County says census numbers aren’t accurate ures according to a formula. But even if the housing numbers are wrong, that doesn’t mean the county’s population will go up, Rollans said. The bureau may simply have put 1,500 houses in the wrong blocks, which are the smallest geographic units for which census data is broken down. “You would think if that was the case, some blocks would be way overcounted as well,” he said. “But we found more that are under than over.” Rollans said he doesn’t know if the county or any of its municipalities have challenged census counts before. The town of China Grove also plans to dispute its numbers this year, and town officials say recently annexed residents were not counted. (See related story.) Muire also is submitting China Grove’s challenge, because the county handles the town’s zoning and planning. He said the process will take longer for Rowan County’s dispute, but he plans to submit that documentation by the end of this year. He said he doesn’t know how long it would take for any changes would be made. “We’re hoping that it comes out in our favor, and that these houses ... will turn out to be verified and changed,” Rollans said. “Even if it doesn’t mean that we gain in population, it will at least help us to feel confident about the statistics.”

SALISBURY — Rowan County plans to challenge its 2010 U.S. Census count after identifying about 1,500 houses that may have been left out. County GIS Coordinator Adrian Rollans said planning staff noticed that for some areas of the county, the census numbers and the county’s records were different. “We know where houses are for 911 purposes, and we can locate them within the census blocks,” Rollans said. “When we got the data for the blocks, they didn’t match in certain areas with what we have.” The county also compared the census data, which was released in March of this year, to its 2010 aerial photography, said Planning Director Ed Muire. “Where we saw major discrepancies — by more than 10 — we had real concerns about what was going on,” Muire said. The planning department then asked officials with the U.S. Census Bureau how to dispute the numbers. “We are required to submit maps and lists of all addresses we think may be in the wrong place or may not be counted,” Rollans said. The county does not have to prove that anyone lived in those houses at the time of the 2010 census — only that they were livable. If the bureau determines that the housing count should be changed, it Contact reporter Karissa Minn at will adjust the county’s population fig- 704-797-4222.

China Grove also challenges population findings B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — According to the 2010 census between 800 and 900 people left the town of China Grove. It’s a figure the town is working to disprove. The difference, town officials believe, came about when census takers did not count a portion of residents who’d been annexed into town limits a number of years ago. “The state has a number and the county has a number. The census came back with a different number,” said China Grove Interim Town Manager Ken Deal. The town essentially has to prove they have more people than the census counted. When town officials looked at the results from the census, they knew the numbers didn’t add up with numbers the town had used in previous counts. “It’s quite common according to the folks I’ve spoken with. There are going to be some mistakes made,” Deal said. The town could not file an appeal until July, he said. No other surrounding municipalities are disputing their census population numbers, but Rowan County has its own concerns. (see related story.) The county handles China Grove’s zoning and planning and are submitting the town’s dispute.

CONCORD — A company that makes components for high-tech batteries celebrated the opening of its new Concord manufacturing plant Monday by announcing it will hire 250 more people than previously planned. Officials with Charlotte-based Celgard said in April 2010 the company would spend $91 million expanding manufacturing capacity, including a $57 million plant in Cabarrus that would employ about 200 workers by 2014. In March, the company said it planned to spend another $65 million in Cabarrus and hire an additional 100 employees. The latest announcement came Monday at a ceremony attended by Gov. Bev Perdue and U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu. The Celgard factory received nearly $50 million in stimulus funding from the Energy Department in 2009 and a visit by President Barak Obama last year. The company makes high-tech battery components, including membranes used in advanced lithium batteries for electric cars. The expansion will cost Celgard another $105 million over the next two years and result in engineering and manufacturing jobs with an average annual salary of $37,912 not including benefits. The Cabarrus annual average salary is $32,448. “We are excited about our plans for an additional expansion of our Concord facility,” Celgard President Mitch Pulwer said. “Celgard and our parent

Tom Webb trying to re-enter politics after prison stint BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

COOLEEMEE — Former Rowan County Commissioner Tom Webb says he wants to help the town of Cooleemee make progress, move on from its past and look forward into its future. For more than a decade, he’s been working to do the same in his own life. Webb moved from Rowan to the Davie County town in late 1999, shortly after his release from federal prison after serving more than two years on gun law violations. As a convicted felon, he could not vote, sit on a jury or hold public office until his citizenship rights were restored in July of 2005. The WEBB former Granite Quarry gun shop owner cannot carry a firearm. On July 8, he filed for mayor of Cooleemee. He is the only one challenging incumbent Lynn Rumley for the seat in 2011. “I’ve worked at restoring who Tom is, and I want to help people,” Webb said in an interview last Wednesday. “I want to help the town of Cooleemee, the county of Davie and also the county of Rowan.” The 61-year-old retired after working for seven or eight years at Schaefer Interstate Railing, where

Three former councilmen look to get back on China Grove board BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — Three former Town Council members are trying to reclaim seats on the board after some absence, while longtime Mayor Don Bringle has no challengers for his office. Incumbents Lee Withers and Ron Overcash are also looking to return to the board. This is challenger Donnie Herring’s first attempt at elected office. Butch Bivens, 62, served previously for a total of 14 years and hopes to fill one of two available seats. Allen Welter, 68, served on the board from 2005 to 2009, while for-

mer police chief Steve Stroud, 58, was appointed to the board in early 2000. Bivens, whose last term on the board ended in 2010, said in a statement the main reason he’s running is for “planned and controlled growth and economic development for the town.” Welter wants to “create more transparency in local government,” he said in a statement. Stroud has a desire to serve the community again, he said in a statement. He also hopes to be a part of the selection process to hire a new town manager, he said, to ensure “that we get a manager that can understand

Thelma Smith Foundation, South Branch, hosts Back-2-School Jam BY CYNTHIA HOOPER For the Salisbury Post

ALISBURY — The third annual Thelma Smith Back-2-School Jam was held Saturday afternoon at Kelsey Scott Park. People from as far away as South Carolina came to enjoy the event that focused on education and community togetherness. Visitors enjoyed free hot dogs and drinks, games and the musical stylings of DJ Panic, Power 98 and local rap group Ross City. The Thelma Smith Foundation-South Branch hosted the event, which focused on giving back to kids and the community as well as making education its first priority. All the children received a back-to-school pack filled with school supplies and other necessities. There was face painting, a cake walk, a relay race and other games at no cost to the participants. Local businesses, such as Domino’s, Papa John’s and T-Mobile donated prizes for the games and raffles. Alexis “Lex” Smith, Thelma Smith’s son, formed the Thelma Smith Foundation following the death of his mother in 2004 and incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 2008. Thelma Smith was instrumental is helping children in Harlem come together as a community through back-to-school events and basketball tournaments. Realizing the program was so successful in New York, Alexis Smith decided to expand. Since many of the children who participated in New York were attended Livingstone College, he decided that Salisbury would be a good place to expand to. Smith got together with Melissa Summers, Lamar Brothers and Kay Ferrens to create the South Branch.

According to the Thelma Smith Foundation website, the organization provides youth leadership, education and community service programs in a safe and supportive environment. The broad scope of services provides youth leadership, education, antiviolence programs, recreation, sports programs and creative arts for children in grades 1-12. Alexis Smith attended Saturday’s event in Salisbury with his wife, Francine, their granddaughter, Kalya, and Francine’s mother, Kay Ferrens. Melissa Summers, media marketing executive for the Thelma Smith FoundationSouth Branch, coordinated the event. She was pleased with the large turnout despite the heat, saying the event had already enticed 250 people to stop by the park by 1 p.m. Summers said the event was publicized on social media sites Twitter and Facebook and it really brought a lot of people out. Fundraiser coordinator for the Foundation, Melissa Gladden, enjoys having the event at Kelsey Scott Park and has participated for the last three years. Gladden was pleased that even in the rough economy, sponsors were able to donate items to make back to school easier on peoples’ wallets. “People still do care out here. We know you’re hurting, we know you’re struggling, and we are here and we will help you,” Gladden said. Happy to have a weekend off from his construction job, Edward “Ed-Lover” Connor, was in charge of grilling the hot dogs for the third year in a row. The self-proclaimed ‘Hot Dog Master” was not sure how many dogs he had cooked Saturday afternoon, but he knew there sure were a lot of them.

Alexis Smith, who formed the south branch of the foundation, is shown with his wife, Francine Smith, holding granddaughter Kayla, and Kay Ferrens, Francine’s mother. In addition to food and games, entertainment was rap group, Ross City, from Salisbury. The four siblings in the group attended North Rowan High School and have been performing together as a foursome for the last 18 months. Managed by their mother, the groups hopes to promote its non-violent, cuss-free rap as an alternative to music filled with violence and hate. Touching on real-life issues in their music, people in the crowd shook their heads and cheered for the group between songs. Dwight “Cannon” Ross, 22, produces their CDs and hopes one day to have his own recording label. Other members of the group are 20-year-old Derrell “Lil Snap” Ross, 23-year-old Desiree “First Lady” Ross and 26-year-old Damon “Young Flame” Ross.

Lanes on three Interstate 85 bridges in Davidson County will be closed today and tomorrow so the bridges can be inspected, the N.C. Department of Transportation said. And the state agency will close a 6-mile section of northbound Interstate 85 near the Yadkin River between midnight and 6 a.m. Wednesday to demolish the N.C. 150 bridge over the interstate. Traffic will be detoured through Spencer during that time. For the inspections: • Today, crews will close the right lane of the I-85 South bridge over U.S. 29/70 and N.C. 150, as well as the right lane of the I85 South bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks. Both closures will start at 9 a.m. and end at 1 p.m. • On Wednesday, DOT will close the right lane of the I-85 North bridge over the Norfolk Southern Railroad tracks from 9 a.m. until noon, weather permitting. The Department of Transportation encourages drivers in the area to slow down, stay alert and allow extra time to reach their destinations. During the bridge demolition: The I-85 northbound closure will extend from Old Union Church Road (Exit 79) to Clark Road (Exit 85). It will start at midnight and end at 6 a.m., weather permitting. During the closure, motorists traveling on I-85 North must take the following detour route: • Take Exit 79 and turn left onto Old Union Church Road. Follow it into Spencer; • Turn right onto U.S. 29/70 (Main Street) and take it across the Yadkin River; • Turn left onto Old Salisbury Road; • Turn right onto Clark Road and follow it back to I-85 North. Law enforcement officers will be stationed along the detour to help traffic move safely through the area. While traveling in the work zone, motorists are advised to slow down, pay attention and follow the posted construction signs. The Transportation Department scheduled the closure for the overnight hours to minimize the impact to traffic. The demolition work is part of the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project, the state’s top mobility project. Crews will demolish the N.C. 150 bridge over I-85 North on Wednesday. In the coming days, they will tear down the N.C. 150 bridge over I-85 South. Contractor Flatiron-Lane will build a reconfigured, more efficient interchange. The first phase of the project, which includes this work, is scheduled to be complete by January 2013. For more information on the I-85 Corridor Improvement Project, visit www.i85yadkinriver.com.

Rowan and Cabarrus county community leaders to brainstorm about STEM initiatives B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — Community leaders from a variety of backgrounds will gather next week to brainstorm about local STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Math — initiatives. Dr. Carol Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, and Dr. Dari Caldwell, president of Rowan Regional Medical Center, are hosting the meeting at the college’s biotechnology building at N.C. Research Campus. “STEM is the wave of the future, we know that,” Spalding said. “Now we need to come together and do something about it.” The meeting, set for 4 p.m. Aug. 3, will include feedback from everyone, from faith-based leaders to economic development officials. “The goal is to ensure all of these community leaders are committed to promoting STEM education in order to positively impact Rowan and Cabarrus counties and to determine some next steps for how they can do that,” Paula Dibley, public information officer for the college, said. Spalding said with 79 percent of Rowan-Cabarrus graduates coming from STEM fields, the college is hoping to bolster its STEM initiatives. “With our second set of graduates from our biotechnology program at NCRC and a LEED-gold (certified) classroom and laboratory building, we are emphasizing science, technology, engineering and math more than ever before,” she said. Members of the Cabarrus-Rowan community STEM design team will also give updates about upcoming programs. “It’s a good time to check in on progress and needs,” Dibley said. • • • The Rowan-Salisbury School System will give an update on one project. School officials will provide information about the

RSVP to the meeting Community leaders interested in attending the STEM meeting at 4 p.m. Aug. 3 can RSVP to Valarie Stewart at 704210-5377 or fvstewart@novanthealth.org or Rolane Ramsey at 704-216-3706 or rolane.ramsey@rccc.edu district’s $300,000 Golden Leaf Foundation grant titled “Leveraging our Biotechnology and Motorsports to Maximize STEM Performance.” Anne Ellis, science specialist at Horizons Unlimited, said the grant will serve eighth-graders, 16 each from North Rowan, Erwin, Corriher-Lipe and West Rowan middle schools, in under-represented populations such as girls and economically disadvantaged students. “The curriculum modules include scientific method, fitness, innovation and technological design, physical science content, kinesiology and integrated mathematics,” she said. Ellis said in the fall, students will complete the modules and the pre-fitness assessment, which includes a treadmill, strength and bike performance tests, at the Human Performance Lab at the Research Campus. During the spring semester, students will take part in an engineering and design challenge to enhance their cooperation, communication and teamwork by working with a pit crew in a competition at Rockingham Dragway. “This is a wonderful opportunity to provide a ‘hook’ for students to look forward to coming to school and doing some real-world science application,” Ellis said. The district is also planning to turn Knox Middle into a STEM school. Details of that transition have yet to be announced. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Netflix braces for growth slowdown, stock plunges rentals and Internet-delivered video for a single price, Netflix informed subscribers two weeks ago that it would sell the two entertainment options as separate plans. The change means customers will have to pay substantially more if they want to get both DVDs and Internet video from Netflix. For instance, a bundled plan that had been priced at $10 per month will now cost $16 per month, beginning Sept. 1, for existing customers. The prices of other popular bundled plans will rise by 20 percent to 33 percent. Netflix expects most customers to pick between the DVD or streaming plan to avoid getting hit with a higher bill if they subscribe to both plans. The company said it anticipates another group of subscribers is so infuriated with the rate changes that they will stop being customers entirely. Management didn’t estimate how many subscribers will can-

cel, but a large customer exodus appears to be factored into the company’s forecast for the current quarter. Netflix expects to add as few as 190,000 subscribers or as many as 1.29 million subscribers in the current quarter. Either figure will be a falloff from the 1.9 million subscribers added in the AprilJune period to propel Netflix’s total customers to nearly 25.6 million. In last year’s third quarter, Netflix added nearly 2 million subscribers. If the growth falls on the lower end of the range, it would represent the lowest number of subscribers that Netflix has picked up during a three-month stretch since the second quarter of 2008 when it added 168,000 customers. Back then, Netflix only operated in the U.S. It now has 1 million Canadian customers who subscribe to the Internet streaming service. The company plans to ex-

pand into Latin America later this year. “We hate making our subscribers upset with us, but we feel like we provide a fantastic service,” Netflix CEO Reed Hastings wrote in a letter announcing the second-quarter results and forecast.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Netflix Inc. is bracing for customer backlash that could result in its slowest subscriber growth in more than three years amid changes to its online video and DVD rental service that will raise prices by as much as 60 percent. The sobering forecast issued Monday overshadowed the second-quarter earnings that accompanied the company’s outlook. Netflix’s shares plummeted more than 10 percent, largely because the company expects its results for the current quarter ending in September to miss the targets set by stock market analysts. The shortfall stems from an anticipated slowdown in Netflix’s subscriber growth amid the most radical change in the company’s pricing since it began renting DVDs through the mail 12 years ago. Instead of offering packages that combine DVD

Former aide denies giving Edwards file to feds RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A lawyer for a former aide to John Edwards on Monday denied willfully providing offlimits information to federal prosecutors pursuing criminal charges against the twotime presidential candidate. The denial, made in a court filing, comes after lawyers for former Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mistress Rielle Hunter filed a motion last week seeking a contempt charge against Andrew Young and his wife. Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers contend the Youngs or their legal team gave prosecutors material from her civil lawsuit, potentially including a deposition of Edwards that has been sealed. The Youngsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawyer denied â&#x20AC;&#x153;willfullyâ&#x20AC;? giving the files to prosecutors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The defendants, Andrew and Cheri Young, have not produced any documents in this case for any third party,â&#x20AC;? wrote Robert M. Elliot, a Winston-Salem attorney representing the couple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neither defendants nor their counsel have willfully violated any protective orders of this Court.â&#x20AC;? Hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyers contend any subpoena of material from the civil case would have to be disclosed to them. Elliot could not be reached for comment Monday. Hunter sued the Youngs last year over possession of items purported to include a video tape showing a sexual encounter between her and Edwards. Hunter lived and traveled with the couple to hide her pregnancy as Edwards ran for president in 2008.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Investigators said Monday that they have found what they believe are some of the remains of a dismembered North Carolina woman in a Texas creek, and that the father of her two young sons and his wife are charged in her killing. Investigators found mostly parts of a torso believed to be that of Laura Ackerson, 27, of Kinston, floating in Oyster Creek southwest of Houston, said Chief Deputy Craig Brady of the Fort Bend County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department. They also found an ice chest, which is believed to have been used to transport the remains more than 1,000 miles across several states, and a machete that may have been used to dismember her, Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a positive ID due to the condition of the body and the pieces weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recovered,â&#x20AC;? Brady said at a news conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the hands, feet or head. Mostly the torso, which was cut in several pieces.â&#x20AC;? Charged with murder are 32-year-old Grant Ruffin Hayes and his wife, 39-yearold Amanda Perry Hayes. Grant Hayes, a musician who used the stage name Grant Haze, fathered Ackermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two sons, 3-year-old Grant Haze and 1-year-old Gentle Haze. He had been scheduled to appear in family court next month because he and Ackerson had been involved in a custody dispute since March 2010. Ackerman was last seen on July 13 after dropping off the boys at Hayesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home in Raleigh. She was reported missing on July 18 after failing to pick up the boys. Her car was found July 20 at an apartment complex in the city. The arrest warrant for the Hayeses said Ackerson died in Wake County on the day she dropped off the boys. Police divers continued searching the bottom of the creek for other body parts, including the head, Brady said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They will look until they are satisfied they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find her there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know for a fact they are even in there.â&#x20AC;? Grant and Amanda Hayes were booked Monday into the Wake County Jail.

The proper care and operation of a dishwasher If your dishwasher is not turning out beautifully clean dishes, glassware, utensils, and pots and pans, it may not be because it's old and worn out. Before you haul it off to the landfill, take a look at way the you’re operating it. Just a few tweaks could get that thing working like it’s brand MARY new. HUNT Proper loading. You may not think that the way you place things in the dishwasher could make much of a difference in the

outcome, but you’d be wrong. Don’t overload. Leave space between items. Place items so that they slant downward, allowing the surfaces to come in direct contact with the spraying water that shoots up from the bottom. Place plastic items in the top rack. Check your owner’s manual for specific loading instructions for your specific machine. Can’t find your owner's manual? Search online for your manual, which is likely available at the manufacturer's website. Water temperature. Water should enter the dishwasher at 140 F. If it is hotter, you run the risk of permanently etching the glasses and flatware;

cooler will produce disappointing results. If your dishwasher does not have its own dedicated water heater, fill a container with the hottest water from your tap. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer, and then adjust your water heater accordingly. Dishwashing detergent. It’s difficult to beat the Cascade lineup of products, but Costco’s and Walmart’s store brands come pretty darn close. Test store brands, and if you are not satisfied, return the product for a refund. Don’t rinse. Scrape off the chunks of food, but never prerinse items for the dishwasher. Automatic dishwasher de-

tergent is highly alkaline and needs the acidity of the food to reach optimum cleaning action. Besides, rinsing wastes time, energy and water. Detergent substitute. I’ve done a lot of experimenting but have not found a reasonable long-term substitute for dishwasher detergent. In a pinch I’ve used a 50/50 mix of borax and baking soda with acceptable results. On a regular basis, however, it does not produce good results. Hard water. Go to your water company’s website and click on “water quality” or make a phone call.

WEBB

In October 1996, a federal grand jury indicted Webb on eight felony counts and 12 misdemeanor counts related to gun law violations. Webb maintained at the time, and still does now, that he made mistakes in his record keeping and may have lost some paperwork. He says they were not malicious errors but careless ones. “I’m not perfect; nobody is,” Webb said last Wednesday. “I couldn’t sit here and swear to you and say, ‘Yes, I had the forms.’ I can’t say for sure.” Investigators said Webb knowingly sold guns to people who did not have a permit and that he willingly broke laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. During the trial, federal agents testified that Webb had sold guns out of the back of

his pickup at restaurants. They also testified that many of the guns Webb sold later were linked to crimes. Webb said Monday that he did sell some guns casually to friends — “They would say, ‘can you order this for me?’ and I’d say ‘sure’ ” — but he did not sell them to people if he knew they did not have a permit. Midway through his trial in March 1997, Webb pleaded guilty to five felonies and five misdemeanors, all violations of federal gun laws. He was sentenced to serve 34 months at a minimum-security federal prison, followed by a twoyear supervised release program. His official release date was in October of 1999, but by August he was out of prison and on house arrest. Webb said his “adventure,”

as he calls his time away, made him think about what’s really important in life. After he got out of prison, he called his ex-wife Naomi to apologize for his part in their divorce. The two remarried in May 2000 after spending 22 years

County Planning Director Ed Muire said there are several different challenges the town could’ve submitted, but in this case it’s a boundary dispute. “It means the corporate limits at the time the census was taken were different than what the census assumed they were,” Muire said. The town will verify its correct count using information it submitted to the N.C. Secretary of State and annexation done during the last decade. In 2009 the population estimate was around 3,900 to 4,000 people and the 2010 census puts that count around 3,200, Muire said. Prior to the census, each municipality had to submit a boundary/annexation survey, which was sent in April. The survey is to show the census bureau the changes to the town’s city limits. “For some reason it never happened,” said Adrian Rollans, the county’s GIS coordinator. Rollans is actually submitting the dispute to the census bureau. The town annexed numerous subdivisions along N.C. 152 and Patterson street. There were also residents who live off Bostian Road who were not attributed to the China Grove count, but were instead listed a Rowan County residents, Rollans explained. The zoning department has to provide documents that will show the current residents in those uncounted areas. “We have to count populations at homes and count each of those areas that we claim in order to show the residences were occupied at the time of the 2010 census,” Rollans said. That process includes getting a letter from the mayor and looking at the 2000 census. “If we do that and they agree to it — they will adjust those figures,” he said. The process is expected to take a couple of months, but “we may not know for a year,” Rollans said.

Webb said he has since served nearly two terms on Cooleemee’s planning board, where he helped develop a strategic plan for the town. “I’m interested in seeing Cooleemee progress and improve,” Webb said. “I want to make sure things in government are for the benefit of the citizens.” Cooleemee is a great place to live, he said, and it’s full of good people. But he added that some people still think the town doesn’t have much going for it. “In the past, over the years, Cooleemee has had a black eye,” Webb said. “But it’s come past all that... and many individuals are working to try to make it a better place to live.” Webb was elected as a Rowan County Commissioner in 1990 and re-elected in 1994.

“grains per gallon” or gpg. Too much detergent. More than likely, you’re dumping money down the drain by using way too much detergent. You need only 1 to 4 tablespoons depending on the hardness of your water: 0 to 3 grains hardness, 1 tablespoon; 4 to 6 grains, 2 tablespoons; 7 to 9 grains, 3 tablespoons and 10 to 12 grains, 4 tablespoons. If your water, like mine, is over 12 grains hard (I deal with 14 gpg), you need to fill both dispenser cups completely. Caution: More is not better.

very kid loves a playground. Back in the days of elementary school, the time I looked forward to the most was recess. I have vivid memories of those painfully long, single-file walks with my classmates to the school’s playground, which was located across a rather busy street. All that single-file order would break down into a chaotic screaming mob as soon as we hit the chain-link gate. The playground was huge (about a quarter of a city block) that was half dirt and half grass with standard swings, slides, a few trees, basketball hoops and monkey bars. The playground was where we developed our social skills and figured out our athletic inabilities. Even with all of the fun JON C. and frolic that was had at the LAKEY playground across the street, we were all keenly aware there were other playgrounds filled with potential fun located somewhere else. It is kind of like the fun is always more fun on the other side. For a photographer, any kind of change is always exciting. Whether it is in the mountains, Piedmont or coastal areas of North Carolina, getting a chance to play in somebody else’s playground is as exciting as crossing the threshold of the old school yard (minus the running and screaming, of course). As most of the Salisbury Post readership knows, the Rowan County American Legion baseball team has been playing in the state tournament in Morehead City. This puts me into somebody else’s playground for an extended period of time. My camera has replaced the kickball, the spiral slide and the stuffing of dead leaves into the chain-link fence. Morehead City, like many coastal towns, offers a lot to see and photograph. A walk on the beach looking for sea shells, a self-guided tour of a Civil War-era fort and an amble along the boat docks at night can produce many interesting photographs. A few of my favorite photographs included a silhouette of a father and sons fishing on a rock jetty near Fort Macon State Park. Another one was looking through a broken conch shell with a turbulent ocean swirling as a backdrop. The arched doorways of Fort Macon speak to another era. But the best thing about new playgrounds is discovering things that you had not expected. Enter the large statue of King Neptune sitting near a dive shop along the water front in downtown Morehead City. That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. But after five days of playing around in someone else’s playground, I find myself thinking more fondly of my own home playground of Rowan County. The thoughts of watching sailboats on High Rock Lake, seeing the skyline of Salisbury from Dunn’s Mountain or a drive past the hundreds of old barns that dot the landscape of Rowan reaffirms that there is lots to see across the street. It’s about time to form up a line.

One of the big attractions to coastal towns is the chance to go deep-sea fishing. Some trips like the one offered on the fishing vessel ‘Continental Shelf’ offers fishing many miles offshore in the Gulf Stream.

NC House overrides 3 Perdue vetoes to make laws

CHAPEL HILL (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sen. Kay Hagan says the country must reduce spending without neglecting seniors or working families. The North Carolina Democrat hosted a panel discussion Monday in Chapel Hill with talk-show host Charlie Rose moderating the event focusing on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal future. Panel participants included former South Carolina congressman John Spratt and John Weinberg, director of research for the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Spratt says the financial problems are difficult and daunting, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not insurmountable. He says the country would face a fiscal reality sooner or later, even without the debt ceiling issue. Without signed federal legislation by dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end on Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering an unprecedented default.

The Senate gave its final approval Monday night to a map for the chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 seats, wrapping up hours of debate that included passage of boundaries for 13 congressional seats. The House also approved a plan Monday for its 120 seats. The Republican-penned plans won the day as several Democratic alternatives were defeated. The GOP is flexing political muscles to preserve its new majority in the Legislature and target Democratic incumbents in Congress. Democrats said the Republican maps segregated black voters. Republicans defended their maps as fair and legal. The votes set the stage for final passage of the maps by Thursday.

Beverly Perdue. The state House voted 7442 Monday to limit what a blameless victim of a doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s negligence can collect for noneconomic damages. Doctors would still have to pay medical bills, lost wages and other kinds of monetary losses resulting from their negligence, but other payouts for catastrophic injury or death would be capped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most severely injured patients are not protected by this bill. It discriminates against them, children, stayat-home mothers and the elderly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people who in the tough, tough parlance of the courtroom have no economic value,â&#x20AC;? said House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a shame and I think we should stop.â&#x20AC;?

Reshaping the political landscape Redistricting is about numbers ... and a whole lot more First of a two-part series often start my classes with the question, “what is politics?” And after hearing some ideas from students, I describe my view: that of politics being a game — a game about power. As one political scientist has described it, redistricting is the most political activity in the United States, and helps define who will possess political power. With the North Carolina General Assembly voting this week on new redistricting maps that will redraw the lines, it’s important to MICHAEL understand how this part of BITZER the game is played — because it will determine many of the winners and losers in the next decade. Every 10 years, the United States conducts a population count, through the census. Using that information, we see where population shifts have occurred (typically in urban and suburban areas, with rural areas seeing lower growth rates or even losses). As of last year, North Carolina had a census population of a little over 9.5 million people. Redistricting places those 9.5 million into areas for representation in the 170member North Carolina legislature and the 13 members of the state’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives. Before the district lines for the legislators can be drawn, though, we must deal with a number of conditions.

CHEATING SCANDAL IN ATLANTA

A testing catastrophe ith the Rowan-Salisbury and Kannapolis school systems digesting the Adequate Yearly Progress results released late last week, this is an opportune time to talk about standardized testing disasters. Not here — in Atlanta. A brief consideration of the crisis in that large urban system can serve two purposes. It stands as a cautionary tale about the perverse consequences that result when obsession with high-stakes testing clouds the judgment of top-level administrators as well as teachers. (Not to mention politicians.) It also offers perspective on this year’s AYP results, when only five RSS schools and none in Kannapolis met the tougher standards that took effect. There are worse outcomes than struggling to meet ever-rising federal performance hurdles. For those who’ve missed the story, a recap: Following an investigative series in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia officials launched a 10-month probe into allegations of widespread cheating on standardized testing in the 50,000-student Atlanta system, where former Supt. Beverly Hall had received national recognition for driving up scores. Those scores, the state found, were heavily tainted by manipulation and dishonesty. Instead of “teaching to the test,” teachers and administrators were teaching children to cheat, or in some cases changing answers themselves. The state’s report said the abuses dated to 2001, affecting half the district’s 100 schools. Top administrators ignored “significant and clear” warnings of widespread cheating, the report said; it concluded that an environment of fear and intimidation ruled the system, symbolized in Hall’s “no excuses, no exceptions” mantra. The report implicated 178 educators, many of whom have resigned. Most telling, it summarized the atmosphere this way: “Most teachers, and many principals, described an oppressive environment … where the entire focus of the district had become achieving test scores rather than teaching children.” Testing scandals have emerged in other school systems, including Washington, D.C., but the Atlanta episode is the largest, and it has renewed debate over the “all or nothing” nature of NCLB standards. There’s no excusing the shocking behavior described in the report, which damaged untold numbers of students who were passed along from grade to grade, woefully ill-prepared for the world outside school walls. Yet, unless you believe the Atlanta system attracted unusually dishonest educators, the testing culture bears some culpability. The scandal should make all of us, educators and community alike, consider how high we want testing stakes to be — and how the results should be used to evaluate systems, schools and individual teachers. Atlanta’s scandal can be dismissed as a horrible aberration. But the report’s description of a high-pressure atmosphere and single-minded focus on “achieving test scores” could equally apply to many other schools where honest efforts fall short of “all or nothing” expectations.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be) Hope is a waking dream. — Aristotle

Redistricting starts with the fundamental principle of “one person, one vote.” Based on the U.S. Supreme Court rulings, states must draw their districts so that they are approximately equal in population. So, the ideal populations for the state’s congressional districts would be 733,499, while the state House districts would have 79,462 and state Senate districts would have 190,710 residents. When redrawing districts, North Carolina must adhere to both federal and state court rulings requiring congressional districts to have no deviation in population, while state legislative districts can deviate — meaning that state House and Senate districts can vary within 5 percent of the ideal populations. Next comes the most important question: So who gets to draw these districts? Well, welcome to the world of politics. The first thing to know is that elections have consequences — and the elections having the greatest consequences are those that end in a zero — a census year. In a majority of the states, the legislators who represent these districts often get to draw their new district lines, with the help of staff who use computer programs, specifically geographic information systems, to slice and dice the state into districts. In North Carolina, it is the members of the General Assembly, specifically the Republican majority, who get to draw the lines — the governor has no say and no veto power over the proposed maps. But before the lines start to take shape, another

set of conditions must be met: the requirements of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Based on the legacy of Jim Crow laws and the use of segregation, the 1965 law protects the political rights of minorities. What this means is that whenever a state changes a voting condition, it must not have a discriminatory effect on minorities. A key component of the 1965 law is Section 2, which the courts have interpreted as identifying when discrimination occurs through a three-part test: when there exists a minority group sufficiently large and geographically compact to be a majority in a district with a single official, that the minority group is “politically cohesive,” and whose preferred candidate is usually defeated by white majority voting together. The first part of the test was later refined to mean 50 percent or more of the voting age population. Another section of the 1965 law requires that states with a history of restricting the right to vote or register must have changes “precleared” or approved by the federal government, either by the Department of Justice or a district court in D.C. Forty N.C. counties are covered by Section 5, meaning that whenever changes are made to these counties, the federal government must sign off on the changes. All of this means that the issue of race is still a critical component in American politics, and especially here in North Carolina. While consideration of minorities must be taken into account — thus leading to the 1990s creation of the 12th Congressional District that Rowan County is part of — the U.S. Supreme Court has held that when race impermissibly dominates the redistricting process (by ignoring compactness or disregarding communities of interest), the districts could be open to lawsuits challenging them. Needless to say, abiding by “considering minorities” while not “imper-

LETTERS Win or lose, student athletes deserve support for efforts I have noticed that teams which consistently win have large attendances, while teams which consistently lose do not. As adults, do we value only winning? Is this what we choose to teach these students? Most young adults probably don’t require praise for “winning” as much as support when they are disappointed. They might not be great athletes, but they are most definitely students. We are given an opportunity by attending these games to value their efforts — and don’t think for a minute that the lesson will be lost on them. For those of you who have never attended a school game, give it a try. The price is right and if sports is not your “thing,” why not go to a band competition in your area? — Jack Ernst Spencer

A fond farewell to Paul Oakley — musician extraordinaire We were surprised to hear that our beloved Paul Oakley is leaving First Presbyterian Church of Salisbury. He will be missed. I think Paul is an outstanding musician. I have enjoyed his organ playing, but he is a virtuoso on the piano. I also believe his singing was greatly appreciated. His shoes will be difficult to fill. His last apearance will be Sunday, July 31, before he assumed his new position at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, Ky. May the Lord be sure to take good care of this man, a beautiful soul. May God bless you always, Paul, our dear friend, and the entire group of disciples at First Presbyterian Church. — Victor and Nioma Farrah Salisbury

missibly considering” race is a daunting task. Next, based on a state Supreme Court decision, the Legislature must draw districts that reflect the “whole county” provision of the state Constitution; meaning, that when redrawing the lines, districts should contain whole counties and “communities of interest” in creating compact and bordering, or contigious, districts. The final condition of redrawing legislative lines is, for many Americans, probably the most controversial, and that is political affiliation. Because North Carolina requires voters to declare a political party affiliation (Democrat, Republican, Unaffiliated or Libertarian), along with collecting voting results in precincts, the designers of new districts can pursue several different goals: benefit their political party, impair the opposition, protect incumbents, or some combination of them. This can be done in a number of ways: packing members of the opposition into one district, thereby removing them from surrounding districts and strengthening their own party’s chances of election; conversely, cracking the opposition by dividing them into several districts, thus diluting their chance to elect one of their own; and finally gerrymandering, or drawing of such an odd-shaped district with the intent of electing one party over another. With these new “rules of the game” being debated this week, redistricting will have a profound impact on Tar Heel politics for the next decade, and will inevitably reshape the political landscape over the next few election cycles. More on that in a subsequent article. • • • Dr. Michael Bitzer is an associate professor of politics and history at Catawba College, and blogs at ncpolitics.blogspot.com.

Legislators move to beef up General Assembly security ALEIGH — More than 20 years ago, some fellow angry about something or other whacked a window of the North Carolina Legislative Building with a hammer. When you ask oldtimers about violence that’s occurred at the Legislative Building, that’s about the worst that they can come up with. The building has seen some protests that got a bit out of hand. About a decade ago, SCOTT some conservative acMOONEYHAM tivists tossed tea bags from the House gallery as legislators considered a budget that included tax hikes. This year, the liberals took their turn getting arrested and escorted from the building as protests erupted over budget cuts or other proposals from the Republican majority. Once again, the House chamber has been the place to be and be seen. A group of high school and college students unfurled a banner from the House gallery in protest of budget cuts. State NAACP chapter president William Barber and some friends were led away in handcuffs after interrupting House debate with a chant inspired by a Biblical verse, also in protest of budget cuts. And gay rights activists briefly burst onto to House floor before being arrested. It’s understandable that legislators might have been unnerved by a couple of those incidents. In a world filled with politically-inspired violence, it’s also understandable that some North Carolina legislators aren’t satisfied with the building's existing security measures. So a $3 million security upgrade, including metal detectors and more security posts, is on the way. State Sen. Andrew Brock, a Davie County Republican, is among the legis-

lators overseeing the effort. He calls the current level of security “a failure of prior administrations.” The chief architect of Brock’s failure would be former Senate leader Marc Basnight. Basnight was adamant that the Legislative Building should open and accessible to the larger public. After all, the public pays the light bill. It pays for salaries of most of those in the BROCK building. The happenings there are supposed to be for its benefit. Basnight stood in the way of more restrictive security measures even though he might have been their biggest beneficiary. He never revealed publicly that he received a death threat from a man who at one point entered the building and was considered dangerous. Perhaps Basnight’s stance was foolhardy. Maybe the time has come for the Legislative Building to be at least as secure as other government buildings. But if in doing so legislators shield themselves from more public interaction, what they’ve really done is make themselves and state government less accountable to the governed. The most troubling part of the security upgrade is a plan to add 16 new General Assembly police officers. Their hiring would follow a 40 percent reduction in the State Capitol Police, which answers to the executive branch, and legislation expanding the powers of the General Assembly police. Creating a larger, more powerful police force that answers directly to elected leaders in the most political branch of state government is a recipe for trouble. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Norway rampage culprit calmly tells Obama: Halt ‘3-ring-circus,’ court 2 other terror cells remain avert unprecedented US default

MANCHESTER, Iowa (AP) — Call it the Minnesota feud — Iowa style. Former Minnesota Gov.

Stresses return as public doubts economic recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — Just last fall, Americans were feeling better about their personal finances. Now they’re starting to worry more about how they’ll pay off debts as they feel the nation’s economic recovery wobbling. With Congress deadlocked over how to deal with the national debt, household debt is causing stress for nearly half the country, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. One in five adults worries about debt most or all of the time. If they bought something on a credit card in the past month, more than a third

say they won’t pay it off when the bill comes. The increased stress represents a reversal from last fall’s AP-GfK poll, which found increasing confidence about personal finances. Debtrelated stress is up 17 percent from that November survey, bumping such worries back up to levels seen in 2009 and in the spring of last year. “It’s not that our debt is huge. It’s just hard to make it, month to month,” said Theresa Telford, 45, a teacher’s aide raising four kids with her husband, a sheriff’s deputy. “It seems like everything is going up, but wages aren’t going up.”

DJ says gunman was methodical as he shot wife, family DALLAS (AP) — Guests had just finished singing “Happy Birthday” to an 11year-old boy when his father spoke to him briefly, then pulled out a gun and shot the child’s mother, four of her relatives and himself, said a disc jockey who witnessed the shooting spree at a Texas roller rink. Tan Do, 35, was “smooth, cool” as he shot his victims at close range, DJ Allen Tillotson told the Associated Press on Monday. He “knew exactly the people he wanted” to shoot and paused only to reload a weapon that had been hidden in his pants, Tillotson said. “After he went for the wife, he went for the next lady, then a man, then a young lady,” he said. Do killed his estranged wife Trini Do, 29; two of her sisters, Lynn Ta, 16, and Michelle Ta, 28; her brother, Hien Ta, 21; and her sister-inlaw, Thuy Nguyen, 25. Four others were wounded. At the end of the Saturday night rampage, Tran Do shot himself. Tillotson said he was on his way to get a garbage can to clean up the DJ booth when the shooting began.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In unprecedented back-to-back appearances on nationwide television, President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner clashed Monday night over the cause and cure for the nation’s debt crisis. The two men spoke as Congress remained gridlocked on legislation to avert a threatened default after Aug. 2. Decrying a “partisan three-ring circus” in the nation’s capital, Obama assailed a newly minted Republican plan to raise the nation’s debt limit as an invitation to another crisis in six months’ time. He said congressional leaders must produce a compromise that can reach his desk before the deadline. “The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn’t vote for a dysfunctional government,” the president said in a hastily arranged primetime speech. He appealed to the public to contact lawmakers and demand “a balanced approach” to reducing federal deficits — including tax increases for the wealthy as well as spending cuts. Responding moments later from a room near the House chamber, Boehner said the “‘crisis atmosphere” was of the president’s making. “The sad truth is that the president wanted a blank check six months ago, and he wants a blank check today. That is just not going to happen,” the speaker said. “The president has often said we need a ‘balanced’ approach, which in Washington means

we spend more, you pay more.” Obama stepped to the microphones in the East Room of the White House a few hours after Republican lawmakers, then his own Democrats, drafted rival emergency legislation to head off a potentially devastating default. The back-to-back speeches did little to suggest that a compromise was in the offing, and the next steps appeared to be votes in the House and Senate on the rival plans by mid-week. Despite warnings to the contrary, U.S. financial markets have appeared to take the political maneuvering in stride — so far. Wall Street posted losses Monday but with no indication of panic among investors. Without signed legislation by day’s end on Aug. 2, the Treasury will be unable to pay all its bills, possibly triggering an unprecedented default that officials warn could badly harm a national economy still struggling to recover from the worst recession in decades. Obama wants legislation that will raise the nation’s debt limit by at least $2.4 trillion in one vote, enough to avoid a recurrence of the acrimonious current struggle until after the 2012 elections. Republicans want a twostep process that would require a second vote in the midst of the 2012 campaign with control of the White House and both houses of Congress at stake. Monday night’s speeches were a remarkable turn in a six-month-old era of divided

government as first the president, then his principal Republican opponents appealed to the nation in a politically defining struggle. Obama quoted Ronald Reagan — a hero to many conservatives — who also spoke of a balanced plan and stressed a need for compromise. Obama stopped well short of threatening a veto of the GOP-drafted legislation that he criticized. Boehner’s remarks seemed aimed at the general public and also at conservatives — tea party advocates included — who installed the Republicans in power in the House last fall. There were concessions from both sides embedded in Monday’s competing legislation, but they were largely obscured by the partisan rhetoric of the day. With their revised plan, House Republicans backed off an earlier insistence on $6 trillion in spending cuts to raise the debt limit. And while the president didn’t say so, his embrace of legislation unveiled by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid effectively jettisoned his longstanding call for increased government revenues as part of any deficit reduction plan. The measure Boehner and the GOP leadership drafted in the House called for spending cuts and an increase in the debt limit to tide the Treasury over until sometime next year. A second increase in borrowing authority would hinge on approval of additional spending cuts sometime during the election year.

GOP pres. rivalry spills onto campaign trail in Iowa

Tim Pawlenty is using a campaign appearance in Iowa to accuse his home state Republican presidential rival — Michele Bachmann — of having a of record mixing up her facts. Bachmann is in Iowa, too, PAWLENTY but is staying away from what’s become an escalating war of words. Pawlenty is responding to weekend criticism from Bachmann’s campaign that the former governor supported policies President Barack Obama also backed.

R131208

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The self-described perpetrator of Norway’s deadly bombing and shooting rampage was ordered held in isolation at a hearing Monday after calmly telling the court that two other groups of allies stand ready to join his murderous campaign. Anders Behring Breivik has admitted bombing Norway’s capital and opening fire on a political youth group retreat on an island near the capital. He told authorities that he expects to spend the rest of his life in prison. Saying he wanted to save Europe from Muslim immigration, he entered a plea of not guilty that will guarantee him future court hearings and opportunities to address the public, even indirectly. Police believe Breivik acted alone, despite his grand claims in a 1,500-page manifesto that he belonged to a modern group of crusaders. But they have not completely ruled out that he had accomplices. Judge Kim Heger ordered Breivik held for eight weeks, including four in isolation, noting his reference to “two more cells within our organization.” Norway has been stunned by the attacks and riveted by Breivik’s strange writings. Hundreds of reporters and locals thronged the courthouse ahead of his first court appearance Monday, hoping to get their first glimpse of the man blamed for the deaths of 76 people — lowered Monday from 93. At one point, a car drove through the crowd and onlookers beat at it with their fists, although it turned out Breivik may not have been inside.

MOREHEAD CITY — A sound effort would be Rowan 4 needed from Cherryville 6 Rowan to stave off elimination against a team as solid as Cherryville Monday night. The consistency came in spurts for Rowan, which gained the lead twice during the bout between two American Legion heavyweights. But Adam Benefield was complete. The Cherryville starting pitcher won his 10th game of the year in the 6-4 Cherryville victory, going all nine innings and getting stronger as

the game progressed. Benefield, a rising sophomore at Western Carolina who was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome in the spring, was nearly paralyzed by the disorder. Nobody who saw Monday’s performance would question the righthander’s strength. “The beginning of Legion season I was still a little weak and didn’t have my stamina,” Benefield said. “It’s good to see it coming back in time for the tournament here.” Rowan was eliminated from the state tournament and had its season end after gaining a 3-0 lead after four innings. Benefield retired 12 of the final 13 batters he faced, leaving no room

Davis: ‘I did not’ think of quitting as UNC coach PINEHURST (AP) — North Carolina coach Butch Davis said Monday he has never thought of quitting amid an NCAA investigation into his program, adding that he takes responsibility “fully and completely” for the events that created a year of turmoil in Chapel Hill. Speaking at the Atlantic Coast Conference’s preseason media day, Davis said it has been “reassuring” to have the support of athletics director Dick Baddour and Chancellor Holden Thorp as the NCAA investigated improper benefits and academic misconduct within the program. It was his first extensive comments since the NCAA outlined numerous potentially major violations in its notice of allegations sent to the school last month. Davis was not linked personally to any allegations, though he said the burden still falls on him as head coach.

“Anything we can do to make sure this doesn’t happen again, that’s part of my responsibility,” Davis said. “I regret greatly that these things have transpired and these things have happened. I don’t take them lightly. This is a very, very serious issue. It’s caused a tremendous amount aSSoCiaTed PReSS of embarrassment and a tremendous amount of hard North Carolina football coach Butch davis spoke with retimes for Carolina alums and porters about his team’s troubled year. fans.

for a rally after his team gained the lead. A leadoff walk to Ashton Fleming in the ninth was the lone imperfection on what was an otherwise flawless final four innings. “Late in the game, he pitched us inside with two strikes,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “He relieved himself, so to speak. Earlier in the game, he went the other way. He knew what he was doing.” Cherryville, the Area IV champion the last five years and shooting for its first state title since 2007, got two unearned runs in the seventh that spelled doom for Rowan and would ultimately be the difference. Rowan made two errors and al-

Crisis averted: Players agree to end NFL lockout WASHINGTON (AP) — After months of public nastiness and private negotiations, of court filings and rulings, of players and owners squabbling over more than $9 billion a year, NFL fans finally saw the handshake and heard the words they awaited: “Football’s back.” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith both used that phrase while standing shoulder-toshoulder Monday, announcing their agreement on a 10-year deal to end the lockout that began in March. Then came what may truly be the lasting image of the dispute’s resolution: Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman

McKinney hired by Elon From staff reports Cristy Earnhardt McKinney was named as Elon’s top assistant coach on Monday. McKinney was head coach at Rice, directing 216 victories in 12 seasons, and won 58 games in five seasons as head coach at Clemson. The first female inductee into the Salisbury-Rowan Hall of Fame in 2001, McKinney starred at East Rowan from 1972-75, averaging 14.4 points as a sophomore, 16.7 as a junior when the Mustangs won the WNCHSAA title, and 20.2 as a senior. She had four 30-point games — highly unusual in that era — and finished her prep career with 1,151 points and 1,012 rebounds. McKinney is still second on East’s all-time list for scoring average per game and ranks fifth alltime in points scored. McKinney nearly signed with Elon out of high school because the coach there was Kay Yow. McKinney instead signed with N.C. State after the Wolfpack hired Yow. McKinney graduated from N.C. State in 1979 with a math degree after scoring 1,359 points and grabbing 600 rebounds. She played on the Wolfpack’s first ACC regularseason championship team.

 Major leagues New York Mets reliever Bobby Parnell (East Rowan) bounced back from a tough Sunday outing to help the Mets beat the Reds 4-2 on Monday. Parnell again pitched the eighth and worked a scoreless frame to protect a two-run lead against some tough hitters. He struck out Brandon Phillips, walked Fred Lewis, got pinch-hitter Joey Votto on a flyball and got a groundball off the bat of rookie Todd Frazier. Veteran Jason Isringhausen came in for the ninth and picked up the save.

 Minor leagues The Kannapolis Intimidators were rained out on Monday at Rome, Ga. n It’s been a tough season for Wade Moore (West Rowan, Catawba), but it’s getting better. Hagerstown’s Moore had two more hits, including his 11th double, on Tuesday in a 6-4 South Atlantic League loss to Greenville. Now batting .197, Moore is at close to .200 as he’s been in a long time. He’s batted .323 in his last 10 games.  Winston-Salem put Daniel Wagner (South Rowan) in the leadoff spot on Monday and he had a nice game in a 5-3 win against Kinston. Wagner had one hit, two walks and scored a run. His batting average in the Carolina League is a modest .236, but he’s hit .286 in his last 10 outings.  Hudson Valley’s Craige Lyerly (East Rowan, Catawba) is starting to surge in the New York-Penn League after a slow start. Lyerly stole two bases on Monday and went 1-for-3 in a 2-0 victory against Mahoning Valley. Lyerly was under .200 coming into the week but is now at .233.  Spencer Steedley (East) had a strong relief outing for Double A New Britain on Monday in a 6-5, 13inning win against New Hampshire. The Minnesota farmhand zipped through the fifth and sixth innings with no runs, no hits, one walk and three strikeouts.  Ryan Query (A.L. Brown, Catawba) has been assigned by the Braves to the Rome team in the Class A South Atlantic League. Even the CIA would have a hard time keeping track of Query this season. This is his fourth stop in the Braves’ system. He’s also played at short-season Danville, advanced A Lynchburg and Double A Mississippi. Query has done well when he’s gotten chances to play this season — batting .364 in 17 games, 11 at Danville, five at Mississippi and one in Lynchburg.

Jon C. Lakey/SAliSBuRy PoSt

Nate Fulbright runs to third base. Cherryville, Area iV champion the last five years, is shooting for its first state title since 2007.

LEGION FRoM 1B lowed the go-ahead run to score on a wild pitch that snapped a 4-4 deadlock. Drewery got a first-pitch double to start the inning, and Mosteller reached on an E6 that put runners at the corners with nobody out. Drewery crossed the plate on a misfire from Rowan starter Bradley Robbins, while Spencer Martin scored on a mishandle by Ashton Fleming at second. “We certainly had a couple plays go that we can make and that was the difference in the game,” Gantt said. “When you make a mistake, they’re going to jump on you and that’s what they did.” Robbins, who threw 11⁄3 innings of relief in Sunday’s victory against Morehead City, was exceptional in keeping Cherryville off the board for

the initial four innings before hitting trouble. “I was definitely surprised when they named me the starter today,” Robbins admitted. Robbins, a rising senior at East Rowan, walked Dylan Hastings and Spencer Wilson to begin the fifth before an excuse-me infield single by Trey Drewery brought home a run. One batter later, Blake Mosteller whacked a double to center that barely eluded the grasp of center fielder Will Sapp to tie the score at 3. “It was that far away from being a great ESPN play,” said Cherryville coach Bobby Reynolds, who earned his

612th win. “Instead we tied it up and got the luck there.” Rowan regained the lead briefly in the bottom of the fourth, capitalizing on Hastings’ two straight wild throws to first base from third that scored Andy Austin. Taylor Garczynski drove home a pair in the second on a liner to center with the bases loaded. Austin had a leadoff double to right that keyed the third, and he would be brought home on a Matt Mauldin sacrifice fly to right. Austin’s double was the final Rowan hit of the night as Benefield retired 13 of the last 14 batters. Fleming walked to

start the ninth in hope of a rally, but Avery Rogers and Garczynski were put down on strikes and Sapp popped up to shortstop to end the game. “Once I settled down and it got a little cooler, I got stronger,” Benefield said. “We started hitting the ball and it gave me motivation. My adrenaline just started pumping.” Rowan ended the year with a 25-10 mark as the Area III runner-up and outlasted the Area champion High Point. “They got as much out of their abilities as they were capable of,” Gantt said. “When guys do that, it’s something you can be proud of.”

end result is we’ve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade.” Owners can point to victories, such as gaining a higher percentage of all revenue, one of the central issues — they get 53 percent, players 47 percent; the old deal was closer to 50-50. There’s also a new system that will rein in spending on contracts for firstround draft picks. Players, meanwhile, persuaded teams to commit to spending nearly all of their salary cap space in cash and won changes to offseason and in-season practice rules that should make the game safer.

Key compromise One important compromise came on expanding the regular season from 16 to 18 games, which owners favored. That can be revisited for the 2013 season, but players must approve any change. “Both parties were trying to stand their ground — and rightfully so,” said Vikings linebacker Ben Leber, one of the 10 named plaintiffs in the players’ antitrust suit against the league that will now be dropped. “In the end, against all the negativity that was out there publicly, they took their time and hammered out what I think is going to turn out to be one of the best deals in the history of sports.” An interesting choice of phrase, given that Smith and some players grew fond of calling the owners’ last offer before talks fell apart in March “probably the worst deal in sports history.” Here was Smith’s take Monday: “We didn’t get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced.” Now comes frenzied football activity, starting immediately. Club facilities will open to players Tuesday, when 2011 draft picks and rookie free agents can be signed, and teams can begin talking to veteran free agents. Training camps for some teams may begin as soon as Wednesday. “Chaos,” said Jets fullback Tony Richardson, a member of the NFLPA’s executive

committee. “That’s the best word for it.” Only one exhibition game was lost: the Hall of Fame opener between the Bears and Rams, scheduled for Aug. 7 in Canton, Ohio. Otherwise, the entire preseason and regular-season schedules remain intact. “Our players can’t be more excited about going back to doing the thing they love the most,” NFLPA president Kevin Mawae said. “We always said during this process we would do a deal when it’s right and when it’s the right deal. Our players did that. We stuck it out to the end.” When Saturday spoke to reporters, he offered an eloquent tribute to Kraft, lauding him as “a man who helped us save football,” and to Kraft’s wife, Myra, who died Wednesday from cancer. “A special thanks to Myra Kraft, who even in her weakest moment allowed Mr. Kraft to come and fight this out,” Saturday said. “Without him, this deal does not get done.” Kraft, meanwhile, took a verbal jab at the nearby White House and Congress, saying: “I hope we gave a little lesson to the people in Washington, because the debt crisis is a lot easier to fix than this deal was.”

onship game two years ago. But they struggled last season to a 6-7 record with one of the league’s weakest scoring offenses. “They’ve had a little bit of a glance at the penthouse and they’ve had a good smell of the outhouse in two years,” Swinney said. “They’ve seen both extremes. I don’t think there’s any question which one they like better. People are a little nicer to you, they talk better to you, girls like you more, people back home are a little kinder to you, the people at church smile at you more — there’s a lot of things that come with winning.”

Mum’s the word: Paul Johnson isn’t saying whether he wants his bosses at Georgia Tech to appeal the NCAA’s decision to penalize the program for rules violations. Georgia Tech was placed on four years of probation, fined $100,000 and stripped of its final three games in 2009 — including its ACC title game win over Clemson and its Orange Bowl appearance — for using an ineligible player. Johnson declined to say whether it is a fair punishment. “They don’t ask me. It is what it is, and you just move forward and you go on.”

ACC

Florida, used a late threegame winning streak to claim a spot in the ACC title game and closed out a 10-4 season by beating South Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. “Having 10 wins is pretty good,” quarterback E.J. Manuel said. “Having one or two or three plays that caused us to have (only) 10 wins — we could have had 13.” Florida State was the overwhelming pick to win the Atlantic Division with 65 firstplace votes. Four went to Clemson and two went to Boston College. The Hokies were voted first in the Coastal on 66 ballots, with Miami receiving four first-place votes and Georgia Tech receiving one. Virginia Tech beat Florida State 44-33 last year to claim its third ACC title since 2007 and fourth since joining the conference in 2004. The Hokies and Seminoles have been the preseason picks to win their divisions in five of the seven years since the ACC split into divisions in 2005. BC running back Montel Harris is the preseason player of the year with 26 votes, with Manuel receiving 14 and Boston College teammate Luke Kuechly receiving 12. Harris enters his final season with 3,600 yards rushing — the most by any ACC player after his junior year — and is 1,002 yards shy of Ted Brown’s 33-year-old ACC career record. “He has just a tremendous attitude out there. It’s contagious,” BC coach Frank Spaziani said. “He’s always running as hard as he can. He’s always smiling, and you can’t help but notice that out there. That’s a good thing for a coach to see, somebody with that motor running like that, and certainly you watch his production, and it was very

obvious he should be playing more and more and more.” The bottoms of the divisions have a familiar look, too. Duke, picked to finish last in the Coastal, has been a preseason pick to finish last either in its division or overall every year from 2000-09. Wake Forest received the fewest votes (80) of any team. The Demon Deacons were chosen last in the Atlantic for

the first time since 2006 — the year they won the league — but only once have they been picked higher than fourth in the division. “I don’t have a problem with” being chosen last, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe said. “This is probably where we should start the season, but I’m certainly hopeful that that’s not where we end up.”

FroM 1B the conference. That hasn’t changed since Bowden retired, and the school dropped the “coach-in-waiting” tag from Fisher’s title and gave him control of the program. “We embrace it. That’s why I want to be the coach at Florida State and that’s why players come to Florida State ... to win championships,” Fisher said Monday during the ACC’s preseason media day. “We have to understand that expectations don’t win games. “We have to prepare. We have to be very detail-oriented, create great habits because the habits you create become you, and when pressure comes, your habits come straight to the surface,” he added. “So from that standpoint, we’re learning to look forward and build our new history.” In voting results announced Monday, Florida State and Virginia Tech were the preseason picks to meet in the ACC title game, with the Seminoles favored to win their first league title since 2005. “I’d vote for them too,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said. It’s the third straight year Florida State and the Hokies were picked to win their divisions, following a vote of 71 media members in attendance. The Seminoles — who were selected first overall on 50 ballots, with 18 votes going to the Hokies — return 17 starters from last year’s team. That group beat rival

Owners overwhelmingly approved a proposal to end the dispute Thursday, but some unresolved issues needed to be reviewed to satisfy players. The sides worked through the weekend and wrapped up nearly every detail by about 3 a.m. Monday on a final pact that runs through the 2020 season and can’t be terminated before then. That’s significant because the old collective bargaining agreement contained an optout clause, and owners exercised it in 2008. That led to the contract expiring when talks broke down March 11; hours later, owners locked out the players, creating the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987 — and longest in league history. “I know it has been a very long process since the day we stood here that night in March,” Smith said in a brief appearance about 20 minutes before being joined by Goodell and three owners. “But our guys stood together when nobody thought we would. And football is back because of it.”

ment. Davis had a long history with Blake, starting when he coached him in high school and including a stint as assistants to Jimmy Johnson with the Dallas Cowboys. He said he knew Blake had worked briefly with Wichard after he was fired from Oklahoma in 1998, but pointed out Blake made stops as an assistant at Mississippi State and Nebraska before joining Davis in Chapel Hill in 2006. According to the notice of allegations, Blake received more than $31,000 in financial transfers from Wichard from 2007-09, though Blake’s attorneys have described the transactions as loans from one friend to another during financial trouble.

he hasn’t spoken with Blake since his resignation in September and had previously said he was “sorry” he trusted Blake. “There were no apparent red flags put out through that investigation (during Blake’s hiring) and obviously I certainly don’t like where our program is today,” Davis said. “We will be a lot more diligent in future years as we have been with three or four people we’ve added to the program in a variety of roles, whether it’s position coaches or in the strength and conditioning program. “Guys that are going to be in a role where they have an opportunity to mentor and to teach and to interact with our student-athletes, there needs to be a pretty highly significant sense of confidence that we’re putting the right people in those positions.” The school is scheduled to appear before the NCAA infractions committee in October.

NFL.com reported Newton is expected to earn a contract estimated at $36.3 million over five years, which is less than half of what last year’s firstround draft pick Sam Bradford is scheduled to make over the next six seasons with the St. Louis Rams. Bradford inked a deal worth $78 million, including $50 million in guaranteed money. Panthers owner Jerry Richardson, who was instrumental in negotiating a settlement between owners and players, said last week he doesn’t anticipate a problem getting a deal done with Newton. As for Smith, Richardson said it’s unclear what the Panthers will do with their alltime leader in touchdowns. “I have no idea,” Richardson said of Smith’s future. “I love Steve, but I will be honest with you, Steve has not been in the forefront of my mind.” Smith has previously said he wanted to discuss his future with his family, but has not said publicly if he plans to return to Carolina. He has two years left on his current contract at an average of slightly more than $7 million per season.

running back Mustafa Greene won’t return until October because of a foot injury. As for the Tar Heels, coach Butch Davis said tailback Ryan Houston will start preseason camp with no-contact drills as he recovers from surgery for a fractured shoulder blade suffered in the spring game. Houston missed the first five games amid the NCAA’s ongoing investigation of the program before he was cleared to return, but he decided to redshirt.

carolina panthers owner Jerry richardson arrives at the NFL players association headquarters on Monday.

PINEHURST (AP) — North Carolina State and rival North Carolina are sorting through some injuries to key players. For N.C. State, coach Tom O’Brien said cornerback Jarvis Byrd will miss the season after injuring a ligament in his knee. O’Brien said the projected starter hurt his knee on July 20 and will have surgery within the next 10 days, though he wouldn’t specify which knee was hurt. The redshirt sophomore missed the 2010 season after he hurt his other knee in 2009. In addition, O’Brien said

Panthers set for training on Friday CHARLOTTE (AP) — With the NFL lockout officially over, the Carolina Panthers have plenty of work to do before heading to training camp Friday at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C. That includes attempting to re-sign unrestricted free agents like defensive end Charles Johnson and running back DeAngelo Williams, as well as signing No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Newton, the Heisman Trophy winning quarterback from Auburn, and deciding whether to trade wide receiver Steve Smith. “We have spent a lot of time trying to prepare for when this day arrives and now it’s time,” general manager Marty Hurney said Monday after players voted to approve a settlement with the owners. “There are huge challenges in front of us. And we’ve been preparing for them. Now it’s time to get to work.” Hurney didn’t discuss the team’s strategy, but did reiterate the team’s primary goal in free agency is to re-sign its core players. Along with Williams, the team’s all-time leading rusher, and Johnson, who had 11.5 sacks last year, the Panthers must also decide what to do with six other starters from last year’s team who are also unrestricted free agents — quarterback Matt Moore, linebackers Thomas Davis and James Anderson, cornerback Richard Marshall, defensive tackle Derek Landri and tight end Jeff King. The Panthers can sign Newton beginning Tuesday, but have to wait until Friday to add free agents to their roster.

Readers laud Rx for poor grammar and him went” or “was you going,” etc. I pride myself on using correct grammar but feel like a dinosaur when I read the newspaper or listen to TV. Dear Readers: To be totally honest, I wasn’t sure anyone would read that question. My column has to fill a specific slot, so I must keep it close to a certain number of words. That particular day I was a little short and needed what I refer to as a “filler,” something brief and easy to answer, and this question fit the bill. I celebrated my 76th birthday in June, so I grew up in a time when grammar really did matter. I was pleasantly surprised to receive all of your emails regarding this little filler question. I am glad to know that I’m not the only one who maintains that grammar is important. Thank you all for writing. ••• Dear Dr. Gott: I have dry burping (no acid taste ever) 30 times a day, five or six burps each time. I am on digoxin for a rapid and irregular heart rate. Could my heart condition have anything to do with the excessive dry burping? It happens any time of day, whether my stomach is empty or after I have eaten. I am an 85-yearold female. Dear Reader: Your heart condition is likely atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes skipped beats and a rapid heart rate. I don’t believe it is the cause of your excessive burping; however, your medication may be. Digoxin can cause nausea,

vomiting, diarrhea and anorexia (loss of appetite). Most individuals associate these symptoms with stomach upset that can also produce excess gas. Burping and belching (known as eructation) is not listed as a side effect; however, it is my belief that if digoxin can cause nausea and other side effects, it can likely cause your problem as well. Other possibilities include your diet, gastroesophageal reflux disease (which does not have to create heartburn or an acid taste in the mouth), other medications you may be on, or other gastrointestinal disorders. I suggest you speak with your doctor regarding your concerns. Perhaps a change in medication or dosage, or a referral to a gastroenterologist, is called for. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Dear Dr. Gott: My letter has nothing to do with a medical problem — just a response to something I read in your column today. Kudos to you for responding to the grammar question the way you did (agreement of pronouns in gender and number). Sadly, it has become a widespread habit these days to to a perDR. PETER refer son of unspecGOTT ified gender as “they.” I’m glad you stick to your guns and use “he” and “she” as traditional grammar requires. Dear Dr. Gott: I have no medical issue to discuss. I simply want to offer my sincere thanks for your recent reply to a reader who proposed that you use the grammatically incorrect “they” instead of the proper “he or she” that you use. I am also one who refuses to bow to modern society’s laxity. I admire you sticking to your principles! Dear Dr. Gott: Thank you, thank you for addressing one of my pet peeves — the incorrect use of a singular antecedent and a plural pronoun. As a former English teacher, I despair when I read and see the mangling of the language. In addition to your excellent grammar, your column is a fine source of intelligent advice. Dear Dr. Gott: Thank you for your comments about correct grammar usage. Adults in the country sound uneducated with their “me

Tuesday, July 26 A growth of your innate leadership qualities will continue in the year ahead. As you develop further, people, events and circumstances will put you in front of the pack, leading the way in both your field of endeavor and your private life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be as generous with your funds as people have been with you in the past. Consider purchasing some things that you enjoy but that would also provide a lot of pleasure for others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even though the job at hand might be unusually tough to do, continue to work with a flourish. It’ll impress others as to how well you handle rough assignments and keep on smiling. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you want to make an impact, let others think your ideas came from them. You’ll be able to be more effective pulling the strings from the background than from a visible position. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This can be an especially good cycle for accomplishing your hopes and expectations, so make the most of it. Don’t let anybody with a negative attitude influence your mindset or position. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Focus your attention on accomplishing your most desirable objectives at this time. Regardless of the impediments involved, you have the ability to get what you’re after. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If some of your associates aren’t in accord with your way of thinking, don’t knock yourself out trying to convince them. Quietly go about doing what you believe to be necessary. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Don’t hesitate to rely upon a loyal associate if you lack the wherewithal to handle something important. Select someone who you know can fill in all the empty spaces. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Fairness and tact are two of your greatest assets, which you’ll use quite wisely. Others will respond in kind when they see you are doing your best not to overwhelm them. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Continue to keep performing to the best of your abilities, because with the trends now favoring you, especially where your work is concerned, you can make substantial progress. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — If you’re with an individual who you know to be on a tight budget, don’t embarrass him or her by showing off how much you can spend. Be careful when handling money matters. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Should you find yourself in a situation that isn’t likely to improve, do what you can to wrap it up instead of letting it hold you back. The sooner it’s gone, the quicker you can start to make progress. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Trust and depend on your own ideas instead of trying to seek approval from those who aren’t involved and who know little about what you’re doing. Believe in yourself.

If East plays low also, the contract makes with at least one overtrick. But East should notice the aroma of rodent wafting over the table. Why would South not cover the jack with dummy’s queen? East should overtake with his er, pre-empt. However, some heart ace and place the club flexibility is sensible. In this queen onto the table. deal, South’s total is 21: 10 high-card points and 11 cards in his two longest suits. But I would always open four spades. Yes, I might miss a slam.

Wet weather persists in the East, heat moves over the Mississippi, and storms develop in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Tuesday. A low pressure system moving through eastern Canada will continue pushing a cold front southward through the East. On Tuesday, the system will kick up scattered showers and thunderstorms over the extreme Northeast, as well as the Mid-Atlantic and Gulf states. Strong winds, large hail, and periods of heavy rainfall are likely. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure builds over the Plains and Mississippi River Valley. The ridge will allow for hot conditions to return to these areas, with high temperatures to reach over 100 from the Southern and Central Plains to the Mid- and Lower Mississippi River Valley. Heat indicies will surpass 110 degrees, thus, heat advisories have been issued across the region. Meanwhile, in the North, another trough of low pressure will advance eastward off the Northern Rockies. As this system moves into the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, it will create a warm front that will trigger heavy showers and thunderstorms. Some of these storms will turn severe with large hail, damaging winds, and possibly a tornado or two. Flooding will remain of concern for the Missouri River and surrounding tributaries. Out West, monsoonal moisture lingers over the Four Corners, allowing for more thunderstorms to develop across the deserts of the Southwest in the afternoon and evening hours. A trough of low pressure over the West Coast will create more low clouds and fog along the coasts, with sunny and warm conditions inland.
