ALISBURY — Terry Holt, in the role of physician, instructed the young Civil War recruits to line up in front of him for a medical examination. It was a ragtag group. “Can you hear?” Holt shouted to the youngsters as they stepped forward. “Do your arms work?” “Do your knees work?” “How are your teeth?” “Do you have any other medMARK ical conditions?” WINEKA Each potential soldier answered “yes” to the hearing question, “no” to the medical conditions query, “fine” or “good” as to the teeth and raised their arms and legs to show everything was working physically. “Are you ready to enlist?” Drill Sgt. Luther Sowers then asked. “We don’t have time to waste. We got a war to fight.” By choosing colored marbles, the 14 recruits were divided into two seven-member compa-

SALISBURY — Calling star,” City Council on Tuesday unanimously appointed Doug Paris interim city manager. Paris, 27, has been City Manager David Treme’s protege since 2007. Now, Paris will step into his mentor’s shoes for a few months while officials search for Treme’s replacement. Treme will retire Aug. 1 after more than 25 years as city manager. Paris is “a rising star in the public administration arena,” Councilman William “Pete” Kennedy said. Paris, who’s served for nine months as assistant city manager, oversees legislative affairs for Salisbury. It’s an increasingly critical area, as legislation aimed at annexation, broadband and other topics directly effects the city. He recently crafted the city’s crucial exemption from a new state law limiting government’s ability to

Slow growth: County chalks up slight construction increase BY ELIZABETH COOK ecook@salisburypost.com
The U.S. Commerce Department says new home construction across the country grew slightly from May to June, and the same holds true in Rowan County. But our numbers are small. The county issued eight building permits for singlefamily homes in May and nine in June. The permits did grow considerably in value, though — from $1,548,120 in May to $2,400,972 in June, or by 55 percent, according to the county’s Code Enforcement and Inspection Office. The U.S. Commerce De-

partment says builders across the country began work on a seasonally adjusted 629,000 homes last month, a 14.6 percent increase from May. That’s roughly half the 1.2 million homes per year that economists say must be built to sustain a healthy housing market. Rowan has a steep hill to climb to get to normal levels. At the height of the local housing boom in 2007, builders got permits to build 706 houses in Rowan. About the halfway point of 2011, the total number of permits issued for new homes is only 52. That’s even fewer than in 2010, when the number issued Today’s forecast 94º/72º Another chance for storms
in the first half was 105. Neighboring Cabarrus County issued permits for 2,140 single-family homes in pre-Recession 2007 — three times the Rowan total that year. New home permits issued from Jan. 1 to July 19 this year in Cabarrus total 327, compared to 336 last year. Sandy Howell, a permit technician in the Rowan County Code Enforcement and Inspection Office, said new home starts may be slow, but construction in other areas keeps the office busy. “In Rowan County, commercial has really stayed steady,” Howell said. “Commercial has really kept this area alive, which is great be-

cause it brings in jobs.” Since Jan. 1, the office has issued 20 permits for commercial projects totalling $8,575,848 in value, she said. Projects under way include the Webb Road Flea Market and a Sheetz gas station. In previous years, commercial permit activity in Rowan was: • 2010: 27 permits at $13,754,925 value • 2009: 19 permits at $9,596,140 value • 2008: 254 permits at $26,548,275 value (Includes the Grand on Julian apartment complex) Fifty-seven permits have been issued in Rowan this year for residential additions Jesse W.

Permits for new housing units also beat expectations, increasing 2.5 percent in June following an 8.2-percent jump in May. Private-sector analysts had expected a 2.3-percent drop in permits from May to June.

“While today’s new construction report is encouraging, the housing market remains fragile,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said. “If America fails to meet its obligations, it would lead to a sharp decline in household wealth and higher mortgage rates, which would profoundly damage the housing market’s recovery. Now is the time for members of both parties to make tough choices and take a balanced approach to solve this problem, so we can focus on getting more Americans back to work.” With contributions from the Associated Press.

FROM 1a ford the former employees an opportunity to review the written notices of dismissal prior to their release as required under the Public Records Act.” Baldo did not return calls for comment Tuesday. The dismissals are the second major blow in a month for the department, which also was hit recently with the loss of a gang prevention grant. A report released Friday by the Office of the State Auditor said that the town of East Spencer had misappropriated funds. Baldo said Friday he was not a part of the administration that made decisions regarding the $540,000 grant, which was awarded over two years by the N.C. Governor’s Crime Commission in May 2009. In August 2010, Baldo became the town’s fifth police chief since 2005. He had been
serving as interim chief of the East Spencer Police Department after the former chief, Ron Hines, resigned in May 2010. State Auditor Beth Wood said Friday there is no evidence that the town intentionally misrepresented their plans for the grant funds and “it was more of a misunderstanding.” According to the report, East Spencer used the money to pay the salaries of two police officers who did not primarily focus on gang activities, in violation of the grant requirements. The report also said the town failed to report management personnel changes, which created inadequate segregation of duties. Town officials told the Office of the State Auditor that they believed they were spending the money appropriately because the Crime Commission approved the use of funds for patrol officers. The grant money has been suspended, and the Crime Commission is still investigating if East Spencer will have to repay funds.

Gravesite visit In the cemetery, Holt took both companies to the grave of Salisbury’s Col. Charles Fisher, the first Rebel officer to have died in the war at the Battle of Manassas (Bull Run, to Northerners). Connolly guided each company through a gun salute to Fisher. “I like being the commander because it makes me feel like I’m in charge of something,” said Richard, a rising seventhgrader at North Rowan Middle School and the only female among the troops. For many of the middlegraders, their only exposure to Civil War history had come in the fifth grade. “It’s good,” Brady, a rising eighth-grader said of the camp. “I like marching and pretending to be in the Civil War. ... And it happened right here, in Salisbury.” Will Anthony said he “just felt like learning about the Civil War.” He will be a rising sixth-grader at North Rowan Middle.

Terry Holt conscripts the campers into two groups of seven union soldiers and seven Confederate Soldiers during Tuesday’s Civil War exercise.
The young soldiers learn to march in line. Mack Freeman, going into the sixth grade at Erwin Middle, said he has read a lot about history in general through books and computer research — “just because I want to.” He recalled fondly going to a French and Indian War reenactment at Fort Dobbs in Statesville. “I thought it was cool up there,” Freeman said. And he still remembers a trip when he was younger to Charleston, S.C., a city with a rich Civil War history. Freeman loves to ride horses. “If I bring my horse tomorrow,” he asked Holt, “can I be in the cavalry?” “If you bring your horse tomorrow,” Holt answered, staying in character, “we’ll have him for lunch.” The sessions last from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. Today’s activities take in period-correct cooking and recreation, the battle and writing letters home. Thursday, the final day, will include an exchange of prisoners between the companies; discussions of the Salisbury Confederate Prison; walks to the National Cemetery, Hall House and Confederate Monument; and — don’t tell the Grays — a surrender. Today’s battle was already predetermined: Each side could expect one dead, two wounded and two cap-

Tough life The soldier’s life was not an easy one, given the dangers they faced in battles, the constant marching and all the hardtack they were eating. Holt reminded the recruits that the typical pay was $11 a month. And when they enlisted, he added, they were signing up for the whole war. “Take care of your feet, take care of your insides,” Holt advised them. And the last place they wanted to end up was the Salisbury Confederate Prison, Holt added. “Make sure you do everything to avoid being captured,” he said. Holt shared with the sol-

diers how punishment for bad behavior was carried out, and they received a good overview of the “compass war” — how it was a battle between North and South that was conducted mainly in the east and west. Things turned to the North’s favor, they learned, when the Union scored victories in 1863 in both the east and west — Gettysburg and Vicksburg, respectively. Sowers put both companies through their first-ever drills Tuesday morning, teaching them the basics of turning, standing, marching and shouldering their arms. He drilled the Union company first. After the session ended, Sowers concluded, “God save the North.” But when his work with the Rebel company had finished, he changed his tune. “The tide of the battle has changed,” Sowers reported. “Now it’s God help the South.”

HENDERSON (AP) — A small North Carolina company with big backers plans to build a solar cell manufacturing plant employing more than 250 people after getting a promise of up to $18 million of tax breaks and other incentives. Gov. Bev Perdue’s office on Tuesday announced Durhambased Semprius Inc. will spend nearly $90 million to build the plant in the Vance County town of Henderson. The company’s factory will make components that concentrate the sun’s energy and can then be used in solar systems built by utility companies and others. One of Semprius’s investors include German technology giant Siemens, which builds solar farms. Semprius must hire 10 workers by the end of this year and 230 by the end of 2015 to keep the incentives.
country’s most horrible, bloody period. “When do we get to shoot somebody?” Ben Coulter joked after the fake rifles and pistols were issued with exploding caps as ammunition. Their Civil War battle actually comes this afternoon at the Old Stone House in Granite Quarry. Until then, the new enlistees went through a lot of drilling, medical training, marching, individual and company flag-making and reconnaissance — learning things about how the Civil War was fought and lived, even in Salisbury. “Today surpassed what I even thought it could be,” said Kaye Brown Hirst, executive director of Rowan Museum Inc. Tuesday’s first day included instruction at the Rowan Museum, the old county courthouse that already was in existence during the Civil War. The new troops also marched to the Salisbury Emporium, where owner Mickey Black gave details about the Civil War arsenal that had been located across the railroad tracks along today’s Kerr Street. After the arsenal, it was a quick march to the Old Lutheran Cemetery, where the soldiers had lunch under a shade tree before drilling more with Salisbury High student Simon Connolly, clad in full Confederate dress.

HUNTERSVILLE (AP) — Large osprey and eagle populations have caused the Carolina Raptor Center to run short on fish. News 14 Carolina reported Tuesday that the Huntersville center is seeking donations of fresh and unprocessed fish to help feed the birds of prey. Center spokesman Jim Warren said higher numbers at the rehabilitation center may reflect the growing population of raptors in North Carolina as more effort is aimed at habitat protection across the state. Warren also said migrating ospreys tend to spend more time in North Carolina when summer temperatures are above average, as they have been this year. Staff at the center said the birds can eat more than five pounds of fish per day. The raptor center is currently housing 170 injured and orphan raptors, including owls, falcons and osprey.

Zumbathon to benefit woman who has cancer B Y J OANIE M ORRIS For the Salisbury Post
Vanessa Allred considers herself a lucky person. Living a full life, the young woman has two beautiful children, a happy husband and recently just got back from a trip to Florida and another to Hawaii. “I don’t really have much to complain about,” said Allred from her home in Rowan County. “I have a wonderful family. I have wonderful friends.” She has more to complain about than most. In March ,she was given only eight to nine months to live. But she’ll never utter a complaint. Vanessa was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in June 2009. A type of bone cancer, it showed up in her lower right leg. After six months
of chemotherapy, doctors removed the knee and lower leg bone and replaced them with titanium. “They thought I was cancer-free,” said Vanessa. “I went back after three months and they found spots in my lungs.” The cancer had spread to her lungs, causing another round of chemotherapy and, in January, surgery to remove nine tumors in her lungs. After the surgery, she was home less than 24 hours before being rushed back to the emergency room with a collapsed lung. This was the new norm. In the past six months, she’s been to the emergency room and in and out of the hospital four times with a collapsed lung. During one of those trips, doctors discovered she had more tumors in her lungs. “I did five rounds of radi-
ation,” said Vanessa. After her surgery in January, she refused more chemotherapy. “They wanted to do chemo after this last surgery, but it wasn’t going to do any good,” she said. That’s when she started thinking more about quality of life, not quantity. Told the chemotherapy wouldn’t prolong her eight to nine months left to live, she opted to research alternative medicine and treatments Thanks to an anonymous donor, Vanessa took a trip with her husband to Hawaii for two weeks to take part in the Gerson Therapy, a detox and natural supplement therapy she really believes has helped her feel better. “I have more energy,” Allred said. “Everybody keeps saying I look better. If it wasn’t for the awful pains,
I’d feel much better.” Allred attributes the pain to the growth of tumors. The radiation breaks the tumors up and lessens her pain, the only reason she continues to do the radiation. During all of this, Allred has been amazed at the kindness and generosity of friends and strangers alike. Her church, First Baptist, held a hot dog fundraiser and sent her family — husband Shane, daughter Brenna, 13, and son Jackson, 9 — to Walt Disney World. Friends held a corn hole tournament to raise funds for her, and others have thrown yard sales. “I am so thankful to everybody that’s done something,” said Allred. “There have been so many people who have done so much. I can’t write thank you cards, because I’d be writing them

DA: Blood evidence not determinant factor in cases
MOVIE MAN
BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Rowan County District Attorney Brandy Cook has concluded her review of three cases called into question over issues with the State Bureau of Investigation lab’s blood work. “The blood evidence in question was not a determinant factor,” Cook said in a statement. The Rowan cases are: Gary Alvin Starnes, who was charged with second-degree murder in 1993; Donald Gene Shores, who was charged with attempted first-degree rape and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury in 1994, and Paul Eugene Henry, who was convicted of breaking and entering and habitual felon in 1997. Attorney General Roy Cooper called for the review, saying crime lab analysts “omitted, overstated or falsely reported blood evidence.” Across the state, a number of cases were flagged by an independent review process and others identified by an SBI internal review. District attorneys in several counties were asked to review the cases.

Will Merrick shoots a video on Main Street on Tuesday. Merrick is going to film school at the University of Southern California.
Local student headed for film school at USC BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — When Will Merrick picked up a video camera at the age of 11, he had one goal in mind; creating his own version of the famed light saber battle. “I’m ashamed to say it now, but I used to be in love with those special-effect laden ‘Star Wars’ movies, even though I know the older movies are better,” he said. “I love the sounds and visuals.” Fast-foward seven years and Merrick still hasn’t filmed that light saber fight, but at this point it’s the last thing on his mind. The 18-year-old Salisbury resident said he stumbled on different stories to pursue while teaching himself the ins and outs of filmmaking. Not only is he the man behind the camera, he’s also the

man behind the script, the editing and the directing. And this fall he’s heading to the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, where he plans to hone his skills. Eventually, he hopes to put down the pen and ditch the editing software to focus solely on directing. “I know everybody says they want to be a director, but I think it fits my abilities well because I’m pretty social," he said. “One reason I don’t want
to be a writer is because I can’t sit at a desk by myself and just think of ideas, I like to be around people.” Merrick was also accepted to New York University, the University of California, Los Angeles and the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, but he opted to attend USC because of the more than $20,000 scholarship he’ll receive each year. Reid Leonard, director of Piedmont Players Theatre, said it’s no surprise Merrick
was accepted into one of the top films school in the country. “It’s the Salisbury equivalent of having a football player being recruited by top colleges all over the country,” he said. Leonard said he’s looking forward to following Merrick’s career. “Who knows where he’ll end up?” he said. “Will he make big features? Will he make commercials? Will he make documentaries? You just have to wait and see. “He’s going to be fun to follow.” • • • Before moving to California, Merrick hopes to wrap up his first short film, “Chancing Dreams.” “I’ve been working on it a couple of years so that’s the

Cody Khan’s family holds on to ‘any little positive thing’ BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com
When Cody Khan was born 13 weeks premature, he received a blue teddy bear. The same stuffed animal now sits beside him in a Wilmington hospital, where he has been in a coma since a hit-and-run accident left him in critical condition. Khan’s mother, Charlotte, refers to it as the “prayer bear,” and said her family held on to the toy over the last 21 years because the family believes it spurred a miracle in Cody’s birth. She hopes it can do it again. Cody was struck by a vehicle on South College Street in Wilmington on July 2. Khan, a rising senior at UNC at Pembroke, was visiting friends over the Independence Day weekend. The driver of the vehicle did not stop. Police later arrested and charged Erica Kane, 27, on July 8 with felony hit and run. Kane was released after posting a $3,000 bond.

Court upholds fine for bar that allowed smoking RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Court of Appeals has upheld fines against a Greensboro bar that continued to allow patrons to smoke even after the state enacted a smoking ban. A three-judge panel ruled unanimously Tuesday that Gate City Billiards owed the fines, saying the bar didn’t prove that a private club definition that allows smoking at nonprofit private clubs but not at for-profit ones was unconstitutional. The judges also said Gate City didn’t provide any evidence of its own membership requirements that would prove that it’s a private club.
BLOOD FROM 3a Starnes, now 50, is serving a life sentence for the shooting death of Richard Allen “Ricky” Burridge. In November 1993, Burridge was found in a ditch in eastern Rowan County, shot twice in the abdomen. Starnes pleaded guilty and there was no trial. Investigators told the court at the time the victim was robbed, his truck was stolen and later abandoned in Kannapolis. Shores, now 41, was paroled in October 2009, serving 14 years of a maximum 20-year sentence for the assault and a maximum 15-year sentence for the attempted rape. In 1997, Henry pleaded guilty to breaking into several Rowan County churches along with another man and a juvenile. Henry served 10 years in prison. He also served time for other charges in both Rowan, Cabarrus and Iredell counties that occurred before his 1997 arrest. In June 2009, Henry was charged with second-degree kidnapping, robbery with a dangerous weapon, burglary and a sex offense. Those charges against Henry, now 41, are pending. “In each case, other evidence supported the defendant’s conviction,” Cook said. Last year a Wake County man was released from prison after serving 17 years for a murder he did not commit. Taylor’s innocence hearing prompted a further look into lab work for cases from 19872003.

Reflections of the past: Hedrick Cottage, Nazareth host reunion B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Not long ago, Jasper, a teen who voluntarily entered Nazareth Children’s Home, had no thoughts of his future. Today, the 17-year-old is studying to become a certified nursing assistant. By the time the high school student graduates, he’ll be closer to his goal of becoming a message therachiropractor or pist, acupuncturist. Jasper was no longer able to live with his grandparents. He’d previously gone to a wilderness camp and decided he’d “rather live at a group home,” Jasper said. He lived at Hedrick Cottage, retrained his way of thinking and in the process learned more about himself. Jasper left the Cottage three months ago, but returned Monday to reunite with the couple — Thomas and Staci Cousar, who were essentially his surrogate parents. Jasper was just one of more than a dozen other teens who gathered at Dan Nicholas Park for food, fellowship and reflection. “The purpose is to reconnect with all the boys who used to be at Hedrick. Some are doing well,” said Thomas Cousar. “I have respect for them,” Jasper said, the most respect he has for many people in his life. The reunion is also a way for the Cousars to stay in contact with the boys, Staci said. Jasper acknowledges he’s not a people person, but said “they made me completely comfortable.” The Cousars, like other teaching parents at Nazareth, apply the teaching family model, which is to assist children to change maladaptive behaviors that they may have used in the past to get their needs met and replace those behaviors with appropriate skills. “I learned everything doesn’t have to be done in violence,” Jasper said. He calls the teaching model, positive manipulation. “They are steps to accepting feedback. You may hear things you don’t want to hear and part of those skills are to remain calm,” Thomas Cousar said. “There are steps to following instruction by the person in authority,” Cousar said. Cousar and his wife work to teach the teens to be men, to respect authority and be productive in society. “It’s a family, a true family,” Cousar said. He and his wife live in the cottage with the teens for 21 days of the month, 24 hours a day. Some of the teens, the couple haven’t seen in three years. “You guys have done phenomenal things since you’ve been here. I just think it’s about time you guys start getting credit for the things that you do,” Cousar told the teens gathered. Each teen shared their experiences at Hedrick and

Thomas Cousar, standing, and his wife, Staci, rear, are teaching parents at Hedrick Cottage at the Nazareth Children’s Home. They have a picnic at Dan Nicholas Park where they bring back there former residents that have left to meet current cottage members. Stories of struggles and accomplishments are discussed and shared as a form of encouragement.
Thomas Cousar speaks at the reunion. Watch the video “NAZARETH REUNION” Go to www.salisburypost.com how they’ve benefited from what they learned. Solomon, 16, is currently living in a foster home, is grateful to Thomas and Staci Cousar. “I just thank Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Staci because they helped me become the person I am,” Solomon said. He said the couple told him to not let anyone tell him he can’t be great and do great in life. Solomon plans to study marine biology at East Carolina University. Sheldon, 15, came to Nazareth not sure how to control his anger. It was during a fit of anger that made his foster parents turn to Nazareth. “I learned how to follow instruction and that’s helped me a lot since was there,” he said.
Salisbury attorney Michael Phillips spoke to the teens about being successful. He listened to them talk of their experiences. “I’m just here to take in and absorb your successes,” he said. Phillips told them about growing up in a single-parent household and the choices he had to make as a child to either follow the crowd or obey his mother. “The only thing that matters are the choices you make,” he said. Phillips has seen many of the teens in a court setting, but said this was a great experience to see them in a different atmosphere. “The last thing they need is someone to give up on them,” Phillips said. The reunion was also a way for those who’ve volunteered throughout the years to visit. Glenn Shimmel is one of those who volunteered during fishing trips. Erick Neely, a local barber, is another volunteer who routinely cuts the boy’s hair. Neely said he has respect for each and every teen. “I don’t see troubled teens,” he said. Neely encouraged the teens to “keep up the good work.” Sam Adams, who is also a teaching parent at Hedrick, said the success stories are what motivates him.
Jasper listens to a guest speaker. “I look at this as making a lasting impression on people’s lives,” Adams said. Rosalind Lindsay sits on the board of directors at Rowan Helping Ministries where the teens volunteer at the shelter, give out clothing and work in the soup kitchen. “I see you there and you are really presenting yourselves well. I’m just really proud of you,” she said. Hedrick Cottage is looking for more men to volunteer their time. For more information about volunteering, contact the Cousars at 980-235-5064.

Former representative visits Salisbury agency
CANCER
Former U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge, now director of the N.C. Office of Economic Recovery and Investment, visited the Salisbury Rowan Community Action Agency Tuesday. The visit was a planned tour of non-profits, community action agencies that operate weatherization programs and received additional funding through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act stimulus Program. Etheridge met with members of the action agency’s staff, including Randall Dean, weatherization assistant director; Avery Staley, human resources director; Joann P. Diggs, interim executive director; Pete Kennedy, board chairman and Tammy Corpening, board member. Several topics were covered in this meeting: • The need for the agency to “tell our stories” and market itself to protect funding. • The Urgent Repair Program in Rowan County, encouraging the agency to make referrals to the program. • Staffing for the Weatherization Program. • Energy savings, job creation and changing people’s lives by providing weatherization services.
Heather Caltrider, a friend of Allred’s from East Rowan High School, said she just felt like she should organize something to help the family with medical bills, which have added up to more than $2 million. Allred’s insurance has paid what it can. The Glow will be held at the center, formerly the Salisbury YMCA, where the lights will be turned off and participants will be able to do Zumba under the glow of blacklights. Participants are asked to wear neon or white clothing. Six Zumba instructors have donated their time and a DJ will spin tunes for free. “I thought it would be a good way to raise a lot of money for her,” said Caltrider. Zumba-lovers can participate for $10, all of which will go to help the Allred family with medical bills. “It’s pretty amazing,” said Allred. “I had no idea when I got sick that so many people cared so much. “You don’t really think about that much until you get sick,” she added. “They good comes out in people. You see things in a whole different light.” Allred said she’s not bitter about the hand that life has dealt her, and in fact has found pleasure in the simple things in life. She doesn’t take a single second for granted. “The way I look at it is, the doctors don’t know,” she said of her eight to nine months, which would expire in October or November. “God’s the only one that knows when we’re going to die. … “You kind of just have to make the best of what you’ve got and not think about it.” The Zumba Glow will start at 7 p.m. on Friday and costs $10 to attend. For more information or to donate for Vanessa’s medical bills, contact Heather Caltrider at 704-267-6202. A prayer page has been set up on Facebook where prayer warriors can get updates about Allred and learn prayer requests. Search “Praying for V” in the Facebook search tool.
Cody’s best friend. “They grew up together,” she said. “I feel like we can raise a lot of money for them.” The event will have food and donations will go the family’s medical bills. A website dedicated to helping the Khans with medical bills has also been set up. According to www.giveforward.com/codykhan, nearly $2,300 has been raised for the family. Charlotte said she’s thankful for the prayers and support. She said she’s holding on to “any little positive thing.” “I get so excited,” Charlotte said. “It’s like winning the lottery.” Last week, as she read to Cody in his glass ICU room with the blue bear on the nightstand, a tear rolled down his cheek. “I just felt like he heard me.”

Lots of support Cody has a constant stream of support, according to Charlotte, from friends, family and Phi Kappa Tau brothers, in which Khan is a member. Several Salisbury residents are also raising support and awareness. Fundraising jars at the Farm House restaurant on Jake Alexander Boulevard in Salisbury and Charlie’s Ice Cream and Groceries in Faith are gathering funds for the family. Michelle Cauble, a family friend, is taking it a step further. She organized a Walk-a-thon for Cody from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 23. “We know his family’s going to need the help,” she said. Cauble’s husband, Trevor, is

“You understand what’s going through your actors’ heads,” he said. Merrick said he doesn’t plan to continue acting at USC. Instead, he intents to focus on filmmaking. “I wouldn’t hold a candle to those actors at USC,” he aid. “But if there was an opportu-
nity, I would take it.” Leonard said although Merrick’s fun to watch on stage, his passion lies in creating movies. “His real fire, his real spark, his imagination is connected with filmmaking,” he said. “It’s amazing the way he can take a story and begin to figure out how to tell it using the camera ....” • • • Merrick said his mother, Julia Merrick, helped cultivate his imagination from an early age. “She gave me this crazy ambition,” he said. “Mom will take us chasing floods and fires and stuff. That’s just a life experience not many people get.” Merrick has been homeschooled by his father, Bill Merrick, since the sixth grade. “We were taught by dad and then mom sort of added the spice,” he said. “I had a lot
more freedom to work on videos because I was home schooled, but that didn’t mean we didn’t do school work.” Merrick said his father’s lessons focused on math and science. And he learned about art and literature simply by reading. In the little free time he has, Merrick paints and dabbles in piano and photography. But videos are the his top priority. “I really do focus on movies, movies, movies,” he said. “If I’m procrastinating I’m usually thinking about another movie I’d like to make.” • • • Merrick said he’s ready to make the move to the other side of the country. “My dad’s addicted to traveling so it’s not like I’ve never been to the big city,” he said. “It will be a culture shock, but it’s not going to be the end of the world.” Merrick compared his
move to Los Angles to bringing a fish home in a plastic bag. “You keep them in the bag until they are used to the water,” he said. “That’s what college is like, it’s sort of an intermediate thing. Leonard said Merrick’s time at USC will help him hone in on his abilities. “Will comes at you with 30 different ideas,” he said. “One of the great things is that USC will help to focus a lot of them. “The important thing is that he’ll come out with a really good, solid, well-rounded education with lots of techniques.” Merrick said, unlike some, he isn’t going to LA looking for fame. “If I wanted to be famous, I would be an actor,” he said. “It’s more about the movie than it is the person who made it. “If people don’t know who I am and they see one of my movies, that’s good enough for me.” Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Raccoons running rampant? BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — Just blocks from the heart of the city, raccoons are traumatizing residents on South Ellis Street. And one homeowner told City Council he thinks the burned-out Blackmer House at 112 S. Fulton St. is infested. “This is a problem my family and my neighbors should not have to endure living four blocks from the Square,” said Don Sayers, who had to chase two furry intruders off his front porch recently. The critters ventured up even though Sayers and his wife were sitting outside.
During the public comment at Tuesday’s council meeting, Sayers asked the city for help. He said he knows of 22 raccoons that have been trapped in the city, including those he’s trapped and disposed of himself. Raccoons have devoured the goldfish in his pond and repeatedly attacked his cat, costing hundreds of dollars in vet bills. They are nesting in an elderly neighbor’s attic and peer at her after dark through her skylight, Sayers said. “They will eat anything,” he said. In one night, raccoons ate nearly 100 ears of corn from a neighbor’s garden.
Sayers asked the city to inspect the former home of the late Sidney and Suzanne Blackmer, which has been vacant for years. If the house harbors raccoons, the city should declare it a nuisance, exterminate the animals and place a lien on the property to recoup the costs, Sayers said. The house has been a source of controversy as some advocate for preservation and others want it torn down. A man who lives near the hospital was bitten by a raccoon and underwent rabies shots, Sayers said. “We need to stop this problem,” he said. “They spread disease.”
Pastor warns gay rally could hurt city businesses BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — A local pastor criticized City Council’s decision to allow a gay pride event in downtown Salisbury this summer. “In my opinion, you have placed every pastor in the community in a very bad position,” Bill Godair, pastor of Cornerstone Church, said Tuesday during the public comment portion of the council meeting. Godair said he’s received at least 130 phone calls, text messages and emails complaining about the event, which was privately organized
and sponsored. The inaugural gathering drew 2,000 people and 200 protestors, by police estimates. One advocate, a 74-year-old woman from Colfax, was ticketed for kissing a protesting street preacher. Godair said he was speaking to Council on behalf of people from 24 churches who have expressed to him their opposition. The city closed Fisher Street for the June 25 event, and Mayor Susan Kluttz proclaimed it Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Day. Council hurt the local economy by allowing the rally, Go-

Godair noted he will not sign it. “I don’t think that we should take our frustrations or anger out on the businesses of Salisbury,” he said. “They are hardworking and possibly had nothing to do with the event.” People should “take your anger to the polls,” he said. “But don’t take it out on business owners.” The worst part of the event was the timing, he said, because there is already a major anti-government sentiment in the city.

Noting that Treme took little time off during his career, Woodson encouraged him to consider teaching city management or politics. “I’ve always been amazed at your sense of timing,” Woodson said. • Councilman William “Pete” Kennedy: When Kennedy was elected 18 years ago, Town Mall stood abandoned on East Innes Street. “Many people drove by Salisbury and laughed at the mall with no tenants,” he said. Thanks to Treme’s leadership, the area is now full of restaurants and shops, Kennedy said. A vacant bakery in the midst of downtown now buzzes with activity from law offices and other businesses, he said. “You’re going to be missed,” he said. • City Clerk Myra Heard: Treme has made a big difference in her life and the lives of her family members, Heard said. “I’ve had the opportunity to see first hand how much Mr. Treme truly loves and cares about other people,” she said. “He is an encourager and a supporter. He sees the very best in people.” • Mayor Susan Kluttz: She praised Treme for his “constant dedication” to Salisbury and his servant leadership. “No one has given more to this city than you,” Kluttz said. Treme’s wife Karen, daughter Julianne VanGraafeiland and son-in-law Pete VanGraafeiland attended the meeting, and Treme thanked Karen especially for her patience and support throughout his career. Salisbury has the best employees anywhere, he said. “I knew I was called to be a city manager at a young age,” he said. Council will award Treme a bonus of about $35,000 upon his retirement. Council will pay Richmond, Va.-based Springstead and Associates $15,700 to recruit and screen candidates during a nationwide search for the next city manager.

‘Bra lift’ search labeled ‘degrading, demeaning’ RALEIGH (AP) — A search for pills at an alternative school that required female students to untuck their shirts and pull out their bras with their thumbs was “degrading, demeaning and highly intrusive,” a divided state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday. The court ruled 2-1 that Brunswick County Academy overstepped when it required the “bra-lift” search on Nov. 5, 2008. The judges mentioned several reasons for their decision, including that the tip about pills wasn’t specific and that there’s no indication that the underwear of male students also was searched. They also mention that a male law enforcement officer observed all the searches, regardless of the sex of the student. “Here, despite the complete lack of any reasonable belief that any single student possessed any pills, the Academy searched all 134 of its students,” said the ruling, written by Judge Cheri Beasley. “Further, the school required all of the girls to per-
form the ‘bra lift’ even if nothing revealed during the less intrusive part of the search suggested that the student was hiding contraband in her underwear.” Brunswick County schools Superintendent Edward Pruden Jr. said Tuesday the schools plan to conform their procedures with the law. The ruling said principal Sandra Robinson acted on a tip from other students that pills that “would cause students to be unsafe” were coming into the school, but she got no further details on what kind of pills or who was bringing them. Students passed through metal detectors, then were required to wait in the lunchroom before being brought one-by-one to a classroom to be searched. But the court said that any group search conducted without suspicion of a particular individual should be limited to less-invasive searches such as pockets, shoes, socks, jackets and pat-downs of outer clothing, the judges said. “Such a search that subjects the students’ undergarments or unclothed bodies to
exposure is unconstitutional if school officials do not have reasonable grounds to believe the particular student possesses the item sought, unless the item is reasonably believed to be imminently dangerous,” the ruling said. School officials should have asked more questions of the informants to find out what kind of pills were being brought to campus and who was bringing them, the judges said. In addition, the parents of the student, identified only as “T.A.S.” because she was a juvenile, should have been called before the bra-lift was conducted, the ruling said. During the search of T.A.S., a white powder identified as Percocet and drug paraphernalia were found. Attorney Geeta Nadia Kapur of Durham said she was thrilled with the decision, especially since it acknowledges the rights of students at alternative schools. Students are assigned to Brunswick County Academy because of disciplinary problems at traditional schools, including substance abuse.
Carteret commission votes to oppose sulfur plant RALEIGH (AP) — The Carteret County Commission is the latest public body in the region to go on record as opposing a sulfur-processing facility with two 150-foot smokestacks that a Canadian company plans to build near downtown Morehead City. Officials with PCS Phosphates, one of the world’s largest producers of fertilizer, said they have been in talks with multiple state, local and federal agencies regarding the proposal since last summer, yet city and county officials maintain that many details have remained unclear. “If we had known what this was all about, we’d have requested face-to-face sitdowns and more information to ascertain exactly what their intent was,” said Greg Lewis, vice chairman of the Carteret County Commission.
spokeswoman PCS Michelle Vaught said the $95 million processing facility is needed to melt solid sulfur after it is received by ships at the Morehead City Port. News of the project became public earlier this month when adjoining property owner Jett Matthews, who operates the Morehead City Yacht Basin, was notified that the port authority would be making changes in the navigable waterway to accommodate sulfur barges used at the new facility. “Once I started investigating what was going on, I started realizing how bad it was,” Matthews said. “There’s page after page of approvals that have already been granted by the state of North Carolina.” State Department of Environment and Natural Resources officials confirmed that permits pertaining to the project have been obtained. “People should have had a
chance to comment on this,” Matthews said. “That’s not what we want here — a melting, boiling cauldron of sulfur.” The facility would be allowed under an amendment to the port authority’s Coastal Area Management Act Permit, and no public hearing is required, said division spokeswoman Michelle Walker. Matthews said nearby residents were given until July 29 to respond in writing to the CAMA proposal. N.C. Port Authority spokeswoman Shannon Moody said PCS is the port’s largest and longest-standing tenant, and the authority wanted to work with the company to accommodate its needs and the needs of the community for economic development and jobs. The plant would employ approximately 18 full-time workers once construction is complete.

BY KATIE SCARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
ast week, we featured an innovative way to use all those extra cucumbers your garden is producing — cucumber bread. “What about tomatoes?” one reader wondered. Indeed, if you’re growing tomatoes, you’re probably about ready for some inspiration in the kitchen. Sure, tomato sandwiches made with Wonder Bread are great, but there are plenty of other amazing things to do with all those flavorful homegrown tomatoes. One of my favorite simple ways to eat fresh tomatoes is to pair tomato slices with slices of the best fresh mozzarella you can find (or afford). Add just a bit of olive oil and some kosher salt and you have a divine appetizer. Actually, I could eat this for lunch or dinner, accompanied with a bit of crusty bread, and be quite happy. My favorite new recipe is for panzanella. Panzanella is a salad of bread and tomatoes that originated in Italy. It sounds a little strange, I know, but it’s heavenly, as it turns out. There are many variations on panzanella, I’ve discovered. Some feature cucumbers; some don’t. Some use kalamata olives; others prefer capers. I mashed up two different recipes and loved the results. I wouldn’t worry too much about exact quantities of ingredients. If you have more of one thing, then use it.

Get your ingredients for salsa at the Farmers Market BY SUE DAVIS For the Salisbury Post SALISBURY — Early Saturday mornings spent at the Salisbury Farmers Market offer chances to think about what to create in your kitchen and to visit with friends. When I strolled through the market last week, I saw all of the ingredients needed for a fresh red and green salsa. My salsa recipe uses tomatillos, which I found at Correll Farm. While grazing in their booth, I found several varieties of eggplant, October Beans and a watermelon just the right size for my refrigerator. Visiting as well as shopping is part of any Farmers Market visit, so it’s important to walk by every booth to see what is available and say good morning. I remembered last week that Eagle Farm had a great selection of hot peppers in all heat ranges. Not only did I find the right peppers for salsa, I found squash and okra just picked. Onions and tomatoes round out my salsa needs. The vendors at the market offer a large number of tomato varieties, so I had to ask for some help to get varieties best suited for salsa. Country Gardens has a selection of white, red and yellow onions. The idea of a watermelonpeach salsa came to me as I admired the wide variety of watermelons and peaches available at our market. Both seem to be in abundance this year. Blackberries are also available at the market for the next week or two, so I thought

they would make an interesting addition to this sweet condiment. Along with both bicolor and white corn, Bok Choy, Swiss Chard, Napa Cabbage and long beans are available at the market this week. Each one can be quickly stirfried or steamed with a bit of garlic, pepper or onion or chopped and added to a salad. If you are not sure how to prepare a vegetable, always ask the vendor for ideas. Besides the colorful displays of fruits and vegetables at the market this week, you can find unusual crafts including yard art made from recycled wood, tote bags made from recycled bird seed bags, goat milk soaps, hats and aprons. Have you stopped to look at the felted creations Fran Decker has created, including the mouse thumb pin cushion? Even when the morning is hot, the sweet and savory breads, cookies and desserts available are hard to pass up. Fresh bread topped with pimento cheese or one of the jams or prepared salsas is a great after-market snack. Picking up a bouquet of fresh flowers or a small group of zinnias is the your just reward for the weekly trip to the Salisbury Market. The Salisbury Farmers Market is located at the corner of Main and Bank streets and is open Wednesday from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Saturday from 7a.m. until noon. Check out information from the vendors on the market webpage www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com.
Market at the Mill in China Grove in full summer swing B Y M ARTHA M INCEY For The Salisbury Post
CHINA GROVE — A wide variety of local produce is now available, including corn, potatoes, green beans, yellow squash, tomatoes, and peppers. Local growers included Karriker, Katie’s Vegetables, Miller & Sons, and Walters. Walters offers vegetables grown with no pesticides and no fertilizers. Last Friday, Renn Bee Farm of Salisbury had local honey available in three different size containers for sale. South Carolina peaches and watermelons were available from various vendors. Fresh eggs and canned vegetables were also available. Allan Goodman of Goodman Farm Supply in China Grove has a wooden container display garden with several vegetables growing in an approximately 3-foot-by3-foot planter. Planter also included an overhead trellis for growing vine vegetables such as green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. This is a great idea for a home garden with very limited space for a variety of vegetables. The Market at the Mill is open each Friday from 4-7 p.m. at 308 N. Main St. China Grove.

Skip the kit, grab the eraser Over the years, I’ve come to the conclusion that for every situation there’s an expensive way to solve it and there’s a cheap way. Discovering the cheaper alternative is what readers of this column do so well. And when they share their MARY discoveries HUNT with all of us, it’s a good day! Headlight magic.

Fresh Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salad
TOMATOES FROM 8A
Avocado, Tomato and Mango Salsa
— from allrecipes.com
1 mango, peeled, seeded and diced 1 avocado, peeled, pitted, and diced 4 medium tomatoes, diced 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1 ⁄2 C. chopped fresh cilantro 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon salt 2 Tbs. fresh lime juice 1 ⁄ 4 C. chopped red onion 3 Tbs. olive oil
In a medium bowl, combine the mango, avocado, tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro, and garlic. Stir in the salt, lime juice, red onion, and olive oil. To blend the flavors, refrigerate for about 30 minutes before serving. • • • Gazpacho is a cold tomato-based raw vegetable soup with origins in Spain, and it’s wonderfully refreshing on hot summer days. This recipe comes from Judy Newman, who advises that it may be served chunky “as is” or pulsed in a food processor or blender. Judy says she usually makes it a day ahead so that the flavors “have an opportunity to get acquainted.” She also advises that she follows these quantities very loosely — so any given batch is going to taste somewhat different.
Gazpacho 6 large tomatoes (drop into boiling water for 30 seconds; slip skins off)
1 chopped cucumber ½ C. chopped green pepper (or yellow or orange pepper) ½ C. chopped celery ½ C. chopped red onion 2 cloves minced garlic (I put mine through a garlic press, so you don’t get chunks) 6 ounces chicken broth (canned or bullion) 1 14-oz can of tomato or V-8 juice (I like tomato better) 2 Tbs. lemon juice 1 Tbs. olive oil 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 1 ⁄ 4 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. Tabasco
Cook the penne until al dente. Meanwhile, chop the spinach and basil and cut the tomatoes in half Put the penne in a serving bowl and pour the dressing over it. Stir to combine. Fold in the chopped spinach, tomato halves and feta cheese. Stir until all of the ingredients are coated with more dressing. Add more dressing if needed to moisten the salad. Spinkle the basil over the top of the salad. Can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Serves 6 as a main course.

• • • If you’ve got tons of cherry tomatoes, it might be time to make some pasta salad. This recipe for Penne and Tomato Salad, adapted from Ann Byrn’s “The Dinner Doctor,” is simple and good. I like to add Kalamata olives, which gives it a nice salty zip. Until I tried this recipe, I had never used chopped spinach in a pasta salad. It’s a great concept. I prefer to make my own dressing for this, using olive oil and vinegar or lemon with whatever spices strike my fancy.
Penne and Tomato Salad 1 pound penne 1 bag (6 ounces) spinach 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes 1 ⁄ 2 bottle balsamic vinaigrette, or more, if needed 1 package (four ounces) feta cheese (can use tomato and basil feta cheese) 1 ⁄2 C. Kalamata olives (more or less to taste) 1 ⁄ 2 C. chopped basil
If you like your pasta a little milder (no strong feta or Kalamata taste), try this easy recipe, which also comes from Judy Newman. It can be served hot or cold.
Fresh Tomato and Basil Pasta About 1 Tbs. plus 1 ⁄ 4 tsp. salt, divided 1 pound penne pasta 11⁄ 2 pounds tomatoes, halved, seeded, and chopped 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1⁄ 4 -in. pieces 4 garlic cloves, minced 1 C. basil leaves, slivered 1 ⁄ 2 C. extra-virgin olive oil
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 Tbs. salt and the penne; cook pasta until just tender to the bite. While pasta is cooking, combine tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, and basil in a large bowl. Add olive oil and remaining salt to tomato mixture. Drain pasta, add to tomato mixture, and toss. Add salt to taste. Serve hot or at room temperature. Serves 6.

GATES FOUNDATION INITIATIVE
Life-saving sanitation he goal of building a better toilet, like building a better mousetrap, sounds like the lead-in to a bad joke. But the world’s sanitation problems are a deadly serious issue, and a new initiative launched Tuesday by Bill and Melinda Gates has the laudable goal of improving sanitation in the world’s poorest regions. Their philanthropic foundation, which previously has designated hundreds of millions of dollars to improve education, will provide $42 million in grants to “reinvent the toilet.” In reality, the program envisions going far beyond improvements in the familiar fixture that’s been around since the 1800s. Because many of these third-world regions lack water and sewer infrastructure the project will promote better sanitation through toilet alternatives — safe and affordable latrines, systems that convert human waste into energy and fertilizer and waste-disposal devices that don’t require external water and sewer connections or electrical power. Worldwide, there’s a staggering need for an all-out campaign to eradicate substandard sanitary conditions. • 40 percent of the world’s population lacks access to safe, sanitary toilets. • About 1.5 million children die each year from illnesses related to food and water tainted with human waste. • Of the 60 million people added to the world’s towns and cities every year, most inhabit slums and shanty-towns with no sanitation facilities. This kind of outreach isn’t new. Many religious and non-profit organizations devote volunteers and money to water and sanitation projects in third-world villages. (One such organization, Wine into Water, founded by former bartender Doc Hendley, will be the subject of a presentation at this week’s youth environmental summit at the Center for the Environment at Catawba College.) But the Gates initiative will operate on a larger scale and draw in scientists and researchers from academia as well as the private sector. For instance, in one project already under way, a team at Stanford University plans to build a disposal system in Nairobi that could process two tons of waste daily by turning it into a type of charcoal used for carbon capture. Those kinds of breakthroughs are possible when Windows-type innovation meets the conventional water closet. In America, we take modern water and sewage systems for granted, being far-removed from the cholera and typhoid epidemics that once ravaged our cities. Yet a significant portion of the world lives without these basic facilities. The Gates initiative holds the promise of reducing illness and preventable deaths for millions of the world’s poorest people.

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. — Chinese proverb
Moderately confused
Letting Obama off the hook Why the high approval rating among blacks? Chicago Sun Times article, headlined “The disappearing black middle class,” reports on the disproportionate impact of these hard economic times on blacks. According to the data, taken from the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute, median net worth of white households fell from $134,280 in 2004 to $97,860 in 2009, while over the same period median black household net worth went from $13, 450 to $2,170. The national unemployment rate stands at 9.2 percent, while black unemployment is over 16 percent. There’s more, but you get the picture. The nation has been hit hard, but blacks much harder. Which raises a point of interest. STAR Approval rates for President PARKER Barack Obama among whites have dropped from 56 percent in early 2009 after he became president to 39 percent now — a drop of 17 points. But over this same period, Obama’s approval rating among blacks has dropped just 8 points from 93 percent to 85 percent. Many whites that initially had supported our president are now crediting him for our current misery. But blacks, despite suffering far more, are far less inclined to hang it on Obama. The message that massive government spending and borrowing does not grow the economy has not reached blacks. Rather, like our president, they seem to believe that the problem is we just haven’t yet dug the fiscal hole deep enough. Is this a racial thing? Whites will jump off the ship run by a black captain in a minute while blacks will ride it out until it hits the iceberg? No, I don’t think so. I think it’s both a liberal information thing and a moral thing. The liberal information thing is that blacks overwhelmingly get their information from liberal sources. Blacks watch CNN and MSNBC, not Fox. They listen to urban black radio. They are not going to hear from these
A
sources that if you look all over the world, nations with the most prosperous economies are the ones with the most limited governments. Liberal media refuses to get and pass the word that socialism has failed. The major organizations that supposedly represent black interests are all on the left, generously funded by big left wing white foundations and by our nation’s corporations. The former do it because they are liberals and the latter do it to show that they are not racist. And, like the Economic Policy Institute, that produced the data reported in the Sun Times article, they are supported by unions. But I think more corrosive is the moral thing. Almost a half-century since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, too many blacks still don’t want to be free and accept the responsibilities that go with it. Too many blacks still believe that the condition of their lives is caused by what someone else does or has. It is sad that this is true despite the fact that blacks go to church more often, pray more often, and say religion plays a central part in their life more than any other ethnic group in the nation. Why do a people so inclined to turn to God so readily violate the Tenth Commandment’s prohibition on covetousness and measure themselves in terms of what others have? And then use this sin to justify violating the Eighth Commandment and give government license to steal what others have in order to redistribute? Perhaps most fundamentally, how can a church going people buy into the materialism of socialism? There is a solution to the general travails of our nation and the particular travails of our black brothers and sisters. It is called every man and woman taking personal responsibility for their lives, turning to government for protection of life and property — not redemption, and living as free people according to traditional biblical mores. • • • Star Parker is an author and president of CURE, Center for Urban Renewal and Education (www.urbancure.org).

Two areas of concern: DA staffing, gasoline tax Due to the recession, North Carolina is facing a revenue shortfall, as is the case in most states. Drastic cuts have been proposed to balance the state’s operating budget as required by the N.C. Constitution. Many of the proposed cuts were necessary to balance the budget, though state government must understand you never make cuts to public safety or the judicial system. It’s imperative that citizens feel safe at all times. The district attorney’s office has always been overwhelmed with cases, even before the budget cuts. Cutting the district attorney’s staff will result in cases going to court with the defense more prepared than prosecutors due to an unmanageable case load, resulting in more criminals avoiding prison, making our streets much more dangerous. Prosecutors will be forced to offer more plea deals due to the shortage of assistant prosecutors qualified to try cases. Another failure in the budget is the legislature’s decision not to intervene on the gas tax hike that is recalculated automatically twice a year. We hear many reasons why the legislature could not agree on an alternative to raising the gas tax. But given that we are now paying 35 cents in taxes on every gallon, any excuse is hogwash, especially since state-generated transportation funds will total $2.7 billion this year, 60 percent from the gas tax alone. Our gas tax is among the highest in the Southeast and 13th highest in the nation. This puts us at a great disadvantage with bordering states in an effort to lure much needed revenues. I personally know many of our state representatives and hold them in high regard. I also know mistakes in judgment will happen at times. That is understandable, but not fixing a problem of this magnitude immediately is unacceptable. Perhaps our legislators will re-visit

this issue before the next budget session. Citizens are counting on you. — Jeff Gerber Unionville
Just a cotton-pickin’ minute... This is in response to Donald Schumacher’s July 13 letter “A conspiracy theory sprouts.” Did you ever see the movie “Conspiracy Theory” with Mel Gibson? I wonder if that movie influenced your quasi-situational story about pea-pickers. I don’t have a problem with immigrant and occupational pea-pickers. What I have a problem with is pickers of a different sort in Salisbury. My problem is that certain people in Salisbury have “cotton-pickin’ ” minds. Where does that term come from? As a former New Jersey resident who has been here for more than 15 years, I have read about Southern history. I know too many people, both black and white, who have nothing important on their minds. At least President Obama (our first “black and white” president) is intelligent and is trying to straighten out our bogus economic system. In conclusion, why don’t all you rich and/or unemployed people get together and plant some crops, pray for rain, harvest your crops, not eat so much, sweat a lot, stop complaining and be happy you’re alive? — Michael Kondek Salisbury
ALEIGH — If politicians want to understand why the public doesn’t hold them in higher esteem, they should probably consider just how often they miss they basic points of the matters before them. It’s those larger, missed points that become SCOTT the fodder MOONEYHAM for water cooler talk and lunchtime chats. A few recent examples have made the news: • The state Board of Transportation decided to name a new 4.6-mile stretch of highway in Rocky Mount for former board member Thomas A. Betts Jr. This would be the same Thomas Betts who resigned from the board in 2008 because of questionable fund-raising tactics on behalf of then candidate-for-governor Beverly Perdue. The Rocky Mount City Council asked for the designation for Betts’ “selfless service” to the region. In other words, he helped steer a lot of road projects to area. The Perdue campaign again has enlisted Betts’ fund-raising abilities, with the campaign saying that the potential conflict of interest in 2008 no longer exists because Betts is no longer on the board. Apparently neither Perdue, local officials nor the current transportation board see much of a problem with his past actions. Missed by Rocky Mount officials and transportation board members: Why should anyone who is still alive have anything named in their honor? Betts may go on to lead an exemplary life, but it would only take a few minutes to put together a long list of politicians and political appointees who, once held in high regard, succumbed to scandal. Surely some dead folks from Rocky Mount, their reputations safe from being sullied, are more deserving. • Speaking of fundraising, former Charlotte mayor and likely Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory is going at it. McCrory sent out a missive to potential supporters last week urging their use of social media to pressure legislators to override Perdue’s veto of legislation that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls. Then McCrory asks for donations to “help spread my message across North Carolina.” I suppose that message would be “Elect me governor.” After all, legislators staked out themselves on the photo ID bill a while ago. It’s seen as a partisan issue. It’s extremely unlikely that any legislator is changing his or her position. Maybe McCrory missed that fact. Or, maybe his campaign consultants haven't heard that cynical attempts by unannounced political candidates to tie themselves to hot-button issues have mostly been figured out by the public. • House Speaker Thom Tillis is saying that he may layoff some of his staff. This is Tillis’ latest response after he pledged to keep staff costs lower than his predecessor, then proceeded to hire a larger staff and give seven staffers raises while legislators considered a budget laying off other state workers. Tillis seems to have missed that the issue is no longer about the size of his staff. It’s about his credibility. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes columns about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Last shuttle leaves space station, due back Thursday CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The last space shuttle is headed home. Atlantis left the International Space Station on Tuesday and slipped away after a partial lap around the station. Ten pairs of eyes pressed against the windows, four in the shuttle and six in the station. All that remains of NASA’s final shuttle voyage is the touchdown, targeted for the pre-dawn hours of Thursday back home in Florida. Its return ends the 30-year run of a vessel that kept U.S. astronauts flying to and from orbit longer than any other rocketship “Get her home safely and enjoy the last couple days in space shuttle Atlantis,” the station’s Mission Control told commander Christopher Ferguson and his crew. Replied Ferguson: “It’s been an incredible ride.” As a final salute, the space station rotated to provide never-before-seen views of the complex. Atlantis flew halfway around the outpost, cameras whirring aboard both craft to record the historic event. Flight controllers savored the dual TV images. “It must look pretty spectacular,” Ferguson said. And it did: Atlantis sailing serenely against the black void of space, its payload bay wide open, and the space station, its huge solar wings glowing golden in the sunlight. As the lead team of flight controllers signed off for the very last time, the voice emanating from the shuttle’s Mission Control cracked with emotion. Another team would take over late Tuesday for landing. To ensure their safe return, the crew conducted one final survey of the shuttle, using the robotic arm and a lasertipped extension. Experts scrutinized the images for signs of micrometeorite damage. Atlantis spent 81⁄2 days at the space station and left behind a year’s worth of sup-
plies, insurance in the event commercial providers encounter delays in launching their own cargo ships. It was the 37th shuttle mission, over more than 12 years, dedicated to building and maintaining the space station — the largest structure ever to orbit the planet. In keeping with tradition, Atlantis’ departure was marked by the ringing of the naval ship’s bell aboard the space station. The undocking occurred nearly 250 miles above the Pacific. “Atlantis departing the International Space Station for the last time,” space station astronaut Ronald Garan Jr. announced, ringing the bell three times. “We’ll miss you guys. Godspeed.” Ferguson thanked the six station residents for their hospitality, then added: “We’ll never forget the role the space shuttle played in its creation. Like a proud parent, we anticipate great things to follow ... Farewell, ISS. Make us proud.” All told, shuttles spent 276 days — or nearly 40 weeks — docked to the station. It’s now a sprawling complex with multiple science labs — 13 rooms in all and more than 900,000 pounds of mass, most of that delivered by shuttles. “So large that some astronauts have even momentarily gotten lost in it — you can take it from me,” said Mission Control communicator Daniel Tani, a former station resident. “Of course, the ISS wouldn’t be here without the space shuttle so ... we wanted to say thank you and farewell to the magnificent machines that delivered, assembled and staffed our world-class laboratory in space.” NASA and its international partners mean to keep it running until at least 2020. With the retirement of the shuttle fleet, the space station now must rely solely on other countries for restocking, at least until the first privately funded rocket blasts off with a load. That could come by year’s end.
rowing authority by Aug. 2, the government will not be able to pay all its bills, and default could result with severe consequences for the economy. The “Gang of Six” briefed other senators on the group’s plan after a seemingly quixotic quest that took months, drew disdain at times from the leaders of both parties and appeared near failure more than once. It calls for deficit cuts of slightly less than $4 trillion over a decade and includes steps to slow the growth of Social Security payments, cut at least $500 billion from Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs and wring
billions in savings from programs across the face of government. It envisions tax changes that would reduce existing breaks for a number of popular items while reducing the top income bracket from the current 35 percent to 29 percent or less. The tax overhaul “must be estimated to provide $1 trillion in additional revenue to meet plan targets,” according to a summary that circulated in the Capitol. The group of six includes three Democrats, Sens. Kent Conrad of North Dakota, Mark Warner of Virginia and Dick Durbin of Illinois, a member of the leadership. The three Republicans, all conservatives, are Sens. Mike Crapo of Idaho, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, who has a particularly close relationship with Boehner dating to their days together in the House. In recommending higher government revenues, Republicans in the group challenged party orthodoxy that has held sway for two decades, ever since President George H.W. Bush memorably broke his “no new taxes” pledge to make a deficit reduction deal with congressional Democrats. In the years since, refusal to raise taxes has become a virtually inviolable article of faith among Republicans, and used by them and their allies in countless political campaigns against Democrats. Recently, Republicans who voted to repeal a tax subsidy for ethanol production drew opposition from Grover Norquist, a prominent antitax activists who has wielded significant influence inside the party. Even so, in the hours after the Gang of Six briefed other lawmakers on their plan, at least one member of the Republican Senate leadership, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, signed on as a supporter. So, too, did Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas. “We have an opportunity
to act like statesmen and avoid a debacle on Aug. 2, and it seems to me that all of our efforts should be focused on that,” added Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss. He and others said the plan was well-received at a weekly closed-door meeting of GOP senators. Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., asked about possible objections from tea party activists, said the measure “checks every box” for advocates of smaller government, including cuts in government spending and an overhaul of the tax code to eliminate special breaks. Obama stopped well short of endorsing the plan, saying administration officials were analyzing it and not all details were known. But he said it included “a revenue component” along with savings in Medicare and Social Security, making it the sort of balanced approach he has long advocated. He also noted that the Senate’s two top leaders have been cooperating on a measure that would allow him to raise the debt limit without a prior vote of Congress while also setting up a special committee to recommend cuts from federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare. “That continues to be a necessary approach to put forward. In the event that we don’t get an agreement, at minimum, we’ve got to raise the debt ceiling,” he said. Unlike Obama, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. was harshly critical, calling McConnell’s approach “smoke and mirrors.” “If Republicans do not show the political will to stop the spending, and use the debt limit to make our case, the party is gone,” he was quoted as saying on National Review Online. The Gang of Six envisioned a two-stage process in which $500 billion in savings would be enacted swiftly, with the more complicated changes in programs like Medicare and Medicaid to follow.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and a startling number of Republican senators lauded a bipartisan deficit-reduction plan Tuesday that includes $1 trillion in higher taxes, raising hopes of a last-minute compromise to repair the nation’s finances while averting a government default. Wall Street saluted as well. Obama said he hoped congressional leaders would “start talking turkey” as soon as today along the lines of the Senate “Gang of Six” proposal, which quickly overshadowed a no-tax-increase alternative that conservatives spent Tuesday pushing toward an evening vote in the House. At the White House, the president warned that financial markets could soon begin to post worrisome losses unless gridlock is broken and the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit raised. But stocks soared for the day, propelled by the deficit plan’s emergence and Obama’s decision to seize on it as well as by strong earnings reports. The Dow Jones industrials rose 202 points, the biggest oneday leap this year. In the House, the focus was on spending cuts. “Our bloated and obese federal budget needs a healthy and balanced diet, one that trims the fat of overspending and grows the muscle of our nation’s economy,” said Rep. Reid Ribble of Wisconsin, one of the 87 firstterm House Republicans determined to reduce the size of government. Democrats said the measure, with its combination of cuts and spending limits, would inflict damage on millions who rely on Social Security, Medicare and other programs. “The Republicans are trying to repeal the second half of the 20th century,” said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Michigan. Obama has threatened to veto the bill, which would raise the debt limit in exchange for what supporters said was an estimated $6 tril-

Murdoch rejects blame for hacking scandal at hearing LONDON (AP) — Summoned by lawmakers to answer for a phone hacking and bribery scandal at one of his tabloids, Rupert Murdoch said he was humbled and ashamed Tuesday but accepted no responsibility for wrongdoing as a widening investigation threatened to ensnare Britain’s prime minister. In a three-hour grilling, the 80-year-old media tycoon insisted he was at fault only for trusting the wrong people at the now-defunct News of the World, and noted that the paper made up a tiny portion of his vast media empire. The scandal has rocked Murdoch’s News Corp. and embroiled Britain’s top police, many MURDOCH journalists and politicians. Prime Minister David Cameron cut short his Africa trip to appear before a special parliamentary question session on Wednesday. Murdoch appeared confused and flustered in the beginning of Tuesday’s parliamentary hearing, turning frequently to his son James for answers. But he soon regained his trademark cool. He said he had known nothing of allegations that staff at the News of the World tabloid hacked into cell phones and bribed police to get information on celebrities, politicians and crime victims, and that he never would have approved such “horrible invasions� of privacy. In the face of lawmakers’ suggestions that his organization encouraged such behavior, he was unflappable — even after a protester rushed at him in the middle of the hearing. He stayed seated when the man tried to throw a foam pie at him. A News Corp. attorney partially blocked the attack and Murdoch’s 42-year-old wife slapped the prankster. After the protester was arrested, the billionaire simply shed his splattered suit jacket and continued answering questions. The scandal has captivated audiences from America to Murdoch’s native Australia, and there’s more to come — only a fraction of the nearly 4,000 people whose information was hacked are known and the police investigation appears to be widening. Murdoch has already shut the News of the World, given up on buying a major British satellite television company and accepted the resignations of two top executives because of the scandal. He said he had no plans to resign but expressed contrition on behalf of News Corp.’s British newspaper division, News International. “This is the most humble day of my career,� said Murdoch, a man once so politically powerful in Britain that former Prime Minister Tony Blair flew halfway around the world to secure his support as he launched the Labour Party’s bid for power in 1995. The scandal began as a blip in 2005, when the News of the World published a story about Prince William suffering a knee injury. Royal officials became suspicious about the closely held data and alerted police. An inquiry led to one of the paper’s reporters and a private investigator being jailed for intercepting communications. The Guardian newspaper then found out that Murdoch’s papers had paid out more than $1.6 million to settle lawsuits involving allegations of eavesdropping on phone messages. The scandal became a crisis for News International this month with the revelation that the News of the World had hacked into the phone of a 13year-old murder victim, Milly Dowler, in hopes of getting material for news stories. Occasionally punctuating remarks by slapping his hands down on the desk, Murdoch said he was “shocked, appalled and ashamed� at the hacking of Dowler’s phone but he rejected that criminality had been endemic at the tabloid. He also said he had seen no evidence that victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack were hacked — an allegation the FBI is looking into. Murdoch said he had not been informed that his company had paid out big sums — 700,000 pounds ($1.1 million) in one case — to settle lawsuits by phone hacking victims. Murdoch noted that News of the World represented less than 1 percent of his global media empire, which also includes the Fox TV network, 20th Century Fox film studio, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and three major British newspapers. He said he spoke to the News of the World’s editor only around once a month. Blame, he said, rested with “the people I trusted ... and then, maybe, the people they trusted.� News International CEO Rebekah Brooks and Wall Street Journal publisher Les Hinton, former executive chairman of News International, have resigned, though Murdoch said he did not blame either of them for the scandal. Brooks and Cameron’s former communications chief, Andy Coulson — a former editor at News of the World — are among several people who have been arrested in the scandal, though no one has been charged with a crime. James Murdoch, 38, apologized for the scandal, telling British lawmakers that “these actions do not live up to the standards our company aspires to.� The younger Murdoch said the company acted as swiftly and transparently as possible. Rupert Murdoch acknowledged, however, that he did not investigate after Brooks, former editor of the News of the World, told parliament years ago that the paper had paid police officers for information.

Gottfried making his mark at State
More Ripkens may be on the way
BY AARON BEARD BY DAVID GINSBURG Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Cal Ripken Jr. was never pushed to play baseball by his father. The Iron Man adopted that same philosophy when bringing up his own son. Turns out that Ryan Ripken, like his dad, grew to love baseball. And, just like his father, he’s pretty darn good at the game. Ryan Ripken has been selected to play in the 2011 Under Armour All-America Baseball Game, which will be held next month at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Over the first three years of
the game, 88 of the 103 draft-eligible players who competed in the game were selected in the Major League Baseball amateur draft — including 18 first round picks. Ryan batted .353 as a junior at Gilman High School and is already fielding scholarship offers from several college baseball coaches. Sure, his father is proud. But if Ryan chose to drop baseball for basketball, or opted to abandon sports completely, his dad wouldn’t mind one bit if the run of

Montoya changes chief Associated Press
CONCORD — Juan Pablo Montoya will have a new crew chief when he returns next week to Indianapolis Motor Speedway because his team replaced Brian Pattie on Tuesday. Jim Pohlman will immediately take over as crew chief on an interim basis, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing announced. Pohlman has been with the organization since 2006 in various jobs. “We are pleased to be able to have someone of Jim’s caliber to be able to place into this role,” team owner Chip Ganassi said in a statement. “Jim has been with us a number of years and I have confidence in his abilities to move the team forward.” Montoya, who is in a contract year with Ganassi, is 17th in the Sprint Cup standings, and 59 points out of 10th. The timing comes at a time when the schedule suits Montoya. The Cup Series is off this weekend, but returns next week to Indianapolis, where Montoya dominated the last two years. He should have won both races, but was flagged for speeding on pit road in 2009 and crashed out of last year’s race after a four-tire stop mired him in traffic. The series also heads next month to Watkins Glen, where Montoya is the defending race winner. But Montoya has had two rough weeks — he wasn’t sure where he was supposed to line up during a late restart at Kentucky, and he ran out of gas on the final lap of Sunday’s race at New Hampshire. Pattie had been Montoya’s crew chief since the 12th race of the 2008 season. He guided Montoya to only one win and one appearance in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, but their work together had been much better than their statistics show. “I’m going to help Jim get up to speed because the next three races are all races we can win,” said Pattie, who was informed by Ganassi over the phone Tuesday. Pattie, who was in the final year of his contract, said he’s not been released. The crew chief change comes a day after Richard Petty Motorsports snapped up Greg Erwin to crew chief AJ Allmendinger.

Hargrave about hits and his mitts
REENSBORO — There were 32 players who showed up last week to play for Joe Pinyan’s West team and 31 of them came to the first practice wondering how exactly the wishbone offense worked. The one player who could show them was John Knox, who happened to be Pinyan’s quarterback at Salisbury. One problem solved. “John’s like having an additional coach,” Pinyan said. “He knows everything that’s going on. He communicates with the kids.” RONNIE OK, but will the other 31 GALLAGHER West players accept playing this different offense? “One thing that really sold them is that they know we won a state championship,” Pinyan smiled.

GREENSBORO — Everyone knows about Javon Hargraves’s big hits. He was the most dominating defensive player in the Yadkin Valley Conference. But it may be his mitts that eventually help the West team the most in tonight’s East-West All-Star football game at Grimsley’s Jamieson Stadium. Head coach Joe Pinyan is giving the 6foot-2, 260-pound defensive lineman a chance to be a tight end. In practice, West quarterback John Knox has been slinging it Hargrave’s way. “He caught it up against his pads,” chuckled Pinyan. “I said, ‘You gotta learn to catch it with your hands.’ ” Which brought a look of disdain from Hargrave. “As long as you catch the ball, it doesn’t matter,” he said with a roll of his eyes. Pinyan has no concerns about Hargrave’s defensive abilities. “He’s had a great week. He’s been a bear to block,” Pinyan said. jon c. lakey/sALisBUrY post

Rowan faces Wayne BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — This year’s state tournament will include a who’s-who of North Carolina American Legion baseball royalty. The final qualifier was Area II champion Wilmington Post 10, an eight-time state champion. Seven of the eight teams in the field already are 20-game winners. Area III runner-up Rowan County is a seven-time state champion, while Area IV champion Cherryville owns six state titles. Wayne County (the Goldsboro area) hasn’t won a state title, but it’s been the dominant Area I team the past decade. This is Wayne’s sixth appearance in the event since the state tournament switched to a single-site format in 2000. Rowan (23-8) opens the tournament against Wayne County (25-5) at 10 a.m. on Friday morning, playing on Puck O’Neal Field at Morehead City’s Big Rock Stadium. Area I runner-up Cary (23-9) is back in the state event for the second straight year, while Area IV runnerup Hickory (20-11) is in its first state tournament since 2002. High Point (21-8) played in the state tournament as recently as 2006, although it did so as the host team, not as a standard qualifier. This time Post 87 comes in with a whole lot of momentum, after surviving a grueling series of must-win playoff games before sweeping Rowan for the Area III title. Host Morehead City (15-6) won’t be a pushover. This is Morehead City’s fourth appearance in a state
tournament, and it reached this year’s Area II semis before faltering. Other games on the first day include High Point playing Cary at about 1 p.m., Hickory taking on Wilmington (29-6) at 4:30 p.m. and Cherryville (26-7) opposing Morehead City at 7:30 p.m. Rowan has never won a state tournament that it entered as a runnerup team. Rowan won the state in 2002 (in Salisbury) and 2009 (in Greenville) when it came in as Area III champion. Rowan has plenty of history with Wayne County, including a pair of victories against Wayne in the 2002 state event staged at Newman Park. That was arguably Rowan’s greatest team (43-2) and included three eventual pros — Bobby Parnell, Cal Hayes Jr. and Spencer Steedley. Hayes had three hits and two RBIs and Steedley struck out 11 in 7 1⁄3 shutout innings in a 7-1 win against Wayne in the winners bracket final. After Wayne worked its way back to play in the championship game, Rowan took a 7-5 thriller — its 25th consecutive victory — to wrap up the state title. Hayes, Aaron Rimer and Jimbo Davis had two hits each, and Rimer belted a huge home run to back the pitching of Jacob Cooper, Philip Goodman and Julian Sides. In 2007, Wayne gave a drained Rowan team one of its worst beatings ever — 19-1 in seven innings in the state tournament in Garner. But in 2008 in Gastonia, Rowan ripped Wayne 9-1 behind Tanner Brown’s pitching and homers by the Holmes brothers, Trey and Noah. Tournament passes will be $25. Daily passes are $10.
Shuping, Nianouris shine in golf events From staff reports
Salisbury’s Logan Shuping shot 84 in qualifying for the North Carolina 13U Boys Championship held in Asheboro, then won the First Flight in match play.

clemson coach dabo swinney talks with the media at his annual media golf outing tuesday. Caldwell wondered if he’d see players sulking over last year’s problems. “Their attitude was just the opposite,” Caldwell said. “They were dying to get back out there.” Morris’ system had something to do with that. He spent spring ball preaching for more snaps, faster tempo and crisper decision making. Starting quarterback Tajh Boyd said the offense is like a coiled snake, ready to pounce and hold on once it engages. Running back Andre Ellington, who led the team witih 10 touchdowns despite a foot injury that cost him four games, is expected to be back healthy. Swinney also delivered one of Clemson’s best recruiting classes, one that was among the country’s top 10 on several analysts’ websites. Tailaback Mike Bellamy
should get on the field quickly, while linebacker standouts Tony Steward and Stephone Anthony will challenge for playing time. “Hopefully, we can get some solid play out of the young guys,” Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said. “They’re on scholarship, too, so we’re going to put them out there and let them go.” And that’s what concerns Swinney the most entering the fall. He expects up to 30 first-year players, between incoming freshmen and redshirts from last year, to see action because of Clemson’s lack of depth. Swinney said his young players have potential for greatness. “I hope I’ll be here to develop them all the way through,” Swinney said.
GALLAGHER FroM 1B ing each other as much as patting each other on the back. Knox was voted captain of the West squad by his teammates. “The kids love him. The coaches love him,” Pinyan said. Knox also gets to play with two other state champs in offensive lineman Davon Quarles and speedster Trey Mashore of West Rowan. They’ve won three state titles in a row. “They know how to win,” Pinyan said. “That’s what they do — win.” This past year, Pinyan and West’s Scott Young were co-coaches of the year in the county. Now, their players are joining forces. “It’s kinda odd,” Quarles joked when asked what it was like being coached by Pinyan. “It’s good, though.” He slapped five with Pinyan. Knox has been barking signals and instructions throughout the week. “If they have any questions, they come to me and I tell them what to do,” Knox said. There may have been a time or two joN C.

“I was like, ‘Awright, now. I’ll let ‘em come.” Getting a little bossy, John? “I let Coach Pinyan do all the bossing,” he said. Quarles let out a hearty laugh. KNOX “It’s great to play with these people,” he said. “I was out of shape. But after the first day, it felt like I was back in the regular season at West Rowan.” Mashore, headed to Catawba, agreed. “I hadn’t had the pads on in a while,” he said. In his personal dream world, Mashore knows what kind of start he’d like. “Get the crowd going with a good kick return or punt return,” Mashore said. “If you get the crowd behind you and get the other team down, it’s a big advantage.” The demeanor of the West players is exactly what Pinyan has strived for. “When they’re on the practice field, their focus is on the football game,” Pinyan said. “But they are also fun to be around. We’re like a close-knit family. The coaches are sitting back enjoying it.” Pinyan hopes the enjoyment continues for Quarles, Mashore and Knox
EAST-WEST FroM 1B Some wondered how a 1A star would do against players from a bigger school. It has been no problem for the man called, “Hollywood Hargrave.” “It’s a few more challenges but it’s still the same,” Hargrave said. • IMPRESSIVE: West Rowan’s Davon Quarles isn’t the biggest lineman on the team but he has made the biggest impression on offensive line coach Todd Hagler. “He’s a very talented young man,” Hagler said. “He’s obviously undersized. I was skeptical when I saw his size (5-10, 235). I watched him on film and decided he could play. If he was 6-2, 6-3, I think he’d be playing pretty big-time college football.” HAGLER Quarles and the linemen have had the toughest job learning Pinyan’s wishbone offense. There are 12 run schemes and four different protections. “None of these guys knew the language four days ago,” Hagler said. Quarles said he enjoyed his time with Hagler, comparing him to West’s offensive line coach Joe Nixon. “He’s got a little swagger like Coach Nixon,” Quarles grinned. • HUMBLED: Hagler, an A.L. Brown assistant wondered how he was chosen to be a coach. “I said I really didn’t know why I was picked,” Hagler said. “There are a lot of deserving head coaches out there.” He is the only West coach who is an assistant. “They’ve treated me as an equal,” he said. “I’m not an equal. I’m an assistant coach.

“We spend more time laughing than coaching,” Pinyan said of himself and assistants coaches Hagler, Adrian Snow, Mike Cheek, Chuck Henderson and Tom Harper.

They are all-stars.” And the most important all-star may be the man lining up under center — John Knox. “One of our coaches said, ‘He can’t come out of the game,’ ” Pinyan laughed.

Brown’s burly linebacker Andrew Leslie, he was impressed with the excitement in Leslie’s voice. Hagler said it wasn’t fake. “If we had to play this game in a parking lot with leather helmets, Andrew would be there and be excited about playing,” Hagler said. “He truly loves this game.” Leslie said he was downLESLIE cast after A.L.

Rays rally thanks to errors
York, all while still very congested. Angel Pagan and Daniel Murphy hit two-run doubles, and Dillon Gee (9-3) pitched seven sharp innings in the Mets’ second win in five games. Lance Berkman hit a mammoth homer and starter Kyle Lohse (8-7) had an RBI single for St. Louis, which opened a stretch of 20 consecutive games with its third loss in four games since the All-Star break. Padres 4, Marlins 0 MIAMI — Tim Stauffer pitched six innings and four relievers completed a six-hitter for San Diego. Ryan Ludwick and Orlando Hudson hit consecutive two-out RBI doubles in the first inning for the Padres, and that was all they needed. Cameron Maybin had two hits, an RBI and a run scored against his former team. Stauffer (6-6) won for the fourth time in his past five starts and lowered his ERA to 2.83. He allowed four hits and walked two. The Marlins, playing in their third city in as many days, looked jet-lagged as they went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position. Anibal Sanchez (6-3) got the loss. Heath Bell entered with two on and two outs in the ninth and retired John Buck for his 27th save in 29 chances.
GOTTFRIED FROM 1B guys. They’re not. But what’s going to happen is you’re going to get in a game for the first time and it’s those periods where the rubber meets the road — and how are we going to respond? We don’t know yet. And these guys haven’t been there, to be quite frank, where they can turn that into a win and turn that into success.” Few of the Wolfpack’s frustrated fans are going to question Gottfried’s moves right now. As he said, “The bottom line in winning fans over is winning games,” and N.C. State hasn’t done much of that in the Atlantic Coast Conference lately. Lowe, the point guard on the “Cardiac Pack” team that won the 1983 NCAA championship, was a beloved figure at the school who could never build any sustained on-court success. He went 25-55 in ACC regular-season play, never finished higher than ninth in the league and went a combined 3-16 against nearby rivals Duke and North Carolina before resigning after five seasons. Gottfried and his staff managed to avoid mass defections after taking over — freshman point guard Ryan Harrow transferred to Kentucky — and has spent the three months since trying to forge relationships with those players even though they were limited to only a handful of workouts due to NCAA rules. In the case of rising junior Richard Howell, Gottfried pushed the 6-foot-8 forward to get in better shape. He said Howell weighed 271 pounds in the spring, but is now down to around 250 and carrying himself with more confidence. “Everybody was a little bit different,” said Gottfried, who had worked as a college basketball analyst for ESPN since leaving Alabama in 2009. “Guys want to

Some of that is hard because I’ve watched them on television, but until you coach somebody, you don’t really know their game sometimes. ... Guys want to know how they’re going to fit in. They want to believe we can win, so that was our job with these guys.” With the learning process ongoing, Gottfried said it’s hard to predict exactly how his first team will stack up with the rest of the ACC. While he talked about his players embracing the early changes and the program having some early momentum, he also cautioned Wolfpack fans not to expect too much, too fast. “I’ve got no magic dust that we can just sprinkle over our guys,” he said. “There are habits that have to be built. We’re trying to get those built right now, and I think we’re making steps.”
Leach returns to Lubbock for signing he was fired. LSU PUT ON PROBATION BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU committed major violations while recruiting a junior college football player, but won’t be slapped with any postseason bans or future scholarship reductions, the NCAA ruled Tuesday. The governing body decided to place the school on probation for a year and cited a former assistant coach for unethical conduct. The investigation found that ex-assistant coach D.J. McCarthy improperly arranged for transportation and housing for former defensive lineman Akiem Hicks in 2009, then later tried to cover up those actions. The NCAA accepted LSU’s self-imposed reduction of two scholarships during the 2010-11 academic year, as well as a 10 percent reduction in official visits and reductions in recruiting calls. LSU already had begun reducing official visits during 2010-11, but the NCAA expanded the punishment to include 2011-12. McCarthy resigned in December 2009. Hicks never played for the Tigers before he left LSU. SO. MISS TO PLAY BYU HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Southern Miss and BYU have agreed to play a homeand-home football series beginning in 2014.
BYU, which recently became an independent football program after leaving the Mountain West Conference, will host the Golden Eagles in 2014 in Provo, Utah. BYU will make the return trip to Southern Miss in 2015. The teams have played twice before, splitting two games in 1975 and 1976.

Associated Press The college football notebook... LUBBOCK, Texas — Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach said Tuesday that his book is more about his career than his firing because he started writing it before he was dismissed amid accusations he mistreated a player with a concussion. Leach said before a book signing in Lubbock that it would have been “irresponsible” not to detail his 2009 firing from Texas Tech. “Everyone wanted my point of view on what happened at Tech,” said Leach, who wrote “Swing Your Sword,” the title a nod to his penchant for pirate lore and its application to football. Most of the book chronicles Leach’s life, from his upbringing and why he chose coaching over practicing law to how his coaching style developed. He takes readers to each college at which he coached, arriving at Texas Tech on page 107. It’s another 70 pages, the book’s last two chapters, before Leach begins discussing his firing and criticizes the university. The university fired Leach amid claims that he mistreated receiver Adam James, son of Craig James, an ESPN analyst. Leach has long denied that, and said he believes an $800,000 bonus he was due was the reason
“I want him to be happy. If he derives the same sort of happiness that I did from baseball, he wants to pursue that and continue to play, then I’ll be happy for him,” Cal said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “But quite honestly, I want him to choose something that he’s happy in, and it doesn’t have to be baseball by any means.” Cal Ripken Sr. was a coach and manager in the Baltimore Orioles organization for nearly four decades. Cal Jr. spent his entire 21-year career with the Orioles, played in a record 2,632 straight games and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2007. Cal Jr. loved hanging around the Orioles clubhouse as a kid and enjoyed playing the game. Ryan grew up under similar circumstances until his father retired in 2001. Ryan stuck with baseball, but not because he was pressured by his notable dad. “I let him gravitate to whatever he wanted to do. That’s what my dad did to me,” Cal said. “Certainly the exposure that you get being in professional baseball is exciting and different for the kids. Some kids really like it and some don’t. Ryan was 8 years old when I retired. He enjoyed being around the clubhouse and then he just started pursuing it.” Ryan received plenty of instruction from Cal about the finer points of the game, but nothing could prepare him for what’s it’s like to have the last name of Ripken and playing baseball in Baltimore. “There are some positives associated with that, but in many ways there’s a burden that comes with the last name,” Cal said. “I think a lot of people sort of expect a lot out of him. When kids are learning to play the game we make mistakes. We all grow from our failures. Sometimes it doesn’t seem like Ryan is afforded some of those failures. It’s almost like he feels the pressure, he feels the scrutiny. And he’s done a remarkable job of handling it — because he has to.” At 6-foot-6, Ryan is now taller than his father. He’s a standout on the basketball court, better than most of his peers and far superior to his dad. “This is how he puts it: I can score on Dad when he’s trying really hard,” Ripken said. “It’s true. I don’t think I can keep up. He’s got too much range on his shot and he’s a good player.”

Associated Press The NL roundup... PITTSBURGH — James McDonald and three relievers combined on a six-hitter to help the Pittsburgh Pirates shut out the Cincinnati Reds for the second straight night, 1-0 on Tuesday. McDonald (6-4) won for the first time in five starts, pitching effectively into the seventh inning before getting bailed out of a bases-loaded jam by Joe Beimel and Chris Resop. Joel Hanrahan worked the ninth for his 28th save as the Pirates managed to make a rare appearance in first place more than a one-day cameo. They also improved to 7-1 this season against the defending NL Central champions. Mike Leake (8-5) yielded one run in six innings but couldn’t stop the Reds (47-50) from dropping three games below .500 for the first time this season. They trail Pittsburgh by five games. Mets 4, Cardinals 2 NEW YORK — Mets shortstop Jose Reyes made a huge impact in the field in his return from a hamstring injury, turning a difficult double play with the bases loaded in the eighth inning after making a diving stop that saved a run. Fellow All-Star Carlos Beltran also was back in the Mets’ lineup after missing three games with a high fever. He hit two doubles, singled, walked twice and scored a run for New
beat the Chicago White Sox 4-2 on Tuesday night. Twins 2, Indians 1 MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia hit a two-run single off closer Chris Perez in the ninth inning, sending the Minnesota Twins to a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. Perez (2-5) is in the middle of a solid year but the Twins got to him for a big win. He walked Joe Mauer and gave up a double to Michael Cuddyer. Jim Thome was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Valencia followed with a bloop single. Tigers 8, A’s 3 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Guillen each hit a two-run homer in Detroit’s six-run fifth inning, and the Tigers beat the Oakland Athletics 8-3 on Tuesday night. The Tigers trailed 3-1 before they grabbed control in the fifth against Guillermo Moscoso (3-5). After Magglio Ordonez brought Detroit to within a run with a sacrifice fly, Cabrera hit his 20th homer of the season, putting the Tigers ahead to stay.

Pirates win again on McDonald’s arm
ball glanced off Logan’s glove for an error that enabled the Rays to tie it at 2. Rodriguez raced home from third for the go-ahead run on Johnny Damon’s sacrifice fly to shallow center. Granderson charged in to make a sliding catch, scrambled to his feet but threw wildly to the plate. Orioles 6, Red Sox 2 BALTIMORE — Jeremy Guthrie allowed two runs in seven innings in an effort that belied his title as the losingest pitcher in the majors, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Boston 6-2 Tuesday night to end a seven-game losing streak against the Red Sox. Derrek Lee and Mark Reynolds hit successive homers in the eighth inning off Alfredo Aceves to turn a shaky one-run lead into a more comfortable cushion for the Orioles, who lost their previous seven games against Boston this season by a combined score of 61-32. Royals 4, White Sox 2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Danny Duffy returned from the minors to toss seven sharp innings, Matt Treanor delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the sixth and the light-hitting Kansas City Royals hung on to

Associated Press The AL roundup... ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeremy Hellickson pitched seven strong innings and Tampa Bay took advantage of sloppy New York defense to score two runs that gave the Rays a 3-2 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday night. Hellickson (9-7) retired 13 of 15 batters after giving up a two-run homer to Robinson Cano in the third inning, helping his team stay close until the sputtering Rays offense could finally break through against Bartolo Colon. Robinson Chirinos and Sean Rodriguez singled, chasing Colon (6-6) with one out in the seventh. That’s when things really awry for New York. Center fielder Curtis Granderson lost pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano’s fly ball in the Tropicana Field roof for a single off Boone Logan that loaded the bases. It looked as though the Yankees might escape the jam when the next batter — pinch-hitter Elliot Johnson — hit a tailormade, double-play grounder back to the mound, but the

Wednesday, July 20 Don’t give up too easily on your reasonable hopes and expectations, because, perhaps for the first time in your life, you should be able to get on a solid track to success. Keep the faith and play to win regardless of the circumstances. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Even if you believe your way of doing something is superior to that of others, don’t impose your ideas on them. Listen, because you may learn a better way of accomplishing the goal. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Unless you take some time to study what is involved, you could make a commitment that you’ll regret. There might be a lot more to the job than you thought. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Borrowing something of value might be a bad idea, but, if for some reason you must, be extremely careful about how the object is handled, so that it isn’t damaged or stolen. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you’re entertaining at your place and a guest brings along an uninvited friend who turns out to be a jerk, graciously ignore it. It could ruin the whole affair if it becomes an issue. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Should a dirty job or a nasty responsibility be foisted upon you, take it in stride as best as you can. It will only make the situation worse if you air it out in front of others. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Circumstances similar to ones that existed in the past when you made a bad mistake might be occurring again. Take your cues from what you learned and handle it differently this time. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — No one can live up to your expectations if your demands are unreasonable. Be honest about what you want, and don’t ask another to do for you what you can do for yourself. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Should a coworker who is usually easy to get along with be a little testy, be forgiving, not vindictive. Toss aside all thoughts of getting even. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There is a good chance that an excursion that wasn’t intended to be expensive could quickly get out of hand. Don’t be a tightwad, but don’t be foolishly extravagant either. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It isn’t enough to have good intentions, you must think things through before simply reacting. Otherwise you could unintentionally do something that others would find offensive. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Keeping proper records could become imperative when you are called on the carpet to explain what and why you did something. If you want to win your case, leave nothing to memory. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Mixing business with pleasure might turn out to be a bad mistake when a member of your group overdoses on food or wine. It won’t generate the impression you wanted to make.

Passing along the possible side effects to seaweed
Dear Reader: Because I drink my coffee black and don’t use heavy cream in cooking, I had no knowledge that some brands contain seaweed. Seaweed has been used with success by botanical, industrial and pharmaceutical companies. Traditional Chinese medicine even utilizes saltwater extracts of specific seaweeds for the treatment of cancer. Wounds, burns and rashes have been treated with seaweed, despite the fact that limited information is available regarding its use
as an anti-bacterial or antifungal agent. Contact dermatitis, goiter, gastrointestinal problems and rare cases of potent inflammatory reaction have been reported. I guess you are among those affected. This was a great pickup on your part and further reinforces my preaching regarding reading labels. You’ll get quite an education. Readers who would like related information on psoriasis can order my Health Report “Dermatitis, Psoriasis and Eczema” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039. Be sure to mention the title(s), or print an order form from my website’s direct link:
www.AskDrGottMD.com /order—form.pdf. Dear Dr. Gott: I would like more information on cellulitis. What is affected by this, and what I should do about it. Dear Reader: Bacteria can enter the body easily through breaks in the skin, insect bites and skin ulcers. Skin can split because of lymphedema, eczema, shingles, chickenpox, IV drug use and athlete’s foot — leading to an increased risk for bacteria to enter. Cellulitis is a skin infection commonly caused by the staphylococcus or streptococcus bacterium. There is an increasing number of cases of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), and
it is becoming a common cause of cellulitis. The condition can occur on any surface of the skin; however, the lower legs and feet are most commonly affected. Fungal infections of the feet may lead to recurring cellulitis. People with a weakened immune system are more susceptible than those who are healthy. Diagnosis can often be made through visual examination. However, a physician may order blood tests or wound cultures if any questions remain. Symptoms include fever, chills, skin that is warm to the touch, muscle aches and pains, and fatigue. Glands may become swollen. As the infection progresses, the area involved may enlarge and the skin may feel stretched.
Left untreated, infection can spread rapidly to the lymph nodes and bloodstream, becoming a very serious issue. Treatment is focused on controlling the infection, primarily with oral antibiotics. Improvement should occur completely within two weeks unless the individual has a diagnosis of a chronic disease such as diabetes. It is extremely important you follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the length of time you remain on the antibiotic. You should also revisit him or her for a follow-up to assure the drug’s effectiveness. Prevention involves maintaining good hygiene, keeping skin moist to prevent cracking and splitting, wash-
ing scratches or open skin areas with warm soap and water daily, applying an overthe-counter antibiotic ointment and dressing until a scab forms, trimming finger and toenails and watching for the telltale signs of infection. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Where is the entry card? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
There is a Chinese proverb that says: “Teachers open the door. You enter by yourself.” When you are playing at the bridge table, though, there are no teachers to help — you must find the way to open the door by yourself. In this deal, South reaches three no-trump. West leads the club two and East wins with his ace. What should declarer do? Did West have a more effective lead? South’s sequence showed a balanced hand with a good
22 to 24 points. Declarer apparently has 10 top tricks: two spades, one heart, five diamonds and two clubs (given trick one). But there is a snag — because the diamond suit is blocked, how does South enter the dummy after cashing the ace and king of diamonds? Most players would go down almost before starting, playing a low club under East's ace. Then East can lead any card to defeat the contract. The only dummy winner outside diamonds is the club 10. Declarer must drop his king (or queen) under East's ace. Then South can win
whatever East returns, take his two diamond winners, cash the club queen (or king), and lead a low club toward the 10 to establish that dummy entry. How does declarer find this key play? By taking his time at trick one, working through the various scenarios before playing from the dummy. West would have done better to lead a spade. Suppose South takes that trick, cashes his diamonds, then plays the club king. East wins and returns a spade, which declarer must duck. Now East shifts to a low heart. The defenders collect

Dear Dr. Gott: I read your recent column where one of your readers discovered the side effect of eating things with seaweed as an additive. Thank goodness I caught that particular item. I thought I had begun to suffer from psoriasis and even discussed it with my doctor. He said to use hydrocortisone to control it. It didn’t stop it. After reading DR. PETER your column, I checked and GOTT found that the heavy cream I was using in my coffee, sold in most supermarkets, had seaweed as a thickener. I stopped using that brand, went to natural cream, and the rashes slowly went away. I have no problems now and wish to pass along the information and a thank-you. It’s amazing and scary what is put in our food.

Hot weather will continue across the Central US on Wednesday, but the heat will expand more eastward and the Northern Plains will see some relief. The ridge of high pressure settled over the middle of the country will shift more eastward contributing to hotter conditions to the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Temperatures will be between 90 and 100 with heat indices reaching 115 degrees. In addition, high pressure positioned over the Gulf of Mexico will continue pushing ample moisture onshore triggering showers and thunderstorms over eastern Texas and southern Louisiana. Tropical Storm Bret off the eastern coast of Florida is expected to move northeasterly into the North Atlantic Ocean and weaken to a tropical depression by early Thursday morning. To the north, low pressure spinning over the Mid-Atlantic will bring heavy showers and thunderstorms to the region and to parts of the Southeast. Meanwhile, high pressure over the Northeast will contribute to hot and humid conditions. At the same time, low pressure positioned over the Northern Plains will bring cooler temperatures and push a frontal boundary through parts of the Upper Midwest. This boundary will kick up showers and possibly severe thunderstorms over northern Minnesota and into Canada. To the west, monsoon moisture will continue to push into the Southwest producing widespread showers over the Four Corners region. At the same time, low pressure in the Pacific Northwest will continue to bring cooler temperatures, scattered showers, and clouds. However, expect California and Nevada to see sunny and dry conditions with a few clouds.
