of war. Medical officers in Afghanistan say the new ap-

proach, which required opening seven new rehabilitation centers called Level II clinics throughout Afghanistan, is allowing more soldiers to go back to their units rather than be evacuated for treatment. Soldiers who are sent home for treatment generally don’t come back. Castillo was treated under the new guidelines. After diagnosis in the field, he was sent to the rehabilitation clinic the 101st Airborne Division set up at Bagram Air Field for about a week before returning to his unit. On the hot and dusty military base, Castillo had his own room in a cool, quiet housing unit near the hospital, where he could watch movies on a flat-screen TV, play video games or toss a volleyball around on the sandy court outside. Medical crews use these leisure activities combined with military fitness tests, such as running with body armor or maneuvering around obstacles, to determine whether the soldier is fit to return to duty. The clinics are also stocked with card games and Wii video games, which help occupational therapists look for memory loss or balance issues. Castillo and other soldier patients meet daily with doctors and have dedicated occupational therapists who monitor symptoms like concentration, balance, headaches and dizziness. The care they are receiving in Afghanistan is similar to TBI rehabilitation programs at military hospitals in the U.S. “It makes you feel like the stress is gone,” Castillo said. “You have nothing to think about but how am I going to get better, what’s my next appointment. They just let you breathe.” Clinics that opened last year in eastern Afghanistan returned about 1,000 soldiers to their units, said Maj. Kevin Ridderhoff, the pharmacist for the 101st Airborne Divi-

worked at the mTBI center at Forward Operating Base Fenty in Jalalabad, said they are not pushing injured soldiers back into the fight if they aren’t ready. “It’s not so much that we are trying to force them back out there. It’s that we are providing a really good environment of care to allow them to heal,” she said.

Matthew Wright, from left, talk about their injuries while recovering a traumatic brain injury center at Bagram air Field in afghanistan. sion who oversaw the program during the division’s deployment. Ridderhoff said about 97 percent of soldiers who were referred to a Level II clinic were returned to duty after an average three-day stay. “A big thing is eight hours of uninterrupted rest. Sleep is the goal,” Ridderhoff explained. “With concussion, most of these guys get better. That’s a good thing.”

Measuring progress One of the final assessments is a military performance test. The soldiers don their body armor, go on a road march or a run, maneuver around obstacles, jump in and out of vehicles — all normal activities for active duty. If a soldier is able to complete them without problems or recurring symptoms, the occupational therapist can recommend a return to their unit. The 101st Airborne Division, which sent 24,000 soldiers to Afghanistan over the past year, has been at the forefront of the new care regimen for what’s called mild traumatic brain injury, often called concussion. It trained all unit medics on symptoms and brought the occupational therapists to Fort Campbell for additional training before

opening the Afghanistan clinics. The policy says soldiers are to be given at least 24 hours rest after the first concussion, seven days of rest after the second concussion and an in-depth neurological exam after the third. The policy also directs medics to check for signs of a concussion after key events, such as if a soldier is near a blast, is in a vehicle rollover accident or has a direct blow to the head. The soldiers recovering at Bagram are separated from their units, but they could still bond with other injured troops over their near-death experiences. Photos get passed around of a pile of charred, twisted metal — all that’s left of the armored vehicle that Pfc. Kyle Kinmartin was in when it rolled over a pressure plate armed with homemade explosives. Kinmartin said he was still having trouble sleeping because he kept thinking about the explosion and fire that could have killed him or his buddies. “I don’t feel like I got blown up, but my body feels it,” he said. “I just want to get back and see the guys.” Capt. Barbara Drawbaugh, an occupational therapist who

Soldiers are at risk of more severe and enduring symptoms if they are not allowed to heal after a concussion and suffer a second one too quickly, Drawbaugh said. But not all soldiers return to their units after a brain injury if more specialized care is needed. Spc. Matthew Wright, a military policeman, spent weeks at Bagram and watched other soldiers get better and return to their units, but his symptoms weren’t improving. Wright had stepped on a hastily planted bomb and got the brunt of the force of the explosion, but the shrapnel went into the ground instead of his body. Eventually he was medically evacuated back to Fort Knox, Ky., to get further treatment in a Warrior Transition Unit. He hopes he can return to his job soon. “It’s nice to see they are taking this brain thing seriously,” he said. Feeling a sense of obligation to the mission, Castillo returned to the base where his unit was attacked. He still deals with symptoms, like headaches and feelings of anger. But the 40-year-old non-commissioned officer who has had three previous deployments said he’s learned not to ignore the real consequences of a concussion. “Don’t fake the funk. If you’re not real and let it out, then you’re not going to heal properly and it will cost you in the future,” Castillo said.

US backs tough Greek austerity measures ATHENS, Greece (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton voiced strong American support Sunday for financially troubled Greece’s economic recovery plans and urged the nation to forge ahead with painful reforms that have sparked unrest. During and after meetings with senior Greek officials, Clinton underscored Washington’s backing for their deficit and debt reduction programs that have hit the country hard, even as the Obama administration grapples with a similar issue at home. She acknowledged the reforms were “strong medicine” that are difficult to swallow, but said the United States had complete confidence in them. “America is just as committed to Greece’s future as we are to preserving your past,” Clinton said before signing an agreement at the Acropolis Museum that will protect Greek cultural objects from being looted or illegally sold on the international market. “During these difficult economic times, we will stand with you.” Standing before a bank of large windows looking up at the Acropolis, she said: “We are confident that the nation that built the Parthenon, invented democracy and inspired the world can rise to the current challenge.” Earlier, at a news conference with Greek Foreign Minister Stavros Lambrinidis, Clinton said the U.S. and Greece “have a lot riding on our relationship together.” Lambrinidis thanked her for U.S. support. “Friends prove themselves in difficult times and, as we know, Greece is going through a difficult time,” he said. “The U.S. has stood by us in a decisive manner.”

End of shuttle program thins ranks of astronauts CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s mighty astronaut corps has become a shadow of what it once was. And it’s only going to get smaller. It’s down to 60 from an alltime high of 149 just a decade ago, with more departures coming once Atlantis returns this week from the very last space shuttle voyage. With no replacement on the horizon for the shuttle, astronauts are bailing fast, even though the International Space Station will need crews for at least another decade. The commander of Discovery’s last flight back in March, Steven Lindsey? Gone to a company whose proposed commercial spacecraft resembles a mini-shuttle; his last day at NASA was Friday. The skipper of Endeavour’s last mission in May, Mark Kelly? Retiring in another few months to write a memoir with his wounded congresswoman wife, Gabrielle Giffords. The captain of Atlantis, Christopher Ferguson, assured The Associated Press from orbit late last week that he’ll be sticking around after this final shuttle journey of them all. At least one of his crew, though, isn’t so sure. After spending her childhood wanting to be an astronaut — and achieving that goal in 1996 — Atlantis astronaut Sandra Magnus now has to figure out what the next chapter holds. “Now that I’m an astronaut, the whole idea of what I want to do when I grow up comes back full circle,” said Magnus, a scientist and former space station resident who’s flown in space three times. What a difference a decade makes. NASA’s fabled astronaut corps numbered 149 in 20002001, the biggest group ever. Then shuttles were zooming back and forth building the space station, and a crew was being groomed to fly aboard Columbia to the Hubble Space

Telescope. Now the space station is finished, Columbia is gone and the 30-year shuttle program is ending. These days, chief astronaut Peggy Whitson finds herself on overdrive, working hard to keep up the morale at Houston’s Johnson Space Center, astronaut headquarters, while trying to convince outsiders that America still needs a robust astronaut corps in the shuttle-less era. After all, she’s got a space station to staff. Two Americans usually are among the six people living on the orbiting lab at any given time, hitching rides up and down on Russian Soyuz capsules. Private U.S. companies hope to take over this taxi job in three to five years, freeing NASA up to explore true outer space. First the goal was the moon, now it’s an asteroid and Mars. “It’s a very dynamic time, and a lot of folks aren’t real comfortable with all the uncertainties,” Whitson said. “None of us are.” Ferguson observed from space Friday that former military pilots make up about one-third of the astronaut corps, so he’s not surprised so many commander types are departing. “Pilots like to do what pilots like to do, and that’s fly airplanes,” the retired Navy captain told the AP. Whitson — herself a twotime space station resident — figures she needs 55 to 60 active astronauts “at a bare minimum and for pretty much the duration.” She said she has to account for absences due to injury, illness, pregnancy, even maxed-out exposure to cosmic radiation. The National Research Council is evaluating just how many astronauts America really needs. A report by a committee of retired NASA leaders, ex-astronauts and others is expected next month. Depending on the findings, NASA may start taking appli-

cations soon for a new, albeit small, astronaut class. No matter the size, there will be plenty of applicants, all eager to join this exclusive club. Only 330 Americans have been chosen by NASA to become astronauts, beginning with the seven original Mercury astronauts in 1959. The number of applicants over the decades: nearly 45,000. More than 3,500 applied for the nine slots in the 2009 astronaut class, the most recent, even though the shuttle’s fate was clear. Those selected were in their 30s and 40s. The same thing happened after the Challenger and Columbia disasters in 1986 and 2003, said Duane Ross, NASA’s manager of astronaut candidate selection. He theorizes that the more NASA is in the news, the more the attention and, consequently, applicants. Ross said he told the 2009 hopefuls up front: “You guys are not going to be flying the shuttle period, you guys are space station astronauts.” Translation: as much as five years of training, Russian language immersion, halfyear space stays. No more sprinting back and forth to orbit for a week or two. Plenty of desk duty, too, in between flights, assisting from Houston with future exploration projects and other matters. NASA’s first shuttle pilot, Robert Crippen, waited out the lengthy gap between Apollo and the space shuttle. Nearly 12 years passed from the time he became an astronaut in 1969 until his first spaceflight on Columbia in 1981 alongside moonwalker John Young. “I figured, well, it’s the best thing in town as far as I’m concerned, so I went in knowing it was going to be at least a decade before I had an opportunity to fly,” said Crippen, now 73. “I believe there will be people who still would want to stick around and do that.”

Ousted Murdoch deputy Rebekah Brooks arrested in phone hacking

Murdoch’s many enemies revel in twists and turns SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — To his many enemies, Rupert Murdoch is getting his comeuppance. Murdoch’s tabloid newspapers long have reveled in the misdeeds of others with salacious photos and punpacked headlines. Now, one of the world’s most powerful media executives is learning what it’s like to be enveloped in his own scandal. “There is a feeling that Murdoch has been king of the world for too long and it’s about time that somebody brought him back to Earth,” says Mungo MacCallum, a political journalist and commentator who once worked for a Murdoch-owned newspaper, The Australian. But no one is calling press conferences to gloat about Murdoch’s troubles. Even his bitterest media rivals are keeping quiet. Liberty Media chief John Malone, who engaged in media-mogul head butting with Murdoch over his stake in Murdoch’s News Corp and other issues, did not return a message seeking comment that was left with a spokeswoman.

Casey Anthony faces hurdles in building new life after release ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — This is what freedom looks like for Casey Anthony: $537.68 from her jail account, no job, estranged parents, a criminal record, lawsuits pending against her and the scorn of multitudes who think she got away with murder. She quickly gave reporters the slip after walking out of jail Sunday, but whatever life she manages to build for herself will be lived under a media microscope and the shadow of countless threats. Experts who have helped other notorious defendants through rough times say she will have opportunities as well, but it won’t be easy for the 25-year-old, who was found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, but convicted of lying to investigators. With her hair in a bun, Casey Anthony walked out the front door of an Orlandoarea jail shortly after midnight, wearing a pink T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers, and

‘Harry Potter’ takes down ‘Dark Knight’ with record $168.6M LOS ANGELES (AP) — The boy wizard has vanquished the dark knight and a band of pirates with a record-setting magic act at both the domestic and international box office. Warner Bros. estimates that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” took in $168.6 million domestically from Friday to Sunday. That beats the previous best opening weekend of $158.4 million, also held by Warner Bros. for 2008’s Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight.” Overseas, the film added $307 million in 59 countries since it began rolling out Wednesday, topping the previous best international debut of $260.4 million set in May by Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” International results for “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” included record openings in Great Britain at $36.6 million and Australia at $26.7 million, according to Warner Bros. Worldwide, “Deathly Hallows: Part 2” topped $475 million in a matter of days, putting it on course to become the franchise’s first billiondollar worldwide hit.

GOP field would gain another conservative if Gov. Perry runs AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Should Rick Perry conclude that voter discontent has left him an opening to enter the presidential race, the longtime Texas governor would be among the GOP field’s most conservative candidates. Primary voters would get a skilled politician with TV anchorman looks, a Southern preacher’s oratory and a cowboy’s swagger, matched by a disarming candor and sense of humor. The former cotton farmer from the village of Paint Creek in West Texas has never lost an election in nearly three decades as a politician. What they wouldn’t get is a candidate whose politics are positioned to unite a Republican electorate that stretches from moderate pro-business fiscal conservatives to evangelical social conservatives, with the tea party falling somewhere along the spectrum. “Texans, God love them, have that bigger-than-life persona about politics and that doesn’t necessarily play everywhere,” said Christopher Nicholas, a Republican political consultant who has worked extensively in the Northeast and Midwest. “I haven’t heard a lot of Republicans call Social Security a disease.” Perry has. He branded Social Security and other New Deal programs “the second big step in the march of socialism,” according to a book published last year. The “first step” was a national income tax, which he has said stands alongside the direct election of U.S. senators as a major mistake among the amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Chavez keeps tight control on details about ailing health CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — In his monthlong fight against cancer, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has placed utmost importance on

secrecy, carefully offering only scraps of information about his condition. Now, as he begins planned chemotherapy in Cuba, Chavez appears to have found the perfect place where he can tightly guard details of his illness and keep the prying eyes of the news media far away. The Venezuelan leader first underwent surgery in the island nation on June 20 to remove a cancerous tumor from his pelvic region. He returned Saturday night, saying he would be starting a “second phase of treatment.” Typical of the cone of silence Chavez has lowered over his health problems, he hasn’t said how long the chemotherapy is likely to last, and there was no immediate confirmation from either Cuba or Venezuela that the treatments had in fact begun. Chavez, 56, had said he would begin the treatments in Havana on Sunday to ensure cancer cells don’t reappear. He has also said he has been open about the details of his medical condition.

Stretch of L.A. freeway closed since Friday reopens LOS ANGELES (AP) — The event that many feared would be the “Carmageddon” of epic traffic jams cruised calmly to a finish Sunday, with bridge work on the Los Angeles roadway completed nearly a full day ahead of schedule and officials reopening a 10-mile stretch of the busy freeway. Drivers honked their horns and waved from car windows as traffic started moving in all 10 lanes of Interstate 405 just after noon for the first time since being shut down at midnight Friday. There were no major problems since the freeway was closed, despite warnings. The mayor praised contractors for working so quickly and thanked city residents for heeding calls to stay off the roads. He also gave credit to news outlets for spreading word about the closure, which had been planned to last for 53 hours. “We couldn’t have done this without the cooperation of this city,” Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said. Crews finished demolition work on the bridge at about 7 a.m., toppling two massive pillars. About 4,000 tons of concrete rubble was expected to be removed over the course of the job.

Girl, 11, missing after thrown from boat ST. BERNARD, La. (AP) — Authorities searched for a second day Sunday for an 11year-old girl who was thrown from a boat following a collision with another boat in southeastern Louisiana. The accident happened about 5:30 p.m. Saturday in Shell Beach Bayou in St. Bernard Parish. The Coast Guard said she was not wearing a life jacket. Sheriff’s deputies and state wildlife agents are also looking for the girl, whose name has not been made public. St. Bernard Parish Chief Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Pohlmann told WWL-TV that two fishing vessels collided nearly head-on in the Shell Beach Canal, near Lake Borgne. One boat that was carrying four young girls ran

aground. Pohlmann said that all of the girls were ejected from the boat into water about 15 feet deep. A third boat rescued three of the girls, and crews were looking for the other. The operator of the boat wasn’t thrown from the boat, but he was hospitalized in serious condition. The boat operator is believed to be related to the girls, said Pohlmann. Two men in the other boat were not injured, authorities said. Weather conditions are not believed to have been a factor and the cause of the crash is under investigation, Pohlmann said.

Texas A&M experts predict Gulf ‘dead zone’ growth COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M oceanographers say they expect the 3,800-square-mile “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico to expand because of floodwaters flowing from the Mississippi River. The zone is now the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. It’s where the Gulf waters off the southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi coasts contain low oxygen levels, often leading to dieoffs of marine life. AUM oceanography professor Steve DiMarco tells The Eagle of Bryan and College Station that the biggest areas of low oxygen content

LONDON (AP) — An intensifying voicemail hacking and police bribery scandal cut closer than ever to Rupert Murdoch and Scotland Yard on Sunday with the arrest of the media magnate’s former British newspaper chief and the resignation of London’s police commissioner. Though the former executive, Rebekah Brooks, and the police chief, Paul Stephenson, have denied wrongdoing, both developments are ominous not only for Murdoch’s News Corp., but for a British power structure that nurtured a cozy relationship with his papers for years. Brooks, the ultimate social and political insider, dined at Christmas with Prime Minister David Cameron. His Conservative-led government is now facing increasing questions about its relationship with Murdoch’s media empire. The arrest of the 43-yearold Brooks, often described as a surrogate daughter to the 80-year-old Murdoch, brought the British police investigations into the media baron’s inner circle for the first time. It raises the possibility that Murdoch’s old friend Les Hinton, who resigned Friday as publisher of The Wall Street Journal, or his 38-year-old son and heir apparent, James, could be next. Until her resignation Friday, Brooks was the defiant chief executive of News International, Murdoch’s British newspaper arm, whose News of the World tabloid stands accused of hacking into the phones of celebrities, politicians, other journalists and even murder victims. In the tumultuous last two weeks, she had kept her job even as Murdoch shut down the 168-year-old News of the World and tossed 200 other journalists out of work.

Rowan battered by High Point BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com

THOMASVILLE — Rowan County will take many High Point 11 fans and 23 wins Rowan 4 to Morehead City this weekend for the state tournament––– but High Point will be taking the momentum. The Hi-Toms of Post 87 finished off a two-game sweep of Rowan by an 11-4 score at beautiful Finch Field on Sunday night. Rowan will still be able to vie for the state crown, but will enter the

tourney as Area III runner-up, instead of champion. “You have to give credit to them, they played better than us, as we really couldn’t do too much tonight,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “We got ourselves into a lot of 0-2 holes and 1-2 holes at the plate, and, of course, it makes it harder for anybody to hit from behind in the count.” A main reason Rowan hitters were behind in the count was due to High Point hurler Justin Morrison spotting breaking balls on the outside corner, which was being given all night by home plate umpire Scott Williams.

THOMAS

SIMPSON

Morrison’s counterpart, Zack Simpson, had no such luck. Simpson was battered by the bats of the Hi-Toms, to the tune of nine runs on eight hits over four innings,

including three two-run blasts. “Zack’s main problem tonight wasn’t necessarily that he pitched bad, I don’t think that he did all that bad, but he got behind in counts and they are a good hitting team,” Gantt said. The Hi-Toms’ homers came from the bats of DeSean Anderson, Victor Zecca and Jonathan Bethea. Anderson, who was a member of the national champion South Carolina Gamecocks this past spring, riled up Rowan fans by stomping on the plate to score a run and making a shushing gesture towards them. Rowan seemed like it wanted to

start the home run derby as Luke Thomas crushed his sixth of the year in the bottom of the first with a man on, giving Rowan an early 2-0 lead, but Morrison was able to cut off the power. Obviously dejected and disappointed in being the Area III runnerup, Rowan players and coaches all would still rather drop games now than this coming weekend. “We are a real competitive team and, of course, we want to win every time we take the field,” Thomas said.

Clarke wins British After 20 tries, he finally takes title BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

SANDWICH, England — No matter how long it grows or even how quickly, the list of major champions from the tiny country of Northern Ireland just wouldn’t feel complete without Darren Clarke. H e doesn’t have the majestic swing of Rory McIlroy or the putting prowess of Graeme CLARKE McDowell, the last two U.S. Open champions. He hasn’t contended in a major for the last 10 years, wasn’t even eligible for the last three majors and was no longer among the top 100 in the world. No matter. Clarke’s three-shot victory in the British Open was met with unending applause Sunday, the loudest saved for the closing ceremony when he was introduced as the champion golfer of the year. More than that, Clarke is a man of the people. “I’m a bit of a normal bloke, aren’t I?” Clarke said, the claret jug at his side. “I like to go to the pub and have a pint, fly home, buy everybody a drink, just normal. There’s not many airs and graces about me. I was a little bit more difficult to deal with in my earlier years, and I’ve mellowed some. Just a little bit. But I’m just a normal guy playing golf, having a bit of fun.” He was extraordinary at Royal St. George’s.

Defending his turf Eidson beats Benfield to repeat as champ BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Ronnie Eidson said he didn’t feel well on Friday. He said he didn’t feel well on Saturday. But on Sunday, he felt like a champion. The 57-year-old defeated two of the county’s young guns yesterday at Corbin Hills to win the 33rd annual Horace Billings Rowan Amateur title, defending his crown. In the morning semifinal match, he edged Keith Dorsett 3 & 2 and then

beat upstart Shane Benfield by the same score in the afternoon title match. It left him a bit surprised, considering health concerns with his heart and diabetes. “In all honesty,” Eidson drawled, “I didn’t think I had a chance. I didn’t think I’d be able to finish. But the weather worked out great for me. I hurt very little all day. I was very comfortable.” Benfield, who defeated Mallory McDaniel 3 & 2 in his semifinal, was certainly impressed. It was the first time the two had played against each

other in a tournament format. “Ronnie’s a great guy,” Benfield said. “He played solid all day.” Eidson got off to a hot start with birdies on holes 2, 4 and 6, taking a quick lead. “Actually, I think I putted the ball a little bit better,” he said. “You’re going to leave some shots short but I kept it pretty much on line. I hit my driver real well and kept it in play. I like this course because it’s got so much (out of bounds). You’ve got to hit the

Newman nips Stewart BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press

LOUDON, N.H. — Ryan Newman had his boss on his back and felt pressure to deliver a top performance. Might make an office drone squirm in a cubical. Not on the track, where there was no other driver Newman would rather see behind him than Tony Stewart. The owner-employee dynamic was simply teammate-teammate for 301 laps at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Newman held off Stewart, his boss and teammate, to win his first race of the season Sunday and make it a 1-2 start and finish for Stewart-Haas Racing.

“This is huge for our team, even bigger for our organization,” Newman said. Newman and Stewart made it the first front-row start for SHR in qualifying Friday and they followed up with first- and secondplace finishes for the first time on race day. It was a banner weekend for SHR, and Newman and Stewart have jostled themselves in position to qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Even the usually gruff Stewart, his dark humor still on display, enjoyed this celebration. “This was a perfect weekend,” he said. It was needed, too.

ryan Newman celebrates after his win at New Hampshire.

FRANKFURT, Germany — Japan became Japan 2 the first Asian U.S. 2 nation to win the Women’s World Cup on Sunday, beating the United States in a penalty shootout after both sides were level at 2-2 after extra time. The Japanese denied the U.S. team the chance to become the first country to lift the cup three times. The Americans missed their first three penalties, and Japan went on to win the shootout 3-1 when Saki Kumagai slotted the final shot high past goalkeeper Hope

Solo. Japan was always driven by a greater purpose, hoping its success at the World Cup could provide some emotional relief for a nation still reeling from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. It paid off. The team displayed a banner reading “To our Friends Around the World — Thank You for Your Support” before the final, and coach Norio Sasaki inspired his players before the quarterfinal win over favorite Germany by showing them pictures of the devastation. On Sunday, the players were even more pumped us as the match

driver straight.” Benfield knew he had his work cut out for him after Eidson’s early success. “Just hang in there and grind it out,” Benfield said when asked how he felt watching Eidson make birdie after birdie. Eidson also birdied 11 and 13 and it was over on the 16th with him leading by three with two holes left. “I’m lucky he didn’t beat me

BRITISH FROM 1B A cigarette curled under his fingers as he barreled down the fairways, Clarke held off brief challenges from Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson and held up under the pressure until no one could catch him. Mickelson, who needed only seven holes to made up a five-shot deficit, stepped aside by missing too many short putts. Johnson, in the final group of a major for the third time in the last six, made another blunder with a major at stake. This time, he was two shots behind on the par-5 14th, tried to lay up with a 2-iron and hit it out-of-bounds to make double bogey. They shared second place, stretching the American drought to six straight majors without winning. Despite meaningless bogeys on the last two holes, Clarke closed with an even-par 70. “Pretty amazing right now,” Clarke said. “It’s been a dream since

worse than that,” Benfield said. “My hat’s off to him.” Benfield did play well against McDaniel. “I felt good,” he said. “I just tried to stick to my game plan and keep the ball in play. Mallory played solid.” Benfield said he is lucky to play twice a month due to work and his family, so he was elated with his weekend. “I’m totally blown away by it,” he said of his berth in the title match. “Considering the amount I get to play, I did great. I’m not disappointed one bit.” • Despite his birdie binge in

I’ve been a kid to win the Open, like any kid’s dream is, and I’m able to do it, which just feels incredible.” The weather was so wild that heavy rain switched over to sunshine, back and forth all afternoon, in a relentless wind. Clarke was steady through it all, never allowing himself to think about what it mean to hold the claret jug until he stepped onto the 18th green. Clarke removed his visor to salute the gallery. His hair is almost all gray now, the result of a 42-year-old who has gone through more hard times than he cares to remember, the worst of it losing his wife to cancer five years ago. “Bad times in golf are more frequent than the good times,” he said. “I’ve always been pretty hard on myself when I fail because I don’t find it very easy to accept that. And there’s times I’ve been completely and utterly fed up with the game.” The advice from friends, family and agent Chubby Chandler were always the same. “Get out there and practice and keep going, keep going, keep going,”

Rowan Amateur champion Ronnie eidson said the key to his victory was putting.

the championship match, Eidson said his best match came in the semifinals, where he met Dorsett, the reigning Rowan Masters champ. Eidson knew it was going to be a fight when he was five-under at the turn but was only up one shot. “That was a great match,” Eidson said. Again, a quick start was the difference. “I made one bogey on No. 2 but other than that, we were matching birdies and eagles with each other,” Dorsett said. “He made a couple of birdies on me early but after

Clarke said. “And that’s why I’m sitting here now.” With a one-shot lead over Johnson going into the final round, there was a sense that Clarke wouldn’t be able to hold up. But he holed a 12-foot par putt on the first, a downhill 8-footer for par on the third. A 20-foot eagle putt on the seventh, not long after Mickelson made eagle to tie him, gave Clarke the lead for good. Northern Ireland had gone 63 years — since Fred Daly in the 1947 British Open — without winning a major. Now it has three of the last six. “Northern Ireland...... Golf capital of the world!!” McIlroy tweeted as Clarke played the last hole. “We’re blessed to have two fantastic players in Rory and GMac, and I’ve just come along, the only guy coming along behind them,” Clarke said. “We have fantastic golf courses, we have fantastic facilities, but to have three major champions from a little, small place in a short period of time, it’s just incredible.” They are so close that a week after McIlroy won the U.S. Open,

that, we pretty much tied every hole.” While Eidson seemed a bit surprised by his championship, Dorsett was not. “I guess he just digs down way deep and finds enough energy to finish out a golf tournament,” Dorsett said. “He’s been doing it for the last three or four years.” Now, it’s on to the third leg of the Rowan County triple crown, the Labor Day tournament at the Country Club of Salisbury. The defending champ is the team of Curtis wayne hinshaw/sALisBURY pOst Kyles and — you guessed it — Runnerup: shane Benfield. Eidson.

phil Mickelson made a run. Clarke pulled out of a tournament in Germany so he could return to Northern Ireland and join the celebration. Maybe McIlroy, who shot a 73 and complained the weather didn’t suit him at the British Open, can return the favor. “He missed Munich for mine, so I don’t think I’ll miss a tournament for his, but I’ll definitely be there,” McIlroy said. “And I’ll definitely be one of the last ones to go to bed.”

sergio Garcia is playing well.

The British Open notebook ... And to think that six weeks ago, Sergio Garcia wasn’t even eligible for the U.S. Open or British Open. The 31-year-old Spaniard changed his mind and entered the 36-hole U.S. Open qualifier, not only getting into the field at Congressional but finishing in a tie for seventh. Then he got into the British Open at the last minute, when he lost a playoff in the BMW International Open in Germany. His earnings in Germany, along with what he won in the U.S. Open, was enough to finish among the top two on a special money list for players not already exempt. He put that to good use Sunday, closing with a 68 to finish among the top 10.

That should be enough to make him eligible for his first World Golf Championship of the year next month at Firestone. It’s safe to say his fortunes are changing. “It’s great,” Garcia said. “I think the U.S. Open and Munich were very, very important because that was my last chance to get here. I’ve said it over and over again, this is my favorite championship of the year.” • APPRECIATIVE: Phil Mickelson had to settle for his seventh runner-up finish in a major, although there was some consolation in seeing Darren Clarke on his way to his first major championship. Clarke's wife, Heather, died of breast cancer in August 2006, just a month before the Ryder Cup in Ireland. Nearly three years later,

Mickelson's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. "He was one of the first people that called us, Amy and I, a couple years ago," Mickelson said. "He's been through this and couldn't have been a better person to talk to. We talked for a few hours a couple of times. He's a tremendous person and a very good friend, and I couldn't be happier for him. It was fun to try to make a run at him." • LONG TIME COMING: Clark went 54 starts in the majors — and 20 in the British Open — before finally winning one. That wasn’t the longest stretch of futility, though. Tom Kite holds the record by playing in 72 majors before winning his first one in 1992 at the U.S. Open.

The golf roundup ... MADISON, Miss. — Chris Kirk won his first PGA Tour event with a onestroke victory in the Viking Classic, shooting a 4-under 68 to beat Tom Pernice Jr. and George McNeill by one stroke. The 26-year-old rookie tied the tournament record with a 22-under performance over four rounds, taking advantage of Annandale Golf Club's soft greens and fairway. He broke a tie with McNeill on No. 17, hitting a 140-yard approach over water to within five feet of the hole for an easy birdie putt. The 51-year-old Pernice fell just short in his attempt to become the second-oldest winner in tour history, missing a birdie putt on No. 18. Kirk is the fifth rookie to win this season — only the second time that's happened since 1970. TAHOE CELEBS STATELINE, Nev. — Former NHL All-Star Joe Sakic picked a good spot for his first career hole-in-one — a $1 million two-hopper into the cup on the waterfront par-3 17th at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship at Lake Tahoe on Sunday. Actor Jack Wagner earned his second title, holding off a late-charging Tony Romo with a 10-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole.

Bengals’ Benson arrested

SOCCER FROM 1B

Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas — NFL running back Cedric Benson is free on bond after his arrest in Austin on an assault count. The former Texas Longhorns star was arrested early Sunday on a misdemeanor count of assault with bodily injury with family violence. • NEW YORK — Talks to end the NFL lockout will resume with the court-appointed mediator in New York on today and could continue through Thursday. The mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, originally had ordered representatives of the league's owners and players to meet with him Tuesday in Minneapolis.

METS NEW YORK — Mets shortstop Jose Reyes is going to make a rehabilitation start for Class-A Brooklyn today before he is activated from the disabled list, possibly a day later. Reyes tested his strained left hamstring by running the bases Sunday before New York lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5. Manager Terry Collins announced the decision after the game. With general manager Sandy Alderson and Reyes' agent, Peter Greenberg, looking on, the All-Star ran from home to first, first to third, second to home and home to second. Leading the majors with a .354 batting average, Reyes has been out since July 3 and is eligible to come off the disabled list Monday, but the Mets want him to test his leg in a game. Collins apparently wanted Reyes to skip the rehab game but was overruled.

NHL RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes have reached deals with forward Chris Durno, left wing Brett Sutter and defenseman Bobby Sanguinetti for one-year contracts.

A large crowd watches Ryan Newman win sunday’s race.

RACE FROM 1B Newman won for the first time since April 2010 in Phoenix and Stewart earned only his second top-five of the season. It was a pair of near-flawless runs for the drivers as they gear up for a championship run. Stewart joked that he asked for just one day where something didn’t go wrong with the race teams. They got it on a day when only four of the top-10 drivers in the points standings had a top-10 finish. “It’s no secret we’ve been struggling this year,” Stewart said. “But it really shows me the depth of the people we got in our organization. It’s been one of the weirdest years as far as weird things and bad luck happening to both of us.” Newman became the 13th different winner in Sprint Cup this year, matching the total from last season after only 19 of 36 races. Only seven races remain until the Chase field is set. The top-10 drivers automatically earn a spot. Two spots in the Chase will go to the winningest drivers ranked between 11 and 20. Stewart is peeking outside the contenders in 11th place. Newman is in eighth. “It puts us in a lot better position that’s for sure,” Newman said. Newman was at home in New Hampshire’s Victory Lane. He also won the Modified Tour race Saturday. He choked up after taking the checkered flag as he dedicated the victory to the military and a close friend who died of cancer. There was a catch in his voice as he talked about the friend who died in April. Newman wears a bracelet in his honor. Newman drives the No. 39 Chevrolet for the U.S. Army and there was a healthy military presence in Victory Lane and at his news conference. He carried the burden of trying to win for so many supporters, especially Stew-

art. But ease up because his boss was on his bumper? Never. “He was the one I didn’t mind seeing in my mirror,” Newman said. He also saw the rest of the field. Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano and five-time champion Jimmie Johnson rounded out the top five. Hamlin nipped at Newman late and made a serious push until fuel concerns forced him to ease off. “As bad as I wanted to go up there and race those guys, I had to make the smart move and finish the race,” he said. Johnson and Jeff Gordon, who finished 11th, both rallied from major setbacks for strong finishes. Kyle Busch, who started the race as the points leader, had tire issues, was forced to the garage and finished 36th. Carl Edwards finished 13th and retook the points lead. With some of the top drivers scuffling, Newman and Stewart stayed out front down the stretch. Newman led 119 of the 301 laps, won his 15th career Cup race and third at New Hampshire. Newman’s major concern was stretching his fuel tank over the long, sweeping corners to the end. Crew chief Tony Gibson warned him several times he was running low and to conserve gas. “I didn’t think he was going to make it,” Gibson said. Stewart shared those concerns. “I don’t mind running second and having him win the race, versus us winning the race and him running out of fuel,” Stewart said. “This is a much more gratifying weekend for me.” More gratifying, yes. Perhaps just as puzzling, though, as why the duo have failed to find the winning combination before this weekend. Whatever they hit on worked and the off weekend before the Brickyard 400 should be a fun one. “We need to sit down and figure out why this weekend was so great,” Newman said. They need more great ones ahead if they want to race for the title in September.

approached its climax. In a thrilling finale, 32year-old Japan captain Homare Sawa flicked a corner through a jumble of players and past Solo with three minutes of extra time left to equalize and set up the shootout. “We ran and ran.We were exhausted but we kept running,” said Sawa, the top scorer in the tournament with five goals. Japan had already scored late in regulation to force extra time, and the shootout success gave Japan its first victory over the United States in 26 games. “Not one of the players gave up,” coach Norio Sasaki said. “The penalty kicks are always a 50-50 chance.” Japan goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori did more than her part, saving the first penalty from Shannon Boxx with her foot and swatting the third kick from substitute Tobin Heath away with her gloves. In between, Carli Lloyd skied her shot over the bar. For a nation which prides itself on teamwork, Kaihori didn’t need the support of her teammates in the shootout. Instead, she received it from the opposition. The Americans missed and that was support from the Americans,” Kaihori said. U.S coach Pia Sundhage was perplexed and couldn’t find an explanation for the penalty misses. “Sometimes in, sometimes out,” she said. Sawa received the cup and immediately went into a huddle with her players, a multitude of hands cradling the trophy, as tightly knitted together at the end of the three-week tourna-

ment as they were at its start. “Our defense was very focused and organized. It was very much like the match against Germany,” Sasaki said, referring to the teams’ win over the hosts and twotime defending champions in the biggest upset of the tournament. After Japan came back in the game late in regulation time, the Americans kept hustling and pressuring and it finally paid off when Alex Morgan sent a pinpoint cross to the towering Wambach in the 104th minute. The forward didn’t even have to lift a foot to send her header past goalkeeper Ayumi Kaihori from six yards. The goal gave Wambach four for the tournament, and it looked good enough for the title. Still it left the Americans with bitter disappointment. “It’s obviously heartbreaking,” Wambach said. After dominating play from the start, the Americans went ahead in the 69th minute when Megan Rapinoe sent a 35-meter pass to Morgan, and the substitute hustled past Saki Kumagai to slot home with angled shot from 15 meters. After seeing one shot hit the post and another the crossbar, the U.S. finally managed what it had been working for against a strangely lackluster Japanese team. Against the run of play, Japan scored a goal out of nothing in the 81st minute when American defenders Rachel Buehler and Alex Krieger failed to clear a ball, allowing star Japan player Aya Miyama to sneak in and slot home from close range past Solo. That set up for a wild finish with both sides seeking the winner in regulation time. Japan suddenly found its passing game, threatening whenever the Americans lost the ball.

will open the tournament with morning baseball. Rowan will hope to avoid a hangover from this series over FROM 1B the weekend, but it may end “But if we have to lose, we up seeing High Point again. would rather it be now than in Morehead City.” As for the home run, Thomas, who has been hitting High Point 11, Rowan 4 better and better as the sea- ROWAN HIGH POINT r h bi ab r h bi son has gone on, said he was Sapp cf ab 4 0 2 1 Ison lf 4 1 1 0 sitting on an off-speed pitch Morris ss 4 0 0 0 Whtd ss 4 1 1 2 Austin 1b 2 1 0 1 Adrsn cf 3 2 1 2 and got a hanging changeup Thmas dh 4 1 1 2 Frrnte c 5 2 3 1 Flbrght c 3 0 1 0 Bthea dh 4 1 2 2 from Morrison.

Gait abnormality puzzles loved one Dear Dr. Gott: My 75-yearold grandpa has been having a great deal of difficulty walking for about a month. When he went to his doctor to find what was causing the problem, his doctor ordered an MRI of the brain, indicating ataxia as a diagnosis. I can’t understand DR. PETER what an MRI GOTT of the brain has to do with difficulties walking, and I sure don’t know what ataxia is. Can you fill in the blanks? Dear Reader: This peculiar sounding word implies a lack of coordination that occurs with voluntary movements such as walking. Speech, eye movement and swallowing can also be affected. A person might have difficulty speaking, stumble and fall for no apparent reason, or have difficulty eating. Ataxia can develop rather slowly over an extended period of time or can suddenly appear, causing people such as you and your family great concern. Incessant ataxia commonly results from damage, loss of nerve cells, or degeneration to the portion of the brain that controls muscle coordination. Several conditions, including stroke, TIA (transient ischemic attack), tumor, head

trauma, multiple sclerosis, alcohol abuse and cerebral palsy, can cause the symptoms. Some forms of the disorder are hereditary and result from being born with a defect in a specific gene that produces abnormal proteins. These proteins disrupt nerve cells, causing them to degenerate over time. Gene defects are progressive, and most will cause poor coordination. There are also metabolic forms of the disorder caused by poisons or side effects of drugs. Testing for ataxia might include blood work, a CT scan or MRI, or lumbar puncture. If the ataxia was acquired from a viral infection such as chicken pox, it will likely resolve on its own without treatment. When appropriate, occupational, physical and speech therapy, as well as counseling to combat possible depression, allow a patient to remain as independent as possible and will work toward increasing mobility. A cane or walker might also help a person ambulate more easily. Your grandfather may test negative. If so, he should speak with his physician regarding possible intervention with a neurologist or other specialist so he can get to the bottom of the issue and learn how to resolve the issue or how best to cope with it. Good luck. Those readers who are interested in other neurological conditions might want to order my Health

Reports “Alzheimer’s Disease” and/or “Parkinson’s Disease” by sending a selfaddressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039. Be sure to mention the title(s), or print an order form from my website’s direct link: www.AskDrGottMD.com/ order_form.pdf. Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to order 12 different health reports but send only one check for all of them, along with a large manila envelope and extra postage. Is that OK, or do I need to send a No. 10 envelope for each report? Dear Reader: One large envelope is all that is required. It would be an enormous waste of energy and postage to send 12 separate envelopes. My guess is that you should affix approximately $1.44 in postage for the additional weight. Unfortunately, some reports are heavier than others, so I cannot be specific on this issue. I’ll look forward to receiving your orders. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

In the year ahead, you are likely to be elevated from the rear ranks to a powerful position in a situation where previously your voice carried little or no weight. Make sure that you don’t come off too strong, and look like a bully. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — A new development that has gotten some attention from others could have more potential than you first realize. Reassess its ramifications and what they have to offer. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — An unsolicited change is likely to play an important role, drawing you into an arrangement that you wouldn’t otherwise partake in. As events unfold, you’ll be happy you took a shot. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you can manage it, align yourself with an individual whose talents compliment yours. Partnership arrangements hold the most promise for you right now. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Joint endeavors hold the greatest potential for you, especially when you team up with someone whom you like a lot. Collectively, you can do great things together. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A friend of yours who has a lot of clout could be of considerable help to you. It is likely to be someone with whom you’ve done a number of good things in the past. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — The only way you will get the results you desire is to see things through to their conclusions. Make it a point not to get sidetracked by unimportant matters. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Your own interests can be of great importance to you, but you’re likely to feel the most gratification when you are doing things that are of assistance to others. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A couple of new channels might be found that could spice up what you already have cooking. One of the more important avenues will have something to do with your job or finances. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Some good news could arrive on the scene, concerning a matter that has something to do with your financial affairs. Whatever it is, it will enhance your material security. Aries (March 21-April 19) — You might not be the one who has control over events. It is likely to be Lady Luck who pulls the strings. But thank your lucky stars she’s on your side. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Something of substance for which you have long yearned might drop in your lap without you lifting a single haunch. If you’re in the right place with the right people at the right time, the rest will come. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don’t be afraid to let people who are in a position to help know what you would like to have. At least one of them will come through for you and aid you in achieving a significant objective. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Two slams for the price of one BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Abraham Lincoln asked, “If I were twofaced, would I be wearing this one?” In today's deal you get to face two slams for the price of one. How would you plan the play if you were in either six clubs or six no-trump after West leads the diamond 10? When you opened two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing, North immediately knew it was a slam deal. He responded two diamonds, planning to take control after finding out about your hand. Here, when you rebid two no-trump to show a good 22 to 24 points, North made a quantitative raise to six no-trump. You start with 11 top tricks: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds

and four clubs. In six no-trump, you will probably have to find the heart queen. So, leave that suit until after you have tested the other three. Win the first trick and duck a spade, losing the trick that you must concede. Let’s assume the defender who wins that trick returns a diamond. Now cash your spade, diamond and club winners. What do you find out? That West started with two spades, five diamonds and two clubs -- therefore, four hearts. Similarly, East began with five spades, two diamonds and three clubs -therefore, three hearts. The best play is clear: Cash your heart king, then play a heart to dummy's jack — and unluckily go down! In six clubs, though, you do not need to guess. Draw trumps, cash the diamond and spade winners, then lead your last spade. East has ei-

ther to shift to a heart, finding the queen for you, or to lead a spade, conceding a ruff-and-sluff.

Hot weather will continue to plague the Plains and the Mississippi Valleys Monday as a strong ridge of high pressure lingers over the region. Daytime highs from parts of Mexico through these regions and into areas of southern Canada will reach into the 90s and 100s. Strong humidity and daytime heating will allow heat index values in these regions to reach up to about 120 degrees. Expect Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories to remain in effect for much of the Plains, Mississippi Valleys, and parts of the Ohio Valley. Residents in these areas should take proper precautions against this dangerous heat situation by drinking plenty of fluids, staying in air conditioned locations, and staying out of the sun. Residents are also encouraged to check up on neighbors, the elderly, and pets. Meanwhile, hot and humid conditions combined with a cold front dropping across the Great Lakes will trigger slight chances of severe weather development with hail and damaging wind in the Upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and northeastern states. Intense storms with chances of damaging wind and hail are also expected in parts of western North Dakota. Elsewhere in the East, an ample pool of moisture and small disturbances will keep heavy rain along the Central Gulf Coast through the afternoon. More showers and thunderstorms are expected to the east of this activity due to Tropical Depression Two, located just north of the northwest Bahamas. Tropical Depression is expected to strengthen into a tropical storm as it travels slowly to the northeast Monday. In the West, showers in the Pacific Northwest will decrease as the ridge of the Plains builds westward. Meanwhile, chances of isolated storms will linger over the Four Corners.
