Thursday’s meeting of the Rowan Municipal Association was a chance for local leaders to hear candidates for the Rowan Board of Commissioners speak their minds. The group of representatives of city and town governments heard candidates’ answers to four questions on local government issues at the Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks. Each had three minutes to answer, in addition to opening and closing remarks. David Whisenant of WBTV acted as moderator. Commissioner Chad Mitchell, a Republican seeking his third term on the board, said he would strive to create jobs and support education. “I’ve worked hard to keep tax rates low so all the citizens of your municipalities can enjoy the fruits of their labors as much as possible,” Mitchell said. He pledged to work with Rowan’s economic develop-

ment body, RowanWorks, to create jobs. Republican challenger Jim Sides, elected to the board in 1980 and 2004, said he’s running on a platform of cutting government and taxes. “I think we need to get back to the basics,” Sides said. He spoke of the difficult economy and of his previous experiences working with budgets. “I’m prepared to make those tough decisions,” Sides said. Leda Shuping Belk, Democratic challenger, served on the board from 2000 to 2004. She said she was running because of divisions she’s seen among governments, which she says send a negative message. “Why would any company relocate here?” Belk asked. She said it was time for commissioners and municipalities to find common ground and support local businesses. Commissioner Jon Barber, a Republican, is seeking his second term.

Lottery winnings paying off for debt collectors RALEIGH (AP) — People and governments who have tried to collect money they’re owed are also benefitting from state lottery winnings. North Carolina lottery officials collected $1 million in the past year from prize winners who were also debtors, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Thursday. The milestone comes after a record $1.4 billion in lottery sales, a 10 percent increase from the previous year. The lottery compares the names of big winners against a list of people who owe child support, back taxes, hospital bills and student loans. The debts can be as small as $50 or into the thousands of dollars. Tapping lottery winnings is often preferable to government officials than garnishing paychecks because the money isn’t coming out of wages or a tax refund, said John E. Whitehurst, a project

manager for the Association of County Commissioners. The group helped set up a database of debtors and does the collections for local governments. Taxpayer information is confidential, and officials declined to name those who have had winnings withheld. Some prize winners say they’re happy to finally be able to pay their debts, said lottery Executive Director Tom Shaheen. “Many of them are relieved,” he said. “Hopefully they still get to walk out with some cash.” Debts to the state’s court system and public university hospital system were also big categories for collections. Child support accounted for nearly $102,000 in 111 cases. “For those that won and owe, we’re glad for the kids,” said Sherry Bradsher, director of the state Division of Social Services.

Elsewhere in the courthouse, a woman defendant sported a short blouse and hip-hugging jeans that combined to expose her midriff.

Proposal to ban East Coast lobstering shelved JUST LISTED

“The moratorium was the bullet in a gun that was pointed to our head.” PETER BRODEUR lobstermen in Point Judith, R.I.

The board later approved a motion by Doug Grout, Marine Division chief at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, that it consider one of three options to rebuild lobster stocks: cutting the lobster catch by 75 percent, cutting it by 50 percent or keeping the current rules, which include conservation measures to protect smaller lobsters and reproductive females. A moratorium could possibly resurface the next time the board considers rule changes. The current rule change isn’t likely to be adopted before next spring. John German, a lobsterman from New York’s Long Island, said he was relieved the moratorium was killed this year, but he said the industry can’t survive any new cuts. “There ain’t nothing we can give

up right now,” he said. “The status quo has got to be it.” Peter Brodeur, a Point Judith, R.I., lobstermen since 1979, said the decision gives lobstermen another year or so but likely no more, since he believes the board will approve one of the two cuts, which he called “poison pills.” “The moratorium was the bullet in a gun that was pointed to our head,” he said. “A poison pill has been put in front of us. ... Once it’s digested, it will kill us anyway.” The region under review is called the southern New England region, although it extends from south of the tip of Cape Cod to North Carolina. It accounts for 5 to 7 percent of the Northeast’s lobster catch; the rest is trapped north of Cape Cod to Maine.. The area once trapped as much as a quarter of the Northeast’s catch, and its lobster population peaked at about 35 million in the late 1990s. But the stock sank to around 13 million by 2003 and is estimated at about 15 million today, compared with around 116 million lobsters in the Gulf of Maine.

Investors had plenty of reasons to buy on Thursday. Caterpillar said its orders are growing and production will pick up in the second half of the year. UPS raised its outlook because of spending by businesses. Caterpillar’s stock rose 1.7 percent, while UPS gained 5.2 percent. Chris Hobart, founder of Hobart Financial Group in Charlotte, said the outlooks are especially important because, if companies expect to grow, they’ll need to hire again. If improved forecasts lead to jobs growth, “then this can be better than a good

Thief doesn’t get far with new iPhone SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man accused of swiping an Apple iPhone out of a woman’s hand in San Francisco may have been shocked when police found him only nine minutes later. It turns out the phone had been tracking his every move. The iPhone was being used to test a new, real-time GPS tracking application, and the woman holding it was an intern for the software’s maker, Mountain View-based

Covia Labs. Covia CEO David Kahn had sent the intern into the street to demonstrate the software. Police say Horatio Toure snatched it and sped away on a bicycle. Kahn was watching a live map of the phone’s location on a computer and says he was immediately struck by how quickly the image began moving down the street. Police arrested Toure nine minutes later, and the intern identified him as the thief.

A report on the housing market, while still showing a slowdown, was reassuring because it wasn’t as bad as investors expected. The National Association of Realtors said sales of previously occupied homes fell to an annual rate of 5.37 million in June from 5.66 million a month earlier. Economists forecast the sales rate to fall to 5.18 million. The Dow rose 201.77, or 2 percent, to 10,322.30. That was the Dow’s biggest advance since it rose 274 points

‘Barefoot Bandit’ doesn’t try for bail SEATTLE (AP) — Colton Harris-Moore, the 19-yearold accused in a two-year string of thefts from Washington state to the Caribbean, did not seek bail in his first court appearance Thursday in Washington state and will remain jailed. Earlier in the day, federal prosecutors said HarrisMoore poses “an extreme risk of flight” and should remain jailed until his trial. In a court appearance that lasted just eight minutes, Harris-Moore did not contest his detention. The U.S. attorney’s office said he is the primary suspect in at least 80 crimes committed since he escaped from a group home near Seattle in April 2008.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks had their biggest rally in two weeks Thursday as earnings and economic reports reassured investors that the recovery, while uncertain, is continuing. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 201 points after second-quarter earnings from Caterpillar Inc., UPS Inc. and other companies beat analysts’ forecasts. A better than expected report on housing and encouraging signs of growth in Europe added to the upbeat mood. But investors might be ready to sell again when trading resumes today. After the close of regular trading, Amazon.com Inc. issued a report that fell short of expectations. Its stock fell almost 14 percent in after-hours trading. If the market gives back gains today, it would follow its pattern of falling on disappointments in what so far has been a mixed earnings season. Microsoft Corp. also released earnings after the close of trading and beat analyst estimates. Its stock fell slightly.

WARWICK, R.I. (AP) — A proposal to ban lobster fishing over a vast stretch of the East Coast was killed Thursday after lobstermen said it would do “almost biblical” damage to the industry. The board that advises the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission on lobster rules voted instead to consider lesser reductions in the catch — or no new restrictions at all. The vote by the American Lobster Management Board came after lobstermen said a possible fiveyear ban on lobster fishing from south of Cape Cod, Mass., to North Carolina would destroy their businesses just as the species is rebounding. Board member Bill McElroy, a Rhode Island lobsterman, argued a moratorium made no sense, since lobstermen aren’t overfishing and a moratorium wouldn’t rebuild the lobster population to levels regulators are targeting. associated press “The board needs to confront the Lobster ﬁsherman charlie Fitzpatrick, left, reality of destroying the fishery to and his wife Gail, unload a catch of lob- save the lobsters,” he said. “It doesn’t really do anybody any good.” sters in Wickford, r.i.

ABC board discusses impact of bill

www.salisburypost.com

BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

In their first meeting since the ABC reform bill was signed into law, members of the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC board discussed its local impact Thursday. “There is a requirement —new for almost all of us (local ABC boards) — that is going to require a balanced budget by every ABC system in North Carolina,” said board member Marny Hendrick. “You have to put it out there for public scrutiny, adopt it and monitor it.” The first such budget must be completed by June 1 and adopted by July 1 next year. Hendrick said the state ABC Commission will provide templates for local boards to use. Board chair Linda Lowman asked if the commission would be “more forgiving” because the process is so new. Hendrick said he didn’t know, but some bigger systems already operate under a budget — RowanKannapolis does not — and might be willing to help smaller systems out. “I think we’ll be able to handle it, though,” he said. Each board will required to appoint a chief financial officer to oversee the process, and board members agreed that it made more sense to appoint a current staff member rather than hire a new employee. Hendrick also raised the possibility of each store creating its own budget, to make the overall budget easier and give store managers more insight into their own finances. Board member Ken Argo asked if the ABC Commission would provide a “layman’s interpretation” of the new law, which has established various rules and procedures for local boards. Hendrick said he would try to get one. “We’re just people down here who don’t know a whole lot,” Argo said, to chuckles from others in the room. “We need people in Raleigh who know this thing to give us guidance.” In other news, the board voted unanimously to wait to decide on a profit distribution amount until an official audit is completed this fall. This quarter, the system had a net profit of $16,000. The system began the month of April $32,000 in the red, Lowman said, because of money spent on the roof of the Jake Alexander store and payroll.

Hospital auxiliary donates Wii, TV to rehab center BY BRYSON NESBITT For the Salisbury Post

The Rowan Regional Medical Center (RRMC) Auxiliary recently donated a Nintendo Wii, large screen television and DVD player to the Elizabeth C. Stanback Rehabilitation Center at RRMC. The new equipment will be used in conjunction with traditional equipment to help rehabilitate patients in the unit. Patients of the unit have already begun to feel the effects of this alternative, and fun, form of rehabilitation. When asked how this equipment has helped her to recover, Stanback Rehab patient Cindy Davis said, “It helps my upper body, because I can’t use my lower body right now.” Davis has used the Wii a couple of times for therapy during her stay on the unit. Mary Jo Agner, PT and manager of Rehabilitation Medicine said that the new equipment “adds a whole new element of fun for patients like Davis, who used to be an avid bowler. This allows her to get back to the things she enjoys. “Sometimes patients play against family members which gets the family involved with the therapy and rehab.” Patients in the unit have three hours of therapy five days per week, and now patients for whom it is appropriate, may be able to use the Wii for the last 30 minutes of therapy. The Wii has a “balance platform” that measures center of balance, center of mass and weight. This platform gives the patient feedback as to how they are standing. The Wii Balance Platform makes it a little easier for them compared to looking at mirrors.

eric deLony, Chief emeritus of the National park service’s historic American engineering Record (hAeR), advocates historic bridge preservation on a recent visit to the historic Wil-Cox bridge over the Yadkin River.

Wil-Cox improvements will cost an estimated $1.5 million B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com

The state will pay for an estimated $1.5 million in repairs to the Wil-Cox Bridge, an official said this week. The U.S. 29/70 southbound bridge crosses the Yadkin River from Davidson County into Rowan. Pat Ivey, with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, said in an interview Wednesday that the bridge will be needed temporarily to divert traffic while the northbound bridge is replaced. “Because of that, it was justified that we spend that money to upgrade the bridge,” Ivey said. The span was closed on April 8, after inspectors found exposed rebar, deteriorating concrete and deep cracks in the structure. NCDOT aims to bring it up to code and enable it to support vehicular traffic for about a year during construction. Ivey said the repairs would likely cost about $1.5 million. The state is waiting on an official estimate from contractor Flatiron-Lane, which also was awarded the $136 million contract to replace the Interstate 85 bridge over the Yadkin River. Davidson County Commissioner Max Walser, who serves as the county board chair, said Wednesday he is “very happy” that the state will be paying for the

repairs. “This is going to help us in the long term, because we’ll still get $2.5 million to do what we need to do to further update it,” Walser said. That $2.5 million was going to be used for demolition of the bridge before Davidson commissioners voted to take ownership of it last spring. NCDOT has agreed to let the county use the money to maintain the bridge after it closes and convert it for pedestrian, bicycle and horse traffic. Davidson commissioners have asked Flatiron-Lane for a cost estimate of the additional construction, Ivey said, which would include cosmetic work and required safety features. Davidson County Commissioner Billy Joe Kepley has been a strong supporter of keeping the bridge. “We look forward to this being a great historic tourist attraction,” Kepley said. “It will be as much of an advantage for Rowan and Salisbury as it is for us.” He said the bridge would be closer to Rowan accommodations like hotels and restaurants, but “we don’t mind that at all.” Visitors to historic sites in Salisbury and Spencer, he said, would likely travel to the county border to visit the Trading Ford area, where a Civil War fort

Eric DeLony had heard about the area’s historic bridges. So, on a recent visit to family in western North Carolina, he stopped by Salisbury and the Yadkin River. DeLony spent his career with the National Park Service’s Historic American Engineering Record. From 1987 to 2003 he served as chief of the program established in 1969 to create a national archive of industrial, engineering and technological heritage. Since retiring, he has been an advocate of historic bridge preservation, and he serves on the Advisory Board of the Historic Bridge Foundation. DeLony’ s first stop was on Ellis Street in Salisbury at the Shober Bridge, which carries traffic over the railroad right-ofway. It is one of the city’s two remaining timber bridges. After photographing that structure, he went on the Wil-Cox Bridge over the Yadkin with a group of state and local officials and preservationists. Dr. Jeffrey Crow and Michael South-

Troy M. Rushing Jr.is a newcomer to the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education race, but he says he’s no stranger to educating and empowering youth. The 62-year-old Landis resident spent 16 years serving as the executive director of Church of God Children’s Home in Concord, where he worked with children ages 4 through 21. Rushing strongly believes that motivation is an essential part of learning. “I’ve found with a lot of children that it’s not necessarily that they don’t have the ability, it’s that maybe they haven’t had the opportunity.” While working at the children’s home, Rushing started a program called Fresh Start, which encourages high school graduates at the home to continue living there while pursuing higher education. After leaving the children’s home in 2007, Rushing worked as a substitute teacher in the Rowan-Salis-

bury School System for about a year and a half. He said he gained a different perspective after being in the classroom. “I learned not only what was going on, but how things were being carried out,” he said. “We’ve got some great programs here in Rowan County, but I think there are a couple of areas that need adjustments.” Rushing said he was compelled to file for the South District seat after learning that the current representative, Patty Williams, had decided not to run. He said he feels it was his responsibility to “represent the citizens of Rowan County by helping produce the best educational opportunity of children in this area. “I’ve always had an interest in children and I’ve always been a firm believer in being involved in the community,” he said. “I search for any way that I can better

society or better the life of someone else.” Rushing said one way that he plans to help local residents voice their opinions is through his website, rushingforschools.com. The site will feature an open forum for both positive and negative community input. “I would have a comments and commendations page,” he said. “As a school board member, you’re representing the people and they need to have a voice.” Mike Caskey of Kannapolis has also filed for the South seat on the board. Caskey unsuccessfully ran for a seat on in 2006. Two incumbents have also filed: Jean Kennedy from the North district and Kay Wright Norman from the West. Filing continues until noon on Aug. 13.

Better Business Bureau warns of phishing scam on Facebook The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers about the latest “phishing” scam that is making the rounds of Facebook this week. The subject of the new scam is McDonald’s, but the real target is your personal information. This phishing scam is being spread via status updates exclaiming that McDonald’s will be closing and it has a link to find out the “real” reason why. The Facebook message reads: “OMG!! McDonald’s might soon shut down because of this! Warning: Your jaw will drop to the floor!” And then it instructs you to “Simply Follow the two easy steps below to see why McDonald’s might soon shut down!” In order to find out why, you are told: “Step one is to click on the link that says ‘Like This Page!’ and then click on the ‘Like’ button to continue.”

If you click on the link, you are told to take a survey that asks you for personal information that you should not give out on the Internet. Also, by clicking on the link, your computer could be infected with spyware, malware or viruses designed to steal any personal information or passwords stored on your computer. “Phishing scams are effective because they have a sensational hook disguised as a link that promises insider information,” said BBB President Tom Bartholomy. “The reason scammers are targeting Facebook is simple; the website has 500 million users. It is literally one of the biggest ponds on the Internet in which to phish.” The BBB has this advice to help you protect your identity online: • Parents should teach their children about online scams and identity theft giv-

en that millions of Facebook users are young people. While young people are very computer savvy, they may not be as scam savvy as adults are. • Do not click on suspicious links online disguised as sensational information, even if the link comes from one of your Facebook friends. • Do not give out personal information online unless you know with 100 percent certainty that the recipient is a secure, encrypted site and you know for what purpose the information will be used. Web addresses for secure sites begin with “https,” not simply “http.” Secure sites also have a padlock symbol in the lower right corner of the screen.

My favorite smells of summer ight now, we are working on the second cutting of hay. Tonight I realized that most of my favorite smells are pertinent to early July. Once in a great while, farmers have hay with lots of clover in it. Clover grows in abundance when it is damp and fairly cool. That is the weather that we had for DAVID much of FREEZE spring, so now this hay cutting is loaded with clover. As clover dries, the already sweet smell of hay gets even more pronounced. Walking outside in the still evening air allows the mix of drying clover with the other smells of summer. This is only day one, the pleasant smell will increase until the baling is done after three or four days. I think the horses know it too, because they seem to be lively even in the mid-90s heat. Here are some more of my favorite smells and how they came to be. Dial soap, the yellow straightforward kind, has been my choice for many years. I don’t need the aloe kind, or the facial kind, or anything with special fragrances. As a child, Aunt Bert and Uncle Mert (real names) had an open basement shower. We thought it was a treat to take a shower in a big open

room. All you needed was a bar of Dial soap and a towel. Nobody hurried me and it was always cool in the basement. On days like today in the hay field, part of my acreage ends up on the bottom of my shower. In other words, there is a lot of dirt. But being really hot and really dirty is not a big deal when I have my Dial soap. Most of the hay work is done in the bright sun. That is where my Coppertone sunscreen comes in. Have you noticed a farmer who doesn’t have a good tan? Most of them learned long ago that they need some good protection and a hat. I remember using Coppertone when our family went to the beach during my childhood years. Those were fun trips, if and only if the dreaded sunburn didn’t get us. Somehow, the smell of Coppertone came to mean a day at the beach or a day in the sun on the farm. Either one is just fine with me. Blackberry pie is another wonderful smell at the end of a hard day in the field. Real blackberries, the ones that have to be picked among the briars, make great pies. Another remembrance of my childhood was the dreaded blackberry picking trip. My brother and sister hated to go even more than me. It would always be hot, but my mom made sure that we wore plenty of clothes. She was always worried about chiggers, a pesky little mite that caused major aggravation if

they got to latch onto the skin. Hot and humid days, and plenty of clothes made for warm and sweaty spots to attract chiggers. They never bothered me much, but my mom did when I ate more blackberries than I put in the bucket. We eventually took the berries home, and had to take a bath in the middle of the day to wash off the chiggers. Soon the pie was in the oven, and lots more berries saved in the freezer for later. But the main goal is always to get all the hay in the barn. Farmers often meet each other during hay season with something like “Got your hay in?” to which the proper reply would be “Yep, how ‘bout you?” It is just much easier to sleep at night when the hay is all done, knowing the horses will have plenty to eat no matter how hot and dry the weather is for the rest of the summer. Speaking of hot and dry weather, the very best smell of July is that of warm summer rain. Sitting on the front porch in a rocker, and watching it rain is hard to beat. Especially when the farm hasn’t had rain in a while. It’s better than TV to watch lightning dance across the sky from a dry porch, and know the hay is in the barn. Rain is falling, the temperature cools, and I’m going for some blackberry pie.

Challenger baseball a fun time for all BY SUSAN JENSEN For the Salisbury Post

On Saturday, July 10, in the sticky heat, 18 Rowan County kids aged 6-18 with mental and physical challenges competed against the Rutherford and Greensboro Challenger Little League teams in Rutherfordton. Kids in wheelchairs supported by parents or volunteers hit the ball and screamed with joy as they were pushed around the baseball diamond. Some kids could run the bases by themselves – and one boy in leg braces had the thrill of a lifetime when he successfully stole a base. Some of the mentally challenged kids had volunteers run around the bases with them. There was a happy air of competitiveness as everyone gave their all — delighted in using the most of their abilities. The focus was on giving one’s best, rather than winning. Children roared with pleasure when kids on opposing teams made a good

catch or hit the ball hard. This is what sports should be — having a great time and seeing how far one can go rather than worrying about how good the other guy is. The excellent manners, complete absence of jealousy or bad behavior (on the part of both kids and parents) stands in stark contrast to some of what we see nowadays in organized children’s sports. The heat and humidity were brutal — but not one of the players complained. One kid even had to be pulled out to get emergency water — and could not wait to get back into the game. A young teenaged volunteer mentioned that she loved participating in these games because of the lack of self consciousness about appearance, and the kindness and decency of these kids. This stands in stark contrast to her usual teenaged life — angst over the smallest physical flaw, mean gossiping behavior at school and jealous competition between whole

bodied healthy kids who lack appreciation of their many blessings. The kids at Saturday’s game appreciated everything — the feel of the breeze on their faces as someone pushed their wheelchair, the smack of their bat against the ball, and the warm camaraderie of everyone present. Rowan County District Court Judge Beth Dixon and her husband Glenn have sponsored this team for years — financially and in every other way. They help organize the games, the volunteers, the food, etc. On Saturday morning they were out in the parking lot of the Salisbury Mall by 6:45 am getting the excited players organized. On the two hour trips back and forth they played family friendly movies with moral themes that all the kids were able to appreciate and discuss. It is wonderful to see our elected officials giving back to the community in such an outstanding way. Anyone who feels like volunteering for this great cause can contact: ARC Rowan at 704-637-1521.

ABC FROM 3a then made $33,000 of profits in May and about $15,000 in June. Total sales in June were $713,000, dropping $2,000 from $715,000 in June 2009. While bottled liquor sales dropped 1 percent from June 2009, liquor by the drink sales actually increased by 6 percent — from about $58,000 to about $61,000. “It seems like a lot of restaurants are seeing some positive signs for change,” said General Manager Terry Osborne. “I’m delighted to see that for business in the area.” Lowman said the board is still working on reducing inventory and may clear some shelving at the Gateway Center and Renaissance stores. Also at Thursday’s meeting, the ABC Board:

When the clerks decide they need a day off and head to New York themselves ... expect complications. Marty Walker is a grumpy Vandergelder, huffing and puffing as if he’ll blow the house down. Alison Bird flitters and twitters as Dolly, who has her own ideas about who Vandergelder will marry. Piedmont veteran Jonathan Furr brings life to Cornelius Hackl, chief clerk and frustrated 33-year-old who never has any fun. What ernestness he brings to the part and what fun he seems to have as the adventures begin. A bevy of Carson High School students have parts

The Carson trio shows some promise, with Eury full of innocence and Watson a shy pursuer. Another Piedmont veteran, Nora El-Khouri Spencer, is the charming Mrs. Malloy, stuck in a hat shop she hates, having no fun whatsoever because she must maintain her reputation. When the naive young clerks happen into her shop, Cornelius immediately falls in love with Mrs. Malloy. Conveniently, her assistant, Minnie Fay is there for Barnaby. Young Alyssa Klauss plays the dreamy girl who hasn’t had much adventure, either. Is there any way the

• Approved two contracts for capital improvements to the ABC office at 510 N. Lee St. The board chose Salisbury contractor Cohen Roofing and Metal to replace the building’s roof. The company’s bid of $69,000 was not the lowest — Radco Construction out of Mount Holly bid $62,000 — but board members said Cohen’s local status and better workmanship guarantee justified the difference. Last Tuesday, heavy rains and leaks in the roof caused water to soak into a few of the building’s walls, Osborne said. Those walls have been torn down. The board voted to bring in Restoration Plus, of Salisbury, to rebuild and make repairs. That project is estimated to cost between $22,000 and $27,000, with insurance covering $9,000 of that cost. • Voted unanimously to use F&M Bank for all of its

banking services. The board decided to stop making deposits at Fifth Third bank due to $800 in service charges as of May 1. • Heard a report on the system’s law enforcement activities from Jerry Dean, special agent with the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety Alcohol Law Enforcement Division. The board discussed a possible partnership with the Footprints Ministries Choices Program for alcohol education. The Century Council formerly funded and organized some programs for the ABC board, but funding stopped last year. • Recognized Hendrick’s service to the board and gave him his nameplate.

called Camp Yadkin once stood. The bridge itself also has historic value, Kepley said. It was built in the 1920s and is one of only six North Carolina bridges constructed in the open spandrel concrete arch style. Historic preservationist Eric DeLony visited the bridge July 9 and praised Davidson officials’ efforts to save it. “He’s a lover of old architecture,” Kepley said. “He was proud Davidson County commissioners took ownership of it.” Commissioners voted 4-2 at their May 25 meeting to move forward with the WilCox bridge project. Walser was absent, and Larry Potts and Don Truell voted against it. Potts said in an interview that he thought the county made its decisions about the bridge too quickly and with too little information, especially knowing significant repairs would be needed. “Also, we’re not getting any usable land with it,” Potts said. “The best I can tell, you can probably park 15-20 cars on the land that they gave us on the approach to it... If we were getting a large parcel, maybe it would be worth it.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

young lovers can avoid running into grouchy Mr. Vandergelder? Of course not! It’s only New York City, after all, and in the 1880s, it wasn’t yet teeming with people. Can it be coincidence that Cornelius and Barnaby stumble into the hat shop, the hat shop that just happens to belong to the woman Vandergelder is going to marry? Where would we be without coincidences? Plus, Dolly is so busy plotting how she can marry Vandergelder, she’ll do anything to get what she wants. Along the way, she’s also going to make sure Ermengarde and her young artist find bliss, and if anyone else happens to get matched, well, all the better.

With the Wil-Cox Bridge behind him, he spoke of the necessity of preserving both bridges. “It’d be a shame not to celebrate these bridges, interpret them some way,” he said. Both bridges had been closed for repairs. The Shober Bridge reopened in June. The WilCox Bridge has been closed since April. An agreement with the DOT has been in place since last year allowing Davidson County to assume ownership of the bridge when the I-85 project is complete. Davidson County plans to use the Wil-Cox Bridge for pedestrians and bicycles. “Any time that we can go in and work with the locals particularly on historic preservation, we certainly want to do that,” said Pat Ivey, NCDOT Division 9 Engineer. “We will be providing the county with about $2.5 million so they can make repairs and aesthetic improvements and have something they’ll be proud of.”

“I do believe in term limits,” Barber said, pledging that his second term would be his last if he’s re-elected. He said that more than 1,300 jobs had been created or saved during his time on the Board of Commissioners, and said he’d work to bring more jobs to Rowan. Bill Burgin, Democratic challenger, said his six terms and a total of 12 years on the Salisbury City Council give him the insight needed to lead. He said people can relate to his work with the city. He also said that a focus on strategic planning is needed at the county level. “The truth is, you don’t even go on vacation if you don’t plan,” Burgin said. He said commissioners should join local leaders in deciding what they want the county to look like in 10 years. The association’s questions asked candidates to comment on infrastructure development, mutual aid agreements, annexation and relationships between the county and local governments. Annexation was the most divisive issue of the night, but the discussion was frank and calm. Whisenant asked how candidates would work with communities that felt “disconnected” over annexation. In 2008, Rowan County commissioners threatened to file a lawsuit against the city of Salisbury for attempting to involuntarily annex land off N.C. 150.

approximately 5 million people in the program have had their benefits cut off since its authorization expired June 2. North Carolina’s checks may be a few weeks in coming for all of those eligible to receive benefits. Thursday’s 272-152 House vote sent the bill to the White House. “Americans who are fighting to find a good job and support their families will finally get the support they need to get back on their feet during these tough economic times,” Obama said in a statement issued after signing the measure. The House action came less than 24 hours after a mostly party-line Senate vote Wednesday on the measure, which is just one

naturally opposed to municipalities who want more cash. “I think it’s the duty of a town board to convince an area that it’s in its best interests” to be annexed, Mitchell said. Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz said the meeting was a valuable opportunity to hear candidates’ views on the issues. She said she “wasn’t terribly surprised” by their views on annexation. “What’s more important to me was to hear the promise of cooperation from all five of the candidates,” Kluttz said.

coming a rarity,” he says. What people wear to court is not a new topic in the legal profession. It’s more like an ever evolving one as society’s standards change. A District Judges Conference in October 2007 discussed at length what inherent authority judges have in deciding what’s appropriate dress and appearance in the courtroom. Michael Crowell of the University of North Carolina School of Government wrote part of a treatise on the subject. Crowell cited case law stating that, “While a court may require appropriate attire of parties, witnesses and spectators, it may not impose unduly rigid requirements, and it may not punish offenders unless they have been given proper notice of the standards to be enforced and an opportunity to comply.” It was wrong, one ruling said, for a judge to hold a defendant in contempt for wearing a T-shirt that stated, “If a--holes could fly this place would be an airport.” While the T-shirt was not proper courtroom wear, it didn’t rise to the level of holding the person in contempt, the court ruled. Other than wearing the Tshirt, the defendant had resisted contemptuous or disruptive behavior, answered the court’s questions respectfully and left the courtroom without protest when ordered. Dixon and Chief District Court Judge Charlie Brown give a lot of credit to bailiffs and courthouse security officers for heading off potential dress problems before they even show up in the

courtrooms. If they see a person who’s wearing a T-shirt with a questionable message on it, they might advise him or her to turn the shirt inside out. Judges will do the same, if they don’t like a T-shirt’s message. Brown would rather BROWN handle courtroom dress issues in that manner than bring things to a grinding halt by holding a contempt hearing. He notes it’s also a requirement of judges to give defendants a warning that what they are wearing is inappropriate and allow them a chance to correct it. Before Brown sends someone out of his courtroom because of a T-shirt or other clothing, he asks a few questions. “It may be the only shirt they had, and they may have

gotten it from the homeless shelter,” Brown says. And for many defendants, he adds, it hasn’t dawned on them until that moment that what they’re wearing could be seen as inappropriate. Dixon follows a similar course of restraint at times. A young woman recently appeared in front of her with a tube-top dress that Dixon thought was inappropriate. But in speaking with her, Dixon says, she realized the woman had made a conscious effort to wear what she considered the best dress she had. “I’m glad I didn’t say anything,” Dixon says. Cameron, the attorney, agrees that sometimes defendants are indigent and what they’re wearing to court is the best clothing they can find. Still, attorneys and judges say common sense should especially be the guide when it comes to the message Tshirts. At the judges conference

like good boys, little girls like bad boys.” It wasn’t a good choice. Hoffman tells his clients to dress as though they were going to church. A citizen’s attire should show respect to the court, he says. “We used to tell clients to, please, dress like they’re going to church,” Dixon acknowledges DIXON from her earlier days in private practice. But she thinks the mantra has changed and attorneys now ask their clients to dress for court as though they are going to a funeral. Just a casual tour through the courthouse suggests that many clients aren’t getting or heeding that advice. Salisbury attorney Bill Cameron says he will answer people’s questions about what to wear to court, if they ask. “I wish more people did ask,” he says. “What you wear to court says a lot about you.” Citizens with business before the court should show it the respect it deserves, Cameron says. He suggests that people wear something at least “business casual.” He hesitates to suggest church attire, because what’s appropriate at one church these days might not be appropriate at another. “Generally a shirt and tie is appropriate, but that’s be-

Sides said he did not support involuntary annexation and that the law should be changed. “Municipalities have had 50 years of free rein,” Sides said. “Annexation may be Rowan County’s version of the scarlet letter,” Mitchell said. “I don’t like it.

The city later decided not to go through with the attempt. Burgin was asked to speak first. Calling himself the only candidate who’s had to make annexation decisions, he said the law allowing cities to involuntarily annex land was important. “Annexation says you’ve changed from being rural to being urban,” Burgin said, and added it was vital for growing communities to expand their tax bases. Barber said citizens should be able to vote on whether or not to be annexed. More than that, he said, “I would prefer for municipalities and the county to discuss what their needs are before annexation is attempted.” Belk noted the law allows annexation and the only real way to change that was to change the law.

piece of a larger Democratic jobs agenda that has otherwise mostly collapsed after months of battles with Republicans. The measure is what remains of a Democratic effort launched in February to renew elements of last year’s stimulus bill. But GOP opposition forced Democrats to drop $24 billion to help state governments avoid layoffs and higher taxes, as well as a package of expired tax cuts and a health insurance subsidy for the unemployed. The jobless benefits portion picked up enough GOP support in the Senate — Maine moderates Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe — only after it was broken off as a standalone bill. It would have passed last month were it not for the death of Robert Byrd, DW.Va.; his replacement, Democrat Carte Goodwin, cast a key vote Tuesday to defeat a GOP filibuster.

S.C. nominee’s military career had some blotches

assOciated pRess

alvin Greene, democratic candidate for senate, speaks at Manning Junior High school in Manning, s.c. In the weeks since, Greene has given a series of awkward interviews to reporters clamoring for more information on the unemployed man who lives in Manning with his ailing father. In one interview, he suggested that the state’s economy could be improved by making and selling action figures depicting him in his uniform. On Sunday, Greene gave his first public speech, a 6 1⁄2-minute recitation of his previous comments and commitment to jobs and educa-

tion. He now has a website and says he has raised less than $1,000. Greene has often mentioned his military service, saying he first came up with the idea to seek political office while serving in Korea. But the veteran has also refused to go into detail about his service, merely saying he won numerous decorations and left the military honorably but involuntarily. At his home in Manning on Thursday, Greene told an AP reporter who reviewed the documents with him that the evaluations show he was discriminated against by military supervisors but he did not explain what that meant. “I’m telling you who they promote: the terrorists and the communists,” said Greene, wearing a blue U.S. Air Force T-shirt. “This is why we need to overhaul the military and get these people out.” The records obtained by AP only reveal a small slice of Greene’s service record, his three years with the U.S.

Air Force. After serving in junior ROTC in high school, Greene entered the Air National Guard in 1995, serving there until 2002. In July of that year, he entered the Air Force, serving first as an intelligence librarian responsible for analyzing reports and briefings at Shaw Air Force Base near Sumter. In a performance report two years later, Greene received adequate marks for performing tasks assigned to him, complying with standards and training requirements. But Greene’s reviewer marked him as an ineffective leader who lacked organization and was “unable to express thoughts clearly.” Greene is “usually capable of handling mundane tasks with supervision” but is “not able to adapt to any changes to daily routine,” the reviewer wrote, also noting that Greene had received multiple disciplinary actions for failing to perform his duties. Greene was also written up for posting sensitive information on a military Internet

server, a mistake that resulted in a three-day work stoppage. Records showed Greene was kept at Shaw while the rest of his unit deployed after leadership “recognized his inability to contribute to the wartime mission.” Greene protested the denial, writing that the reviewer “only concentrates on presenting a negative perception of me by making false state-

ments of my character” and saying the reviewer and other airmen “create a hostile work environment.” A year later, Greene was evaluated again, this time in his new job as an analyst working with the weapons of mass destruction section. But Greene’s job had little to do with intelligence analysis and more to do with shredding documents and escorting contractors around the base.

Officials’ high pay raises eyebrows in cash-strapped town

FROM 1a “Patients are more motivated to participate in order to better their score on the Wii. They are able to visualize their improvement in weight bearing and balance,” said Lisa Lennox, PT and lead therapist for Stanback Rehab. When asked how patients are assessed in order to use the Wii system Lennox said, “Anyone who has good sitting balance can use it. Before the patient stands on the unit they have to be able to stand with minimal assistance. They can use a walker to do that.” She said the Stanback Rehab Center, which is a 10-bed acute inpatient rehab facility, is planning to add a cognitive program to the Wii that the speech therapists can utilize. The RRMC Auxiliary is a 200 member group committed to supporting Rowan Regional Medical Center and its mission of providing the highest quality medical services and improving the health of Rowan County and its surrounding counties, one person at a time. In 2009, RRMC Auxiliary members contributed approximately 22,000 hours of service to the hospital and donated much needed money to the hospital through its fundraising efforts.

n’t paying attention to that,” said Artiga, who joined the council a little more than a year ago. “But we are acting on that today.” Adams was recently hired at a relatively high salary, while Spaccia was paid $102,310 when she was hired in 2003 and received hefty raises since then, Artiga said. All three officials under question have contracts that protect them from being fired without cause. If they refuse to quit, the city might have to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy out their contracts. Revelations about the pay in Bell has sparked anger in the city of fewer than 40,000

residents. Census figures from 2008 show 17 percent of the population lives in poverty. Enraged residents have staged protests demanding the firings and started a recall campaign against some council members. “Woo-hoo, the salaries. Wow. What can I say? I think that’s unbelievable,” Christina Caldera, a 20-year resident of the city, said as she stood in line at a food bank. Caldera, who is struggling after recently losing her job as a drug and alcohol counselor, said she generally was satisfied with the way the city was being run but felt highpaid officials should take a

pay cut. “What are they doing with all that money?” she asked. “Maybe they could put it into more jobs for other people.” Attempts to leave messages with city representatives seeking comment from Rizzo and Spaccia failed because their voicemails were full. A message left for Adams was not immediately returned. The council members are paid well themselves — four of the five members, including Artiga, each make about $100,000 a year for the parttime work. The county district attorney’s office is investigating to determine if the council’s high salaries violate any state laws. The City Council also intends to review city salaries, including those of its own members, according to Artiga and Mayor Oscar Hernandez. “We are going to analyze all the city payrolls and possibly will revise all the salaries of the city,” Artiga said.

BELL, Calif. (AP) — The City Council in this small, blue-collar suburb of Los Angeles intends to ask three administrators whose salaries total more than $1.6 million to resign or face possible firing. The officials include Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo, who earns $787,637 a year — nearly twice the pay of President Barack Obama — for overseeing one of the poorest towns in Los Angeles County. The others are Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, who makes $376,288 a year, and Police Chief Randy Adams, whose annual salary of $457,000 is 50 percent more than that of Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. Councilman Luis Artiga said the panel planned to request the resignations during a closed-door meeting that was called to consider dismissing the officials. The Bell City Council was meeting late Thursday in closed session, but no details emerged on what was being discussed. A public hearing is scheduled for Monday. Rizzo was hired at an annual salary of $72,000 a year in 1993, and the council rapidly increased that amount over the years. His most recent raise boosted his salary more than $84,000 a year. “All right, somebody was-

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Surprise U.S. Senate nominee Alvin Greene frequently mentions his 13 years of military service, but records obtained Thursday by the Associated Press show that the veteran who has called himself an “American hero” was considered a lackluster service member at best. The records, which document his superiors’ decisions to pass over Greene for promotion, cite mistakes as severe as improperly uploading sensitive intelligence information to a military server, and as basic as an overall inability to clearly express his thoughts and perform basic tasks. Greene, 32, won a surprise victory in the June 8 Democratic primary. Greene handily defeated Vic Rawl, a former lawmaker and judge who had been considered an easy win by the party establishment. Up to that point, Greene had done no visible campaigning and had no website, fundraising or staff.

Too hot for perennials and other answers

Crop is smaller but sweeter here may be no greater tasting fruit than a local, tree ripened peach. Its supreme taste and culinary versatility make over-indulgence of this fruit a common occurrence. Kevin Huffman’s orchard is at its peak, loaded with golden fruit ready for the public. It started out as a good year for many peach growers across the state. Quite often, the crops can be DARRELL sparse with BLACKWELDER few or no peaches some years. Huffman experienced three seasons with no crop. A relatively cold, wet winter, followed by a mild spring provided perfect growing conditions for local peaches. Unfortunately, Mother Nature decided to turn up the temperature in May, which caused the pits to prematurely harden while developing. As the pit of the fruit begins to harden, the flesh of the fruit stops growing. Huffman’s peaches are bountiful, but they are a little smaller than normal. Ironically, Mother Nature’s unseasonably dry weather has helped offset the smaller size with extra sweet and juicy fruits. Hot, dry conditions over the past few weeks have actually made the fruit super sweet and very tasty. A good year for peaches doesn’t necessarily mean they are easy to grow. In fact, peaches are one of the most difficult of all fruits to produce. Peach trees must be continuously sprayed from flowering until a few days before harvest to keep them pest free and prevent fruit rot. Peach brown rot, the most common fruit disease, is rampant during hot, humid conditions often experienced during the summer. Home orchardists complain most about this problem. Brown rot causes the fruit to rot just before harvest. The cost of maintaining this type of spray schedule is enormous. Commercial producers not only have spray costs, but picking, pruning and labor add up to make this an expensive crop.

Peaches may be smaller this year, but the warm dry weather has made them sweeter.

Peaches are ready for eating. The length of the peach season is determined by staggering different varieties. Different varieties mature at different times during the season, providing season-long availability. Huffman has peach varieties maturing from June until August. Pre-picked peaches from the grower often seem to be hard. To soften peaches, place the fruit in a paper bag, fold the top over loosely and keep it at room tempera-

Never use a plastic bag because it may cause decay and can produce off-flavors. Once the fruit is soft or ripe, it can be stored in the refrigerator for a week or more. Never place firm, or unripe, fruit in the refrigerator as it may inhibit the ripening process and can cause the fruit to become

dry, mealy and flavorless. Huffman Peach and Produce Farm is located at 4825 Goodman Lake Road, 1 1⁄2 miles off Bringle Ferry Road, approximately 6 miles from the center of Salisbury. Their hours during the season are from 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Sunday. Contact Huffman by phone at 704-637-6762 or via e-mail at huffrdangs@aol.com. The price of the fruit will vary

depending on quality and size of peach. Winblo and Contender are the most prevalent variety available. Other peach varieties will be available through August.

Below are some questions posed by homeowners over the past few days that may be of interest to other gardeners. Q: When is the best time to divide perennials? I am moving and want to take some of my plants to my new home. A: Perennials such as daylilies, hostas and chrysanthemums periodically need dividing in September. Never divide perennials on hot, sunny days. Wait until a cloudy day, ideally with several days of light rain in the forecast. Q: I have a birch tree that has limbs that get in the way when I mow. Can I prune them now? A: Yes, birch trees can be pruned without damage in late summer and early fall. Light, judicious pruning generally does not kill established trees. Q: I have those large cicada killers boring into my lawn. Is there any insecticide that will kill them and not injure the turf? A: Yes, Sevin dust is deadly to any type of bee. Dusting the soil should kill the insect. Be careful and read the instructions, especially if there are honeybees nearby. Q: My tomatoes are splitting and cracking open at the top. What causes this? A: The cracking is common with spotty excessive rain usually during the heat of the summer. Some of the commercial tomato varieties are resistant, but all will crack under unusual weather. Cracking also occurs when the fruit is allowed to fully ripen on the vine. Q: I have earwigs in my house. Is there bait that can be used to control earwigs indoors? (This was a phone call from Michigan). A: No, to my knowledge there are no baits on the market for earwigs. Focus on cracks and crevices where earwigs might hide. Any indoor treatments should supplement pesticide applications outdoors

ANSWERS since earwigs do not typically become established indoors, other than in areas of high moisture. Insecticidal dusts and residual sprays are effective when applied to baseboards, beneath cabinets and other hiding places at the floor level. Your best alternative if you have indoor insects would be to contact your local pest control exterminator. Applying pesticides indoors may be tricky.

Dear Amy: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wondering how to handle a situation with my mother and stepfather. After a barrage of complaints by my mother about my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infidelity during the marriage, my stepfather said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing that ever happened to your mother was when her first husband died.â&#x20AC;? My father died more than 55 years ago, leaving my

mother and four young children in near poverty. I thought this was thoughtless, and I let them know. My mother knows my siblings and I loved our father dearly. Hardly a day goes by without my still thinking of him. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to ever see my mother and stepfather again. This is the straw that broke the camelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back! They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apologize and seemed to feel we were parting with no hard feelings. Would it be anticlimactic if I wrote and let them know why I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see them again? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Charlene Dear Charlene: It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be â&#x20AC;&#x153;anticlimacticâ&#x20AC;? to send this letter. I assure you, it would be quite climactic. I agree that this was a thoughtless and rude remark. Although you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention the other straws piled up on the camelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back when this particular straw broke it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d urge you to consider writing but not sending your letter. By my math your mother and stepfather are elderly. You might ask them again not to speak ill of your father and give them a chance to apologize and correct their behavior before you completely cut them off.

a visit with the noncustodial parent. If you can imagine the pressure this very young boy is under at both ends of his visits, it might give you insight. He is returning from a home where he is overindulged and may not have a good sleeping or eating schedule. The fact that his mother is sometimes in jail (as you say) means she is erratic; all of this would have a negative impact on this child. Look at the big picture. The childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad should make sure the mother is providing a stable environment for the boy during his visits. All of you should meet with a family therapist to review his behavior during and after visits (your local childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocacy agency should offer mentoring and parenting classes). The motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parenting is lacking (at best), but you and your man can be heroes to this little guy by being the parents he deserves to have.

Dear Amy:: I have been living with my â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant otherâ&#x20AC;? for two years. He has a son with another woman; the boy is almost 6 years old. This child lives with us, but he visits his mom regularly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except when she is in jail. When he is with his mother, there is no structure or discipline at all. She also showers him ASK with gifts and AMY clothes. When he comes back from seeing her, he is rude, mouthy and ungrateful. She does what I refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;guilt parenting.â&#x20AC;? My question is, should there be two separate, complete birthday parties for this child â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one thrown by her and one thrown by us? I say no. I feel she can throw him a party and we can attend or, if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend, we can have a small gift opening with cake and ice cream.

FOR ABC SYSTEMS

State reform Coming to our senses now a reality Government can’t have what it can’t afford ulti-billion-dollar businesses can’t be run efficiently without adequate operational standards. But that is pretty much the way 167 local Alcohol Beverage Control boards were being allowed to function in North Carolina. The General Assembly stepped in and changed that in July. North Carolinians and visitors spend billions of dollars every year on alcohol, whether in restaurants, bars or at the local ABC outlet. The net revenue stream — in other words, the profits — to local governments and the state’s General Fund is about $260 million a year. Yet local boards, as recent scandals demonstrated, were operating with very little state supervision, with few standards for how employees were trained, paid or even hired. ... At a time when local governments are struggling to pay their bills, North Carolina can’t afford such inefficiencies, waste and near fraud. The system must be run with utmost efficiency. We cannot blame the state ABC Commission. It didn’t have the authority to demand better behavior. North Carolina’s post-Prohibition history with regard to alcohol is steeped in the belief that local control is essential. ... But local control can also lead, in some cases, to powerful local forces abusing the system to their own advantage. The new law will allow the ABC Commission to establish statewide performance and training standards. There will be new anti-nepotism rules and local ABC board members will now be subject to the same gift ban that covers state officials. In addition, there will be limits on the salaries and benefits paid to ABC board members and managers. When it comes to reform issues, the General Assembly has a penchant for moving slowly. Worthwhile reform ideas did not make it into the 2010 bill. And, after the approved changes go into effect, it is very likely that some problems will persist. State and local authorities are also likely to find that some of the proposed, but overlooked, changes would have led to more efficient operation across the board. As time goes by, there will be a need for more ABC reform. But, this bill is certainly a good start.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“We are not here to merely make a living. We are here to enrich the world, and we impoverish ourselves if we forget this errand.” — Woodrow Wilson

hey want to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero. And the outrage burns like jet fuel, the argument billows like choking dust, the questions lacerate like flying glass: Is it right, is it decent, is it morally defensible, for developer Sharif el-Gamal of SoHo Properties to build a Muslim worship center called Cordoba House within walking distance of the place where Muslim men, acting from a perverse distortion of their religion, disLEONARD integrated thousands of lives — PITTS Muslim, Christian, Jewish, atheist and, we may presume, others. Sally Regenhard, who lost her son in the Sept. 11 attacks, told The New York Times the idea was “sacrilege.” A man named Scott Wheeler produced an ad accusing Muslims of building the mosque to “celebrate” the murders. Sarah Palin called on moderate Muslims to “refudiate” — presumably she meant “repudiate” — the idea. And then, there is Rabbi Yaakov Thompson. In an opinion piece for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, he accused Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, leader of the group that would worship at the new facility, of taking chutzpah “to a new level,” even though, he added, “I realize that those behind Cordoba House have no connection to terrorism.” That bears repeating. Though he acknowledges the people behind Cordoba House are not terrorists, the rabbi still demands New York tell them no. In so doing, he blithely legitimizes the idea that tribe is destiny, that you and I are each individually answerable for the crimes of those who merely look like, talk like, or pray like, us. That being the case, one wonders how far from Ground Zero the rabbi would think it proper for Muslims to build? A mile? Twenty? A hundred? Or maybe nowhere within the borders of these United States. We should not be without sympathy for those who cringe at the notion of a mosque so near Ground Zero. Memory of what happened there is burned into us all. To put a mosque there would be an unavoidably painful and provocative thing. But the constitution does not carry an escape clause. We do not get to jettison our national ideals just because they cause pain or provoke. To the contrary, that is the time they are most severely tested and most desperately in need of defending. And frankly, we ought to be troubled by the easy conflation of Islam and terror into which we have fallen over the last decade. Yes, we have been helped in that fall by manifold Islamic terrorists, from the Fort Hood shooter to the shoe bomber to the man who left a crude bomb in Times Square two months back. But we have also been helped in that fall by that xenophobic strain that was seemingly born in us and that, at some point or another in history, has caused us to regard Americans of Japanese, German, Iranian, Irish and French descent with the same suspicion and scorn we now reserve for Muslims. But this blanket antipathy is now, as it was then, antithetical to what we claim to believe as Americans. How shameful was it that candidate Obama had to keep reassuring voters he wasn’t a Muslim and that no one — not the candidate, not the pundits — thought to say the obvious: What if he was? Are Muslims not Americans, too? Is that what we’re saying now? Yes, I fear terrorism. But I find I fear even more what my country has become in response to it — a nation where a “rabbi” (!) can blandly condemn someone, not for his own crimes but for the crimes of some of his tribesmen. So yes, putting that building in that place might be painful and provocative, but it would also be a reminder of the very values the terrorists sought to kill. And we seem to need that reminder more every day. They want to build a mosque two blocks from Ground Zero? Let them. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald.

n another country also called America, there were no credit cards and excessive debt was seen as a character flaw. In that America, my grandparents and their parents had discussions when they wanted to buy almost anything. The conversations focused on two questions: can we afford it and do we need it? If the answer to either question was “no,” they didn’t buy it. CAL So much of THOMAS our personal and public debt in modern America comes from a refusal to ask these questions. We don’t need much of what we have and we certainly can’t afford it. But we buy it anyway. The recession may be forcing us to come to our senses, however reluctantly. A Wall Street Journal headline on July 19 could be interpreted negatively, but to me it is a positive: “Cities Rent Police, Janitors to Save Cash.” The gist of the story is that increasing numbers of cities are outsourcing some of the most basic functions of local government because they can no longer afford to provide them. This has the potential of reducing costs, improving efficiency and reducing the size and reach of government. What’s not to like? Why do local governments need to pick up trash, run libraries, or even enforce laws if the private sector can do it just as well, or better, and at less cost to taxpayers? Unions are one reason and control by

politicians is the other. The senior policy adviser to the mayor of San Jose, Calif., Michelle McGurk, is quoted in the Journal story: “These are cases where the question is being asked, ‘Is this a core service at the city level?’ “Faced with a $118 million budget deficit,” writes the Journal’s Tamara Audi, the city of San Jose dropped its custodial staff and hired “outside contractors to clean its city hall and airport.” Estimated savings: $4 million. Maywood, a tiny city southeast of Los Angeles, is dismissing its entire staff and contracting with outsiders to perform all city services, including the police. A major reason for the police layoff was a decision by the city’s major insurance carrier to cancel coverage because of the high number of lawsuits against the Maywood Police Department, which amounted to $21 million in legal expenses and judgments. “Without insurance, Maywood is prohibited from hiring people who work directly for the city.” What if this practice were to catch on in other cities? It would surely boost employment in the private sector, as more businesses would take over services now performed by government. Politicians are probably not going to like this much because it will likely erode their power and perks. But taxpayers should love it because it means saving money and there will be fewer excuses for not reducing taxes. British Prime Minister David Cameron is on a similar track, proposing “a mass transfer of power from the state to the people,” as the

LETTERS Don’t ditch dairy foods from diet yet I am writing in response to the July 18 article “Milk allergies, an increasing problem.” As a registered dietitian with expertise in dairy nutrition, I want to clarify a few points regarding milk allergies and lactose intolerance for your readers. First and foremost, I was disappointed to read the quote that pediatricians and nutritionists are “rethinking milk, at least for those whose optimal health depends on avoiding it.” This is inaccurate. Dairy foods are and will continue to be critical to good health. Dairy’s role in a healthy diet has long been established by nutrition and health professionals, including the American Dietetic Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The overwhelming support of dairy foods among the scientific community is clearly embodied in the dietary guidelines, which recommend three servings of low-fat and fat-free dairy foods daily. As mentioned in the article, a cow’s-milk allergy is a reaction to the protein in milk and does require eliminating dairy foods from the diet. It is important to note that cow’s milk allergy develops in approximately 2 percent of infants and young children and is even rarer in adults. If you suspect that you or your child is allergic to dairy, consult with your physician. In contrast, lactose intolerance is the sensitivity to lac-

London Telegraph characterized it. Localities would be asked to run bus services, set up broadband Internet networks and take over recycling duties, among other tasks. A recent Washington Post series underscored the problem of government waste, especially at the federal level. In what was formerly known as “the war on terror,” the story tells of a hodgepodge of many overlapping agencies and redundant work: “The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.” Many Americans may not understand the inner workings of government, but they understand waste and duplication. Government claims it can’t afford to cut anything, but it never asks us if we can afford (or want) to pay more taxes. Republicans and conservatives might wish to campaign on a promise to streamline government by outsourcing work government has no business doing if it can be done better and less expensively in the private sector. The unions won’t like it, but those of us paying the bills will. So, too, would my grandparents and their parents. • • • Cal Thomas writes columns for Tribune Media Services.

tose, a natural sugar in milk. It is rare in young children and if it occurs it is later during adolescence or adulthood. Lactose intolerance does not equal dairy intolerance. With a few simple strategies, people can enjoy the health benefits of milk. Natural aged cheeses are low in lactose and yogurt with active cultures can help the body digest lactose. In addition, lactose-free milk provides all of the health benefits of regular milk. Milk remains America’s No. 1 source of calcium, potassium and vitamin D.

Local race has national impact The recent federal census will be the basis for allocation of the U.S. House of Representatives when the redistricting issue is approached in Raleigh in 2011. The election of Harry Warren (Republican) along with others will assure that the current gerrymandered 12th Congressional district is in a

more equitable alignment. No district should encompass parts of six counties that often have little commonality on issues. This greatly misaligned district was created for keeping a Democrat in Washington. The only way to correct this problem is to assure that the N.C. House of Representatives obtains a balance for making the districts reflect the community as a whole, not just segments. Harry Warren will help determine who controls the balance in Washington, as redistricting is the key in this mid-term election. Harry is a conservative Republican with family values, an excellent work ethic and many other attributes that will make him an excellent representative for the people of N.C. House District 77. Your local vote will have implications beyond Raleigh. Making the correct choice, Harry Warren, can and will affect who goes to Washington. Harry Warren cares about the voters in the district, as he will work for jobs, fair taxes, education and ethics reform. This mid-term election is one where a local state vote reaches all the way to Washington. Vote for Harry Warren for N.C. 77. — Ben Lynch Salisbury

Brown pelicans try to balance on an oil boom near Martin island in st. Bernard parish, La., as crews found scores of dead birds and a number of live birds suffering from the effects of spilled oil at the deepwater Horizon well.

26,000 square miles of Gulf reopened to fishing NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The government is allowing commercial and recreational fishing again in roughly one third of the waters it had closed because of the BP oil spill. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the area that reopened Thursday is 26,388 square miles of federal waters in the Gulf. The administration said that since midJune, no oil had been found in the area. NOAA also says fish caught in the area and tested have shown no signs of contamination. Meanwhile, engineers have grown so confident in the leaky cap trapping oil inside BP’s crippled well that they will leave it closed and unwatched if a tropical storm that formed Thursday forces them to flee, the government’s spill chief said. Barring another setback — and the threemonth operation has been filled with them — crude should never again gush from the infamous well. Tropical Storm Bonnie, which blossomed over the Bahamas and was to enter the Gulf of Mexico by the weekend, could delay by another 12 days the push to plug the broken well for good, retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen said. Even if it’s not a direct hit, the rough weather will push back efforts to kill the well ALLEN by at least a week. “While this is not a hurricane, it’s a storm that will have probably some significant impacts, we’re taking appropriate cautions,” Allen said in Mobile, Ala. The number of dead birds collected on the Gulf Coast has more than doubled in the past month as oil continues to wash up on islands and beaches. Officials say 2,599 dead birds had been collected on the Gulf Coast as of Thursday. A month ago, 1,046 dead birds had been collected, according to official counts.

Judge hears arguments over immigration law in Arizona PHOENIX (AP) — A judge held two hearings in a courtroom packed with spectators and top Arizona officials on whether the state’s new immigration law should take effect amid a flurry of legal challenges against the crackdown. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer attended the second hearing, as did the U.S. Attorney for Arizona, Dennis Burke. Judge Susan Bolton did not issue a ruling. The afternoon hearing focused on the U.S. Justice Department requesting a preliminary

injunction blocking key sections of the law from taking effect next week.

More apologies, even from the president, for fired ag worker

Senate Democrats give up on comprehensive energy bill

WASHINGTON (AP) — Flooded with apologies from everywhere, Shirley Sherrod got the biggest “I’m sorry” of all Thursday — from a contrite President Barack Obama, who personally appealed to the ousted worker to come back. Sherrod, who was forced to resign on Monday because of racial comments she made at an NAACP gathering, was asked by Obama to rejoin the federal government and transform “this misfortune” into a chance to use her life experiences to help people, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. SHERROD Obama had stayed out of the public brouhaha that followed Sherrod’s ouster from the Agriculture Department after a conservative blog posted a clip of the black woman’s comments and portrayed her as racist. Once it became clear that the speech in question was advocating racial reconciliation, not racism, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack apologized and offered her a new job. Gibbs also apologized publicly “for the entire administration.” Obama spoke by phone with Sherrod and said he hoped she would accept Agriculture’s offer of a new position, Gibbs said. He added that Obama thought Sherrod was “very gracious.” Sherrod said she hadn’t decided whether she would accept the invitation to come back, but she did accept the apologies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Democrats have given up plans for an energy bill that would cap greenhouse gases, abandoning a priority of President Barack Obama. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said no Republican was willing to back a comprehensive energy bill, a development he called “terribly disappointing.” Democrats have been trying for more than a year to pass a plan that charges power plants and other large polluters for their heat-trapping carbon emissions, which contribute to global warming. The House voted 219-212 last year for a “cap and trade” plan featuring economic incentives to reduce heat-trapping gases from power plants, vehicles and other sources. Republicans slammed the bill as a “national energy tax” and jobs killer. Moderate House Democrats who voted for the bill, particularly freshmen from Republican-leaning districts, are among the GOP’s top takeover targets in the November election. In recent weeks, Senate Democrats floated a more modest approach that would limit the carbon tax to the electricity sector. That plan, which drew support from the White House, was never formally proposed.

Panel charges N.Y. lawmaker with ethics misdeeds; trial next WASHINGTON (AP) — A House investigative committee charged New York Rep. Charles Rangel with multiple ethics violations, dealing a serious blow to the former Ways and Means chairman and complicating Democrats’ election-year outlook. The panel did not immediately specify the charges against the Democrat, who has served in the House for some 40 years and is fourth in seniority. The charges by a fourmember panel of the House ethics committee sends the case to a House trial, where a separate eight-member panel of Republicans and Democrats will decide whether the violations can be proved by clear and convincing evidence. The timing of the announcement ensures that a public airing of Rangel’s ethical woes will stretch into the fall campaign. Rangel led the tax-writing Ways and Means panel until he stepped aside last March after the ethics committee criticized him in a separate case.

BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (AP) — A homeowner in his underwear chased down and tackled one of four teens who rang his doorbell and fled in a late-night prank called “ding dong ditch,” leading to charges against the homeowner but not the boy. The teen was bloodied by the takedown. The homeowner, Daniel Van Plew, and the boy’s family disagree over the amount of force used and about where the tackle occurred, which could make a difference under the laws that define self-defense. Van Plew, 37, told police in the upscale suburb south of New York’s capital that he was preparing to go to bed shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday when four teenagers pounded on his back door, rang his front doorbell and then ran. Van Plew said he feared for the safety of his two children and his wife. He chased after the teens, caught the 14-year-old and then made him wait in his home while he called police. The teen suffered a cut on his elbow, a bruise over his eye and a bloody lip, according to the police report. “There’s no winner in this kind of a thing, right? It’s just a bad deal,” Van Plew told WCBS-TV. Van Plew caught the boy on his property, according to a police report, but the boy’s father told a newspaper that the boy was tackled off the property. New York’s self-defense laws give people more leeway when defending themselves on their own property. There is also a discrepancy between Van Plew and the father over how much force was used. The boy’s father told the Times Union of Albany that Van Plew pinned his son’s arm behind his back and threatened to kill him if he tried to escape. Van Plew, a pharmaceutical executive, has been charged with endangering a child and harassment.

RHINEBECK, N.Y. (AP) — Two Norwegian journalists face trespassing charges after they were arrested snapping photos of the New York estate where Chelsea Clinton is expected to get married. Thomas Bjorn Nilsson, 43, of New York, and Kjerste Sortland, 41, of Snorova, Norway, were charged with a violation after they were stopped around 2 p.m. Wednesday on the Astor Estate in this picturesque town along the Hudson River 90 miles north of New York City, according to Maj. Michael A. Kopy of the New York State Police. Media reports indicate Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, will marry investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday, July 31, at the estate.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Ten Republicans on Thursday entered the race for the U.S. Senate seat held by the late Robert C. Byrd, joining a field where West Virginia’s popular Democratic governor is seen as the front-runner. John Raese, an industrialist and media owner, and recent U.S. House candidate Mac Warner are the best known among the GOP hopefuls. Gov. Joe Manchin and two other Democrats filed their paperwork earlier this week. The Republicans filing Thursday include a substitute teacher’s aide also running for the state Legislature, and a California man who attracted 44 votes in the party’s 2008 New Hampshire presidential primary. The parties will hold Aug. 28 primaries before the Nov. 2 general election. The candidate filing period ends today. U.S. Senate candidates must be residents of the state they wish to serve by Election Day. November’s winner will serve the two-plus years that would remain in Byrd’s term and take over from Sen. Carte Goodwin, Manchin’s Democratic appointee to the seat. Goodwin, 36, was sworn in Tuesday and has said he does not plan to run. Manchin, a centrist who won his second term with nearly 70 percent of the vote, was the first candidate to file on Tuesday and is generally seen as the front-runner. But he must first prevail against primary rivals Ken Hechler, 95, a former congressman and secretary of state, and ex-Republican state lawmaker Sheirl Fletcher. The GOP’s Raese has unsuccessfully waged three prior statewide campaigns, including two for the Senate. The 60-year-old’s wealth could aid his candidacy. He pumped $2.2 million of his own money into his failed 2006 Senate bid, his most recent.

Pair of Falcons help stop skid

Jones, Braves pound Padres

Staff report

BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

West Rowan graduates Eli Goodson and Timmy Pangburn helped the Falcons run their active winning streak to 30 games. Goodson, a defensive lineman, and Pangburn, an offensive lineman, also had a hand in ending a brief skid. Representing the West, they contributed to a 22-7 victory in the East-West All-Star Game at PANGBURN Jamieson Stadium in Greensboro on Wednesday night. Tavis Bailey (A.L. Brown) and Zach Long (Davie County) were also members of the winning team.

ATLANTA — Chipper Jones is getting that 1995 feeling again. Braves 8 Jones, the Atlanta Braves’ Padres 0 last link to their World Series championship team, says this year’s squad boasts similar strengths and balance. The latest proof was the Braves’ series win over San Diego in a matchup of first-place teams. Tim Hudson dominated San Diego again, Alex Gonzalez capped his first homestand in Atlanta with four hits and the Braves beat the Padres 8-0 on Thursday. Bret Strelow/SALISBURY POST

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Davis ends silence BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

DURHAM — North Carolina coach Butch Davis says an NCAA probe into potential rule violations in his football program came “out of left field.” In his first public comments on the investigation, Davis said Thursday the school is cooperating with the NCAA and that his program follows DAVIS its rules. A person familiar with the investigation says the NCAA is looking into whether two seniors received improper benefits from agents. Defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little are the focus of the probe, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the investigation is confidential. Davis refused to answer specific questions about the case, saying that the NCAA instructed the school to limit its public comments. “It certainly kind of came out of left field,” Davis said after a luncheon featuring area coaches. “I don’t think anybody speculated any of this stuff was going to potentially happen. But it is what it is. ... Our players were unbelievably cooperative, and we’ll get through this as quickly as possible.” The probe became public about a week ago after NCAA investigators visited the campus in Chapel Hill. It has been part of a series of similar investigations at defending national champion Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. “I know we take a great deal of pride in doing things ethically, honestly,” Davis said. “I know the feedback that we’ve gotten is we’re doing everything we can to educate our young people about all kinds of things that have to do with collegiate athletics.” The probe has also prompted the North Carolina Secretary of State’s office to begin its own investigation about potential misconduct involving agents. The state requires sports agents to register in North Carolina and prohibits them from offering gifts before a contract is signed. Violations of North Carolina’s agent laws can lead to criminal or civil penalties.

Head coach Chip Hester and the Catawba Indians hope to bounce back from a disappointing 2009 season. The Indians went 1-6 in the SAC.

Catawba picked seventh in SAC Staff report

League coaches picked Catawba’s football team to finish seventh in the eight-team South Atlantic Conference. The SAC released its 2010 preseason poll Thursday, and favored Carson-Newman received five first-place votes. Wide receiver Brandon Bunn, defensive lineman Brandon Sutton, linebacker Cory Johnson and linebacker Lakeem Perry made the preseason All-SAC first team from Catawba, which totaled 17 points. Sixth-place Lenoir-Rhyne, which received one first-place vote, had 28 points. Eighthplace Brevard, which will play its

2010 home games at Asheville High School, had 15 points. Carson-Newman returns eight starters from a team that reached the Division II semifinals in 2009. Wingate had two first-place votes and was second in the voting, followed by Mars Hill, Newberry and Tusculum. Newberry’s new mascot is the Wolves. Catawba is coming off a season in which it went 4-6 overall and finished last in the SAC with a 1-6 mark. Bunn had 12 touchdown catches, and Johnson recorded a team-leading 69 tackles. Perry was next with 65, and Sutton made 18 stops behind the line of scrimmage.

The 6-foot-4 Charest, who will have three years of eligibility remaining, is the older brother of incoming Catawba freshman Nate Charest. Both were standouts at Butler High School in Matthews. Scout.com ranked Jacob Charest as the nation’s 23rd-best quarterback in the class of 2008, and he played in four games last season as a redshirt freshman for the Fighting Illini. He left the team in early June, with homesickness reportedly playing a role. Charest is one of 43 players on Catawba’s list of newcomers. Livingstone transfer Chris Peoples, a 6-5 tight end from Mooresville, is one of six other July additions.

Blue Bears with room to grow under James Staff report

See DAVIS, 3B

Tight end Grayson Downs, long snapper D.J. Davis and defensive back Jumal Rolle were picked to the preseason All-SAC second team. The Indians also return starting CHAREST quarterback Patrick Dennis, and they’ve added Illinois transfer Jacob Charest. Dennis, who is expected to start in 2010, shared time with North Carolina transfer Cam Sexton early last season and ended up throwing for 1,519 yards. He had 14 touchdowns and six interceptions.

Defensive back Alkeem Deloatch had 93 tackles last season.

Livingstone’s football squad, led by first-year coach Elvin James, has been picked to finish last in the CIAA’s sixteam South Division. The Blue Bears were selected 12th overall, one spot ahead of league newcomer Lincoln (Pa.). Voting results were announced Thursday during a kickoff luncheon at Virginia State, and Livingstone senior defensive back Alkeem Deloatch was

named to the preseason All-CIAA team. Deloatch had 93 tackles last season and led the CIAA with an average of 9.3 per game. He also had one sack, one interception and three forced fumbles. The Blue Bears were winless in 2009, and the school hired James in December. Fayetteville State, the 2009 champion , was picked to beat out Shaw for the South Division title and win the league. Bowie State is the North Division favorite.

East Rowan’s Brian Hightower has been named North Carolina Baseball Coaches Association Coach of the Year. East went 31-2 and won the 3A state championship. East was the first Rowan County high school team to win 30 games in a season. Hightower is 135-41 in six seasons at East.  The Post received information on Wednesday that East third baseman Noah Holmes and South Rowan shortstop Maverick Miles were named to the NCBCA All-State team, and the full squad was made available on Thursday. See Scoreboard. Holmes and Miles were firstteam picks, as was East relief pitcher Will Johnson. The junior southpaw was 7-0 with five saves and an ERA of 0.52. He closed the season with a streak of 221⁄3 scoreless innings. Four of Johnson’s wins came in the playoffs. He pitched in each of East’s 11 last games and didn’t allow a run in his last nine appearances. East senior pitchers Parker Gobbel and Thomas Allen were named to the NCBCA All-State second team. Allen was 8-1 with a 1.88 ERA and 71 strikeouts despite a forearm injury that shortened his season to 56 innings. Gobbel was 10-0 with three saves.

He had an ERA of 2.10 and posted 68 strikeouts in 531⁄3 innings. One of Gobbel’s wins came in the opener of the 3A state championship series. Allen signed with UNC Pembroke. Gobbel is headed to Catawba Valley Community College.  East Rutherford’s Drew Reynolds was named NCBCA Player of the Year. Chapel Hill’s Tuc Fisher was named Comeback Player of the Year.

 Minor leagues Chattanooga’s Jerry Sands (Catawba) hit his ninth homer for the Lookouts and 27th of the season on Thursday night.  The Kannapolis Intimidators lost 3-1 to Greenville on Thursday. Ian Gac had three hits and produced the only RBI for Kannapolis. Daniel Wagner (South Rowan) had two hits for the Intimidators and scored his team’s lone run.  Whit Merrifield (Davie) had five hits in his first two pro games for Burlington (Iowa), but he’s 0-for10 in his last three games.

 Parnell update Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) pitched a scoreless eighth inning for the New York Mets on Wednesday, but the Mets eventually lost to Arizona in 14 innings.

Polanco gives Phils a victory Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Placido Polanco homered leading off the 11th inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies survived another poor offensive showing with a 2-0 victory that ended the St. Louis Cardinals’ eight-game winning streak and averted a four-game sweep. Cole Hamels allowed one hit in eight innings, a solid single by Matt Holliday leading off the fourth, in 91-degree heat and high humidity. Four relievers, including Chad Durbin (2-1) did not allow a hit over the final three innings to finish the one-hitter. Brad Lidge worked the 11th for his eighth save in 11 chances. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright missed a chance to match Colorado Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez as the majors’ lone 15-game winners. Marlins 3, Rockies 2 MIAMI — Ronny Paulino hit the winning single with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning to send the Rockies to their fifth loss in seven games since the All-Star break. Pinch hitter Emilio Bonifacio hit his first triple of the year to start the bottom of the ninth against Jhoulys Chacin (5-8), and Paulino brought him home after two intentional walks. Florida’s Josh Johnson struck out 11 in 61⁄3 innings and allowed only one run, on a homer by Ian Stewart in the second inning. Johnson lowered his ERA to 1.61, best in the majors. Colorado tied the game in the eighth, but Leo Nunez (4-2) struck out the side in the ninth. Nationals 7, Reds 1 CINCINNATI — Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer off Edinson Volquez, who had a rough time in his second start since elbow surgery, and the Nationals earned a fourgame series split. Volquez (1-1) dominated Colorado last Saturday in his return from reconstructive elbow surgery. He had control problems this time, giving up six runs in only 21⁄3 innings. Livan Hernandez (7-6) allowed seven hits during his second complete game, getting his first victory since June 21. He also singled home a run off Volquez. Brewers 3, Pirates 2 PITTSBURGH — Yovani Gallardo came off the disabled list and pitched six shutout innings for Milwaukee. Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks both homered for the second time in the series for the Brewers, who allowed a combined 26 runs in losing the previous two games. Gallardo (9-4), named to his first All-star game the day he sustained a left oblique strain in St. Louis on July 4, did not allow a runner to advance past second base. He gave up five hits and a walk, striking out five. Gallardo has won nine of his past 11 decisions and improved to 6-1 with a 1.80 ERA with 69 strikeouts in 60 innings in 10 career starts against the Pirates.

John Axford retired the final five Pirates for his 13th save in as many opportunities. Ross Ohlendorf (1-8) allowed one run, five hits and a walk with one strikeout in six innings. AMERICAN LEAGUE Tigers 5, Blue Jays 2 DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera started a three-run eighth inning with an RBI double, and Justin Verlander settled down after a rocky start to go eight innings. Verlander (12-5) struggled the first two innings but ended up allowing two runs and eight hits. He walked two batters in the first inning but didn’t issue another base on balls. Yankees 10, Royals 4 NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez hit his 599th home run, Derek Jeter had an inside-the-park shot on a strange night in the Bronx. Jorge Posada had a go-ahead double and a bizarre throwing error that cost New York a run and put Yuniesky Betancourt on second after striking out. But the Yankees rebounded to help CC Sabathia (13-3) win his ninth straight decision. Rodriguez, who had four RBIs, hit a solo homer to right field in the seventh inning, putting New York ahead 6-4 and leaving him one shy of becoming the seventh major league player to reach 600. The slugger came up again with a chance for No. 600 in the eighth. He smacked an RBI double and was pulled for a pinch runner. Jeter’s deep drive in the third off Bruce Chen (5-4) settled in center fielder David DeJesus’ glove, but he ran into the padded fence with his arm extended in front of him. His glove and wrist twisted back and the ball popped out as DeJesus fell. Rangers 3, Angels 2 ARLINGTON, Texas— Cliff Lee pitched into the ninth inning to beat fellow All-Star Jered Weaver, and Texas edged Los Angeles to give the AL West leaders a six-game lead over the second-place Angels. Lee (9-4) allowed five hits, struck out four and didn’t walk a batter over 81⁄3 innings in his third start since he was acquired from Seattle in a sixplayer trade July 9. Neftali Feliz got two outs for his 26th save. Weaver (9-6) gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings with five strikeouts and two walks. Twins 5, Orioles 0 BALTIMORE — Carl Pavano pitched a five-hitter for his careerbest seventh straight victory and Minnesota beat the incensed Baltimore Orioles. Pavano (12-6) struck out four and walked one in his fifth complete game of the season and 12th of his career. The right-hander is 7-0 in nine starts since June 3. Orioles first baseman Ty Wigginton, pitching coach Rick Kranitz and interim manager Juan Samuel were all ejected in the seventh inning. It was a rare show of emotion for the team with the worst record in the majors.

Spurrier: Saunders says he did nothing wrong Associated Press

HOOVER, Ala. — A party on Miami’s South Beach and sports agents were once again hot topics at the SEC media days, with South Carolina and Georgia taking center stage on Thursday. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said tight end Weslye Saunders told him he did nothing wrong during his trip to South Beach; Georgia receiver A.J. Green insisted he’s never even been to Miami. The party at Club Liv in the Fontainebleau hotel in May has been the subject of investigations by the NCAA and several schools, including defending national champion Alabama and North Carolina. Saunders “went with several players on a trip to Miami,” Spurrier said Thursday. “I guess the question is, who paid for it? Who paid for what they did while they were there? When the investigation is finished, I guess we’ll find out about all the guys. I’ve talked to him briefly. He told me he’s done nothing wrong. We’ll let it play out.”

DAVIS FROM 1B Secretary of State Elaine Marshall has assigned three investigators and said her office has put out notices asking people not to destroy evidence or documents. She said the office can’t punish athletes, but plans to talk to them about their conduct. “We are focusing on athlete agents and anybody who gave these young people things of value — such as trips or parties or food, women, whatever it might be,” she said. Davis briefly referenced the NCAA investigation when addressing the audience at the preseason football luncheon, which also featured Duke coach David Cutcliffe, East Carolina coach Ruffin McNeill, North Carolina Central coach Mose Rison and North Carolina State

BRAVES FROM 1B “This team, the more I look at it, reminds me of the ’95 team,” said Jones, who had three hits. “You don’t have guys leading the league in any category, but you have evenly distributed production up and down the lineup. More often than not, the teams with that kind of production are going to win a lot of games.” Gonzalez had hits in his first four at-bats to give him a streak of hits in six straight at-bats over two games, four shy of the Atlanta record. “It felt good,” Gonzalez said. “I feel like part of the team. We’ve got to keep going.” He struck out in the eighth to end the run but still has hits in six of seven games since coming to the Braves in the July 14 swap of shortstops that sent Yunel Escobar to Toronto.

Green, coach Mark Richt and the other Georgia players were under NCAA instructions not to comment on the investigation, which was disclosed Wednesday evening. Green, the Bulldogs’ star receiver, told reporters at the media gathering that he hadn’t been to Miami — ever. Beyond that, he said: “It’s not my place to comment on it, and I don’t feel I need to.” Richt told reporters of investigators that “we’ll see what they gather.” SEC officials twice warned that Georgia representatives wouldn’t talk about the probe. Alabama is looking into Marcell Dareus’ trip to the party around the time of his mother’s death on May 18. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban, the former Miami Dolphins coach who Wednesday compared the actions of unscrupulous agents to the behavior of a pimp, wants the NFL and the NFL Players Association to punish rogue agents with suspensions. Spurrier, who coached the NFL’s Washington Redskins, was more subdued when asked if he agreed with that. “I think they ought to be a little bit more active and help out in that regard,”

he said. “As coaches we do all we can to tell our guys the rules — you can’t accept anything from boosters, agents or whoever. But it’s hard to watch them all the time. “It’s a little bit of a difficult situation, but sometimes you’ve just got to trust your players to know the rules and wait until after their final game before they take the money. If you can get through your senior year .... you can accept all the dough they want to give you. But you have to wait until your eligibility is over. That’s what we all try to teach our guys.” Arkansas’ Bobby Petrino, a former Atlanta Falcons coach, said it was “wishful thinking” that the players association and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell can solve the problem for the college ranks. “We have to worry about what we can control, our education, our continuing to work on the decision making, the understanding of what’s right and what’s wrong, not try to think that somebody else is going to handle it for us,” Petrino said. NFLPA assistant executive director George Atallah said the group takes “violations of NFLPA rules by agents seriously and investigate them vigilantly.”

coach Tom O’Brien. It even offered a moment of levity after McNeill — who is preparing for his first season in Greenville after Skip Holtz left for South Florida — compared the past few months to a whirlwind. “You think Ruffin would like to trade whirlwinds?” Davis quipped, drawing laughter from the crowd. Still, the NCAA investigation couldn’t come at a worse time for Davis, who is preparing for his fourth season in Chapel Hill. He has guided the program to consecutive eight-win seasons, which includes the program’s first back-to-back bowl seasons since the late 1990s when Mack Brown left for Texas. The Tar Heels are expected to contend for the ACC’s Coastal Division title behind a defense that returns nine starters from a unit that ranked among the nation’s best last year. Austin — a 6-foot-3, 310-pound tackle — was pro-

jected as a high draft pick before opting to return to school for his final season instead of heading to the NFL. Little became the team’s top receiver last season, coming up with 20 catches for 315 yards and two touchdowns in the final three games. He finished with a team best 62 catches for 724 yards and five scores. Losing either — let alone, both — would be a blow for the Tar Heels as they prepare for their opener against LSU in Atlanta on Sept. 4. Davis said his staff has done everything it can to instruct its players on what is permissible. “It’s no different than being a parent,” he said. “You can teach your children, you can talk to them, and lessons that aren’t learned, you continue to teach those lessons. We’ve got good kids at North Carolina. ... We’re going to continue to work hard to do everything right.”

Even after Gonzalez drove in two runs with the four hits, his defense made the biggest impression on his new team. “Watching Gonzalez play shortstop the last few days has really been special,” said manager Bobby Cox. Jones said Gonzalez is “all about defense.” “He’s the Ozzie Vizquel, Ozzie Smith-type shortstop,” Jones said. “I know that’s lofty praise, but that’s how much I think of him.” Hudson said Gonzalez “has been a breath of fresh air on the field and in the clubhouse.” Hudson (10-5) allowed only four hits in seven scoreless innings. He is 5-0 in nine career appearances against the Padres, including two wins this season. By winning two of three from the Padres, the Braves claimed an edge over San Diego (55-39) for the best record in the National League.

The Braves have lost only one of their last 21 series since May 10, going 16-1-4 in that span. “They’re a very good team,” said Padres starter Clayton Richard. “When they have an opportunity, they take advantage of it.” The Braves’ only loss in the series came on Wednesday, when closer Billy Wagner blew a 4-2 lead in the ninth. “We should have swept,” Jones said. “We know it. They know it.” Gonzalez drove in Jones with a single in the first inning Thursday, and his double to center field drove in Matt Diaz in the third. He had a triple and a single in his last two at-bats of Wednesday night’s 6-4, 12-inning loss to the Padres. Jason Heyward had two hits and drove in two runs. He was 7 for 15 in the series. The Braves led 4-0 before adding four runs in the sev-

enth off Ryan Webb. David Ross had a run scoring-double and, with the bases loaded, pinch hitter Eric Hinske was hit by a pitch on his left foot to force in another run. Hinske left the game with a bruised left foot. X-rays were negative. Cox said he hopes Hinske will be able to play Friday at Florida. Heyward and Jones drove in runs with infield hits. The Braves scored two runs in the first off Richard (7-5). Heyward drove in Melky Cabrera in the second after Cabrera’s double. Richard gave up nine hits and four runs, three earned, in six innings. “He couldn’t get into a rhythm early,” said Padres manager Bud Black. “He couldn’t get any one pitch going that he could count on.” Adrian Gonzalez, who was 0 for 6 with four strikeouts on Wednesday night, was 0 for 11 in the series before his single

Age spots on those with dark skin Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 50year-old light-skinned black female with dark spots on my face. My doctor says they are age spots. I have never smoked or consumed alcohol, nor have I ever worn makeup. Is there any over-thecounter product that is affordable you might recommend? Dear Reader: Liver spots, also known as age spots, are common in who DR. PETER people are over the GOTT age of 40 and in those who may have had chronic sunlight exposure without protective sunscreen. The spots are harmless and do not require treatment. They typically appear on light-skinned people but can affect anyone. Exposure to ultraviolet light speeds up the production of melanin, the dark pigment in the outer layers of skin that give it color. Additional melanin is what creates the darker color, primarily in Caucasians, known as a tan. When melanin clumps into higher-than-normal concentrations, age spots appear. What many of us fail to realize is that people of African descent are as susceptible to sun damage as are fairskinned Caucasians. If you are put off by the appearance of the spots, start with a referral to a dermatologist. There are several treatment possibilities. Prescription creams that bleach the

skin might fade the spots over a period of several months. There are many choices from which to choose and this is the least expensive therapy, depending on how often the cream is applied and how dark the spots are. In order for treatment to be successful, the cream or lotion must penetrate through the top layer of skin where the excess pigment is located. This method of treatment might take weeks or months before progress is seen. Beyond creams and lotions, cryotherapy applies a freezing agent such as liquid nitrogen to the spots, breaking up the areas that contain the excess pigment. Laser therapy, while expensive, can destroy the excess melanocytes that created the darkened areas of pigment. There is no damage to the surface of the skin with lasers, and results are apparent over a period of several weeks or months. Chemical peel involves applying an acid application to the outer layer of the skin where the age spots appear. The skin then peels, new skin forms, and the spots are no longer present. Dermabrasion sands down the surface of the skin with a brush that rotates rapidly. Again, this removes the surface skin, a new layer grows, and the spots disappear. This process may leave temporary scabbing and redness. To avoid future age spots, protect your skin — primarily that on the backs of your hands, face, shoulders and upper back — with a sunscreen applied about a half-hour prior to exposure. Then reapply

it in a timely manner according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Wear protective clothing when out of doors that might include a wide-brimmed hat, longsleeved shirts and long pants. Should any of your lesions change in color, enlarge, raise or modify in unusual ways, be sure to return to your physician for evaluation because skin cancer can develop from long-term sun exposure.

ers to find that card for him. After ruffing at the first trick, South played a spade to dummy, ruffed a diamond, returned to dummy with another trump, and ruffed the last diamond. Finally, he cast adrift with a club. The defenders took three tricks in the suit, but what then? If they shifted to a heart, it would find the queen for South. If instead they led a minor-suit card, declarer would ruff in one hand and discard a heart from the other. In either case, he would be provided with his 10th trick. The fictional character was Sherlock Holmes, who has been used as a character in bridge stories, most notably by Frank Thomas. He would have made a good bridge player, as long as he could keep it sensibly simple for his partners, especially Dr. Watson.

You can surely guess which fictional character said this: “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” South’s three-spade overcall showed a decent seven-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. At favorable vulnerability and with a void, he might have even jumped to four spades. North then raised to four spades, hoping for the best. (North’s trumps were great, and he had two aces and two kings, but his 4-33-3 distribution was a negative.) West led the diamond queen. How did South plan
