African-American tour full of history BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

It may be time for you to hit the trail — the African-American Heritage Trail in Salisbury and Rowan County. What are the kinds of discoveries you’ll find along the way? • The Harry Cowan state historic marker at 402 N. Main St. in Salisbury recognizes the Baptist minister — a former slave — who established 49 churches in North Carolina. • Soldiers Memorial AME Zion at 306 N. Church St. was founded in 1865 as Salisbury Station and Mount Zion Society, but the name was changed to honor the Union soldiers who fought for the freedom of slaves. The present sanctuary dates to 1892. • The “football marker” on the Livingstone College campus commemorates the first Negro inter-collegiate football game played in the United States in December 1892. The competing teams were Livingstone College and Biddle Institute (today’s Johnson C. Smith University). • R.A. Clement School in Cleveland dated back to 1880 as a one-room building known as the Cleveland Colored School. By 1930, it had grown to four classrooms and an auditorium, and it was named in 1943 for Rufus A. Clement, who donated land, money and physical labor to the school. The Rowan County Convention & Visitors Bureau has published 7,500 copies of the African-American Heritage

A view of Livingstone College and College Avenue in 1910. Trail brochure, but “brochure” doesn’t do justice to the 24-page publication filled with illustrations, photographs, maps and concise text and summaries. “It’s almost a little book, it really is,” said Gretchen Witt, supervisor of the Rowan Public Library’s Edith M. Clark History Room. Witt, Betty Dan Spencer, Reg Brown, Raemi Evans and Lesley Pullium made up the “working committee”‘ that spent more than a year putting together the African-American Heritage Trail for the convention and visitors bureau.

It’s really three tours or trails in one, and the brochure includes three different maps for each section. The “Downtown Salisbury & Vicinity Sites” section includes 21 places. “Livingstone College and Union Hill Sites” includes 24 locations. There are also 11 “Rowan County Sites.” The trails can be navigated by vehicle or, in the cases of the downtown and livingstone College areas, on foot. Witt said the committee became deeply involved in the

project, which she described as well-researched and documented, with particular attention to sound dates. “I feel like it’s accurate,” Witt said. Pullium, director of operations for the convention and visitors bureau, said the trail brochures will be placed at key N.C. welcome centers and rest areas, besides the Rowan County Visitors Center at 204 E. Innes St., the Rowan Museum, the Rowan Public Library, Livingstone College and local ho-

Report says Carroll was not rated to fly plane at night A report cited in the Myrtle Beach Sun News found that Danny Carroll, who died in a plane crash last week in North Myrtle Beach, was not rated to fly at nighttime in that particular plane. The findings are in a preliminary report released Tuesday from the National Transportation and Safety Board. Carroll, 54, his wife RayCARROLL chel, 66, and their granddaughter, Mallory Fields, were on their way back to Concord when the plane crashed and burned, destroying a mobile home in the development where it crashed. The report says Carroll rented the Piper PA on Wednesday

The deed is done, but local officials are still talking about a state bill reforming the state ABC system — or at least the amendment that changed the makeup of the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board. Jim Sides, a former commissioner and current candidate, used the public comment period of Monday’s Rowan County Board of Commissioners meeting to bring up the issue. Without mentioning names, Sides criticized the way two board members — Jon Barber and Raymond Coltrain — handled discussions about the amendment. Sides said he attended a July 7 state Senate finance committee where a sitting commissioner was given an opportunity to speak. That commissioner was Tina Hall, the board’s liaison to the ABC board. She said Tuesday that she had traveled to Raleigh to talk to individual legislators. “I remember going up and speaking to Sen. (Daniel) Clodfelter, co-chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and expressing some concerns about (N.C.) House Bill 1717 and Sen. (Fletcher) Hartsell’s amendment to it,” Hall said. The amendment will remove two of Rowan County’s three appointments to the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board, granting them to the cities of Salisbury and Kannapolis. According to Hall, Clodfelter then asked if she wanted to speak to the finance committee. She did, requesting that the amendment be removed so it could be discussed locally. Hall said she was asked whether she thought commissioners would be in favor of Sen. Andrew Brock’s amendment that would increase the ABC board from three members to five, giving Salisbury and Kannapolis each one appointment. “I said, ‘I think it would go well, because that was the board’s original intent — a five-member ABC board,’” Hall said, referring to discussions

with the stipulation that he return it by 8:30 p.m. that day. His flight to North Myrtle Beach was fine, but he notified Concord Regional Flight Services that he had to delay his flight back because of stormy weather in the area. The Sun News reported the recorded weather at the time was winds at 11 knots, visibility was 10 miles with a broken ceiling at 1,100 feet and overcast ceiling at 2,000 feet, according to the report. The Carrolls had spent the day with family on vacation in North Myrtle Beach. Danny Carroll was co-owner of Lady's Funeral Home in Kannapolis. A memorial service was held for the family last Sunday. According to the Sun News, Carroll received an hour “checkout” with a certificated flight instructor on July 6 so he could Today’s forecacst 96º/76º Afternoon thunderstorm

rent the plane. Carroll reported “about 100 hours in Piper Arrows,” according to the NTSB report. Carroll had to cancel a scheduled solo flight in the plane on July 12 “to satisfy night currency requirements” but bad weather cancelled that flight, according to the report. Carroll had a private pilot certificate and was rated for airplane single-engine land and instrument planes. He got his most recent Federal Aviation Administration certificate in March 2009, reporting 640 hours of total flight experience. Bob Gretz, NTSB senior air safety investigator, said it could take six to 12 months for the investigation to be complete. Fire consumed most of the wreckage. Only three identifiable instruments were recovered from the cockpit. The plane was Martha Ann Miller Wilbert Harris Helen T. Gaddy Dorothy Mills Steen Graham H. Weant

inspected on Feb. 18 and it had been flown about 75 hours since then. In the report, witnesses told investigators the plane was seen and heard flying low in the area before the crash. The NTSB inspector told the Sun News that Carroll, just before the crash, received instructions from the tower at Grand Strand Airport to climb from 700 to 6,000 feet, which was the cruising altitude listed in the filed flight plan. Carroll acknowledged the instruction from the tower and began to climb before the aircraft went off the radar. There was no emergency call sent from the plane, Gretz said. The report showed the plane turned left 270 degrees before radar contact was lost Information from the Myrtle Beach Sun News.s

City Council ready to move forward with veteran housing BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

Three people pushing for Liberty Square, a transitional housing community for homeless veterans, plead to the Salisbury City Council for a $150,000 grant as part of the community’s 35 percent contribution toward the construction and opening of Liberty Square. The remaining 65 percent will come from the VA Fund. Although the council did not take any official action on the grant request from Liberty Square, all council members agreed to grant the request. The Salisbury City Council approved a rezoning request for Liberty Square, along with building and site plans during a June 1 council meeting. “We are absolutely dedicated to this project and to the city of Salisbury to make sure we partner with folks in this room and a broad array of folks in the county to make sure we are going to provide the best support possible to veterans who would otherwise be homeless,” said Scott Little, a representative with RHA Health Services out of High Point. “We are prepared both as a builder and as a service provider to make this a reality.” Scott Redinger, a housing consultant with RHA, described the type of housing to the council, noting that the entire community was handicapped accessible, and each of the 24 units will house one veteran, complete with a bedroom, kitchen area, microwave, bathroom and table. Liberty Square, Redinger said, will not only be a safe place for homeless veterans to come to, but will be a place for them to get the help they need in order to get back out on their own again. Homeless veterans will be able to have a sense of community in the center, doing activities and cooking meals with other veterans, and will be helped one-on-one through crisis management, basic case management, financial help, further education and job training. “In 2009,800 homeless veterans were seen at the Salisbury VA hospital,” he said. “That is a tremendous number. “... We can absolutely say there is a need. We ap-

Pullium said her office has received requests for the trail brochures from African-American churches and families preparing for their annual reunions. She hopes the trail can be incorporated into new trolley tours of the downtown and Livingstone College area, offering African-American families a new activity for gatherings such as reunions, weddings, graduations and homecomings. The information also will be included on the convention and visitors bureau’s Web site and Facebook page. “It really turned out well,” Pullium said. “We’re very pleased with it and want to get the word out.” The project grew out of a self-guided trail

The council asked City Manager David Treme if the $150,000 grant was feasible, and he said he supported it, as it was part of the city’s goals in the Consolidated Strategic Plan for Housing and Neighborhood Revitalization. “I’ve always been excited about Liberty Square,” he said. “I feel like the council, by participating and looking at this loan money and grant money, would begin to seriously address the issues that were laid out in our plan.” Treme said the following three projects on the city’s agenda for this year have all addressed three main needs of Salisbury: • Villas at Hope Crest, senior/elderly housing, 55 units, $150,000 loan from city • Westridge Village, family apartments, 48 units,

City of Salisbury officials have followed the issue closely, saying the majority of alcohol sales take place in Salisbury and Kannapolis, so the cities deserve representation on the three-member board. Doug Paris, assistant to the Salisbury City Manager, wrote in an e-mail to the Post that those 2004 meeting minutes that referred to a fivemember board were “past their expiration date and not relevant to the current discussions.” On the Senate floor later on July 7, Hartsell said his amendment “memorializes” an agreement between

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Military officials say a soldier based in North Carolina has died of injuries suffered in an attack in Afghanistan. A statement from the Department of Defense on Tuesday said 23-year-old Sgt. Jesse R. Tilton of Decatur, Ill., died July 16 at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. Officials said Tilton’s unit was in Kandahar City on July 13 when it was attacked by insurgents using rifle, rocketpropelled grenade, and smallarms fire. Tilton was assigned to the 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.

Rowan County and the two cities that took place when the Rowan and Kannapolis systems merged. Brock responded that the board of commissioners originally wanted to increase the ABC board’s membership to five, but the state ABC Commission did not advise it. Sen. Stan Bingham, a Republican representing Davidson County, said that he used to represent Rowan County and called two commissioners that he knew — Barber and Coltrain. “Neither knew of the commissioner that was here speaking on their behalf and did not endorse what she had to say,” Bingham said on the Senate floor. Sides said at Monday’s meeting, “I was simply appalled when (Hall) was actually called a liar from the

Senate floor by a sitting Senator in the state of North Carolina,” he said. He said the chair and vice chair of the board — Carl Ford and Chad Mitchell, respectively — had spoken to Hall and supported her but were not called. The commissioners Bingham called — Barber and Coltrain — “simply hung her out to dry, and my friends, that was not an honorable thing to do,” Sides said. Barber, also a candidate for re-election, said Tuesday that he didn’t know Hall was in Raleigh when Bingham called, and he hadn’t discussed the bill with Hall, so he simply told the truth. In addition, Barber said he only learned the details of Hartsell’s amendment later that afternoon. He found out about Brock’s proposed

amendment the next day. “I don’t have a problem with (Brock’s amendment), but nobody ever asked my opinion,” Barber said. Coltrain did not attend Monday’s meeting. In an interview Tuesday, Coltrain said he also had not spoken with Hall about the amendment or her trip to Raleigh. “Our board had not discussed and come to an official position on that, so therefore, any position that she was conveying would have to be her individual position,” he said. Coltrain told Bingham he thought Hartsell’s amendment was fine the way it was. He said Tuesday he didn’t intend to discredit Hall’s opinion, only to express his own.

Nothing a power company can do would influence a customer to buy into electric-car technology, he said. “An electric car, which can cost $40,000 or more even after rebates, is not something a utility could ultimately influence,” Jacobi said. The commission didn’t spell out what kinds of promotions might be covered by its ruling. Regulators will meet with utility officials in the next two months to discuss how to proceed.

The regulator’s decision comes as the power companies anticipate higher power demand as a result of plug-in electric cars. Electric cars need as much power to recharge batteries as a central air conditioner. Duke Energy and Progress Energy are working with the auto industry, local officials and universities to install a statewide network of about 350 recharging stations to help keep electric cars on the road. The utilities’ work in developing the car-charging network is designed to change customer behavior in a significant way, said members of the commission’s Public Staff, which represents North Carolina consumers in utility matters.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina electric utilities allowed to increase rates as energy efficiency programs cut usage won’t have free rein to boost sales with promotion campaigns, state regulators said. Shareholder-owned Progress Energy and Duke Energy will have to identify and track promotions that increase power demand, and the state Utilities Commission will calculate how much revenue the companies will have to relinquish, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday. The commission imposed the requirement this month on Charlotte-based Duke Energy after rejecting the company’s appeal. The commission adopted a similar standard for Raleigh-based Progress Energy last year. Increases in electricity demand that are not prompted by a power company promotion — such as people buying higherenergy digital televisions — are

In terms of dollars spent per units, this is excellent to me.” “I do think it’s a wonderful project and it certainly is much needed,” Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said.

brochure first developed in 2001 by former Tourism Executive Director Judy Newman. As those copies dwindled, current director James Meacham took up the cause for an enhanced trail brochure in 2007, and a marketing committee set things in motion. Consultant Gwen Jackson helped in the early stages. For the new booklet, Brown has written three pages of text covering subjects such as early settlers, slavery in Rowan County, Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction periods, Memorial Day and civil rights issues. The brochure also includes an impressive list of 40 of the oldest African-American churches and cemeteries in Rowan County, dating back to the mid and late 1860s. Witt said the working committee made hard choices on what to include and what to leave out. Members wanted a trail brochure that was interesting but not overwhelming, she said.

Mooresville couple’s all natural beverage something to root about BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

f you’re a fan of root beer, you’ll love Uncle Scott’s All Natural Root Beer. If you’re not a fan, you might be after one bottle. The beverage is the creation of Scott and Suzanne Ramsey of Mooresville. Locally, you can find it at Okey Dokey and Co. General Store; Atwell One Stop, Stag ’n’ Doe and Steve’s Corner Store in China Grove; Conrad & Hinkle Grocery in Lexington; and McLaughlin’s Farmhouse and McCann’s Place in Mooresville. The bottles sell for $2 a piece or $8.75 for a six-pack. “We want folks to visit local stores,” Scott says. A candy fiend, Scott always takes time to load up from Okey Dokey’s barrels of old-fashioned treats. Bette Pollock of Okey Dokey says the response to the root beer has been very good. “I always tell customers that it’s made locally,” she says. “We like to promote local products.” Scott loved making root beer as a child. He and his wife had considered making it. But first, they installed a specialty grape vineyard of French and Spanish grapes. They lost all 700 vines two years ago in a bad freeze. So they came back to their root beer idea. July 22 marks the third year the root beer hit stores. “You cook it like you’re making beer,” Scott explains. “It’s as complex as wine.” The root beer has a whole lot going on when it hits your tongue. Some people immediately taste the licorice, Suzanne says, while others pick up on the cherry, vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Scott and Suzanne are proud of the fact that you can pronounce all of the ingredients: filtered carbonated water, vanilla, cinnamon oil, caramel, wood extract, licorice root oil, anise oil and natural gum arabic. Just so you know, a dollop of vanilla ice cream mellows the flavor even more. Suzanne says she’s heard of the beverage being used as an ingredient in baked beans, barbecue sauce, marinades, cocktails and cakes. The duo brought in a partner, Jeff Fleenor. Jeff and Scott deliver the beverages to 57 stores and restaurants in Rowan, Mecklenburg, Iredell and Davidson

Tea Party Forum gives locals a chance to quiz candidates BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

Voters had a chance to hear, and question, candidates for local offices at Tuesday’s forum organized by the Rowan County Tea Party Patriots. The crowd at Blue Bay Seafood Restaurant on Statesville Boulevard neared 200 people, many standing or sharing tables and booths. Michael Lambe said the turnout was “nearly double” attendance at the last forum in June. Sheriff Kevin Auten, a Democrat, and Republican candidate John Noble were the first to speak. They were followed by Karen Biernacki (D) and Brandy Cook (R), candidates for district attorney. The program included judicial candidates Beth Dixon and Douglas Smith, and Rowan Register of Deeds John Brindle (D) and challenger Harry Welch Jr. (R). Each candidate was given time to speak, followed by questions for the candidates for a particular office. Audience members’ concerns were wide-ranging, including issues discussed by Tea Party groups nationwide. Those included discussions of threats to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, as well as questions about enforcing immigrations laws. The issue of whether or not President Barack Obama

Board of Adjustment puts brakes on Rockwell go-kart race track

She’s the only full-time employee so far in this venture. “I have the cutest delivery person there is,” Suzanne says of Scott.

festivals. They’re considering adding another product to their repertoire — either a blueberry, raspberry or black cherry soda in the next year or two. “That’s still in the development stages,” Suzanne says. The root beer’s name comes from Suzanne’s nieces. “They said, ‘Uncle Scott, this is the best root beer we’ve ever tasted,’” Suzanne says. “I said, ‘There’s our name.’”

The disputed Rockwell go-kart track was red-flagged Tuesday when the Board of Adjustment revoked Mike Cauble’s accessory structure permit. Cauble built the race track behind his business, Carolina Pipe Cleaning, to boost morale among his workers. But, neighboring families did not like the noise, and investigated the definition of an accessory permit further, eventually appealing Cauble’s permit. Chris Stiller, adjacent property owner who has been against the track since February, said he was pleased with the board’s decision. “I think the board did the right thing,” he said. Cauble could not be reached for comment, but previously said he be fine with whatever the town decided. Each board member spoke about their decision to revoke the permit, and all agreed that the race track was not a true accessory structure, in that it was not used for the same or similar purposes as the main building.

Union Grove man charged with murder of Harmony teenager HARMONY— A 20-yearold Union Grove man has been charged in the shooting death of a Harmony teenager. The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office has charged Joshua Enoch Wilfong, 20, of Indian Hill Road, Union Grove, with murder in the death of Desmon Kennell Pless, 18. Deputies responding to a call late Saturday night found Pless dead in the residence. Others at the residence gave deputies a description of a possible suspect vehicle. It was spotted a short time later near Iredell County’s Old Mocksville Road and Interstate 40. Deputies attempted to stop the vehicle and a chase ensued on I-40. The vehicle was stopped near the 155 mile marker and two people detained. Two others fled and were seen running toward residential areas off River Hill Road. Wilfong turned himself in to detectives early Sunday morning after the intensive manhunt. Capt. Darren Campbell said in a press release that Pless and Wilfong were among several people at the residence on Harmony Blend Drive when some type of altercation erupted and shots were fired. Campbell said interviews indicated some type of drug use was going on at the home prior to the shooting. Wilfong is being held in the Iredell County Detention Center without bond.

Golf cart demolition derby at Foxwood Unable to break into a golf course clubhouse, a group of would-be thieves settled for a demolition derby with golf carts. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the damage to Foxwood Golf Course at 940 Potneck Road. Capt. John Sifford said someone tried to break into the clubhouse, prying off the two window screens, but were unable to gain entry. Their efforts were then directed at mayhem. Sifford said they took several golf carts for a joy ride, spun doughnuts on the putting greens, and ran over the flags on the 18-hole course. Before the melee was over, they crashed golf carts into each other. The final touch was placing a dead skunk on a green. Sifford said the damage was estimated at almost $10,000. The incident occurred between 8:30 p.m. on July 15 and 8 a.m. on July 16. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704216-8700.

Former police officer nabs thieves A former Salisbury Police officer helped nab four teens cleaning out vacant mobile homes. Gary Mills, a retired officer who lives next door to Oakland Meadows Mobile Home Park, noticed a truck in the driveway at 248 Ferrell Drive around 8:30 a.m. Friday. Mills saw four people removing property from the home and contacted the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office. Capt. John Sifford said Mills and the park manager, Vonda McNulty, detained the four teens until deputies arrived. Deputies charged each with four counts of breaking and entering and four counts of larceny, all felonies. Those charged are: Jack Clint Robertson, 17; Jacob

They were placed in the Rowan County Detention Center with bond set at $5,000 each. Sifford said when deputies arrived they found a refrigerator and stove next to a Chevrolet S10 pickup truck driven by one of the four teens. Initially, deputies charged the foursome with one break-in each, but several hours later, the manager contacted deputies regarding three additional break-ins at the mobile home park.

Valuable tractors stolen from farm Two tractors and other farm equipment valued at more than $70,000 were stolen from a Mount Ulla farm early Saturday. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft which occurred between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. Saturday. Capt. John Sifford said the tractors were taken from 1550 Edmiston Road, the residence of Roger T. Stapleton. Sifford said the tractors had been parked near a shed or barn. Stapleton told deputies that the tractors were in place when he got home around 2 a.m. The next morning he noticed the tractors were gone, but thought they were in use in the field. The other victim in the theft, Elwood S. Dowdy, also apparently thought Stapleton had taken the tractors to the field. At some point Saturday afternoon when the two men met up, they discovered that neither had the tractors. At that point they called the Sheriff’s Office. Dowdy told deputies that it appeared that someone had moved a truck under a shed, possibly to facilitate the theft. The tractors taken were a Case and a New Holland, each valued at around $30,000. Other items taken: a Howse drive shaft, a New Holland loader, an International bushhog and a New Holland bailer command system. The total value of items taken was put at $72,800. Sifford said the equipment has been listed in the national crime data base. Anyone with information on the theft is asked to call the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office at 704- 216-8700.

Woman charged with theft of credit cards A Salisbury woman has been charged with stealing her co-worker’s credit cards and doing some unauthorized shopping. Salisbury Police charged Thea Sarell Allison, 20, of 616 S. Clay St., with three felony counts of financial transaction card fraud and one count of financial card theft. According to a police report, Deanna Rankin contacted police after she had been called by a representative of Target’s credit card section. Rankin immediately checked her wallet and found that two of her credit cards were missing. Chief Rory Collins said investigators developed Allison as a suspect and video footage showed her using the cards. Collins said Allison was a co-worker of Rankin’s at Autumn Care of Salisbury, 1505 Bringle Ferry Road. A total of four charges were recorded, totaling slightly less than $400.

Unaffiliated candidate short on signatures 2 more file for school board seats An unaffiliated candidate for county commissioner did not gather enough signatures to appear on the November ballot, but he said he plans to try again in the future. County Elections Director Nancy Evans said Michael Turman handed in 1,211 signatures of support that were verified as belonging to registered voters in Rowan County. He needed 3,591 signatures, or 4 percent of the county’s registered voters, in order to make it onto the Nov. 2 ballot as an unaffiliated candidate for Rowan County Commissioner. “I think we did really, really well for such a short period of time,” Turman said. “I think that proves folks are ready for some change, and that folks would be open to an independent running.” Turman said that if he and his support-

Suzanne points out that Aug. 6 is National Root Beer Float Day, and she’s noticed another interesting trend with her product of late. “Root beer is like, the thing to have at weddings now,” says Suzanne, a former event planner. So how big do the Ramseys want their company to get? Scott defers to his wife. “I’m just a truck driver,” he says. “We’ll see where it goes,” Suzanne says. “We’re getting a kick out of it now.” Jeff echoes Suzanne’s sentiments. “We want to be able to stand behind the product and have fun doing it.”

Staff report

Two more people filed for seats on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education on Monday. Michael Caskey of Kannapolis will face off against Troy M. Rushing Jr. of Landis for the South seat. The seat is currently held by Patty Williams, who is not seeking re-election. Caskey ran for a seat on the board during the 2006 election. Jean Kennedy of Salisbury is seeking re-election as the special area representative. Kennedy currently serves as the board’s vicechairwoman. Kay Wright Norman of Salisbury filed for re-election to represent the West district on the board. Four of the seven seats on the board are up for election this year. The other seat up for election is the North district seat, now held by Karen Carpenter. She has said it is unlikely she will run again.

ers just had another week or two, they might have gotten enough signatures. A heat wave close to the June 25 deadline made it hard for them to go door-to-door, he said. Turman said he received nearly 1600 signatures that were not turned in to be validated. Some came in after the deadline, and others he chose not to submit. “I confirmed with Raleigh that I didn’t have to do that, and there’s no time limit,” Turman said. “Since they didn’t get turned in for certification, they can be used toward next time. That gives me a good head start for the next go-round.” He said he plans on running for a county commissioner seat again. That could be two years from now in the presidential election year, but Turman said he will most likely in four years when three seats will be open again instead of two.

FROM 3A officer, juvenile officer and detective. He said he wanted to reverse the decision to take resource officers out of Rowan’s middle schools. “They not only walk the halls and patrol, they educate the students and tell them how life is in society,” Noble said. He also said he wanted to see personnel available at the sheriff’s office 24 hours a day. Gang violence is a concern to both Noble and Auten. “Whether you believe it or not, they’re here. Gangs are here,” Noble said. “And we are going to have to work and work – we may not be able to stop it all, but we can put a big dent in it.” The two were asked whether or not they would actively support and enforce laws against illegal immigration, a question which met with loud cheers and applause. Auten said that every prisoner of “questionable immigration status” who is charged with specific crimes, including break-ins and driving while impaired, are run through a federal immigration database. He said there was a danger that some criminals might be deported before they could be prosecuted here. “But you actively try to identify them and do something about them?” the audience member asked “Absolutely,” Auten said. “I wholeheartedly agree with Sheriff Auten,” Noble said. “We are slack. We do too much for them, and it shouldn’t be that way.” Both candidates said they supported the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. One audience member asked a more direct question: “If President Obama issued an executive order to seize guns or ammunition, would you do it, yes or no?”

A discussion ensued after which both candidates said each would enforce the laws and uphold the constitutions of North Carolina and the United States to the best of their ability if elected sheriff. Candidates for district attorney, set to replace retiring D.A. Bill Kennerly, also faced tough questions. Biernacki joked about the similarity of her name to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. “Its not a Rowan County name, but I am a Rowan County girl,” said the former Karen Simpson, graduate of West Rowan High School. After detailing her career as a law student and soldier in the U.S. Army, she said, “As to your question about the right to bear arms, I have carried a gun for my country. I also carry a gun now.” Brandy Cook spoke of her work as an assistant D.A. in Cabarrus County for almost 10 years. She pointed to a 100 percent conviction rate in first degree murder jury trials and a 91 conviction rate in felony jury trials as evidence of her dedication. Both candidates touted record of numerous prosecutions at various levels, from district court to superior court, including successes against child molesters, drunk drivers and violent criminals. One of the first questions for the two was more focused on national, rather than local, laws. “How do you view the constitutionality of the sitting president?” an audience member asked. “Is he abiding by the highest law of the land?” There followed a debate about the role of the assistant district attorney as a prosecutor and his or her requirement to uphold the law. “For ten years I have been as frustrated as you with cases that I did not agree with,” Cook said. “But we have an ethical job

as the assistant D.A. to follow the laws ... regardless of whether we disagree with them or not,” she said. The backlog of cases in Rowan County was also an issue. Both pledged to streamline procedures. Biernacki took issue with a comment Cook made about the efficiency of Rowan’s system. “With about the same number of case filings ... we’re also doing the job with about three less staff in our office than Ms. Cook has in her office in Cabarrus County,” Biernacki said. Lambe said he was pleased with the turnout and the chance for candidates to speak to the citizens for whom they’ll work. “We’re hoping they’ll get a feel for each candidate,” Lambe said. Local resident Les Langlais said he planned to judge which candidates were best by hearing which would have “character enough to work in the best interests of the people.”

Pantano criticizes Obama over nuke waste decision WILMINGTON (AP) — A Republican candidate for the U.S. House said Tuesday that President Barack Obama’s attempts to shut down Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository endanger southeastern North Carolina. If the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada is shut down, spent nuclear fuel will have to be stored above ground on the Brunswick Nuclear Plant property near Southport, Ilario Pantano said during a news conference in Wilmington. He said it would be susceptible to hurricanes and too close to the Army’s Sunny Point ammunition depot. “Do you think it is safer for nuclear waste to be stored above ground in Brunswick County or buried deep in a mountain in the desert of Nevada?” Pantano said. Mike Hughes, a spokesman for Progress Energy, said the Brunswick plant’s method of storing spent fuel is time-tested and safe. He said the plant can store spent nuclear fuel rods on site for the life of the plant, but the company prefers one central longterm storage site like Yucca Mountain. The plant has started building a short-term storage facility that will be done this fall. Hughes said it will be able to withstand hurricanes and other extreme conditions. Currently, the plant stores spent rods in deepwater pools that keep the radioactive rods cool. Obama opposes the plan to bury the nation’s most radioactive spent nuclear fuel 90 miles northwest of Las Vegas. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission legal panel told the federal Department of Energy in June it can’t withdraw its application for the Yucca Mountain repository. The Obama administration has appealed the ruling. Pantano is taking on Rep. Mike McIntyre of Lumberton in the 7th Congressional District. He blasted the seven-term Democrat for not joining 91 members of Congress in a July 6 letter condemning the administration’s plans to shut down the Yucca Mountain project. He vowed, if elected, to restore funds to the project to make sure Yucca Mountain opens in 2017.

ment.” Graduates of A.L. Brown High School in Kannapolis who will be attending NCCU were added to the invitation list this year, more than doubling the number of invited guests. Because the rising freshmen and sophomores will be returning again next year, Woodward said he expects the Eagle Fest to continue to grow every year. Among the alumni attending last year’s gala was Karen Biernacki, who is running as the Democratic candidate for Rowan County District Attorney.

Stanback family makes donation to Blue Ridge Parkway WAYNESVILLE — Fred and Alice Stanback of Salisbury have made a donation to help protect land along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Joe Arrington sold a 64-acre parcel to the Conservation Trust for North Carolina in April and, in June, finalized the donation of an additional 46 acres in Haywood County, near Parkway Milepost 440. CTNC plans to convey the combined property, called the Richland Creek Headwaters tract, to the National Park Service for inclusion in the Parkway’s boundary. The purchase and costs for the donation — a total of $542,358 — were funded by a donation from Fred and Alice Stanback and grants from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund and the Pigeon River Fund. The preservation of the property is timely, as the Parkway marks the 75th anniversary of the start of its construction. Arrington’s family first bought

their land in 1936, before Parkway construction reached their area. Thirty of the family’s 188 acres were condemned and used for the road project; the area is now the site of Pinnacle Ridge Tunnel. “Even the locals appreciate it and enjoy the place where you get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the cool mountain air,” Arrington said. “It isn’t something you see once and say, ‘Been there, done that.’” The Richland Creek Headwaters tract provides a spectacular backdrop for Blue Ridge Parkway travelers — especially from the Waynesville and Saunook overlooks — near the boundary of Haywood and Jackson counties in the Great Balsam Mountains. The land lies between Nantahala and Pisgah national forests and near the 32,000-acre Ron Taylor Memorial Forest, and a mere 12 miles east of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Sloop family holds biennial reunion Saturday The descendants of Conrad and Mary Sloop, 18th-century settlers of Rowan County, are holding their biennial reunion Saturday, July 24 at Lutheran Chapel Church, 135 Eudy Road, in China Grove. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. with the worship service at 11 a.m. and lunch at 12 p.m. A business

meeting is scheduled for 1 p.m. Those attending are asked to bring a potluck lunch and beverage. Most, if not all, Sloops in North Carolina can trace their ancestry back to Conrad and Mary. Thus, anyone with the last name Sloop or a descendant of a Sloop is welcome to attend.

Airport board elects new members The Rowan County Airport Advisory Board elected Clay Lindsay as chair and Ronald Steelman as vice chair at its July 15 meeting.

Simply Summer . . .

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

Above: Peach and blueberry triﬂe. Below: Salad with peach chunks.

...with peaches and blueberries BY PAT BRANNING For The Salisbury Post

Summer in the South fairly sings with the sweetness of fresh blueberries and peaches. Right now, blueberries and peaches are abundant and at their freshest, bursting with flavor and guaranteed to make big smiles on all the little faces in your life. Nothing says summer like the sight and smell of baskets of fresh blueberries and peaches at a roadside stand. And what better way to showcase them than with an oldfashioned crisp topped with creamy vanilla ice cream. A trip to the grocery store for fresh fruit is not nearly as adventurous as a trip to the peach orchard where you can pick your own. There are several orchards in Salisbury, and the surrounding area is having a fantastic season, with plenty of varieties to choose from. Since fresh ingredients are the secret to success in almost any dish, shop locally whenever you can. Let the foods of the season be your

guide to healthful, irresistible family meals any night of the week. Should you happen to bite into a tree-ripened peach while you’re there, have a big napkin in hand. The juice is bound to flow from this delicious fruit right down your chin. I always come home with a big, beautiful basket of peaches and lay them out on the porch table to fully ripen. When they all start to ripen at once, it’s time to get creative! Peeling a big basket of peaches can be tedious work, but I remembered reading about a quick peeling technique. Make an “x” with a paring knife on the bottom of each peach, flash boil them for 30 seconds and then toss them into an ice water bath. Once they are cool to the touch, the peels slide right off. It’s so easy! Be mindful of the fact that this fresh, tasty fruit isn’t just good for desserts. You can also create crispy, peachy salads. Here’s one we discovered recently that’s especially delicious.

Grilled Peach Salad with Citrus Herb Vinaigrette 4 slices bacon, fried crispy and set aside Mixed greens Olive oil 3 firm, ripe peaches, pitted and quartered ½ red onion, thinly sliced Vinaigrette: ¼ C. sugar 2 ⁄3 C. extra virgin olive oil 3 Tbsp. water 2 Tbsp. Champagne vinegar 2 fresh garlic cloves, minced 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard 2 tsp. lime juice 2 tsp. lemon juice 2 tsp. fresh parsley, minced 11⁄2 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely chopped Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and spray with nonstick spray. Brush the peaches with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden and char marks appear, about 2 minutes on each side. Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl for the salad dressing. Mi-

crowave on high for one minute until the mixture bubbles rapidly. This infuses the flavors of the herbs into the oil and vinegar. Whisk for one minute more until the mixture forms an emulsion. Cover and chill at least one hour before serving.

Peach Blueberry Trifle Everyone loves to make trifle because it’s one of the prettiest desserts you can pull together. And even better, it’s a cinch to make. The multiple layers delight the senses with so many colors, textures and flavors. Although the dictionary defines “trifle” as being something insignificant, this dessert is anything but. It makes a big show at a party; however, often it is staid and stuffy and offers little in terms of real taste. Now’s the time to turn up the flavor in this old-fashioned dessert by using the wonderful summer peaches and blueberries available right now. Let’s turn it into the delicious and elegant offering we know it can be. While we’re at it, let’s try a unique presentation idea. Layer this lusciousness into Mason jars topped with pretty fabrics and tied with bright ribbon — perfect for any backyard or poolside gathering!

You’ll need 3 or 4 for this recipe, depending on the size you choose. In this recipe, use the freshest peaches and berries of the season for sensational flavor. custard: 1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk 1 ⁄2 C. water 1 ⁄4 C. cornstarch 2 eggs 3 C. milk 1 ⁄2 C. butter 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 tsp. almond extract Trifle: 1 ⁄4 cup sugar 8 large fresh peaches, peeled and sliced 3 ⁄4 C. blueberries 1 pound cake, cut into ½ inch cubes 1 ⁄2 C. Amaretto Combine the condensed milk, water, cornstarch and eggs in a bowl and mix until smooth. Combine the milk and butter in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts. Add the egg mixture gradually and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and almond extract. This is delicious all by itself!

Sprinkle the sugar over the peaches and blueberries in a bowl and let stand until the sugar dissolves. Brush the pound cake slices generously with the liqueur and layer them in the Mason jars. Layer onethird of the peaches and berries, then one-third of the custard and then the cake. Repeat the layers until all the cake, peaches, blueberries and custard are used. Place lids on the Mason jars and refrigerate overnight. If desired, decorate with brightly colored ribbons and fabric. Serves 10. Here’s another summertime favorite so simple to make, yet always delicious!

Blueberry and Peach Crisp For the filling: 4 C. blueberries 2 C. fresh peaches, sliced 1 ⁄2 C. sugar 1 ⁄2 tsp. cinnamon 1 Tbsp. cornstarch 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1 ⁄4 tsp. sea salt For the topping: 3 ⁄4 C. all-purpose flour

⁄2 C. rolled oats ⁄2 tsp. baking power ⁄2 tsp. salt

1 1 1

6 Tbsp. butter, softened ⁄3 C. sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.Make the filling. Mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Transfer to an 8- inch square baking dish. Make the topping: Stir together the flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and sugar in a mixer until pale and fluffy. Stir dry ingredients into butter mixture. Sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Bake until bubbling in center and brown on top, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with pure vanilla ice cream for a hot weather treat. Yields: 8-10 servings. Pat Branning lives in Salisbury and is the Food Editor for the Beaufort Tribune, Hilton Head’s South of the Broad and the Deer Isle Chronicle, Stonington, Maine.

Farmers Market update: Flowers, peppers and corn abound Meet Domisty Menius

Summer color is what the Farmers Market is about this week. Lee Ly, Bluebird Acres Farm and Mrs.Wang have bouquets of summer flowers. For as little as a dollar you can take home a small short stem bouquet of zinnias, sunflowers, dahlias and cosmos. Larger bouquets are $10. All three growers will help you choose your flowers and create a bouquet for you. Both Bluebird Farms and Mrs. Wang are hoping the delicate tuberoses will be open by Saturday. Sweet and hot peppers rival the flowers in color and shapes. One new pepper is a sweet Mini Bell Pepper in reds, greens and yellows. If you are making a salad or small salsa requiring a little bell pepper, these tiny gems are just perfect. You can chop one pepper and get a quarter cup or less. They make a colorful addition to any dish without sacrificing freshness. A larger pepper with a different taste from bell pepper is the colorful Cubano. I added a bit of Cubano to Correll Farm’s Corn Salad recipe to add color and a hint of warmth. You can find a wide variety of hot peppers from the hottest habanero to the common jalapeno at several vendors. Eagle Farm has roasting peppers and several varieties of hot and mild peppers.

Dear Mom: Your kids deserve more than a “father figure.” I vote for an actual father to be in their lives, if at all possible. If your husband was really honest with himself (and you), he might admit that he finds being an on-site father frightening. He is already missing the most formative period of his children’s lives, and with you working so many hours, they genuinely need his presence. You should not be filling out job applications for him unless he asks you to, and I

agree with you that it would be best if he pursued opportunities closer to home. Your husband knows that an important aspect of being a parent is providing for a family. Now he needs to learn that “providing” takes many forms — not just financial but also hands-on parenting. I hope your kids are receiving consistent and quality childcare. With both parents spending so many hours at work, they need it.

money. I told him I don’t care about how much money he makes; I just want him to be around for the kids and me. I’m very stressed out raising both kids by myself. Do you think it’s wrong of me to want him to be close to home, or do you think I should just let him go and make more money, as he seems to want to do? I’m worried about our marriage. I want a father figure in my kids’ lives, so should I give up on this man? I don’t want to just give up on our marriage. — Working Mom

Dear Amy: My husband and I have two daughters. One is 18 months old and the other is 2 months old. I work full time (usually 48 hours a week) at a factory in town and take care of both children by myself all week when I’m not at work. My husband works ASK hours 21 ⁄ 2 AMY away (usually 58 hours a week) and because of the distance he only comes home Saturday nights around 6 and goes back Sunday evenings around 5. Since our last daughter’s birth, I have wanted him to try to find a job closer to home. He works in a field where fortunately there are plenty of jobs. What’s the point of being married when I never see my husband and the kids never see their father? I have filled out applications for him for companies within driving distance. But just last week, he told me he’s interested in a job six hours away where he’d make more

A CAUTIONARY TALE

Club scene wasn’t pretty lub Liqwid has closed its doors in downtown Salisbury, and many would say good riddance. Since opening little more than a year ago, the nightclub — which occupied the South Main Street site formerly known as Club Zidis — has been the scene of several altercations involving unruly crowds, fights, drunken behavior, destruction of property and even gunshots. It comes as no surprise that its final event, a private party held over the weekend, ended in yet another melee. The club and its patrons are lucky that none of these incidents escalated into the kind of deadly rampage that recently took two lives only a few blocks away. That incident, which began It comes as no inside another shows how surprise that its club, easily an alcoholfinal event, a fueled confrontacan spill over private party held tion into senseless over the weekend, tragedy. The city’s expeended in yet rience with Club another melee. Liqwid might serve as a cautionary tale as it looks for ways to bring more people — especially more young people — to the streets of downtown during the evening and night hours. As desirable as it may be to envision city sidewalks filled with convivial crowds, an unruly mob is a publicsafety nightmare. Even though the trouble may arise at one establishment, the repercussions can tarnish the reputation of the surrounding area. A few ugly incidents can begin to unravel the positive work that’s been done to make downtown Salisbury a more inviting, pleasant place to meet friends, enjoy a meal or a glass of wine, take in a play or stroll the streets. That simply can’t be allowed to happen. While it appears that Club Liqwid voluntarily shut down, authorities say they were applying more pressure on its operators in the wake of recent incidents, including possible sanctions involving its liquor license. Before permitting another club of this type, officials should consider the potential for problems at large, private parties — and the level of security that should be required. Let’s hope a similar situation doesn’t arise in the future. But if it does, police and city officials shouldn’t hesitate to take a hard-nosed approach and turn up the heat at the earliest signs of trouble. As much as the city needs to be business friendly and fill vacant storefronts, it has to ensure that downtown offers a safe, amenable atmosphere. Sidewalk brawls are no selling point.

An unwelcome gift for Bill Friday Leaders ignore low-tuition goal n a poignant moment at William Friday’s 90th birthday party last week, current UNC President Erskine Bowles stopped by to express regards to his predecessor. Later, in a video, Bowles praised Friday for his leadership and wisdom. Ironically, only a few hours before the birthday party, Bowles took action that may have hammered the final nails in the coffin that will bury one of the University’s policies D.G. that Friday fought hardMARTIN est and, until recently, most successfully to preserve. For Friday, maintaining the lowest cost to students for a university education is a critical part in insuring that all qualified potential college students get the kind of higher education that will make them better citizens and taxpayers. Friday’s commitment to low-cost higher education went beyond the state’s constitutional requirement that “The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense.” (Article XI, Section 9) Today, university and legislative leaders largely ignore that constitutional mandate. It was different in earlier times, when some members of the University’s Board of Governors, such as the late Chuck Flack from Forest City, would greet any proposal to raise tuition by getting into your face and saying something like, “Can’t do it. Look at the Constitution and let me hear you say, ‘Article Nine, Section Nine.’ ” Dick Spangler, who followed Friday as university president, took the Constitution’s and Friday’s low tuition policy to heart. In fact, the official painting of Spangler that is displayed in the university headquarters building shows him with a computer. The computer’s screen reads, “Article 9, Section 9.” As one who served under Spangler, I was not surprised.

It helped Friday and Spangler that the university-wide Board of Governors and the legislature, rather than the leaders or the boards of each campus, set tuition for the entire university system. Also, the proceeds from tuition increases did not go directly to the coffers of the campuses of the students who paid the tuition. Thus, there was no direct benefit to each campus from tuition increasFRIDAY es to its students. Friday and Spangler knew that if the campuses could raise tuition and apply the proceeds for faculty salaries and other compelling needs, any resistance to shifting more of the costs to students would melt away. Friday and Spangler wanted the legislature to continue to be responsible for funding the university’s excellence as it shared responsibility with the university’s Board of Governors for keeping the costs to students low. Notwithstanding their continued advocacy, those arrangements began to evaporate when Friday and Spangler were no

The question in Afghanistan en. David Petraeus sailed through Senate confirmation so quickly in late June that few people noticed what he had to say about his new job as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Petraeus told the Senate Armed Services Committee that American forces face many more battles against a determined and resilient Taliban. “My sense is that the tough fighting will continue,” Petraeus said. “Indeed, it may get more intense in the next few months.” BYRON But Petraeus said that as YORK the fighting increases — and American casualties rise — the public should remember that “progress is possible” in Afghanistan. Petraeus knows that’s true, he explained, because he has seen it. “For example, nearly 7 million Afghan children are now in school as opposed to less than 1 million a decade ago under Taliban control,” Petraeus said. “Immunization rates for children have gone up substantially and are now in the 70 to 90 percent range nationwide. Cell phones are ubiquitous in a country that had virtually none during the Taliban days.” It was an extraordinary moment. Americans overwhelmingly supported the invasion of Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. In eight and a half years of war there, 1,190 American service members have died. And after all that sacrifice, the top American commander is measuring the war’s progress by school attendance, child immunization and cell-phone use. That sort of nation building, especially in a place as primitive as Afghanistan, has never been popular with American voters. It’s especially unpopular when combined with highly restrictive rules of engagement that have tied the hands of the nearly 100,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan, exposing them to danger from an enemy they’re not allowed to strike. Petraeus has promised to review those rules in light of evidence they have caused needless American deaths. The latest example came in the Rolling Stone article that led to the firing of Petraeus’ predecessor, Gen. Stanley McChrystal. The article told how U.S. commanders wanted to destroy an abandoned house used by the Taliban to launch attacks, but were denied permission. Then, a 23-year-old Army corporal was killed there. “Does that make any (expletive) sense?” a fellow soldier asked. “You sit and ask yourself: What are we doing here?” In another scene detailed by author Michael Hastings, a soldier confronted McChrystal about the rules. “We aren’t putting fear into the Taliban,” he told the general. “Winning hearts and minds in (counterinsurgency operations) is a coldblooded thing,” McChrystal responded. “The Rus-

longer in office. And just before Friday’s birthday party, Bowles told the Board of Governors of his intention to approve additional tuition increases of up to $750 a year as set by each campus for its own use. All this was authorized by the legislature. The state’s dire financial situation explains, in part, the actions of the legislature, Bowles, and the campuses. But it does not justify what may be that final nail in the coffin of a policy that served North Carolina so well for so long. Reacting to these tuition increases, Friday told the News & Observer, with his usual grace and diplomacy, “The strength of this place has been that every child in North Carolina could dream of going to one of these institutions, if they did their work. Now, the cost is eroding that dramatically.” If he were not so gracious and careful with his words, he might have told President Bowles, “I thank you for coming, but I wish you had brought a different birthday present.” • • • D.G.

Spend a little; the economy could use it

BY BONNIE WILLIAMS Scripps Howard News Service

onsumer confidence is a selffulfilling prophecy. When times are bad, consumers don’t spend. Yet for consumers to forgo spending — and for employers to forgo hiring when help is needed — creates a cycle of economic uncertainty that no expert, government agency or program can properly address. One feeds off of the other. When we spend, we spur the economy. When we don’t, we help keep the economy stagnant. When businesses that have laid off workers fail to rehire those workers, even when business picks up, they, too, add to overall economic woes. Yet when we spend what we cannot afford, each of us creates an economic morass of our own. And that leads to — you guessed it — even less consumer confidence. The latest figures show that retail sales fell in June for the second straight month, which suggests that the recovery is not exactly roaring. We can understand the reluctance, both of people to spend and businesses to invest. But until consumers and employers are ready to start taking chances on recovery, recovery will remain out of reach for many Americans. We don’t have to make huge gestures. Small ones will do for a start. Keep it simple: Go to a movie, go out to eat. Shop the sales and pick up a pair of slacks or a shirt. Many retailers have tremendous bargains this time of year, just before they start to stock back-to-school items. We’re all worried about the economy and we want someone to take charge and make it all better. But there is no one better than consumers to get this country back to work and back to normal — or what passes for normal these days. Consumer spending (including health care) makes up 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. Playwright Thornton Wilder’s words for one of his characters in “The Matchmaker” always struck us as a simple, yet profound philosophy: “Money, pardon the expression, is like manure. It’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around, encouraging young things to grow.” As best you can, in your own small way, spread it around. • • • Bonnie Williams is the editorial page editor of the Independent-Mail in Anderson, S.C.

Gen. David Petraeus sees progress in Afghanistan, but not necessarily measured in military terms. sians killed 1 million Afghans, and that didn’t work.” “I'm not saying go out and kill everybody, sir,” the soldier responded. “You say we’ve stopped the momentum of the insurgency. I don’t believe that’s true in this area. The more we pull back, the more we restrain ourselves, the stronger it’s getting.” Put aside the fact that American leaders in Afghanistan are unironically using the phrase “hearts and minds” — the very words used to describe the folly of U.S. policy in the Vietnam era. Does the American public want to continue a war in which Americans die because they’re not allowed to fight back when attacked, all for the purpose of increasing school attendance, child immunization and cell-phone use? President Obama’s deadline to begin withdrawing U.S. troops in July 2011 was a topic of much discussion at the Petraeus hearing. There’s disagreement in the Senate over the timeline, but the public’s opinion is clear. A recent Gallup survey found that 58 percent of those questioned support Obama’s timetable, versus 38 percent who oppose. Of those opposed, 7 percent say they’re against the timetable because withdrawal starts too late. Add them to the 58 percent who support withdrawal as scheduled, and you have 65 percent of Americans who want a withdrawal that begins no later than July of next year. Given the dreary assessments we’ve heard from Petraeus and McChrystal, it’s unlikely any great victories in Afghanistan will change those opinions. This is not a blame-Obama issue. The first seven years of the war were not his doing. But the decision to leave or stay in Afghanistan is his to make. Near the end of the Rolling Stone article, one of McChrystal’s top aides, Maj. Gen. Bill Mayville, gave a bleak forecast of the war’s end. “It’s not going to look like a win, smell like a win or taste like a win,” Mayville said. “This is going to end in an argument.” If that’s the case, why not just get out and start the argument now? • • • Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner.

Unemployment benefits extension clears Senate GOP hurdle WASHINGTON (AP) — Legislation to restore unemployment benefits to millions who have been out of work for more than six months broke free of Senate Republican delaying tactics on Tuesday. Senators voted 60-40 to move ahead on the bill, clearing the way for a final Senate vote later on Tuesday. The measure would restore jobless checks for 2.5 million people whose benefits started running out seven weeks ago in a stubbornly jobless economic recovery. The vote was a modest victory for President Barack Obama and Democrats, whose more ambitious hopes for a jobs agenda have mostly fizzled in the face of GOP opposition in the Senate. A battle has raged for months over whether jobless benefits should be financed with additional federal debt as Democrats want or through cuts to other government programs as most Republicans insist. The vote came moments after Carte Goodwin was sworn in as a successor to West Virginia Democrat Robert Byrd, who died last month at the age of 92. Goodwin was the crucial 60th senator to defeat a Republican filibuster that has led to a lapse in benefits for 2.5 million people. The Senate gallery was packed with Goodwin supporters, who broke into applause as he cast his “aye” vote. Two Republicans, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, voted to end the filibuster. Ben Nelson of Nebraska was the lone Democrat to break with his party and vote to sustain it. After a final Senate vote, the House is expected to approve the legislation and send it to President Barack Obama on Wednesday.

Committee approves Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court WASHINGTON (AP) — Pushing toward an electionyear Supreme Court confirmation vote, a polarized Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday approved Elena Kagan to be the fourth female justice. Just one Republican joined Democrats to approve Kagan’s nomination and send it to the full Senate, where she’s expected to win confirmation within weeks. “Elena Kagan will be confirmed,” predicted Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the Judiciary chairman. “She will go on the U.S. Supreme Court.” Sen. Lindsey Graham, RS.C., broke with his party to cast the sole GOP “yes” vote on President Obama’s nominee to succeed Justice John Paul Stevens, who retired in June. The vote was 13-6. “What’s in Elena Kagan’s heart is that of a good person who adopts a philosophy I disagree with,” Graham said. “She will serve this nation honorably, and it would not have been someone I would have chosen, but the person who did choose, President Obama, I think chose wisely.” At the White House, Obama hailed the vote as a “bipartisan affirmation of her strong performance” in confirmation hearings, and said Kagan would be “a fair and impartial” justice who understands the impact of Supreme Court decisions on everyday people’s lives.

Obama, Cameron condemn Lockerbie bomber release WASHINGTON (AP) — British Prime Minister David Cameron on Tuesday turned aside U.S. calls for an investigation into the release of the Lockerbie bomber by Scotland and said there was no indication that oil giant BP had swayed the controversial decision. Both Cameron and President Barack Obama, who met with him at the White House, condemned the release of Libyan bomber Abdel Baset alMegrahi from a Scottish prison. Still, Cameron said the release was not the doing of the British government nor, apparently, the result of any lobbying by BP, Britain’s largest company, to win oil concessions from Libya. Rather it was a decision by the government of Scotland on compassionate grounds, he said. “It was the biggest mass murder in British history, and there was no business letting

him out of prison,” Cameron said. Said Obama: “I think all of us here in the United States were surprised, disappointed and angry.”

USDA worker says White House caved and forced her out WASHINGTON (AP) — A black employee who resigned from the Agriculture Department over comments at a Georgia NAACP meeting said Tuesday the White House forced her out of her job over a manufactured racial controversy. Shirley Sherrod, who until Tuesday was USDA’s director of rural development in Georgia, said she was on the road Monday when USDA deputy undersecretary Cheryl Cook called her and told her the White House wanted her to resign. “They called me twice,” Sherrod told the Associated Press in an interview. “The last time they asked me to pull over the side of the road and submit my resignation on my Blackberry, and that’s what I did.” A USDA spokesman would not comment on whether the White House was involved, but Secretary Tom Vilsack issued a statement saying the agency has no tolerance for discrimination. The NAACP, meanwhile, appeared to be reconsidering its response to Sherrod. The civil rights group initially condemned the employee’s comments, but officials said Tuesday that it is conducting a more thorough review. The controversy began Monday when the conservative website biggovernment. com posted a two-minute, 38-second video clip of Sherrod’s remarks to a local NAACP banquet.

Lesbian teen accepts settlement in prom date case JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A rural school district that canceled its prom rather than allow a lesbian student to attend with her girlfriend has agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a discrimination lawsuit the ACLU filed on her behalf. The district also agreed to follow a non-discrimination policy as part of the settlement, though it argues such a policy was already in place. Constance McMillen, 18, said the victory came at the price of her being shunned in her small hometown of Fulton. “I knew it was a good cause, but sometimes it really got to me. I knew it would change things for others in the future and I kept going and I kept pushing,” McMillen said in an interview Tuesday. The flap started in March when McMillen challenged the Itawamba County School District’s rules banning prom dates of the same gender and allowing only male students to wear tuxedos. The district responded by canceling its prom, prompting the ACLU to file suit claiming the teen’s rights had been violated and demanding the prom be reinstated.

Tenn. pit bull attacks leave elderly man dead MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities in Tennessee say two pit bull attacks left an elderly man dead and three people injured with dog bites, including two emergency workers. Memphis Fire Department crews responded to the attack around noon Tuesday in a neighborhood near Memphis’ downtown. Fire Battalion Chief Keith Staples says the 71-year-old man was in cardiac arrest after two pit bulls attacked him, suffering from severe dog bites. He died at a hospital, and it wasn’t immediately known how he died. Staples says a 25-year-old woman also was bitten. She was in critical condition. A paramedic and a fire lieutenant also were bitten. Both were bitten on the leg, and another had bites on his abdomen. All were attacked by the same two dogs, which have been captured.

Fox News Channel’s Beck diagnosed with eye disease NEW YORK (AP) — Fox

News Channel’s Glenn Beck says he’s been diagnosed with an eye disease that could eventually blind him. The conservative commentator told an audience attending his “American Revival” tour over the weekend in Salt Lake City that a doctor told him he has the degenerative disease macular dystrophy. Beck says he went to a doctor for testing because he had trouble focusing with his eyes. “He said, `You have macular dystrophy. ... You could go blind in the next year. Or, you might not.” Beck said he replied: “Did you just charge me a thousand dollars for knowing what I knew my whole life?” The disease generally makes itself known by a decrease in vision in 20- to 40year-olds. Beck is 46. The WebMD website says eyesight deteriorates as the disease progresses.

Russian prosecutors investigate parasailing donkey stunt MOSCOW (AP) — Authorities in Russia are opening an animal cruelty probe into a weekend stunt on a beach in southern Russia in which a donkey parasailed high over the surf. Amateur video footage showed men attaching a parasail harness to the trembling mule. The English-language Kremlin news channel Russia Today reported that sunbathers were distressed at the sight of the flying donkey, which brayed in fear as it glided above the bay for half an hour. Russia Today reported the donkey was shell-shocked but survived. Reports said the donkey flight was a promotional stunt. Employees of a leisure firm in the village of Golubitskaya on the Azov Sea could face two years in prison if they are charged and convicted of animal cruelty.

Girl missing after flooding near Flagstaff, Ariz. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities are searching for a 12-year-old girl reported missing after thunderstorms sent floodwaters rushing through a pair of subdivisions north of Flagstaff, Ariz. Coconino County sheriff’s officials say the girl is believed to have been washed down a culvert off of U.S. 89. Search and rescue teams are looking for her, along with an Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter. The girl’s name wasn’t released. The National Weather Service says more than 2 inches of rain fell in areas of Flagstaff that were charred last month by a 15,000-acre wildfire. The resulting floodwaters forced dozens of residents to flee their homes Tuesday afternoon. County emergency officials sent word to 900 residents, urging them to seek higher ground. It’s not immediately known how many residents evacuated. The sheriff’s office says a shelter is being set up at an elementary school.

Judge may toss part of Idaho Boy Scout abuse suit BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A federal judge says he’s inclined to dismiss many of the claims from a man who says the Mormon church didn’t do enough to stop a Boy Scout leader from sexually abusing children. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter said in a tentative ruling Tuesday that he would probably dismiss most of the man’s lawsuit against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. But Carter also said he may allow a fraud claim to move forward. The man, identified in the lawsuit only as Tom Doe, and his attorney, Kelly Clark, filed the lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America, the Boy Scouts Ore-Ida Council and the LDS Church in 2008. They allege the leader of Doe’s Nampa, Idaho, Boy Scout troop sexually abused him in the late 1960s. The lawsuit says the troop was jointly operated by the Boy Scouts and the church.

republican gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel and her husband, Steve, leave a polling spot after voting tuesday in roswell, Ga.

Tough fight in Ga. for open governor’s seat ATLANTA (AP) — Dueling endorsements from Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich could help decide a crowded Republican primary for Georgia governor Tuesday. Palin’s nod to former Secretary of State Karen Handel has helped her surge to the top of the polls in recent days, while ex-congressman Nathan Deal could benefit from the backing of Gingrich. The two served together in the U.S. House. On the Democratic side, one-term former Gov. Roy Barnes is facing the first electoral test in his comeback bid. Barnes was ousted in 2002 by Republican Sonny Perdue, his defeat fueled by teachers angry with his education reforms and others upset over his successful push to remove the Confederate battle symbol from the state’s flag. Seven Democrats and seven Republicans are vying for the open seat. Perdue is prevented by term limits from running again after two terms. Palin’s endorsement of Handel — the lone woman in the race who could become the state’s first female governor — swiftly helped change the dynamic. Handel had been attacked throughout the campaign as too liberal. Palin’s backing — she called the former secretary of state a “pro-

life, pro-Constitutionalist with a can-do attitude” — was seen as a conservative seal of approval. Handel had the lead in a new poll released Sunday. Handel is just one of several candidates around the country recently endorsed by Palin, John McCain’s running mate during the 2008 presidential campaign. Palin is largely credited with helping South Carolina Rep. Nikki Haley, once little-known in her state, surge to popularity and ultimately a runoff win for the GOP nomination for governor. The day after Palin posted her Handel endorsement on Facebook and Twitter, Gingrich threw his support behind Deal. State Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine is also in the running for the GOP nod and has been the Republican money leader throughout the campaign. The Republican race is widely expected to head to an Aug. 10 runoff, which would be required if none of the candidates wins more than 50 percent of the vote. Barnes is the front-runner in the Democratic contest. His most formidable challenger is Attorney General Thurbert Baker, who has the backing of former President Bill Clinton and is seeking to become Georgia’s first black governor.

Barnes announced last spring that he would make another bid for the governor’s mansion. He ran a folksy but focused primary campaign attacking ruling Republicans in the state for neglecting big problems, like education and transportation, amid the crippling recession. Georgia voters will also select a Democrat to run against Republican U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, who doesn’t have a GOP opponent in his bid for a second term and has $5 million on hand for his campaign. In north Georgia, Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Graves could face yet another runoff after winning a special election runoff in June for the seat once held by Deal. Deal left Congress to run for governor, and now Graves is seeking a full two-year term. His leading opponent is former state Sen. Lee Hawkins, whom he defeated in June’s runoff. There are five Republicans in the race, which could make a runoff necessary. Elsewhere, three Democratic congressmen are facing opposition in the primary — U.S. Reps. Hank Johnson, David Scott and John Barrow. Eight GOP contenders are vying to replace Republican Rep. John Linder, who is retiring after nine terms.

Uncle: Mom accused in kids’ strangling depressed IRVING, Texas (AP) — A Dallas-area mother suspected of strangling a 5-year-old son who died and a 2-year-old daughter who was on life support Tuesday had been depressed, according to a relative. Saiqa Akhter, 30, remained in jail on Tuesday as police prepared a charge of capital murder. Irving police spokesman David Tull said she was expected to be arraigned today. Tull said she has been cooperating with the investigation. “It looks like she had mental problems. I don’t understand why she did it,” Wasimul Haque, an uncle of Akhter, told The Dallas Morning News. Irving police have said Akhter called 911 on Monday and said she had done “something terrible” to her children.” Her son, Zain Akhter, was later pronounced dead. The Dallas County Medical Examiners Office said Tuesday that his death has been ruled a homicide by strangulation. Haque said the daughter, Faryaal Akhter, was on life support and was not expected to live. The mother was the only adult in the apartment at the time, police said. When she called 911, Akhter said that she had used a wire on her children’s necks and both had turned blue, according to an affidavit for a search and arrest warrant released by police Tuesday. It said police found the children in a bedroom. “It is very, very tragic,” Haque said. “We are in the deep sadness.”

been really concerned about their daughter and so they just hadn’t been thinking but they were adamant that it wouldn’t happen again.” She said neither child showed any signs of neglect or abuse. “They were in very good condition,” she said. “Everyone else that we spoke to about the family indicated that they had no concerns at all about the care of the children.” ASSociAted preSS

Saiqa Akhter Haque said his niece had been depressed since the family moved into a new apartment in Irving. He said the children’s father, Rashid Akhter, is “totally broken” and is so distraught that he’s been unable to talk. Haque said Zain had autism and a severe speech impediment, but had been improving and was in speech therapy. The family is trying to get Saiqa Akhter an attorney, Haque said. Haque did not immediately return a message Tuesday from the Associated Press. Saiqa Akhter and her husband had contact with Child Protective Services in May 2009 after leaving the boy home alone when they took the girl to the hospital with respiratory problems. “They admitted to it and they said they understand why it was dangerous to leave a child that young at home by themselves,” CPS spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said. “They said they had

Police: Alleged freeway shooter was targeting ACLU OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Police say a California man arrested after a freeway shootout with authorities was planning to attack people at the American Civil Liberties Union and another nonprofit group. Oakland police Officer Jeff Thomason says Byron Williams was upset with the ACLU and Tides Foundation for their political views. Williams told investigators he was on his way to San Francisco late Saturday when California Highway Patrol officers pulled him over on Interstate 580. Authorities say Williams, wearing a bulletproof vest and armed with three guns, opened fire. He was arraigned Tuesday on four counts of attempted murder, plus weapons enhancements. He was released from the hospital earlier in the day after being treated for injuries from the shootout. No CHP officers were seriously injured.

Gulf oil spill chief says the capped well is holding up NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The government’s oil spill chief tried to tamp down fears Tuesday that BP’s capped well is buckling under the pressure, saying that seepage detected along the sea floor less than two miles away is coming from an older well no longer in production. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen also said at least five leaks have been discovered around the well machinery, but he dismissed them as “very small drips” — “not unlike an oil leak you might have in your car.” Over the past few days, since a 75-ton cap was placed over the mile-deep well to keep the oil bottled up inside, BP and government engineers have been watching closely to see whether the well would hold tight or show signs of rupturing under the pressure. A rupture could cause a bigger and harder-tocontrol disaster. Allen has granted BP re-

peated 24-hour extensions to keep the cap in place, as long as the company monitors the well scrupulously. Meanwhile, the end game in the three-month crisis appeared to be drawing closer, with BP vice president Kent Wells saying the drilling of the relief well — necessary to permanently plug up the well — is on track. He said crews hope to drill sideways into the blown-out well and intercept it at the end of July. At that point, they will begin the kill procedure — pumping mud and cement into the hole deep underground to seal it up once and for all. BP said that stage could take anywhere from five days to a couple of weeks. “Everything’s looking good,” Wells said. “The relief well is exactly where we want it. It’s pointed in the right direction, and so we’re feeling good about that.” BP wants to leave the cap on in the meantime. At one

point, Allen wanted instead to relieve the pressure by opening up the cap and siphoning oil up to ships on the surface, but he has relented in the past few days. Opening up the cap would have required allowing millions of gallons to gush into the sea again for a few days while the plumbing was hooked up. In the meantime, engineers are considering shooting drilling mud down through the cap to increase the chances that the attempt to kill the well deep underground will succeed. The seepage detected from the sea floor briefly

raised fears that the well was in danger. But Allen said another well is to blame. The seepage is closer to the older well than to the one that blew out, Allen said. Also, he said, “it’s not unusual to have seepage around the old wells.” There are two wells within two miles of BP’s blowout off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. One has been abandoned and another is not in production. Around 27,000 abandoned wells in the Gulf aren’t checked for leaks, an Associated Press investigation showed this month. The BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig exploded April

20, killing 11 workers and touching off one of America’s worst environmental crises. The well has spewed somewhere between 94 million and 184 million gallons into the Gulf. BP said the cost of dealing with the spill has now reached nearly $4 billion. In other spill-related developments Tuesday: • BP said it is selling some oil fields and other major holdings in the U.S., Canada and Egypt to Apache Corp. for $7 billion to help cover the costs of the oil spill. Some or all of the proceeds will go toward a $20 billion victims compensation fund that BP

(AP) — Tens of thousands of gray wolves would be returned to the woods of New England, the mountains of California, the wide open Great Plains and the desert West under a scientific petition filed Tuesday with the federal government. The predators were poisoned and trapped to near-extermination in the United States last century, but have since clawed their way back to some of the most remote wilderness in the lower 48 states. That recovery was boosted in the 1990s by the reintroduction of 66 wolves in Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. Yet as those first packs have flourished, increased livestock killings and declining big game herds have drawn sharp backlash from ranchers, hunters and officials in the Northern Rockies. But biologists with the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity want to expand that recovery across the country. A few isolated pockets of wolves, they say, are not enough. “If the gray wolf is listed as endangered, it should be recovered in all significant portions of its range, not just fragments,” said Michael Robinson, one of the petition’s authors. He said the animals occupy just 5 percent of their historic range in the lower 48 states. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Chris Tollefson, whose agency received the petition, said an internal review was under way to figure out where wolves once lived and where they might be returned. “We need to look at what is realistic and where the suitable habitat would be,” Tollefson said. The review will be completed by late 2010 or early 2011 and will contain recommendations but no final decision on whether to create new wolf populations, Tollefson said. About 6,000 wolves live in the U.S. outside Alaska, with most of those in the Great Lakes and Northern Rockies, with only a few dozen in Arizona and New Mexico. They are listed as endangered except in Alaska, Idaho and Montana. In early 2008, a petition similar to the one filed Tuesday was lodged by the Natural Resources Defense Council. It was later rejected by the Fish and Wildlife Service, which said the Great Lakes and Northern Rockies programs had succeeded and any additional recovery efforts would be “discretionary.” Like the Bush administration, the Obama administration has pushed to end federal protections for wolves and return control over the animals to the states. But both administrations have been rebuffed in the courts. Federal judges have ruled repeatedly that the government failed to prove existing wolf numbers will ensure the population’s long-term survival. Last year, the Interior Department relented to pressure from environmentalists in the

Great Lakes. The agency agreed to put wolves back on the endangered list at least temporarily — just months after they had been removed for the second time in recent years. Wolves are notorious predators with a hunger for livestock, and experts say they could survive in most of the country if they were allowed. Young adult wolves sometimes travel hundreds of miles when looking to establish a new territory. In the last several years, packs have gained a toehold in parts of Oregon and Washington. Others have been spotted in Colorado, Utah and northern New England. But with wolves, more than just biology is at play. Politics serves the deciding role in where wolves are allowed, said David Mech, a wolf expert and senior scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey. “In the areas where they are not acceptable, they will be killed out — illegally if nothing else, Mech said. In the Northern Rockies, the 1995 reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone National Park The Northern Rockies population has stirred the most rancor, largely because of sheep and cattle killings and wolves preying on big game herds that had swelled when the predators were absent. Idaho and Montana initiated public wolf hunts last year, and both intend to increase their quotas on the animals this fall. The states want to put a dent in the animal’s population growth rate, which has been as high as 30 percent annually. Wyoming, which has about 525 wolves, was blocked in its efforts to start a hunt after federal officials said state law was too hostile to wolves to ensure their survival. That ruling has been challenged in federal court. Wyoming House Speaker Colin Simpson said Tuesday it should serve as a warning for other states that are asked to take wolves. “Be careful,” Simpson said. “We don’t need more of that in the West.”

Oakland to consider licensing large pot farms SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Oakland City Council is considering a plan to license four production facilities where medical marijuana would be grown, packaged and processed. The move would make Oakland the first city in the nation to license wholesale pot cultivation. City leaders are expected to vote Tuesday. If the measure passes, it would still need to be approved on a second, final vote. Supporters of the measure say it could generate millions of dollars for Oakland in taxes and sales, create hundreds of jobs and position Oakland to reap dividends if voters pass a November initiative to legalize recreational use of marijuana. Opponents say it would drive small growers out of business.

Rowan’s season ends BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

KERNERSVILLE — Wesley Barker cleared the Kernersville 12 left-field fence, Rowan 7 Andy Austin cleared the rightfield fence, and Noah Holmes cleared both fences, but Rowan County ran into a hurdle it just couldn’t clear on Tuesday night. “Kernersville just kept hitting,” said Barker, Rowan’s catcher. “They had 19 hits. That about says it all.” Rowan out-homered Kernersville 4-1, but the home team found a dozen

different ways to score at East Forsyth High, including a pivotal, two-run single on a ball lost in the lights. Post 36 ended Rowan’s season with an ugly 12-7 victory. “I told (Kernersville coach) Chad Loflin that they cheated in Game 3 by hitting balls on the ground that we couldn’t field and tonight we couldn’t field the balls they hit in the air,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “Just seems like when we’re bad, we’re bad. And when we have one thing go bad, we seem to have about 12 things go bad.” Kernersville, Rowan’s nemesis throughout the 1990s, lost the series

Rowan in Game 4s at home behind right-handed pitcher Kevin Parrish, a rising sophomore at Catawba. “Rowan’s place is no doubt a tough place to play, and tonight their fans tried very hard to made this a home game for them,” Loflin said. “I’m happy we found a way to win it. The big thing was Game 3. We had to win one odd game on the road.” Most seasons, Rowan (30-13) still would be joining Kernersville in the state tournament, but Area III club Randolph County is the host team and an automatic entry. That means an early vacation for Rowan coaches, players and fans.

Last season’s run to the World Series couldn’t be duplicated by a team that got went from thin to thinner on the mound when Parker Gobbel (16-0 between Legion and high school) came down with a tender right arm. Gobbel would’ve started Game 4 normally, but he was reduced to contributing as a pinch-runner. Appropriately, Cody Laws, one of the heroes of the summer of 2009, started on the mound for Rowan, but he was knocked out in the third as Kernersville built a 4-0 lead. Holmes led off the Rowan fourth

EAST-WEST WEEK

BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News

For the most part this year, the quality of racing on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit has been outstanding. It can only be so good on cookie-cutter tracks such as Chicago, and red flag incidents (as well as inclement weather) can throw a glitch into the proceedings, but all in all it’s been a fun ride. CEO Brian France, however, realizes his sport still has a problem. There aren’t as many folks in the stands, which he can chalk up to the economy. But TV ratings remain down, which means Cup has lost some fans over the years — and they haven’t returned. France wants them back and the sport needs them back. And while these aren’t exactly desperate times in motorsports, France has hinted that NASCAR could be considering desperate measures in tweaking the Chase. “We’re looking at it pretty carefully,” France said. “The main reason is we want to make sure it’s giving us the biggest impact moments it was designed to do. That means, it is over a 10-race schedule in itself. Everything to us means pushing the winning envelope to mean what it needs to mean in our sport.” Understand? Nah, me either. When the Chase was first introduced, it was pretty radical — with 10 races to go just 10 drivers would have a shot at the championship. Aside from that, the top 10 saw their points readjusted to tighten the pack. As the Chase has evolved about the only major change has been the addition of two more drivers to the playoffs. France acknowledges that racing is vastly different than stick-and-ball sports, but

Titles have West All-Stars confident Some thoughts on East-West All-Star Week ... REENSBORO — When you finish your high school football career with 30 straight victories and two state championships, it’s an easy thing to walk into a room of strangers and be the most confident player there. That’s the impression West Rowan’s Eli Goodson and Timmy Pangburn gave off once they joined their West teammates last Thursday in preparation for tonight’s East-West All-Star game at Jamieson Stadium in Greensboro. Game time is 8 p.m. West head coach Jim Ruark, who will begin his first season at RONNIE East Burke this fall after seven at GALLAGHER Myers Park, was certainly impressed with Goodson, a noseguard, and Pangburn, an offensive lineman.

“They’re obviously good and very well-coached,” Ruark said. “They’ve been great so far.” And did we say confident? “I always felt I would make the East-West All-Star game,” said Goodson, the North Piedmont Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 2009. He PANGBURN will play for North Carolina Central as a walk-on. “I thought I’d make this if I didn’t make the Shrine Bowl,” added the 300-pound Pangburn, a two-time all-state performer who is headed for Catawba. In fact, there are several players on the West squad coming off state titles. “It sort of goes hand in hand — state championships and good players,” Ruark said. “At the same time, you’re still evaluating every individual player. That was a real process. We evaluat-

ed over 150 kids.” Among them were two other area stars: Davie safety Zach Long and A.L. Brown’s Tavis Bailey, an offensive lineman. “It has been an experience,” Ruark said. “Not only do you have a whole coaching staff that has different terminology but all LONG these players come with different terminology.” • Ruark’s staff wasted little time in getting the players on the field. Long said he was expecting just helmets on Day 1. He was surprised. “We came out in full pads in 90-some-degrees,” Long smiled. “That was a big change.”

Count on Favre returning BY JUDD ZULGAD

CHICAGO — After all those dirt-kicking, base-tossing tantrums, Lou Piniella is going out with more of a whimper. This isn’t the way he envisioned his final days as the Chicago Cubs’ manager. The team had bigger plans, too. Piniella announced Tuesday he will retire at the end of the season, completing a storied and often colorful career that included 18 years in the

majors as a player and another 22 as a manager. The 66-year-old Piniella, who made five trips to the World Series in his career and has three championship rings, said he was looking forward to spending more time with his family. He didn’t rule out consulting for the Cubs or another team, but made it clear he was getting out of the daily grind. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” he said. “There’s no way that I won’t cherish the memories here.” But, he added: “I’ve been

As Brett Favre stood at the podium in the Louisiana Superdome late on the evening of Jan. 24, he refused to make any promises about returning for a 20th NFL season. The Minnesota Vikings had just suffered a 31-28 overtime loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game, and the battered quarterback did not want to make any promises he wouldn’t keep. He did, however, provide one nugget of information. “I wouldn’t say (it will take) months,” Favre said when asked for a timetable on his decision. “I know people are rolling their eyes or will roll their eyes.”

Turns out they again have good reason for doing so. Nearly six months later and two weeks before the Vikings open training camp, Favre still hasn’t said whether he will return — and from all appearances, he isn’t close to making an announcement. FAVRE Raise your hand if you’re surprised. Favre’s wavering has become part of his legend and marketability. The Packers eventually tired of this dance and moved on with Aaron Rodgers, but the Vikings are willing to wait and bank on the belief

The NFL notebook ... CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers have signed wide receiver Brandon LaFell, leaving quarterback Jimmy Clausen as the team’s only unsigned draft pick. LaFell is a wide receiver chosen 78th overall by the Panthers. He finished his career at LSU ranked third in catches with 175 for 2,517 yards and 25 touchdowns. JETS NEW YORK — Joe Namath and Curtis Martin are among six Jets greats in the first class of the team’s Ring of Honor at its new stadium.

Cavs fans dumping LeBron James gear Associated Press

CLEVELAND — They’re taking the jerseys off their backs for LeBron James. Then tossing them away — for a good cause. Stung by the NBA superstar’s decision to leave Cleveland and play for Miami, Cavaliers fans have been unloading their unwanted No. 23 jerseys, T-shirts and other clothing items bearing James’ name at locations around the city. Organizers are shipping the discarded James gear to homeless shelters in South Florida. “It’s like any breakup,” said Beau Miller, who began the campaign with three friends. “You want to give all your stuff back.” For the past week, Cleveland fans have been dropping off their LeBron-related items at Yours Truly Restaurants in Northeast Ohio. Miller said he and his friends wanted to turn a negative situation into a positive and that the response has been “extraordinary.” “We wanted something good to come out of this,” he said. “We didn’t want another ’I hate LeBron campaign.’ There’s enough of that going around.” Doug Libelich, manager of the Yours Truly location in Shaker Heights, Ohio, said there has been a steady flow of fans — mostly young ones — ridding themselves of LeBron-related clothing, including the iconic 23 jerseys, which were wildly popular during James’ seven seasons with the Cavaliers. “It’s been picking up in the last few days,” he said. “All kinds of stuff.” James’ messy separation with Cleveland has caused a negative backlash against the 25-year-old, who announced his decision to leave the Cavs as a free agent during a one-hour TV special on July 8. Following his announcement, some fans burned James’ jersey in protest. While appreciating the pain James caused Cleveland fans, Miller, along with friends Chris Jungjohann, Andrew De Crane and Tim Zeller, saw his departure as an opportunity to help those less fortunate. Along with donating the clothing, the group began breakupwithlebron.com, where they are selling T-shirts with the slogan “It’s Not Us, It’s You,” on the front. Proceeds from the $15 shirts are going to the Cleveland City Mission.

MORE NBA HOUSTON — Brad Miller signed with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday, reuniting the 7-foot center with his favorite coach in Rick Adelman. Miller signed a threeyear, $15 million contract to back up Yao Ming, who is expected to be ready for next season after sitting out a year to recover from foot surgery. • MIAMI (AP) — After 14 years, Pat Riley finally has Juwan Howard. Howard joined the Miami Heat on Tuesday, signing a deal that won’t raise the ire of NBA officials — unlike his first agreement with Riley. In July 1996, Howard signed a $100 million, sevenyear contract with Miami that was ultimately voided by the league because the Heat had gone over the salary cap.

ninth team for Howard, who will begin his 17th NBA season this fall. He appeared in 73 games with Portland last season and averaged 6.0 points, making 27 starts. • LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers center Andrew Bynum has postponed his knee surgery. Lakers spokesman John Black said Tuesday that Bynum pushed back the date of his surgery to correct a meniscus tear in his right knee to July 28.

TOUR de FRANCE PAU, France — In his final days of his final Tour de France, Lance Armstrong showed some of the old fire. The seven-time champion, knowing full well he no longer stands above all others in his sport, fought from beginning to end in the hopes of going out with a stage victory high in the Pyrenees. It was not to be. Armstrong finished sixth after breaking away early in the 16th stage and holding his own through four major climbs of the Tour’s most demanding leg. But he lost in a final sprint, with Frenchman Pierrick Fedrigo winning the 124-mile ride.

NASCAR MIAMI — NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and his wife Connie have welcomed their third child. Montoya announced the arrival of daughter Manuela on Monday through his Twitter account. Manuela joins brother Sebastian and sister Paulina. The 34-year-old Colombian said both mother and baby are doing great. NASCAR is in the midst of a baby boom this season: Jimmie Johnson, Carl Edwards and Elliott Sadler all became first-time fathers this year, and Jeff Gordon and his wife are expecting later this year.

SOFTBALL OKLAHOMA CITY — Olympic gold medalist Jennie Finch plans to retire next month and bring an end to a 10-year career in which she helped the sport blossom in the United States. The dominating pitcher will play her final games with the U.S. national team this week at the World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City. She’ll then finish the rest of the National Pro Fastpitch season with the Chicago Bandits before calling it quits at the age of 29. The 6-foot-2 Finch recently helped the U.S. win its seventh straight world championship.

Diaz, Jurrjens lead Braves Associated Press

The Major League roundup ... ATLANTA — Matt Diaz homered in his third straight game, Jair Jurrjens gave up only one run in seven innings, and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Diego Padres 4-1 on Tuesday night in a matchup of first-place teams. Diaz drove in three runs with a tworun homer in the fourth and a run-scoring single in the seventh. He has three homers and eight RBIs in his last three games. Jason Heyward had three hits, including two doubles, and drove in a run as the Braves expanded a 2-1 lead in the seventh. Jurrjens (3-3) gave up only two hits over his last five innings. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect ninth for his 22nd save. The Braves began the day 51⁄2 games ahead of second-place New York in the NL East. The Braves (55-38) passed the NL West-leading Padres (54-38) for the best record in the National League. Pirates 11, Brewers 9 PITTSBURGH — Pedro Alvarez hit a grand slam in Pittsburgh’s nine-run first and a solo drive in the second for his first career multihomer game, helping the Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers. Fellow rookie Neil Walker had a career-high five hits for the Pirates, who got 3 2-3 scoreless innings from four relievers after the Brewers got within one. Cardinals 7, Phillies 1 ST. LOUIS — Chris Carpenter worked eight dominant innings and the St. Louis Cardinals got home runs from Randy Winn and Matt Holliday, winning their seventh in a row with a 7-1 victory over the slumping Philadelphia Phillies. Phillies 47-year-old starter Jamie Moyer strained his elbow and lasted only one inning. The Phillies have lost five of six since the All-Star break Rockies 10, Marlins 0 MIAMI — Melvin Mora drove in five runs and Jeff Francis pitched seven crisp innings to lead Colorado to the victory.

SOCCER PARIS — A French judge issued preliminary charges Tuesday against soccer stars Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema for soliciting an underage prostitute — the latest setback for a national team that returned from the World Cup in disgrace and disarray. Real Madrid striker Benzema and Bayern Munich forward Ribery could face up to three years in prison and a euro45,000 ($60,000) fine if convicted of paying to have sex with a minor. They are among the most famous soccer players in France.

NASCAR FroM 1B somehow he wants NASCAR to be able to emulate the drama provided by those sports in the postseason. “It’s different because there’s 43 teams, not one or two, two or three, some tournament thing here,” he said. “So we can’t have a winnertake-all, per se, like some of the other playoff systems.” So, then, what kinds of changes are being considered? France isn’t saying, and isn’t providing very good hints, either. “We like a playoff-style format

AMERICAN LEAGUE NEW YORK — Hideki Matsui, Maicer Izturis and Mike Napoli hit two-run homers to back a crisp effort from spot starter Sean O’Sullivan, and Los Angeles beat New York 10-2 on Tuesday night. Called up from Triple-A Salt Lake earlier Tuesday, the right-hander retired 12 in a row after giving up two runs in the first inning. Phil Hughes (11-3), making his first start since getting the loss in the All-Star game at Anaheim last Tuesday, gave up a season-high six runs. Rangers 8, Tigers 0 DETROIT — Tommy Hunter pitched seven scoreless innings, and Josh Hamilton and Ian Kinsler homered for Texas. The AL West-leading Rangers are 5-1 since the All-Star break. Indians 4, Twins 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Travis Hafner had two hits and the go-ahead RBI in the eighth inning, and Justin Masterson allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 1-3 innings for Cleveland. Blue Jays 13, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th home run and drove in five runs to back Jesse Litsch, who picked up his first victory since 2008. The Blue Jays have won four of their past five games, while the Royals have lost seven of eight. Orioles 11, Rays 10 BALTIMORE — Baltimore’s Julio Lugo singled in the winning run in the 13th inning, and the teams combined for seven solo home runs. The Orioles trailed by four runs in the seventh and 10-9 in the 12th before rallying to end a four-game skid. B.J. Upton, Matt Joyce and Reid Brignac homered for the Rays, who lost for only the fifth time in 17 games.

Braves’ Venters appeals suspension

NHL RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to a one-year contract with defenseman Brett Carson. The 24-year-old Carson played 54 games with Carolina. He had two goals and 10 assists.

Cubs 14, Astros 7 CHICAGO — Aramis Ramirez hit three homers and drove in seven runs to help Chicago rally to beat the Houston Astros 14-7.

Associated Press

The baseball notebook ... ATLANTA — Atlanta Braves pitcher Jonny Venters’ appeal of his four-game suspension for throwing consecutive pitches at Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder will be heard on July 27 in Washington. Venters will remain eligible to play until the appeal. The Braves begin a three-game series at the Washington Nationals on the day of the appeal. Manager Bobby Cox served his onegame suspension in Tuesday night’s series opener against San Diego. OBAMA AND MLB BALTIMORE — First lady Michelle Obama showed off her throwing arm Tuesday after making a pitch to Major League Baseball to help her fight childhood obesity. She announced that MLB and the MLB Players Association will team with the White House in the Let’s Move campaign, which promotes exercise and healthy eating for America’s youth. “To the entire MLB Players Association and all 30 players who agreed to be part of the public service advertising campaigns, it just means so much to

for sure,” France said. “The big design is to have playoff-type moments that only can be, in any sport, created when there’s a lot on the line at any one moment, right? That’s what the essence of Game 7s, eliminations and all that are. “What we’re talking about is, you know, enhancing it in a way that will bring out more of the winning moments, the big moments that happen in sports. And if there’s a way we can do that, and there are a couple of ways, we’re going to give that a lot of weight.” What those ways are, only France seems to know. After five Chase races do you cut the field down to six drivers

these kids to see you guys joining in this,” Obama said at at Camden yards. PETTITTE ON DL NEW YORK — Andy Pettitte is in a hurry to return from a left groin strain, although the New York Yankees left-hander knows it’s not going to be a speedy recovery. “When I heard four to five (weeks) I was thinking, ’Oh gosh,”’ Pettitte said Tuesday before the Yankees played the Los Angeles Angels. “I hope it heals up quick. I don’t know if it’s realistic.” The 38-year-old All-Star was injured Sunday while throwing a pitch in the third inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. MANNY OUT LOS ANGELES — Manny Ramirez is back on the disabled list for the third time this season. The Los Angeles Dodgers slugger has a strained right calf. PADRES SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres extended manager Bud Black’s contract for three years through the 2013 season, with club options for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Black has had the surprising Padres in first place in the NL West since April 20.

and redistribute the points? Will only the top two drivers in the standings have a shot at the crown in the season finale at Homestead? Chances are the Chase will change once the 2010 season ends, and it’ll be interesting to see just how radical those changes will be. It’s a gamble, but at this point France is willing to roll the dice if there’s a chance it’ll bring fans back to the table — the table situated in front of the TV, anyway.

n Said to drive No. 83 MOORESVILLE — NASCAR road racing specialist Boris Said

will drive the No. 83 Toyota for Red Bull Racing when the Sprint Cup visits Watkins Glen on Aug. 8. Said has nine Cup starts at the winding circuit, finishing third there in 2005. Said will be the fifth driver to pilot the No. 83 for Red Bull this year. Primary driver Brian Vickers left the car earlier this season after developing blood clots in his leg and near his lungs. Reed Sorenson will drive the No. 83 this weekend at Indianapolis and at Pocono later this month. The 47-year-old Said has made five Cup starts this year for owner Bill Jenkins, his best finish an eighth-place effort at Sonoma.

with his homer to right, the first sign of resistance shown by the visitors, and that blast lit a spark. Then Rowan received a humongous break when Matt Miller reached base with two outs after striking out on a ball in the dirt when Kernersville catcher Alex Swim through wildly to first base. Will Sapp scored all the way from first on the throwing error, and Barker followed with a stunning, t w o - r u n SAPP homer, the first of his Legion career. That made it 4-4, but Rowan’s elation was short-lived. Nathan Becker (five RBIs) hit a solo homer off Rowan reliever Will Johnson (6-1) in the fifth to put Kernersville back on top 5-4, and it stayed ahead. Johnson was extremely unlucky in the sixth. He made quality pitches, but two routine flies, one that barely left the infield, became lost-in-thelights base hits for Corey McKinney and Becker. Kernersville gratefully pushed its advantage to 7-4. “They never saw the ball I hit, and I never saw it either after it left the bat,” McKinney said. “Just baseball. One of those strange things that happens.” Holmes pulled Rowan within 7-5 in the seventh with his second homer, but an ugly, five-run eighth that included five wild pitches, blew it open. Austin’s first Legion homer in the ninth gave Rowan fans one last reason to cheer, but it was too little and too late. “Kernersville showed a lot of heart to come back in this series,” Holmes said. “They’re good and they deserved to win. They did everything they needed to do, and we didn’t.”

LOU FroM 1B a candidate for the job. He said Piniella’s replacement won’t be hired before the end of the season, but he hopes to have a manager in place by organization meetings in late October or early November. “It’s not going to be a twoweek process,” said Hendry. Sandberg, who spent several seasons as a spring training instructor with the Cubs after retiring in 1997, said he’s interested. “I need to focus on what I’m doing here in Des Moines with these players and what my job is right now,” he said. “If the time came, if I was considered for that job in Chicago, I think that’s be a terrific thing just to be considered.” Cubs slugger Derrek Lee said he was surprised by the timing and Piniella will be missed. “He doesn’t like to lose,” Lee said. “He’s had a great career, put a lot of time into this game.” “I’m proud of our accomplishments during my time here and this will be a perfect way for me to end my career,” Piniella said. “But let me make one thing perfectly clear: Our work is far from over. I want to keep the momentum going more than anything else and win as many games as we can to get back in this pennant race.”

Are ADD and cluster headaches linked? Dear Dr. Gott: Our 30-yearold grandson has a history of cluster headaches that started when he was in elementary school. He also has ADD. Could that have anything to do with the headaches? What do you recommend as the best medication for adult ADD?

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

David Lloyd George, the only Welshman to become prime minister of Great Britain, said, “Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.” We are looking at pre-emptive jump overcalls. With a decent seven-card suit and 5-10 high-card points, you usually make a double-jump overcall. (However, if your suit is a minor and the double-jump would carry you past three no-trump, it might be better to make a single jump. Try to sense if the responder has a strong hand.) In this deal, North overcalls one club with three diamonds. This gives South a problem. He ought to bid five diamonds, because if North has king-queenjack-seventh of diamonds and out, that hand will be worth one trick in no-trump and six tricks in diamonds. Here, though, that would unluckily fail. Let’s assume South converts to three no-trump. How should South plan the play after West leads the club queen? South has six top tricks: one spade, one heart, two diamonds and two clubs. It looks easy to take the first trick and to play a diamond to dummy’s jack. Since there are only 15 highcard points missing, the finesse will probably work. And even if it loses, declarer still gets six diamond tricks. Here, though, this play costs the contract. Instead, South should play a diamond to dummy’s eight. That guarantees the contract (unless East has all four dia-

monds). Here, when the finesse wins, declarer can play diamonds without loss and take 12 tricks if he endplays West at the end.

NYC police accuse rapper Ice-T of driving offense NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police say they have arrested rapper-actor Ice-T on accusations of driving with a suspended license. Police say the entertainer was driving a 2009 Cadillac near West 40th Street and 11th Avenue on Tuesday when officers stopped him for not wearing a seat belt. They said they ran a check and discovered his license was suspended. The NYPD said he would be given a ticket and released. His publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Ice-T has played Detective Fin Tutuola on the TV drama “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” since 2000.

Dear Reader: Cluster headaches can occur every day or over a period of weeks or months. They can occur during a particular season, only to reappear the following year during the same time period. They can strike quickwithout DR. PETER ly, warning, and GOTT appear all on the same side of the head. They may be present at the same time on successive evenings, and sufferers can almost set their clocks and calendars by their occurrence. They often occur during the night and appear to most commonly affect middle-aged men. Symptoms can include a drooping eyelid, stuffy or runny nose, sweating, flushing, tearing, nausea and sensitivity to light. There is no cure for cluster headaches. The goal is to reduce the severity of pain and shorten the duration of each episode. Treatment focuses on prevention and commonly includes injectible Imitrex except for those people diagnosed with

uncontrolled hypertension or ischemic heart disease. In those two instances, Octreotide would be a better choice for control. Beyond that, dihydroergotamine might be used, but is only given in a physician’s office or hospital setting. Xylocaine as a nasal drop remains another choice. In otherwise healthy people, oxygen, lithium, verapamil and older antidepressants known as tricyclic antidepressants may be beneficial. Cluster headaches are vascular in nature. Researchers are unsure precisely what causes ADD; however, some considerations include heredity, exposure to high lead levels, brain injuries, nutrition, cigarette smoking and/or alcohol use during pregnancy. Therefore, my interpretation is there is no direct link between ADD and cluster headaches. In terms of recommending a medication, I believe your son’s best bet is what is prescribed by his physician who knows his complete history. Research remains ongoing and new developments are always on the horizon. Additional information can be obtained through the National Headache Foundation at www.headaches.org. To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Headaches”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or

nose your condition or determine what is causing it and prescribe accordingly. Check with your local hospital to find someone who can make recommendations for a proper referral.

Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 60year-old cleaning lady. In January 2009, my face felt like it had menthol on it with a burning sensation on both cheeks that has continued 24 hours a day since then. Even the corners of my mouth burn. I went to a skin specialist three times. He prescribed Pramosone, Doxycycline and Prascion, none of which worked. What kind of doctor do I go to next? I hope you can help me.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.Ask DrGottMD.com.

Dear Reader: I am confused why you experience symptoms now unless you have been exposed to an allergen, are on a new medication, herb or other supplement, or have had an unidentified occurrence in your life. Could you have undiagnosed rosacea or seborrheic dermatitis? Have you changed jobs and are exposed to central air conditioning or different cleaning agents? Did you get a new pet? Pramosone is a hydrocortisone steroid, Doxycycline is an antibiotic and Prascion is an antibacterial agent. Your skin specialist appeared to cover all the bases but failed to alleviate your symptoms. Therefore, you should request referral to another dermatologist who can either correctly diag-
