The great debate ALISBURY — Over my three decades here, I’ve always been intrigued by the way people say the name “Kerr,” as in Kerr Street and Kerr Mill. Natives — and I think this happens elsewhere in the South — often pronounce “Kerr” as “Car.” Teachers of phonics would not understand this. I’m not sure I do, either. Shouldn’t MARK “Kerr” rhyme WINEKA with “fur,” “purr,” “burr” and “sir?” It should not sound like “bar,” “tar,” “far” and “mar.” On a lark, photographer Jon Lakey and I spent an hour or so on South Main Street last Friday evening, when many people traveled to the downtown for Krazy Klearance sales. We set up on a corner at West Fisher Street, where I showed passersby a picture of a Kerr Street sign. I asked how they would pronounce this street name and ended up canvassing more than 50 people. The consensus? Roughly 2-to-1 opted for “Kerr,” as you would say “fur.” That’s not, of course, the final word on this subject. People who favored “Cur” over “Car” generally said it with an attitude that asked, “What else could it be?” They tended to be young people, teacher-types and transplants. But the people favoring “Car” said it with a lot of conviction. It came, I noticed, from folks I know to be longtime or lifelong residents. They told me about grandparents who used to live on Kerr Street, or noted that Kerrs in Rowan County history always had been called “Cars,” such as Kerr Craige Ramsay, one-time speaker of the N.C. House. Theresa Laib, a 15-year resident who favored “Car,” also reminded me that actress Deborah Kerr (“From Here to Eternity” and “An Affair to Remember”) pronounced her name as rhyming with the “star” she was. The debate rages on. OK, “rages” is a strong word, but many people have weighed in on Facebook in recent days. “When we moved to Raleigh in 1992,” says Liz Friedrich of Salisbury, “we were totally puzzled by the fact that Kerr Drugs was called ‘Car’ Drugs. In an effort to fit in with our adopted

SALISBURY — A Salisbury Police officer has been cleared of wrongdoing in the December shooting death of a Salisbury man. Officer K.H. Boehm, a three-year veteran, responded to a suspicious person call at 319 Vance Ave. on the night of Dec. 3. The suspicious person was later identified as Robert Lee Faulkner, 37. The SBI was called to investigate the shooting. Rowan District Attorney Brandy Cook reviewed the agency’s investigation and con-

Debra Hamilton, a former Salisburian who has lived in Scotland for many years, reports that in her adopted country Kerr is pronounced “like ‘hair’ with a ‘k.’” Oh, great, a third way to say it.

County offer to Hitachi faces foreign competition BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Facing international competition, Rowan County commissioners agreed Monday to offer an incentive grant to a project that could create 148 jobs. Hitachi Metals of China Grove is considering a joint venture that would call for a $71.6 million investment at its plant off N.C. 152. Hitachi is the principal VAN GEONS partner in the project. Its partners are said to be considering other sites in the United States and Asia.

New Historic Foundation executive takes leave Indictment says Jenkins needs time to deal with personal problems BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — Mourning the loss of her mother and pulled between three cities, Cynthia Cole Jenkins said she’s made the difficult decision to take a leave of absence from her new job as executive director of Historic Salisbury Foundation. The leave, which begins Friday, is open-ended. Jenkins said she doesn’t know when she will return but plans to resume her duties after dealing with personal matters. Soon after Jenkins took the job March 1, things began to go wrong in her personal life. Her house in Charleston, S.C., has never sold.

Her husband has suffered health problems, and her mother died unexpectedly in April. The couple are moving out of the historic home they’ve been renting at the corner of Fulton and H o r a h streets. “Even my dog was sick,” Jenkins said. “It’s JENKINS been a tough four or five months.” Most possessions will go into storage here until they find another house to rent or buy, she said.

Jenkins said she had no idea how difficult her mother’s death would be. “People kept telling me, when you lose your mom, it’s the worst thing you ever go through,” she said. Salisbury has been a wonderful and welcoming community, Jenkins said. It wasn’t fair to stay in the job when she couldn’t give 100 percent, she said. “It is a tremendous amount of work,” she said.

She plans to return to her job. “Well, I hope so,” she said. “That’s what we’re working toward.” David Post will serve as executive business manager during the interim.

Faulkner was causing a disturbance at an apartment and refused to comply with the officer’s orders to move away from the apartment. Jerry King said he had been drinking alcohol with Faulkner and kicked Faulkner out of his apartment. Faulkner also had cocaine and marijuana in his system. King told investigators he heard the officer tell Faulkner to step away from the apartment. Faulkner threatened the officer with a beer bottle, Police Chief Rory Collins said following the shooting. After repeated commands to put down the bottle, Faulkner complied, and Boehm tried to arrest him. As the officer attempted to place Faulkner in handcuffs, the man resisted.

After numerous warnings to stop, the officer shot Faulkner in the arm, shoulder and chest. Faulkner was taken to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. He died the next day. “Emergency personnel noted that there was no lighting and that Mr. Faulkner was combative and smelled of alcohol,” the statement said. Boehm had not been issued a Taser at the time of the shooting. Only patrol supervisors had stun guns. A crime scene search revealed three .40-caliber shell casings along with a bottle of Seagram’s Extra Dry Gin. The firearms exam and subsequent identification report confirmed three .40-caliber cartridge cases were fired from Boehm’s gun, the statement said. Collins said within days after the shooting that he believed Boehm followed department policy. The medical examiner concluded that Faulkner had been shot three times. Medical records indicate that Faulkner’s laboratory urine results at the hospital were positive for cocaine and marijuana. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

In a short period of time, Cynthia has made literally hundreds of friends, has become one of Salisbury’s most knowledgeable historians, and has added an incredible richness to the mosaic that makes Salisbury the historic and wonderful city it is.” Before taking the helm at Historic Salisbury Foundation, Jenkins served as executive director of the Historic Beaufort Foundation and the Preservation Society of Charleston and as a professor in the graduate program in Historic Preservation at Clemson University and the College of Charleston. “I look forward to getting all of these issues resolved and getting back to work,” Jenkins said.

Better tidy up — company’s coming.” How many times have you said or heard that? Heck, I’ve known folks who cleaned their house the night before the cleaning lady came. “Can’t have Rose think I don’t keep a clean house.” Around the first of November 1975, I had things I needed to “tidy up” because company was coming, not to my home, MIKE but to my movie theCLINE ater — the Terrace Theatre in Salisbury’s Towne Mall. And the company coming was Roy Rogers, the

“

“King of the Cowboys.” Roy had made his first feature film in 22 years and was making a whirlwind tour through parts of the Carolinas to promote it. When my bosses told me Roy would visit Salisbury on Saturday morning, Nov. 15, I was elated. The timing was perfect to really “put on the dog” for him. But what exactly would I do? The obvious answer was to show one of Roy’s old westerns, if I could get one. A call to the man who booked the movies for our three Salisbury theaters brought this response, “There haven’t been any theatrical prints of Roy Rogers’ movies in the Charlotte exchange for 15 years.” So I asked him if he could make

www.salisburypost.com

some calls and see if he could find one in the other film exchanges. Bookers could be temperamental at times, especially if you caught them at a busy time. I expected, perhaps, that he would just say no, but instead, he said he would call around. Either that afternoon or the next day, Dan the booker called me back and said, “I found you a Roy Rogers western ... in New York City. I can get it for you, but you’ll have to pay $50 to ship it down on a bus.” “Fine, I replied. Get it.” So the first major hurdle was accomplished. Roy’s visit would begin with “My Pal Trigger,” a Bwestern Roy had made with wife, Dale Evans, and friend, George

“Gabby” Hayes, way back in 1946. Next, I thought it would be nice to have a city of Salisbury official be on hand for Roy’s visit. I called then Mayor Bill Stanback and asked him to participate. I had met Bill as a fellow castmate during the Piedmont Players’ production of “Arsenic and Old Lace” a few years earlier. Stanback said he would be there. I regret I can’t recall exactly how the next step came about, except I thought it would be a good idea if we could have some live music before Roy spoke to the audience. It seems as though one of the concession stand young ladies told me that North Rowan High School had a really good pep band. So I called the school and got the band

director on the telephone. I apologized to this gentleman for not remembering his name. Friend Carol Carpenter suggested it might have been Charles Dunlap, but I am still not positive. But I told him what was going on, and he was very excited and said the NRHS Pep Band would be there. I asked if, by chance, he had sheet music for Roy’s theme song “Happy Trails.” He said no, but that he would compose an arrangement. Talk about going the extra mile. And so, because of the help of some really gracious people, the plans all fell perfectly into place. The afternoon of Nov. 14, a tele-

Man hits, kills woman on the shoulder of I-85

PATRIOTIC WINDMILL

BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was charged Monday after hitting and killing a woman on I-85 Friday afternoon. According to the N.C. State Highway Patrol, two women were involved in a minor accident near the George W. Liles Pkwy exit on I-85 at about 1 p.m. Friday. After pulling to the median to exchange information, both women were struck by Todd Winecoff’s vehicle as he swerved to avoid the slowed traffic. Trooper D. Eggers said the traffic began to slow around the area of the wreck and Winecoff was “unable to reduce his speed,” forcing him to pull onto the median. Ava Dickson, 38, of Durham, and Lamanda Reid, 22, of Lillington, were the two women involved. Both were taken to Carolina’s Medical Center-Northeast. According to Eggers, Dickson was treated and released. Reid later died at the hospital. Eggers charged Winecoff Monday with misdemeanor death by vehicle. Winecoff was not arrested.

Three hospitalized after dump truck pins mother, daughter BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — A mother and her daughter were hospitalized Monday after a dump truck slammed into their car, pinning them inside. According to a N.C.State Highway Patrol trooper, Joanne Harkey and her daughter were traveling south on U.S. 52 when she tried to make a U-turn about 1 p.m. Monday and were hit from behind. The truck crushed the rear half of the light blue Buick Century before the truck toppled off a 15-foot embankment on the road’s right side. The driver of the dump truck was also taken to the hospital. Harkey is an in-home health care provider for Home Instead Senior Care. A co-worker of Harkey said Harkey and her daughter were initially taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Harkey was then airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. The co-worker said her daughter was also taken to Winston-Salem but was unaware of which hospital. A spokesperson for Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center said Joanne Harkey was not in the hospital’s directory.

CHARLOTTE — A company that sells wigs online heads the Better Business Bureau’s mid-year 2011 Dirty Half Dozen list of worst-rated area businesses. Others include a talent agency that recruits models, a discount furniture store, a job training company, a law office that specializes in mortgage modifications and a security company with offices in Concord and Charlotte. In the first half of 2011, consumers filed 6,292 complaints with the BBB against businesses in the Southern Piedmont of the Carolinas. The top six businesses with the most unanswered or unresolved complaints are included on the BBB’s Dirty Half Dozen list. “The business practices of these six companies range from deception to disregard, and this type of customer service is unacceptable to customers and to the BBB,” said BBB President Tom Bartholomy. “Customers expect and should receive, at the very minimum, a response from the company when they are unhappy with the products or services received.” Here’s the Mid-Year 2011 Dirty Half Dozen: • Katour Line Enterprises (BBB grade F), Charlotte — Katour Line Enterprises sells wigs and hairpieces via an online website. Customers from 17 states filed complaints with the BBB after ordering but not receiving wigs that cost an average of $150. After the BBB contacted Katour Line about the complaints, the company responded with a letter stating that the company was changing ownership, and consumers would need to challenge the charges with their credit card companies in order to obtain refunds. Katour Line has seven unanswered or unresolved complaints in 2011 and 26 total complaints in the previous 36 months. • Talent Solutions Group, LLC (BBB grade F),

New traffic pattern on U.S. 70 CLEVELAND — Drivers on U.S. 70 near Cleveland will follow a new traffic pattern starting Thursday. From Amity Hill Road to the Iredell County line, traffic on the highway currently flows two ways on both eastbound lanes. Beginning late Thursday morning, traffic will remain in two lanes but will move to the appropriate side of the road. Rich Haff, assistant resident engineer for the N.C. Department of Transportation office in Salisbury, said work on rehabilitation of the highway and replacement of a bridge has progressed enough to allow the change. Now, crews must finish work on the median and paving on the eastbound lanes. Haff said the goal is to open all four lanes of that part of U.S. 70 in mid-August.

Health, agriculture officials warn of dangers of drinking raw milk women, the elderly, infants, young children and people with weakened immune systems. The raw milk, packaged in 1-gallon containers, was distributed by courier to families that participated in a milk club. State health officials recommend discarding any milk or milk products that may have come from Tucker Adkins Dairy/ “The sale of raw milk for human consumption is illegal in North Carolina,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Even though the purchase of raw milk is legal in South Carolina, transporting unpasteurized milk in final package form across any state lines to sell or distribute for human consumption is against the law.” Pasteurization, which involves heating food to a specific temperature for a definite length of time, and then cooling it immediately, slows microbial growth in food. It is a reliable method for eliminating harmful bacteria from milk, and is the only method used in the United States.

A outbreak of illnesses in Iredell and Mecklenburg counties has prompted state health and agriculture officials to issue a warning about drinking raw milk. The N.C. Division of Public Health and the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services are working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate three confirmed and five probable cases of campylobacteriosis. All of the affected individuals drank raw milk from the Tucker Adkins Dairy in York, S.C. One of the individuals affected by the campylobacteriosis outbreak was hospitalized. “Because the milk was distributed in mid-June, we are hopeful that this is the extent of the outbreak,” State Health Director Jeff Engel said. “However, we want to be sure that anyone who may have been exposed to milk from this source is aware of the signs and symptoms of illness and gets proper medical attention.” According to the FDA, raw milk is unpasteurized milk from hoofed mammals, such as cows, sheep or goats. Raw milk may contain a wide variety of harmful bacteria — including Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, Listeria, Campylobacter and Brucella — that may cause illness and possibly death. The most common symptoms of campylobacteriosis are vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, headache and body aches. The harmful bacteria in raw milk can be especially dangerous for pregnant

KING FROM 3a phone call from the Trailways bus station on Innes Street informed me that I had some film there from New York. The Saturday morning of Nov. 15 found me at the Terrace around 7. Up first was to change the marquee. Down came “The Pink Panther,” and went “WELCOME ROY ROGERS, KING OF THE COWBOYS.” The staff arrived around 8:30 and prepared the concession stand for what I hoped would be an avalanche of people. The NRHS Pep Band pulled in a little later. I asked them to set up down front to the left side of the screen. The microphone where folks would speak was on the right side. At 9, we opened the doors to the patrons who had formed in the parking lot. Very quickly, the 600 seats of the auditorium were filled. The pep band played a selection of songs for the crowd. People then started to fill the aisles and line up across the back row of the auditorium. Then they spilled out into the lobby, and it became very crowd-

Fortunately, none of the 800 people now in the building (by the Salisbury Post estimate) was the Salisbury fire marshal, or there might have been a problem. “My Pal Trigger” hit the screen around 9:30. Mayor Stanback had also arrived. Inside the auditorium, folks were watching the 1946 version of Roy Rogers. Right on time at 9:30, the 1975 Roy Rogers rode up to the Terrace Theatre, not on a horse, but in a white convertible. The difference between the two Roys was slight. The nearly 30 years had been very kind to him. We rushed him through the side door up the stairs to my office, where for the next 30 or so minutes, he spoke with Sylvia Wiseman of the Salisbury Post and Mike Mangan of local radio. We all had a great time listening to this mild-mannered gentleman. Roy’s long-time manager, W. Arthur Rush, popped his head into the office and said, “Roy, they’re playing one of your old pictures. Come take a look.” I led the King into the projection booth, and he watched a few minutes and said, “That’s ‘My Pal Trigger,’ made that one a long time ago.”

What was she doing at that time? Did he really have Trigger stuffed? Why aren’t movies like they used to be? And soon it was time for Roy to move on to the next town. He left the building by going through the lobby, speaking to the folks who hadn’t been able to get into the auditorium. People gave him gifts. Some women kissed him on the cheek.

Code Orange alert issued for air quality Air quality officials have issued a Code Orange health notice for air pollution in the Charlotte metropolitan area today. People who are sensitive to air pollution should avoid moderate exertion outdoors. Sensitive groups include children and older adults; people who work or exercise out-

doors; people with heart conditions; and those with asthma, bronchitis, emphysema and other respiratory ailments. The primary pollutant of concern is ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen. High ozone levels can impair breathing and aggravate symptoms in people with respiratory problems, and irritate the lungs in healthy individuals. People with chronic lung ailments, older adults and children should reduce physical exertion and outdoor activity in the afternoon, when ozone levels are highest. In addition, residents of affected areas should refrain from outdoor burning.

Davie County woman wins $200K per year

the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform. “The process has been created to be a partisan one, one that allows the party in power to continue to remain in power and choose its voters, rather than letting the voters choose their representatives,” Pinsky said. She spoke in Raleigh at one of 10 sites statewide where members of the House and Senate redistricting committees received comments on proposed House and Senate maps released last week. The committees will begin debating the legislative and congressional maps Thursday in Raleigh and could start voting on them early next week in hopes of giving them final approval by the General As-

sembly by July 28. The nonpartisan redistricting legislation wouldn’t affect the current round of redistricting — meaning the process wouldn’t be used until the 2020 census — but support for the idea has soared in the Legislature after similar bills went nowhere for several years when Democrats controlled the General Assembly. Based on a method used in Iowa, the General Assembly’s permanent staff would develop boundaries for state House and Senate districts and for the 13 seats in the U.S. House delegation. The maps would be based on census population numbers but could neither favor a political party nor protect the seats of incumbents.

Judge orders pre-kindergarten services restored RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina cannot limit enrollment in a pre-kindergarten program for at-risk children that saw its budget reduced by the General Assembly, the judge overseeing a long-running education-opportunity lawsuit ordered Monday. It’s not clear whether the order by Superior Court Judge Howard Manning Jr. could force the Legislature to redo part of the $19.7 billion state budget that took effect this month. Manning said only that he’s confident the state will live up to its constitutional duties to afford every child a good, basic education. “This is not advisory. It is an order,” said Melanie Dubis, an attorney for the five poor school districts involved in the lawsuit. “The overall education budget is not sufficient to meet all of the requirements” laid down by the state Supreme Court. Gov. Beverly Perdue, who saw the budget become law after her veto was overridden, called on lawmakers to rework their spending plan in time for the coming school year. The Legislature reconvenes next week for a ses-

HITACHI FROM 1a “This is our opportunity to put ourselves in front as they make their final decisions as a corporation,” said Robert Van Geons, director of RowanWorks Economic Development, at the special meeting of the Rowan County Board of Commissioners. At first, the company asked for a Level Two grant under Rowan County’s investment grant program, which would equal 80 percent of the tax revenue generated by the project. But Van Geons said Monday that the request had changed to a Level One grant for 75 percent of the tax revenue. Based in Tokyo, Hitachi is a multinational corporation that specializes in high technology, machinery and public infrastructure. Since 1990, the company has operated a plant in Rowan County that produces arc-segment magnets for use in motors. Hitachi Metals President Pat Barton said the new joint venture would be a company that mines rare earth materials, and its China Grove facility would make rare earth magnets. “It’s a different type of magnet than the ferrite magnet we make,” Barton said. “It will be used in hydroelectric vehicles and also in wind power applications. It also will be used in elevators and the defense industry as well.” The joint venture would invest $42.1 million in new equipment and construction and create 92 jobs in 2013, according to a project schedule.

sion primarily dedicated to redistricting. Republican legislative leaders said they were reviewing Manning’s order. Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, said he was confident the GOP-written budget would remain unaltered. Lawyers for low-wealth school districts in Hoke, Robeson, Vance, Halifax and Cumberland counties argued that the state budget undercuts gains made since a landmark 1997 Supreme Court decision. The ruling in the Leandro case, named for one of its plaintiffs, said every child has a constitutional right to an education that allows them to compete for a job or higher education and to be a functional citizen. Since then, state officials have been under court pressure to improve literacy and other measures of student performance, and to prepare 4-year-olds at risk of falling behind their peers before they enter kindergarten. The state since 2002 has pointed to a program called More At Four as satisfying the court’s demands.

Two years later, the schedule calls for $29.5 million more investment and 56 more jobs. The minimum investment threshold for the county’s Level Two grant is $50 million, which would be met in the second phase of the project but not the first. Level One grants only require a $5 million investment. Van Geons said the company wants to make sure it can meet and exceed the county’s expectations. Commissioner Carl Ford said he has wanted the county to do something for its existing businesses for a while, and now it has had sev- FORD eral chances to do so. “I’m glad to have Hitachi Metals in Rowan County,” Ford said. “They’re evolving as a company and changing with the market, which is smart.” The proposed project could result in $11.8 million a year in direct and indirect salaries, according to an economic impact analysis compiled by Van Geons. Over the five years of the Level One grant, the county would collect $1,861,848 in tax revenue and give the company incentives of $1,396,386. This would net the county $465,462, which is $93,092 more than it would have received by giving a Level Two grant. Over 10 years, the county would net nearly $2.7 million in new revenue. Commissioner Jim Sides asked if the company also has requested a grant from the

town of China Grove, which also will benefit from new tax revenue. Van Geons replied that there was not enough time before the company meets to make its decision at the end of this month. “They have supported our agreements in the past,” Van Geons said. “If we are able to work this out, we will continue to move forward, and if we need to ask China Grove in order to make it work, we will.” Hitachi has received incentives in the past, Sides said, and it’s against the county’s policy to give incentives to the same company twice. Van Geons said the new incentive grant would not go to Hitachi but to its joint venture company, which would employ the new workers. “I think it’s important for the public to be informed about who we’re dealing with,” Sides said. “We’re giving an incentive to a company we can’t even name.” Commissioner Jon Barber said the county knows it is dealing with Hitachi Metals, and he understands the need to keep the project confidential at this time. No one spoke during a public hearing about the incentive grant Monday. The board voted 3-1 to approve it. Commissioner Jim Sides voted against the grant, saying he wants the project in Rowan County but thinks incentives are a “bad deal” for county taxpayers. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain was absent from the meeting. Barton thanked the board for its support, which will help the company secure funding from the state.

RALEIGH (AP) — Republican lawmakers took verbal punches about proposed General Assembly boundaries during the final round of public hearings on political maps Monday, but they also heard from a rising chorus that backs a drawing method designed to make the process less partisan. The idea of creating a nonpartisan redistricting process to draw proposed maps has gained steam this year at the Legislature, where a bipartisan bill passed the House by a comfortable margin and now sits in the Senate. The measure would reduce the suspicion that people have in the current mapmaking that political considerations control which districts voters end up, said Jane Pinsky with

beginning of the summer. One of those big, above ground pools you can get at Walmart for about $150. Their mom, Kelly, said as a single mom, she’s just not able to afford one for the girls. She told them if they raised the money themselves, they could buy the pool. They were excited by the prospect of getting a pool, until they went to their church, Charity Baptist, and learned there were little boys and girls in Joplin, Mo., who didn’t have anything. A tornado had ripped through Joplin and devastated the area. At church that Sunday, they were talking about what they could do to help. Justin Thompson, student pastor at the church, asked the kids for suggestions — the kids tossed around the ideas of sending teddy bears, toys and games, and collecting water bottles and blankets. “In the back of the room, one of our college students raised his hand and said, ‘Let’s build them a house,’ “ said Justin. The energy in the room excited the Broadway girls, who went home with a new goal. “That next morning, they woke up and kind of went in their room together,” said Kelly Broadway. “They said, ‘Mama, instead of getting a pool, can we just give the money to Justin?’ “ Kelly was struck by the girls’ generosity. They had talked about the pool most of the spring and the beginning of summer. And they gave up the dream to raise money to build a house for a family in Joplin. The family lives on Hemlock Road and had a lemonade stand set up on the corner of Hemlock and West C Street during the city’s Charlotte Symphony concert on July 2 and raised $180 —more than enough for that pool — that they donated to the church. “I thought it was really good of them,” said Kelly. “I was just so proud of them.” “Those little girls for the longest time have wanted a pool in the backyard,” said Justin

Thompson. “Instead of raising money to buy them a pool, they brought in every single penny.”

A church on fire Justin said it is stories like that one that are blazing through the congregation at Charity Baptist since Vacation Bible School — where their weeklong goal was to collect $2,000. The kids collected $6,000. “They just started bringing in money,” said Justin. “It was insane.” The church needs nearly $35,000 to start the project — they are working with Habitat for Humanity in Joplin on the project —and an estimated total of $43,000 to complete the entire project. So far, they have over $7,000 raised, and donations coming in every day. But they don’t want to just build the family a house. “We want to be able to furnish it,” said Justin. “We’re just stepping out on faith and seeing what all happens with this.” Justin said to build and furnish the house, the church will need close to $70,000. When asked why not just build two houses, Justin’s answer is based in faith. “We honestly feel that God has called us to go over and beyond to really do something amazing for at least one family,” said Justin. “When we walk away, if the family says, ‘Why us? We don’t deserve this.” We’ll be able to respond, ‘We don’t deserve God’s grace.’ “ Justin said while the kids have taken over ownership of the project, the entire church has caught fire. “Our church has woken up to this idea,” he said. “They are branching out with the excitement of the kids; they want to be a part of this. … We don’t know if God wants us to build one house or if we’re going to build a whole cul-de-sac.” Once the church has raised the money, Justin said they will take as many people as possible

out for the build. “Hopefully, we’ll all be able to work on that house,” he said. But, if not, there are other projects Habitat is working on that the church family can help with. Scott Clayton, Justin’s Habitat for Humanity’s contact in Joplin, said so far, the organization has been working on short term recovery — clean-up and damage repair. “The volunteer response has been tremendous,” Clayton said from his office last week. If he had to leverage three areas where the group needs help, it would be funds, building lots and families in need. He appreciates what Charity is trying to do and can’t wait to see the end result. “That’s a great goal,” he said. “Most people kind of shy away when they see what it takes.” Habitat for Humanity in Joplin builds between three and five homes a year and was started in 1989. In contrast, Clayton said the group will soon begin work in three new homes and are hoping to begin a few more in the fall. By the end of the year, Clayton said the affiliate’s goal was 56 homes. Justin said he hopes that Charity’s house can be one of those homes. “Honestly, it all depends on how fast we can raise the money,” he said. “I would love to be able to be out there in the next four months.” He is quick to add that it’s not just a Charity Baptist Church house. If other churches or organizations would like to help, it can be a city-wide effort. “This is where a body of believers can come together and really make an impact.” For more information about The Welcome Home Project started by Charity, visit www.charitybaptistchurch.cc.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Debbie Chatman Bryant always wanted to be a nurse, but never believed that she could become one. Her desire to practice nursing sprang from childhood memories of people in her Moncks Corner community being sick and not really understanding their illnesses. In addition, Bryant says doctors, nurses and hospital stays were a fact of her early life. So was her and her parents’ frustration at not being able to understand the medical terminology doctors and nurses used when speaking of her conditions. “I was sickly. I lost all of my hair. I had these sores and stuff. I had a hernia. And I always had stomach problems,” says Bryant, who today still is unsure about all of her illnesses. Even then, Bryant, now 51 and assistant director for cancer prevention, control and outreach at the Hollings Cancer Center, wanted to help. At some point, she told herself that if she could become a nurse, she would find a way to talk to patients so they could understand. “No one ever told me I could be one (a nurse),” says Bryant, who earned her doctorate in nursing practice from the Medical University of South Carolina in May.

Early years in school Bryant grew up during the ’60s, a time filled with the promise of great social change for many AfricanAmericans, but not for her. She was assigned to thirdand fourth-grade classes for children thought to not have much promise and basically was ignored, she says. “We were going from segregation to desegregation,” she says. “But I was in the classroom with white teachers who weren’t supporting that dream. The message I got was, ‘You’re poor. You’re stupid. You’re not going to be anything.’ I believed that because I was put in classes for slow learners,” she says. “My parents were not educated people. It wasn’t until I got into the fifth grade and went to middle school, where there were black teachers, that somebody noticed I was in the wrong class.” Somehow, Bryant came to the attention of a guidance counselor, she says. One day, the counselor simply told Bryant that she was going to be in a different class. “It was scary,” Bryant recalls. “They were doing things I didn’t know how to do. It became a situation where I was always trying to hide what I didn’t know and trying to be just as good as they were. “I would work very hard,” Bryant says. She didn’t know that getting a B instead of an A was not the end of the world. She felt the constant pressure of trying to meet unfamiliar criteria. And she always was afraid someone would discover the weaknesses she tried to hide and conclude she didn’t belong among academically stronger students after all.

Early adult life Bryant continued to do her best and graduated from Berkeley High School in 1978. She attended the College of Charleston but was unhappy, she says. “I was tiny, had crooked teeth and no hair. I was always the best friend and never the girlfriend. I should not have been there

at that time,” she says. “I left there feeling defeated. If I had had some money in my pocket, I could have run away.” Instead, she went to work for the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles in Moncks Corner and took classes at Trident Technical College. At the time, she was unsure of what she wanted but tried to stay active in school and in her community. She got involved with organizing a high school class reunion. It led to meeting, then marrying, a former classmate, Jeff Bryant, who had been serving in the Army oversees and could not attend the reunion but visited her on his next leave. After marrying, she moved to Fort Bragg, N.C., sold real estate and had a string of jobs, she says. Then, one day she heard herself voicing her desire to become a nurse to her husband. The words just came out of her mouth. In 1992, when her husband was assigned to Fort Stewart, Ga., she attended what then was called Armstrong State College in Savannah and earned an associate degree in nursing. “I had dreams of running Trident hospital, but an associate’s degree wasn’t going to do it,” Bryant says. So she enrolled at the Medical University of South Carolina School of Nursing in a bridge program and earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 2002.

Provided Bryant, daughter Dionah and husband Jeff were at the MUSC College of Nursing’s hooding ceremony in May. While studying, she worked nights and weekends as needed at Trident Medical Center. There, she met a patient who was constantly returning to the hospital with complications from diabetes. The disease also ran in the patient’s family. They did not understand how to avoid getting diabetes, and those who had it did not know how to live with it. “My interest piqued in diabetes,” says Bryant, who began working as a diabetes educator at the hospital. She also had joined the Tri-county Black Nurses Association and became involved in several outreach programs. Bryant soon was thinking that she could help more people by educating communities about health care. “She is an advocate for the patient,” says Keith Waring, a financial adviser who worked with Bryant as a volunteer on Dr. Thaddeus Bell’s Closing the Gap in Healthcare initiative. “She is solution-oriented and always focuses on the positive. I have never seen her down.” How was she able to deal with the problems that life brought her way? “I think God instilled a spirit in her that enables her to keep moving ahead despite difficulties,” Waring says. “I just love the way she tells you she is going to do something and she gets things done.”

Professional life In 2002, she began work at MUSC on a hearing research study that was having a difficult time attracting black participants. Then, she moved on to the Hollings Cancer Center in 2005 and developed a program to help patients move from screening through diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Her outreach and

tire family. If you will be honest with this exercise, on about the third day you’re going to get a wake-up call for just how much money is slipping through your fingers, all in the name of being too busy to plan ahead. During your 30-day challenge, I want to invite you to perfect one simple homecooked meal: pot roast. The recipe that follows is so dropdead simple, if not quirky, you’ll wonder if perhaps I’ve lost my mind. You just have to give it a try. You’ll be totally amazed and so will your family. 3-packets and a roast 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix 1 packet dry brown gravy mix 1 beef roast (any cut, about 3 pounds) Place the roast in a slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry mix-

es over the roast. Pour 1 cup water into the bottom of your slow cooker. Cover. Cook on low for 7 hours. If you’re in the vicinity of your slow cooker during the last hour or two, you can add potatoes and carrots. Or, serve with plain white rice and your choice of vegetables. This recipe is so forgiving, it’s nearly impossible to come out with anything other than a perfect pot roast with delicious gravy all ready to eat. Variations: For pork roast, change the brown gravy mix to pork gravy mix. With chicken, swap the gravy mix for chicken gravy mix. If your family is a little picky, remove the roast to a platter and cover with foil. Pour the gravy liquid through a strainer to collect and discard all the bits, then serve the gravy alongside (or over) the pot roast, which will simply fall apart because it will be so tender. I’ve prepared a 40-page

Given the tension in your home, the fact that she isn’t living at home might be best for everyone — for now. Assuming she is safe where she is, you should accept her choice, keep the lines of communication open and discourage your husband from making dramatic statements. Tell her, “This is not what I want. But because you aren’t living with us, we won’t support you financially. You should find ways to contribute to the household where you’re living. It sounds as if you need to get a job this summer.” You will not be able to be a good and strong parent if you are a basket case about this. If you find you cannot control your emotions, you should talk to a therapist. A mediator could attempt to broker a solution.

Teen moves out, but mom can’t move on Dear Amy: It has been almost two weeks since my 18year-old daughter (the youngest of my six children) decided to pack up her things and move out of our family home. She is living with her boyfriend and his family, about 10 minutes away. She moved while I was out. Her father was upstairs sleeping. I was told that because of constant nagging and our threats to ASK kick her out, AMY she decided it was best to leave us. She blames her dad and me for her choice. She will be a senior in high school this year, and she has no job because she is too good to work in a fast-food restaurant. This has been a nightmare. Her father disowned her over the phone the first time she called after moving out. Now he has threatened to move out if she comes back home! I am grieving for her every day and cry constantly. I try not to verbalize my feelings when we talk, but it’s so hard to wonder how long she can actually stay away from me. We were always very close. I wanted to see her achieve many milestones this coming year. I felt that this was going to be “her year,” and now it’s all ruined. I am having such a hard time dealing with this. — Distraught

MANNING’S PRE-K RULING

When ‘More’ becomes less A life-altering experience ducation officials and legislators will take a while to sort out the impact of a judge’s ruling that the state budget cannot deny poor children access to the pre-k program previously known as More at Four. But one thing is apparent from Judge Howard Manning’s ruling handed down Monday. The state is on shaky ground if its policies ration early education services for at-risk youngsters. Of course, rationing isn’t the term the Republican-led legislature used in revamping More at Four. The budget shortfall was behind a 20 percent spending cut and other changes that included new acceptance requirements, copayments and shifting oversight of the program — now known as N.C. Pre-Kindergarten — to the Department of Health and Human Services. Yet, however those changes are defended, the consequences for at-risk children are clear: Reduced access, at a higher cost. Manning’s ruling came in response to a complaint filed by the Leandro group, the low-wealth counties involved in a state Supreme Court case that established the right to a “sound basic education” for all N.C. youngsters. The plaintiffs argued that the budget undercuts Leandro. The problem isn’t the funding cut in itself but the stipulation limiting the pre-k spots for at-risk youngsters to 20 percent, Manning said. “This case has always been about the rights of children,” he wrote. “This case is about the individual right of every child to have the equal opportunity to obtain a sound basic education.” While legislators can cut funding, they can’t impose barriers that restrict access to the pre-k program. In effect, Manning said, that’s what the new regulations do — and it’s a restriction that must be remedied.

A pitch for normalcy Can being normal be a disadvantage? In the world of baseball closers, apparently so, according to the Wall Street Journal. But N.Y. Mets hurler and Rowan County native Bobby Parnell isn’t too worried about being perceived as a regular guy. “Where closers are concerned, normal isn’t in vogue,” WSJ sportswriter Mike Sielski writes in a Sunday column. He cites San Francisco Giant Brian Wilson (“more recognizable for his ink-black beard and unorthodox sartorial habits than for his accomplishments on the field”) and Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams as representative of the trend to idiosyncratic closers. Sielski asked Parnell, the former East Rowan High standout, whether he thought closers needed to have a few loose screwballs. “I try not to be weird,” Parnell says. “Some of the good ones have been. I don’t think it’s a necessity.” Parnell, who’s vying to be the Mets’ closer, doesn’t need to worry about a lack of weirdness. His fastball has been clocked at 103 mph. That’s not normal. It’s just plain nasty.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Those that lie down with dogs get up with fleas. — Native-American wisdom saying

Moderately confused

re you fed up with the partisan, polarizing and stagnant incivility and childish gamesmanship of today’s politics that forces the shutdown of governments, brings this nation to the brink of financial chaos and focuses more on being right than doing right? Political-speak labels this condition “hyperpartisanship,” but most of us plainspoken TOM call it CAMPBELL folks garbage that smells so bad we want to toss it out and start over. We got here in part because of today’s highly partisan media, especially cable, talk radio and Internet, that encouraged people to self-segregate into liberals and conservatives. In order to hold and grow audiences, this media requires new content to feed 24-hour news cycles, a ripe environment for ever more partisan, extreme and emotional dialogue. Reporters and politicos became rock stars fanning the flames, more interested in identifying and demonizing their opposition than offering workable solutions. While some have been whipped into a state of frenzy and became vocal activists for these positions, many more of us tuned out and turned off the noise. A reported 41 percent of all Americans consider themselves independent of either political party, and a majority of voters support the creation of a third political party. Many admit to being fiscally conservative but socially liberal, willing for government to do things they are neither willing nor able to do themselves. They agree to a social contract that includes helping the poor and the sick (especially the mentally ill) unable to help themselves, providing public infrastructure like roads and water and sewer systems, and providing certain environmental, safety, military and commerce protections. They also accept the public task of educating our children. But in all these roles they demand sound, cost-effective management, measurable outcomes and both personal and government accountability as non-negotiable prerequisites. The dualistic right or wrong, good or bad, friend or enemy way isn’t working. We are more than Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives, Anglo or Afro, rich or poor, young or old. Today’s issues are not either/or decisions but both/and propositions, requiring us to seek common ground, then listening and working together to find solutions. Call us centrists, moderates, independents, anything you want, but call us ready for change. Starting a third party won’t be easy, especially in North Carolina where laws require an unreasonable number of petition signatures to gain ballot access. Large amounts of money will be needed to be competitive and finding an attractive candidate who can energize the many who have given up will be equally difficult, especially convincing independents there is room under a third-party tent for differences of opinion, that working and listening together will get us farther than present-day all or nothing-at-all politics. We are not unaware of the challenge but have watched the political climate worsen. What is currently playing out in Washington and Raleigh forces us to agree with Sojourners’ Jim Wallis that “the left doesn’t get it and the right gets it wrong.” Neither Democrats nor Republicans seem willing to halt this tragic drama. It is increasingly obvious things won’t get better in North Carolina until some catalyst forces change. That change agent will be a third political party. A new website, www.ncthirdparty.com, has been initiated to invite your response and participation in this movement. Are you ready for a third party? • • • Tom Campbell is the executive producer of the public affairs program “NC Spin.”

Governor’s School is worth saving BY LEIGH BETH LYTLE For the Salisbury Post

summer in the Governor’s School is an unforgettable experience for participants, offering an exciting learning environment that encourages free thinking for some of the most gifted students across the state. This is an invaluable six–week experience for 600 North Carolina students who are free to pursue their artistic and academic passions, without the trappings of a normal school environment. Yet, according to the recently passed state budget, this program has zero value. On June 16, when it approved the new state budget, the General Assembly assigned no money to fund the Governor’s School, resulting in an $850,000 budget gap for the annual program held at two locations. The General Assembly decided that the 49-year-old program could still run on a tuition-based system or through funds raised by the Governor’s School Foundation, started about 20 years ago. However, a tuition-based system would be detrimental to the diversity of the program. At this time, families with widely varied socioeconomic backgrounds are able to attend, but charging $2,100 tuition would narrow the student population drastically. The foundation is working to ensure that the residential program is available to all eligible and deserving students. The major kickoff to this campaign was “Alumni Day” and “Day of Service and Thanks,” held in Raleigh at Governor’s School East on July 9. Students performed various service projects around Raleigh, such as road clean-up, to thank the residents of North Carolina for supporting the program for 49 years. More than 300 alumni in attendance contacted older alumni through phone calls, asking for support. This endeavor raised about $20,000 of the needed amount. The next movement of this campaign is to ask other North Carolina residents to donate money. I along with all the other students at Governor’s School East have been working hard to preserve the program. As my time here is

drawing to a close, I am becoming aware that this experience will forever impact my life. I was nominated in English, which is one of 10 subjects that include math, natural science, social science, French/Spanish, dance, theater, choral music and instrumental music. My English class is focused on creative writing, which is out of my comfort zone but has helped me improve tremendously in my creative writing skills. While we spend the majority of our time in our designated subject, we also attend other classes. They focus on discovering our own values, morals and world views in a place where it is acceptable to disagree. One crucial part of this experience for me has been the exposure to different cultures and ideas outside of class. Governor’s School is more diverse than any other adolescent gathering I have ever attended. I have made friends from many different countries, cultures and religions. All of the Governor’s School alumni I have spoken to have agreed that this experience was a major part of shaping who they are today. I think this program is incredibly valuable, and it is essential that it continue to be offered to North Carolina students. I am very grateful for this experience. I am humbled by the vast knowledge on world issues that many students here have. I love to listen to the writing of the other students in my class because they sound better than some published writers. I am also honored to have some amazing teachers here. The North Carolina Governor’s School is the flagship program of its kind in the country and has been replicated in more than 35 states. However, it still remains the most prestigious. Governor’s School may seem like a waste of taxpayer money, but it allows the best of the young citizens in North Carolina to strive to achieve their fullest potential, including future scientists, diplomats, politicians, etc., who through Governor’s School can develop the tools they need to enact positive change throughout North Carolina, the United States and the world. It’s not a needless expenditure; it’s an investment in the future well-being of North Carolina. Please help support this program any way you can by visiting ncgsfoundation.org and making a tax deductible donation. ••• Leigh Beth Lytle, a rising senior at West Rowan High, is currently attending Governor's School East at Meredith College.

Government should cut subsidies to millionaires

EDITOR Letters policy

As a follow-up to the July 14 letter from Louise Klaver, I agree with her 100 percent. Not only should all the politicians take a cut in salary and perks; they should get busy and do their job in collecting all the outstanding taxes owed by millionaires. But most of all, they should cut out all the farm subsidies to millionaires. Why should anybody get paid more than $100,000 not to plant anything on his land, then you turn around and import the produce from other countries? It is time to throw out all the old cronies in government and get someone who works for all the people, not only the rich. It is time that people fight for the poor, especially for the ones that are not able to speak for themselves. — Emilie Whitney Salisbury

Lessons from ‘Old Hickory’ Andrew Jackson was our seventh president. He studied and practiced law in Salisbury and became a well-respected lawyer. He was elected president in 1828 and re-elected in 1832. “Old Hickory” was not popular as a new president. But when he left office, he was very popular because he abolished the National Bank and gave the monies to private banks. He argued with the supporters of a national bank that supporting a national bank would be detrimental to the national economy. It would be nothing more than a bank loaning money to other countries and that would probably become bad debts. He was proven correct because during his second term he managed to collect many millions owed by France. He was also successful in collecting many other delinquent foreign debts. His opposition to a national bank was a great decision because, according to the Constitution, Congress was the only body of the federal government that could issue money or collect taxes. President Jackson proved

right because the Federal Reserve System operating today is the most powerful body in our government. Jackson was also a great hero in the War of 1812. He was a major general in this war, which defeated the British who were the invaders and commanded many more troops than Jackson. A later president, Woodrow Wilson, disregarded the Constitution and allowed an illegal vote, which was not ratified by the states and created the Federal Reserve System. The Federal Reserve has never been audited. It is not a federal bank but is owned by 12 private banks. Today, our government in Washington is failing to serve this greatest country on Earth.

Obama threatens veto of House GOP spending cuts

associated press

Members of the group ‘No Labels,’ rally on capitol Hill on Monday to urge congress and the president to find a bipartisan solution to the fiscal crisis. By contrast, neither the administration nor congressional officials provided substantive details on an unannounced meeting that Obama held Sunday with the two top House Republican leaders, Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia. Obama said late Monday the two sides were “making progress.” Several Republicans said

privately the decision to vote on veto-threatened legislation is paradoxically designed to clear the way for a compromise. They said conservatives would have a chance to push their deep spending cuts through the House, and then see the measure quickly die either in the Democratic-controlled Senate or by veto. Barring action by Congress to raise the $14.3 trillion debt

limit, the Treasury will be unable to pay all the government’s bills that come due beginning on Aug. 3, two weeks from Wednesday. Administration officials, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others say the result could be a default that inflicts serious harm on the economy, which is still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades. In a gesture underscoring the significance of the issue, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced the Senate will meet each day until it is resolved, including on weekends. The two-pronged approach pursued by the House GOP follows the collapse of a weeks-long effort to negotiate a sweeping bipartisan plan to cut into future deficits. The endeavor foundered when Obama demanded that tax increases on the wealthy and selected corporations be included alongside cuts in benefit programs, and Republicans refused. The failure of that effort also reflects the outsized influence exerted by 87 first-

conservative in Congress. Supporters of the measure say it would cut $111 billion from spending in the budget year that begins on Oct 1, and $6 trillion more over the coming decade through a requirement that the budget shrink relative to the overall size of the economy. Additionally, it would require both houses of Congress to approve a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution as a condition for an increase in the debt limit. Both Boehner and Cantor reacted relatively mildly to the White House veto threat. “As President Obama has not put forth a plan that can garner 218 votes in the House, I’d caution him against so hastily dismissing ‘Cut, Cap and Balance,’” Cantor said.

term Republicans, many of them elected last fall with tea party backing. As late as last Thursday, Republican leaders held a news conference to tout plans to vote this week on a proposed balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. But the same senior Republicans emerged from a closeddoor meeting of the rank and file on Friday to say the House would instead vote on an alternative — dubbed by its advocates as “Cut, Cap and Balance.” No date has been set for a vote on the constitutional amendment itself. Officials said the change in course had been requested by members of the Republican Study Committee, whose members are among the most

WASHINGTON (AP) — Courting confrontation and compromise alike, House Republicans shrugged off President Barack Obama’s threat to veto legislation to cut federal spending by trillions of dollars on Monday while simultaneously negotiating with him over more modest steps to avert a potential government default. The Republican bill demands deep spending reductions and congressional approval of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution in exchange for raising the nation’s debt limit. But Obama will veto it if it reaches his desk, the White House said, asserting the legislation would “lead to severe cuts in Medicare and Social Security” and impose unrealistic limits on education spending. In response, GOP lawmakers said they would go ahead with plans to pass the bill on Tuesday. “It’s disappointing the White House would reject this commonsense plan to rein in the debt and deficits that are hurting job creation in America,” Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio said.

In response to a question about whether Anthony planned to cash in on her fame, her lead attorney Jose Baez told Fox News Channel late Sunday that she has “certain rights as an individual in this country.” Another former Anthony lawyer, Terry Lenamon, said he had no clue where she was headed, and that probably only a few people close to her knew. “I wouldn’t want anyone to know,” he said. “I think she needs to go underground and I think she needs to spend some time to get her life back together.” Anthony’s July 5 acquittal shocked and enraged many around the country who had been following the case since Caylee’s 2008 disappearance. Anger has spilled onto social media sites and elsewhere. Her legal team said on Friday it had received an emailed death threat. Her public vilification did not ease with her release from jail. “A baby killer was just set free!” Bree Thornton, 39, shouted as the SUV left the jail.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony’s whereabouts for her first week of freedom were a closely guarded secret Monday, known only to a select few as she tries to start a new life after being acquitted of killing her daughter. One of her lawyers says an elaborate plan was made to protect her from people with “the lynchmob mentality.” Her options for starting a new life could be limited by lawsuits pending against her, the scorn of multitudes who think she was guilty of the killing and a criminal record from her convictions for lying to police. She walked out of jail on Sunday, shortly after midnight. Her attorney Cheney Mason told NBC’s Today Show on Monday that he’s confident in Anthony’s safety, but declined to answer questions about where she was. “She’s gone, she’s safe and elaborate plans had to be made to keep the people away from her,” Mason said. “Her life is going to be very difficult for a very long time as long as there are so many people of the lynch-mob mentality.” Asked about how Anthony was paying for her fresh start, Mason replied that many volunteers have offered their help. Her notoriety could also help her earn money. Experts who have helped other notori-

Mexican parents recoup daughters via Internet testimony hearings

ASSoCIATed PreSS

Margarita Almaraz, second right, and Alfonso Mejia, left, embrace their two daughters, Ashanti, center, and Ashley upon their arrival at the airport in Mexico City on Monday. The parents were deported from the United States in 2009 after being caught without proper documents and could not get visas to appear to testify before U.S. courts for their daughters custody hearings but their lawyer convinced a court in Chester County, Pa., to accept the testimony via Skype. It is the first time a U.S. court has allowed testimony in a custody case to be made over the Web via Skype according to their lawyers. “That’s what we’re hoping, that this has opened a door,” said Agnew, who flew to Mexico City with the girls. “I think that this can be used as a model.” The case recalls a wellknown custody battle in 2010, when Mexican mother Cirila Balthazar Cruz won custody of her 1-year-old child, Ruby, after Mississippi authorities accused her of being an unfit mother. Like that case, there were allegations in Pennsylvania of physical abuse, by Mejia against two of Almaraz’s children from a previous relationship. Their lawyers said the charges in both cases were unfounded and based on cultural misunderstandings.

The lawyers also noted that the allegations against Mejia were never proved, and said there was never any accusation of abuse against Ashley, 4, and Ashanti, 8, both of whom were born in the United States. Unfamiliar with U.S. legal proceedings and scared because they were undocumented migrants, the parents missed court dates and the state took the two girls away from them in 2009. The parents were subsequently deported. “They had already started the process to terminate the parental rights of the parents, to try to adopt the children out to an American family,” Agnew said. After the parents provid-

ed testimony via the Internet several times and proved they had undergone therapy and complied with court requirements, a judge ordered the girls returned to their parents. On Monday, the family was finally reunited after more than two years apart. “They were excited,” Almaraz said of her daughters’ reaction to the homecoming. Mejia said he hoped their case will help others in their plight. “I would like to make a call that this not only be a precedent, but that it be continued, to help us to make this a reality for other parents as well, so that they can be with their parents once again,” Mejia said.

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A European debt deal is “attainable” at an emergency EU summit Thursday, Greece’s finance minister said, signaling progress in talks between European governments and private bond holders in drawing up a new rescue deal for Greece. Evangelos Venizelos also told The Associated Press in an interview late Monday that Greece remains on VENIZELOS course to reach a primary budget surplus next year, despite missing key fiscal targets so far in 2011. Greece is enacting major economic reforms alongside an austerity program as it grapples with a national debt topping $477.5 billion that have brought it to the brink of default. Leaders of countries that use the euro are to attend the emergency talks in Brussels on Thursday, amid fears the fallout from Greece’s woes could spread to larger European countries. Borrowing costs in eurozone members Italy and Spain have risen alarmingly in recent days. “Reaching a solution is attainable because this solution does not only include Greece,” Venizelos said in his central Athens office. “At issue is the euro and the resilience of the eurozone. That is why protection of Greece is a self defense mechanism for the eurozone. That will help us avoid a domino effect.” He described the recent pressure on Italian and Spanish borrowing rates resulting from bets against those countries and the euro by financial speculators. “(We are witnessing) organized attacks on countries with very good macroecenomic data, such as Italy for example,” he said. “There is no panic, this is a very cool-

headed and well-organized attack.” Greece is being kept afloat in emergency loans from other eurozone members and the International Monetary Fund, but remains locked out of bond markets by high interest rates and will require a second bailout expected to involve a similar amount. “We want a solution that makes our national debt sustainable ... guarantees Greece’s borrowing needs until in mid-2014 when we foresee our return to the markets, and guarantees the liquidity of Greek banks,” Venizelos said. A new bailout deal is likely to involve banks and other Greek bondholders making voluntary contributions to deferring Athens’ debt payments. But rating agencies have warned private involvement could prompt them to further downgrade Greece credit status to selective default. Details of that potential arrangement are being negotiated at talks between European Union officials and private investors in Rome. Venizelos said Greece is hoping to avoid being placed under the selective default rating — an assessment that could plunge Europe’s worsening debt crisis into greater turbulence — and indicated progress had been achieved in Rome. “Our aim is to avoid even a selective default,” he said. “There are proposals that provide an answer to what is sought and at the same time do not permit ratings agencies to issue that rating.” He added: “I believe we will be able ... to achieve something which will be secure, positive for the viability of the public debt, and will safeguard Greece as a country and the Greek banking system.” Venizelos said Greece had already taken the toughest measures needed to steer the economy back to fiscal health.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Two girls ages 4 and 8 were reunited in Mexico with their deported migrant parents Monday, after the couple was allowed to offer testimony in custody hearings in Pennsylvania via Internet phone-and-image conferencing. and Mexican U.S. lawyers for the couple say it is the first time they know of that a U.S. court has allowed testimony in a custody case to be made over the Web, using voice and image conferencing via a service like Skype. The parents’ Mexican lawyer, Gustavo Garcia, said the cost of renting professional video conferencing facilities, which have been used in court testimony in the past, runs between $300 and $500 an hour. That amount is often prohibitive for parents deported from the U.S. Such couples often are sent home by U.S. authorities after being caught without proper documents, meaning it is very difficult to get visas to appear to testify before U.S. courts. They are left with a frustrating, long-distance battle they often can’t pay for. “We estimate that there very probably hundreds of such cases,” Garcia said shortly before the girls arrived at Mexico City’s international airport. The parents, Alfonso Mejia and Margarita Almaraz, live in a low-income neighborhood on the outskirts of the capital and said they don’t have much money. U.S. lawyer Deirdre Agnew helped persuade a court in Chester County, Pa., to accept the couple’s testimony via Skype. She said the lowcost alternative could offer hope to other families.

DENVER — Freddie Freeman Braves 7 homered Rockies 4 and drove in three runs and right-hander Derek Lowe handcuffed the Colorado Rockies over 6 1-3 innings in the Atlanta Braves’ 7-4 win Monday night. Lowe must have felt right at home in the unusually warm night in Colorado, and the sunshine actually helped him beat the Rockies for the second time in two weeks. Lowe’s ground ball to third base in the second in-

ning resulted in a two-run error on first baseman Todd Helton, who lost the throw in the setting sun, and ignited the Braves’ fifth win in five tries over the Rockies this month. Lowe (6-7) gave up four runs and eight hits over 6 1-3 solid innings on a 92-degree night, finally fading in the seventh when he left with a 7-2 lead and watched his bullpen allow two more runs. Rookie Craig Kimbrel recorded his 16th straight scoreless appearance, striking out the side in the ninth for his 29th save in 34 chances. Jason Hammel (5-9) ap-

East girls outshine Salisbury’s Holmes, Rankin have quiet nights BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

jon c. lakey/sALisBUrY post

salisbury’s Ayanna Holmes, left, puts pressure on Ja’Nesha ebron during the east-West All-star game Monday night.

GREENSBORO — Nineteen of the East 66 20 all-stars West 58 assembled for Monday’s East-West women’s basketball game were introduced to the crowd at Greensboro Coliseum and basked in modest applause. Salisbury’s Ayanna Holmes was the unfortunate one momentarily overlooked, but she handled the gaffe with her customary grace and good humor. She smiled, giggled and raised her arms in a helpless, whyme gesture as she stood alone in front of the West bench, while her coaches desperately tried to inform the public address announcer that she’d been left out. Finally, Holmes got 10 seconds or so of fame, trotting out solo to the loudest ovation of all. It would’ve made a nice story if the forgotten girl had turned in a memorable performance, but it was a relatively silent night for the defensive-minded Holmes, who scored three points and pulled down four rebounds. It also was a night on which Holmes’ SHS teammate Olivia Rankin would have loved a little quiet. All Rankin heard were whistles in the West’s 66-58 loss to an East team powered by the towering presence of ECU-bound MVP Courtney Melvin (18 points, 11 rebounds), whom Salisbury’s girls had twice bested in 2A

state championship game showdowns with East Bladen. “Probably the worst game of my life,” Rankin said with a sigh. “We knew defense was going to be the biggest part of this game, but things just didn’t work out for us.” Rankin and Holmes were acknowledged as academic all-stars before tip-off and both were in the starting lineup. After that, highlights were scarce. Rankin did get off to a nice start, creating a turnover on the East’s first possession and cleaning the defensive board on its second. Moments later, she scored her only point. But the first two minutes of the second quarter were pure disaster. Rankin picked up her second, third and fourth fouls in an exasperating span of less than two minutes. “I’d planned to play the two Salisbury girls together as much as I could,” West coach Mike Norman said. “But the East team had a bunch of physical bangers, and ‘Big Easy’ — that’s what I call Olivia — got into foul trouble. You want to play everybody, and the last thing you expect in an all-star game is foul trouble, but we had to take her out.” The 6-1 Rankin, headed to UNC Charlotte, mostly got in trouble trying to help out teammates.

Clarke lives it up after Open victory BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

SANDWICH, England — Darren Clarke’s bleary, bloodshot eyes told it all. The party began shortly after he walked off the 18th green at Royal St. George’s with the claret jug in hand. Beer and red wine flowed through the night, the revelry not letting up until Clarke had to return Monday morning for a few more interviews and some picture-taking at the spot where he tapped in the final putt to win the British Open.

“I have not been to bed yet,” Clarke said. “I probably won’t get any sleep until tomorrow at some stage. You have to enjoy it while you can. “It’s been,” he added mischievously, “a very good night.” Clarke sure earned it. No one had ever gone more than 15 British Opens before winning. Clarke did it on his 20th try at 42, making him the oldest firsttime major winner since Roberto de Vicenzo in 1967. But that only tells part of the story. Clarke lost his wife, Heather, to cancer

five years ago, leaving him to raise two young boys. Not surprisingly, his focus on the course wavered, which sent him plummeting out of the top 100 in the world. It had been a decade since he was a serious contender in a major — he didn’t even qualify for the three majors that preceded the Open. “I definitely appreciate an awful lot more what I’ve achieved,” Clarke said. “Ten years ago, I did take an awful lot of things for granted.” His parents and new love, fiancee Alison Camp-

bell, were at Royal St. George’s to cheer him. Clarke’s two boys stayed home in Northern Ireland, but he phoned them shortly after his three-stroke victory over Americans Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. “Tyrone, my oldest one, was very pleased, very proud,” Clarke said. “He was going to tell everybody his dad was Open champion.” And Conor, his youngest? “He wanted to know

Hall of Famer improving HOUSTON (AP) — Tests done Monday on Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan showed no new heart problems for the Hall of Fame pitcher, who was hospitalized after experiencing discomfort over the weekend. Ryan, 64, “continues to improve,” the Rangers said in a statement. He is expected to be released from a Houston hospital in a day or two. Ryan has a pre-existing heart condition that will continue being treated with medication, according to the team’s statement. He had a double-bypass operation in 2000 and has a family history of heart disease. He sought treatment after experiencing discomfort Sunday morning while at his home in Georgetown, located about 170 miles northwest of Houston. Ryan had been expected to join the Rangers in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday night for the start of a three-game series between his AL West-leading club and the Angels, who are in second place, four games back. He was scheduled to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and to take part in a ceremony inducting Gene Autry, the Angels’ late owner, into the team’s Hall of Fame. Ryan holds the records for most no-hitters (seven) and strikeouts (5,714).

Red Sox pound O’s with 16 hits Associated Press The AL roundup... BALTIMORE — Dustin Pedroia doubled in two runs to spark an eight-run eighth inning, and Boston got home runs from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Josh Reddick in a 15-10 rout of Baltimore on Monday night. Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis and Darnell McDonald had three RBIs apiece for the Red Sox, who have won 13 of 15. The run includes a 16-inning, 1-0 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday night in which Boston had only five hits. The Red Sox had 16 hits in their seventh straight victory over the Orioles. Boston has outscored Baltimore 61-32 during that span. Pedroia hit a tiebreaking two-run double off Mike Gonzalez (1-2) to make it 9-7. J.J. Hardy and Adam Jones homered for the Orioles, who have lost 10 of 12. Dan Wheeler (2-1) got the win with 2 1-3 innings of nohit relief for starter Tim Wakefield. Yankees 5, Rays 4. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Russell Martin drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the top of the ninth to give New York the win. Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira, Brett Gardner and Eduardo Nunez also drove in

runs for the second-place Yankees, who rallied from a 4-1 deficit to remain 11/2 games behind Boston in the AL East. Rookie left-hander Alex Torres (0-1) yielded the winning run in his major league debut after New York loaded the bases on Curtis Granderson’s single, an intentional walk to Nick Swisher and another walk to Andruw Jones. David Robertson (3-0) pitched a perfect eighth inning, striking out two to get the victory. Mariano Rivera worked a one-two-three ninth to earn his 24th save in 28 opportunities. Indians 5, Twins 2, 1st game Indians 6, Twins 3, 2nd game MINNEAPOLIS— Lou Marson hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the seventh inning and Cleveland completed a doubleheader sweep with a 6-3 victory over Minnesota, kicking off a fourgame series with two wins. Marson doubled and scored in the fifth against Scott Diamond, who was making his major league debut for Minnesota. Fausto Carmona (5-10) came off the disabled list and won for only the second time in his last 12 starts, allowing two runs in six innings.

Kevin Youkilis had three RBis for Boston on Monday. Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer to lift the Indians to a 5-2 win in the first game and added an RBI single in the second. The Twins fell seven games behind the Indians. Travis Hafner had two hits and two RBIs in the second game, and Michael Brantley finished with five hits. Minnesota’s Joe Mauer had three hits in each game, but Carmona picked up where David Huff (1-0) left off. Returning from a strained right quadriceps muscle, Carmona allowed seven hits, struck out one and walked none. The Twins couldn’t have

expected too much more from their fill-in starters. Anthony Swarzak, summoned from the bullpen for the opener, pitched six innings, giving up four runs, three earned. White Sox 5, Royals 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mark Buerhle lasted seven innings in another impressive start, and Chicago capitalized on an error by Kansas City shortstop Alcides Escobar. Buehrle (7-5) hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in his last 14 starts dating to April 22. The veteran left-hander allowed five hits while winning for the first time since June 9.

Buehrle struck out three and walked one. Kyle Davies (1-9) was saddled with his eighth consecutive loss. Davies hasn’t won since beating Minnesota on April 13 and is 0-3 since going on the disabled list with inflammation in his right rotator cuff. He set a career high with nine strikeouts in 5 13 innings. Escobar threw the ball away while trying to start a double play on a routine grounder with the game tied in the sixth inning. Mark Teahan followed run-scoring groundout and Juan Pierre hit an RBI double for a 4-2 lead.

Cubs use back-to-back homers to beat Phils Associated Press The NL roundup... CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez and Carlos Pena homered to back a dominant start by Rodrigo Lopez, and Chicago beat Philadelphia 6-1 on Monday night as Phillies ace Roy Halladay left the game because of the heat. Halladay doubled over and was visited by a trainer after Starlin Castro led off the fifth inning with a single. Drew Carpenter came in to replace him. Halladay was drenched in sweat on a humid night in which the game-time temperature was 91. The heat clearly affected him. He gave up three runs and seven hits and took his first loss since May 15. This was Halladay’s shortest outing since he pitched three innings for Toronto against Florida on June 12, 2009. Ramirez gave the Cubs a

1-0 lead in the first with his 17th homer. Chicago added two runs in the third on Ramirez’s bases-loaded sacrifice fly and Pena’s RBI single. Lopez gave up a leadoff homer to Jimmy Rollins in the fourth. He allowed five hits in 6 2-3 innings. Nationals 5, Astros 2 HOUSTON — Michael Morse and Ryan Zimmerman homered and Zimmerman drove in the go-ahead run in the ninth inning for Washington. Laynce Nix added two insurance runs with an RBI single after Zimmerman’s hit in the ninth off Houston starter Jordan Lyles (0-5). The rookie allowed five hits and four runs with six strikeouts in the longest outing of his career to remain winless in ninth career start. Morse homered in the fifth inning and Zimmerman’s came in the seventh.

Washington starter Jason Marquis (8-4) yielded six hits and two runs with a season high-tying nine strikeouts to get his first win since June 10. Marlins 4, Mets 1 NEW YORK — Clay Hensley came off the disabled list to win his first major league start in three years for Florida. Mike Stanton hit a two-run double and slumping Mike Cameron followed with an RBI single for the Marlins, who have won nine of 10. Florida improved to 15-9 under 80-year-old manager Jack McKeon, who took over after Edwin Rodriguez abruptly resigned late in the team’s 1-19 June swoon. In the makeup of a May 17 rainout, Hensley (1-2) allowed one hit over five scoreless innings against a depleted Mets lineup. It was his 41st big league start — but first since July 24, 2008,

for San Diego at Pittsburgh. The right-hander made 20 relief appearances this season before a sprained shoulder sidelined him June 1. A double by Willie Harris in the first inning was the only hit given up by Hensley, who struck out three and walked two in an 84-pitch outing. Michael Dunn, Edward Mujica, Randy Choate and Leo Nunez completed the three-hitter. Diamondbacks 3, Brewers 1 PHOENIX — Josh Collmenter pitched eight innings of three-hit ball for his first win in six weeks and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-0 Monday night in the opener of their four-game series. The right-hander retired 21 of his last 22 batters in the longest outing of his rookie season. Yuniesky Betancourt reached on a bunt single leading off the sixth for Milwaukee’s only hit during the

stretch. Collmenter (5-5) struck out a career-best seven and walked none while running his scoreless streak to 14 innings, all against the Brewers over his last two starts. Pirates 2, Reds 0 PITTSBURGH — Charlie Morton pitched five shutout innings and the Pittsburgh Pirates moved into first place in the crowded NL Central with a 2-0 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Monday night. Pittsburgh kicked off an important two-week stretch by shutting down the Reds after Morton (8-5) extricated himself from a bases-loaded jam in the first inning following a lengthy rain delay to win for the first time since June 15. The right-hander gave up three hits, striking out three and walking two.

peared to get out of a basesloaded, no-out jam when he induced a routine ground ball from Lowe with two outs in the second inning, but Ty Wigginton’s throw was higher than Helton wanted and he lost it in the sun, allowing Freeman and Dan Uggla to score. Because the throw was on line, Helton was charged with the error, the second costly miscue by the usually sure-handed first baseman in three days. He booted another ball in the ninth and was charged with an error before the official scorer changed it to an infield hit for Freeman, his third of the night. He also had a fielder’s choice ground ball that scored Lowe, who led off with a single, to make it 7-1. One night after his first career game-winning hit, a single that lifted Atlanta past Washington 9-8, Freeman delivered again for the Braves, driving a fastball in the third inning into the rock pile in center for a tworun homer, the rookie’s 14th. One out later, Eric Hinske sent another firstpitch fastball into the rightfield seats for his ninth homer and a 5-0 lead. Hammel allowed six runs, four earned, and eight hits in five innings. The Rockies were limited to Helton’s RBI single until the seventh, when Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki hit run-scoring bloop singles and Helton added a sacrifice fly. The Braves swept a fourgame series from the Rockies just before the All-Star break, sending Colorado into a nosedive that has spawned speculation that ace Ubaldo Jimenez could be traded just a year after starting the All-Star game for the National League. Jimenez, who is signed for the next three years at just under $18 million and says he wants to stay in Colorado, has rebounded from a slow start caused in part by nagging thumb and hip injuries. He takes the mound for the Rockies on Tuesday night. NOTES: Braves RF Jason Heyward was scratched from the lineup because of a bruised left foot. Heyward, who was hit by a pitch Sunday against Washington, was replaced by Nate McLouth. ... 3B Chipper Jones, on the 15-day DL following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee July 9, has joined Atlanta’s Triple-A team to begin a rehab assignment later this week. ...

Clarke has always been a guy who lived life to the fullest, so it’s only appropriate that he passed on that attitude to his children.

Howard thinks about Europe

Abby Wambach walks off the field after the U.s. dropped its final match to Japan sunday.

Soccer makes gains in U.S. BY JIM LITKE Associated Press

Let’s begin by not overstating the case. Predictions of a soccer boom in America have done more to hamstring the development of the world’s game here than all those well-organized, well-meaning parents who became youth coaches with no more than a vague idea of how it’s played. And just so we’re clear, there will be no explosion this time, either. After the U.S. women stunned Brazil and just about everybody else in a quarterfinal match at the Women’s World Cup, I wrote that if Americans didn’t fall in love with soccer after that, well, maybe they never would. They did. For exactly a week. But that’s how plenty of love affairs go: torrid one day, indifferent the next. Plenty of Americans already love soccer. Anybody who doubts that should check out the exhibitions being played here this month featuring several of Europe’s top clubs — among them, Manchester United, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Most of their games will draw crowds that make last week’s MLB All-Star exhibition look like the softball game at a company picnic. The overnight TV rating for the finale was 8.6, more than tripling Sunday’s marquee event for the boys — the British Open — yet finishing as the second mostwatched women’s soccer game ever, trailing the 11.4 posted in the win over Brazil

eight days ago. If you didn’t get enough of the U.S. women last week, don’t worry. They’ll be on the latenight and early morning TV circuit this week. Traffic on social media was more eyepopping still, generating at its peak more tweets-persecond than either Britain’s royal wedding or the announcement of Osama Bin Laden’s death. But there’s no need to waste time wondering whether soccer will ever be as popular on these shores as the big three of football, baseball and basketball. It won’t, for the next decade at least, for reasons we’ll get to below. Since long-term relationships are built on learning, the better question is what Americans learned that they didn’t know after all the previous predictions of booms that never materialized: two previous U.S. women’s cup wins (1991 and 1999), playing host to the men’s cup in 1994, the creation of domestic leagues for both sexes.. If we’re being optimistic, the answer is this: We finally saw a U.S. team playing a style that we could call our own. If asked, every coach and ballplayer will concede a team learns more from a loss than a win. So it was again Sunday, when a determined Japanese team used the same grit and hustle that’s been the hallmark of every U.S. soccer team, men or women, on a superior squad of Americans. That’s how the U.S. women beat Brazil and then in the semifinal, France, teams that featured more tal-

ented individuals and a better understanding of the game. But a funny thing happened on the way to the final. U.S. coach Pia Sundhage, a Swede who played for her national team, knew only too well how fast the gap was closing between the American women and the rest of the world in terms of resources, organization and even quality athletes. She had already laid the groundwork for her squad to rely less on athleticism and more on technique; to play the way the best of the rest of the world does by moving the ball quickly and accurately under pressure. That Sundhage moved the strategy from the training ground to the pitch for the biggest match of their careers shows how much faith she had in this bunch. Even more than American football, soccer is a game of possession and finishing a few scoring chances.. The U.S. women succeeded at the first task, but came away with nothing too many times from the opening minute of the match through the final penalty kick. Even so, they came away with something. Up until now, the closest thing to a coherent playing style any American squad displayed on a world stage is what the English used to call “hit and hope.” It involves defending countless attacks as if your life depended on it, then booting the ball up the field and hoping a teammate latches onto it — and somehow beats a crowd of defenders to score. But this one time, even in

With a rare off week ahead before heading to Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400, the celebration will be a long one. But once the glow wears off, Stewart-Haas Racing has two crucial questions to answer: Where were these kinds of runs all season? What must be done to crank it up and contend? Newman has been a more consistent driver than his boss, Stewart. Newman’s win, his first since April 2010, was his sixth top-five this season. He finished fourth the previous race at Kentucky and showed flashes in other races of coming so close to taking the checkered flag. “We’ve been really good for three-quarters of the race, then we’ll come home fourth, fifth, 10th, not maybe make the right call, strategy, whatever it is, to put ourselves in the box of top five to close out the race,” Newman said. “There have been times where we had failures, bad pit stops. All those things add up.” Stewart, a two-time Cup champion, hasn’t had the kind of consistent up-front

With seven races left until the field is frozen, both drivers have positioned themselves to be in the hunt for a spot. Newman solidified his place with the victory and is eighth in the standings. The top-10 drivers automatically earn a spot. Two spots in the Chase will go to

a loss, the U.S. women stuck their foot in the door and let their countrymen glimpse a wider world of possibilities. Given their legacy and continuing success, it’s only fitting that they’d be the first to break through soccer’s glass ceiling in America. The guess here is that you’ll see the benefits as soon as next summer, at the London Olympics, and not just because the U.S. women will be out for vengeance. They never lacked for motivation and they’ve already learned the game’s most important lesson. Now it’s the men’s turn. It’s been a black mark on their record that a nation of 300 million has yet to produce even one striker good enough to sit on the bench of world powers like Spain, Brazil, Argentina, England or the Netherlands, let alone play in the first team. Anyone who thinks they’re getting their fair share of elite athletes should consider what the NBA’s dozen best point guards could do with a soccer ball if they grew up playing the game. So it’s long past time to hope we hit that jackpot. It’s time to start developing players who can tame the ball with their feet, move it and get it back with enough time and space to carve the same wide swath through the World Cup as their female counterparts. There will be plenty of time before then to start talking about a soccer boom.

the winningest drivers ranked between 11 and 20. Stewart knows a win would but all but guarantee him a place in the field. The standings bear that out. He’s 11th even though he has the same point total as 10th-place driver Denny Hamlin. But Hamlin has one win, leaving Dale Earnhardt Jr. the only driver in the top 10 without a victory. Newman’s crew chief, Tony Gibson, said this may have been the best three days in the brief history of SHR, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the season is magically turned around. Whatever they hit on worked, and it’s up to every member of both teams to keep the momentum going into the Chase. “We kind of got off track a little bit this year,” he said. “I think we’re just trying to make sure we head back in the right direction. Grab everybody by the arms, tug ‘em, bring ‘em in, head down that road instead of going down two roads. For us it’s not one guy is doing a bad job, it’s a matter of everybody doing a good job.” Stewart is heading into one of his better tracks. Stewart has two Cup victories at Indy and a third and a fifth the last two years. Newman has only one career top 10 at Indy in 10 career starts.

Associated Press The NBA notebook... FAIRBURN, Ga. — Dwight Howard’s frustration with the NBA lockout has caused the Orlando Magic star to strongly consider playing overseas. In an exclusive interview Sunday with The Associated Press, Howard said he would consider playing in China or Europe if the NBA lockout doesn’t end. Howard, a five-time AllStar who led Orlando to the NBA finals in 2009, stopped short of saying he’s in contract discussions with teams overseas. “I’m not at liberty to talk about it,” he said, “but there’s a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball.” New Jersey guard Deron Williams said recently after signing with a team in Turkey that Howard could become a worldwide star if he played in China. Howard, who hosted a celebrity basketball game Sunday at Langston Hughes High School to raise money for his charity, didn’t disagree. “The big thing for me is not giving too much information away, but at the same time I still need to let people know what’s going on with me,” Howard said. “I don’t want to just sit over here and forget about basketball and waste, you know, opportunities for me to get better.” PORTER INTERVIEWED MINNEAPOLIS — Ter-

ry Porter spent 17 seasons in the NBA as a point guard, a two-time All-Star who helped Portland reach the NBA finals and was regarded as one of the smartest players at his position. With helping Ricky Rubio make the transition from Spain to the United States one of David Kahn’s biggest priorities, it’s no wonder that Porter was the first person to get a formal interview for the Minnesota Timberwolves coaching vacancy. A person with knowledge of the meeting told The Associated Press that Porter interviewed on Monday. The person requested anonymity because the team was not commenting publicly on the search process. Porter’s previous experience as a head coach — in Milwaukee and Phoenix — and his background as a point guard could make him an ideal fit in Minnesota, which is coming off 32 total wins in two seasons under Kurt Rambis. PACERS COMPLETE STAFF INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers have hired Jim Boylen as assistant coach, rounding out Frank Vogel’s staff. The Pacers had previously introduced Brian Shaw as associate head coach and kept Dan Burke as an assistant. Boylen was head coach at the University of Utah from 2007 to 2011. In the NBA, he earned two championship rings as an assistant for the Houston Rockets before stints as an assistant at Golden State and Milwaukee.

Bush family takes back Heisman Associated Press

The college football notebook... SAN DIEGO — Reggie Bush’s family has taken back a copy of his 2005 Heisman Trophy from a San Diego sports museum. The San Diego Hall of Champions said it returned the trophy to the family on Friday and declined further comment. The museum received the trophy from the family in March but never displayed it. The Heisman Trust stopped recognizing Bush as the winner after an NCAA probe concluded that Bush and his family accepted improper benefits from would-be sports agents while Bush was still playing for USC. Bush later relinquished his title to it. The news was first reported Monday by the San Diego Union-Tribune. The newspaper said a call to the Bush family to see whether they plan to keep the trophy or return it to the trust wasn’t returned. TYLER SUSPENDED Southern California tailback Marc Tyler has been suspended from all team activities and the Trojans’ season opener for comments he made to TMZ that implied he gets paid to play for USC. When asked by TMZ whether he could make more money at USC or in the NFL, Tyler said, “USC, they breaking bread,” making a gesture indicating a large stack of money. USC coach Lane Kiffin suspended his leading rusher Monday for the Sept. 3 opener against Minnesota and possibly longer. The fifth-year senior is facing potential discipline from the school after what he said were two alcohol-related problems in April. “I am disappointed that I let down all the people who have supported me as I have been working through some personal issues,” Tyler said in a statement released by the school. “I realize how my behavior and my statements, even though I was joking, can re-

flect poorly on so many people. As a veteran player, I should know that my job is to be an example for the younger guys.” PETRINO’S SON ARRESTED LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino says the arrest of his son on DWI and drug charges is a family and legal matter and doesn’t concern the Razorback football team. Police in the southern Indiana city of Huntingburg said 23-year-old Dominic R. Petrino of Fayetteville was arrested at 12:06 a.m. Monday. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, possession of marijuana, illegal possession of prescription drugs and possession of paraphernalia. The coach said in a message to The Associated Press that he and his wife won’t comment further about the incident. A police report says the younger Petrino was stopped after weaving off a roadway. Police say a blood test showed the presence of marijuana and prescription opiates. He was released on $1,000 bond later Monday. TOLEDO POINT SHAVING DETROIT — A former University of Toledo running back pleaded guilty Monday to working with a Detroit gambler accused of placing bets on football and basketball games, the third exRocket to be convicted in a point-shaving probe. Harvey “Scooter” McDougle Jr. of Cleveland said he accepted more than $5,000 from Ghazi “Gary” Manni in exchange for information about the Rockets in 2004-05. McDougle pleaded guilty to conspiracy to influence sports through bribery. The former player said he talked to Manni on “numerous occasions” and also met with him in Detroit. “He knowingly and voluntarily joined the conspiracy,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Saima Mohsin said. The government doesn’t allege that McDougle, now 26, altered his on-field performance to suit gamblers. But investigators have said he played a key role in recruiting basketball players to consider shaving points.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Donald Edwin Harrison and wife, Nellie D. Harrison. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

On oats and celiac disease Dear Dr. Gott: I have just been told I have celiac disease. I know I can’t have wheat/rye/barley. What about oats? Are there any other dos and don’ts? Dear Reader: This digestive condition, also known as celiac sprue, nontropical sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is triggered by gluten, a substance found mainly in breads, cookies, pastas and other foods that contain wheat, rye and barley. When DR. PETER foods containing gluten are GOTT consumed, the common result is abdominal pain, bloating and diarrhea. Over time, malabsorption of nutrients can occur, resulting in deficiencies that deprive the entire body of necessary nourishment. Less common side effects include anemia, skin rash, osteoporosis, depression and cramping. As with many diseases and disorders, there are other conditions that can mimic celiac disease. They include irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease and gastric ulcers. Therefore, diagnosis is critical. This might be accomplished through diet modification to eliminate any food items that contain gluten, and blood testing to determine if higherthan-normal levels of specific antibodies are found. Another option is biopsy of intestinal tissue collected via endoscopy, or through capsule endoscopy that utilizes a minuscule camera that -- believe it or not —

is encased in a pill-sized capsule. If a patient fails to receive treatment, malabsorption of specific foods can lead to malnutrition. A loss of calcium can lead to osteoporosis, seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and an increased risk of intestinal or bowel cancer. Obviously, the first step is a simple one: Eliminate wheat, barley, rye, bulgur, farina, semolina, triticale, spelt, graham flour and durum. Other items to be avoided, unless identified as gluten-free, include beer, candies, gravies, imitation seafood and imitation meats, salad dressings, soy sauce and soups. Oats fall into this category since they run the risk of becoming contaminated with wheat during the growing and processing stages of production. It remains unclear whether oats are actually harmful, but it is best to avoid them unless they are specifically labeled as being glutenfree. This list may appear extremely restrictive, but you can still eat rice, cornmeal, quinoa, tapioca, fruits, vegetables, fresh meats, poultry and fish. Because of the many people who have celiac disease or who are gluten-sensitive, more and more products have become available. If questions remain, you might benefit by seeing a dietitian at your local hospital or health care facility who can get you on the right track. Follow your doctor’s advice and, above all else, modify your diet accordingly.

“stopper” is Dial soap. A friend of mine said to take a wet finger, rub it on the soap, then on the oncoming cold sore. Stops it in its tracks every time. also use cherries for gout as per your suggestion. They work for me. Dear Reader: The active ingredient in Dial Gold is triclocarban. Beyond that, there are approximately 20 inactive ingredients, including sodium chloride, pentasodium and sodium pentetate, titanium dioxide and sodium cocoate. Triclocarban contains antibacterial and anti-fungal properties used as disinfectants in many products. In fact, an estimated 1 million pounds of the product are imported annually for the U.S. market alone. Many of the inactive ingredients appear to have a sodium base. With the known healing properties of salt alone, the combination might be a winning one. As a point of interest, cold sores are caused by viruses, yet triclorocarban is not an anti-viral agent, so why and how it works is beyond me. Readers who would like additional home remedies can order my Health Reports “Compelling Home Remedies” and “More Compelling Home Remedies” by sending a self-addressed, 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. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Tuesday, July 19 During the next year, you’re likely to discover two new ways to put your talents and abilities to profitable use. Properly exploited and developed, these resources will multiply your resources and earnings. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Although you have ample smarts upon which to draw, you could be indifferent to what your common sense is telling you and, instead of using it productively, squander your brain’s input. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you’re putting a social gathering together, select friends who get along with one another. Even one misfit in the group could spoil the enjoyment for everybody else. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Placing faith in your talents and capabilities will help make your lot in life a heck of a lot easier regardless of what you do. Conversely, if you don’t think you’re hot, you won’t be. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Regardless of how good your intentions are, you must still be extremely careful about how you handle your close friends. One or two could still read something in your demeanor that you don’t mean. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Be careful not to make it look like you’re gratifying your personal ambitions by using your friends to get back at someone you dislike and want to punish. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You should make concessions instead of causing complications. If you fail to yield to those with whom you’re involved, they aren’t apt to give an inch, either. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you’re taking over a situation that another was handling poorly, make sure you do things in a manner that doesn’t make it look like his or her mistakes are yours. Pluck them out as soon as you can. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You might find out that you haven’t been on as firm a footing in your financial affairs as you thought you were. Unless you take steps to correct it now, things could get worse. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Even if most people you encounter seem to be bending over backward to assist you, one person in particular won’t fit into this classification. She or he could be trying to block your path. Aries (March 21-April 19) — If you find yourself involved with people against whom you hold an old grudge, try to forgive and forget. You’re only hurting yourself by keeping the memory alive. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Know when to turn off the input of others regarding a money matter. You have a knack for finances, so don’t let the negativity of others cause you to go against your conclusions. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — If you are indifferent to your own resourcefulness and ingenuity, achieving your goals may be difficult. Impressive attainment isn’t likely to happen by ignoring your smarts. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Their play tells you the play BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

John Mason Brown, a drama critic who died in 1969, said, "He played the king as if afraid someone else would play the ace." That happens at the bridge table occasionally, but in this deal, the way someone plays a queen gives away the location of a king. Sounds weird, but bridge is sometimes like that. South is in six hearts. How should he plan the play after West leads the diamond jack? Two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing four or more hearts with at least gameforcing values. South rebid what he hoped he could make. Note that it would have been danger-

ous to use Blackwood. Yes, if North had four kings, South could have bid seven, hoping there was some way to avoid a late diamond loser. But here North would have shown three kings with a six-spade bid, forcing South to settle for six no-trump (which can be made with good guesswork) or seven hearts (which cannot). After taking the first trick in his hand, South should draw trumps, cash the club ace, play a club to dummy's king, ruff a club in his hand, cross to the diamond king, and ruff another club. Then he casts adrift with his last diamond, hoping to endplay the opponent with the spade king. Note that if East wins the third diamond with his queen, he is caught. But a good defender will throw his queen under dummy's king, so that West wins the third diamond.

However, when West now leads a low spade, declarer should know to call for dummy's 10. Why? Because if East did not have the spade king, he would have made sure that he won the third diamond trick.

It’s Sprinkles vs. Pink Sprinkles in cupcake wars NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Candace Nelson plays a judge on the Food Network’s reality television show “Cupcake Wars.” But now her cupcake company has taken up a legal fight of its own against an upstart business. Nelson’s company, Sprinkles Cupcakes, is so frosted that it filed a federal trademark-infringement lawsuit Friday in Connecticut against a store named Pink Sprinkles. The lawsuit claims the similarity in names is likely to cause confusion in the marketplace. “The resulting confusion will damage Sprinkles and injure its reputation in the

trade and with the public,” the lawsuit says. The lawsuit says Sprinkles opened its first store in Beverly Hills in 2005 and became a national phenomenon as the cupcakes were featured on shows hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart and others. Sprinkles, which is based in Texas, has stores in New York, Washington, D.C., California, Dallas, Houston and Scottsdale and is planning to open several more around the country and in London, Paris and Toronto. Pink Sprinkles opened in 2009 and calls itself “Fairfield’s first cupcake bou-

tique.” Sprinkles has repeatedly requested that Pink Sprinkles “promptly transition to a new name” but it has refused, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit seeks damages and to make Pink Sprinkles stop using the name. Sprinkles will have to prove consumers are likely to confuse its cupcake with Pink Sprinkles, said Jessica Litman, a law professor at the University of Michigan who teaches trademark law. She said Sprinkles is a common name for a bakery, the websites are different and the two businesses are not in the same market.

Hot and uncomfortable conditions persist across the Central US on Tuesday, due to a stagnant ridge of low pressure over the Eastern half of the country. The system will continue pushing warm and moist air from the South, allowing for high temperatures to reach 90s and 100s across the Plains, Midwest, Mid-Mississippi River Valley, and up the Ohio River Valley. The high atmospheric moisture pushes heat index values even higher, ranging between 110 and 120 degrees. In the East, a cold front that produced scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Great Lakes, New England, and Northeast will slightly advance southward. Thus, expect more scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Northeast to the Tennessee Valley. Further south, onshore flow of warm and humid air from the Gulf of Mexico to the surrounding shores will produce more showers and thunderstorms. Ample humidity will allow for some strong storm development with periods of heavy downpours. To the east, Tropical Storm Bret, located just east of Florida will continue moving northeastward and further away from land. The storm is not expected to strengthen and landfall is not likely. Out West, monsoon moisture moving in from northern Mexico allows for monsoonal storms to return to the deserts of the Southwest. Flash flooding associated with heavy downpours are possible. As usual, these storms will be strongest in the afternoon and evening hours.
