Crime numbers up from last year

The Junk man

Salisbury Police see murders decrease BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

The Salisbury Police department has seen an overall increase in crime in the first half of 2011, despite zero murders. According to a statistics report from Salisbury Police, the department has had 373 more larceny charges from Jan. 1 to Jun. 30 than authorities had in the same 2010 time frame. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said the rise in larcenies can be attributed to the cost of metal. “We have experienced a great deal of metal thefts,” Collins said. “Those are classified as larcenies in our reporting.” Collins said copper thefts have not been targeted to one specific area, but the police department has located suspects after discovering patterns. “Whenever we see a pattern of some sort, we use that intelligence to design a project to help catch those suspects,” Collins said. The department has had an almost 20 percent overall crime increase compared to last year, with 2,054 offenses since January. But the department has not recorded a murder so far in 2011. In 2010, there were four murders by the end of June. “The most significant offenses like murders, assaults and personal attacks are actually down,” Collins said. “We want to protect people and property, but I think it’s a good day when we keep people from getting hurt as best we can.” Collins said he’s “thrilled” to have had zero murders this year and that he hopes it remains.

John Junk, award-winning NASCAR crew chief, has opened a race-car and hot-rod fabrication shop at 1411 S. Salisbury Ave., where he hosted a cruise-in for 70 cars this summer. He also builds metal furniture.

Race car fabricator also modifies hot rods, builds furniture BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

PENCER — John Junk’s been doing two things for as long as he can remem-

ber. Racing cars and correcting people. It’s not “Junk.” It’s “yunk.” “That’s OK,” Junk says goodnaturedly after yet another mispronunciation of his last name. “Everyone does it.” An award-winning NASCAR crew chief who helped Alan Kulwicki clinch the Rookie of the Year championship in 1992, Junk talks fondly about his first race car. The coaster car didn’t have an engine, but it didn’t need one to give him a thrill. “When you’re 6 years old, you’re going 500 miles an hour,” he said. The love of speed and racing led to a career in NASCAR that has spanned 22 years and 300 cars, with no end in sight. At age 61, Junk’s busier than ever. He moved BodyCraft, his race car fabrication business, from Mooresville to Spencer about 18 months ago. In the old Southern Implement building at 1411 S. Salisbury Ave., Junk not only fabricates race cars and modifies hot rods but designs and builds high-end furniture from reclaimed wood from old Southern barns, vintage metal signs and found objects. Prices range from $100 to $2,500. You can see pieces in his shop and High Point showroom, as well as www.stellageorgedesigns.com. His family encouraged the sideline into furniture after Junk began making stunning but practical birthday gifts

Stella George table made from the side panel of an old PepsiCo cooler. John Junk hasn’t decided if he's going to sell this one yet. Watch the video “JOHN JUNK” Go to www.salisburypost.com from leftover metal in his shop — mirrors, frames, chandeliers, candelabras. With their help, he launched his line last year, dubbing it StellaGeorge Designs after the quirky nicknames daughters Sasha and Haley gave their mom and dad when they were little. They still call Junk “George” and Kathy Hansen “Stella.” The furniture business will supplement the race-car work, which has suffered with the introduction of the Cars of Tomorrow, Junk said. “The evolution of NASCAR has almost eliminated small independents like me,” he said. “It’s made it very difficult to stay in business.” Hot rod modification, featured prominently in the shop, also supplements race car fabrication. The move to Spencer fulfills a lifelong goal, Junk said, “to

end up in an old building with a hot rod shop and sit around with a bunch of guys lying to each other about old cars.” He hosted a cruise-in in June that attracted 70 cars. He may hold another in October. Lots of people have asked. Walking into the building, which dates to the 1940s, is like stepping into another decade. Rare signs surround hot rods in various stages of modification. Oldies play on a radio. There is no computer, no air conditioning. “This is old school,” said Junk, smiling behind his thick moustache. “I like it clean and simple.” He designs only with pencil and paper, both race cars and furniture. Each high-performance aerodynamic race car body, each hot rod modification, each table, potrack and chandelier, is done by hand. His “science experiment,” as Junk calls it, is a 1988 Caprice Classic station wagon converted to a two-door hot rod with a hand-fabricated hood scoop. His first truck, a 1984

Chevy C-10, stands nearby with Cadillac taillights, Volkswagen door handles and roll pans instead of bumpers. “I love his new shop. It’s amazing,” daughter Sasha Junk said. “It fits his personality. It’s a perfect fit for everything he wanted to do.” Junk was working as a construction contractor in Ohio when he decided to change careers. The family moved to North Carolina, the home of NASCAR. Within a few years, Junk was Kulwicki’s crew chief. “I respect and admire him very much for following his dream,” Sasha Junk said. “A lot of people don’t necessarily act on their dreams.” Both parents encouraged Sasha and sister Haley to pursue their passions, Sasha Junk said. Both daughters traveled extensively before Haley, a surgical OR nurse, settled in Cornelius and Sasha landed a job as vice president of marketing for KidsBop in Manhattan. Junk and Hansen have restored two historic homes, both featured on OctoberTour — 313 Thomas St. and 414 W. Bank St. Sasha Junk likes to say Stella and George never met a project they didn’t love. Junk said he’s drawn by the craftsmanship and character of old cars and old houses. “I’m not nostalgic or a history buff,” Junk said. “But I like to preserve things of aging value. “I hate seeing cars crushed and I hate seeing old buildings destroyed. We can never replace them.”

No debt deal yet: GOP, Democrats ready rival plans WASHINGTON (AP) — With bipartisan talks stalled, House Republicans and Senate Democrats readied rival debt-limit emergency fallback plans Sunday in hopes of reassuring world financial markets today that the U.S. government will avoid an unprecedented default in barely a week. Late Sunday, House Speaker John Boehner summoned rank-and-file conservative lawmakers to be ready to back a compromise that is “going to require some of you to make some sacrifices.” He said the new legislation, which he was expected to unveil as early as this morning, would cut federal spending, raise the government’s borrowing authority and be able to clear both houses of Congress, according to one official familiar with his remarks on a conference call. Yet officials also said the plan would call for far less than the $6 trillion in cuts contained in legislation the House passed and the Senate rejected in the past week. Separately, President Barack Obama spoke by phone with Boehner during the day, and separately met with the two top congressional Democrats at the White House in a highly unusual Sunday evening conference. Neither Obama nor Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., nor House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California spoke to reporters when that session ended. The events unfolded in a crisis atmosphere — in a sweltering city swarming with summertime tourists — a little more than a week before an Aug. 2 deadline for action by Congress to raise the government’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. Without legislation by that date, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering a default that could have severe consequences for the U.S. economy and the world’s, too. Officials — and many stockholders —

One challenger against incumbents in Rockwell aldermen race BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

ROCKWELL — Rockwell citizens may see minor changes in local government with just one challenger running against five incumbents for aldermen seats and Mayor Beau Taylor running unopposed. Challenger Chris Stiller will try to unseat one of the five candidates running for re-election in November’s election. In a released statement, Stiller wrote that this is a “very opportune time for me to seek a seat on the Rockwell Town Board since I have a strong desire and the time, since retirement, to serve

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

my community.” Stiller noted that he will aim to keep taxes “as low as possible,” and will work to keep town departments and operations efficient and cost-effective. The five aldermen incumbents include Charles Wingerson, Chuck Bowman, Tim Draper, Eric Moore and Timothy Crews. Wingerson has more experience than any other candidate, with 14 years on the board, and wrote in a statement that his experience is one of his reasons for running.

“(The town) needs experience on the board in these challenging times,” Wingerson wrote. One of the popular aims for candidates is a continued revitalization of the downtown area. Moore, who has served on the Rockwell Downtown Revitalization Committee and as vice chairman of the Rockwell Planning Board, wrote in a statement that the downtown area will be a priority. “(My priorities are) to serve

YESTERDAY: Store-sponsored bowlers A downtown fire in 1964 destroyed the Underwood and Oestreicher-Winner stores in Salisbury. Harvey Underwood sponsored a ladies bowling team at Woodleaf Lanes that same year. Out of a dozen teams in the “Bowlettes” bowling league, the Underwood women came in first, and each lady received a trophy. Underwood also received a sponsor’s trophy to place in his store, but after the fire, there was no store. This picture shows Underwood and the team standing in front of the burned-out building in May 1964. Left to right are Ruby Plowman, Dot Gudger, Underwood, Sallie Torrence, Brenda Benson and Pat Floyd. Some of the ladies from the Bowlettes league still meet every Tuesday at K&W Cafeteria for lunch to talk about yesterday.

Making a healthy meal and snack plan strengthens willpower Q. The past couple of columns, I really feel you gave me the tools to start a healthy eating regimen. Now I just need the willpower, any suggestions? A. I wish I could sell it to you in a bottle. Actually, the weightloss industry is making billions of dollars to sell the latest pills, shakes, powders and so much more to help you stay on a plan or assist with weight loss. And, when you read each one of them, they mention to eat sensibly and exercise. Wouldn’t that alone make you lose weight? When it comes ESTER down to it, it’s all MARSH about eating a balanced diet. And for weight loss, eat fewer calories and exercise. Easy, right? We wish. Eating the correct foods and making sure you are not eating more calories than you burn is the hardest thing to do for anyone in the Western world. An abundance of foods readily available, the conveniences of drive-thru everything, lots of food at any gathering you participate in. Boy, a disaster ready to happen. So first, stop beating yourself up for not having the willpower. Start telling yourself you do have it. Your chance of success is so much better when you start telling yourself, and eventually believing, you have the willpower. And when you really start believing that, the mind can do amazing things. Positive reinforcement works a lot better than negative thoughts, comments and feelings.

Make a plan (you can use myplate.gov again) each week for your breakfast, lunch and dinners. If you like snacks, choose snacks that are nutritious for you. Watch your calories and exercise, exercise, exercise. When you go shopping with your prepared list, make sure you have eaten a satisfying meal. I can tell a huge difference when I am hungry and I go grocery shopping. Lots of not so healthy snacks and more food purchased than I had on my list. Also, why torture yourself by buying foods you know you have a problem resisting when the willpower is down. I consider myself someone who has enough willpower to eat foods that my body needs and say “no” when it doesn’t need more. But even I will buckle at the knees when my favorite forbidden foods are in the house! I am telling you, I can hear that cheese cake calling my name all day long. Long enough to eat it until it is gone. Knowing your weakness is a weapon you can use to strengthen your willpower. Don’t put yourself into situations when you pretty much know you will lose the battle. And there is nothing wrong with the rest of the family making better choices when eating. Just because someone is skinny does not mean they are healthy. Plan your meals; take your list to the grocery store, don’t buy the foods you know you are not being able to resist and you are on your way to willpower! And when you fall of your “willpower” wagon…. climb back on.

Raleigh sets record, hits 100 5th straight day RALEIGH (AP) — Raleigh’s heat wave has broken a record. The National Weather Service says North Carolina’s capital city reached 100 degrees Sunday for the fifth day in a row. Previously, the longest 100degree streak was three days. That record was originally set in 1983 and matched in 2008. Much of central and eastern North Carolina remained under heat warnings and advisories until Sunday night. Forecasters say Monday should bring some relief, with temperatures in the area not expected to exceed the mid-90s.

FLOWER POWER

Salisbury resident, Clyde Harris, cultivates immaculate garden

ALISBURY — Clyde Harriss’ corner of the world off Briggs Road is perfect, even on a wilting July day. A crushed-brick gravel driveway leads to his charming house, set in the woods. Harriss designed the home himself 25 years ago, and builder Lonnie

MARK WINEKA

Goodman added the perfect porch with its two

skinny columns several years later. Harriss likes visitors to notice the ancient, massive oak tree in front — which, for him, was one of the big attractions to this 2.5 acres. Long ago, he fashioned a shade garden around his house, which thanks to the wooded backdrop, always seems to be protected from the sun. But Harriss also has his place in the sun — a place where other flowers thrive. “This is the perennial garden,” he says walking into a perfect world of color closer to the road. In the 15 years since Harriss sold his Greendale Nursery and retired, he has stayed busy with the Rowan Rose Society and as a dedicated tutor-trainer for the Rowan Literacy Council. But retirement also has given him time to develop a perennial flower garden striking for its balance. Everything seems to be where it should be. Even today, old customers still walk up to Harriss in the grocery store and tell him they miss his nursery, which was located off Mooresville Highway near the Rolling Hills Golf Club. Little do they know that he has used retirement to keep his love for flowers alive — on his own turf. “I thought I’d indulge myself,” he says, laughing. He strolls by daylilies past their bloom and some Annabelle hydrangea, whose snow-white flowers are finished. “You should have been here,” Harriss laments. But color explodes everywhere else — on the roses, butterfly bushes, goldenrod, blackberry lily, blue salvia, persicaria, black-eyed Susans, helianthus, crocosmia, melampodium, Chinese beautyberry, the crape myrtles and phlox. Don’t forget the phlox. Harriss advises anyone with a flower garden to provide plenty of places for phlox of all colors — purple, pink, white and lavender, for example. They bloom for a good two months, he says. Harriss likes the gracefulness of variegated grasses. He also finds room for ground cover such as liriope. He says to look for contrasts. Evergreens such as pines and all manner of spruce provide the dark stage for his flowers, making their colors more vibrant. “I think flowers show up pretty if there’s some kind of background,” Harriss says. Other advice: Anything blue goes with roses, because there are no blue roses.

Clyde Harriss breaks into a chuckle as he walks through his garden at his home on Briggs Road.

p A ‘Sexy Rexy Rose’ in the garden. t Harriss has a ‘Flawless Rose variety’ in his rose garden next to Black Eyes Susans.

Harriss has about 150 roses between his rose garden on one side of the driveway and the perennial garden on the other. Another suggestion: “I think gardens benefit from a water feature,” Harriss says, “but they’re a lot of trouble, I tell you.” In the central, open area to his perennial garden, Harriss has a small fountain and pond as one spoke to an axis. Directly opposite is a homemade gazebo/trellis, a handy framework for climbing plants. He provides what he calls “intimate aisles” in other parts of his garden. The walking paths are well-tended grass, providing more balance. It’s a “cool” contrast, he says, to the “warm” color of his driveway.

Harriss tends to his gardens on each side of the driveway almost every day. Sometimes the maintenance takes two to three hours. Other times, he might be in the yard all day. The work consists of dead-heading, pruning, trimming, fertilizing, watering, weeding and keeping plants upright and collected with rebar, wood stakes and string. “There’s no end to it, but it’s a labor of love,” Harriss says. “It sure is fun to take a shower at the end of the day,” At 82, Harris figures the manual labor is good for him. “If being active helps,” he adds. Harriss resists naming a favorite flower, other than to tip his hat to roses in general, because they come in so many varieties and sizes. He can name — and spell — the names for any of his flowers, but

those for roses stand out: Betty Boop. Sexy Rexy. Summer Fashion. Champagne. Eden. Ballerina. Graham Thomas. Doris Morgan. China Doll. The Dark Lady. Heritage. John Dixon. Every January, it’s fun for Harriss to go through all the catalogs looking for new flowers. He will introduce new plants — “there’s always something you want to add to your collection,” he says — but he has to find an appropriate spot. Starting a whole new garden is out of the question. He describes it as a “no more room in the sun,” dilemma, and Harriss isn’t going to make space by cutting down trees. Harriss often uses the word “pretty” or some variation of it as he talks about his flowers. Is this the prettiest his garden has ever been? “Every year, I think it looks the prettiest,” he answers. The butterflies, bees and birds seem to agree. It’s perfect for them. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263, or mwineka@salisburypost.com.

Six hospitalized in Wetmore Road head-on collision B Y M ARK W INEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

WOODLEAF — A head-on collision between passenger cars on Wetmore Road early Sunday evening sent six people to area hospitals. At press time Sunday night, the N.C. Highway Patrol was still investigating. The wreck occurred about 6:45 p.m. and involved a Hyundai traveling north toward N.C. 801 and a Ford going south toward Potneck Road. Preliminary reports indicated the Ford crossed the center line and hit the Hyundai head-on. Four passengers from the Hyundai and two from the Ford were injured. EMS units from Rowan and Davie counties transported victims to Rowan Regional Medical Center.

One of the injured was airlifted by helicopter to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in WinstonSalem. Woodleaf Fire Department responded with several pieces of equipment, and firefighters were able to free the Hyundai’s driver, who was pinned in the vehicle. The scene of the accident was about a mile from N.C. 801. After the collision, the red car settled sideways in the road, while the Hyundai was pushed onto a grassy bank. The Highway Patrol expected to retrieve more information and identities of the injured at the hospitals. It appeared as though air bags deployed in both vehicles.

DEAL FROM 1a were holding their breath to see how the uncertain situation would affect financial markets in the U.S. and around the world as they opened after the weekend of crisis negotiations. Several officials said leadership aides spent Sunday trying to produce a compromise that could quickly clear both houses of Congress. There were numerous suggestions of progress — both Boehner and Reid now support plans without immediate increases in government revenue — but no announced compromise. Similarly, the precise elements of the rival fallback plans were sketchy. Republican officials said Boehner envisioned an in-

crease in the nation’s debt limit of about $1 trillion and slightly more than that in federal spending cuts, with the promise of additional progress on both sides of the ledger if Congress can agree. Democratic officials said Reid was at work on legislation to raise the debt limit by $2.4 trillion and reduce spending by slightly more. Unlike the House GOP approach, his plan would guarantee a large enough increase in borrowing authority to ensure no recurrence of this month’s crisis until after the 2012 elections. That is Obama’s stated precondition for a compromise. Yet any sum that large would require either cuts to benefit programs that aides said Reid preferred to leave untouched, or savings from the Pentagon, possibly by assuming the end of the wars in Iraq

and Afghanistan. The White House was largely consigned to a spectator’s role on a weekend that began with Boehner’s decision to call off talks with Obama. Asked what the administration’s plan was to avoid default, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said, “Our plan is to get Congress to raise the debt ceiling on time.” The state of play veered between bipartisanship and brinkmanship on an issue of immense economic consequences. Despite hours of compromise talks in the Capitol, lawmakers’ aides had so far been unable to agree on a two-step plan that would satisfy Obama’s demand for a large enough increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until after the 2012 elections. White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley said anything short

Collins also ordered the construction of the P.I.T. team as part of the department’s change. “In March of this year, we implemented a reorganization in the department,” he said. “The P.I.T. team, police interdiction team, is a team of officers who almost everyday are being extremely aggressive in gang and street crime activity.” Collins said the community’s involvement has played a large role in helping decrease vandalism. “ I give credit to the comandy mooney/SaLISBURY POST munities that call us when they see something that’s not The crime numbers for the ﬁrst half of 2011 have risen from right,” he said. last year.

Abdominal fat reducer provided to Hollywood stars by famous plastic surgeon now available to public By John Whitehead, Media Services

ABDOMINAL AREA WITH EXCESS FAT

ABDOMINAL AREA WITH FAT REDUCED TO IDEAL LEVELS

Fat in the abdominal area is different than fat in the rest of the body. It is difficult to reduce and is hazardous to health. Abdominal fat produces destructive hormones that spread throughout the body. There are 2 types, outer fat and intestinal fat. Dr. Frank Ryan, famous plastic surgeon to the Hollywood stars, was featured on television and in magazines across the nation on an extensive basis. Before he died in a tragic car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway near his ranch in Malibu, Dr. Ryan fulfilled his lifelong dream of developing a line of products which would substantially improve personal appearance without plastic surgery. This product line, which includes an advanced abdominal fat reducer was previously only available to Dr. Ryan’s clients. It has now been made available to the public.

Stubborn fat around intestines reduced

Scientific Double Blind Clinical Study of Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer Commissioned by Advanced Supplement Research and conducted by a research group which has an expert staff consisting of more than 32 board-certified physician investigators and more than 38 ACRP certified clinical research coordinators. This group conducts clinical studies for the major drug companies. Test subjects did not exercise or diet. Were given daily dosage of Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer or Placebo. Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer group experienced 5 times reduction in fat mass, 4 times reduction in BMI at 4 weeks, 4 times greater weight loss at 4 weeks, 2 times reduction in waist circumference and nearly a 50% decrease in calorie and carbohydrate intake.

cial effects to CLA that help decrease the future storage of fat.” “CLA interferes with an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL). LPL is an enzyme that helps store fat in the body.2 So, by inhibiting this fat-storing enzyme LPL, CLA can help reduce the re-accumulation of fat.” “CLA also helps the body use its existing abdominal fat for energy, thereby increasing fat oxidation and energy expenditure.” Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer also contains other super highly advanced all-natural ingredients that help reduce abdominal fat. Studies have shown that Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer ingredients increase the rate of fat metabolism, which reduces both surface and intestinal abdominal fat and helps inhibit future formation of these abdominal fats.3, 4, 5 One of these ingredients is a very high quality and potent extract of green tea. This extract is EGCG, which has been shown in clinical studies to dramatically and quickly increase calorie burning which helps to quickly reduce abdominal body fat.4 These ingredients start working in 20 minutes to increase calorie burning, which is the first step to reducing the pot belly. Dr. Ryan’s other products include topicals, which reduce wrinkles and tighten saggy skin without plastic surgery. People who order Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer will have access to these highly advanced products used by the Hollywood stars. Klingaman stated, “The ingredients in Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer are very expensive.

An advanced line of products produced by famous Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan is now available to the public. Previously these products had only been available to Dr. Ryan’s clients which included Oscar winning Hollywood movie stars and celebrities across the nation. These products substantially improve personal appearance without plastic surgery. Dr. Ryan, perhaps the most famous Hollywood plastic surgeon in recent times, was extensively featured on television and in magazines across the nation. Dr. Ryan was also one of the first professional staff members of Endless Youth and Life which provides products and services that make celebrities look and perform many years younger than their age. On August 16, 2010 Dr. Ryan died in a tragic car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway near his ranch in Malibu. It was Dr. Ryan’s wishes that Endless Youth and Life would make his advanced non-surgical product line available to the public in the future. Endless Youth and Life is now complying with Dr. Ryan’s wishes. The first product being offered to the public is Dr. Ryan’s most popular non-surgical personal appearance enhancement product, Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer. Abdominal fat is the most stubborn fat to reduce and it is also the most hazardous fat to health. Abdominal fat produces destructive hormones that spread throughout the body. A clinical study has shown that Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer can reduce your pot belly without changing your diet or physical activity. A double blind clinical study was conducted on Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer. The study was commissioned by Advanced Supplement Research and used a research group which has an expert staff consisting of more than 32 board-certified physician investigators and more than 38 ACRP certified clinical research coordinators. This group conducts clinical services for the major drug companies. The test subjects in the study lost significant weight and reduced their pot belly without changing their diet or physical activity. People who were not exercising or dieting lost weight and pot belly as well as those who were exercising and dieting. In addition, the study showed that Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer significantly increased calorie burning so that you lose weight faster or you can eat more food without gaining weight. And, the study found that the all natural Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer pill produced weight loss safely. How does Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer work? Paul Klingaman, Executive Director of Endless Youth and Life explained. Klingaman revealed, “It was found in a number of research studies on laboratory animals and later confirmed in human studies, that a substance called Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) decreases abdominal body fat in three ways: 1.) CLA decreases abdominal body fat mass by decreasing the amount of abdominal fat that is stored after eating; 2.) CLA increases the rate of fat breakdown in abdominal fat cells; and 3.) CLA increases the rate of abdominal fat metabolism which decreases the total number of fat cells. You can think of CLA as a match that lights the fuse in abdominal fat. This fuse also increases metabolic rate that can result in more fat loss. Dr. Frank Ryan’s Abdominal Fat Reducer contains the effective dose of CLA. Klingaman said, “There are also a number of other benefi-

The Monday forum

“The truth shall make you free”

MURDOCH SCANDAL

My Turn: Bruce La Rue

Another blow to journalism T

his used to be a noble profession. Still is, to tell you the truth. To hear an editor debate whether a story is fair to some deplorable individual most would consider unworthy of the effort or to watch a reporter rush toward danger to tell a story that needs telling is to be unalterably convinced of the honor in this work. But even in the saying, you LEONARD brace for the derision and scorn PITTS — according to Gallup, the public ranks journalists between auto mechanics and lawyers in terms of ethics — that will surely follow. There are several reasons. One is the work of Stephen Glass, Jayson Blair, Chris Cecil and other fabricators and plagiarizers who have besmirched the profession in recent years. Another is the trend toward an ideologically balkanized media that leaves many people thinking journalistic integrity is a synonym for “that which validates my worldview.” And yet another is the diminution of professional standards such that any fool with a video camera and an axe to grind now calls himself a journalist. Now comes the implosion of media baron Rupert Murdoch’s empire in the wake of revelations that reporters at his British tabloid, News of the World, paid police sources for information and hacked into people's voice mails, including those of a missing 13-year-old girl. The 168-year-old paper ceased publication a few days back, but that has hardly been the end of it. To the contrary, the scandal is spreading like spilled ink. Thus far, there have been nearly 20 arrests and resignations. In a hearing Tuesday before a British parliamentary committee, Murdoch pronounced himself humbled. There are rumbles of hearings before Congress. The FBI is investigating, amid allegations that the hacking included families of 9/11 victims. News Corp., the company through which Murdoch owned News of the World, along with Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and half the known media universe, has seen its value plummet. All these skeins to unravel, yet your humble correspondent feels himself stuck at square one, unable to get beyond the simplest and most basic wrong of all the wrongs here: Journalists are not supposed to do these kinds of things. I feel unbearably credulous in saying that, but it needs saying. Yes, I get that nobody should do these kinds of things. But the point is, journalists are theoretically guided by certain ethical strictures. One avoids conflicts of interest. One does not plagiarize. One does not buy information. And one does not hack the voice mail of a missing child. Indeed, one abides by a litany of constraints, which, while they may sometimes compromise expedience, one accepts because they also protect integrity. Of course, that was then. We live in a faster and more furious now, wherein standards are more flexible than Mr. Fantastic, niceties like fairness are regarded as Victorian relics and the end justifies even the most unseemly means. Now here comes the latest ruinous result of that thinking, the latest black eye for a profession that is already punchdrunk, the latest insult to our image of ourselves as practitioners of a noble craft. Now here come the derision and the scorn. You can call that hurtful; you can call it harsh; you can call it unfair. But can we really still call it undeserved? • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. Email: lpitts@miamiherald.com.

Don’t be caught short if asked about Rowan’s industries Last week, I got caught with my pants (figuratively) down! I was helping a church event that brought folks from all over North Carolina by manning a “traffic control” point at Jackson and Fisher streets. My task was to direct visitors to parking areas at and around the church. It was hectic at times as visitors slowed to ask about parking and local traffic was forced to slow or stop. One visitor walked up to me and asked why someone would want to move to Salisbury. I hesitated as I sought a “brilliant” answer. The man seemed impatient, and traffic was whirling; my mind was also whirling and I said, “Oh ... it’s a nice place to raise a family; we have many recreational facilities and a nice family park called Dan Nicholas Park.” He asked about industry. Caught off guard, I said, “We really don’t have a lot of industry ... er, a few light industries.” He walked on, as I scolded myself for being a lousy Rowan County salesman! (BTW, same fellow asked my wife that question a little further down the block; she wisely told him about Food Lion as he walked on.) Don’t you get so caught and short-sell our great county. As a reminder (if my mental gymnastics serve me well) ... think: Food Lion corporate HQ/distribution center; Power Curbers; Cheerwine; Livingstone and Catawba colleges; Hood Seminary; F&M Bank HQ; Hitachi Metals; VA Medical Center; great farms; Intimidators baseball; SupplyOne (innovative packaging); and Freightliner. In my rush to sound the alarm, I surely left out several institutions/industries that make Rowan County. My apologies to them, but we all should store several of these in our minds, and always “be prepared” to sell our fine county. — Ty Cobb Jr. Rockwell

facts. I do not like taxes any more than the next person, but like going to the doctor or dentist, they are a necessary evil. Although I can’t speak for all departments, I know most operate in an open fashion, meaning they do not hide their finances. Anyone can feel free to go to their department and ask questions at any time. Except for those within a town or city, they are run by a board of directors. My department’s make-up is two-thirds non-firefighters which generally means citizens who have no connection to the department other than living in the district. All have annual meetings at which they present, among other things, their financial reports for the years. Also, if people read their newspaper, they will see stories where local departments receive local, state and federal grants. They do not hide these from anyone. The use of these grants is usually very restrictive, and many require matching funds. As for local operating expenses, the cost to run the average department is enormous. When my department first began 50 years ago, it purchased a new truck and a station siren for $11,000. You cannot outfit three firefighters in turnout gear and breathing equipment, as required by law, for that amount today. Call loads have increased tenfold or more from the early days, and there are fewer volunteers to handle daytime responses, necessitating the hiring of paid personnel during these times, again resulting in increased department costs. Mr. Ward, I suggest you research all the facts before stating your opinion in the future. — Mike Shue Salisbury

nce again, the Mt. Ulla broadcast tower controversy has reared its ugly spire. On the surface, it appears to be a simple case of the preservationists versus the evil, greedy broadcasting mogul, with property owners in the middle. I believe there is something much more critical at stake than simply keeping our skies free from this allegedly dangerous eyesore. It is easy to take the side against a tall tower. No one except Gig Hilton — who apparently graduated from the Joe Biden School of public speaking — actually likes towers. I have to believe that even the property owners are not all that giddy about the prospect of a giant radio tower rising up from their little piece of God’s country that is Mt. Ulla. Statistically, if not literally, nobody who lives in this part of the world wants to see the tower. Personally, I dread the specter of a tall tower piercing the sky about a mile to the Bruce La Rue west of our humble lives in Mt. Ulla. abode. I dearly love sunsets, one of God’s most beautiful and irreproducible works of art placed on display for an unworthy audience on a regular basis. I also marvel at moonsets and the occasional appearances of Mars and Venus, but they will not be the same with the distraction of blinking red lights. The tower may not be directly in the line of sight of my beloved sunsets. I am guessing that it likely will loom off to the left a bit. The point is, I will have to deal with this metal monstrosity for my remaining days, as will my neighbors. Yet, as much as I detest the idea of a tall tower in our bucolic little township, I am more concerned about the continued assault on individual property rights. Over the years we have heard horror stories about abuses of eminent domain, as well as property owners denied the opportunity to earn an honest living from their own land, often by environmentalists who are able to convince regulatory agencies and judges that the well-being of some jumping rat is more important than the right of an individual to farm his own soil. In the case of the Mt. Ulla tower, mostly well-meaning preservationists are battling to preserve our pristine skies. One problem with this noble quest is that the area is riddled with towers of various heights. There is a tall tower north of Cleveland, and another off Patterson road between Millbridge and Landis. As for the eyesore argument, one could offer tours of quaint, rustic eyesores throughout the township. If they are old enough, some eyesores may even fall under the scrutiny of the preservationists. So let it be with the tower. They have loosed the straw dogs on Hilton and the Parkers, owners of the property where the tower would stand. The arguments concerning danger to airplanes and damage to the appearance of the Mt. Ulla skyline are mostly pretext. I suspect something else is at play. Something political this way comes. Pilots have to adapt to changing conditions, just as we townspeople can adapt to a sky interrupted. We should not adapt to a clear infringement of the Parkers’ property rights. We do not live in a gated community with codes and covenants enforced by a well-meaning tribunal which calls itself the homeowners association. We live in the country. That’s where they put towers. A family has an opportunity for a monthly income that would come from a private sector enterprise, not from fellow taxpayers. Had I been offered such a deal, one which would help provide financial security for my family in perpetuity, I would have jumped at the chance. I will miss my unobstructed sunsets. I dread the tower, but it’s not about me. It’s not about pilots or preservationists. It is about the sort of individual property rights for which the early American patriots fought and died. It is part of that whole freedom and liberty thing, for which many courageous Americans have fought and died. Let us not let the sun go down on our property rights.

ATWELL TOWNSHIP â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Buddy Edwards, a well-known produce man in these parts, planted his watermelon patch April 13, and he took great care to fertilize and water the Carolina Cross seeds. Once the melons started to appear, Edwards covered some of the bigger ones with bags or mesh, so they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blister in the sun. His version of sunblock, if you will. A few weeks ago, Edwards realized his patch was growing a whopper, the biggest watermelon he had ever produced. He knew he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to pick it up when it was ready, so last Thursday he gave that honor to young Justin Waller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stout, like I used to be,â&#x20AC;? Edwards says. As he hauled it up toward the house, Waller guessed the melon weighed 130 pounds. But when they put it on the scales, it came in at 144 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the size of a healthy middle-schooler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just had a green thumb with that one,â&#x20AC;? Edwards concluded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would make a nice fruit basket, wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? But it would cost too much to fill it up.â&#x20AC;? Edwards has a notion to enter his watermelon in the contest sponsored by Goodman Farm Supply in China Grove. He says this melon is in the class of those grown in the past by Homer Overcash. Hearing Sunday that Edwards had a 144-pounder, Overcash was impressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He might want to enter that thing,â&#x20AC;? Overcash said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $100 prize.â&#x20AC;? Back in 2007, Overcash grew a watermelon that weighed 170 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; out of the same variety of seeds. It was on display for three weeks at Goodman Farm Supply and then for a week at the Rowan County Fair, where it won all the prizes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And it was good, too,â&#x20AC;? Overcash says of the big watermelonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flavor. The crazy thing about 2007, Overcash says, was that he had 13 watermelons that year coming in at 150 pounds or more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were huge,â&#x20AC;? he recalls. Overcash didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plant any watermelons this year, after he had problems last year with coyotes. Yes, coyotes like watermelon. Edwards, who lives off Wright Road, says he also had issues with coyotes in years past, but it has helped having his patch closer to the house this season where a German shepherd dog keeps watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coyotes are bad just to rake over the top of them,â&#x20AC;? Edwards says, adding they always seem to go after the ripe ones, too. Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 144-pound watermelon grew for 98 days. It was the lone melon on its vine, and Edwards says his only secret was good fertilizer and lots of water. He had another melon that came in at 114 pounds, among several in the patch that were more than 100 pounds. Edwards definitely plans to save the seed from the big one, hoping he will catch some magic again. Edwards lives in the house he was born in 73 years ago. He has 40-plus acres, but leases a good portion of the land for soybeans. For his produce stand, he grows mostly sweet potatoes, green beans, okra and watermelon. Most Saturdays you can find him set up at the Winecoff Road farmers market, and regular customers know to stop in at his house for produce, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here most of the time,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like it. It keeps me going.â&#x20AC;?

Rowan stays alive

Rowan County lefty Matt Laurens was the starting pitcher in the game with Morehead City. Rowan eliminated the tournament host team by a score of 11-7 on Sunday.

Legion team rallies past Morehead BY RYAN BISESI rbisesi @salisburypost.com

MOREHEAD CITY — On Saturday, it was one home run that killed Rowan 11 Rowan. Sunday, Morehead 7 Rowan’s opponent hit five on their host field in an elimination game, but Rowan was the team dishing out the hard luck. Baseball is, indeed, a funny game. Morehead City, the host Rowan County’s Will Sapp was safe at second after running into Morehead City’s Tyler team from Area II, hit five Brewer. Rowan advances in the N.C. Legion state tournament with one loss.

Alomar, Blyleven and Gillick become Hall of Famers COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Roberto Alomar stared at the adoring crowd and was nearly rendered speechless, the tawdry episode of his stellar career long since forgotten. Bert Blyleven was more composed but moved nonetheless as he stared at his 85year-old Yankees top the mother and A’s on West reminisced Coast trip, 3B about his late father. Both men were inducted on Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame along with front-office guru Pat Gillick. Speaking first in his native Spanish, Alomar, the third Puerto Rican player to be enshrined, along with Orlando Cepeda and Roberto Clemente, said he felt proud

to be a Puerto Rican. “I always played for my island,” Alomar said, dozens of Puerto Rican flags blowing in a gentle breeze on a sunny afternoon. “It is a true blessing to be able to share this moment with all of you. I have you in my heart. I am standing here today because of the fan support. “To my family, to my fans, to all the Puerto Rican people ... and the game of baseball, you are and will always be my life and my love.” The switch-hitting Alomar won a record 10 Gold Gloves at second base, was a 12-time All-Star and a career .300 hitter. Full of baseball smarts and grace, he’s also linked with one of the game’s most forgettable moments — he spit on umpire John Hirschbeck during an argument in 1996. The two have long since

home runs to accumulate all its scoring, but a six-run sixth inning for Rowan gave it the lead for good in an 11-7 triumph to keep its season alive in the state tournament. Rowan (25-9) will face Cherryville at 7 tonight on Day 4 of the tournament. Legion baseball fans will see their share of odd scores and unusual plays, but a team hitting five out was almost always a sure thing until Sunday. “It was crazy,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “Matt

Laurens had given up six or seven hits at one point and five of them left the park. Luckily, there weren’t a bunch of men on base when they hit them.” Some Breezy weather one had to helps batters find break the offensive the fence, 5B showcase, a n d Bradley Robbins stepped up.

NEW YORK (AP) — A vote on a settlement to the lockout is what every NFL fan wants. Nobody is sure when that might happen. The players’ executive committee will meet today in Washington after lawyers have worked through the weekend on issues that are holding up an agreement with the owners. Several people with knowledge of the meeting have told the Associated Press that no vote to recommend a deal is certain. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the players association has not revealed its plans. Owners approved a tentative agreement to end the four-month lockout on Thursday. But the players said they need more information before they can vote, and took issue with portions of the proposal. Several players only saw that full proposal late Saturday. Should the players’ executive committee vote to accept

the deal, it then would go to the 32 team representatives to approve. After that, some 1,900 players would need to vote, with a simple majority required for passage. The 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ lawsuit against the league — including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — must officially inform the court in Minneapolis of their approval of the pact, too. Players also will need to vote to re-establish the NFLPA as a union; only after that happens could a full collective bargaining agreement be reached. But training camps and preseason games could occur while the sides put the finishing touches on a deal. Only after the NFLPA is again a union can it negotiate such items as the league’s personal conduct policy and drug testing.

Rowan takes on Cherryville From staff reports

Tune in those radios to WSTP-1490 or WSAT-1280 tonight around 6:30 p.m. First pitch is set for 7 p.m., as the Rowan County’s American Legion team takes on Cherryville in the state tournament in Morehead City. Rowan has played three thrillers in a row, beating Wayne County and Morehead City and losing in 10 innings to Wilmington. Cherryville is competing without one of its top players, .370-hitter Thomas Bess, a UNC Asheville basketball signee who has hoops commitments, but Post 100 is still in the driver’s seat in the tournament after beating Wilmington 4-2 late Sunday night. Cherryville is the only unbeaten team in the event. Cherryville demolished Morehead City and shut out High Point in its first two games. Rowan, Wayne and Wilmington are the other teams still alive with a loss apiece. Hickory and Cary were ousted from the breezy tourney on Saturday, while Area III champ High Point and host Morehead City were eliminated on Sunday. The original brackets would’ve had Rowan playing Wayne County at 3 p.m. today, but adjustments had to be made as Rowan and Wayne had already met in the tournament. Wayne is now set to play a 3 p.m. elimination game against Wilmington.  The state champion moves on to play in the Southeast Regional in Sumter, S.C., on Aug. 4-8.  The state tournament will return to Deal Stadium in Granite Falls next summer. Caldwell County Post 29 is the host team. Deal Stadium was the site of the first double-elimination state tournament in 2000.

 Major leagues Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) had a tough night on Sunday. Called on to pitch the eighth inning and protect a 4-3 against the Florida Marlins, Parnell was greeted by a 427-foot homer to center field by Logan Morrison that tied the game. Mike Stanton singled and scored on a double by John Buck to give the Marlins a 5-4 lead. Parnell (3-2) took the loss when the Mets couldn’t rally in the ninth.

 Minor leagues Craige Lyerly (East Rowan, Catawba) went 3-for-3, including a triple, and stole a base in Hudson Valley’s 6-0 win against Mahoning Valley in the New York-Penn League on Sunday.  Albuquerque’s Jerry Sands (Catawba) walloped his 16th homer, a two-run shot, in a 17-9 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.  Wade Moore (West Rowan, Catawba) had two hits, including a two-run double, as Hagerstown beat Greenville 7-2 on Sunday in the South Atlantic League.  The Kannapolis Intimidators lost 2-0 to the Rome Braves, who were fortified by rehabbing third baseman Chipper Jones, on Sunday. Jones had a walk, single and sac fly in his three at-bats. Gary Moran dominated the Kannapolis lineup, although Rangel Ravelo managed two hits for the Intimidators.  Whit Merrifield (Davie) socked his 24th double for Wilmington on Sunday in a 7-5 Carolina League loss to Kinston.  Bristol’s Keegan Linza (North Rowan) pitched a scoreless inning in a 5-1 loss to Kingsport. Linza has an ERA of 0.82.

 Wood bat leagues Alex Litaker (East Rowan) won his second game of the summer for the Carolina Hurricanes in the Carolina-Virginia League. Litaker pitched two scoreless innings in a 4-3 extra-inning victory against the Smoky Mountain Big Train. Litaker has pitched 21 innings in 10 relief appearances and still hasn’t allowed a run. He has four saves and 22 strikeouts.

 Prep cross country East Rowan boys cross country practice will begin Monday, Aug. 1, at 9 a.m. at Dan Nicholas Park. East Rowan girls cross country practice will begin Monday, Aug. 1, at 7 p.m., at the East Rowan YMCA. All interested runners must have an up to date physical on the NCHSAA form.

 Hoops clinic Scooter Sherrill and Andre McCain, former West Rowan stars, are leading a strength and basketball development clinic to be held at Competitive Sports (645 Corporate Circle, Salisbury) on July 24-27. Sessions are divided into groups for ages 7-9 and 10-12. The cost is $80 per child. Register by e-mail at ssabsports@gmail.com or call McCain at 704738-7990.

 College basketball Pfeiffer announced the hiring of three men’s basketball assistants — Donald Thomas, Dustin Alpert and Jason Moxley.

 Local golf In sectional qualifying for the North Carolina Amateur Match Play Championship, Salisbury resident Russ Adams, the former MLB infielder, qualified with a 72. The cut line was 75. Salisbury’s Roy Dixon III shot 77. The tournament will be held at Bermuda Run Aug. 3-7.  Elliot Gealy (Salisbury) shot 75-72 — 147 and didn’t make the cut at the Nationwide Tour’s Children’s Hospital Invitational in Ohio. The cutline was 142.

Paul legged out an infield hit with one out against St. Louis reliever Jason Motte (32), then stole second and advanced to third when catcher Gerald Laird’s throw rolled into center field. D’Arnaud lined to center and the speedy Paul easily beat the throw from centerfielder Colby Rasmus as the Pirates snapped a three-game losing streak.

Billingsley allowed only one baserunner after that, issuing a leadoff walk to Jayson Werth in the fourth. Cubs 5, Astros 4, 10 innings CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter Jeff Baker’s game-winning single in the 10th inning helped Chicago complete its first three-game sweep at Wrigley Field in nearly two years as the Cubs beat the Astros.

to strike out eight in eight innings and lead the Phillies to a win over the Padres.

The Marlins trailed 4-3 going into the eighth against former East Rowan and Rowan Legion standout Bobby Parnell (3-2). Logan Morrison led off with a game-tying homer, and Mike Stanton singled. Giants 2, Brewers 1 SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning and the San Francisco Giants survived another one-run game, beating the Brewers. Mike Fontenot and Jeff

Keppinger each drove in runs for the Giants, who have won seven of 10 games since the All-Star break. Aubrey Huff had three hits and Brandon Belt added two. Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 0 PHOENIX — Justin Upton went 4 for 4 with two doubles, a triple and three RBIs, and the Diamondbacks took two of three from Colorado with a victory in what might have been Ubaldo Jimenez’s last start for the Rockies. Reds 4, Braves 3 CINCINNATI — Drew Stubbs led off the ninth with a first-pitch homer, sending the Cincinnati Reds to a victory.

whose $936,000 winning share was almost triple his season earnings coming into the week, and vaulted him up 104 places in the FedEx Cup playoff standings to 43rd with five weeks left in the race. John Daly shot 72 to finish in a four-way tie for ninth at 280 — his first top-10 in six years — with current Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, amateur sensation Patrick Cantley, and Spencer Levin, who all closed with 69s.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Sean O’Hair turned around the worst week of his most trying golf season on an even tougher golf course. Not even he imagined it was possible just four days ago. Coming off a frustratingly close missed cut at the British Open, and in the midst of his worst season on the PGA Tour, O’Hair “played horrific” in Wednesday’s Pro-Am on the eve of the Canadian Open. All of which made him savor the victory four days later that much more. O’Hair won after tapping in for bogey on the first playoff hole Sunday, and then watching fellow American Kris Blanks lip out his bogey putt from just over 5 feet. It was the fourth PGA Tour victory for O’Hair, but his first since 2009 and first top15 during a season in which he’s missed 10 of 17 cuts coming in. The 29-year-old didn’t see any irony in ending his slump at the Canadian Open in a season in which he’s already fired a couple of Canadians — swing coach Sean Foley, who also now works with Tiger Woods, and caddy Brennan Little. He had plenty of praise for both, but did find some irony in how the week played out. “It is ironic that I’m sitting here after Wednesday and how I felt, and to be holding this trophy is unbelievable,” said O’Hair, adding the breakthrough started after reading the Bible later that night. It worked on a course that punished anyone who tried to force things. O’Hair started three shots off the lead before shooting 68 to get into a playoff with Blanks (70) at 4-under 276. It was the second-highest win-

ning total on the PGA Tour this season, and the first nonmajor without a bogey-free round since 2008. Only eight players finished under par on the tree-lined Shaugnessy Golf and Country Club, so it was perhaps fitting it was won with a bogey. After a tough week, O’Hair didn’t mind seeing Blanks miss. “There is not one second I’m not feeling like I’m going to just puke,” said O’Hair,

The AL roundup ... BOSTON — Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in four runs, Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run homer and the Boston Red Sox extended the Seattle Mariners’ franchise-worst losing streak to 15 games with a 12-8 win on Sunday. Tim Wakefield (6-3) joined Roger Clemens as the only pitchers to strike out 2,000 batters with Boston and moved one win away from his 200th victory. But the 44-yearold knuckleballer left after giving up Brendan Ryan’s grand slam that cut the lead to 11-7 with one out in the seventh. Boston’s powerhouse lineup had 17 hits with Saltalamacchia, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford getting three each. Michael Pineda (8-7) allowed five runs in the first after Seattle took a 2-0 lead and gave up seven runs in 4 1-3 innings. Yankees 7, Athletics 5 NEW YORK — Bartolo Colon pitched seven effective innings to end a three-start losing streak and Curtis Granderson connected for a two-run homer, leading the Yankees over the Athletics. Eduardo Nunez hit a tworun double and catcher Russell Martin was in the middle of everything for the Yankees. They beat All-Star lefty Gio

Gonzalez and returned to their winning ways against the A’s when Mariano Rivera staved off a rally in the ninth with a bit of good fortune. Hideki Matsui’s fifth hit, which matched a career high, loaded the bases with one out in the ninth. Josh Willingham cut it to 7-5 with an RBI single, the only run Rivera has allowed in 22 outings at home this season. Angels 9, Orioles 3 BALTIMORE — Tyler Chatwood allowed two runs in seven innings, Mike Trout and Torii Hunter homered in a five-run eighth, and the Angels beat the Orioles. The Angels were protecting a 3-2 lead in the eighth before turning the game into a rout against reliever Mark Worrell. After Trout hit his first major league homer, a three-run drive, Hunter followed a walk to Maicer Izturis with a shot into the left-field seats. The 19-year-old Trout was batting .162 with two RBIs before connecting on a 3-1 pitch. Trout, who made his debut on July 8, is the youngest player in the majors. White Sox 4, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — Edwin Jackson beat Cleveland for the ninth straight time after Indians rookie Ezequiel Carrera dropped an easy fly ball in center field to give the White Sox two runs in a victory.

Jon C. Lakey/SAliSBuRy PoST

Rowan County’s Will Sapp kicks up dirt diving back to first base in Sunday’s game.

ROWAN FRoM 1B Robbins came on in the seventh with the bases loaded and nobody out. The reliever had to break the trend of offensive fireworks from Morehead and did just that, striking out a pair and getting a popout to escape a nearly impossible situation in a lessthan-ideal venue for a hurler. “They were sitting fastball, for sure,” said Robbins of Morehead’s Ryan Springle, Jay Phillips and Damon Hoggard. “Luckily, I had enough where I could get it by them and they wouldn’t hit it hard anywhere.” Robbins struck out his counterpart in Springle and got Phillips to pop up and cause an infield fly. Hoggard worked the count full and struck out swinging to ignite the crowd from the southern piedmont who made the trip. “That was the dagger,” Morehead City coach Robbie Lasater said. “We’ve got to plate at least two of those runs.” Avery Rogers continued the bullpen success in tight spots, coming on with runners at first and second and no one out in the eighth. Rogers got Jonathan Campbell to line into a 4-6 double play and forced Sonny Long to ground out to first. Rogers threw the game’s lone perfect inning in the ninth after a Taylor Garczynski RBI single gave Rowan some padding. Rowan countered Morehead’s power with its ability to score in just about any way except hitting one out. After Nathan Fulbright and Matt Mauldin opened the sixth with singles, Dakota Brown got his first triple of the season to pull Rowan within 6-5. “I was looking to go opposite field and he threw me one outside,” Brown said. “It’s probably my biggest hit of the year.” After Rogers walked and Garczynski was hit by a pitch, leadoff hitter Will Sapp hit a dribbler to second to get the tying run home and Rogers

Wind blows, balls sail BY RYAN BISESI Rbisesi@salisburypost.com

Rowan notebook ... MOREHEAD CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Big Rock Stadium turned into Coors Field East Sunday, with the thick coastal breeze substituting the role of Rocky Mountain air. Rowan starter Matt Laurens gave up seven hits in 42â &#x201E;3 innings and five of them ended up going over the fence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a couple no doubt aided by the heavy wind that kept residence at Puck Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Neal Field. Laurens had trouble finding the strike zone in the opening frames. After 42 pitches, he had thrown 21 strikes and 21 balls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything near left field goes out of the park,â&#x20AC;? Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It plays a lot smaller than Newman Park. We knew we were in trouble there watching the home run derby.â&#x20AC;? Rowan was a victim of the wind Saturday when a seemingly normal fly ball to center eclipsed the centerfield fence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It normally doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fly out of here this good,â&#x20AC;? Morehead coach Robbie Lasater said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the day the wind blows here all the time. At night, it settles down.â&#x20AC;? Rowan, which is used to playing in a hitter-friendly venue in Newman Park, was a bit taken aback, though

CAN OF CORN: Rowan had a little fun at its hotel Saturday to get its mind off the tough loss to Wilmington. Cornhole. The Econolodge, which is host to several of the teams playing in the state legion tournament, has been home to a cornhole tournament that several players from each team have competed in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played against Wilmington and beat them,â&#x20AC;? Sapp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At least we beat them at something. We were just playing for fun.â&#x20AC;? ď Ž

PITCHING CHOICES: Gantt said either Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner Ethan Free or Robbins will start todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against Cherryville. Robbins, who struggled with control Saturday, came into a no-win situation (bases loaded, nobody out) in the seventh on Sunday with nerves of steel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pumped,â&#x20AC;? Robbins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was ready to go in and set them down.â&#x20AC;? When asked if the team was tired toward the end of a long season, Robbins said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I am.â&#x20AC;?

37-year-old Australian celebrates Tour de France win

NFL FroM 1B

associated press

tour de France winner cadel evans of australia, wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey, cycles down the champs elysees during the victory parade. won it with only a few days remaining. Contador, who is fighting a legal battle to hold on to last year’s victory after a positive drug test, faded away in the final stages and finished fifth. On Sunday’s largely ceremonial ride to Paris, Contador smiled and chatted with Evans, even patting the Australian on the back. Afterward, the three-time Tour champion said he told Evans “he was the strongest rider, and it’s normal that he won.” Evans’ final margin of victory over Andy Schleck was 1 minute, 34 seconds, but all of that was achieved in Saturday’s time trial. Evans hadn’t panicked when Andy Schleck had jumped ahead on the climb of the Galibier pass on Thursday and then took the overall lead in Friday’s last mountain stage. He’s only the third non-European to win the Tour since it started in 1903. American Greg LeMond broke the European domination in 1986, with the first of his three wins, and his fellow American Lance Armstrong won seven straight beginning in 1999. In a race often marred in the past by doping allegations, only one rider has so far tested positive — Alexandr Kolobnev of Russia — although many of the doping tests done this year have yet to be analyzed.

ous I would be,” said Alomar, who was bypassed in his first year of eligibility and on his second try was named on 90 percent of ballots cast, becoming the 26th player to garner at least 90 percent in any election. “Suddenly, I feel speechless.” Alomar also thanked his mom, his dad, Sandy Alomar Sr., who forged a 15-year major league career as an infielder, and his big brother, Sandy Jr., a catcher who played in the majors for two decades but was hampered by injuries. The governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuno, took a moment to congratulate Alomar, saying that his induction “is an honor for all Puerto Ricans.” He thanked Alomar for representing his Caribbean homeland. Blyleven, the first Dutchborn player to be enshrined, thanked his parents for the drive and determination he needed to succeed. Drafted by Minnesota in the third round of the 1969 amateur draft, he became the youngest pitcher in the majors when the Twins called him up June 2, 1970, after just 21 minor league starts. Blyleven, whose amazing curveball frustrated batters in his 22-year career, finished with 287 wins, 3,701 strikeouts, 60 shutouts and a pair of World Series rings — in 1979 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and 1987 in his second stint with the Twins. Still, his path toward the Hall was a slow, steep one — he drew the backing of only 14.1 percent one year — but on his 14th try became the first pure starting pitcher to get selected by the BBWAA since Nolan Ryan in 1999. Blyleven’s father, Joe, who died of Parkinson’s in 2004,

about $120 million for salary and bonuses in 2011 — and at least that in 2012 and 2013 — plus about $22 million in benefits; a salary system to rein in spending on first-round draft picks; and unrestricted free agency for most players after four seasons.

only a few teams would have delayed the start of training camp. Three of those clubs — the Ravens, Giants and Jets — decided to remain at their regular facilities rather than hold camp at a different site. The preseason is scheduled to begin Aug. 11 with Seattle at San Diego. Super Bowl champion Green Bay is set to host New Orleans in the regular-season kickoff on Sept. 8. The major economic framework for a 10-year deal was worked out a week ago. That included how the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues will be divided (about 53 percent to owners and 47 percent to players over the next decade; the old CBA resulted in nearly a 5050 split); a per-club cap of

fell in love with baseball and the Dodgers after the family moved to Southern California in the late 1950s and built a mound in the backyard, the genesis of his son’s Hall of Fame career. Baseball has lost several giants of the game in recent years, and Blyleven remembered the ones that helped him along the way. “I know in my heart that Harmon Killebrew, Willie Stargell, Bob Feller, Chuck Tanner and Kirby Puckett are looking down at all of us right now,” Blyleven said, adding a special thought for Hall of Famer Gary Carter, who’s battling brain cancer. “Gary, keep battling the way that you always have.” Gillick, a left-handed pitcher in college, said he knew he had to find another way to stay in the game after five years in the minor leagues. He found it in the front offices of four major league teams, winning 1992 and 1993 titles with Toronto and a 2008 title with Philadelphia. Gillick’s teams posted winning records in 20 of his 27 seasons as a general manager and advanced to the postseason 11 times. “It was pretty clear my arm wasn’t going to get me to the majors,” Gillick said. “Then I guess luck took over.” Gillick began his front-office career in 1963 as assistant farm director with the Houston Astros, moved to the New York Yankees system in 1974 as coordinator of player development, and in 1976 moved to the expansion Blue Jays, becoming vice president of player personnel and later vice president of baseball operations. Gillick’s signature deal was the trade in 1990 that sent Fred McGriff and Tony Fernandez from the Blue Jays to the San Diego Padres for Alomar and Joe Carter.

But a person with knowledge of the executive committee meeting said it will be “to understand where things stand after this weekend’s conversations. No talk of not voting, no talk of vote.” Team facilities would open two days after the executive committee authorizes the deal, which would be Wednesday if a vote comes today. Players then can get physicals, sign union cards, receive playbooks, and agents can negotiate or renegotiate contracts. No contracts could be signed, however, until Saturday, when camps would open if the NFLPA is back to being a union and the agreement is approved. Teams also have not negotiated with their draft picks and have not signed undrafted free agents. With regular free agency going on concurrently, it will bring some frenzied times once an agreement has been ratified by both sides. A solution to the fourmonth lockout, the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987, would come too late to save the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7. It was canceled last Thursday by the league. However, no other cancellations would be needed, and

PARIS (AP) — Cadel Evans has been keeping fans back home up all night watching him become the first Australian to win the Tour de France. It’s a victory that’s been a long time coming. Over the years, Evans has been better known for failing to live up to expectations than for overachieving. He finished second in the 2007 Tour and was expected to win the next year, but was runner-up again. Last year, he was leading the race but crashed and fractured his left elbow. The pain was too much and he dropped out of contention in tears, ultimately finishing 50 minutes behind winner Alberto Contador. This time, persistence, planning — and a little good luck — paid off. “I hope I brought a great deal of joy to my countrymen, my country,” Evans said Sunday after climbing onto the winner’s podium on the Champs-Elysees. “It’s been a pleasure and an honor to fly the flag over here.” Evans, 34, the oldest champion since before World War II, stood on the podium wrapped in his national flag, his eyes tearing up as he listened to the Australian national anthem. He then embraced Andy and Frank Schleck. The brothers from Luxembourg had pushed him all the way to the end, but were finally defeated by his solo strength in Saturday’s race against the clock. On the traditional Tour victory lap on Paris’ Champs-Elysees, champagne in hand, Evans seemed to stop to celebrate with just about every fan bearing an Australian flag. As he clambered into his BMC team bus, hundreds of people shouted praise, one yelling, “Cadel, we love you!” and others chanting “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie — Oy, Oy, Oy!” This was a very different Tour from the ones of the recent past that have been dominated by a single rider — Lance Armstrong or Contador. At least seven riders could have

Sugar levels have a yo-yo effect Dear Dr. Gott: I have been a Type 2 diabetic for 20 years. I have been having a lot of trouble keeping my blood sugar levels steady. They keep dropping down to 50. Two years ago, I woke up and was unable to walk or talk. My husband thought I was having a stroke and he rushed me to the ER. I wasn’t, but my blood sugar level had dropped to 30! In the last couple of months my morning sugar has been between 85 DR. PETER and 110, but by lunch it has GOTT dropped to between 50 and 85. What can I eat to keep my levels up? My doctor is no help, and my nutritionist keeps telling me to eat salads and vegetables, which worsen my diarrhea. I have diarrhea every day and am unable to control it. Do you have any suggestions? Dear Reader: Your question is not as easy to answer as you might think, so let me first start by asking questions: • Are you taking any medications, either prescription or over-the-counter (OTC) for your diabetes, diarrhea or other medical conditions? • How long have you had trouble controlling your blood sugar levels? Have you made appropriate diet and exercise modifications? Are you overweight? • How long have you had the diarrhea? Have you re-

ceived a diagnosis such as irritable bowel syndrome as a cause for your diarrhea? The answers to all these questions can directly impact my answer and how I guide you toward getting the best help. Let’s start with your diarrhea. This can be a side effect of many medications. It can also be a symptom of several digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis or Celiac disease. Bacteria, viruses, parasites, artificial sweeteners and lactose intolerance are other possible causes. Many diabetics suffer from delayed gastric emptying, but diarrhea may occur, especially in those with advanced disease. Treatment depends on the cause, but it can include SLOWLY increasing fiber intake, consuming adequate water, using OTC antidiarrheal drugs (with physician approval), and avoiding dairy and fatty or highly seasoned foods. Eating semisolid or soft foods during recovery may also benefit most sufferers. Now on to your diabetes. There is a condition known as diabetic hypoglycemia, which occurs because there is too much insulin and not enough sugar in the blood. It can result from taking too much diabetes medication or insulin, not eating enough for the amount of medication or insulin used, or skipping a meal. Three glucose pills, 4 ounces of fruit juice or regular (not diet) soda, five to six hard candies, or 1 tablespoon of sugar, jelly or honey are

all appropriate methods of raising the blood sugar. It is important to recheck sugar levels 15 to 20 minutes later. If it remains low, ingest another sugary food or drink. You should tell your friends and family of symptoms to be on the lookout for in case of an emergency where you cannot treat yourself during a hypoglycemic episode. A medical bracelet stating that you are a diabetic may also be beneficial so that first-responders will be able to provide proper treatment. Because you claim your physician isn’t helpful, I suggest you find an internal medicine doctor (who can also serve as your primary care physician). He or she can work with you to determine what is causing your sugars to vary so drastically, as well as figuring out the cause of your diarrhea and if the two are somehow connected. He or she can also refer to appropriate specialists if needed. Readers who are interested in learning more can order my Health Reports “Living With Diabetes,” “Constipation and Diarrhea” and “Irritable Bowel Syndrome” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O.

The captain steers to the contract BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Author Alfred A. Montapert wrote, "Why are we Masters of our Fate, the captains of our souls? Because we have the power to control our thoughts, our attitudes." During the bidding of a bridge deal, sometimes one partner is the captain, the person who chooses the final contract. At other times, the discussion continues, with neither player sure of strain or level, or, sometimes, both. Let's look at these aspects this week. First, though, how should South plan the play in four hearts after West leads the spade king? North had a textbook game-invitational limit

Now South is the captain, deciding whether to pass, or to raise to four hearts, or to do anything else to suggest a slam. In four hearts, South has four losers: two spades, one heart and one club.

There is a chance you could make an important change in your work or career in the next year. It might have something to do with your current endeavors or it could be completely different. In either case, it’ll be more lucrative. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be alert for an out-of-the-ordinary development that could have a fortunate effect on your financial affairs. Something you thought nominal is likely to become significant. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Aided and abetted by a significant amount of good judgment and a lot of luck, if you play your cards right, this could turn out to be a redletter day for you career-wise. Be on your toes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t be so locked in on something you’re trying to accomplish that you leave no room for change. A bit of alteration could be your best option for making progress. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When it comes to your one-on-one dealings, it’s to your advantage to be as open-minded and generous as you can when negotiating with another, if you hope to make any headway. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — The bigger an issue gets, the better you are likely to handle things. This is apt to be especially true when it comes to negotiations that affect your status and/or career. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This could be one of your better days to take a calculated risk that you’ve been considering. Conditions seem to favor you regarding the very situation you’re trying to go after. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Although you are likely to experience a number of disruptions in your normal routine, they are likely to be the kind of distractions you’ll welcome. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Certain exciting developments are stirring concerning some kind of arrangement you have with another. They’ll be exactly the type of shifts you’ve been hoping would occur. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Larger than usual gains can be made from work or services you perform for another. Make the most of it, because you might not get the same opportunity tomorrow. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Propitious conditions will enable you to expand upon something good you already have going. However, it will be up to you to recognize what it is and act on the opportunity. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — It looks like you’ve been needlessly worrying about the outcome of an event. All those anxieties you’ve been harboring should be put to rest as soon as you recognize this. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Keep your lines of communication open to good friends, because you could be lucky with one or more of them. Even if you have to move around a lot, find a way to stay in touch.

spade trick and immediately leads a trump, he will lose those tricks. To eliminate one loser, declarer must take his three diamond winners, discarding one of dummy's spades. Then it is time to play a trump. Later, South will ruff his third spade on the board. Finally, note that South, counting one extra point for his nice five-card suit, might have opened one no-trump. (If, for example, North had responded one spade, South would have had an awkward rebid.) Then North might have jumped to three notrump, which would be all right on a nonspade lead. (If West leads the spade king, declarer must guess to attack clubs before hearts.) Or North might have used Stayman, leading to four hearts.

WEATHER UNDERGROUNDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NATIONAL WEATHER Active weather will continue in the eastern half of the nation Monday as low pressure in the Great Lakes moves eastward into the Northeast. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along an associated stationary front that will extend across the northern Mid-Atlantic. Additional precipitation and clusters of thunderstorms are anticipated along and ahead of an associated cold front that will trail behind this system, extending through the Ohio Valley into the Central Plains. In addition to storms, strong humidity and daytime heating will lead to another day of hot temperatures and high heat indices from the Plains through the Eastern Valleys and the Mid-Atlantic. Daytime highs in these regions are expected to climb into the 90s and 100s, while heat indices reach into the 110s. Residents in these areas are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids, stay in air conditioned facilities, and check on neighbors-especially the elderly, young children, and pets. In the West, chances of showers and thunderstorms will remain over the Four Corners due to monsoonal moisture and daytime heating. To the north, a wave of low pressure will kick up a few showers and thunderstorms in parts of the Northern Intermountain West and Northern Rockies.

A 24/7 society means that some people have to work while the rest of us are sleeping, but at what cost to their health and well-being?

New survey highlights physical and emotional toll of working night shifts and other nontraditional hours

ew survey results released by Men’s Health Network and cephalon, Inc. found that people working nontraditional hours, such as overnight shifts, report that such shifts can negatively impact their health, work and well-being. The survey of more than 1,500 shift workers revealed that the majority of people with nontraditional work hours (79 percent) believe that they are negatively impacted by their shift work and report issues from negative emotions to concern about sex life and decreased time spent with family to issues associated with work productivity.

2 Healthy You Salisbury Post Monday, July 25, 2011

The survey results suggested an impact of shift work on people’s work productivity, with one in three shift workers reporting having missed work altogether at least once in the past year because they were too tired. and three in 10 surveyed (29 percent) said that they have dozed off at work in the past month, most of them multiple times, with another 37 percent saying they've come close. Still, more people surveyed are worried about job security than their own safety.

alarming finding of the survey is that a great majority of shift worker respondents (72 percent) seem to think that being tired is ‘just a part of the job’ and do not consider speaking with their physician about their symptoms,” says Jean J.E. Bonhomme, MD, MPH, spokesperson for Men’s Health Network. “What we know is that people who work nontraditional hours may be suffering from a real medical condition called shift work disorder that can be diagnosed and treated by a doctor, if only they mention their work schedule during physician visits.” Shift work disorder is a recognized medical condition that occurs when an individual’s internal sleepwake clock is not in sync with their work schedule. Because of this disruption to the body’s natural rhythm, people with shift work disorder may struggle to stay awake during their working hours or have trouble sleeping during their sleeping hours. “It is easy to ignore the overall health impact of our work schedules, but it’s so important that people experiencing excessive sleepiness and/or insomnia take the time to see a doctor and mention that they work nontraditional shifts,” says Dr. Bonhomme. “Very often shift work disorder goes undiagnosed because either the physician or the patient is not making the connections between the symptoms, work schedule and condition.” For more information about shift work disorder, visit www.TheWakeUpSquad.com.

Night Shift

In terms of emotional impact, more than half surveyed reported feeling frustrated and drained in the last week, with many others reporting irritability (42 percent), anxiety (36 percent) and anger (32 percent). Survey respondents also report daily concern for their energy level (47 percent), weight (43 percent), ability to get enough sleep (39 percent) and their sex lives (30 percent). The average shift worker has not had a meal with their family in two weeks or exercised in 24 days.

The Pressure to Perform

911 HENDERSON ST., SUITE 110 • SALISBURY, NC

ost every parent knows the joys and pains of children’s sports - the Saturday early morning scramble to get the family up, ready and to the field, balanced out by watching your child make that great play. The benefits of organized sports are numerous. Dr. Mirjam Quinn, assistant professor of Clinical Psychology at Argosy University, Chicago, says “Research shows that participation in team sports can help children develop important social skills including the ability to delay gratification, follow rules and navigate conflict. Regular exercise decreases anxiety, improves mood, and fosters the development of important brain functions including attention, planning and organization.” On the other hand, Quinn cautions, research also shows that some kids who participate in organized sports are at increased risk for performance anxiety and stress, burnout and may even focus on sports to such a degree that other aspects of the child’s identity are not developed. Why? The pressure to perform. Sports for children are becoming more competitive and the family is becoming more invested in the game. With more and more youth sports being played within ‘club teams,’ families that can afford the costs for the club’s coaching, travel to tournaments, not to mention private coaching to ‘stay ahead.’ With the individual sports like golf, tennis, figure skating and gymnastics, it is even more of a status symbol to have a child who has achieved some level of success. Many kids become dependent on the external rewards and their self-esteem crumbles when they do not win. The difference between a kid who benefits from organized sports and one who is crushed under the pressure is whether or not that child has parents and coaches who foster a healthy attitude toward sports. While keeping your child front of mind during their sports activities can be a challenge for some parents, it is a necessity. The most important issue is that the child enjoys the sport and feels that his parents are invested. “If you are a parent and you find yourself becoming emotionally wrapped up in your child’s performance in sports, or academics or advanced basket-weaving, it is probably time to take a step back and remind yourself that it’s your kid who is out there — not you,” cautions Quinn. “At the end of the day, your child is a worthwhile person, regardless of whether she does well or fails outright."

it light. Prepare a series of savory appetizer dishes. Try serving a variety of tea sandwiches, whipped avocado, spinach and veggie dips, or prepare an artisanal cheese plate paired with fresh fruit. Consider a chilled soup using pureed cucumber, fresh herbs, yogurt and sour cream that will have your guests asking for seconds.

f Turn

down the heat. Instead of using the oven, prepare hot food in a slow cooker to decrease temperatures in your kitchen. Because it's the season for fruits and vegetables, try an arugula, white bean or corn-based salad. To add additional seasonal flavor, toss in fresh herbs like mint or cilantro. Fire up the grill. Nothing says summer quite like a backyard cookout on the grill. Instead of grilling the usual burgers and hot dogs, mix up the spread and grill fresh sliced pineapple or halved peaches. To get your veggie fix, grill peppers, zucchini and onions brushed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and garlic.

It is the only 24/7, Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in the Cabarrus-Rowan region. The team of skilled neonatologists helped their premature baby grow stronger. The Lowders were able to remain close to their tiny daughter, watch as she gained weight and eventually bring her home to her older sister. “As a mom having a newborn, it’s so hard to leave them at the hospital in the hands of strangers,” said Tinlee’s mother, Brandy Lowder, who is also a pediatric nurse. “Seeing how attentive they were to all the kids allowed me to go home and see my older daughter, who needed me too.”

Delivering Miracles

Brandy Lowder with Tinlee, 7 months and Jeslyn, 6 years old.

Linda Bresnahan, MD, FACOG, a board-certified OB/GYN physician with Concord Women’s Specialty Care, worked to delay Brandy’s labor during the last days of her pregnancy, allowing Tinlee’s lungs to mature. Dr. Bresnahan said babies born early not only have trouble breathing but their kidneys and liver often are not fully developed. Labor began again nine days later. “They reassured me that there are babies born earlier than 30 weeks that make it through and grow up healthy and strong,” Lowder said.

Nurses, neonatologists, respiratory therapists and lactation consultants were on hand to coordinate the special medical attention needed when Tinlee was born. Tinlee spent two months at CMC-NorthEast before coming home to her family. Today, Tinlee is normal weight and is a healthy, smiling baby.

Sensitive Skin

hile too much ultraviolet light can be bad for anyone, leading to sunburn, premature aging Wand skin cancer, for people with sensitive skin or rosacea the sun can become a real nightmare. Rosacea is a chronic inﬂammatory condition that can be triggered to ﬂare up by the heat.

In fact, a survey by the National Rosacea Society found that 81 percent of patients said sun exposure was their number one trigger. Daily sun protection is a must for any skin type, but people with rosacea should be especially vigilant. Researchers found that when they questioned rosacea patients about their skin, patients reported significantly higher rates of blistering sunburns. A condition commonly confused with sunburn or acne, rosacea is estimated to affect more than 16 million Americans. It is oen characterized by persistent facial redness, blemishes and bumps that appear on the forehead, nose and cheeks. Although rosacea can affect anyone, people over age 30 with fair skin and a family history are most at risk. Proper skin care is an important measure to protect rosacea sufferers from the severe redness and irritation oen associated with sun exposure.

Healthy You Salisbury Post Monday, July 25, 2011

• Always wear a broad-spectrum (UVA and UVB protection) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, no matter what your skin color or the time of year. Some sunscreens can sting or burn, so talk to your dermatologist about a gentle option for your sensitive skin.

Ceili “Kaylee” Betsch, LMBT 10691, NCTMB Nationally Certified & Member of AMTA

A smart way to save your own skin, experts say, is to stay out of the sun.

• In hot weather, your skin can produce more oil, but you still need to use mild products that don’t strip moisture. Also, stay away from toners, which can be too harsh for skin with rosacea. To remove perspiration, dirt and makeup on hot days, wash your face twice a day with a soap-free, nonabrasive cleanser using your hands or a so cloth. e key is to use a cleanser that won’t cause additional irritation to the skin, as can some scrubs or heavily fragranced face washes. • Be sure to get adequate sleep, which not only reduces stress—a common rosacea trigger—but also allows your skin time to rejuvenate. • Especially in warm weather when rosacea ﬂare-ups can be at their worst, talk to a dermatologist about your symptoms. While there is no cure for rosacea, proper treatment can make it manageable. ere are several Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatments available to help reduce the inﬂammatory lesions of rosacea. For more information about rosacea, visit your local dermatologist or www.rosacea.org.

Ovarian Cancer: Two New Clinical Studies blood vessels, which provide cells and organs with the nutrients and oxygen they need to thrive. Cancer cells also require new blood vessels supplying oxygen and nutrients in order for tumors to grow. Angiogenesis inhibitors are designed to stop the development of these vessels. Participants in the study will receive treatment with either chemotherapy plus AMG 386 or chemotherapy alone. The studies are open to women 18 years of age or older who have been diagnosed with recurrent ovarian cancer and have been previously treated with chemotherapy for management of their disease. Taking part in a clinical research study is voluntary and a personal decision that should be made after speaking with your doctor. For more information, visit www.TRINOVAstudies.com.

Although there have been many treatment advances in recent years, up to 90 percent of women treated for advanced ovarian cancer will still experience a relapse of their disease. In the United States, ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women. The purpose of the TRINOVA-1 and TRINOVA-2 studies are to find out whether adding the investigational drug AMG 386 to chemotherapy improves the length of time until the disease progresses compared to treatment with chemotherapy alone.

Can a Chiropractor Prescribe Drugs or Perform Surgery?

Living Your Dream

By David D. Godwin, D.C.

While Living With Diabetes

Many times I have been asked that question. It is usually in the context that there is something inferior about a chiropractor not doing these things. My usual response is that there are enough healthcare providers who do that and we try to treat our patient’s naturally without the side eﬀects of drugs or the potential life threatening consequences of surgery. We really do not prescribe or do surgery by choice.

iabetes is a growing epidemic-nearly 26 million Americans are affected. Crystal Bowersox, 25, is among them.

You may know her as the girl with the wild hair and soulful voice that all but dominated the ninth season of “American Idol.” But at age 6, Crystal was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She hasn’t let it prevent her from living her dreams, but she’s had some close calls, one of which came as a rude awakening early in the ninth season of the show.

ere have been movements within the chiropractic profession over the years to add prescribing and surgery to our schools curricula as was done in the osteopathic schools. It has always been voted down, for if we did that we would lose who we are. We would simply be another group of practitioners writing prescriptions for symptoms.

“On ‘American Idol’ the schedules and my life were crazy. I lost sight of my priorities, let my diabetes sit on the back burner, didn’t test my blood sugar like I should have, and wound up in the hospital.

The experience had a profound impact on Crystal. Now, a tattoo on her wrist with the words “Type one diabetic” written down the middle, reminds her that diabetes is a natural part of her life. She also recognizes the importance of maintaining good diabetes management and a positive attitude, not only as an example to others with diabetes, but also in allowing her to live a full life. “Today, nearly 20 years after my own diabetes diagnosis, I am in control,” says Crystal, adding, “I’m a mom, touring the country, recording, writing, and singing my songs. Regular blood sugar testing and strategies for managing my diabetes have allowed me to enjoy the greatest moments of my life.” Today, Crystal has a new role. She’s teamed up with OneTouch® Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems as part of the Life First™ campaign to share her experiences and encourage everyone to take diabetes management seriously so they can live their dreams, whatever they may be. Crystal also appears in the new OneTouch commercials, with music and blues legend B.B. King, who has had Type 2 diabetes since 1991. To find out more about Crystal, and to share your own Life First™ story, visit the OneTouch Facebook page at www.facebook.com/onetouch.

Chiropractors constitute the largest group of alternative healthcare providers in the world. For over a hundred years we have always been on the forefront of advising our patients about healthy lifestyles, good nutrition and being physically ﬁt; long before there was any Depak Chopra’s or Dr. Oz’s. And we are very proud of that. Dr . GODWIn prACtICes At sAlIsbury ChIrOprACtIC 704-633-9335.

“I almost lost everything that I have now because I let diabetes control me. I realized then that in order to live life on my terms, I had to take back that control. If I had been voted off the show, fine. But I refused to go home because of my diabetes,” she said. Fortunately, she was able to remain in the competition and amazingly finished in second place.

Crystal Bowersox’s New Tune:

Tips for maintaining a

youthful look — naturally

Age means different things to different people. What some might think of as “old,” others may view as “young.” To present a youthful image to the world, making adjustments to your appearance is key.

To project the right kind of youthful image, it’s important to know how to avoid going too far. A common mistake is dressing too young in an effort to avoid looking too old. Striking a balance between embracing current, youthful trends and adding your own style will create a more balanced look. To give your look an age-appropriate revision, get started with these steps.

Hair. Tips for going gray effortlessly — keep your hair in tip top condition. Hair texture changes when it loses color and you may find it’s more wiry or coarse and certainly drier than it was before. Step up the deep conditioning treatments to restore gloss and shine to your gray hair Use finishing products after you style to give the appearance of shine After drying and styling add a little glosser – it’s amazing how this can give your older hair a youthful glow and bring the gray to life Drink lots of water - 2 liters a of pure still water a day to keep your digestive system cleansed. A sluggish digestive system shows in dull hair Fade to gray gradually if you have colored hair. Visit your salon more regularly to cut off the old color treatment and get some lowlights to blend in the new gray hair as it emerges Get a new hair style. Stylish gray hair means a great cut so talk to your salon and revamp your look. Whether you decide to go gray or not – you’ll be well on the way to having great looking older hair. Clothes. Both men and women can benefit from bringing a bit of modernity into their wardrobes. It isn’t necessary to pore over fashion magazines and cultivate an eye for haute couture Seek fresh takes on items that never go out of style, such as a button down in the latest color trend Don’t go for too much embellishment, as it can look overdone. Fits and cuts change as years pass, and items as simple as white T-shirts can look outdated just by having an older style collar When shopping, don’t be afraid to ask questions; many stores offer complimentary personal shopping services that can help in your quest.

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly find - at the age of fifty, say - that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you. — Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976), AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, 1977

Skin. Your face is the first thing people notice about you, but it is also the body part most prone to the aging process. A good skin care regimen is important, of course, but having an extra helper to maintain the look of skin is ideal By taking a skin-supporting supplement, for instance, the facial area can begin to look youthful again. Look for important nutrients and antioxidants like collagen, reservatrol and alpha lipoic acid which all help in maintaining a natural, youthful look Another way to refresh skin’s appearance is to adopt a new beauty routine. Less really is more when it comes to achieving a natural, youthful look Stop by a makeup counter and ask for suggestions - or even a makeover - that will be the perfect finishing touch Revamp your makeup – gray hair can make you look more pale and may lead to a washed out look. Treat yourself to some new makeup in colors that boost your complexion and strengthen your skin tone Pay extra attention to skin care – shiny gray hair and a younger looking skin is a great combination.

Accessories. Clothes provide a palette, but accessories add interest. It’s extremely easy to fall into the trap of buying items that are too juvenile, but it’s just as easy to pick up items that age your look Accessories that are all about function, with no thought given to style, are a quick way to look older, but frivolous details like bows, ruffles, whimsical prints and tons of pockets take things in the other direction Look for middle ground in sleek, understated items made with quality materials For a fun yet classy look, rely on accessories to add a pop of color, rather than using them to make a big statement.
