Strong thunderstorms rolled through Rowan and Davie counties early Sunday night, pushing trees into power lines, sparking minor fires and causing accidents. The rain and wind came in two waves. After the first storm hit the area between 6 and 6:15 p.m., Duke Energy showed concentrations of power outages in China Grove, Salisbury, Cooleemee and Mocksville. The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for Rowan County until 7:45 p.m. Sunday, and, indeed, another strong storm zipped through Salisbury about 7:25 p.m. The second storm’s path seemed to extend from Cleveland to Salisbury and from Mooresville to China Grove. Davie and Rowan counties each had 172 customers without power at 6:53 p.m. Sunday after the initial storm went through, according to Duke Energy’s website. Those numbers increased to 228 customers in Davie and 227 in Rowan County by 8:09 p.m., as remnants of the second storm were still passing through. In this region, Iredell was among the counties hardest hit, with 328 power outages reported. The cooling rains followed another hot summer day in which temperatures approached 100 degrees. Here are some of the things the storms left in their wake: • The China Grove Fire Department responded to downed utility lines at the intersection of West Ketchie and North Franklin streets and the corner of Patterson and Chinaberry streets. Traffic was blocked off at Patterson and Elizabeth streets while cleanup and repairs were made. • East Spencer firefighters responded to a grass fire at 6:31 p.m. in the 400 block of East Broad Street. • A utility line also was reported down in eastern Rowan County along N.C. 152. • At 7:17 p.m., Spencer firefighters were called to the 400 block of North Salisbury Avenue where a tree had fallen on a portion of a house. No injuries were reported, and Duke Energy was notified that a line was down. • Salisbury rescue units responded to a 7:23 p.m. accident at Harrison Road and Executive Drive in which a vehicle was off the road. • The storm knocked out a Salisbury traffic light at Jake Alexander Boulevard and South Main Street at 7:33 p.m. • At 7:40 p.m., a car traveling south on Interstate 85 between East Innes Street and Jake Alexander Boulevard hydroplaned and hit a guard rail. • In Enochville, lightning hit a tree at 908 N. Enochville Ave. and caught the tree on fire. • A tree fell on a power line at Old U.S. 70 and N.C. 801 about 8:14 p.m. The National Weather Service said Raleigh broke a 61-year-old record with a reading of 102 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday. The previous high for July 25 was 98 degrees in 1949. In Charlotte, temperatures reached 101, eclipsing the previous record of 100 degrees set in 1987. New Bern was a little cooler at 97 degrees, but that passed the record of 96.
Setting sail? U.S. official says BP’s Hayward is on the way out NEW ORLEANS (AP) — It looks like Tony Hayward will finally get his life back after all. The gaffe-prone Brit is on his way out as CEO of oil giant BP, according to a senior U.S. government official. An announcement could come by sundown today about the fate of the man who enraged scores of frustrated Gulf residents by infamously declaring “I’d like my life back,” in May. The senior U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because an announcement had not been

made, was briefed on the decision by a senior BP official late last week. The 53-year-old Hayward was BP’s most visible figure for weeks after the April 20 oil rig explosion that killed 11 workers and set off the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico. But he faded from the scene after several tone-deaf comments made people even angrier at the company than they had been. He minimized the environmental effects of the spill, questioned the existence of oil plumes identified by scientists, and enraged members of Today’s forecast 94º/75º Partly cloudy, thunderstorms
Congress when he said he was out of the loop on decisions at the well before the explosion. Another goof: In mid-June, as live video showed oil gushing into the Gulf, Hayward went home to England — and attended a yacht race. “He seems like a pretty self-absorbed person, so I’m not surprised to hear he would walk away in the middle of all this,” said Gulf resident Patrick Shay, 43, who sat on a porch swing at his cottage in Grand Isle on Sunday. His front yard is filled with small, white crosses, each bearing the name of sea life or ways

of life the oil spill has killed. “If anything it will help. They need to get him out of the way and get this cleaned up.” It’s unclear who will replace Hayward or when it will happen, but one of the most likely successors is BP Managing Director Bob Dudley, who is overseeing the British company’s spill response and would be BP’s first American CEO. He took the lead on oil spill duties after Hayward was pilloried for the yacht episode. A change in leadership will not change the mammoth tasks ahead of BP, from stop-

ping the offshore oil gusher for good, to cleaning up the millions of gallons that have already leaked, to paying billions in claims — all while defending its stock price and repairing its battered reputation. A temporary plug has stopped oil from gushing for more than a week now, but before that the busted well had spewed anywhere from 94 million to 184 million gallons into the Gulf. Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser said Hayward’s departure will be good for BP’s image. “I just hope they replace

him with somebody who understands the situation, someone who will come down here and see what’s happening on a regular basis, someone who will communicate with us,” he said. “From the beginning it was obvious this guy was not the leader needed in this crisis.” But other Gulf residents shrugged upon hearing the news. The oil, they said, has already done its damage. “It doesn’t matter,” said Chris Foss, a 39-year-old boat captain from Port Sulphur.

YESTERDAY donald “duck” sturdivant provided this old salisbury Post newspaper clipping that documented the June 5, 1967, birth of triplets — all girls — to Jake Alonzo hoover and Janie Bell sanders of spencer. dorothy, dora and dianne hoover arrived just minutes apart and were quite healthy, ranging in weight from 4 pounds, 9 ounces to 5 pounds 4 ounces. dr. J.c. hall had insisted that the mother wait out their birth at rowan Memorial hospital after an X-ray several weeks before she was due revealed she was having triplets, not twins, as had been suspected. the mother apparently became the “queen bee” on her hospital floor, according to nurses and doctors who admitted to spoiling her badly during the weeks until delivery. the hoovers already had four older daughters, ages 6 to 15. A sad note: only dora hoover survives today, having recently celebrated her 43rd birthday. sturdivant said dorothy died about five years ago, and dianne passed away earlier this year.

The Y: New logo, same Christian mission Q: I read and heard about the YMCA taking away the MCA, is that true? A: NO, that is NOT true! Now, was there a huge change? YES, our YMCA logo has changed. The logo has changed, but that doesn’t mean our mission as a Christian-based organization has changed. The YMCA has been around for nearly 160 years and always had the following mission: Our mission is to put Christian principles into practice ESTER through programs MARSH that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. In 1844, George Williams launched the YMCA movement in London as a volunteer, and his example persists in the expansion of the Y across the globe. In the U.S., early YMCA programs were run almost entirely by volunteers. And if it was not for the volunteers today, the YMCA would not be able to operate many of its programs. I have many wonderful volunteers just in my health and fitness department And I appreciate their love, support and dedication to the Y. Since the time of George Williams the YMCA logo has changed seven times. The Y is the nation’s leading nonprofit, committed to strengthening our communities through
youth development, healthy living and social responsibilities We, the YMCA, are accessible to all people. Financial assistance is offered for children, families and individuals who cannot afford memberships or programs. I was in the for-profit fitness world for 14 years and I have been with the Y for 14 years. I love working for a non-profit organization. The people we are able to touch each and every day through our Christian-based organization has been a wonderful, and humbling experience for me. So relax. The change is just the logo. Actually, the new logo has YMCA on the side of it and will always be part of that logo. So, the MCA is still there. Also added to the front of the logo is “the.” Different colors used for the logo show the diversity in our communities, families and children. I have to be truthful; initially I was not “happy” either. But if this new logo is going to let everyone know what we are all about and what we do, I am ecstatic! When Nike Shocks came out I thought they were the ugliest shoe I ever seen in my life and a year or so later I was wearing them and loving them! As Mary Engelbreit once said, “If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.” Ester Marsh works at the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leonardo DiCaprio’s “Inception” has won a battle of superstar action thrillers over Angelina Jolie’s “Salt” at the weekend box office. “Inception” remained the No. 1 movie for the secondstraight weekend with $43.5 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The Warner Bros. thriller featuring DiCaprio as leader of a team that sneaks into people’s dreams raised its 10-day total to $143.7 million. Sony’s spy caper “Salt” debuted a solid No. 2 with $36.5 million. Coming in at No. 3 with $24.1 million was Steve Carell’s family hit “Despicable Me.” The animated comedy raised its do-
mestic total to $161.7 million. In a rare convergence of fresh ideas, the top three movies all were original stories, not sequels or adaptations of comic books, best-sellers, video games or other pre-existing material. “Typically in summer, all we’re seeing are rehashes and sequels and reboots, whatever you want to call them,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “To have original stories as the topthree films is a lesson to studios that maybe audiences are open to more originality in the summer and to perhaps not play it so safe, even though that goes against the grain of every fiber in every studio executive’s being.”

Boy Scout troop 448 and the Greene Family take a break at the top of mount Baldy during their trip to Philmont Scout Camp in Cimarron, N.m. Baldy is the second highest peak in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and at 12,441 feet you can see it from many places in Philmont.
‘WE ALL MADE IT’ Greene family, Troop 448 stick together to complete Philmont Scout Camp BY BILL GREENE For the Salisbury Post
“We all made it!” That’s what the souvenir Tshirt my wife, Cora, got from Philmont Scout Camp proclaims boldly. That’s also my No. 1 answer to everyone who has asked about the Greene family trip to Philmont. To be fair, it is hard to describe the Philmont experience to those who haven’t ventured out to Cimarron, N.M. and braved the great outdoors on their own trek. I’ve enjoyed when I have bumped into or received a note of congratulations from a Philmont alumnus. There is an instant bond of fellowship and often a knowing smile or pat on the back. And time doesn’t dull the enthusiasm, I’ve had people that attended 20-30 years ago seek me out to relate our common experience. “Was it fun?” Yes. “Was it tough?” Yes. “Did you really go two weeks without using deodorant?” Yes. (That response consistently gets a grimace from folks!) But how do you describe the Philmont experience? I thought long and hard, and the best idea I came up with was a simple exercise that we did each night called “Thorns and Roses.” Before hitting our tents, we would all gather in a circle and each trek member had to relate
three things. The “Rose” was the best thing about the day. The “Thorn” was something that could have gone better or was not enjoyable. The “Bud” was something that you looked forward to. The process always allowed us to reflect on the highlights of the day, gave us a list of things as a group we could work on and, most importantly, helped us to look forward to what was coming. It was a wonderfully simple and honest exercise, and even if you thought it was cheesy, it worked. Now I will confess our group was controlled by 13- to 16-year-old boys, so our ceremony quickly became “Guns and Roses.” Rock on! I had many “Roses” for the trip. The top one, by far, was the chance to do the trek as a family. It was a special experience to face the highs and lows as a family, and the Greenes came through with flying colors.

The interstitial cystitis diet would include an elimination of salt, condiments, spicy foods and caffeine. “There are so many triggers. If you have a normal
bought a new Ford F150 for my farm back in 1993. It was the perfect truck, and I hated to get a scratch on it. Dark green, it had a great radio, and a manual transmission that was perfect for heavy loads. Nothing special to others, it was just a work truck. And lots of work it has done over the years. Heavy loads of gravel, firewood, DAVID horse feed, FREEZE and lighter yet more bulky loads of hay and straw. In all that time, it got two new sets of plugs and three new sets of brakes. Two starters, a radiator and numerous regular oil changes were about it otherwise. This truck never failed to go. There was always a way to coax it back to work. But during the past year, things have started to happen to my favorite truck. Maybe I should expect it after 250,000 miles, but it still isn’t easy to watch. Throughout the list of occurrences, the resulting theme has been “Can you still drive it!” You’ll see why. I was driving home one cold night in January, munching on a couple of bananas, near where N.C. 150 and Sherrill’s Ford Road intersect. Not a real worry, until my truck was sideswiped by a car going in the other direction. That car kept going, but it looked like my truck got the best of his car. Parts off of his were scattered all over the road. My driver’s side headlight and mirror were sheared off, and a long battle scar down the side was now a part of my truck.

Right diagnosis allows woman to find relief from pelvic disease BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
Kim Robinson has suffered with a hard-to-diagnose disease that can be even harder to pronounce for nearly two decades. W h e n Robinson, 43, was in her early 20s, ROBINSON she was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (in-terstish-uhl sĭ-stī’tĭs), a disease that is marked by recurring pelvic pain and/or discomfort
in the bladder or pelvic region. Interstitial cystitis, commonly called IC, is often associated with the need to urinate frequently and a strong need to urinate. It’s also referred to as chronic pelvic pain syndrome, painful bladder syndrome or hypersensitive bladder syndrome. Essentially, a patient with interstitial cystitis has no protective lining to the bladder.
Living with IC “Imagine using a vegetable peeler and you accidentally scraped your finger instead of the vegetable —
A Salisbury man faces drug charges after attracting the attention of an officer last Wednesday night. Kimani Jamal Brooks, 31, of 805 S. Martin Luther King Ave., is charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana. Last Wednesday, at approximately 9:20 p.m., Salisbury Police Detective T. Shulenburger, while working the department’s proactive “Hot Spot” duty, saw BROOKS someone acting suspiciously in the parking lot of Wilco-Hess, 500 E. Innes St.. The man was standing very closely facing the wall of the store on the west side. While doing so, it looked like he was tucking something into the front waist area of his pants. Shulenburger approached the man to investigate and he began to walk away but stopped when the officer ordered him to. During the investigation, the suspect agreed to a personal search, which revealed a total of 9 grams of marijuana in the waist of his pants. The marijuana was packaged in several individual packages in preparation for sale. The street value of the marijuana is approximately $100. Brooks was jailed under a $1,500 secured bond.
that’s pretty much what the inside of a bladder looks and feels like in a person with IC,” said Robinson. Now if you put alcohol, citrus juice, tomato juice or any other kind of irritant on it, that’s what if feels like when an IC patient eats or drinks something that irritates the bladder lining.” The disease is not new, but many who suffer from it are often misdiagnosed. “It’s been around for years. Many women were diagnosed with urinary tract infection. The diagnosis may be considered rare,” Robinson said. When Robinson of Salis-
bury, was diagnosed, her doctor told her this was a disease “older ladies have,” she said. “I went for years thinking I was weird. In the last several years, my symptoms got bad,” she said. Her days are unpredictable, sometimes she may eat something that causes a “flare up” or wake up with pain. “Many days, pain is the first thing I feel when I wake up and the last thing I feel before I go to sleep. When it’s there, it’s there and when it’s gone, I’m like everyone else,” she said. Doctors and nutritionists believe certain foods includ-

DRIVE FRom 3a The highway patrolman said ‘We’ll try to find who did it, but after you get home, don’t take it out at night till it is repaired.” My own reply was simply, “So, I can still drive it!” It came out of my mouth more as a statement of relief than a question. A couple visits to junk yards and some help by friends, and I had another mirror and headlight. We were back on the road both day and night. It was time for new tires, only the fifth set ever. My son-in-law Matt got me a good deal on some great farm tread tires. I
sent my daughter with the truck to Mt. Holly to get the tires, and she reported back that Matt said my clutch was just about gone. Too much pulling heavy equipment probably, so the clutch was starting to slip. But he said “You can still drive it! Just take it easy and don’t pull anything heavy!” As if that wasn’t enough, I asked him to see what he could do about a couple of oil leaks. Matt told me that I was mistaken, “That truck has more than a couple of oil leaks! And they will be expensive to fix, more than the truck is worth. But if you are going to replace the clutch, and want to fix the oil leaks, then we can do it all at the same time. But

AREA/OBITUARIES you can still drive it! Just make sure that you add oil!” Last week, I was driving down Innes Street and the truck suddenly popped out of second gear. Then I couldn’t get it to go back in, and had to totally stop to put it in first. Third and fourth gears both worked fine, but overdrive wouldn’t work either. I realized that I only had three of the usual five gears, and left it sitting at home for about a week. A mechanic confirmed that it is an issue inside the transmission. I told a neighbor about the whole situation this past weekend, and he looked at me with a puzzled expression “So you can still drive it, can’t you?”
And that is what I will do. This truck and I are friends. We’ve seen a couple of wives, a few girlfriends, two daughters and lots of hard work together. My favorite joke is “Look what you did, you put a scratch on it!” There are so many scratches and dents, no one can tell where the new ones are. My truck usually has several clothing changes, multiple tools, some survival food, running stuff, books and much more. I consider it the safest place to be during a nuclear holocaust. There is no telling what is in that floorboard or behind the seat. And the glovebox too. But right now, there’s wood to haul and yes, I can still drive it.

As a final flourish he threatened to withhold the bus tickets that would allow us to go into town for a victory cheeseburger at the St. James Hotel. We did much better the next time. I have never been so proud to have my butt chewed.
Stepping up My son Nick was one of the most physically fit of the crew. He prepared for the trip by becoming an avid runner, and his conditioning showed. He was the youngest Scout in our crew, and he routinely carried a pack that weighed between 45-50 pounds. Philmont recommends someone carry a pack that weighs only 25 to 30 percent of their body weight, and Nick weighs only 110 pounds. But he wasn’t only a backpacking machine. What made me proud of Nick was that every time Cora or I lagged behind, I could always count on Nick to pause, look back and wait for us to catch up. Then he would always ask, “How are you doing, Dad?” I can’t tell you how many times that kept me going.
Keeping up with the guys For those who have wondered, my wife Cora survived with flying colors. The fact that she was the only woman out of the 42 who attended from Rowan County was a non-issue — although on shower day, she had the “spa” to herself in the ladies’ showers. She did, as the nurse on the trip, have to suffer the indignity of having everyone who thought they had a blister sticking their smelly feet in her face. But she walked every mile and carried her share with all the other guys. I was most proud of her the day we climbed Mount Baldy. It was a brutal climb and Cora hit her limit. But she did it and watching her struggle up the hill gave me the will power to make it up myself.
Beauty abounds There were lots of “Roses.” The scenery of the high country of New Mexico is worth the trip by itself. It’s hard to describe the thrill of trudging up a ridge line and then breaking into an open area that offers a breathtaking vista of mountain peaks and valleys. We would also be walking through the woods and then out of nowhere, a high mountain meadow would appear with green grass and purple and yellow wild flowers sprinkled throughout. The back side of Mount Baldy provided a snow field — yes, it was June — that provided 4-foot snow drifts to trudge through and places for an impromptu snow ball fight and sledding. And as we continued down the draw, the snow melt became a roaring stream that guided us down the mountain.
Close eye on critters There were plenty of critters. We came across four bears on our trek, including one on the last day that surprised us about 20 feet up a hill. He proved content to dig for grubs though and enjoyed scratching his belly on the log as we moved down the trail. Deer were everywhere and in the mornings and evenings

We saw wild turkeys and a mysterious new creature called the “mini-bear.” None of us could figure out the first few days what the staff folks were talking about when they kept warning us about “mini-bears” until we finally figured out they meant chipmunks. Chipmunks were everywhere and, just like the real bears, you did not want them chewing up your pack looking for food. Finally, in the high meadows of the staff camps, you could always count on a hummingbird feeder being out. I watched in amazement as dozens of hummingbirds swooped out of the pine trees and buzzed the feeder. If you were very still, you could even hold your finger under the feeder and a hummingbird would land on your hand to eat.
Climbing Mt. Baldy Our biggest accomplishment — and a “Rose” — was our climbing of Mount Baldy. Baldy is the second highest peak in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range and at 12,441 feet you can see it from many places in Philmont. To summit it gives you extra bragging rights and it supposedly was a side hike on our trek. The part they fail to stress is that it is brutal. Our summit attempt started at 5 a.m. as we raced to the staging area in Baldy Town. We were not the fastest group up the mountain. We relied on the “caterpillar” (thanks, Al) to get us up the steep slopes. It’s a climbing method where the last person in line goes to the front and then is followed by the next person. That, paired with a silly rhyming game played over and over again by Al Wilson and Glenn Dixon, got us up the mountain. “What rhymes with cut?” “Yes, Glenn I am stuck in a rut.” Almost 6 hours later we were 3 feet from the summit, and we joined in a line, locked arms and walked up together. Several folks wanted to cry, most of us just collapsed, but everyone smiled as we were finally looking down from the top. And as an added treat, it was Father’s Day, and I spent it with my two sons on top of the world — at least from our viewpoint. I do confess I mumbled to my kids that next year I would be happy with a new recliner! There were lots of other “Roses,” but I did want to relate two last ones.
Pizza paradise First, Simple Simon’s Pizza delivers. We only crossed one paved road the whole trip (Hwy 64 heading out of Cimar-
ron), and when we reached the underpass where the trail passed under the bridge we took a break along the nearby Cimarron River and dropped our packs. Unknown to most of us, Glenn Dixon had skipped ahead and finding spotty cell service had arranged for the pizza delivery guy to deliver pizza to the underpass. There, halfway through our trek in the middle of nowhere, we had the best pizza party ever. I wanted to cry when they poured me a Pepsi with ice in it.
An outstanding family For my last “Rose” I wanted to qualify my first “Rose” by saying that I not only did it with my regular “family,” but the “family” that was the outstanding crew we took. There was Seth Culp, who will now be known as the “Burro Whisperer.” He could rig up the burro in 15 minutes and could always be found hugging our burro, Vanilla Face, and feeding it treats. Murray Farrington was the “heart” of the crew, always upbeat and positive, and by some miracle able to run uphill with a 50 pound pack on his back and blisters on his feet. Spencer Dixon did not want to be there at all. He was emphatic about it, but he pulled his weight every day and I think secretly enjoyed it (also winner of the cheesiest moustache). Neal Emmett, who we worried about initially, turned out to be a polite young man who tried hard and in his free time actually read a book for fun. As a bookstore person, this gives me hope. Josh Billingslea was the last Scout and the “soul” of the group. Every night he consistently said he didn’t have any “thorns” and one night put it all in perspective when he announced for his “rose,” “I don’t know about you, but this is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen!” The final members of the family were Glenn Dixon and Alfred Wilson. Glenn always had a smile on his face, even when I know he was hurting. He showed his true colors when he bawled tears of happiness when his “rose” was spending Father’s Day on top of Baldy Mountain with his son, Spencer. Finally, there was Al, who often got the short end of the stick as everyone yelled for “Mr. Wilson” when something was wrong. When we were grouchy and tired, it was easy to chew on Al because he never stopped. But none of us would have been there if he wouldn’t have brought us together in Troop 448 and kept us together until we had a chance to attend Philmont. There were some thorns. It was a tough and trying trip and
many of us hit our personal walls. Cora’s was the last day as we finished down 3 miles of switchback trails (with the base camp always in sight with each turn) down the Tooth of Time ridge line. The long hike and the heat took their toll and, when she finally reached camp, she was rewarded with a cold shower. My favorite line that she muttered was, “THIS TRAIL was not designed by a woman!” She mercifully recovered after we got ice cream into her and she realized it was over. My wall came early as my body got used to the altitude and the weight of my 65pound pack. The hills were killing me and up to the time we reached the staging area at Baldy Town, I seriously doubted I was going to attempt to climb Mount Baldy. But something kicked in, and my crew got me to the top. I had one of the best Father’s Days ever. For those that have been to Philmont before, it only rained once on us in the two weeks. This is not normal as it is the spring rainy season and usually afternoon storms sweep in and cool the area. The result was a very dusty trail and many of us sported dirt tans and looked like raccoons when we pulled off our sun glasses. And everything tasted and smelled of dust. Finally, as every Boy Scout at camp complains, the food stunk. The Philmont folks packaged meals designed to load us with salt and carbohydrates to the tune of 3,000 calories a day. With the exception of one hot entrée every night, most of the food consisted of items that you would find on the snack aisle of a convenience store. The only good news was that I lost 20 pounds because I couldn’t eat it. That and Tabasco Sauce can save anything. To close there are the “Buds.” I look forward to being able to look back over the years and remember fondly my family and crew on this trek. The tough parts will fade but the good parts will shine on. I look forward to watching the young men I shared the trail with grow up and become the great adults I know they will be. I look forward to the friendships and shared sense of accomplishment that will always bind my crew — 615-Q- Rocks. I also look forward to always being able to say that the Greene family stuck together and “We All Made It!” Finally, I can’t say that I will ever go back to Philmont, but my last “Bud” is a wish that one day my sons might wish to take their children to Philmont.

BRIEFS
Salisbury Police are trying to find Lakasha Delshone Evans, 35, who is wanted for a variety of charges. Her address is unknown, but she is believed to be in the Salisbury area. She is described as a an AfricanDELSHONE American woman, 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 180 pounds. She is wanted for five counts of financial card theft; two counts attempted obtaining property by false pretenses, obtaining property by false pretenses and larceny. Anyone with information pertaining to Evans’ whereabouts is asked to call the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333 or they may call Crime Stoppers at 1-866639-JAIL (5245).
19-year-old man charged with killing his mother FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — A 19-year-old North Carolina man has been charged with killing his mother and setting fire to the mobile home they shared. Multiple media outlets reported that Johnathon Gray of Fayetteville was arrested Saturday morning and charged with murder and arson. He was being held in the Cumberland County jail. A jail officer said Sunday there was no information on whether Gray has an attorney. Cumberland County sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Tanna says firefighters discovered the body of 42-yearold Barbara Towery when they responded to a fire at the
DIAGNOSIS FROM 3a lining in your bladder, nothing would bother you. There’s so many chemicals in our diet, it would take a lot of elimination,” she said.
Treatment There is no cure for interstitial cystitis, but there are treatment options to relieve symptoms. Some treatments include oral or topical medicines, diet modification and bladder installations or “cocktails.” The cocktails, a mixture of certain medicines put directly into the bladder, contain a local anesthetic called Lidocaine that numbs the bladder, Robinson said. “These are rescue treatments that are meant to put you out of pain immediately. It can contain Elmiron, most every IC patient uses it. You can take it orally or insert it. It’s supposed to help rebuild the bladder lining,” she said. After years of giving herself cocktails and learning how to place her own catheters, Robinson decided to go into the medical field. She is now a nurse with Novant Health. Although e interstitial cystitisis is not a urinary tract infection, even the smallest amount of germ can produce severe pain for patients. A true urinary tract infection requires treatment, but ironically, in a patient with interstitial cystitis frequent antibiotic use only worsens interstitial cystitis in the long run, especially if the disease is not being treated appropriately. This has been the case for Robinson, who because of her early treatment has had some adverse effects. It was so new and not much was known about treatments 20 years ago. Before she was finally diagnosed, doctors discovered polyps on Robinson’s bladder that were removed. Unfortunately, it did not help her interstitial cystitis. They first thought removing the polyps was helpful, but now they know it disturbs the mucosa, the moist tissue that lines organs, Robinson said. She was also treated for years with antibiotics, but long-term antibiotic use has been found to worsen the disease.
home. Tanna says Towery appears to have died from blows to the upper part of her body, but officials were awaiting autopsy results.
7 men charged in cockfighting bust ASHEBORO (AP) — North Carolina officials have charged seven men with animal cruelty, seized 400 chickens in cockfighting bust. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office said the men also were charged Saturday with felony cockfighting after a raid of U.S. Highway 64. Officers found 24 gaming roosters, three of which were dead from injuries sustained while fighting. Investigators also seized 400 chickens that were found to be living in deplorable conditions. Six of the men were being held by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for possible deportation.
Couple pleads guilty to robbing banks MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — A North Carolina man and his girlfriend have pleaded guilty to a bank robbery spree across Alabama last March. Court documents show the duo — Jerry Hover Tinsley of Rutherfordton, N.C., and Rhianna Marie Jones, of California — admitted last week to robbing banks in Flomaton, Florala and East Brewton. Prosecutors have offered Jones a lesser sentence if she helps police with the case. Tinsley’s attorney, Christ Coumanis, described his client as a “Bonnie-and-Clydetype couple” with drug problems. Police say the couple stole about $9,500 from the banks total between March 4 and March 17.
National park sees increase in visitors in 2010 ASHEVILLE (AP) — The
“Over the years, they’ve changed the way they treat it. All of these things probably made me worse, but that’s all they knew,” she said. Within the last 10 years, there’s been more research done on the disease. Robinson said many gynecologists are also able to provide relief to patients through biological hormone replacement and other topical therapies. “There is a balance. You want to be able to enjoy your life,” she said. Robinson said the use of the cocktails has allowed her to leave a fairly normal life. “I’ve met people who can’t work or travel. I can function from day-to-day,” she said.
National Park Service says the Great Smoky Mountains National Park has seen a 3.3 percent increase in visitors this year compared with the same period last year. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported Sunday that official numbers showed an additional 200,000 visitors passed through the park’s 13 entrances. But, park spokesman Bob Miller told the newspaper that a good bit of that increase could be attributed to construction near the electronic counter at the Gatlinburg, Tenn., entrance. Still, Miller said two of the three main entrances showed more people are coming to the park. Through June 2010, the park had 4.1 million visitors, up from 3.9 million for the same period in 2009.
Several NC cities hit record high temperatures RALEIGH (AP) — Several North Carolina cities have set new record high temperatures. The National Weather Service said Raleigh broke a 61-year-old record with a reading of 102 degrees

Fahrenheit on Sunday. The previous high for July 25 was 98 degrees in 1949. In Charlotte, temperatures reached 101, eclipsing the previous record of 100 degrees set in 1987. New Bern was a little cooler at 97 degrees, but that surpassed the record of 96 degrees set there in 1949. Forecasters say the heat is the result of a high pressure system that has brought in warm, moist are from the Southwest. But there is relief on the horizon. A cold front was forecast to move through central North Carolina Sunday night, bringing a welcome 10-degree drop in temperatures next week.

Interstitial Cystitis Association When Robinson joined the Interstitial Cystitis Association two years ago, she found support and the latest news on research and support for patients with interstitial cystitis. She recently attended a conference where she met many of the doctors she’d heard of through the years. “It was awesome to meet physicians who dedicate their practice to pelvic issues for women and men,” she said. What she learned through the conference was that the disease is multi-faceted and requires multi-disciplinary treatment. “It is far more complex than just involving the bladder or other structures of the pelvis for women and men,” Robinson said. The Interstitial Cystitis Association website also has been quite helpful to Robinson. “There is constant news, endless help and a tremendous outpouring of support,” she said. Robinson wants people to know there is support and treatments available. “When I laugh, everyone can hear me, and I do it often. That laugh or smile might disappear as quick as any discomfort comes about, but always returns when I figure out the plan of attack,” she said.

ADVICE
Dear Enough: Your husband is the coach, and so he has discretion about how to field the team. This child doesn’t seem to have done anything to deserve your wrath, and so he should not be punished because of a sour relationship you have with his parents. You have a choice to make. Either you can suck it up and demonstrate to your son, their son and anyone else involved that you are an adult and know how to behave well -- or you can be punitive and small, and punish a child for the sins of his parents. I sincerely hope you choose what’s behind door No. 1.
Dear Amy: You recently replied to “Concerned Mom,” who said her daughter no longer wanted to marry her fiance, but thought the wedding should take place anyway. I told my mom I didn’t want to marry my fiance, and she thought it was too late to change anything because the invitations had already been sent. That was 28 years ago. I married the man and divorced him three years later. Your advice was spot on. — Candid in Colorado Dear Candid: When someone says she doesn’t want to get married, the smartest thing is to believe her. Dear Amy: My independent, 25-year-old son has a roommate from college, “Brad,” who has visited my home hundreds of times. He is a pleasant and courteous guy. He’s very nice, and we like him very much. He has been invited for Christmas meals and family events. He uses my guest room and shower, and I make them dinner and let them both entertain their friends and girlfriends in my nice home. Brad seems to always be strapped for cash and has asked my son for his handme-down clothing that I’ve put aside for charity. Yet he can afford his own apartment, beer and tech equipment. Never has he brought me
so much as a flower, a plant or a bottle of wine for the household (he always says thank you, though). My son defends him and says he has no money -- but boy, he really does take, take, take. I think he has no class. Everyone has told me to stop being so nice, but I don’t want to offend my son because I worry he will never come around again. What do you think? — Fed up Hostess Dear Hostess: Because of your generosity, this young man has become a de facto family member. So, treat him like the adult family member he has become and be honest about your expectations. At the end of your next shared meal, you say, “‘Brad,’ I’m going to let you and ‘Joe’ clean up tonight. Could you two clear the table, take care of the dishes and start the coffee?” The next time he uses your guest room, you can ask him to please strip the sheets from the bed and put them and the towels in the wash. You are going to teach this very nice young man how to demonstrate his gratitude by pulling his weight around the house so you won’t feel so put-upon (your son should also be doing these things, by the way). And if he wants castoff clothes, then for goodness’ sake, let him have them.
Once you’ve established a more comfortable rapport, you can say, “You know, Brad, a box of cookies or bottle of wine every now and then sure would be nice.”

It was 11 years ago this month when I first heard of the term “Y2K.” Remember that? A horrible doom settled over the world, as we feared that mankind’s ability to become technical would finally do us in. The problem had to do with computers and the habit of shortcutting dates to reflect only the last two MARY digits in referHUNT encing the year. The theory was that the world would be hurtled into untold chaos when suddenly “99” became “00.” How would a computer know it should be 2000 instead of 1900 or perhaps even 3000? What if computers didn’t agree and some reverted to 1900 while others took a fearless leap to, say, 2600? The collective fear warned us that planes would fall from the sky, cars would sit idle, investments and food would disappear, and life as we knew it would come to a screeching halt. Fear is a funny thing. You
don’t need to do an Internet search for “fear” to find it. Open yourself to it and fear will find you. It’s a bleak medical diagnosis. Company layoffs. A stack of bills. Car trouble. A double-dip recession and failing housing market. Whether you’re concerned about your health, your home, your ability to provide for your family or your retirement account, one thing is certain: Fear and uncertainty about the future come from every angle and wait around every corner. Here are some tools that will keep fear from overtaking your heart and mind: • Remember — Fear for the future easily can overwhelm us these days, but we can run it out of our lives through the simple act of remembering. The fears we had over Y2K now seem silly because nothing horrible happened. We moved seamlessly into a new millennium, while the opportunists who scared people into buying underground shelters, guns and freeze-dried food quietly slunk away to wait for their next opportunity. Cars did not shut down; planes re-
mained airborne; food supplies were not interrupted. Have you ever been unemployed? Remembering how that worked out will help you face it in the future. Concentrating on the lessons you learned and the experience you gained will help you to face your next challenge with confidence, not fear. • Trust — Another way to combat fear is to grow your faith. Faith is confidence in something you cannot see or fully understand. It is trusting in the power of God to work all things in your life for good. It is activating what you believe. When your faith is stronger than your fears, faith wins. Trusting what you know to be true is the way to face fear and doubt. • Control — Your ability to control your thoughts is a powerful weapon against fear. Choose carefully what you read and the television shows you watch. Fill your mind with positive and wholesome information and watch your fears slip away. No matter how difficult the challenges may be for you today, you can choose to face them with fear or confidence. Choose wisely.

Raul Castro prepares Cuban Revolution Day speech SANTA CLARA, Cuba (AP) — It would be easy for Raul Castro to make headlines in a major Revolution Day speech in this central Cuban city Monday. All he has to do is bring up the 52 political prisoners he has agreed to release, or discuss plans to open the island’s communist economy. Of course, nothing Cuba’s 79-year-old president says will mean as much as whether elder brother Fidel is standing by his side. A recent spate of appearances by the revolutionary leader after four years of near-total seclusion has got everybody talking.

LONDON (AP) — Dr. Gregory House has long battled the blues. Now, the actor who plays the acerbic physician plans to play them. Warner Music Entertainment said last week that British actor Hugh Laurie has signed a deal to record an album of New Orleans-inspired blues. “I am drunk with excite-
ment at this opportunity,� Laurie said in a statement. “I know the history of actors making music is a checkered one, but I promise no one will get hurt.� Despite his note-perfect American accent on “House,� Laurie is a longstanding member of Britain’s acting establishment, famous for his turns in the “Blackadder�
comedies and as Bertie Wooster in “Jeeves and Wooster.� In 2007, Laurie was made a member of the Order of the British Empire. On “House,� Laurie’s character often plays piano and the guitar. According to his record company, Laurie is a predominantly self-taught pianist because, in a very House-like move, he had “cre-
ative differences� with his childhood teacher. The album is to be produced by Grammy winner Joe Henry, who has also worked with Ani Di Franco, Elvis Costello, and Loudon Wainwright III. Earlier this month, Laurie received his fifth Emmy nomination for his portrayal of House.

Tea Party caucus is brewing
Celebrating two important safety nets H
BY DARYL LEASE Special to the Post
his ought to be fun: Michele Bachmann, the ever-so-uninhibited congresswoman from Minnesota who recently opined that President Barack Obama is turning America into “a nation of slaves,” has won approval from House leaders to create a Tea Party Caucus. Democrats, for obvious reasons, seem eager to go to battle with this rambling sideshow, so diverse in its views that it includes a teaparty group in Iowa that thought it would be illuminating to us all to put up a billboard featuring Obama, Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Lenin. But the reaction from Bachmann’s GOP colleagues appears deBACHMAN cidedly mixed. Indiana’s Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, joined the caucus with an enthusiastic “You betcha!” Others announced on Twitter that they’re in. But some folks are offering up the political equivalent of the “I’d love to, but I’m too busy sorting my sock drawer” excuse. Richmond’s Eric Cantor, who serves as House minority whip, praised Bachmann’s initiative but told Politico that he thinks the tea party movement is an “organic” grassroots movement that’s “better left to the people.” (He condemned that billboard, by the way.) Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah offered up a similar take on Twitter. “If any one person(s) tries to co-opt it, the Tea Party will lose its identity and effectiveness. Go Tea Party! But not with D.C. ‘leadership,’ “ he wrote. The fear of being co-opted isn’t out of place, it appears. Trent Lott, a former Republican leader who fell from grace after he sang the praises of Strom Thurmond’s longago segregationist bid for the White House, is now a lobbyist on Capitol Hill. He has plans for any tea partiers who win in this fall’s elections. “As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them,” he told The Washington Post. But Lott doesn’t think it’ll come to that. “I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people,” he said. Ah, faith in the visceral. Bachmann is a greatest-hits collection of visceral. Emote first, think later — if there’s time. Among other things, she has assigned sinister motives to the U.S. Census and suggested that AmeriCorps is part of a nefarious plot to set up “re-education camps for young people.” (Undeterred, her son later joined Teach for America.) During the 2008 presidential campaign, Bachmann infamously fretted in a TV interview that Obama may not be one of us. “I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views,” she said. And she didn’t stop there: “I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out — are they pro-America or anti-America? I would love to see an exposé like that.” Because, you know, it’s a self-evident truth that people who hold views at variance with your own are anti-America. Her comments immediately boosted the prospects of her opponent in her ’08 re-election campaign, a long-shot with the delightfully Dickensian name Elwyn Tinklenberg. He nearly won. Since then, Bachmann — who earned a degree in tax law from the College of William and Mary — has continued to divide and sorta conquer. In the same speech in which she raised the image of Obama enslaving us all, she lamented “the tyranny” of the Democrats in Washington. Because, you know, when voters elect a majority from one party, it’s tyranny. Well, if the majority is the Democratic Party. If they’re Republicans, they’re obviously pro-America. Recently, Bachmann has distinguished herself as a defender of the downtrodden folks at BP. Congress, she said, needed to lift the liability cap on damages from oil spills. “But if I was the head of BP,” she said, “I would let the signal get out there — ‘We’re not going to be chumps, and we’re not going to be fleeced.’ And they shouldn’t be. They shouldn’t have to be fleeced and made chumps to have to pay for perpetual unemployment and all the rest — they’ve got to be legitimate claims.” What a caucus. Elwyn Tinklenberg, wherever you are, your nation needs you. • • • Daryl Lease is an editorial writer for The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk.

appy birthday Medicaid and Medicare! July 30 is the 45th anniversary of the birth of Medicaid and Medicare. They were born on July 30, 1965, when President Lyndon Johnson signed the Social Security Act of 1965. At the bill signing, President Johnson enrolled former President Harry Truman as the first Medicare enrollee and Bess Truman as enrollee No. 2! Forty-five years later, the two programs have combined budgets of more than $736 billion! Two of the biggest questions asked about Medicaid and Medicare are: “What are Medicaid and Medicare?” and “What’s the difference?” Medicaid is a safety net for indigent people. It covers indigent elders, pregnant women, children, the disabled, etc. In North Carolina, Medicaid covered 1.8 million people in 2009 at a total cost of more than $11 billion. The number of Medicaid recipients has risen as the economic situation has forced many more people into poverty. Medicaid pays for physicians, hospital care, nursing homes, assisted living, medications, hospice, dental care, mental health services, and at home services for poor children and adults. Medicare on the other hand is an insurance program. All employees and their employers pay in to the Medicare program. If you are 65 years of age and qualify for Medicare services, it will pay Ted W. Goins for hospitalization, Jr. lives in Salis- short term nursing bury and is presi- home rehabilitation, dent of Lutheran drugs under the Part Services for the D program, etc. In Aging. the case of a nursing home, Medicare will pay for the first 20 days if you meet their qualifications, and can pay for up to 80 more days after the recipient pays a substantial co-pay. It is a complicated system, but you can email me at tgoins@lsanc.net for additional resources. People like to throw rocks at the government and at Medicaid/Medicare. Medicaid and Medicare are huge programs, and growing. In a program that big covering that many people, it’s easy to find outrageous stories of fraud or abuse. Unfortunately, there will always be dishonest people. Let me share two examples. The July 17 issue of Salisbury Post ran an Associated Press article on three dozen people being arrested for defrauding Medicare out of $251 million! Outrageous! Another example: Medicare/ Medicaid nursing homes are monitored and reimbursed through an antiquated, wasteful bureaucratic system. Outrageous waste! While those criminals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent and the system should be revolutionized, we should not throw out the baby with the bath water. The far left seems to want to pay for everything, which we cannot afford. The far right seems to want to pay for nothing. Common sense must prevail, because in most instances for most people Medicare and Medicaid are America at its best. American society was built on Christian principles including the biblical charge of caring for the widow and orphan. Our society has done that through the church, like the creation of Lutheran Services for the Aging where I work, and through government programs like Medicaid that care for those who can’t care for themselves. We have to be able to afford services, so we as a society can’t pay for everything. But where do we draw the line? Do we not pay for an operation for an elder or a baby because they can’t afford to pay? Do we tell an 80 year-old who could live for 15 more years they can’t have that medical procedure, or that medicine? Do we deny nursing home care to our grandmother who is too sick to stay home and needs 24-hour care? While there is abuse and waste that needs to be wiped out, look at all the good Medicare and Medicaid provide. Happy birthday, Medicaid and Medicare, and many more! Thank you for caring for the most vulnerable, frail members of our community!

But he tells CNN’s “State of the Union” that such action now “seems inexorable.” He predicts Iran will build its program to the point where it’s just below having an actual weapon.

US-led armada holds drills off Korea ABOARD USS GEORGE WASHINGTON (AP) — Fighter jets buzzed the skies and submarines cruised underwater Sunday as a flotilla of U.S. and South Korean warships led by a nuclear-powered U.S. supercarrier began exercises that have enraged North Korea. U.S. officials denied North Korea’s claims the maneuvers off Korea’s east coast were a provocation, but said they were meant to send a strong message over the sinking of a South Korean warship in March that left 46 sailors dead. The drills, set to run through Wednesday, involve about 8,000 U.S. and South Korean troops, 20 ships and submarines and 200 aircraft. The USS George Washington, with several thousand sailors and dozens of fighter jets aboard, was deployed from Japan. “We are showing our resolve,” said Capt. David Lausman, the carrier’s commanding officer. The exercises will be the first in a series of U.S.-South Korean maneuvers conducted in the East Sea off Korea and in the Yellow Sea closer to China’s shores in international waters.
German police blame organizers of music festival for deaths DUISBURG, Germany (AP) — Throngs of techno fans followed the floats, the dancers and the throbbing music to the festival venue: an old freight railway station that local media estimated could handle 300,000 people. German media reported that as many as 1.4 million people showed up to the Love Parade, where a mass panic Saturday left 19 people crushed to death and 342 injured. Police blamed organizers and officials in Duisburg, an industrial city that gave the world’s largest techno music festival a home after it was driven from Berlin because of noise and overcrowding. Witnesses, however, blamed police and private security staff, saying the panic broke out after they closed the end of a tunnel — the only entrance to the festival grounds — when the venue became too full. Police denied that and said they actually opened a second exit to disperse the masses before the accident happened. It remained unclear Sun-
day what exactly triggered the panic, but it appeared that several people trying to escape the pushing crowds climbed up a steep metal stairway on a ramp in front of the tunnel and fell into the crowd. Amateur video footage showed thousands of festivalgoers crammed wall to wall, with some trying desperately to climb out. Police said nobody was killed inside the tunnel itself.
Families shocked to learn wrong woman was listed as dead PHOENIX (AP) — The families of a young woman who died in an Arizona traffic crash and another who suffered severe inj u r i e s mourned the w r o n g woman for GUERRA nearly a week because of a mix-up by authorities, The Arizona Republic reported Sunday. All last week, friends stood vigil at a Phoenix hospital thinking 21-year-old Marlena Cantu was in critical condition. At the same time, they mourned 19-year-old Abby Guerra, who they thought had died in the same car crash last Sunday. Cantu and Guerra went to high school together in Glendale, near Phoenix. The crash also killed a male classmate. Teammates from Guerra’s University of Evansville soccer team in Indiana planned to fly to Phoenix to attend her funeral Monday. But on Saturday, family and friends learned it was actually Cantu who died and Guerra who was in the hospital with a brain injury, broken back, collapsed lung and other injuries.
Flooding from Iowa river causes millions in damage MONTICELLO, Iowa (AP) — Flooding from the Maquoketa River after the Lake Delhi dam failed has damaged dozens of homes and businesses, causing millions of dollars in damage in Monticello, officials said Sunday. The Lake Delhi dam in eastern Iowa failed Saturday as rising floodwater from the Maquoketa River ate a 30foot-wide hole in it. Areas below the dam, including in Hopkinton and Monticello were evacuated. “It is simply unbelievable. This is unprecedented. We’ve had floods before and we’ve always been able to contain the situation and minimize the damage, but with Mother Nature’s fury ... there was no way to do anything about it,”
said Mike Willey, president of the board of directors at the Lake Delhi Recreation Association. “There was simply too much water.” The river crested upstream of the dam at Manchester early Saturday afternoon at 24.53 feet — more than 10 feet above flood stage and well above its 2004 record of 21.66 feet — before it began to slowly recede. About 50 homes and 20 businesses had major flood damage and the city’s sewer plant had been flooded and shut down about 7 p.m. Saturday, said Monticello Public Works Director Dana Edwards.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez threatened on Sunday to cut off oil sales to the United States if Venezuela is attacked by its U.S.-allied neighbor Colombia in a dispute over allegations Venezuela gives haven to Colombian rebels. Chavez made his warning in an outdoor speech to thousands of supporters, saying: “If there is any armed aggression against Venezuela from Colombian territory or anywhere else supported by the Yankee empire, we ... would suspend shipments of oil to the United States!” “We wouldn’t send another drop of oil to its refineries, not a single drop more!” Chavez shouted, adding that the United States is “the big one to blame for all the tension in this part of the world.” If actually carried out, such a threat would be titanic economic blow for Chavez’s government, which depends heavily on oil sales. The U.S. is the top buyer of oil from Venezuela, which is the United States’ fifth biggest foreign supplier. But Colombia has not threatened military action, and it’s likely Chavez made the warning in part to put Washington and Bogota on notice that he will not stand for a more aggressive international campaign to denounce allegations that leftist Colombian rebels are finding refuge in Venezuela.

FOROS, Ukraine (AP) — Vladimir Putin says he met with the Russian spies who were expelled from the United States, joining them in singing an unofficial KGB anthem and promising them good jobs and a bright future back in their homeland. Russia’s prime minister said late Saturday he recently got together with the 10 sleeper agents, without saying when or where. The agents were deported from the U.S. earlier this month in a biggest spy scandal since the Cold War. “We talked about life,” Putin told reporters in Ukraine. “We sang ’What Motherland Begins With’ and other songs of that character.” “What Motherland Begins With” is a song from the 1968 television series about Soviet spies in Nazi Germany. The song is widely known as an unofficial anthem of Russian intelligence officers. Putin, a former KGB officer who in the early 1980s worked in communist East Germany as a low-level functionary, spoke about the uneasy lives the secret agents had in the U.S., where they were caught by the FBI in U.S. cities and suburbs where they had been living for more than a decade.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The Taliban claimed Sunday that they killed a U.S. sailor and kidnapped another as NATO forces ramped up a massive search for the servicemen, who went missing two days earlier in an area held by the militants. The coalition force set up checkpoints and distributed fliers with the sailors’ pictures and are offering thousands of dollars in rewards for their return. There were conflicting reports about whether the body of one of the two had been recovered. U.S. and NATO officials confirmed that two American Navy personnel went missing Friday in the eastern province of Logar, after an armored sport utility vehicle was seen driving into a Taliban-held area. NATO officials were unable to say what they were doing in such a dangerous part of eastern Afghanistan. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid also said the pair drove into an area under insurgent control, prompting a brief gunfight in which one American was killed and the other was captured. He said both were taken to a “safe area” and “are in the hands of the Taliban.” The sailors’ heavily reinforced white Land Cruiser has been recovered, according to a security official in Logar who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose the information.

THE STORY SO FAR… Pancake, a hurt loggerhead turtle, is rescued, treated and sent to a sea turtle hospital. At the hospital, a young girl named Lolly helps take care of Pancake. The young girl bonds with the sea turtle. After the turtle is totally rehabilitated, (including regaining the use of a flipper), she is well enough to be released. Finally, the big day arrives! Pancake is released back to her ocean home. But, how will the sea turtle fare?
Chapter Six Pancake Returns!
Time passed. School was out for the summer, and Lolly worked more hours at the hospital. The place seemed a little empty without Pancake. But not for long! Three new patients arrived. A loggerhead turtle came in with a fishing hook stuck in its throat. Another had eaten a plastic bag, mistaking it for a jellyfish. A green turtle named Emerald had tangled both of her front flippers and one back flipper in the webbing of an old beach chair that had washed into the ocean. Her back flipper was so damaged that it had to be amputated. Happily, Emerald was able to swim with only three flippers. Even though weeks had passed and Lolly was busy helping with the new patients at the turtle hospital, she still thought about Pancake. She wondered how the turtle was doing. But there was no time to brood! It was sea turtle nesting season. Lolly and her friend Zack had signed up with the local sea turtle program. They walked the beaches looking for turtle tracks and other signs of turtle activity. Lolly loved turtle patrol! One evening, Lolly and Zack were busy patrolling. Just up the beach, a loggerhead turtle made her way to the shore. The mother sea turtle had come back to the very same beach where she was born. Like her mother before her, she would make her nest here and
disturbed it. Soon the eggs would hatch into baby sea turtles. Lolly planned to be there when it happened! Many evenings, Lolly would go down to the beach to check on Pancake’s nest. She sat and waited for the eggs to hatch. Suddenly one evening, Zack showed up and plopped down beside her. “What are you doing here?” Lolly said, surprised to see Zack. “Your mom sent me to tell you to come home soon,” Zack answered. “Nothing happening yet, huh?” “Nope, not yet,” Lolly sighed, “but I have a feeling tonight’s the night.” “I think you should give up,” Zack advised. “You can’t stay here all night!” Just then something moved in the sand. Pancake’s nest began to “boil” and baby hatchlings poured out! The helpless hatchlings raced toward the ocean. Lolly and Zack helped by keeping away the ghost crabs. When a hatchling went the wrong way, the two young people guided it back on course. As soon as the baby turtles reached the water, they started swimming. They would not stop until they reached a safer place
where they could find food. Lolly knew that most of the sea turtles wouldn’t survive long enough to grow up. The world is a dangerous place for sea turtles! But the females that survived would grow up and return to this same beach to nest. And Lolly knew that when they returned she and her children would always be there to help!

lay her eggs. The turtle looked for a suitable spot for her nest––a place where the tide couldn’t reach. Finally, she found a good spot and began making her nest. With her front flippers, the turtle dug out a “body pit.” She used her back flippers to dig a hole. Then the mother sea turtle deposited her eggs––120 in all! The eggs dropped into the hole or “egg cavity.” The turtle eggs were white and soft-shelled. They were a little like rubbery ping-pong balls. After the mother turtle had finished laying her eggs, she used her hind flippers to cover the nest with sand. The turtle buried her eggs to protect them. Covering the nest would also keep the eggs moist and at the right temperature. The mother turtle covered her nest so well that it was barely visible! Her task completed, the mother turtle crawled toward the water. She would not return. The eggs would hatch into baby sea turtles without any more help from their mother. As Lolly and Zack walked the beach, they spotted some turtle tracks in the sand. The tracks looked like tractor tire tracks, but they recognized them for what they were––loggerhead turtle tracks! “Look over there,” Zack said. “A turtle’s heading for the water. I bet she laid some eggs!” Lolly looked at the turtle. She couldn’t believe her eyes. It was Pancake! “I don’t believe it!” Lolly said, then added softly. “She’s all right.” “More than all right, I’d say!” Zack commented. Quietly, without disturbing Pancake, Lolly watched her special friend return to the ocean. She knew in her heart that the sea turtle was happy. Lolly felt very proud. Silently, Lolly made Pancake a promise. “I’ll protect your nest,” Lolly said to herself, “I promise!” Lolly and Zack searched for Pancake’s nest. When they finally found it, they carefully marked the spot. Lolly kept her promise. For two months, she checked on the nest to make sure nothing

McMurray wins Brickyard BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Jamie McMurray followed teammate Juan Pablo Montoya around and around historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway, almost resigned to settling for a second-place finish. McMurray had already won one big race this year and as a firm believer in fate, he figured Sunday’s Brickyard 400 was Montoya’s chance to celebrate. Only it didn’t play out that way. Not even close. Montoya suffered a heartbreaking defeat for the second consecutive year at Indy, opening the door for McMurray to become just the third driver in NASCAR history to win the Brickyard 400 and Daytona 500 in the same year. ASSOCIATeD PReSS “I really believe that this was Juan’s Jamie McMurray, left, and owner Chip Ganassi celebrate their weekend,” a sympathetic McMurray victory in the Brickyard 400 on Sunday. said. “I’m looking with 15 or 20 laps to go

and Juan is leading — not that I was content — but, if this is the way it’s supposed to be, then that’s just the way it is.” The win was huge for EarnhardtGanassi Racing, which this time last year was struggling to prove the team was stable and capable of competing for wins. On Sunday, Chip Ganassi became the first team owner to win the Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 in the same season. “When Juan was leading and I was in second, I am a big believer in fate, and I thought this was just the way it is meant to be,” McMurray said. “I won the 500, Dario (Franchitti) won the Indy 500 and Juan is gonna win this race. I really thought it was his day.” It was pit strategy that sunk Montoya, who started from the pole and led 86 of the 160 laps only to finish 32nd. A late caution for debris sent the field to pit road with Montoya as the leader,

COLLEGE SIGNING
BY SCOTT ADAMSON The marriage between the NASCAR Cup Series and Indianapolis Motor Speedway should be a motorsports love story for the ages. You have the most famous racing facility on earth — a hallowed ground for the gas-and-go crowd — hosting a highly popular form of racing. It’s a beautiful bride and a strapping groom joined together in a picturesque wedding, sure to live happily ever after. Only one problem, though. The couple has churned out 16 kids and most of them are pretty darn ugly. NASCAR would never speak ill of Indy and Indy will embrace NASCAR always and forever, but stock car racing at the Brickyard simply isn’t very good. It never has been and likely never will be at the 2.5-mile rectangle. Of course it’s easy to point to the infamous tire debacle in the 2008 Brickyard 400, the one where 52 of 160 laps were run under caution because the tires would hold up for only 12 laps. That is generally considered the worst NASCAR race ever staged in the modern era (or any era). But that was a tire issue, not a racing issue. The tires got fixed; the racing didn’t. Indy was designed for open wheel racing — the kind that features grounded rockets going really fast on a flat surface. Flat surfaces don’t serve stock car racing well. Sure, there have been some decent NASCAR events at the Brickyard, but nothing truly memorable. Matter of fact, five of the last 10 Brickyard 400s have seen the winner hold a margin of victory of more than a second. But when drivers speak of Indy, they always speak in reverent tones. No competitor is more reverent that Jeff Gordon, a four-time winner of the event whose Indiana roots make each checker special. “The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500 — guys like Rick Mears and A.J. Foyt, Johnny Rutherford, Al Unser — all those guys were heroes of mine that I aspired to be,” Gordon said. “Living in Indiana, racing around Indiana, Indianapolis Raceway Park,
and crew chief Brian Pattie called for a four-tire stop. McMurray crew chief Kevin “Bono” Manion went the opposite direction, settling for a two-tire stop in what Ganassi characterized as a “split strategy” that would ensure the organization would benefit from one of the two calls. “The only reason we could do that is because we knew (Montoya) was going for four,” Ganassi said. “As a team, we had sort of both strategies covered there, I guess.” As six cars, led by McMurray, beat Montoya off pit road, he immediately questioned the decision. The four tires put him in seventh on the restart with 18 laps to go, and he vented over his radio how difficult it was to pass in traffic. Trying hard to drive back to the front,

Dylan Walker won 13 games this year while pitching for South Rowan High and the South Rowan Legion team.
Turnaround Walker’s improvement this year caught CVCC’s attention BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
LANDIS — The stats that Dylan Walker put up in his first two American Legion seasons and his junior year of high school at South Rowan were not the stuff dreams are normally made of. Actually, they were the sort of ugly stats that encourage a pitcher to take up golf before he’s maimed by a line drive — or angry teammates. Walker was 2-7 in that dreary stretch while allowing 81 hits and 36 walks in 55 innings. His ERA was 8.35. But something happened to Walker when the calendar turned to 2010. While he looked the same, he was a different guy. He was one of the county’s best pitchers this year. Between high school and Legion, he won 13 games. He was All-Rowan County and All-
effective, he’s a college prospect. He’s headed to Catawba Valley Community College in Hickory, and if he keeps working to get better, he could pitch beyond that. Walker doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to critiquing his former self. “I used to be this little, whiny baby, and I’d lose my composure over nothing,” he said. Give Walker credit for maturing on the mound, and give South Rowan High coach Thad Chrismon credit for pushing him to make adjustments between his ears. South Rowan High had a discourjon c. lakey/SALISBURY POST aging 2009 season. Even with MaverSouth coach Thad Chrismon ick Miles and Blake Houston on the roster, the Raiders were 7-16. NPC.

MIAMI — The Florida Marlins’ latest pie-in-the-face celebration came with a twist: Wes Helms was a target twice, the Marlins 5 second time when 7-year-old son Braves 4 his delivered a platter of shaving cream to dad’s face in the clubhouse. “He more punched me than pied me,” Helms said with a grin. The Marlins’ walkoff-win ritual is becoming commonplace but hardly routine. Helms hit a bases-loaded RBI single with none out in the 11th inning Sunday, and Florida earned its fourth walkoff victory of the week, beating the Atlanta Braves 54. “You don’t see a stretch like this very often,” Helms said. “With the lead changes and the drama at the end of the games, it’s just amazing to see that in one week.” The Marlins went 7-3 on their homestand, with six wins by one run. The surge left them at .500 and still in playoff contention as they begin a West Coast trip Monday. “These kind of wins are fun,” said Dan Uggla, whose single in the 11th preceded Helms’ hit. “We would like to have a safe win and a nice little five- or six-run lead once in a while, but we’ll take them any way we can get them.” The Braves loaded the bases four times, including in the top of the 11th, and those situations produced only one run. They stranded 11 runners. “You let the other team off the hook that many times, eventually they’re going to cash in and beat you,” Atlanta’s Chipper Jones said. The NL East-leading Braves lost only their second series since early May. Florida’s Hanley Ramirez singled off Jesse Chavez (2-2) to start the 11th, and he took third on Uggla’s single. After Cody Ross was intentionally walked to load the bases, Helms hit an 0-1 pitch through the left side of the infield and was mobbed after rounding first base. Chris Coghlan hit Helms with a pie on the field. Wes Jr. — hoisted up by big rookie Mike Stanton — got dad again in the clubhouse. Helms is already plotting payback with his son. “I can get him when he’s sleeping,” Helms said. “He’s going to wake up with shaving cream over his whole body.” The Marlins’ shaky bullpen blew a lead for the second game in a row but held Atlanta scoreless over the final 31⁄3 innings. Jorge Sosa (2-2), who came up from Triple-A this week, pitched two scoreless innings. With the score tied in the 11th, Sosa gave up consecutive one-out singles to David Ross, Martin Prado and Jason Heyward to load the bases. But Nate McLouth grounded into an inning-ending double play. Trailing 4-3, Atlanta also loaded the bases with one out in the seventh, but Clay Hensley came on and got Troy Glaus to bounce into a double play.

ACC ready for the games to start BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
GREENSBORO — So much for a lazy summer at Atlantic Coast Conference headquarters. Realignment rumors. An NCAA investigation into agent involvement with players at one of its marquee institutions. No wonder the ACC is ready for the offseason to end and the football games to begin. “I guess this is our year to experience those problems and all that,” Wake Forest running back Josh Adams said Sunday during the league’s preseason media day. There surely hasn’t been any shortage of news around the ACC over the past few months. And not all of it was bad: the league recently announced a new broadcast package for football and men’s basketball that will be worth $1.86 billion from ESPN over 12 years, doubling the conference’s TV revenue. But most of the attention lately has focused on the NCAA investigation at North Carolina into whether two players received improper benefits from agents. With similar probes popping up at several Southeastern Conference schools, the issue of athletes’ involvement with agents quickly turned into the hot-button topic du jour in college sports. “It is kind of a distraction, but we kind of look at it as we’ve already taken our adversity for the season,” Tar Heels quarterback T.J. Yates said. “So once we get over this little speed bump, we’ll be able to put it behind us and go forward through the season.” ACC commissioner John Swofford — the former athletic director at North Carolina — dedicated nearly one-quarter of his hour-long question-and-answer session to the issue, voicing his support for the North Carolina Secretary of State’s investigation about potential misconduct involving agents and saying “we probably need to look at strengthening the law in this area.” The state requires sports agents to register in North Carolina and prohibits them from offering gifts before a contract is signed, with violators possibly facing penalties. “I suspect (the problem) has (worsened) some because of the dollars at the next level, in the NFL and the NBA,” Swofford said. “I think it’s also being paid more attention at this given point in time. While uncomfortable, I think that’s good. Having been an AD for 17 years ... the problem’s been there, and believe
me, as an AD, you feel, or as a coach, you feel vulnerable ... because it’s not an easy situation to control from an institutional standpoint. “You have to educate, educate, educate the athletes that are on campus,” he added. “And I think our schools do that.” A month earlier, all the talk in college circles centered around the possibility of another round of conference realignment, with concerns that uncertainty in the Big 12 and expansion by the Pac-10 and Big Ten would set off a chain reaction that would reshape the Football Bowl Subdivision. There were lingering questions about whether another conference would make a play for one or more ACC schools before the league ultimately stood pat. “There were a lot of conferences that certainly were more active in terms of what was done or potentially being done than we were,” Swofford said. “But rest assured, we were quietly evaluating that landscape and our internal discussions to determine what’s in our best interests moving forward, and what ramifications on the (ACC), if any, might come from expansion by other conferences. “Without question, at the presidential level of this league, there continues to be a strong commitment to each other, a strong commitment to the ACC, the belief that 12 is the right number for us, but a willingness, if the world changes around us, to take a look at what those changes mean. ... We’re very comfortable with, not only 12, but the 12 that we have.” The league’s powers-that-be spent the first of its two-day preseason media gathering to look ahead to not only the season’s beginning — but also its end. After five years in Florida, the ACC championship game moves closer to the center of the conference’s footprint when it comes to Charlotte — roughly a 90-minute drive from league headquarters — on the first weekend in December. “The road to Charlotte is going to be something very special,” said Michael Kelly, the league’s associate commissioner for football. The start of preseason practice means something to everyone who will snap on a helmet. But it means even more to a pair of linebackers who were kept out of the 2009 season for serious health-related reasons: Boston College’s Mark Herzlich, who stepped away to fight a rare form of cancera, and North Carolina State’s Nate Irving, who suffered a collapsed lung and a broken left leg in a grisly auto accident.

Angels deal for Haren PHOENIX (AP) — Dan Haren was traded to the Los Angeles Angels by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday for left-hander Joe Saunders and three other players. The last-place Diamondbacks also get right-hander Rafael Rodriguez, minor league pitcher Patrick Corbin and a player to be named. A three-time All-Star, Haren was one of the prized pitchers available as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches. He joins a Los Angeles rotation that is solid up front but is missing injured left-hander Scott Kazmir. “A top-of-the-rotation guy that’s going to help us not just this year but years down the road,” Angels general manager Tony Reagins said in Texas before his team played the Rangers. “The addition of Dan gives us five guys that are really talented.” It also counters a big move made recently by Texas when it picked up left-hander Cliff Lee.
San Diego finally sweeps Pirates Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Adrian Gonzalez and Chris Denorfia homered, Wade LeBlanc won for the first time in six weeks and the first-place San Diego Padres finished off its only series sweep in Pittsburgh since 1998 with a 6-3 victory. The Padres have won all 10 series in Pittsburgh since PNC Park opened in 2001, but hadn’t swept one there before outscoring the Pirates 20-8 in the three weekend games. Gonzalez’s two-run homer, his 21st, highlighted a five-run third inning against Pirates rookie Brad Lincoln (1-4), who was sent back to Triple-A after the game. No doubt LeBlanc (5-8) welcomed the support. The Padres scored an average of only 1.72 runs for him as he went winless 0-4 in six starts since beating Seattle 7-1 on June 12. Giants 3, Diamondbacks 2, 10 innings PHOENIX— Buster Posey had four hits to extend his hitting streak to 18 games and Travis Ishikawa hit a run-scoring single in the 10th inning, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Diamondbacks 3-2 on Sunday to complete their first four-game sweep in Arizona in nine years. Posey started the winning rally with a double, setting up Ishikawa’s single off Esmerling Vasquez (1-3) that easily scored pinch-runner Eli Whiteside and gave the Giants their first four-game sweep in Arizona since July 26-29, 2001. Phillies 4, Rockies 3 PHILADELPHIA — Jimmy Rollins singled home the tying run in the seventh inning then put the Phillies ahead for good by scoring on a wild pitch.

Lopez drove a 3-2 pitch from Brian Schlitter over the right-field wall for his sixth homer of the season to put the Cardinals back in the NL Central lead, a half game ahead of Cincinnati. The big hit came one day after Lopez was scratched from the starting lineup for arriving late to the park.

Angels deal for Haren PHOENIX (AP) — Dan Haren was traded to the Los Angeles Angels by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday for left-hander Joe Saunders and three other players. The last-place Diamondbacks also get right-hander Rafael Rodriguez, minor league pitcher Patrick Corbin and a player to be named. A three-time All-Star, Haren was one of the most prized pitchers available as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches. He joins a Los Angeles rotation that is solid up front but is missing injured left-hander Scott Kazmir. “A top-of-the-rotation guy that’s going to help us not just this year but years down the road,” Angels general manager Tony Reagins said in Texas before his team played the Rangers. “The addition of Dan gives us five guys that are really talented.” It also counters a big move made recently by Texas, which had a six-game lead in the AL West over the Angels going into Sunday night’s game.
San Diego finally sweeps Pirates Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Adrian Gonzalez and Chris Denorfia homered, Wade LeBlanc won for the first time in six weeks and the first-place San Diego Padres finished off its only series sweep in Pittsburgh since 1998 with a 6-3 victory. The Padres have won all 10 series in Pittsburgh since PNC Park opened in 2001, but hadn’t swept one there before outscoring the Pirates 20-8 in the three weekend games. Gonzalez’s two-run homer, his 21st, highlighted a five-run third inning against Pirates rookie Brad Lincoln (1-4), who was sent back to Triple-A after the game. No doubt LeBlanc (5-8) welcomed the support. The Padres scored an average of only 1.72 runs for him as he went winless 0-4 in six starts since beating Seattle 7-1 on June 12. Giants 3, Diamondbacks 2, 10 innings PHOENIX— Buster Posey had four hits to extend his hitting streak to 18 games and Travis Ishikawa hit a run-scoring single in the 10th inning, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Diamondbacks 3-2 on Sunday to complete their first four-game sweep in Arizona in nine years. Posey started the winning rally with a double, setting up Ishikawa’s single off Esmerling Vasquez (1-3) that easily scored pinch-runner Eli Whiteside and gave the Giants their first four-game sweep in Arizona since July 26-29, 2001. Phillies 4, Rockies 3 PHILADELPHIA — Jimmy Rollins singled home the tying run in the seventh inning then put the Phillies ahead for good by scoring on a wild pitch. Astros 4, Reds 0 HOUSTON — Wandy Rodriguez allowed

san Francisco catcher Buster posey rips one of his four hits on sunday. one hit in seven innings, Hunter Pence and Chris Johnson homered for the Astros. Brewers 8, Nationals 3 MILWAUKEE — Casey McGehee and Rickie Weeks homered and the Milwaukee Brewers scored five unearned runs off starter Ross Detwiler. Dodgers 1, Mets 0 LOS ANGELES — Clayton Kershaw scattered seven hits over eight innings in his first start since appealing a five-game suspension and Russell Martin hit a late RBI double in the Dodgers’ victory over the
punchless Mets. Mets starter R.A. Dickey came out in the sixth with an injured left leg. Cardinals 4, Cubs 3, 11 innings CHICAGO — Felipe Lopez hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the 11th inning. Lopez drove a 3-2 pitch from Brian Schlitter over the right-field wall for his sixth homer of the season to put the Cardinals back in the NL Central lead, a half game ahead of Cincinnati. The big hit came one day after Lopez was scratched from the starting lineup for arriving late to the park.
Granderson grand for Yankees in romp Associated Press
NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson hit a pair of homers, Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs — the last when he was hit by a pitch on the hand — and the New York Yankees waited out a long rain delay to beat the Kansas City Royals 126 on Sunday. Rodriguez will take his pursuit of 600 home runs on the road after failing to reach the
milestone for the third straight day. Athletics 6, White Sox 4 OAKLAND, Calif. — Dallas Braden won for the first time in 10 starts since his perfect game May 9, ending a five-game losing streak in Oakland’s victory over Chicago. Mariners 4, Red Sox 2 SEATTLE — Michael Saunders lined a two-run single off reliever Hideki Okajima in the eighth inning to give Seattle the
lead. Rays 4, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — Reid Brignac hit a three-run homer that helped Wade Davis remain unbeaten in July. Twins 10, Orioles 4 BALTIMORE — Jason Kubel hit his seventh career grand slam, Kevin Slowey took a fivehitter into the seventh inning and Minnesota beat Baltimore to end a run of four consecutive road series losses.
Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3 Tigers 6, Blue Jays 5 DETROIT — Ryan Raburn’s three-run double in the eighth inning capped a four-run rally that carried injury-depleted Detroit past Toronto for a split of their day-night doubleheader. Rangers 6, Angels 4 ARLINGTON, Texas — Josh Hamilton drove in three runs, and Tommy Hunter pitched into the seventh inning to remain unbeaten.

Contador wins third Tour de France
INDY FROM 1B
Associated Press
jON C. LAkEy/SALISBURY POST
JEFF GORDON ish and featured breathtaking finales. Look at the history of the Brickyard 400 and you’ll mostly find races that are notable only because they took place at the cathedral of racing — not because they had any real, stock carstyle excitement.
PARIS — Alberto Contador won his third Tour de France on Sunday, heralding the arrival of a new cycling superstar, as seven-time champion Lance Armstrong competed in the race for the last time. Mark Cavendish of Britain led a sprint to win the 20th and final stage — a largely ceremonial 63.7-mile course from Longjumeau to the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Contador of Spain sealed his third title in four years by holding off a challenge from his main rival, Andy Schleck of Luxembourg, in Saturday’s individual time trial. Schleck finished second, 39 seconds back, and Denis Menchov of Russia was third overall. • BEND, Ore. — Disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis is racing this week in central Oregon, far removed from the Tour de France and the victory that has come to symbolize a tainted era for the sport. Landis rode Saturday night in the
FROM 1B he lost control of his Chevrolet and crashed hard into the wall before bouncing into Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s car. Montoya drove his battered car directly to the garage and did not comment as he left the track. “We had a rough day. Great car and great team effort. Nice to see the 1 car win. I know it means a lot for Chip,” he later posted on his Twitter page. A year ago, he led 116 laps before a late speeding penalty cost him the victory. Pattie took the blame for Sunday’s failure, “bad call. Crew chief error. We should have taken two tires,” and the rest of Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing teetered along the fine line of celebrating for McMurray while sympathizing with Montoya. “I know he’s mad,” Ganassi said of Montoya. “I’m sure he’s mad. But he’s over it. It’s racing. This is what he does for a living.” It’s for sure a tough one to swallow, though, particularly with how poorly the year has gone for Montoya. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship last season, but has been plagued by horrible luck this year and sits a distant 22nd in the current standings. So the No. 42 team had its sights set on Indy, where the former Indianapolis 500 winner would get his shot at redemption.
“We know what is expected when it comes to Notre Dame football. It had a national following from coast-tocoast. ... I understand the enormous task and responsibility of the position or I wouldn’t have taken it. But I don’t think I get caught up everyday thinking about it either.”
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
HOCKENHEIM, Germany — Fernando Alonso has passed Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa to win the Formula One German Grand Prix. Massa’s second place Sunday came on the first anniversary of an accident that nearly killed him. Massa led the race for 49 of 67 laps. Alonso won his second race of the season.
CHICAGO — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly’s reach goes well beyond the football field. It has to, because his new job demands it. Well-traveled from meeting Fighting Irish alumni and fans across the country, he knows how his past successes and ability to transform programs at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati have ramped up the expectations for a storied program hoping to be a championship contender again. “I took the job knowing that full well,” Kelly said Saturday before a fundraiser for his foundation that supports breast cancer research.

Jamie McMurray celebrates Sunday’s Brickyard 400 triumph with a tradional burnout. Instead, it was McMurray in Victory Lane, where he joined Jimmie Johnson (2006) and Dale Jarrett (1996) as the only drivers to win both the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in the same season. Not too shabby for a guy who wasn’t sure if he’d have a ride this time last year: RoushFenway Racing had to let him go to meet NASCAR’s four-car cap, and McMurray wasn’t hired to rejoin his old team until right before the November season finale. “The guy that’s got to feel like an idiot tonight has to be Jack Roush,” team co-owner Felix Sabates said. “He’s the one that let him go.” McMurray had to contend with current points leader Kevin Harvick after Mon-
WALKER FROM 1B earned, and each one drove him crazy. “He’d get flustered when he made a mistake and he’d get flustered when his teammates made an error behind him,” Chrismon said. Chrismon sat Walker down several months before his senior season and told him the score. The message was simple: “We’ve got some good young players coming up, but if the seniors don’t lead, we still won’t be any good.” Walker played football every fall for South, but he spent this past winter longtossing and refining his pitching mechanics. He did something baseball-related every day instead of dabbling with sports he’d tried earlier such as basketball and swimming. “Coach Chrismon had pretty much told me that he was really counting on me,” Walker said. “I was going into my senior season and I knew I had to finally do something.” Opening day — six innings, three hits, one run against A.L. Brown — got Walker off on the right foot. His second outing — a nine-strikeout, twohitter on the road at West Rowan — established him as an ace and a changed young man. No more whiny baby. “I was throwing a lot of changeups and mixing in the curveball,” Walker said. “When I threw a fastball, I was able to keep it low.” Chrismon, who pitched with distinction at UNC and enjoyed a brief pro career, watched with satisfaction as Walker carved up powerful lineups. He pitched a four-hitter against a Carson team that
fourth stage of the Cascade Cycling Classic through downtown Bend, where he was met by a smattering of cheers and boos by some of the 10,000 spectators. The appearance came a day after ABC’s Nightline ran a report in which Landis again accused seventime Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong of using drugs.

DYLAN WALKER would win 20. “What Dylan really did a wonderful job of as a senior was staying within his ability,” Chrismon said. “If it looked like he was a different pitcher, it’s because he was a different pitcher. He could throw three pitches for strikes in any count, and that will make you successful. “Everyone gets so enamored with velocity, but what Dylan showed this year is that a pitcher can beat a very good team as long as he locates, gets ahead and mixes it up.” People saw a new Walker in more ways than one. South’s toughest loss of the spring probably was a 5-4 disaster at West Iredell in which Walker carried a 4-2 lead into the bottom of the seventh. That still didn’t shake him. His next start, he pitched six sharp innings, allowed two hits and struck out eight. “Dylan got mentally tougher and that helped our team get mentally tougher this season,” Chrismon said.
toya’s wreck. Harvick slid past McMurray for the lead right before the caution came out for Montoya, and McMurray had to reclaim on the restart with 11 laps remaining. Harvick finished second for Richard Childress Racing. Greg Biffle was third in a Ford for Roush-Fenway Racing and was followed by RCR’s Clint Bowyer and twotime Brickyard winner Tony Stewart. Jeff Burton, the third RCR entry, was sixth. Carl Edwards in a Ford was seventh and was followed by Kyle Busch in the highest-finishing Toyota, his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Joey Logano and Kurt Busch, who in 10th was the highest-finishing Dodge.
“I put him in all the toughest games because we were a different team when he pitched. He didn’t get flustered if we made a miscue behind him, and we made some nice comebacks.” Walker finished 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA and had twice as many strikeouts as walks. South finished 16-10, nine more wins than the previous year. You have to go back to 1996 to find a season when South won more than 16. The American Legion season meant facing stronger, deeper lineups, but Walker, who had just one career Legion victory coming into the summer, went 7-1 and tied the program record for wins. “I used my fastball a lot more than I did in high school and was able to hit spots, but the biggest things was just being more composed on the mound,” Walker said. “Legion lineups are good, and if somebody got a hit, so what, I just went on to the next hitter.” Walker said the first recruiting letter he received was from Catawba Valley Community College, and coach Frank Pait stayed in touch with him during the school year, encouraging him to keep pushing. Belmont Abbey showed interest in Walker, but he made his decision to head to CVCC. That’s the program that wanted him longest, and he’ll have a chance to live there with Legion teammate and fellow pitcher Randy Shepherd. “Dylan’s got a chance at a good future,” Chrismon said. “Unless you can throw the ball above bat speed — and not many guys can — you’d better be good at the other things. “Dylan’s very good at the other things. His changeup and curve are excellent, and they’ll make his fastball seem a whole lot faster.”

all over the place — it was every short track, open wheel and NASCAR driver’s dream to race at Indianapolis one day.” I can certainly understand the lure of the Brickyard. When a driver climbs into the cockpit and gets up to speed while stealing a glance at the mammoth facility he or she probably thinks, “Wow, I’m racing at the coolest track ever built.” I get it. The tradition is second to none and there’s a lot to be said for tradition. But the real traditions — and the greatest — are reserved for the men Gordon mentioned and the racing discipline they practice.

No quick fix for the lungs Dear Dr. Gott: Is there a cleansing recipe I can make at home to clear out toxins in my lungs? Being a former smoker, I want to make sure that my lungs are as clear and clean as possible. Dear Reader: The lungs are organs the body cannot live without. Unfortunately, many people function with lungs that are not healthy, resulting in countless upper-respiratory infections and difficulties throughout their lives. The air we DR. PETER breathe is GOTT filled with impurities — from firsthand, secondhand or thirdhand cigarette smoke; cleaning-solution chemicals; automobile-exhaust fumes; and many other sources. Herbal remedies for cleansing are many and include lotus-root tea, lemon juice, antioxidants, minerals, watercress soup and a host of other combinations. Save your money. Once damage is done to your lungs, the only effective treatment is to refrain from smoking and to limit possible exposure. If you have not already had one, request a chest X-ray to determine whether your habit has done any harm. If so, you may wish to make an appointment with a pulmonologist, who can provide some direction. Each second, minute, hour and day you breathe without exposing yourself to toxins works toward the purification
goal. I am sure that I will be chastised for panning cleansing recipes, but I find it hard to understand how blackened lungs will improve by drinking lemon juice or eating a bowl of watercress soup. You have recognized the dangers of smoking and have taken steps to correct the problem. By doing so, you are already on the path to a healthier life. The task of making a decision to discontinue smoking is not an easy one. Congratulations to you. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Pulmonary Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: You recently wrote about the benefits of cod-liver oil. Is there a downside? Are there likely to be significant quantities of heavy metals or other toxic substances concentrated in cods’ livers? Dear Reader: Generally speaking, cod-liver oil is safe for most people. It can, however, result in belching, heartburn, halitosis and nosebleeds in some users when taken on an empty stomach. When taken with meals, these unwanted symptoms are vastly reduced. High doses of the supplement may be unsafe in that they can keep blood from clotting, may increase the
chance of bleeding, cause loose stools and nausea, and cause blood pressure to drop to dangerously low levels. People on hypertensive medication should check with their physicians before using it and should be monitored periodically to avoid unwanted consequences. There are also reports of vitamins A and D being too high in some users while on the supplement. Cod-liver oil is no different than any other supplement in that you should check with your physician before using it. He or she best knows your medical history and can provide appropriate guidance. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. United FeatUre Syndicate
Achieving a balance between keeping your mind open to new means of expression and doing things the old way will be extremely helpful in the year ahead. Finding new ways to handle certain conditions can change your life. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Regardless of what has caused you to be static in your thinking right now, you need some creative changes to get back on track. Don't be your own worst enemy by refusing to alter your thinking. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Hanging on too tightly to what you have acquired will make you extremely possessive and unable to enjoy the fruits of your labors. Until you can let go, you'll miss out on life. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — There's a strong chance that you have reached a point of feeling that your daily routine, relationships and job have all become a source of dull routine. It's just the day, things will change. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — You've had enough of people telling you what to do, how and when to do it, and are tempted to leave. Don't let the bad aspects of the day break up what you have going. Tomorrow will be different. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Take your feelings of frustration calmly instead of flying off the handle at the least bit of provocation. Change what you can, but don't go so far as to wreck everything. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Reaching that point of enough is enough can work in your favor if you keep your head about what's going on. Just remember: emotional readjustments aren't necessarily warranted. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — It's important to you to always keep your thinking flexible and open to change, but it isn't always possible under certain emotional conditions. This might be one of those times. Leave those issues to another day. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Very few people have strong enough self-esteem to handle what's coming your way. Don't beat yourself up if you are having one of those days when you think everyone is against you. It's not. Aries (March 21-April 19) — There may be dozens of people all around you urging you to follow the status quo, but you're not a static organism. The creative change you need is likely to fall on deaf ears. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Either you will succeed in making a statement of uniqueness, or you will remain in a state of extreme tension and aggravation. Even if you get to do what you want, it's not apt to be accepted. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — It's important for you to be able to keep your perceptions carefree, fluid and open to new expression, but it doesn't mean others will accept them. Disappointment can be big at this time. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There's a strong possibility that you have settled into a pattern of rigidity lately and, unfortunately, being uncompromising will make you an enemy of those who want things another way.

Compete against their pre-empts BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
If your opponents are going to make jump overcalls (our topic last week), you must come prepared to fight back. We will look at the important methods this week. First, what does a new suit by responder show? At the two-level — perhaps one club (two hearts) - two spades — it guarantees at least a five-card suit and 10-plus points (or a good nine). It is forcing for one round. But a new suit at the threelevel — for example, one club - (two hearts) three diamonds — promises at least a fivecard suit and is gameforcing. In this deal, South responded two spades.
New Jersey governor is not a fan of MTV’s ‘Jersey Shore’ TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — “Jersey Shore” may have many fans, but New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn’t among them. During an appearance Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” host Jake Tapper asked Christie if he thought the MTV program — which focuses on the escapades of a group of hard-partying 20something Italian-Americans at a shore house — was positive or negative for his
Monday, July 26
state. Christie said the show is negative, and it “takes a bunch of New Yorkers, drops them at the Jersey Shore and tries to make America feel like this is New Jersey.” Many Italian-American groups have said the show is offensive and relies on crude stereotypes. The governor says anyone who wants to learn about “the real New Jersey” should visit.
Then, when North raised, South launched Blackwood before jumping to six spades. He knew a grand slam would be against the
odds because North had shown a minimum opening bid. With extra values, North would have rebid four spades. After West led the heart two, how did South plan the play? Whenever you have A-Q10 or A-Q-9 opposite three or four low cards, try to engineer an elimination and endplay. South won with dummy’s heart ace, drew trumps, played a club to dummy, ruffed a heart in his hand, returned to dummy with a club, trumped the last heart, and went over to the final club honor. With trumps drawn and the other two side suits eliminated, declarer played a diamond to his 10. West won with his jack but was endplayed. He had either to lead back into declarer’s diamond ace-queen or to concede a ruff-andsluff.

Langer wins first senior major title Associated Press
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — Bernhard Langer won his first senior major title on Sunday, holding off a finalround challenge from Corey Pavin for a one-stroke win in the Senior British Open. The German shot a 1-over 72 at Carnoustie to finish at 5-under 279. Pavin ended with a 1-under 70. Pavin, the American Ryder Cup captain, trailed by three shots at the start of the fourth round but cut the gap to two when he birdied his second hole of the day. Langer survived threeputting both the 8th and 9th greens. After making birdie at 15, he parred his way to his 11th win in three years on the Champions Tour. Pavin finished three strokes ahead of Americans Fred Funk, Jay Don Blake and Russ Cochran and Australian Peter Senior. Tom Watson finished with 74 for a 6-over 290. The 60year-old American said he would return next year to play in both the British Open and Senior British Open.

to the finals. COWBOYS SAN ANTONIO — Dallas Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant said he is in training camp to catch passes, not carry somebody else’s shoulder pads after practice. When receiver Roy Williams handed his pads to Bryant on Sunday after the team’s first camp session in pads, the rookie who was the Cowboy’s first-round draft pick last April didn’t carry them. Veteran players traditionally hand their pads to a rookie after practice. “I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player’s pads,” Bryant said. “If I was a free agent, it would still be the same thing.” Williams said every rookie has go to through such rituals during their first season. He said he carried pads and paid for meals when he was a rookie for the Detroit Lions in 2004. “No matter if you’re a No. 1 pick or the 7,000th pick, you’ve still got to do something when you’re a rookie,” Williams said.

SOCCER KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Davy Arnaud and Kei Kamara scored first-half goals and the Kansas City Wizards beat Manchester United 2-1 Sunday in front of the largest crowd to see a soccer match in Kansas City. A crowd of 52,342, the biggest for Manchester United on its North American tour so far — eclipsed the 37,319 who witnessed a World Cup qualifier here in 2001. The crowd may have also been drawn partly out of curiosity to see the newly renovated Arrowhead Stadium.
