Club no more: Liqwid closes its doors after fight BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost.com

A downtown club that has been the scene of large fights is now closed. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said Monday afternoon that Club Liqwid has closed. Collins said a weekend party that turned into a large fight was apparently the final event at the club at 127 S. Main St. An off-duty police officer awaiting backup as fights broke out reported hearing two gunshots. No injuries were reported, but police did find a handgun under a car. Collins said Monday morning that he planned to turn up the heat on the bar; the closing was announced Monday afternoon. Police were talking with the state Alcohol Law Enforcement

Saturday night, up to 250 people were involved in a large fight outside of the club. about the incidents and the club’s alcohol permits. The latest incident occurred Saturday night around 11:40 p.m. An officer working off-duty outside Benchwarmers on Fisher Street heard a commotion on Main Street. Walking toward the area, he said there were 200 to 250 people outside Club Liqwid in the street with several fights taking place. The officer called for backup, with Salisbury officers and some from other agencies responding. Collins said the officer, who was by himself, waited for other offi-

cers to arrive before trying to break up the fights and disperse the crowd. During the interval, the officer heard two shots fired from the west side of Main Street. The officer didn’t see who fired the shots. With the sound of gunfire, some of the crowd begin dispersing. The rest of the crowd cleared out as more police officers arrived. Collins said police aren’t sure the handgun found under a car was the one fired. No one was charged in the inci-

Bus to serve Granite Quarry, Rockwell and Faith BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

GRANITE QUARRY — Public transportation in Rowan County took a step forward Monday with the full-blown start of bus service to the towns of Rockwell, Faith and Granite Quarry. Rowan Express East offers a 14-passenger bus traveling a 22mile, hour-and-20-minute loop seven times a day from MondayFriday. The route will start each day at the East branch of Rowan Public Library in Rockwell at 6:55 a.m. and take an inbound course, stopping at the Food Lion in Rockwell, the Saleeby-Fisher YMCA on Crescent Road, Faith Baptist Church, Brinkley Center in Granite Quarry, Fred’s department store in Granite Quarry, the Rowan County Health and Social Services departments and the Salisbury bus transfer station on Depot Street. The bus then leaves Salisbury for eastern Rowan, making its stops in Granite Quarry, the YMCA, Rockwell and Faith before looping back to Granite Quarry, the Health and Social Services departments and the transfer station. The service ends each day at Faith Baptist Church at 6:12 p.m.

The cost of riding is $1 per passenger. Children under 5 ride free. Transfers from Rowan Express East to Salisbury transit or, farther south, the Concord-Kannapolis RIDER Transit System also are free. State transportation and local municipal and county officials gathered at Granite Quarry Town Hall Monday morning with a new Rowan Express East bus parked outside. Meanwhile, another Rowan Express East bus already was on the route and in service. N.C. Public Transportation Director Miriam Perry said Rowan Express East, a sister to the Rowan Express service started for southern Rowan County in April 2009, represents a regional transit vision that goes beyond municipal borders. Mayors Mary Ponds of Granite Quarry, Keith Deal of Faith, Susan Kluttz of Salisbury and Beau Taylor of Rockwell said the new bus service immediately connects their four communities. “If I seem to be excited, I am,” Ponds said. “... We have now added some fingers to the hand.” Kluttz noted this region’s status as a federal non-attainment area for air quality and said the bus service not only connects Today’s forecacst 96º/75º PM t-storms in spots

County commissioners agreed Monday to delay a decision about committing $250,000 for a housing project for homeless veterans, citing budget concerns and time constraints. “I think I need to look into it little bit more before making a decision on this very worthy cause,” said Chairman Carl Ford, who pointed out that he had only received detailed information about the project that day. “Our budget was passed just a few weeks ago, and it’s tough to come up with this money,” he said. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted 4-0 to bring the issue back up during its Aug. 2 meeting. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain did not attend Monday’s meeting. Scott Redinger, a housing consultant for the nonprofit group RHA Health Services, said he is seeking to develop a 24-unit homeless veterans’ group home. The project is called Liberty Square and would be located behind the Salisbury Mall. “RHA is going to connect veterans to services to help improve their life situation, so that in two years they can move out and be productive residents of the communities that they move into,” Redinger said. He said these services would include counseling, physical therapy, job preparation and education assistance. Hattie Johnson, home coordinator for the Hefner VA Medical Center in Salisbury, said homeless veterans are in need of transitional and permanent housing in this area. “The only housing that we really have in Salisbury for homeless veterans is the shelter, and that’s not housing,” Johnson said. Liberty Square would be a partnership between Redinger’s business, the Veterans Administration and local governments. Redinger said he intends to apply for a monthly subsidy provided by the VA on behalf of each housed veteran. Redinger said the VA will fund up to 65 percent of the development’s cost, and the other 35 percent must be raised from the local community, governments and foundations. The Salisbury City Council has approved a rezoning request for the project, Redinger said, and will hear a request for funding during today’s meeting. Funds committed by the county would not be due until 2013, Redinger said, when construction would be completed. Redinger said the RHA would definitely need commitments from the city and county by March 1, 2011, before applying to the VA for its per diem grant program. He is requesting those commitments before the RHA’s Aug. 5 application to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, which prefers that 20 percent of project funding already be committed.

Two men who work for Benchwarmers cleared out couches and other furniture from Club Liqwid Monday. Benchwarmers bought the furniture to clean and sell. A teen who heard of the fight and wanted to see what was going on was shot in the toe. In November, a fight that originated in Club Liqwid sent three people to the hospital for various cuts. Police said an extremely large crowd blocked South Main Street with multiple

fights. At the time, Chief Mark Wilhelm, Collin’s predecessor, said he planned to meet with ALE officers to discuss canceling the ABC permits for the club. According to the N.C. Alcoholic Beverage Commission website, Club Liqwid is owned by WT Entertainment LLC,

with Johnny Wayne Safford listed as the manager. Adam Smith is one of the past owners. The club has an on-premises malt beverage permit and a mixed-beverage private club permit. Both were issued July 9. The club was previously known as Club Zidi’s.

dent, but Spencer Police arrested one of the party-goers on outstanding warrants. According to police reports, a man had rented the club for a birthday party for his niece. The man’s name was not immediately available. Collins said police have had more problems with private party rentals at Club Liqwid than other night clubs. The chief said early Monday the clubs are still responsible for security. A series of fights at a private party at La Bamba on Klumac Road last August led to multiple charges. A police officer resigned after being filmed repeatedly hitting one of the party-goers and choking another. The Saturday night incident is one of a series of large fights police attribute to Club Liqwid. In June, the club held a graduation party for teens ages 15 to 18. Approximately 250 teens spilled into South Main Street with multiple fights.

BOARD FROM 1a An application for $500,000 from the N.C. Housing Finance Agency was submitted in March. Commissioner Jon Barber asked if there were plans to expand the facility. Redinger said the 24-unit group home would not meet the need in Rowan County — where 800 homeless veterans from various locations sought services in 2009 — so other transitional or permanent housing may be developed, but there are no current plans to expand. Commissioner Tina Hall requested more information and time. “We’re... kind of concerned about committing future funds when we’re not sure about what the future economy is going to be,” Hall said. “It’s kind of disconcerting, especially not knowing a great deal about your project.” Redinger said more information would be sent to commissioners and county staff for their review before the next meeting. Commissioners then began a discussion about the 2010-11 budget. Commissioner Chad Mitchell asked County Manager Gary Page to put together a list of options for coming up with $900,000 in budgeted N.C. Education Lottery money that the state will be witholding. “Give us a laundry list of things to choose from, from $900,000 from the fund balance to $900,000 worth of cuts,” Mitchell said. Page said he would work on the list. Also at Monday’s meeting, commissioners: • Approved an amendment on the county’s lease with the state for probation office space. • Approved the Board of Elections’ application for a $30,931 state grant. The money would be used to buy supplies for a new one-stop vot-

ing site at Spencer Fire Department and to pay salaries at all one-stop sites. Barber asked Page to request that a one-stop voting site at the Cleveland Town Hall be included in the grant application. Commissioners were unclear about whether

or not that site was already included, so Page said he would find out and make the request if it was not. • Approved Martin Marietta’s plan to allow four acres of property between U.S. 801 and Quarry Road to be used as a new site for Woodleaf

N.C. Department of Transportation Board Member Ralph Womble said riders in eastern Rowan County are, in fact, connected to the rest of the East Coast. A Rowan Express East passenger can easily take the bus to and from the Amtrak station in Salisbury. Womble said the new service reflects the N.C. Department of Transportation’s continuing efforts to change from being a highway center to an emphasis on all modes of transportation connecting people and places. The small bus is accessible to the handicapped and

board to advertise the service. Ernest Sharpe (mornings) and Elijah Summers (afternoons) will be the drivers for Rowan Express East, which will have one bus running at a time. On the Rowan Express South route, two buses are operating at one time. Fahnestock said Rowan Express South is “going well,” averaging 56 riders a day. On a recent day, it had 72 riders, he said.

Research Campus searches for vendor to open rent-free cafe BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — People at the N.C. Research Campus are hungry. While several restaurants surround the biotechnology complex in downtown Kannapolis, the campus itself lacks a place to grab a snack or a quick bite to eat, other than a few vending machines. “There are plenty of op-

tions, but not enough quick options,” said Beverly Jordan, director of community outreach for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Nutrition Research Institute. UNC-Chapel Hill, one of nine schools on campus, wants someone to open a cafe. And the university is offering free space in the Nutrition Research Institute

building. “If someone has an interest in helping us grow and is willing to do a little trial and error, we would love to work with them,” Jordan said. UNC-Chapel Hill will accept proposals from vendors until July 27. “Personally, I like the idea of having other eating options on campus,” said Justin Moore, an extension communication assistant for N.C.

State University who has worked on campus for a year and half. “It’s an interesting idea, and I will definitely check it out.” Moore usually brings his lunch from home, as does Eileen O’Flaherty, the administrative support associate for UNC-Greensboro. But if the campus had a cafe, O’Flaherty said she would use it. “We’re very excited about

the possibility,” she said. “I would prefer to not get in the car.” O’Flaherty said she would expect the menu to feature healthy items. Despite the health and nutrition focus of the Research Campus, which is owned by Dole Food Co. chairman and health nut David Murdock, UNC-Chapel Hill will not require a certain menu for the cafe, Jordan said.

“We want them to serve food that they think they can sell,” she said. “We are putting no limitation on the types of food or who can apply.” Applicants, however, “might be well-served to remember that this is a nutrition research center, and many people who work here are health-conscious,” Jordan added.

1 charged, another sought in stabbings BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury woman who was cut across the face early Saturday morning was charged Sunday morning with stabbing another Salisbury woman during an altercation. Around 1 a.m. Saturday morning, Tracy Lynn Silcox, 41, of Salisbury, called police after an acquaintance, Aszia Glenn, approached her near the 100 block of North Shaver Street, showed her a knife and cut her. Salisbury Chief of Police Rory Collins said Silcox was cut on the left side of her nose and next to her left eye. She refused medical treatment. A warrant is out for SILCOX Glenn, who will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. In a separate incident early Sunday morning, Silcox was charged with aggravated assault after allegedly stabbing Tracy Hefner. According to Collins, a Salisbury Police officer on foot patrol noticed a group of people outside a house at 618 E. Cemetery St. As Hefner approached the officer, the officer noticed a small puncture wound to her chest. Collins said Hefner told the officer she had just been stabbed, pointing to Silcox. The officer approached Silcox, who had a deep cut on one of her fingers, and asked her where the knife was. Silcox pointed to a nearby vehicle where the weapon — a pocketknife — was found. Hefner’s injury did not require medical treatment. Emergency medical personnel did treat Silcox. According to Collins, Hefner told the officer she and a man were walking down the street when Silcox, who was also walking with a male, approached them. “At that point Silcox jumped on Hefner and the two began to fight,” Collins said. “After they finished fighting, Hefner noticed Silcox had removed from somewhere (during the scuffle) a small pocketknife, and Hefner was bleeding from her chest.” Silcox was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, and received a $500 secured bond. Silcox has two aliases, Tracy Lynn Orbaker and Tracy Lynn Olena, and is well known to law enforcement. Silcox, who has several previous misdemeanor convictions, was recently released from jail after serving time for a 2007 larceny conviction.

Cultivating conservation Girls discover different aspects of environmental preservation during camp BY SUSAN SHINN Catawba College News Service

There was excitement in the air the week of July 11-16 as 54 rising sixth- and seventh-grade girls descended on Catawba College for the second annual Catawba Conservation Camp. All week, the girls rotated through environmental-based modules that centered on five areas of learning, forming the HIPOO acronym: • Habitat loss • Invasive species • Pollution • Overpopulation • Overharvesting Lab work took place inside the college’s Center for the Environment, but learning continued the moment the girls stepped out the back door. Beginning at 8 a.m. each day, the girls participated in field work. Field work ranges from a trip to Harris-Teeter to learn how to choose seafood in an environmentally correct way to trapping turtles, catching fish, banding birds and measuring water levels in the college’s 189-acre ecological preserve. The camp’s co-directors were Dr. Cyndi Osterhus, education professor, and Dr. Joe Poston, biology professor. The camp’s instructors included: Jennifer Board, a Catawba alumna and science teacher at Carson High School; Brittany Chester, a Catawba alumna and science teacher at West Rowan High School; Dr. Sue Calcagni, director of environmental programming at Catawba;

Additionally, 10 counselors from education or environmental studies spent all week with the girls, serving to enrich their classroom and overall camp experience. Lowery led her group of 11 campers —

clad in long pants, long-sleeved shirts, hats and boots — down a trail to the lake Monday. Their goal was to trap fish. Along the way, they examined Asian clams, an invasive species living in a small pond behind the Center.

Catawba’s ecological preserve looks, sounds different at night BY SUSAN SHINN Catawba College News Service

Visiting Catawba College’s ecological preserve at night is as different as — well, you know. Dr. Joe Poston led a group of 14 girls on a night walk at the preserve Monday, July 12 as part of the Catawba Conservation Camp. Other groups went to the preserve on successive nights. Each girl wore a headlamp and several carried large nets as they prepared to leave from the Center for the Environment. Darkness was falling fast as they

reached the lake. “Let’s circle up here,” Poston said, before encouraging the girls to explore the edges of the grassy area. The girls could use applications on their iPods — provided by the camp — to lure fireflies and frogs. Poston said that by training their lamps on the grass, they might see the silvery eyes of spiders. The girls wandered off alone or with a partner. “I think it’s real important to let them explore on their own,” Poston said. Flashlights and headlamps bobbed every which way in the growing darkness, the

girls chattering away. In short order, they found two turtles’ nests where the eggs had been plundered by raccoons, according to Poston. He then collected their iPods and they returned to the trails, single file, in search of frogs. Soon, they circled up again. Poston asked whether the girls ever got to go out on their own outside and a couple raised their hands. “Let’s turn off our lights and just listen awhile,” Poston urged the group, a tall order for middle-school girls.

low-hanging clouds provided a bit of light as Poston used his iPod to play a barred owl call, hoping to lure one from the woods. No luck. The girls were successful in finding a toad, which they deemed a mascot for their group, the frogs. The four other groups include ladybugs, lizards, turtles and fish. Finally, the group returned to the center just after 10 p.m. They were tired and after a long day, but would be ready for another adventure the next morning.

They could hear the chapel bells tolling the halfhour. A motorcycle screamed by in the distance. Then they heard the natural sounds of katydids and bush crickets. They continued into the “wilderness,” as some of the girls termed it, pausing to look at a “really cool” spider web. Eventually, the spider scampered on its way, as did the group. They hiked to a dry lake bed, the ground pocked with Freelance writer Susan deer tracks. Shinn is a full-time student City lights shining on the at Catawba College.

CONSERVATION FROM 4a

quickly swam away. Meanwhile, Poston was drying off a young robin that sixth-grader Laken Garney found in the water. “I’m fairly certain we can reunite it with its parents,” he said, drying off the drenched, squawking bird with a red bandanna. After a few minutes, Poston did just that, to the delight of Laken and the other girls. Laken, a student at Corriher-Lipe Middle School, said she felt good about helping the bird. Macayla Upright, a seventh-grader at Southeast Middle School, used her net enthusiastically. “I want to be a wildlife biologist when I grow up,” she said. “I wanted to work with all the female scientists here. I love it! It is so fun — but wet!” Back in the classroom, Macayla and Jamie DeVlieger dumped the contents of their bucket into an aquarium. They’d found several tiny fish and a couple of bugs. “It sounded really fun because my favorite subject is science,” said Jamie, a sixthgrader at Erwin Middle School who lives in Rockwell. Every moment at camp turned into a learning experience. At lunchtime, Poston explained to the girls about the word “ort” — which is leftover food. He measured the girls’ leftover food and beverages — and challenged them to submit less at the next meal. After lunch, Maren, who’d held a turtle earlier in the day, said that science is her favorite class at school. “I wanted to come because it sounded fun and so far, it is,” said the Cannon School sixth-grader. She was fascinated with the turtle traps. “There were so many other things outside that we didn’t expect to see but we did,” she said. The Catawba Conservation Camp, funded through a grant from Burroughs Wellcome Fund, is an effort to interest girls in the environmental sciences.

During the week, Lowery said, students start to understand how the modules relate to the environment, and really become classroom leaders in sharing information with their peers. Poston, who visited each module during the field work, noted that the girls might also catch glimpses of foxes, snakes, hawks, owls and ducks throughout the week. Breaking into groups of three or four, the girls in Lowery’s group ventured to the edge of the dark water, cicadas buzzing all around them. They began skimming their nets into the water, mostly bringing up sludge at first. Meanwhile, Board’s group was checking the turtle traps that had been set Sunday. Maren McCrary was attempting to hold a turtle “hamburger style,” encouraged by her counselor, Laura Ritchie. Board explained that the orangeeared sliders they were finding were a hybrid species. The girls then measured, weighed, and tagged these turtles, which are considered invasive species. This was Ritchie’s second year as a conservation camp counselor. “This is a group of girls who really, really wants to do this,” said Ritchie, an education major who wants to teach middle-schoolers. Sarah Bryant of Lexington, a sixth-grader at Tyro Middle School, was enthusiastic about handling the turtles. “It was a very good experience,” she said later. “I learned a lot. I’m very interested in the environment and animals and conservation.” One turtle they marked weighed 1.38 pounds. The biggest turtle caught last year weighed 4.32 pounds. “That’s a really big turtle,” Board said, explaining a uniform marking system used by all turtle researchers. Finally, their work was done. “Bye-bye,” Maren said to Freelance writer Susan the turtle, laying it gently at Shinn is a full-time student the water’s edge, where it at Catawba College.

How to get your free air cooler

just pennies a day. And here’s the best part. Readers of this publication who beat the 48 hour order deadline are getting one free. The MIRA-COOL air cooler only uses about 1¢ an hour of electricity, so the potential energy savings are absolutely incredible. “We’re trying to make sure no one gets left out, but you better hurry because we only have 1,155 MIRA-COOL air coolers to hand out to today’s readers for free,” confirms Gallo. Getting the MIRA-COOL air cooler is the smart way to slash summer electric bills and still stay cool all summer long. And getting the second one free is like putting around three hundred bucks in your pocket and you can keep everyone in your family cool. “We’re bracing ourselves for all the calls because everyone wants to save on their electric bills and stay cool this summer. But those that really want to stay cool will be telling our operators they want two and they’ll get two more free,” said Gallo. “So when lines are busy keep trying or log onto www.MIRA-COOL.com. We promise to get every call. Then we’ll have a delivery truck out to you in no time at all so you can stay cool and start saving on your energy bills right away,” Gallo said. “You’ll instantly feel the ice cooled air in any room. You will never have to be hot and miserable again,” he said. N

UMS – Everyone wants to stay cool this summer. But just turning on your air conditioner sucks the money right out of your pockets. Well today, for the first time ever brand new MIRA-COOL™ air coolers are actually being given away free to the general public for the next 48 hours starting at precisely 8:00am this morning. The only thing today’s readers have to do is call the Toll Free Hotline with their order for their first MIRA-COOL air cooler before the 48-hour deadline. The first 1,155 readers who do are instantly getting their second MIRA-COOL air cooler absolutely free. This is all happening to announce the MIRA-COOL air cooler which actually rolls from room-to-room so you can turn down the central air conditioning and stay cool anywhere. That way, everyone who gets them first can beat the sweltering heat and immediately start saving on their electric bills. Just in time for the unbearable summer heat, MIRA-COOL portable air coolers are being delivered directly to the doors of all North Carolinians who beat the deadline. The good news is the MIRA-COOL portable air cooler is not an air conditioner, so it only costs about a penny an hour to operate. These remarkable air cooling units are being called a miracle because they use 95% less electricity than a typical room air conditioner, yet blast out ice cooled air without any windows, vents or freon. They even come with two sets of reusable ice blocks. Everyone is getting the MIRA-COOL because all you do is fill it up and plug it in to stay cool for just pennies a day. So what’s the catch? “Well, only the first 1,155 readers who call 1-866-964-2336 to beat the order deadline for their first MIRA-COOL air cooler are getting their second one free,” said Chris Gallo, Operations Director. “We’re sorry, but we just can’t afford to give any more than that away free to readers of today’s publication,” Gallo said. “We can barely keep up ever since we started giving the MIRA-COOL air coolers away free. With the dog days of summer everyone’s trying to get them,” said Gallo. You just won’t find these MIRA-COOL air coolers in the national chain stores. That makes the first MIRA-COOL air cooler a real steal for just two hundred ninety-eight dollars and shipping since when you cover only shipping of the second MIRA-COOL air cooler the entire cost is free. This free giveaway is the best way to slash summer cooling bills and stay cool all summer long. The MIRA-COOL air cooler rolls from room-to -room to keep you cool so you can turn down the air and save a ton of money on cooling bills. “You see, with a central air conditioner you are paying to cool areas of your home that you’re not using. And window air conditioners are even worse because they weigh a ton so they’re a hassle to move,” said Gallo. But the MIRA-COOL air cooler actually rolls from room-to-room so it’s easy to stay cool in any room of the house for

Charges mount following arrest BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury woman who was charged with larceny last Thursday ended up with three additional charges after police say she assaulted and spit on an officer. According to the arrest report, Tara J. Vaughn, 38, of Salisbury, was already in jail and was being processed in the magistrateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for the larceny charge. As Vaughn was being escorted from the magistrateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office to the detention center, police say she was calling Officer R.B. Willis names and cursing at him and hit him in the ribs with her elbow. A spit guard, which is made from a material similar to pantyhose, was placed over Vaughnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, but Vaughn managed to spit through the guard onto Willis, the report said. Vaughn also threatened to kill him when she got out of jail. Vaughn was charged with assault on a government official, malicious conduct by a prisoner and communicating threats. She was given a $7,500 secured bond. According to the report, Vaughn has an extensive prior record of assault on a government official.

POLICE FROM 4a The clerk turned around to get the cigar. As she turned back toward the customer, she saw he had a handgun. The man demanded money. When the clerk opened the cash register, he reached over, grabbed the drawer and pulled it out. He took the cash and checks that were inside and underneath the drawer. The robber tried to force the clerk to open the safe, but she could not. The robber then demanded cartons of Newport cigarettes. After he got the cigarettes, he left. The clerk didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see whether the man left on foot or by vehicle. The store has released a video of the robbery, hoping that someone will identify the man. The Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is working to release an enhanced version. In an e-mail to the Post, an employee wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please help catch this man. The Woodleaf BP has had many break-ins, but not like this. Please help catch this man. We are sure that he is a local Hispanic. Someone around here will recognize him.â&#x20AC;? Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call the Rowan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at 704-616-8700.

CAFE FROM 4a She estimates that 153 people work at the Research Campus. Starting in August, at least 200 more faculty, students and staff will be on campus every day when Rowan Cabarrus Community College begins classes in the new biotech training center, Jordan said.

The space does not have a kitchen but utilities are included. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not competition for any local restaurant,â&#x20AC;? Jordan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People who leave the campus for lunch will still leave.â&#x20AC;? Proposals should include hours of operation, types of food, marketing, staffing, insurance, health department regulatory compliance and pricing.

Nearly half of state-chartered Renew Skincare LA SER CENTER banks considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;troubledâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

TUESDAY, JULY 20, 2010 â&#x20AC;˘ 7A

A R E A / S TAT E

July Specials

CHARLOTTE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nearly half of the 86 banks chartered in North Carolina and overseen by state regulators are troubled institutions hurt by sliding real estate values, overdue loans and weak loan demand, regulators said. The state-chartered banks considered troubled have increased to 40 from 23 in October, The Charlotte Observer reported Monday. Regulators are barred from naming troubled banks or their ratings to prevent a run on deposits that would worsen their ability to resolve problems. But seven state-chartered banks are identified by the state banking commission and federal regulatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; records as having significantly deteriorated financial conditions. One of those mostdistressed banks, The Bank of Currituck, was bought Friday by a Virginia bank in a deal expected to close this fall. State-chartered banks are typically community, midsize and regional banks. North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest is WinstonSalem-based BB&T Corp., which passed the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst-case scenario stress test last year and repaid federal bailout dollars. National firms such as Bank of America are not regulated by the state and so would not be on its troubled list. Since the credit crisis began in 2008, two North Carolina banks have failed. Both happened last year in Wilm-

ington. Deposit insurance protected customers from losing money, although investors were wiped out, state Banking Commissioner Joseph Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over the insurance deposit limits, get under them,â&#x20AC;? Smith advised bank customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re safe.â&#x20AC;? The last time North Carolina had so many troubled banks was 1990, when 18 of 44 were on the state regulatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; watch list. That was 41 percent of the state-chartered tally, compared with 47 percent now. Just one bank failed at the time. Harry Davis, an economist for the North Carolina Bankers Association, said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a large number of banks to fail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason there are so many problem banks right now isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because they were poorly managed,â&#x20AC;? said Davis, who is also an Appalachian State University banking professor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the absolute bottom has fallen out of the economy.â&#x20AC;? The most troubled banks are all smaller and were most likely to concentrate their lending nearby. The banks also are less likely than large banks to have revenue from other services, such as fees from investment banking, to make up for consumer and small business slumps. For example, Bank of Granite is concentrated in Caldwell and Catawba counties, which have been hurt by

job losses in the furniture and textile industries. The bank was once praised by Warren Buffett as one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-run community banks, but it has operated since August under a regulatory order to take specific steps to improve its financial health. Some states have seen many more banks fail. Georgia has accounted for 41 of the 288 failures nationwide since Jan. 1, 2008, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Two South Carolina lenders failed on Friday. First National Bank of The South in Spartanburg and Woodlands Bank, a thrift near Hilton Head, brought the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tally of failed banks to three. All were federally chartered, including the Myrtle Beach bank that failed in April.

Shue Road near China Grove has been reopened, according to the N.C. Department of Transportation. The road has been closed since early April to allow state crews to replace a bridge over Grantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek. The project was finished ahead of the Aug. 24 completion date.

Type O blood drive set for Sunday According to the American Red Cross, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a critical need for type O blood donors. A shortage of type O blood is the worst of all blood shortages, because type O blood must be available to treat trauma patients, as well as meet the transfusion needs of all type O patients. Type O negative can be transfused to anyone, regardless of their blood type. All blood types are needed, but the American Red Cross is holding a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;Type O Blood Driveâ&#x20AC;? from 1 to 5:30 p.m. Sunday at its office, 1930 Jake Alexander Blvd. W, Salisbury. All donors will receive a Red Cross T-shirt. For an appointment, call Sherry Smith at 704-6333854, ext. 105.

Lottery sets records for sales, education funds RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; New weekly jackpot drawings and more retail locations helped North Carolina Education Lottery ticket sales increase by 10 percent last year compared to the year before. The lottery said Monday sales grew to more than $1.4 billion during the 12 months ending June 30. The record sales helped send more than $419 million in net profits to education programs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the highest annual transfer since the first tickets were sold in 2006. The lottery began selling tickets for the mult-istate Mega Millions game in Jan-

uary, with drawings on Tuesday and Friday nights. North Carolina already participated in the Powerball drawings. There was also a 4 percent increase in the number of locations where tickets are sold. The statewide total is nearly 6,300.

Marshall has less than $200k in campaign cash RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; North Carolina Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elaine Marshall has less than $200,000 in campaign cash. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $6 million less than her Republican opponent, Sen. Richard Burr. Marshallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign said in its filing to the Federal Election Commission that she had $163,000 in cash on hand at the end of June. The reporting period ended just days after she won a June 22 runoff for the Democratic nomination. Marshall spokesman Sam Swartz said Monday the nomination battle forced the campaign to drain funds. He says the campaign feels good about the fundraising since she won the runoff. Burrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign reported $6.3 million on hand at the end of June.

NEW DELHAIZE PROGRAM

Preserving sea’s bounty Phoney Atticus Finches he bumper stickers urge us to save the whales, but it’s species like Atlantic cod and salmon, Chilean sea bass and grouper that may face the larger threat from the world’s rising appetite for seafood. Those are just some of the fish populations that have struggled because of overharvesting and environmental stresses. A recent United Nations report warns that if current industry trends continue, commercial fisheries will be producing less than 10 percent of their onetime potential by 2050. It’s estimated that almost a third of the world’s fish stocks already have plummeted to that level. Concerns about the sustainability of fisheries are prompting more restaurants and food companies — including Delhaize America, parent of Salisbury-based Food Lion — to take a closer look at their role in the seafood chain. Delhaize recently announced that all its stories would begin operating under a new sustainable seafood sourcing program. While Delhaize isn’t the first major food merchandiser to embrace such a sustainability initiative, with 1,600 supermarkets in the United States, its purchasing power gives it considerable influence over the way suppliers and processors conduct their business. It has the global branding and economic clout to make a substantial impact, and it makes sound business sense for it to cast its net for sustainability. Supermarkets need to have a safe, reliable source for future fish supplies, and customers are increasingly aware of how the cumulative purchasing decisions made at hundreds of stores have a ripple effect on the fate of fisheries around the world. Developed in conjunction with the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, a non-profit science center, the Delhaize policy encourages both sustainability and “buying local,” so that consumers will have expanded access to seafood that comes from their own region in the same way that they can shop for local or regionally grown vegetables and fruits. Fisheries must demonstrate a detailed management policy, including plans to rebuild stock sizes within a specific timeframe if stock size levels are below target levels, data to determine appropriate harvest levels or practices, monitoring and compliance measures to ensure harvest levels are maintained within acceptable limits, and compliance with laws and regulations. The policy covers commercial aquaculture, or “fish farming,” as well as wild fisheries. With seafood demand expected to continue rising steadily in the coming decades, it’s imperative for the food and fishing industries to embrace sustainable practices. A stable food supply requires a healthy ecosystem, and sustainable fisheries are one of its vital elements.

“What the fool does in the end, the wise man does in the beginning. “ — Proverb

ALEIGH — Randy Glover can hardly be held responsible for all the problems at the State Highway Patrol. Glover had been in charge of the patrol for just 10 months. Still, as the bad behavior of patrol troopers piled up, someone was going to be held responsible. Gov. Beverly PerSCOTT MOONEYHAM due was going to hold a subordinate responsible, or voters were going to hold her responsible. Glover resigned on Friday during a meeting with Perdue. Some critics of the patrol colonel say that his friendship with the governor undermined his credibility. Other critics say declining hiring standards contributed to the problems. Both criticisms ignore the individual circumstances of the bad behavior that has left the patrol’s reputation in tatters. Most of the troopers involved in highly-publicized incidents ranging from sexual assaults to back-seat infidelity to drunken driving were veteran officers. If hiring standards have declined, the long trek down must have begun a while ago. As for Glover’s use of his political connections, perhaps he has contributed to longstanding leadership problems at the patrol. If so, he has plenty of company. But does anyone really believe that a patrol trooper thought about Glover and his independence just before committing some act of onthe-job stupidity or criminality? Can you hear that thought-process? “You know, the colonel didn’t do enough to earn that job. So, I’m going to get drunk and speed down the highway just like those folks I catch and charge with drunken driving.” Obviously, no one person is responsible for the avalanche of trooper bad behavior. The trouble can only be interpreted a couple of ways: It has either been encouraged by a longstanding culture of macho recklessness, or it is a few bad eggs who have tarnished the reputation of an 1,800-member law enforcement agency. A consultant’s review of the patrol before many of the latest incidents suggested the former. After Glover’s resignation, Perdue spokeswoman Chrissy Pearson said the governor may be open to appointing an outsider to the job. A 1975 law would have to be changed for that to happen. It requires that the patrol colonel come from the ranks. A top legislative Republican, state Rep. Thom Tillis of Mecklenburg County, said he believes Perdue should leave open the possibility by appointing an interim replacement for Glover. That would allow the legislature to consider repealing the law in January, when it comes back into session. But maybe an outsider isn’t necessary. What would seem to be in order, for whoever takes the reins, is a recognition that the problems at the patrol can’t be explained away as a run of bad luck or a media blowing things out of proportion. There’s nothing to blow out of proportion about an organization where a supervisor believes he can get away with a drunken, sexual escapade with a woman whose husband and his subordinate is sitting in the car seat in front of them. That’s just not a widespread occurrence out there in the wider world. • • • Scott Mooneyham covers state government for Capitol Press Association.

Even bigots now see themselves as enlightened BY TONY NORMAN Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

his month, America celebrates the 50th anniversary of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” More people have probably seen the movie starring Gregory Peck than have actually read the book, but it is the novel most folks claim to have read in their youth. Even illiterates insist they’ve waded through it. “To Kill a Mockingbird” is a nuanced exploration of this nation’s founding sin — racial intolerance — disguised as a Depression-era coming-of-age story about three white kids in an Alabama town. The book is beloved by millions because it is a relatively gentle indictment of Southern injustice when it could have been angry and didactic. Though the story is straightforward enough, it has taken on additional meanings half a century later. Wildly divergent interpretations of Lee’s book are a testament to her novelistic ambitions. One could also say that her novel is a little too subtle for a nation perpetually in denial about race. Americans love “To Kill a Mockingbird” because it allows folks who have never lifted a finger for civil rights or even thought kindly about it to see themselves in Lee’s story as either the crusading defense lawyer Atticus Finch or his precocious adolescent daughter Scout. Black folks are thrust by default and tradition into the role of Tom Robinson, a black man maliciously accused of raping a white woman. Equally interesting is the fact that no one, not even the crudest racist, ever identifies with Robert E. Lee “Bob” Ewell, the father of the woman who makes the false accusation that puts Tom on trial for his life. Representing a black rape defendant generates a lot of hassles for Atticus, but he refuses to back down. He explains to his kids that doing the right thing is often costly,

ASSOCIATED PRESS

As Atticus Finch, Gregory Peck brought subtlety and understatement to Harper Lee’s exploration of racial intolerance. but unavoidable. His principled decency, so persuasively embodied by Gregory Peck on the big screen, has become the archetype for racially mature white-collar professionals. When Rush Limbaugh referred to the late New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in his on-air eulogy as a “cracker who made a lot of African-Americans millionaires,” he probably didn’t consider himself the spiritual heir of Bob Ewell. For allegedly speaking truth to power, Limbaugh thinks of himself as just a high-tech version of Atticus Finch. When Mark Williams, a spokesman for the Tea Party movement, called the NAACP a “vile racist group” that “makes more money off of race than any slave trader ever,” he probably believed he was channeling Atticus Finch. He would probably be ready to fight anyone who compared him to Bob Ewell. Though Williams is the same spokesman who referred to Barack Obama as “our halfwhite, racist president” and an “Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug turned anointed,” he still wants to be considered racially enlightened. He resents the charge that racists can find a non-judgmental

LETTERS Card ministry keeps on keeping on God’s amazing grace continues to pour forth. After a rough Saturday night of pain, I woke up and decided to check my e-mail. It seems another lady had a rough night and sent an e-mail at 4:37 a.m. She said it was out of character for her to send e-mails at that time of the morning. But she was having trouble sleeping and was thinking about her and her husband’s desire to answer my ad in the Cleveland Chronicle. They have volunteered to pay to ship at least one box of cards a month to Iraq for the next six months. I told her what an answer to prayer that is. I had just told a friend earlier this week that I might have to stop sending cards to our troops if I couldn’t get help with the cost. When I first wrote an article asking for help recycling and sending cards, the response was tremendous. Thirty people expressed interest in coming to a monthly workshop but only about 12 have participated. But those few who have turned out have recycled hundreds of cards. My sister and her husband have provided money to

home in the Tea Party movement no matter what the signs say. In an impressive bit of sleight of hand, Glenn Beck told millions of his followers that the “Silent Generation,” the same folks who fell for the Southern strategy that Fox News impresario Roger Ailes helped pioneer in the Nixon White House, gave birth to and supported the civil-rights movement. Yes, indeed. Atticus Finch would be a regular contributor to Fox News, according to the assortment of scoundrels claiming to be modern-day iterations of the character. Meanwhile, no one is giving any love to the book’s villain or the all-white jury that ultimately convicts Tom Robinson. Today, even irredeemable bigots with swastikas tattooed on their foreheads think of themselves as Gregory Peck. That’s why Lee’s novel, as great and celebrated as it is, is too subtle for most Americans who read it under duress in the 10th grade. People don’t see themselves as they actually are when they flip through the pages of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” They see themselves as they’d like to be: noble, tolerant and unafraid of difference. As we ride out the last few months of this summer of racial discontent, Americans are celebrating Lee’s novel and missing the point of it entirely. We forget that even though the setting for the novel was the Great Depression South, it was conceived and written at the height of the civil-rights movement. It drew much of its moral energy from lunch-counter sit-ins, desegregation marches and an unflinching belief in the righteousness of racial equality. What passes for racial tolerance and enlightenment these days is embarrassing. Where’s Boo Radley when you need him? • • • E-mail Tony Norman at tnorman@post-gazette.com.

I’ve tried speaking to several clubs and have received response from some but not others. But I think this early morning e-mail tells me once again that it is still part of God’s plan for me to continue this ministry, and He will provide the support. I’ve been asked in the past how long I intend to continue this ministry and I had replied: “As long as I am able or until our soldiers come home.” Shame on me now for even thinking that I might have to stop due to lack of finances. — Linda Beck

When free trade proponents sold the American people on the idea of the North American Free Trade Agreement, they promised that it would be a boon economically. Evidence, however, suggests that it has been anything but. Since its implementation, Americans have dealt with stagnating wages, outsourced jobs, increased illegal immigration, an influx of contaminated products and rapid environmental degradation. By 2008, according to EconomyInCrisis.org, NAFTA had cost America nearly 3 million wellpaying manufacturing jobs, 3,000 family farms, countless businesses — and with them tax revenues — and billions of dollars through trade deficits. North Carolina has certainly not been immune. Increased trade deficits after NAFTA was enacted displaced about 34,200 jobs between 1993 and 2004 alone. The bottom line is that NAFTA was a bad deal for America and a bad deal for Ohio and should be renegotiated as President Obama vowed to do during the campaign. — Clarence Swinney

CAIRO (AP) — A U.S.born, al-Qaida-linked cleric warned the American people that President Barack Obama will mire U.S. forces in Yemen just as Afghanistan, in a message appearing Monday on militant websites. The 13-minute audio message, in English, comes just days after the U.S. Treasury department put Anwar alAwlaki on its list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists. “If George W. Bush is remembered as being the president who got America stuck in Afghanistan and Iraq, it’s looking like Obama wants to be remembered as the president who got America stuck in Yemen,” he said. In another message released separately, al-Qaida’s deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri vowed that the American troops would leave both Afghanistan and Iraq in “defeat.” U.S officials worry al-Qaida’s offshoot in Yemen has found refuge in the country’s remote, lawless areas and could be plotting attacks against American and other Western targets. Critics, meanwhile, have warned that imposing a deadline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq could provide the terror network a propaganda tool.

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Syria has forbidden the country’s students and teachers from wearing the niqab — the full Islamic veil that reveals only a woman’s eyes — taking aim at a garment many see as political. The ban shows a rare point of agreement between Syria’s secular, authoritarian government and the democracies of Europe: Both view the niqab as a potentially destabilizing threat. “We have given directives to all universities to ban niqab-wearing women from registering,” a government official in Damascus told the Associated Press on Monday. The order affects both public and private universities and aims to protect Syria’s secular identity, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the issue. Hundreds of primary school teachers who were wearing the niqab at government-run schools were transferred last month to administrative jobs, Abortion rights groups he added.

Abducted 7-year-old Calif. girl placed with foster family LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 7year-old girl who was snatched from California as a toddler and raised in Arizona has learned her true name and was being given therapy to cope with the trauma of leaving the only family she remembers, an investigator said Monday. Amber Nicklas was placed with an undisclosed California foster family until authorities can determine where she finally will live, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Capt. Patrick Maxwell said. He had no immediate word on how the girl was acclimating after being taken weeping last week from the home of a Phoenix couple who run a palm-reading business. The family called her Sandra. “She has been told what her birth name was. She is aware,” Maxwell said. “She actually likes the name Amber.”

Gel offers hope to women by helping prevent HIV, herpes For the first time, a vaginal gel has proved capable of blocking the AIDS virus: It cut in half a woman’s chances of getting HIV from an infected partner in a study in South Africa. Scientists called it a breakthrough in the long quest for a tool to help women whose partners won’t use condoms. The results need to be confirmed in another study, and that level of protection is probably not enough to win approval of the microbicide gel in countries like the United States, researchers say. But they are optimistic it can be improved. “We are giving hope to women,” who account for most new HIV infections, said Michel Sidibe in a statement. He is executive director of the World Health Organization’s UNAIDS program. A gel could “help us break the trajectory of the AIDS epidemic,” he said. And Dr. Anthony Fauci of the U.S. National Institutes of Health said, “It’s the first time we’ve ever seen any microbicide give a positive result” that scientists agree is true evidence of protection. The gel, spiked with the AIDS drug tenofovir, cut the risk of HIV infection by 50 percent after one year of use and 39 percent after 21⁄2 years,

compared to a gel that contained no medicine.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration has asked the governments of Scotland and Britain to review the decision last summer to release the Libyan convicted in the Lockerbie airliner bombing. In letters to U.S. lawmakers, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. was encouraging the Scottish and British authorities to review the circumstances leading to the release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi. Four senators wrote Clinton last week, questioning whether oil giant BP played a behind-thescenes role in the decision. In her response, Clinton wrote that she remained deeply troubled by the Libyan’s release. “That al-Megrahi is living out his remaining days outside of Scottish custody is an affront to the victims’ families, the memories of those killed in the Lockerbie bombing, and to all of those who worked tirelessly to ensure justice was served,” Clinton wrote. British Prime Minister David Cameron called the Scottish decision “completely and utterly wrong,” in remarks to the BBC a day before beginning an official visit to Washington.

Fishing with Capt. Gus

Wildlife Commission opposes plan for Mountain Island Lake

Don’t be surprised if fish bite about anything

After the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission opposed a plan by the Mountain Island Lake Marine Commission to sharply limit boats and boater access, the idea was put on hold. The Wildlife Resources Commission unanimously endorsed a letter from Chairman Steve Windham to the Mountain Island Lake Marine Commission, which was proposing a ban of boats longer than 22 feet and pontoon boats longer than 26 feet. Boaters also would have needed to purchase either an annual or one-day permit to access the lake. “This proposal raises profound concerns about the ability of citizens to utilize a public trust resource,” said Gordon Myers, executive director of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. “Consider that public trust rights are for the use and benefit of the people — and include the right to navigate, swim, hunt, fish and enjoy all recreational activities in the watercourses of North Carolina. The waters of the Catawba River, of which Mountain Island Lake is a part, are public and the right of access by the public is based on clear and unambiguous law.” After a public meeting in Lincoln County, the Mountain Island authorities decided to seek more public input. The lake management proposal listed justification for the limited access and vessel size restrictions as being in the interest of “public safety and water quality,” both of which are refuted by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. The letter states that the most effective and fair way to provide public safety on waterways is through safe and proper boat operation. Data from Mountain Island Lake bears this out. From 2005-09, 12 boats were involved in accidents there. None of the accidents would have been prevented by the proposed rules concerning vessel size. Water quality issues at Mountain Island Lake, as monitored by the N.C. Division of Water Quality, are not related to boat use but likely linked to human activity in tributary watersheds. Mountain Island Lake was built in 1924 with the construction of Mountain Island Hydroelectric Station. The lake covers 3,281 acres, has 61 miles of shoreline and provides a dependable water supply for Mount Holly, Gastonia and CharlotteMecklenburg communities.

Falconry seasons The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission has approved 2010–11 extended falconry season dates for webless species, which are: Dove: Oct. 16 – Nov. 20 King, clapper, sora and Virginia rails: Nov. 20 – Dec. 25 Gallinule and moorhens: Nov. 20 – Dec. 25 Woodcock: Nov. 13 – Dec. 30 and Jan. 31 – Feb. 26. Falconry hours for all species are from a half hour before sunrise until sunset, except doves on Sept. 4, when falconry hours run from noon until sunset. Falconers are permitted to take a daily bag of three migratory game birds and may also hunt during the applicable gun seasons. In late August, the Commission will establish regular waterfowl seasons for ducks, geese and swans. For Canada geese, only during September and only in the area west of U.S. 17, shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset. In addition to the extended shooting hours for Canada geese, unplugged guns and electronic calls will be allowed for Canada geese in that area west of U.S. 17 and only during September. For more information on migratory bird season dates, bag limits and restrictions visit www.ncwildlife.org.

Kirkley russell caught this 42-pound wahoo in the Megadock tournament in Charleston, S.C., earlier this month. his team tied for ﬁrst but had to settle for second place money: $4,000 because another 42-pounder was weighed in the day before. the ﬁshermen were on the russellhatt captained by his father, Lee russell, of Salisbury.

While a group of people eating lunch and enjoying the themselves at a covered pier, one of them carelessly dropped a large strawberry into the water. Before anyone could scoop it out, a giant carp came to the surface to investigate. Everyone thought they had discovered a new carp bait, but the fish just smelled it and swam away. Moments later, a huge catfish appeared and wasted no time inhaling the strawberry. Numerous lines quickly hit the water, all baited with big strawberries. During the next few minutes, three cats were hooked, two were landed, and the third broke the line. The strawberry experience reminds us that fishing isn't very complicated. Sometimes all you need to catch a fish is a bait attached to a hook, line and sinker. Pieces of hot dogs, Vienna sausage, cheese, bread, corn and even green peas or baked beans have been catching fish for decades. So the next time you go fishing, forget the worms and minnows, just share your lunch with the fish. Don’t be surprised if you catch a carp, catfish or bream on a piece of bread. When you’re fishing in the mountains, a rainbow trout will take a piece of corn or cheese quicker than a wet fly. If you can't

keep your bait on the hook because of the current, try chewing gum or candy Gummy Worms. Like fishing lures, certain flavors and colors work better on some days than others, so keep a couple different types of gum in your pocket. Marshmallows suspended below a red and white float have taken many catfish over the years, and have even been known to fool a carp or two. Whole miniature marshmallows will catch a bream (sunny) in the shallows quicker than a cricket on certain days. If the fish are running small, cut the mini-marshmallow into pieces tiny enough for them to swallow. Muscadines make excellent catfish bait. In fact, if you ever find ripe muscadines growing along the bank, fish the area thoroughly. Catfish are likely to be feeding nearby on the tender droppings. Don’t throw away leftovers like clams, mussels, shrimp or crawfish. Catfish, bass and stripers will gobble them down from a hook or when used for chum. Some say, “The spicier the taste, the better.” So, don't be afraid to give Cajun or garlic shrimp/crawfish a try.

Heart-healthy bears Hibernating with a load of body fat leads to no ill effects PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) — Grizzly bears love pastries, can be 50 percent body fat and spend nearly half the year sleeping. Yet the hibernating bears don’t suffer heart attacks, have no hardening of the arteries, no fatty deposits or any circulation issues, said Charles Robbins, director of the Washington State University bear research center. Robbins, who founded the center in 1986, and other WSU scientists are seeking to learn how bear hearts stay so healthy, and whether the answers can be applied to humans. “The changes in the heart that occur in hibernation are things you and I couldn’t survive,” said Lynne Nelson, a veterinary cardiologist who has spent seven years studying the bears. “Yet bear hearts are very healthy.” Scientists have found that grizzly hearts drop from more than 80 beats per minute when bears are awake to less than 20 beats, and sometimes into single digits, when bears are hibernating. Nelson said echocardiograms show blood starting to pool in the heart, but the bears do not suffer clots. So far, Nelson and Robbins have only theories to explain how the bears, which share 95 percent of human DNA, maintain healthy hearts. They have published papers saying that protein changes make bear hearts stiffer during hibernation, allowing them to maintain their shape and perhaps avoid the formation of clots. Bears also shut down two of the four heart chambers without suffering damage. The scientists are also studying beta receptors and beta blockers in bears, which control heart rate. Washington State’s Bear Center is the only university facility in the nation that has adult grizzly bears, Nelson said. Grizzlies are listed as a threatened species, although numbers have rebounded since the 1970s. Learning how bears cope with being asleep for so long could have implications for long manned space flights and for humans who are bedridden, scientists say. Harry Reynolds, a past president of the International Association for Bear Research and Management, said bears make excellent standins for humans in medical research because they share many biological similarities. “If there is any model species for human medicine and health studies, it’s got to be bears,” said Reynolds, retired from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, but still actively involved in bear field studies in Mongolia. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is in charge of preserving grizzlies and has provided some financial support for the WSU Bear Center. Christopher Servheen, Fish and Wildlife grizzly recovery coordinator in Missoula, Mont., said the studies are important for bears, as well as what they portend for humans. “All the work that comes out of there brings added information about the physiology and food habits and survival of bears,” Servheen said. The WSU Bear Center is a modest building on the edge of campus. It includes a series of cinderblock dens where up to 10 bears live. The bears are free to move outside, where they are separated from humans by two layers of chain link fence and can be viewed by anyone who stops in the parking lot. On a recent day two chil-

a grizzly bear used for medical research stands upright after smelling fresh apples at the Washington State University bear pen in pullman, Wash. Grizzlies can spend nearly half the year sleeping. Lynne Nelson, a cardiologist at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine, feeds apple slices to John, an 8-year-old grizzly bear used for medical research.

dren gawked and shouted at the bears. The animals can also roam some hilly fields that are fenced off next to the building. On a recent hot day, an 8-year-old adult named John frolicked in a steel tub of water, climbing in and out and shaking the water out of his thick fur. Another named Frank stood on his hind legs, towering over his handlers, while Nelson fed him slices of apple through the fence. The bears eat a mixture similar to dog food, plus salmon and road-killed deer, apples and dayold cakes and pies donated by Safeway, Robbins said. “We ring a cowbell and they know there is cake and pie for them,” Robbins said. “Sugar and grease, who doesn’t love that?” The bears are involved in a wide variety of research projects. Nelson is seven years into her heart research, but the process is slow because the WSU bears only hibernate from October to

March, she said. The bears give blood samples, have their blood pressure measured, are given ultrasounds and echocardiograms. Some of the bears are trained to stick a limb out of the cage to be tested, even as they hibernate, she said. Other scientists are looking at aspects of bear hibernation. Seth Donahue, a researcher at Michigan Tech, has written that black bears do not develop osteoporosis during long periods of hibernation because their cells continue to produce new bonemaking material as they sleep. That could eventually be helpful in battling osteoporosis in humans. Bears also manage to maintain muscle strength and mass, even though humans would lose some 70 percent of muscle strength in similar inactivity. One reason is that bears appear to exercise while they sleep by performing whole body, isometric contractions.

Lack of condolence stings grieving wife Dear Amy: My father passed away this week. There was a funeral and then we sat shiva for several days. My husband has a sister and two children from a previous marriage (27 and 30). His sister and his son both called to express their condolences, but his daughter did not. No ASK one made the AMY effort to show up to pay their respects. When my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greataunt died last year, his sister called to ask him to add her name to the flowers we were sending. My husband generously had two separate arrangements sent (one with her name and her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) and, of course, they went to the funeral. Amy, I am required by my husband to attend his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functions. He has said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you love me, you will do these things for me.â&#x20AC;? Am I wrong to feel this is a real slap in the face? My husband has said nothing to them (and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to). He thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;no big deal,â&#x20AC;? but I think he should say something. I would like to skip his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functions from now on.

What do you think? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Heartsick in Suffolk Dear Heartsick: Your husband resorts to the nuclear option when asking you to participate in family events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you love me ...â&#x20AC;? is not an appropriate way to start a conversation or make a request. It is emotional blackmail. By my count, one family member has failed to acknowledge your loss and she has demonstrated this lack of respect for you because there are no adverse consequences. Your husband is wrong when he says this is â&#x20AC;&#x153;no big deal.â&#x20AC;? He obviously has no intention of dealing with his daughter, so you should handle it yourself. You tell her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was disappointed that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t acknowledge my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death,â&#x20AC;? and then move on. You should attend family funerals in your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family because you understand the meaning of these things. A funeral is no place to play out a marriage dynamic that should best be dealt with in a counselorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. You and your husband should talk this out. Dear Amy: My best friend has been having an affair with a married man since the day he was wed. Hours before his nuptials, he confessed his

love for my friend but said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t abandon his fiancĂŠe. My friend and the man claim they care about his wife but continue to sleep together and share explicit e-mails, texts and photos. The man is popular at church and considered an allaround exemplary citizen. He also happens to be my boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother. My boyfriend and I are the only ones who know about this affair, and the guilt is increasingly frustrating to us both. To make things more complicated, the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife has become very hostile toward me and implied that I am interested in her husband. My boyfriend and I cannot attend family functions without her sending threatening texts to me afterward. Despite my feelings of hurt and betrayal, I have kept my friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affair a secret at her request to protect the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation. What to do? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Confused in Cali Dear Confused: A personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation has no currency unless it is authentic. Essentially, you are lying to protect another lie, and you and your boyfriend (instead of this other couple) are facing the consequences. You and your boyfriend

should exit from this mess by conveying to this couple, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are tired of keeping your secret and so we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We will not cover for you in any way. The next time your wife sends a nasty text accusing me of being interested in you, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to tell her the truth.â&#x20AC;? Dear Amy: In reference to the letter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wondering Friendâ&#x20AC;? about a 12-year-old boy who kept stuffed animals, we have a grandson who, at age 12, not only had lots of stuffed animals but also carried one around with him everywhere. This drove my husband crazy. I taught elementary students for 42 years. I told him to leave the boy alone. The grandson is now a music teacher and a fine young man. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barbara Dear Barbara: You are a wise woman. Thank you.

3 recipes for total magic from ordinary ingredients Several weeks ago, I told you that I was going to participate in my own experiment, to see whether the Miracle Whip facial Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d heard about was, in fact, miraculous. This condiment from the folks at Kraft Foods contains vinegar (acid), oil (moisturizer) MARY and egg (proHUNT tein), ingredients that resemble the ingredients in any number of skin care products. Using Miracle Whip on your face is supposed to produce great cleansing results, with mild exfoliation as a bonus. â&#x20AC;˘ Skin Care Magic. The instructions are to slather Miracle Whip on your face, leave it for 20 minutes, gently massage, rinse well and follow with a good moisturizer. My Miracle Whip facial had a strong odor of vinegar at first, but it dissipated quickly. My conclusion is that this unconventional skin care routine works as well as my regular facial cleanser and does seem to have exfoliating properties. I was pleased with how it left my skin feeling. It is worth noting that I have extremely sensitive skin and am allergic to many brands of skin care products. Miracle Whip presented no problem. The jury is still out on whether Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue doing this, but I love knowing that I have such a cheap alternative when it comes to skin care. How cheap? I got that handy 12-ounce squeeze bottle of Miracle Whip at the 99 Cents Only Store for, you

Kernersville breaks serve, takes 2-1 lead on Rowan BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Kernersville turned its thirdround series South Kernersville10 against Rowan 8 Rowan by winning Game 3 on the road, and Post 36 is optimistic it du-

plicated that breakthrough by prevailing 10-8 against Rowan County at Newman Park. Kernersville led 4-0 early Monday, trailed 8-4 late, then rattled off six unanswered runs to take a two games to one lead in the best-of-five Area III championship series. “I don’t want to sound like a bro-

ken record, but our guys always seem to respond in tough situations,” Kernersville coach Chad Loflin said. “Now we’ve just got to find some way to win one more against a great club.” Stunned Rowan fans filed out of packed bleachers as the home team went down quietly 1-2-3 in the ninth against Kernersville’s Brandon Har-

rison. It was the only inning in which Rowan (30-12) didn’t manage a baserunner. “To win this series, we knew we had to win a road game and we got one,” Kernersville hero Landon Odell said. “The fans heckled us a lot. Hopefully, we can wrap it up at our place. We don’t want to come back.”

Smith’s legacy in good shape

BY BRIAN MAHONEY LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had some free agency business. Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul need to heal injuries. Time to start choosing their replacements. While its recent mainstays take the summer off, the United States gets back to work today in Las Vegas, opening training camp for the players competing for a chance to play in the world championships.

Odell’s tiebreaking, two-out, tworun homer in the eighth inning broke an 8-all tie. Besides being the winning pitcher, Harrison, who plays at Surry Community College, went 4-for-5 at the plate.

Head coach Mike Krzyzewski (center) poses with Jason Kidd (right), Deron Williams (left) and other players after the U.S. team won gold in the 2008 Olympics.

CHAPEL HILL — Dean Smith waved, but he did not speak. The crowd at the North Carolina alumni basketball game in February kept chanting “Thank you! Thank you!” as he walked off the court and into the tunnel. It was quieter under here, a place Smith had been thousands of times, in a building named in his honor. But he looked disoriented. He took off his suit jacket, and his shirt showed the sweat. “You did fine, coach,” said current UNC coach Roy Williams. Then he paused. “You feel OK?”

“Yeah,” Smith said, still glancing around the tunnel. “Yeah, I think.” It has been an open secret for months among people close to UNC basketball: Dean Smith, the legendary Tar Heels coach, is facing health issues. Smith, 79, is SMITH an intensely private man. But rumors about his condition had spun so out of control that a school spokesman had to confirm last week that Smith is still alive.

NCAA investigation expands Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman says the NCAA is investigating a possible rules violation of one of its athletic programs. Tight end Weslye Saunders has been identified by various media reports as the target of the investigation. Saunders would not discuss his conversations with the NCAA when reached by phone Monday. “I don’t want to talk right now,” he told The Associated Press. Coach Steve Spurrier told The (Columbia) State that he has no knowledge of Saunders breaking any rules. “All I know is they had talked to him, and talked to some players at North Carolina. That’s all I know,” Spurrier told the paper. “Whatever comes (of it), we’ll just have to wait and see. “We’re not going to look the other way like possibly Southern California did,” Spurrier continued. “We’re going to abide by the rules.” Calls to Saunders’ father, Barry, a news columnist at a Raleigh newspaper, were not returned. The NCAA has been investigating the UNC football program. Saunders is a 6-foot-5, 280 pound senior from Durham. He was South Carolina’s third-leading receiver last season with a career-best 32 catches and three touchdowns.  GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida and the NCAA are investigating an allegation that former Gators offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey received $100,000 from a representative of a sports agent before last season ended, ESPN.com reported. The allegation stated Pouncey received the money between Florida’s loss to Alabama in the SEC title game and its Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati, according to the report. Pouncey was selected 18th in this year’s NFL draft. If the allegation is true, he could be ruled ineligible for the Sugar Bowl game and Florida might have to vacate the victory among other potential penalties.  PITTSBURGH — Pitt defensive end Jabaal Sheard has been suspended after being accused of throwing another man through the glass door of an art gallery.  STORRS, Conn. — Jeff Hathaway, the athletic director at Connecticut, has been picked to chair the NCAA Division I men’s basketball committee.

NFL NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Johnson’s agent says the running back and the Tennessee Titans have agreed on a revised deal that should ensure he reports with the rest of the team for training camp. The deal pays Johnson incentives this season that he was due to be paid in 2012, and he no longer will be the lowest-paid running back on the Titans roster. CINCINNATI — The Bengals have released guard Jason Shirley, who tore an Achilles’ tendon while playing in a charity basketball game in April.  FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. —

You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade has just went down again. But it’s not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games lost and we’ll have to get back on track.”  MIAMI — James Jones completed his return to the Heat, signing with the team that bought out his contract last month. Jones was the NBA’s third-best 3-point shooter in 2007-08.  DALLAS — Dirk Nowitzki has signed his new contract with the Dallas Mavericks. The deal is for more than $80 million over four years, with a no-trade clause.  PHOENIX — The Suns have scheduled a “major announcement” amid widespread speculation that agent Lon Babby will be named the team’s president for basketball operations.

BASEBALL

Venters, Cox suspended following Fielder incident Associated Press

NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves pitcher Jonny Venters was suspended for four games and fined by Major League Baseball on Monday for throwing consecutive pitches at Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder last weekend. Baseball’s vice president in charge of discipline, Bob Watson, also said Braves manager Bobby Cox has been suspended for one game. Cox will serve the suspension during today’s game against San Diego. Venters will start his penalty unless the players’ association appeals.

“I think it’s in everybody’s best interests that the physical well-being of the players should be foremost,” Brewers manager Ken Macha said. “My point of view is that it behooves everybody that Prince is able to go out and play all 162 and not have a broken wrist or dislocated back.” Venters and Cox were ejected for their actions Saturday. Cox’s ejection was his record 156th and third this season. One inning after Fielder’s homer started a five-run inning for the Brewers in a 6-3 win, Venters threw a pitch over his head. Plate umpire

Angel Hernandez warned both benches and Venters hit Fielder in the back with the next pitch. Cox earned an automatic ejection when he came out of the dugout to argue. Watson said he was suspended for Venters’ intentional actions after a warning had been issued. “I don’t really care,” Fielder said. REDS CINCINNATI — Third baseman Scott Rolen got a cortisone shot in his right hamstring on Monday, leaving the Cincinnati Reds without one of the catalysts for their turnaround season.

Manager Dusty Baker said the team will decide in the next couple of days whether to put Rolen on the 15-day disabled list. ROCKIES MIAMI — Troy Tulowitzki will begin a rehabilitation assignment Wednesday, and the Rockies hope to activate the shortstop after he spends a week in the minor leagues. Todd Helton may be activated from the disabled list as early as today. TWINS MINNEAPOLIS — Twins first baseman Justin Morneau will likely miss at least another week’s worth

of games while he recovers from a concussion. RAYS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rocco Baldelli and Tampa Bay agreed to a minor league contract, and he was assigned him to Class A Charlotte of the Florida State League. The 28-year old rejoined the Rays as a special instructor during spring training. He had been taking batting practice and participating in drills before most Tampa Bay home games. Baldelli has been rehabbing an injured shoulder this year and has not appeared in a game.

Marlins beat Rockies with walkoff homer Associated Press

MIAMI — Ubaldo Jimenez couldn’t hold a lead. Neither could the Florida Marlins. And neither could the Colorado Rockies’ bullpen. Pinch-hitter Donnie Murphy hit a tworun homer with two outs in the ninth inning Monday night, and the Marlins won a seesaw game against the Rockies, 9-8. It was the fifth lead change. All-Star starter Jimenez departed trailing after his shortest outing of the season, but Jonathan Herrera’s first career homer put the Rockies ahead 8-7 in the eighth inning. After Colorado closer Huston Street (1-2) retired the first two batters in the ninth, Dan Uggla walked. Murphy — batting for only the fourth time this season — then hit an opposite-field homer on a 1-0 fastball. “If you had asked me before the game if I was going to hit a walk-off home run

after all the stuff that happened tonight, I definitely would have said no,” Murphy said. “It was a crazy game. It was just good to come out on top.” The homer was Murphy’s first since July 3, 2008, with Oakland. A mob of teammates led by Uggla greeted him at home plate. “Walk-offs are so exciting and so much fun for us, because we get to act like little kids again,” Uggla said. The blown save was the first this season for Street, who has six saves since returning last month from a shoulder injury. He said he felt like Murphy hit “a decent pitch.” “He took a good swing,” Street said. “It’s a total letdown when you walk into the clubhouse. You’re one pitch away from a win and, obviously, it’s on my shoulders.” The Marlins improved to 2-42 when trailing after eight innings. Florida won its third game in a row, while the Rockies lost for the third time in four games

since the All-Star break. “They battled and battled and battled, and we battled and battled and battled,” Uggla said. “A lot of good things came out of tonight. You’re not going to win all of them like that, but we’re going to enjoy this one.” Colorado’s comeback in the eighth kept alive a nine-game winning streak for Jimenez, who is 15-1. But the Rockies ace endured his latest in a series of rocky outings. Making his first start since the AllStar game last Tuesday, Jimenez twice failed to protect a lead. His final pitch was walloped by rookie Mike Stanton for a three-run homer that put Florida ahead 6-4. Jimenez said he tired after three innings pitching on a muggy, 87-degree night. “It’s crazy pitching here,” he said. “You get so tired and exhausted. Other pitchers pitch here. I’m not going to use that as an excuse.”

ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols’ two-run homer in the fifth inning began a barrage of four long balls in a span of six atbats and Blake Hawksworth survived a rocky start in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 8-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday night. Rookie Allen Craig added his first career homer and Skip Schumaker hit his third of the season in a five-run fifth against Kyle Kendrick. Randy Winn led off the sixth with a pinch-hit shot off Chad Durbin. The four-homer game tied a season best for the NL Central leaders, who have won a season-high six straight and are a season-best 11 games over .500 (52-41). Pujols hit his 22nd homer and first since the All-Star break for a 5-4 lead. He also doubled and had a run-scoring groundout. Reds 7, Nationals 2 CINCINNATI — Johnny Cueto pitched six innings around a rain delay and drove home two runs for Cincinnati. The Nationals had been blanked in their last two games. The Reds had been shut out in three of their last five, all by 1-0 scores. Cueto (9-2) had a two-run single and Jonny Gomes and Miguel Cairo added solo homers. In his last six starts, Cueto has allowed five earned runs for a 1.16 ERA. Brewers 3, Pirates 1 PITTSBURGH — Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks hit home runs for the second consecutive game for Milwaukee and Chris Capuano won for the first time in more than three years. Weeks homered for the third time in two days to extend his club record for homers by a second baseman to 18. Fielder took over sole possession of the NL home run lead with his 23rd for the Brewers, who have won six of their past eight. Making his second start since the end of the 2007 season, Capuano (1-1) broke a franchise record 13-game losing streak by allowing a run, three hits and a walk with four strikeouts in five innings. Capuano, who missed the past two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery, hadn’t won since May 13, 2007. AMERICAN LEAGUE Rays 8, Orioles 1 BALTIMORE — Rookie Wade Davis allowed one run over eight innings in another sparkling performance against Baltimore and Evan Longoria had two hits during a seven-run third inning. Jason Bartlett drove in two runs for the Rays, who are

4-0 against the Orioles at Camden Yards and 6-1 overall. Tampa Bay owns the best road record in the majors (30-16) despite losing two of three at Yankee Stadium over the weekend. Royals 5, Blue Jays 4 (10) KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Alberto Callaspo’s RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning helped Kansas City snap a six-game losing streak. Toronto had taken a 5-4 lead in the top of the inning when Fred Lewis scored on Jose Bautista’s single off Kyle Farnsworth (3-0). Scott Podsednik led off the bottom of the 10th with a triple and scored on Jason Kendall’s sacrifice fly to tie it. Blue Jays closer Kevin Gregg (0-4) suffered his third blown save in 25 opportunities. With two outs, Gregg walked Billy Butler and Jose Guillen. Callaspo singled up the middle to win it. Yunel Escobar homered with two outs in the second. He has homered in consecutive games and has seven RBIs in that span. Rangers 8, Tigers 6 (14) DETROIT — Nelson Cruz’s two-run homer in the 14th inning in a game that was marred by two injuries and finally ended in the rain two minutes before midnight. Detroit lost its sixth straight game despite two home runs from Miguel Cabrera. The game had a scary moment in the sixth inning when Rangers reliever Dustin Nippert was hit in the head by Austin Jackson’s line drive. The ball landed in left field for a double as Texas players, coaches and trainers raced toward the mound. Detroit lost third baseman Brandon Inge for 4-6 weeks after he broke his left hand when he was hit by a pitch from Scott Feldman in the third inning. Indians 10, Twins 4 MINNEAPOLIS — Trevor Crowe drove in two runs and had a career-high four hits, and the Cleveland Indians collected a season-high 20 hits in their fifth straight win, 10-4 over the Minnesota Twins on Monday night. Crowe and Jason Donald, two of the youngsters thrust into action in this rebuilding, injury-marred season for Cleveland, each drove in two runs to help the Indians start the second half 5-0 for the first time in history. Scott Baker (7-9) surrendered 10 hits , increasing Minnesota’s concern about the rotation. After winning three out of four games from the firstplace Chicago White Sox to cut the division lead to 11⁄2 games, the Twins fell flat.

Place in league secured, Redick looks to become a starter

Asked if she could put a specific name on his condition, Smith’s wife, Linnea, said in an interview Saturday: “It is a complex medical diagnosis. ... It’s in a category of progressive memory disorders, and we’re staying away from labels.” She added: “I think that we all face adversity; you can imagine someone whose work involved (so many) intellectual processes, that it’s been a tremendous adjustment for him, as well as the rest of the family. But you move forward.” One of Smith’s gifts over the years has been an astounding memory. He could recall a specific play, the players on the court and the time on the clock, from a game 40 years ago. He still has those days. But some of those memories are fading. It can be hard to attach a particular diagnosis to memory loss. Linnea Smith stressed that everything that can be done medically is being done, and she thanked Smith’s doctor and consultant. She emphasized that his overall health is stable and his condition, while progressive, isn’t an imminent threat to his life. When Smith retired in 1997, after 879 wins and two national titles, he left a legacy as one of the greatest coaches in any sport. He was an innovator, popularizing the Four Corners offense; the “tired signal” for fatigued players who

FROM 1C “I think everyone is antsy to get going again. It’ll be fun because we’ve got a bunch of young guys who are very hungry and it’s a different group,” USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said. “It’s challenging, but it’s also exciting. That’s the way we choose to look at it.” The new-look team still has plenty of talent, including NBA scoring champion Kevin Durant, perennial All-Stars Amare Stoudemire and Chauncey Billups, and Lamar Odom and Rajon Rondo, last seen on the court in Game 7 of the NBA finals. The camp roster includes 21 players who will practice through Friday, working some of the time against a group of 20 college seniors. The week ends with an intrasquad game Saturday night at the Thomas & Mack Center. The roster could then be trimmed before the team reconvenes next month in New York to continue its training before leaving for Europe. The world championships run Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Turkey. Colangelo won’t make any predictions about who will make the final roster, saying the team is “just wide open as to what our plan is.” Durant is considered a lock, having nearly made the team that played in the 2007 Olympic qualifier before he played his first NBA game. There were no such questions about the roster the last

and a number of players who will be in camp took part in a minicamp last summer. Krzyzewski and Colangelo have both said the current national team roster is better than the original one that was picked in 2006. The Americans couldn’t handle all their withdrawals that year, finishing third in the world championships. This time, they feel the pieces are in place to win the tournament for the first time since 1994. Otherwise, they would have to qualify for the Olympics next summer — with the potential of a lockout meaning they’d have to do it without any NBA players. “We feel comfortable with what we have,” Colangelo said. “Let’s just get the job done this summer.”

2009 Pontiac G5 time the Americans played. Most of the team had been together three years before they won gold in the 2008 Olympics, and the core of that team committed early last year to return for another run. But it wasn’t long before talk of free agency put the status of Miami’s new trio in jeopardy. Those who aren’t under contract don’t chance playing in the summer, and though they’ve already signed their deals, it was obvious they wouldn’t be taking part. “That all took its toll. Everything centered around free agency, certainly took the focus away from the world championships. We definitely have our share of guys who couldn’t participate anyway,” Colangelo said, citing injuries to Bryant, Paul, Deron Williams and Tayshaun Prince. Carmelo Anthony was just married, and Colangelo said other players just wanted some time off, so he decided all of them could have a pass without jeopardizing their status in the program, calling it “no harm, no foul.” “All we do is focus on the world championships with excitement about this group, outstanding young players to go with some veterans,” Colangelo said. Mike Krzyzewski and his coaching staff of Jim Boeheim, Mike D’Antoni and Nate McMillan are back, and they’ll have some familiar faces in camp. Billups, Stoudemire and Tyson Chandler all were on the U.S. team that went undefeated in the FIBA Americas tournament three years ago,

public arena is in no way a measure of his lack of interest in the program, or in his previous experiences,” she said. “It’s more a function of his physical condition, health and well-being.” At the February alumni game, Smith’s appearance was a surprise — even to him. UNC didn’t tell him he would be honored during halftime of the “Celebration of a Century” game, for fear he wouldn’t come down to the court because he wanted players to remain in the spotlight. But after a montage thanking Smith for all he had done, the former Tar Heels coach walked to mid-court, flanked by Williams, Guthridge and Eddie Fogler, three of his former assistants. Then dozens of players surrounded Smith, taking turns to embrace him. It was so moving that UNC assistant coach Joe Holladay sat on the bench, tears in his eyes. Bobby Jones — an AllAmerican under Smith in the 1970s, and part of an NBA championship team in Philadelphia — had thought about what he wanted to say. He knew Smith was having problems with his memory. “So I just said, ‘Coach, it’s Bobby Jones. Thanks for all you’ve done for me. We all love you.’ He looked up. I could tell he certainly recognized me, and said ‘Hey, Bobby.’ ” In that moment, encircled by his former players and the cheering crowd, Dean Smith remembered.

needed to come out of a game; and the idea of pointing a finger at the teammate who passed the ball for a basket. He was also known for running a clean program, and he recruited UNC’s first black scholarship basketball player, Charlie Scott. Smith and his family have stayed in Chapel Hill, where he’s been active in church and social issues. He still attends public events, such as the Carolina Kids Classic golf tournament last month. He still has an office at the Dean Smith Center and an open door for any former player. People started questioning Smith’s health in early 2008. Linnea Smith told The Raleight News & Observer then that Smith had “cardiological and neurological complications” after knee replacement surgery in December 2007. Dean Smith told The N&O then that he was “fine,” and looking forward to cheering for the Tar Heels the next day. Since then, interviews have subsided — then halted. Bill Guthridge, who was one of Smith’s longtime assistants and succeeded him as head coach, said he talked to Smith at his office last week. “He likes baseball, and I like baseball, and so we talk a lot about that during the summer,” Guthridge said. “Then when it gets close to basketball season, he starts talking basketball. He still talks with Roy about basketball a lot.” Linnea Smith said she hopes players know they’re still welcome to visit and that Smith still wants to see them. “His withdrawal from the

Redick said, chuckling. “We went back to the hotel and played the fax game. There was some stuff that was lost in translation with the hotel employees, but we got it done.” Then came the wait. Because Redick was a restricted free agent, the Magic had seven days to decide whether to match Chicago’s offer. The Redicks would have to wait all seven. A week later on a Barcelona beach, phone calls started to trickle in that Redick would be staying with the Magic. They scurried into the first restaurant they could find — a shoddy place, as he recalled — to try and get official word. Not really an ideal location. “We walked in and it was an old lady behind the counter and like four chairs,” Redick said, laughing. “And then we just did some stuff to kill time. I got back, and my phone was lighting up and I

ORLANDO, Fla. — As if emotions aren’t high enough on a honeymoon, J.J. Redick was on edge awaiting word in Europe on whether the Orlando Magic would match an offer Chicago made for the restricted free agent. “My gut feeling changed about seven times during that week,” Redick said. It was only fitting that the culmination of his remarkable turnaround would occur in such fashion. Nothing has come easy in the NBA for Redick, but the work has paid off. The former Duke standout is getting more than $19 million for the next three seasons to remain with the Magic, the same team that once benched him. With Vince Carter signed for only one more season, Redick will likely have the opportunity in the coming years to be a starter.

“I think I can start on a lot of teams. I don’t think I’ll start on this team (now), and I’m OK with that,” Redick said. “I’d be lying REDICK to say that I don’t want to start at some point.” The latest journey couldn’t have begun at a stranger time. Redick was in Rome with his newlywed wife, Chelsea, when he learned the Bulls would be making him an offer. They were eating dinner the following day in Florence when the offer became official. “I think the people at the restaurant must have thought I was crazy or I didn’t like my wife because I was literally getting up like every 10 minutes and going out to the square and pacing around. I pace when I talk on the phone,”

Rowan’s Zach Smith takes a swing as he’s watched, from left, by Matt Miller, Russell Michalec, Will Sapp, Hayden Untz, Noah Holmes and Andy Austin.

ROWAN FROM 1C Kernersville (21-13) goes for the clincher against the defending state champs tonight at East Forsyth High. Kernersville will send Kevin Parrish (4-1) to the hill. Rowan coach Jim Gantt was undecided. Kernersville deserves credit for overcoming a four-run deficit on the road, but Rowan gave away Game 3 at least as much as Kernersville took it. Rowan rapped into four rallykilling double plays and committed five errors, with four miscues piling up in a disastrous seventh-inning snowball that swung momentum. “I don’t think we can be as bad as we were tonight,” Gantt said. “This performance wasn’t typical or indicative of the kind of talent we have. “But bad as we were, we still had our chances.” Rowan hit the ball well enough. It had 13 hits, including three by Will Sapp. Zach Smith and Hayden Untz stayed hot with two hits each. Noah Holmes had two solid hits and two walks. Rowan starting pitcher Thomas Allen ran into immediate trouble. Kernersville opened the game with four straight hits and scored three times in the first. The visitors tacked on one more run in the second, and Rowan was forced to play uphill for the second straight night. “Another bad start, but this time we did battle back,” Gantt said. The battling back started after Rowan catcher Luke Thomas made a terrific diving catch, lunging toward the Kernersville dugout, in the top of the fourth. Then Thomas opened the bottom of the fourth with a line single. A walk and Sapp’s bunt single filled the bases, and Untz, Matt Miller and Justin Morris knocked in runs. Kernersville turned a 6-4-3 twin killing on the blistering-hot Smith to escape the inning, but Rowan put together an even bigger inning in the sixth, scoring five times to knock out Kernersville starter Shane Dickerson. Andy Austin’s hustling leadoff double triggered the big inning. Untz delivered the RBI single that tied the game 4-4. Smith’s two-run double to the opposite field put Rowan on top 64, and Holmes capped the outburst by drilling a double high off the wall in right-center for an 8-4 advantage that looked pretty secure. “I really thought we had it,” said Austin, who turned in a defensive gem in the sixth. “But what wins baseball

games is perfect pitching, perfect defense and timely hitting. We just had too many errors to beat that team.” Reliever Alex Litaker, a curveballing wizard in Game 1, rolled through the fifth and sixth for Rowan, but then everything fell apart. Harrison led off the pivotal top of the seventh with his team down by four runs. “I was thinking about laying down a bunt, but I got down in the count,” Harrison explained. “I was fortunate he hung a pitch and I hit it good.” It left the bat looking like a routine flyball to right, but it carried off the wall, and Harrison had a rare Newman Park triple that ignited his team. Next, Odell, always a tough out, tapped a swinging bunt back to Litaker. Litaker threw it away at first, and things went south in a hurry. Untz threw a ball wildly trying for a great play, and Holmes didn’t make a play at third he almost always makes. Suddenly, it was 8-8. Chad Loflin, sensing a chance for a breakthrough win, sent Harrison to the mound. “We had to try to get this one,” Loflin said. “And he’s been our closer all year.” Harrison got out of a first-andthird jam in the seventh with the help of a double play. Rowan’s third pitcher, Will Johnson, fanned all four batters he faced, so if he had a chance to do it over, Gantt would’ve brought Johnson in to pitch the Kernersville eighth instead of sticking with Litaker. But hindsight is always 20/20. Litaker got two quick outs, then got ahead of Harrison, but he singled to extend the inning. Odell followed with his game-winning bomb on a mistake — a changeup that stayed belt high and middle in. “I hit that one clean,” Odell said. “It’s one of those you know is going out.” Harrison made Odell’s majestic homer stand up. He struck out Thomas with two on to end the eighth and zipped through the ninth, fanning Untz on a curve to end it. “They’re a hitting team,” Harrison said. “I pitched backwards, started ’em slow, then busted them with the fastball, and my defense backed me up.” Hacking at the first pitch, Austin flied out for the first out in the ninth. He looked disgusted, but not discouraged. “Harrison was a good pitcher, but he wasn’t nothing different than guys we’ve hit before,” Austin said. “We’ve just to go up there now and get the bats going early.”

Are herbals appropriate for constipation? Dear Dr. Gott: Is it safe to use cascara sagrada as a laxative? I’ve tried everything else, such as heaping tablespoons of Metamucil and using two stool softeners twice each day with little success. Dear Reader: C a s c a r a sagrada is a shrub native to the western coast of North DR. PETER America. The dried bark of GOTT this plant was used by Native Americans for years but was not widely adopted until the 19th century as a stimulant laxative. The main ingredients are anthraquinones, organic compounds whose structures serve as the basic building blocks for a number of naturally occurring plant pigments. The compound is used in the production of dyes, as a catalyst for the production of wood pulp and has a number of other purposes. The product is available in capsule form, liquid extract and as a dried bark that can be made into a bitter tea. Fresh bark should not be used because it can cause diarrhea and vomiting. Traditionally, the bark is either dried for at least one year or put through a special heat treatment. A common dose is from 20 to 70 milligrams daily. It should not be used for longer than seven or eight days in a row without physician approval. The herb is commonly taken in the early evening, since it takes from six to 12 hours to work. Cascara sagrada is one of the few

herbs approved as an overthe-counter by the Food and Drug Administration. The product should not be used by people with congestive heart failure, severe anemia, cancer of the GI tract, liver, kidney or diverticular disease, ulcerative colitis and a number of other conditions. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, those with allergies or stomach pain, or in conjunction with prescription or nonprescription medications, herbals or dietary supplements. I have no experience with this remedy for constipation and recommend that you speak with your primarycare physician before using it. Side effects include severe allergic reactions, such as hives and itching, rectal bleeding, difficulty breathing, abdominal cramping, potassium loss and a few other unwanted symptoms. It can also turn urine pink, red, violet, yellow, brown or black. Your physician should be consulted to determine whether your constipation is caused by a specific medical condition that should be addressed. While waiting for an appointment, modify your diet to include between 20 and 35 grams of fiber daily. Fiber can be found in whole-grain breads, fortified cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables. Limit your consumption of processed foods, meats and cheeses. Increase your fluid intake, and coordinate a regimen of regular exercise. Laxatives should be avoided if at all possible because they tend to be habit forming. Try a

stool softener, saline laxative or a fiber supplement such as the Metamucil you are on. If this fails to work, acupuncture or massage to the abdominal area might be helpful. If all these suggestions fail, ask your physician for a referral to a gastroenterologist. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Constipation and Diarrhea.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H.

Tuesday, July 20 One of the most constructive relationships you’ve ever formed may develop for you in the year ahead. It will be with an individual who will introduce you to a whole new variety of interests that will open your eyes to a greater world. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — As long as you don’t prejudge events in advance, things will turn out to your liking. In fact, it is likely to be a far more exciting day for you if you simply flow with the tide. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Preventive maintenance now can save you a bundle of money later. Those items on which you spend a little bit of time taking good care of now will continue to remain in excellent condition. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Keep your priorities in order by working from a checklist of all your important assignments. If you have a plan and are methodical now and it will pay off for you in both time and money. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be as gracious of a receiver today as you are a giver. Someone who thinks highly of you may offer you an item of considerable value today and would have his/her feelings hurt if you refused it. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Because complications could arise if you aren’t a bit of a risktaker today when the occasion calls for it, you need to recognize when you are operating in this kind of territory. Be open-minded. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Continue to vigorously pursue a secret ambition you’ve been nurturing for some time that has profitable possibilities. Staying on top of it will eventually generate impressive returns. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Instead of just sitting around simply wishing for things to occur for you, get up and make something happen. You’re smart enough to know what must be done to get things rolling. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Challenges can stir up your juices to succeed, even if it takes a second or third effort to do so. Your appreciation for the value of persistence will serve you very well today. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You can’t merely talk about things to make them a reality, what you have to offer must be promoted and sold. Fortunately, you’ll know how to shape an effective presentation to the right people. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Things rarely are exactly as we envision them to be, so be prepared to make adjustments when events or items don’t fit perfectly into your plans. Make things happen your way. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Once you put your mind to it, you’ll find multiple solutions to a problem you originally thought had one answer. Chances are you’ll even find one that’s far better than your first conclusion. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — You are likely to be the one calling the shots on a challenging assignment, but that doesn’t mean others shouldn’t have any input at all. In fact, it would be wise to pick their brains a bit. United FeatUre Syndicate

A single jump with a six-bagger one heart and two diamonds. The only chance is to establish a long diamond in the dummy. But if the diamonds are splitting 4-2, not 3-3, that will require ruffing twice in hand and need three dummy entries. These have to be one high diamond and two top spades. After winning the first trick, South plays a spade to his ace, takes dummy’s top diamonds (entry one), ruffs a diamond high in his hand, leads a trump to dummy (entry two), ruffs a diamond high, plays a trump to dummy for entry three (drawing West’s last spade), and discards a loser on the high diamond seven.

This week we are looking at jump overcalls in a suit. A single jump shows a hand similar to one for a weak-two opening. You will have a sixcard suit and probably 5-10 high-card points. The vulnerability will have some influence. You can be more aggressive when nonvulnerable. Discuss with your partner how weak your hand and suit may be. You hope to inconvenience the opponents, but if partner has a strong hand, he should be able to place the contract with accuracy — as in this deal. Against four spades, West leads the heart seven to dummy’s ace. How should South plan the play? After East opens one heart, South jumps to two spades. Yes, he is vulnerable

Zsa Zsa has surgery on broken hip LOS ANGELES (AP) — Her husband says Zsa Zsa Gabor underwent successful surgery Monday to replace the hip she broke over the weekend when she fell out of bed at her Bel-Air home. Prince Frederic von Anhalt says the 93-year-old actress was in surgery for 31⁄2 hours at Ronald Reagan UCLA medical center. In a telephone call, he said she was in recovery and he was waiting to see her.

and, yes, he has no short suit, but this bid describes his hand very well and potentially makes life tough for West. North then has no trouble in jumping to four spades. South has four losers: two hearts and two clubs. He has only nine winners: six spades,
