RCCC board seeks bond referendum

PAYING RESPECTS TO NO.7

BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

David and Jennifer Snider were joined by sister and brother-in-law, Megan and Stephen Johnston, to receive friends during the visitation held in the auditorium at North Rowan High School. Patrick Snider passed away Friday after a seven-month battle against cancer.

S

PENCER — High school isn’t supposed to be like this.

Spirit rocks aren’t supposed to become gravestones.

Hallways are for running, not for somber lines of people signing guestbooks and waiting to give their condolences to a grieving family.

A high school auditorium should be reserved for pep rallies, drama class productions and student government debates.

It shouldn’t be filled with stand after stand of flowers, candles and heartwrenching music.

Yet North Rowan High MARK School — WINEKA home of the Cavaliers — was the perfect place Monday evening for hundreds on hundreds of

Patrick’s ball cap and baseball glove sit on a table. people to pay their respects to the family of Patrick David Snider, the 17-yearold rising senior who died last Friday afternoon after a seven-month fight against cancer.

Yes, the perfect place.

You could feel Patrick in the hall, or sitting there in one of the auditorium’s creaky, plywood seats.

You could sense him out back on the baseball diamond, warming up on the mound.

Maybe he was popping into the school office, or standing out on the front steps.

He just seemed to be SNIDER there, and it made things easier for everybody.

“The minute I heard it, I thought it was a great idea,” Patrick’s third-grade teacher, Rebecca Davis

O’Neal, said of the decision to hold the emotional visitation at the high school.

“He’s home,” said her former assistant, Loretta Landreth. “This is where he would want to be.”

A long line in the hallway outside the auditorium’s front doors began forming well in advance of the 5-7 p.m. visitation. Monitors at the entrance could only let so many people into the auditorium at a time.

Before going in, visitors were encouraged to take green and yellow bands — Cavalier colors — and part of the Livestrong theme that became the mantra for Patrick Snider.

Everybody also received a glossy card outlined in the school colors, bearing Patrick’s No. 7 from his baseball jersey and a photograph of him in his Cavalier uniform.

Under the picture was a quote from Patrick, coming only a few weeks before he died.

“Had a little kid tell me at the game last night that I

SARAH CAMPBELL The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education named principals for Carson and Henderson Independent high schools Monday.

Kelly Withers, who is currently an assistant principal at Carson High, will take over for retiring principal Henry Kluttz.

Trisha HutWITHERS son-Baptist, an assistant principal at South Charlotte Middle School, will assume the top spot at Henderson.

“We have two very competent people coming into the system,” board Chairman Jim Emerson said Monday.

The board voted unanimously to approve the recommendations made by a selection com-

mittee during a called meeting Monday.

“I feel their recommendations are right on track,” Emerson said.

Withers said she plans to maintain the high level of leadership put in place by Kluttz by adding to the school’s strong foundation.

“I’m very excited to continue at Carson,” Withers said Monday. “We’re going to miss Mr. Kluttz, but I can’t wait to get started.”

A Facebook page supporting Withers for the job drew hundreds of members, including current Carson teachers and students, though school system officials said that would have no bearing on whether she was selected.

“I think we have a good process in place for selecting principals,” Emerson said.

“We’re not doing it by Facebook or Wikipedia.”

Emerson said school board members, school administraToday’s forecast 90º/73º Some sun, couple of t’storms

tors, staff members and parents made up the selection committee that interviewed a combined 16 candidates for the two positions.

“Mrs. Withers brings a strong sense of continuity to Carson,” board Vice-Chairwoman Jean Kennedy said.

“She is well-established in the community.”

Hutson-Baptist replaces Ken Sherrill. Rowan-Salisbury officials learned earlier this month the school system had won a nearly $2.2 million grant to improve student achievement and increase the graduation rate at Henderson. Among the requirements for accepting the grant money was replacing the principal and at least half the teaching staff.

School system officials said Sherrill would be reassigned within the system.

School board names new principals scampbell@salisburypost.com

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College wants to ask voters to fund renovations and repairs to the school’s nearly half-century old North Campus.

Increased enrollment and aging facilities, which provide limited mobility for disabled students and faculty, prompted the college’s board of trustees to approve a resolution of support for a bond referendum.

“RCCC’s North Campus is approaching 50 years, and there are a lot of repairs and renovations needed,” Jeff Lowrance, RCCC’s director of college relations, said.

The estimated bond amount would total between $15 and $18 million for capital improvements and projects at RCCC’s North Campus in Salisbury.

“It’s not a surprise to you that the Rowan Campus is in need of repair,” Dr. Carol Spaulding, RCCC president, said during a special called meeting of the board Monday. “The idea for a bond referendum came out of discussions with the (county) commissioners.”

Board Chairman Ray Paradowski said RCCC has explored other options to finance various repairs and additions to the campus, including seeking additional funds from the Rowan County Board of Commissioners.

The college requested an increase of nearly $3.6 million in its capital outlay budget of $260,130.

Commissioners opted to allocate funds for two leaking roofs for $200,000 and hold off on additional funding.

“The county commissioners gave us what they possibly could,” he said. “Really, a bond referendum is the only solution that we could think of.”

Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz, who serves on the board of trustees, agrees.

“We need the money and there is no other way to get it,” she said.

Possible uses for the bond include: • Installing a nearly $2 million new elevator to comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards; • Adding another elevator for $349,000 to meet ADA compliance; • Installing an ADA compliant ramp for $395,000; • Replacing deteriorating fire exit stairs for $435,000; • The removal and construction of a new firefighter training center; • Expansion of health-related programs resulting in the need for more space. The college plans to create a “wraparound” Building 600, giving it a new front to Interstate 85; • New general classroom space; and • Possible additional land acquisition.

“We need to do quite a bit to make the campus more accessible for persons with mobility issues,” Lowrance said. “It’s really tough for our wheelchair students and visitors to navigate the campus.”

Lowrance said as enrollment continues to rise the need for additional programs and space is important.

lotte-Mecklenburg Schools in 2008, has been an educator for more than 20 years. She has served in roles ranging from language arts teacher to English department chairwoman to assistant principal of instruction and curriculum.

“She has very impressive credentials,” Kennedy said. “I feel that she will provide excellent leadership with her prior knowledge and potential skills.”

Kennedy said she feels bringing a fresh face to Henderson is a step in the right direction.

“I think she is the woman for the job,” she said. “Sometimes you need to bring someone new to the community.”

Hutson-Baptist said Monday she is waiting to speak to RSS officials before commenting on her new position.

Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom declined to comment on the new principals Monday.

Mercury rising: Sunday temps break record B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Rowan County scorched under record-breaking heat Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

The Weather Service’s Greenville/Spartanburg office recorded Sunday’s high temperature at 101, meteorologist Scott Krentz said.

That’s one degree hotter than the old record of 100 degrees, set in 1987.

And it felt even hotter Sunday, Krentz said.

The heat index — air temperature combined with humidity — made it feel like 106.

Rowan Regional Medical Center officials said Monday only two people went to the hospital with heat-related illnesses on Sunday. On Friday, when the temperature reached 97 degrees, 13 people went to the emergency room for heatrelated ailments.

This week and through the weekend, Rowan County will get a slight reprieve. The Weather Service predicts today’s high will be in the upper 80s, with highs the rest of the week in the low to mid-90s before dipping into the 80s again over the weekend.

BOND FROM 1A “We need new facilities for our health programs and expanded space for a firefighter training ground,” he said.

RCCC Vice President Rod Townley said overcrowding has become a serious problem for the college.

“We want to prepare for the future. We can’t go wrong by adding more programs,” he said. “We can’t add any more programs on this campus right now.”

Spaulding said the typical cost of a bond referendum is between $40,000 and $50,000.

She said the cost would be

split between the college’s foundation and unrestricted funds.

“It’s our time,” she said.

“It’s really time to get this campus up to the level of other community colleges.”

RCCC will present the resolution to the county commissioners during the board’s regular meeting at 7 p.m.

Aug. 16.

The final resolution will include a more precise estimate of how much construction and supplies are expected to cost.

If approved by commissioners, the bond referendum will be added to the Nov. 2 general election ballot.

was an inspiration to a lot of people... makes me think ... why can’t we all be an inspiration.”

As people eased into the auditorium, they slowly funneled down the rightcenter aisle toward the family, who made a line in front of the stage.

Patrick’s parents, David and Jennifer Snider, met each person first, showing the same kind of courage their only son had displayed in the months of hospital visits, chemotherapy and radiation.

The rest of the family line included grandparents and Patrick’s big sister, Megan, and her husband, Stephen.

The stage was filled with flowers.

Behind Jennifer and David, a screen showed a constant stream of pictures of Patrick — many from his days as a skinny kid growing up with a lot of friends.

There were Christmas mornings.

Playing in the snow.

Laughing on the beach.

Standing on a mountaintop.

Feeling a pinch on his shoulder during a family portrait.

Playing baseball.

Above all else, Patrick was a ball player.

His No. 7 baseball jersey also was displayed on the stage near a large close-up portrait of him in his ballcap.

Early on, the North Rowan High baseball team entered as a group, paid their respects to the family, then found seats in the middle of the auditorium,

It would make everyone — faculty, students and the community — feel more comfortable, he thought.

“I’m just glad it all worked out,” McDowell said, adding that the school likely is to pay tribute to Patrick in the coming school year.

“He was a big part of our student body,” McDowell said.

The school’s spirit rock, which had been painted as a rally cry for Patrick, carried a black bow Monday. New paint on the rock had the dates of his life,

Many others who went through the line also lingered behind, searching out a seat in the auditorium for a time of personal reflection.

A couple of tables next to the family held some of Patrick’s things.

Frame-by-frame photos of his pitching delivery.

His No. 7 wristbands.

Two of his ballcaps.

His baseball glove.

Carly Landreth, a friend of Patrick’s since grade school, said he has been inspirational to her. “He showed how to live your life,” she said. “He was just a great friend to everyone.”

Somehow this kid and his battle against testicular cancer brought together a lot of people.

There were charity baseball games played for him. No. 7 Patrick Snider T-shirts were sold, as well as green and yellow “P.S. No. 7 Keep up the Fight” wristbands.

The “Praying for Patrick” Facebook group grew to more than 11,000 members.

Make-A-Wish Foundation made it possible in his last days for him to attend an Atlanta Braves baseball game and meet his idol, Chipper Jones.

When word of Patrick’s death reached him last Friday, North Rowan High Principal Darrell McDowell sought a way to reach out to the family without intruding.

Through Corinne Mauldin, a faculty member and family friend, he let the Sniders know the staff and the school itself were available if needed. When the family requested that the visitation be held at the

Police 2 hospitalized after wreck investigate multiple tire slashings Six people had tires on their cars slashed overnight on July 21, according to the Salisbury Police Department.

The tire slashings occurred near Cedar and East Lafayette streets.

A total of 14 tires were slashed, and police say there is no relationship between the victims.

Carole Staley, who was staying with a friend in the area that night, noticed her tires had been slashed as she left for work at 6:30 that morning.

“I noticed the neighbor had slashed tires, too,” she said. “And the tires were cut on the outside, to where you couldn’t repair it and have to replace the tire. It’s crazy.”

Staley said she remembers similar cases in the past where mass tire slashings meant gangs were involved.

Police said they found no “tagging” or similar signs that gang members use to take credit for such acts, but they have not ruled out the possibility that a gang may have been involved.

The investigation is continuing.

Airplane pilot in serious condition after crash

BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

The pilot who crashed his plane Saturday afternoon in Enochville shortly after taking off, remained hospitalized in serious condition Monday afternoon.

Paul Baker, 78, of Mooresville, was flown to Charlotte’s Carolinas Medical Center for treatment of injuries sustained in the crash.

Federal Aviation Administration officials returned to the crash site Monday morning with Baker’s family to remove the plane, Rowan County Emergency Services Director Frank Thomason said.

Because the plane crashed in a densely wooded area, authorities brought in a Bobcat tractor to cut a path for the removal. The plane was disassembled and taken to a repair shop in Lexington.

Baker hung upside down in his single-engine, light-sport plane for close to two-and-a-half hours before he was able to reach his cell phone and call for help.

Woman arrested on counterfeit charges Phony bills used for pizza deliveries An East Spencer woman was arrested Friday night after she used counterfeit bills to pay for pizza deliveries from Pizza Hut and Dominos, according to the Salisbury Police Department.

Police say the woman may have also used counterfeit bills at the Taco Bell drive through.

Police located Rashedia Monique Woodberry, 22, at her 101 N. Long Street home and questioned her about the counterfeit money.

According to Police Chief Rory Collins, officers asked Woodberry for identification. When Woodberry pulled out her identification, she also accidentally pulled out a counterfeit $20 bill.

“The officer was able to tell it was counterfeit,” Collins said, noting it was similar to other bills used to purchase pizzas.

Collins said the officer asked Woodberry if she was able to pay for the pizza with actual money, and Woodberry said she didn’t have any and told the officer to take her to jail.

Woodberry was charged with two counts of obtaining property by false pretense.

She was arrested and placed under a $5,000 secured bond.

Collins said counterfeit money is sometimes instantly recognizable by officers and businesses, but that some bills are harder to identify.

Collins also said the police department investigates reports of counterfeit money often, but that it usually comes in spurts.

Fox makes tenth rabies case A dog was euthanized after coming into contact with a rabid fox, Rowan County Animal Control reported. This is the county’s 10th rabies case of the year.

The incident occurred last week at the Weaver Road home of Byron and Ardith Peacock.

The couple reported Thursday they discovered a dead fox in the same area where their dog, Massry, a female Doberman, was kept.

On Friday, the fox was submitted for rabies testing. Massry was not current on her rabies vaccination and was held in quarantine at the Animal Shelter until the owners were notified of the test results.

The Peacocks were informed of the positive results. The dog was euthanized at the owner’s request, a report said.

This is the fourth fox found to be rabid in the county this year.

Two people were taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center following a collision at the intersection of Jake Alexander Boulevard and Faith Road shortly after noon Tuesday.

According to Salisbury Police Officer Brad Jordan, a Kia minivan driven

by Lillie Morgan was headed north on Jake Alexander Boulevard and failed to stop at a red light. The minivan hit a truck at the intersection of Faith Road.

The Kia rolled onto its side and came to rest facing south on the shoulder of the road.

Emergency workers had to climb into the van through the driver’s window to get to Morgan, who was removed from her van through the side window.

The driver of the Toyota truck, James Gandy, was also trapped in his vehicle.

Morgan was taken to Rowan Regional with chest pain, which Jordan said was most likely caused by the air bag.

Morgan had no obvious injuries, but was taken to the hospital to be checked out.

As of late Monday afternoon, both Morgan and Gandy were still in the emergency room. Their conditions were

City of Kannapolis’ first finance director retires

BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — One of the men who helped turn Kannapolis from a company town into an incorporated city will retire this week.

Mike Shinn, the city’s first and only finance director, will leave his post Friday at age 63.

Shinn has served the city since it inSHINN corporated in 1984.

Before Mayor Bob Misenheimer read a proclamation honoring Shinn at Monday’s council meeting, the city finance department was recognized for receiving two awards from the state for budget excellence in 2009.

Under Shinn’s leadership, the finance department has earned the Certificate of

Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting 19 times and the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award 12 times.

“He is always there to try to find creative ways to get things done and keep this city moving in a positive direction,” City Manager Mike Legg said.

“Through a lot of stressful changes in our city, he’s always been rock solid.”

Starting a city from scratch was a unique challenge, Shinn said after the meeting.

“A lot of things happened that could have been very devastating,” he said. “We somehow managed to overcome those things.

“I could see easily where it could have gone the other way.”

Legg described the past quarter-century as a “roller coaster ride” for Kannapolis, which incorporated, built a baseball stadium, acquired a water treatment plant, completed several large annexations and endured two

major droughts.

“Mike was at just about every point of decision-making,” Legg said.

Shinn guided the city finances during the worst and best times — the collapse of Pillowtex and subsequent rise of the N.C. Research Campus, Legg said.

Legg said he only regrets that Shinn will retire before city officials learn if they will sell $30 million in tax increment financing bonds to support the Research Campus.

The city is waiting for word from Standard & Poor’s about whether the agency will assign an investment-grade rating to the TIF bonds, the only way Kannapolis can obtain an interest rate low enough to afford them.

Shinn said he will play golf and oversee finances at his church, First Reformed Church of Landis, during his retirement. He is married to Gail Shinn.

Chris Welch, deputy fi-

nance director, will serve as Shinn’s interim replacement.

The city has received more than 100 applications for the job with about 10 finalists, Legg said.

The finance department will move to 230 Oak Ave. in mid-August, which could help recruit Shinn’s successor.

Council approved a twoyear lease with David Murdock’s Atlantic American Properties to rent 4,229 square feet of furnished office and basement space for $51,286 annually. Murdock owns the Research Campus and most of downtown Kannapolis.

Currently, some finance department employees work in hallways or closets, Legg said.

Kannapolis does not own a city hall or police station and rents these facilities from Murdock. Renting additional office space for administration will allow the city to focus on building a police headquarters,

Red Cross offers Family Caregiver Education Program Right now, her loved ones are mobile and upright, but Mary Graham wants to be better prepared for the days when maybe they are not.

Her husband has stage 4 prostate cancer. Their daughter, who lives by herself, also is dealing with crippling arthritis and scoliosis.

“I need to know more about how to care for my loved ones,” Graham said. “... We know what’s going to happen with my husband.”

For that reason she has enrolled in the second Family Caregiver Education Program to be held at the E.H. Dole Chapter of the American Red Cross on Jake Alexander Boulevard (across from the Salisbury Mall), beginning next Tuesday (Aug. 3) and continuing each

Tuesday evening through Sept.

28.

The classes run from 6-8:30 p.m. and will teach basic skills and knowledge needed for any in-home caregiver with a patient of any age.

Graham said she had some of this kind of training as a member of the Rowan Rescue Squad auxiliary years ago, but she is hoping to gain more knowledge in how to move people in bed or in a wheelchair.

She also is interested in skills such as bathing and shampooing those she might be caring for as they lie in bed, for example.

When her husband was in the hospital a couple of months ago, Graham said, there were things she needed to know that would have helped in his care when nurses weren’t immediately

available.

Again, she’s looking to the Family Caregiver Education Program for some tips.

Offered for the first time earlier this year, the program features registered nurses teaching skills such as taking pulse, respiration and blood pressure; using glucometers; how to bedbathe and shampoo; how to handle medications; use of bed pans, bath seats and toilet seats; and grooming.

Two nights include Salisbury attorney John Basinger discussing legal/financial/funeral issues, and physical and occupational therapists will help with skills such as moving and positioning a loved one from bed to wheelchair and range-of-motion exercises.

Other nights include topics

such as “Understanding Alzheimer’s/Dementia,” the physical and mental aspects of the “Aging Process” and “Healthy Nutrition.”

Participants will be certified in CPR and first aid and learn what resources are available for caregivers and their loved ones in Rowan County.

Program coordinator Rebecca Cleveland says spots are still available.

Participants will make new friends and contacts and are encouraged to form a caregiver support group that will meet occasionally at the E.H. Dole American Red Cross, she said.

The first program was successful with great feedback, she added.

Case overload blamed for AZ fatal crash ID mix-up PHOENIX (AP) — A heavy caseload contributed to the misidentification of two young women following a fatal Arizona car crash, officials said Monday.

Abby Guerra, 19, was initially listed as having died at the scene of the July 18 wreck and her friend, Marlena Cantu, as the one who survived.

But their families were shocked to learn Saturday it was Cantu, 21, who was killed, while Guerra was hospitalized in critical condition with a brain injury, broken back, collapsed lung and other injuries.

The Maricopa County medical examiner’s office said Monday that Guerra’s autopsy was scheduled for Friday — five days after the crash — because of its heavy caseload.

The office added it thought Guerra was the only crash victim yet to be identified.

A dental comparison was completed Saturday and showed the victim wasn’t Guerra, the office said. Dental records for Cantu were then sought, and they confirmed the deceased woman was Cantu.

Meanwhile, the hospitalized woman wasn’t easily identified because she was badly injured and doctors were struggling to save her life, a hospital official said at a Monday news conference.

“The hospital does not conduct fingerprinting nor do dental records in the middle of a trauma situation, because the overwhelming emphasis is on saving the patient’s life,” said Suzanne Pfister, vice president of external affairs at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.

Pfister said the hospital identified the patient as Cantu after asking family members about recognizable marks, scars or bone breaks.

She declined to disclose what features were used in the identification, citing the Guerra family’s request for privacy.

Arizona Department of

Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Kevin Wood added officers and hospital staff spent about five hours trying to identify the patient.

Pfister said the hospital did not know there was a mix-up until the medical examiner discovered it.

Cantu and Guerra were among a group of five friends from Ironwood High School in Glendale, near Phoenix, who were returning from Disneyland when the sport utility vehicle they were in blew a tire.

The driver lost control, and the SUV rolled several times, authorities said.

One of the five — 20-yearold Tyler Parker — was taken to St. Joseph’s, where he died the next day. A woman believed to be Cantu and another person suffered severe head trauma and were also taken to St. Joseph’s.

Guerra’s family spent the past week planning her funeral, and teammates from her soccer team at the University of Evansville in Indiana were preparing to travel to Phoenix to attend the services. On Saturday, they rushed to her bedside after learning of the mixup.

Guerra, a nursing major, was scheduled to begin her sophomore year at the University of Evansville this fall.

Cantu’s father, Frank Cantu, said Monday he can’t believe his daughter is gone.

“It’s unbearable right now,” he said. “To lose her, it’s just losing a big part of my life.”

Cantu said both families found out about the mix-up Saturday afternoon.

“It’s so unfortunate for even the other family, to grieve all week long,” he said.

Cantu said he’s not blaming anyone for what happened yet, but he hopes something can be done to prevent the misidentification of victims in the future.

“We want to find a better solution,” he said. “We don’t want this to happen to anybody else.”

Biden touts stimulus projects in national parks YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. (AP) — Hundreds of stimulus-funded projects under way in national parks across the U.S. are longoverdue upgrades to the country’s neglected “national jewels,” Vice President Joe Biden said Monday.

Biden began a two-day tour highlighting Recovery Act projects in Yellowstone and Grand Canyon national parks by speaking to about 100 park workers, contractors and their families in the scenic Madison Valley, where the famous Madison River is formed in the shadow of 7,500-foot National Park Mountain.

He said some $750 million in stimulus money has gone to about 800 national park projects, which have created jobs in tough times. But, he added, the projects would have been necessary even if the economy was good to protect the parks and reduce man’s footprint there.

“For too long our nation’s crown jewels have been neglected,” Biden said. “Everything we’re doing in this park is worthwhile and needed to be done anyway, whether times were good or bad.”

So when the Recovery Act was passed in an effort to stabilize the economy, it included hundreds of national park upgrades and repairs that had been delayed or stalled, he said.

“We’re beginning to polish once again these national jewels,” he said.

As part of his tour with Jon

Jarvis, head of the National Park Service, Biden stopped at one of the projects nearby, a $4.7 million replacement of the 50-year-old Madison Wastewater Treatment Plant, which park workers say has contaminated the environment and degraded the Madison River’s water quality.

The new plant will be more than double the capacity of the old and will work more efficiently, Biden said. It is an example of how the projects are supposed to reduce the human impacts so that future generations will also be inspired by the parks, he said.

“It’s all about being able to see this beauty without marring this beauty,” he said.

There are 14 different stimulus-funded projects worth $12.4 million under way or completed in Yellowstone, according to park officials.

Among them: • Installation of a new hydroelectric generation plant near Mammoth Hot Springs, which would reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions and save the park $80,000 a year in electricity bills.

• Demolition and replacement of substandard trailers used for National Park Service employee housing.

• Upgrades to the South Entrance Road and historic South Rim Drive along the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.

• Replacing the visitors’ boardwalk around the geothermal features of Biscuit Basin.

Police: Man robs bank in clown pants, fake breasts SWISSVALE, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a Pittsburgharea man robbed a bank wearing a woman’s blond wig, fake breasts under a sweater and clown pants.

Swissvale police say 48year-old Dennis Hawkins of North Braddock was sitting in a parked car covered in red dye from an exploding packet in a bag of money when he was arrested Saturday.

Police Chief Greg Geppert says Hawkins robbed the bank at gunpoint, using a toy BB gun he had shoplifted from a store.

Geppert says Hawkins then entered a woman’s car.

She got out, took her keys and alerted police. Hawkins was found sitting in the car.

He is being held on $230,000 bail. It’s not clear whether he has an attorney.

CAREGIVER Cleveland herself drove to Minnesota recently to see her dying stepfather. She found that the skills she learned in the first program were useful in moving her stepfather from the sofa to his wheelchair and from the wheelchair to the sofa.

“You never know when you’re going to need these skills,” Cleveland says. “I’m not aware of other kinds of training like this in Rowan County. It’s wonderful, even if your loved one already is in a nursing home.”

But Cleveland stresses the program is not only for people who will be taking care of older citizens.

Those needing care from family members may be, for example, youngsters with cerebral palsy, victims of Lou Gehrig’s Disease or young adults with brain injuries from accidents.

“This information will help and give people more confidence,” Cleveland says.

Cleveland says some of the people already signed up for the program include workers from home-health agencies who are looking to expand their skills and training.

a lot about grace and mercy.

Addicts need to hear that.

“It’s a disease; it’s really like a plague,” Strathy said. “If people aren’t working at the recovery, the disease will kill them.”

That is the point that Vicki came to late last year when she left her alcoholic boyfriend.

With no family to support her, she ended up in the Greenville Community Shelters for two months before God’s Hope opened its doors.

“Thank God there are places like this,” she said. “We need places like this.”

Strathy hopes God’s Love and Certain Hope will be able to open more places like this for men and women who want to be free from addiction. The ministries are still hoping to negotiate to purchase Flynn Home, which would be renamed God’s Hope House 901.

Ultimately, the ministries hope to collaborate to provide transitional apartments and even permanent housing for redeemed addicts in west Greenville.

“That’s kind of the broad vision,” Strathy said. “... It’s big.

worrying about wanting drugs.”

Rena has been at that point before. She was clean for five years until her boyfriend passed away. Now she is ready to try again.

“I’m not a failure until I quit trying,” she said.

Experts say it may take many treatment experiences for an addict to obtain lifelong abstinence. The Scripps Research Institute estimates that 80 percent of addicts who get off drugs in detoxification go back to drugs within a year.

“Twenty-eight days is not enough,” Halstead said. “They (detoxification programs) get them started. What happens when these kind of houses are not in place is when they walk out the door (of the detoxification center) they go back to their same environment because they don’t have anywhere else to go. ... Without Jesus, recovery is impossible.”

God’s Hope will employ a 12-step recovery program that focuses on Bible study and Christian counseling. Volunteers from a half dozen churches have signed on to alternate with Halstead to spend nights at the house and to drive its residents to classes or job interviews, to doctor’s appointments or the grocery store.

“We want them to stay in recovery,” Halstead said. “We don’t want them to go back out.”

Vicki, 54, hopes to stay with God’s Hope for a while. Sexually abused as a child, Vicki began drinking alcohol at age 11 and started using marijuana at 14. Her addiction led her into prostitution and prison. She completed her first rehab program in 1984.

“I stumbled through the years,” she said. “I’d make it six months. It hasn’t been that easy to come up out of it. The statistics are horrible.”

Rouse knows that too well.

In her six years of teaching a Bible study at Once Lost Now Found, she saw some women succeed in the program, while others left too soon, most likely to return to their former ways of life.

“That is not my responsibility; that is God’s,” said Rouse, who has volunteered to become day manager at God’s Hope House. “All he has asked me to do is love them, just be there and love them. That’s all I know how to do. He is the one that will deliver them. He is what they need.”

Strathy said Christianbased recovery programs offer hope that other programs simply cannot match.

“There’s something about a Christ-centered recovery program,” he said. “Jesus talked

interior designer Jennifer Elmore was an answer to that prayer.

Elmore had kept Halstead’s card in her desk drawer since donating some items to God’s Love ministry at Christmas.

Two months ago, Elmore had a mysterious yet overwhelming urge to call Halstead’s number.

“I called her and I said, ‘Trudy, do you need for me to help you with anything? For some reason, God’s just telling me to call you,’ ” Elmore said.

“She started crying. She said, ‘We have been praying; we just got this house.’ ” Elmore and her husband provided the paint and they helped about 30 volunteers add color to the five-bedroom house. Hues of pink and purple, orange and blue, along with lace curtains and cozy quilts welcomed the first residents who moved in last week.

Among them is Kristy, who recently completed a stay at the Walter B. Jones Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Center. It was the second time Kristy had completed the inpatient program. This time, she hopes the changes will be permanent.

At 23, Kristy has two DWIs. If she violates probation, she will spend a year in prison. Her father is incarcerated and has been diagnosed with cancer.

Her grandmother, who raised Kristy, has recently gone to an assisted-living facility.

Kristy’s mother has heart problems.

“I’ve been through a lot of stuff,” Kristy said. “It’s been one thing after another.”

Just weeks before moving into God’s Hope House, Kristy was involved in a car crash while riding with her mother.

She feels blessed to have survived.

“I am a very religious person,” Kristy said. “I’ve just made bad decisions. I’ve just finally decided that I have a purpose. I’m here for a reason.”

Rena, 49, has come to God’s Hope to complete the recovery she began more than a year ago.

A former drug addict, Rena has not had a relapse since April of last year, but she knows she is not ready to be on her own.

When her house mate began bringing alcohol into their home, Rena knew it could be a threat to her recovery.

She gathered her things and left.

“I want to move back home,” she said Thursday as she unpacked her clothes in her room at God’s Hope. “I want to get back to the point where I can go out without

GREENVILLE (AP) — Once Lost Now Found always seemed to be a fitting name for the halfway house on Ninth Street. It was an apparent biblical reference to the prodigal son in the New Testament book of Luke who squandered his inheritance with reckless living before returning to his father.

But the name took on a somewhat different meaning this spring when the home for women recovering from substance abuse closed its doors.

Last week, the home got a second chance, as three women moved in to begin taking steps toward rehabilitation.

Now known as God’s Hope House 118, it will provide shelter for seven women who have been addicted, homeless or in prison. The house, which will continue a Christian-based recovery program similar to that of Once Lost Now Found, will be operated by volunteers from God’s Love and Certain Hope ministries.

The two ministries — one which provides furniture and clothing to the needy, the other an outreach to west Greenville — had initially planned to collaborate on another project: a recovery home for men. Directors Trudy Halstead and Walter Strathy had begun efforts to purchase the Flynn Christian Fellowship Home, a 17-bed facility that was placed on the market last summer due to financial struggles, when the women’s home came to their attention.

“When I learned in April that the woman that ran that house was going to give it up, I didn’t want that to happen,” said Emily Rouse, a long-term volunteer for Once Lost Now Found. “So I went to Walter and to Trudy and said, “This is what’s happening. What can we do?”

By May they had taken steps to take over the lease on the Ninth Street property.

Then, without hosting a fundraiser, naming a board of directors or even crafting a formal mission statement, the ministries began recruiting volunteers for the hasty renovation needed to get the house ready for its new residents on July 1.

“If we waited to get the money to open this house, what’s going to happen to these girls that are struggling right now?” Halstead asked. “Where are they going to be? I just have to walk by faith and pray for God’s provision because that’s where it’s all coming from anyway.”

She asked God for someone to help spruce up the place to make it warm and inviting to its new residents. Greenville

N.C. forecasters spot aging baby boomers’ troubles likely than any other group to gamble once or more a week and are increasingly using marijuana and other illegal drugs, the newspaper reported.

The indicators aren’t all bad.

The state’s baby boomers smoke less than younger generations. Seven out of 10 eat green salad at least once a week, the highest figure for any age group.

North Carolina researchers say the state’s over-60 population will grow by about 40 percent between 2009 and 2030, when their numbers outstrip the number of youths 17

“I want to get the word out about the things people have to learn before they get to retirement,” said Joan Pellettier, 58, director of the Triangle J Area Agency on Aging, which coordinates aging programs in seven central North Carolina counties. “I am thinking of moving our focus from people who are 60 and older to people that are 50 and older.”

The state Center for Health Statistics says more than a third of state residents between 55 and 64 are obese.

They’re bulkier than those a decade younger as well as those a decade older. One in

Kannapolis City Council awarded a $624,526 contract to Blythe Development Co. of Charlotte for the Wood Avenue street improvement project.

Funded by a Community Development Block Grant, the project will include asphalt, curb and gutter and stormwater system improvements to Wood Avenue and Hudson Street between Dale Earnhardt Boulevard and Carver Street.

Work also includes utility improvements to Wood Avenue between James Street and Reid Street.

The extension of Wood Avenue from Foster Street to Hudson Street will make the area safer, less isolated and more marketable, Public Works Director Wilmer Melton said.

“We need to start asking elderly people, ‘By the way, do you smoke and use marijuana?’ ” Delany said.

As people head into their 60s, they are often taking prescription medicines, and doctors aren’t sure what the interactions with illegal drugs might cause. But some studies show that certain levels can lead to hypertension.

Older people affected by drug use can be expected to increase the demand for Medicaid and Medicare services as the boomers move into retirement years.

Baby boomers may also have fewer resources to look after themselves in later life.

About six of 10 adults nearing retirement say they lost money in the past year in retirement accounts, compared to 28 percent of those between ages 18 and 29 and 36 percent of seniors age 65 and older, according to the Pew Research Center.

“Generally speaking, I’d say most baby boomers are not well-prepared, and they’re getting down to that last 10 years when you need to get your act together,” said Raleigh financial adviser Frank Smith, 68.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The International Foodservice Distributors Association (IFDA) has recognized U.S. Rep. Howard Coble with a 2010 Thomas Jefferson Award.

During each Congress since 1992, IFDA presents the Thomas Jefferson Award to U.S. Senators and Representatives COBLE who “demonstrate their commitment to building our nation’s economy and reducing government regulation,” according to an IFDA press release.

“In this critical time, Rep. Coble has stood strong and taken the difficult votes to protect America’s businesses, stimulate economic growth, and promote prosperity for the American people,” said IFDA President and CEO Mark S. Allen in the press release.

Recipients of the award supported IFDA’s position at least 70 percent of the time on 9 House votes deemed critical to the food service distribution industry and the Jeffersonian ideals of free enterprise.

These included votes on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590), The American Clean Energy and Security Act (HR 2454) and the FY 2010 Congressional Budget Resolution (S.Con.Res. 13), among others.

The complete list of votes can be found on the IFDA website at www.ifdathomasjeffersonawards.org.

The award is a customsculptured replica of Thomas Jefferson as depicted in the Jefferson Memorial, framed by his four pillars of prosperity: agriculture, manufacturing, commerce and navigation.

The TRICARE Mental Health Care Access Act, S. 3371, would remove the TRICARE physician referral and supervision requirement, the press release said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Sen. Kay R. Hagan (DNC) cosponsored a bipartisan bill last week designed to help service members access mental health care services.

According to a press release from Hagan’s office, TRICARE, the health care system for service members, requires them to obtain a physician referral in order to see a licensed mental health counselor. However, this is not applied to licensed social workers or certified marriage and family therapists.

“Our service men and women put their lives on the line for our country, and they now face an unnecessary, administrative hurdle to accessing mental health care,” Hagan said in the press release. “As a U.S. Senator from North Carolina

Group feeds the beasts with pet food castoffs WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — A North Carolina pet food salesman is trying to build a food network to help people struggling to feed pets.

The Winston-Salem Journal reported Monday that Scott Morgan set up a nonprofit organization called Share the Love Pet Food Bank.

The group tries to keep unsaleable industry castoffs from going to waste.

The group is collecting up to 3,000 pounds of food a month and passing it on to some of its network of nearly two-dozen rescue organizations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The Yadkin County Humane Society distributes the food it from the nonprofit to people receiving Meals on Wheels.

Share the Love has found companies willing to donate food, a warehouse for storage and distribution, and a trucking company to haul big collections.

Boy survives injury from metal rod in brain CHAPEL HILL (AP) — A North Carolina family is thankful for their 17-monthold son’s life after a gruesome household injury.

The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday that Jessiah Jackson is free of any apparent brain damage after a neurosurgeon removed a metal part lodged two inches into the back of the boy’s brain.

The boy had fallen off a chair at his family’s home in Wilmington and fell onto an Lshaped part from a pressure washer. He was rushed to University of North Carolina Hospitals in Chapel Hill, where a neurosurgeon removed the metal after two hours of surgery.

The rod missed critical blood vessels in the boy’s brain by only a hair.

Examinations haven’t found evidence of long-term damage.

35 acres next to Blue Ridge Parkway now protected WAYNESVILLE (AP) — A 35-acre tract next to the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina has been protected to save its scenic views and wildlife habitat.

The Mount Lyn Lowry property is adjacent to the parkway on the Jackson-Haywood County line near Waterrock Knob, between mileposts 449 and 450.

With funds from private donors, the Conservation Trust for North Carolina purchased the land on July 16 from a group of investors represented by a Sylva firm.

CTNC says it plans to convey the tract to the National Park Service for inclusion in the boundaries of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The property is home to a variety of native wildlife and contains a portion of a state Significant Natural Heritage Area due to its undisturbed plant communities.

Marines build full immersion training complex WILMINGTON (AP) — A North Carolina Marine base is building an indoor training complex to simulate the “fog of war” of Afghan combat, a project designed to reduce mental health problems by better preparing Marines for battle stress.

Camp Lejeune project officer Will Smith says the infantry immersion trainer is scheduled to open in February. Construction started earlier this month on the warehouse-sized range that combines live and virtual training in a mock Afghan village with the sounds and smells of war.

The Camp Lejeune trainer resembles a similar installation in a 30,000-square-foot former tomato-packing warehouse near Camp Pendleton, Calif. The Marine Corps also has one at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., and will eventually have trainers in Hawaii and Okinawa, Smith said.

The Marine Corps has the highest suicide rate in the armed services and has made huge additions to its mental health care departments to keep up with a skyrocketing number of troops seeking help. Assistant Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Amos says the trainer will give Marines the tools to cope with combat stress.

“Realistic training prepares our deploying Marines by simulating as closely as possible the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations of combat,” Amos told a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on suicide, traumatic brain injuries and post traumatic stress in June.

The trainer will be located in an industrial area of the base. The Marines will leave from a nearby mock forward operating base and patrol all the way to the trainer. The inside of the trainer will resemble an Afghan village with a rocky landscape and a ditch that resembles a brook. It will be populated by role players and life-sized images projected on walls.

Marines will hear deafening explosions and smell meat cooking in the market or gunpowder after a fire fight, Smith said.

“The stress level is going to be very high. The sights, sounds and smells are going to create the fog of war,” Smith said.

After the exercise, the squad can analyze the fight.

The trainer will have hundreds of cameras so each Marine will be able to watch what he did. The goal, Smith said, is to make sure the Marines learn from their mistakes.

“We can capture the actions of everyone from the squad leader to the rifle man,” Smith said. “We want to build on mistakes so that he comes back walking home and not in a body bag.”

RALEIGH (AP) — The North Carolina State Highway Patrol says it is seeing a decrease in the number of teen driver fatalities across the state.

The patrol said on Monday that it has investigated the deaths of 28 teen drivers so far this year. That compares with 47 such fatalities through the same period in 2009.

Highway Patrol Col. Randy Glover says troopers will continue to look at ways on improving the numbers. This year the Highway Patrol conducted an operation in May and June near high schools around North Carolina to enforce traffic laws and educate drivers.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — State officials say Department of Defense spending in North Carolina has exceeded $4 billion.

The spending in fiscal year 2009 was a 10 percent increase over the $364 million spent in the year before. Gov. Beverly Perdue said the numbers indicate that the state is becoming a significant player in the military and defense industry.

The state says 86 of North Carolina’s 100 counties have businesses that performed defense-related work last year.

A 2008 Department of Commerce study found that the military has a $23 billion impact on North Carolina’s overall economy.

Hearings also are planned today in Henderson and Thursday in Franklinton.

State Transportation Department officials want feedback as they refine a $2 billion plan to build the Raleighto-Richmond, Va., rail line.

It’s part of a Southeast rail corridor that will eventually connect Charlotte, N.C., to Washington, D.C., with trains traveling at top speeds of 110 miles per hour.

Outdoors report

Crossbows legal this deer season Here’s some great news for hunters who bought a crossbow last season but then found the regulation change was held up and did not go into effect as soon as it was scheduled.

Hunters who choose to use traditional archery equipment still get to hit the woods first on Sept. 11, but now with a few changes.

• First, crossbows are considered a legal hunting weapon and can be used anytime bow and arrow hunting is allowed. There is no special permit required to hunt with one, as there was in the past.

In order to purchase a crossbow, a person must first obtain a pistol permit from the sheriff’s office of his or her home county. A pistol permit is not required if the person has a valid state concealed handgun permit and is a current resident of North Carolina at the time of the purchase.

• During hunting seasons, lawful archery equipment may be used on private lands on Sundays. To make it clear, you may hunt on private land on Sunday with all legal forms of archery equipment including crossbows. The one exception to this is that no migratory game birds may be taken on Sunday.

• A hunter may continue to hunt with archery equipment for deer on both private lands and public gamelands during the muzzleloader deer season.

• For a hunter who hunts by the aid of a bird of prey (falconry), this activity may be practiced during hunting season on private lands and public game lands on Sunday, with the one exception of no migratory game birds to be taken on Sunday.

• The daily bag limit of two deer per day is removed. If you have six deer on your harvest report card (deer tags) and two bonus antlerless deer tags, you could legally take eight deer in one day. It should be noted that the antlered deer restriction of either two or four antlered deer is still in effect, according to which portion of the state you hunt.

• A two-week muzzleloader season is established by shortening the archery only season by one week.

• Deer season in the Northwestern season is changed so that the regular gun season will extend through Jan. 1 of each year on private lands and game lands. This includes the counties of Davie, Iredell, Forsyth, Stokes, Yadkin, Surry, Wilkes, Alexander, Catawba, Lincoln, Gaston, Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga.

• The Eastern, Central and Western deer season remains unchanged.

• Open all private lands in the Eastern, Central and Northwestern seasons to the maximum either sex deer season. What this means is that from the beginning of deer season to the end of the season, antlerless deer are legal to be taken on private land as long as the hunter has a valid unfilled harvest report card or bonus antlerless report card (deer tags).

• Assign all of Moore County to the Eastern deer season.

The regulation digest is scheduled to be available by mid-August at any Wildlife Service Agents (places that sell hunting/fishing licenses). The printing of these were held up to allow for the proposed changes to be included in the new book. These regulation digests are available free upon request.

Deer season dates Eastern Deer Season (all private lands open to maximum either- sex season) Archery: Sept. 11-Oct. 1 Muzzleloader: Oct. 2-15 Gun: Oct.16- Jan. 1, 2011 Central Deer Season (all private lands open to maximum either-sex season) Archery: Sept. 11-Oct. 29 Muzzleloader: Oct.30-Nov. 12 Gun: Nov. 13- Jan. 1, 2011 Northwestern Deer Season(all private lands open to maximum either-sex season) Archery: Sept. 11-Nov. 5 Muzzleloader: Nov. 6-19 Gun: Nov. 20-Jan. 1, 2011 Western Deer Season Archery: Sept. 1 -Oct. 2 and Oct. 18-Nov. 20 Muzzleloader: Oct. 4-16 Gun: Nov. 22-Dec. 11 E-mail Sgt.

Man says he found piranha in river RALEIGH (AP) — A Raleigh man thought he had come upon a 10-inch piranha in a North Carolina river. But an expert says it was more likely just a pacu.

The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that John Bobbitt caught the fish in the Neuse River on July 17. He says his fish had a snub nose and lots of sharp teeth.

Bobbitt says a local wildlife officer also thought the fish was a piranha, far from its native South America and illegal to own.

But fish curator Wayne Starnes with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences says the fish is probably a pacu, a tropical fish that loves fruit a lot more than flesh.

Officials guess the fish was a pet that was dumped into the stream.

Another pacu was found in the Northeast Cape Fear River in the past week.

Dead jellyfish stings beachgoers RYE, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire authori-

ties say about 100 people have been stung by a large dead jellyfish that broke into pieces at a state park beach, and nine children were treated at a hospital.

Wallis Sands State Park Manager Ken Loughlin says lifeguards spotted the jellyfish, which he described as the size of a “turkey platter” and weighing nearly 50 pounds.

A Rye Fire Department lieutenant says the jellyfish fell apart when the state park staff tried to remove it on Wednesday, and its stingers were still active even though it was dead.

Doug Grout, chief of marine fisheries for the state, says it’s a Lion’s Mane jellyfish, a species rarely seen so far south and in shallow waters. In northern New England, they average 8 feet in diameter and can have tentacles as long as 150 feet.

Fishing with Capt. Gus

Jigging spoons find homes in tackle boxes everywhere A jigging spoon is a slender slab of metal with a single or triple hook on one end and an eye or swivel on the other that connects to the fishing line.

This lure is available in a variety of colors and sizes, ranging from a quarter ounce to several ounces. Jigging spoons are best fished vertically over concentrations of fish in deep water.

Originally, the jigging spoon was used primarily in saltwater where it caught a variety of fish.

Now it has found a home in the tackle boxes of many inland fishermen. On Lake Norman, the jig is used to tempt everything from white perch to stripers. Surprisingly, they also take a fair share of spotted bass, blue and flathead catfish.

When fish are deep and bait is difficult to keep alive (as during the summer), jigging spoons are an excellent alternative to shiners, shad and herring. The lure can be fished in a variety of ways, but is

best worked vertically through a school with a yo-yo motion. The up and down motion duplicates the look of a struggling baitfish as it settles toward the bottom.

As a rule, fish look upward in search of food, so keep the lure just above the school. Likewise, most of the strikes will come on the fall, so allow the lure to sink slowly.

Maintain a tight line so the slightest bite can be detected. When a bite occurs, a twitch of the rod is all that’s needed to set the hook.

A piece of strip bait or a whole baitfish can be added to the hook.

This addition will give it more action and will add a scent to the metal jig. Another popular add-on is a string of Sabiki flies strung above the jigging spoon. The Sabiki rig simulates the appearance of a school of baitfish under attack from a bigger fish (the jig). Sabikis are sold pre-tied and can be purchased at most fishing tackle outlets.

The Sabiki rig has become very

popular with white perch fishermen. Most use a string of three to six sabiki flies above a half, three quarter or one-ounce jigging spoon. While lots of perch are taken on this rig, other game fish, including bass and stripers, are attracted to it as well.

Since most jigging spoons are made of lead, they can be bent to allow them to flutter as they fall through the water column. Best colors are chartreuse, white, silver and gold.

Upcoming event: Light House Marine Services is offering an instructional course Thursday titled, “How to Safely Navigate Lake Norman.” Topics to be discussed will include “Understanding Lake Norman’s Marker and Buoy System,” “Identifying and Learning How To Avoid Dangerous Shoals” and “How To Use and Interpret Lake Maps.” Registration fee is $25 for the two-hour course conducted by Capt. Gus. The class begins at 6:30

p.m. at Gander Mountain, Interstate 77 Exit 36, Mooresville. To register, or for more information, call Lt. Scott Spivey at 704-5870325 or visit www.Lmservice.org .

Recent hot spots: The heat has most anglers staying home. Those who do venture out will find stripers in the river channel from marker 11, south to the dam. White perch are along the edges of creeks and in the river channel in water to 50 feet deep. Flatheads often lurk below schools of perch and can be caught on live perch or cut bait.

The lake level is about 3 feet below full pond and the water surface temperature is in the 90s. 

Grandparent faces painful estrangement where and she is not allowed to stay at our house.

The truly sad part is that the in-laws are not treated this way. They are included in everything and my granddaughter tells me about it. I’m looking for a support group because I wonder if there are other grandparents out there with the same problem. — Hurt and Sad Dear Hurt: This is a terrible and painful situation. Parents sometimes use access to their children as a wedge to punish their own parents, and though this isn’t fair, legally parents have the right to control who spends time with their child.

You don’t say what factors might have led to this toxic relationship; obviously, the best course is to try to heal this rift in order to make life more peaceful for everyone.

You shouldn’t tolerate being abused in order to see your granddaughter, and if the child witnesses or is drawn into it, it is very bad for her own emotional development.

You should seek professional help to try to mediate a workable solution with your daughter.

Your local department of family and children’s services will recommend a family counselor to work with you — with a goal of getting your

daughter to agree to mediation.

Grandparents groups have sprung up around the country as more grandparents wrestle with access, visitation and custody of grandchildren.

Conduct an Internet search using the phrase “grandparents rights� to see if there is a group near you.

Dear Amy: When my wife and I first married 15 years ago, we struggled as to whom to spend holidays with. We are the only family living close to my parents, and if we did not spend the time with them, they would be alone.

My wife’s large family gathered for every holiday at her parents’ house several hours away.

We started out by driving back and forth to honor both sides of the family. After a few years, my wife’s parents invited my parents to join them for the holidays, so that they would not be alone and so that we would not have to spend so much time driving.

This started a process that has continued for many years.

My father passed away this year, and most of my wife’s extended family came from great distances to honor him at his funeral.

Keep yourself cool and energy bills low this summer Today I have a few wise tips to keep you cool, your summer energy bills low and your air conditioner happy. • Ceiling fans. Using ceiling fans can help lower your cooling bills. In the s u m m e r , moving air gives a “wind chillâ€? effect.

This means you can set the thermoMARY stat at a highHUNT er temperature yet still have a cool feeling. You can set the thermostat at 80 degrees with a fan running, and it will feel like 72 degrees in the room.

The direction your ceiling fan should spin depends on the type of fan you have and at which angle the fan blades have been set by the manufacturer (or you, if you altered them). First, look for a switch marked “forward� and “reverse.� If the blades are angled properly, you want the fan to spin forward during the summer and in reverse in the winter. Set on forward, the fan blows air downward, directly on you.

Is that clockwise or counterclockwise? It depends on your specific fan and the way the blades are set. If you are all mixed up, simply set the fan to high and stand under it. Do you feel the air blowing down on you? Then that is your “forwardâ€? direction. Make a note. • Whole-house fan. Installed in the attic, a wholehouse fan will help cool your home by pushing cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. This type of fan is most effective when operat-

Dear Amy: My daughter forces me to make an appointment to see my grandchild.

Sometimes it is impossible because either she does not return the call or she says they are too busy.

I baby-sat for three years, and now that they no longer need me, I am kept at arm’s length.

ASK I have been screamed at, AMY called names and had doors slammed in my face — all while I was doing the baby-sitting.

Now I am being pushed out of my grandchild’s life because my daughter seems to have all this anger and hatred.

Though her hatred is directed at me, it is really about her own unhappiness.

I was always her punching bag. I want to walk away because the hurt is destroying me, but I’m concerned about my granddaughter and her feelings.

I don’t know what to do because my daughter is making it harder and harder to see the child. We have been excluded from birthdays, recitals, school functions, etc. We are not allowed to take her any-

South rises concern for race above its heat Burning Blogger chose to leave out the rest of the story

s this editorial is being written, the thermometer says it’s 91 degrees outside — an improvement over Sunday’s record-breaking 101 degrees.

Members of the Greatest Generation and early Baby Boomers should seize this opportunity to remind young people that air conditioning is a relatively new development. In years gone by, the best you could do on days like these was stay in the shade and be still if possible. At night, you might wander out of your stuffy bedroom to find a spot with a breeze, maybe the screened-in porch.

Heat. Sweat. Dust. These hallmarks of summer in the South were more than inconveniences. They were props for the staging of the Benighted South, a region the rest of the country regarded as poor, ignorant, bigoted and depraved — part justified, much not. Outsiders even blamed the heat for the Southern drawl.

The end of the civil rights movement and the rise of the Sunbelt corrected that gross generalization, Fred Hobson of the University of Alabama wrote in the “Encyclopedia of Southern Culture.” But was that all? No. “In truth,” Hobson says, “perhaps the coming of interstate highways and widespread air-conditioning had as much to do with the new positive image of Dixie as the departure of lynching and the decline of racial segregation.”

The change has been so dramatic that we seldom think of the South as “Dixie” any more.

The South has risen above the limitations of its sweltering summers. In the process, we have lost some of our culture — sitting on the porch shelling peas, swapping tales and swatting mosquitoes. That’s a pity. But, as much as you might miss Grandpa’s stories and Grandma’s cooking, there is little to regret about the spread of air conditioning.

A

Key to car security Car thefts are down dramatically in North Carolina — 35 percent in the past decade. You can thank technology for that.

OnStar and GPS systems are partially responsible. But according to the experts, most of the credit should go to an innovation you cannot even see — the ignition immobilizer. Most cars come with the immobilizer built in, making it impossible to hot wire the vehicle. You have to have the key.

But car thefts still happen, especially when the weather is extremely hot or cold and drivers leave them running. The ignition is already mobilized, even if the brain isn’t.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Rare is the person who can weigh the faults of others without putting his thumb on the scales” — Byron J. Langenfield

rdinary middle-class Americans have recently been fighting in rallies and through political involvement against unbridled statism, and the last thing they needed was one of their own setting out to prove critics right.

But that’s what happened.

Particularly irked by an NAACP accusation about racism within the ranks of the Tea Party movement, one of its campaigners, Mark Williams, struck back with a smirky gibe about slaves asking Abraham Lincoln not to free them and load them down with re- JAY sponsibilities. AMBROSE The stench was a stench of old, when such jokes could easily produce knowing nods of the head among large numbers wishing to have their ignorant, hateful attitudes reinforced. It was not the first repugnant excess to issue from Williams, and a federation of Tea Party organizations acted quickly. You’re out of this movement, they said to Williams and the group to which he belongs.

Good. Making such a statement was important, even though in two senses it is also meaningless. First, if Williams and friends want to use the Tea Party designation, it’s hard to see what can stop them, and second, the critics won’t care that the major part of this movement of perfectly decent, caring citizens is as horrified as they are at any hint of racial crudeness within it.

To this mostly leftist, gotcha bunch of critics, one voice among millions will represent the whole, no matter that the conclusion itself is a form of bigotry.

We all know how this bigotry works, don’t we? First, in the absence of any evidence whatsoever, the bigots make up their minds about the gross inferiority and moral turpitude of some group or the other and then attempt to justify the judgment with unrepresentative, ill-explored “examples” that exemplify nothing, that prove nothing. I have known racists, real, down-deep, mean racists, and that is how they think.

Many of the critics of the town hall protests and Tea Party movement were playing this bigotry game long before this latest Williams incident, pointing to a few people supposedly shouting racist insults at members of Congress as absolutely confirming their generalizing case.

Now they will also point to a conservative blogger’s video that made the remarks of an African-American woman with the Department of Agriculture appear racist when the words were in fact part of a story of how to recover from racism. It is inexcusable for anyone to edit anything intentionally to mislead others, and that may have happened here. I don’t know for sure, but I do know that making someone look stupid or worse by taking words out of context happens in journalism all the time.

As the writer Lee Harris tells us in a book well worth reading, “The Next American Civil War,” what we are witnessing now is an ages-old story of an elite of experts trying to impose its will on people at large, causing some of them to revolt on behalf of what they see as their inherent rights.

The elite can just barely tolerate this impudence. It assumes these populist dummies will make a holy mess of society if they don’t. And populist movements have their risks.

But many experts agree with the central thesis of the Tea Party that we are now confronted with liberty-denying statism — a Europeanizing of America — and runaway, ruinous debt. The Tea Party just might help save us, and if you have gone to a rally, if you have talked with some members, you know they are not propelled by racism. They are propelled by love of country.

ast week, the conservative outrage machine tried to chew up Shirley Sherrod.

You are familiar with that machine if you have access to the Internet or Fox News. As the name implies, it exists to stoke and maintain a state of perpetual apoplexy on the political right by feeding it a never-ending stream of perceived sins LEONARD against conserPITTS vative orthodoxy.

While the machine will use any available fuel (health care, immigration, Muslims) to manufacture fury, it has a special fondness for race.

Specifically, for stories that depict the God-fearing white conservative as a victim of oppression.

So Sherrod must have seemed a godsend to blogger Andrew Breitbart.

Last Monday, he posted an excerpted video of Sherrod, an African-American employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, telling a NAACP audience how she once hesitated, because he was white, to help a farmer stave off bankruptcy. “Evidence of racism,” Breitbart sniffs righteously in an accompanying post.

Except that it wasn’t.

“After” the NAACP pronounced the video appalling, “after” Bill O’Reilly called her words unacceptable, and “after” the USDA demanded her resignation (all have since apologized) the truth came out, via the full video.

It turns out Sherrod is a daughter of Baker County, Ga., which she describes as

L

Invited by CNN to explain the dissonance between his video and the truth, Breitbart chose instead to reiterate his charge of “racist” sentiment.

BREITBART having been the sort of proudly unreconstructed place where a black man might be murdered by a white one and despite three witnesses, the grand jury would decline to indict. In 1965, Sherrod’s father was that black man, one of many.

So there she is in 1986, working at a nonprofit agency established to help farmers, and in comes this white farmer she finds condescending. She didn’t do all she could’ve for him, she told the audience. Instead, she handed him off to a white lawyer, figuring one of “his own kind” would take care of him.

Which would indeed be appalling and unacceptable, except that when the white lawyer failed to help that farmer, Sherrod resolved to help him herself, to overcome the bitterness and bias of her own heart. That farmer credits her with saving his farm.

Breitbart used a snippet of video to misrepresent her as a black bureaucrat bragging of how she stuck it to the white man. Sherrod’s point was actually about reconciliation, redemption, learning to embrace the wholeness of humanity.

Invited by CNN to explain the dissonance between his video and the truth, Breitbart chose instead to reiterate his charge of “racist” sentiment.

For Breitbart, the video was an attempt to embarrass the NAACP, because it recently passed a resolution denounc-

LETTERS Don’t blame Fox for Sherrod smear I read the column by Anne McFeatters entitled “Fear mongers are Busy.” The “sad story of Shirley Sherrod… who was fired when a blogger named Andrew Breitbart persuaded Fox News she was a reverse racist. ... Inaccurate, unfair excerpting of a video of a speech she gave to a Georgia NAACP gathering and aired

by Fox resulted in her firing. ... Fox News refused to admit its ugly role in smearing a fine public servant.”

Admit? The facts reveal a markedly different account.

Monday (July 19) just after 8 a.m., the video appeared on the Internet (spreading quickly, even to Huffington Post, according to the Rev Jesse Jackson). By mid-afternoon, Ms. Sherrod said she had received three phone calls; the White House wants you out, pull over and resign “because you will be on Glenn Beck.”

At 5 p.m., Glenn Beck’s show aired, making no mention. From 6 to 8 p.m., Fox News made no mention (Fox asks NAACP for an unedited version to check “context”).

Not until 8 p.m. (hours after the firing) was the first mention made on this network (a commentator, Bill O’Reilly).

At 11:55 p.m., Mr. Ben Jealous (NAACP) appeared on TV, cheering the administration for the “resignation.” (Glenn Beck’s first mention of Ms. Sherrod comes Tuesday afternoon, defending her.)

TO THE

ing racist elements in the tea party movement. This is not about Sherrod, he insisted, though she might beg to differ.

In the interview, Breitbart came across as not overly concerned with “truth,” and much less with racial injustice, except insofar as it can be used to further his cause.

And isn’t it telling how often conservatives will discover their burning concern over race just when it becomes useful to them? We saw this last year. In a nation where one state may soon require Latinos to show their papers, conservatives hyperventilated over the “racism” of Sonia Sotomayor extolling the virtues of a “wise Latina.” Now, against the backdrop of an Agriculture Department that long ago admitted to decades of discrimination against black farmers, Breitbart weeps over the “racism” of Shirley Sherrod refusing to assist a white farmer — right up until she did.

It is probably useless to say Breitbart should be ashamed.

There is little evidence he possesses the ability. But Sherrod is pondering a defamation suit, and a judgment in her favor might help him fix that defect.

May she win big. And may the outrage machine choke on the bill.

Howard Dean, ex-Democratic National Committee chairman and founder of “Democracy for America,” as a guest on Fox News Sunday, stated that this is all Fox’s fault and that “Fox News is racist.” Asked if he realized that Fox didn’t air anything about Ms. Sherrod until several hours after the firing, Dean stammered, saying “I’m not going to let the right wing press off the hook.”

Were these also Ms. McFeatters thoughts when she wrote “Fox is biased, and everyone should know it”?

Reverend Jackson (appearing immediately after Howard Dean) chose not to bash Fox News, instead placing the blame where it belongs.

God is in control Don’t people realize they are wasting precious moments of their lives by complaining about worldly issues?

All situations, including earthquakes, poverty, diseases and Antichrists, are supposed to take place prior to Jesus’ return.

People tend to overlook the fact that God is in full control of the whole world.

There are no human beings who can accurately predict the future. Only God knows and it is “His plans” for our future and not mankind’s.

Only thing mankind can do is add to the existing problems we face each day by not using their common sense.

There is only one future event we all can be certain about. When Jesus returns He will take all true children of God with Him. They will no longer have to live upon this earth with Satan and the wicked sinful people.

That’s good news! Praise God! I John 2:15-17: “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”

Pentagon assesses damage done by leak of battlefield reports WASHINGTON (AP) — The monumental leak of classified Afghan war documents threatened Monday to create new conflict with Pakistan, whose spy agency was a focus of much of the material, and raised questions about Washington’s own ability to protect military secrets. The White House called the disclosures “alarming” and scrambled to assess the damage.

The documents are described as battlefield reports compiled by various military units that provide an unvarnished look at combat in the past six years, including U.S. frustration over reports Pakistan secretly aided insurgents and civilian casualties at the hand of U.S. troops.

WikiLeaks.org, a self-described whistleblower organization, posted 76,000 of the reports to its website Sunday night. The group said it is vetting another 15,000 documents for future release.

Col. Dave Lapan, a Defense Department spokesman, said the military would probably need “days, if not weeks” to review all the documents and determine “the potential damage to the lives of our service members and coalition partners.”

The White House says it didn’t try to stop news organizations who had access to secret U.S. military documents from publishing reports about the leaks. However, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it did ask WikiLeaks — through reporters who were given advanced copies of the documents — to redact information in the documents that could harm U.S. military personnel.

BP CEO to step down, take job with joint venture in Russia NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tony Hayward, who became the face of BP’s flailing efforts to contain the massive Gulf oil spill, will step down as chief executive in October and be offered a job with the company’s joint venture in Russia, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made by the British company’s board, which was meeting Monday in London to decide Hayward’s fate.

The decision is the board’s to make, and it was unclear if it had formally done so.

It’s not yet clear what Hayward’s role will be with TNK-BP. He left the board meeting Monday without speaking to reporters, climbing into a silver Lexus that sped off.

BP owns half of the oil firm, which is Russia’s thirdlargest.

It was once run by American Bob Dudley, now the odds-on favorite to replace Hayward as BP CEO. After Hayward made a series of missteps, including telling reporters he wanted his life back as Gulf residents struggled to deal with the spill, Dudley took over as BP’s point man in dealing with it.

He was in London Monday with other board members.

Blagojevich judge clashes with attorney over closing arguments CHICAGO (AP) — The judge in Rod Blagojevich’s corruption trial has clashed with an attorney for the former Illinois governor about what the lawyer can say in closing arguments.

Judge James Zagel sent the jury home for the day Monday after Blagojevich’s attorney Sam Adam Jr. complained the judge was gutting his closing arguments. Adam said he intended to mention witnesses that prosecutors did not call — even though the judge previously warned him not to do so.

Adam also says he would be willing to go to jail for contempt if the judge didn’t change his mind.

Blagojevich and his brother, Robert Blagojevich, have pleaded not guilty to charges including an alleged scheme to sell the Senate seat President Barack Obama gave up when he was elected president.

Calif. city’s mayor and council members say they’ll slash pay BELL, Calif. (AP) — City Council members in a Los Angeles suburb under scrutiny for high salaries said Monday they will drastically reduce their pay at a council meeting later in the day.

The city of Bell issued a statement disclosing the expected cuts.

All four officials make about $100,000, a finding that has prompted backlash from the community and an investigation by the California attorney general.

Bell’s city manager, police chief and assistant city manager all resigned at last week’s City Council meeting, days after it was revealed they were making salaries totaling $1.6 million a year.

Bell is a blue-collar city southeast of Los Angeles with about 40,000 people.

Car bombs targeting Shiite pilgrims kill 25 in Karbala BAGHDAD (AP) — Two car bombs targeting Shiite pilgrims during a religious festival in the holy city of Karbala killed 25 people on Monday, Iraqi police and hospital officials said. Sunni extremists are suspected.

Militants detonated two parked cars filled with explosives about two miles (three kilometers) apart as crowds of pilgrims passed by. Police and medical officials in Karbala, 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Baghdad, said 68 people were injured in the attacks.

The pilgrims were on their way to Karbala to take part in an important religious holiday, known as Shabaniyah, that attracts devout Shiites from around the country.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the Monday bombings, but the method is the hallmark of Sunni extremists.

While violence has dropped dramatically in the past years in Iraq, suspected Sunni insurgents regularly target Shiite religious ceremonies and holy places in an attempt to re-ignite sectarian tensions that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war in 2005 and 2007.

Pelosi, McConnell give different views on unemployment LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday urged state lawmakers to lobby for House-passed initiatives endangered in the Senate, while Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell complained congressional Democrats were out of touch with voters.

The two leaders gave starkly different assessments of the country’s current course in partisan-tinged speeches at the annual meeting of the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Their comments to the bipartisan gathering previewed potential election-year attacks by both parties in their struggle for control of Congress.

Pelosi credited last year’s $787 billion stimulus package, passed over deep Republican objections, with creating or saving as many as 3.6 million jobs so far. She asserted that more jobs will be created in the first eight months of 2010 than in the eight years of Republican George W. Bush’s presidency, though Republicans have frequently disputed those numbers.

“The fact is that those eight years took us into a financial crisis, a deep recession and took us into deep deficits,” the California Democrat said.

A short time later, McConnell countered that the massive stimulus “hasn’t kept us from losing another 21⁄2 million jobs” with unemployment at 9.5 percent.

Khmer Rouge’s chief jailer found guilty of war crimes PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A U.N.-backed tribunal sentenced the Khmer Rouge’s chief jailer to 35 years for overseeing the deaths of up to 16,000 people — the first verdict involving a senior member of the “killing fields”

regime that devastated a generation of Cambodians.

Victims and their relatives burst into tears after learning that Kaing Guek Eav — also known as Duch — will actually serve only 19 years after being convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity after taking into account time already served and other factors.

That means the 67-year-old could one day walk free, a prospect that infuriated many who have been demanding justice for victims of the regime that killed an estimated 1.7 million people between 1975-79.

“I can’t accept this,” said Saodi Ouch, 46, shaking so hard she could hardly talk.

“My family died ... my older sister, my older brother. I’m the only one left.”

More than three decades after the ultra-communist Khmer Rouge killed a quarter of Cambodia’s population while trying to turn the country into a vast agrarian collective, Duch is so far the only person to face justice. The group’s top leader, Pol Pot, died in 1998 and four other senior Khmer Rouge leaders are awaiting trial for their part in the deaths from execution, starvation, medical neglect and slave-like working conditions.

Man who underwent face transplant goes before TV cameras MADRID (AP) — A Spanish man who underwent the world’s first full face transplant appeared before TV cameras Monday for the first time since his surgery, thanking his doctors and the family of the donor.

Identified only as Oscar, the 31-year-old spoke with considerable difficulty at a news conference at Barcelona’s Vall d’Hebron hospital, where he was operated on in late March.

During the 24-hour surgery, doctors lifted an entire face, including jaw, nose, cheekbones, muscles, teeth and eyelids, and placed it masklike onto the man. He has been described as a farmer who was unable to breathe or eat on his own after accidentally shooting himself in the face five years ago.

The head of the surgical team, Dr. Joan Pere Barret, said Monday that Oscar will need between a year and 18 months of physical therapy and is expected to regain up to 90 percent of his facial functions. He is now being released from the hospital and sent home.

He is able to drink liquids and eat soft foods, and has been able to speak for the past two months, the hospital said in a statement. The patient also has regained feeling in most of his face and is partly recovering movement of his muscles. One good sign was that a week after the operation, he had to be shaved because of beard growth.

Housing crisis to continue WASHINGTON (AP) — Thought the housing crisis was over? Not quite.

Despite four years of falling prices and recent signs that they were finally bottoming out, homes are expected to lose still more value in many metro areas over the next year.

Parts of the country already pummeled by the housing crisis, like Las Vegas, Phoenix and Miami, will be hit hardest. But even some places that have rebounded or held up relatively well — including New York, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. — will suffer, too.

That’s the conclusion of economists who have been reducing their estimates for home prices as the outlook for the economic recovery has darkened. The number of homes for sale or headed for foreclosure is so high that they think prices will be even lower by next July.

Because housing is such an important engine of the economy, lower prices could dim the recovery. When home values fall and people have less equity, they tend to cut back on spending. And as prices decline, potential homebuyers stay on the sidelines, slowing sales even more.

senior deputy Jerry anttila, right, fingerprints an unidentified suspect during the booking process at the arapahoe county Justice center in centennial, colo., Monday. the secure communities program runs the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail against FBi criminal history records and department of Homeland security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether they’ve been arrested before.

Immigrant groups criticize fingerprint initiative in Colorado DENVER (AP) — The federal government is rapidly expanding a program to identify illegal immigrants using fingerprints from arrests, drawing opposition from local authorities and advocates who argue the initiative amounts to an excessive dragnet.

The program has gotten less attention than Arizona’s new immigration law, but it may end up having a bigger impact because of its potential to round up and deport so many immigrants nationwide.

The San Francisco sheriff wanted nothing to do with the program, and the City Council in Washington, D.C., blocked use of the fingerprint plan in the nation’s capital.

Colorado is the latest to debate the program, called Secure Communities, and immigrant groups have begun to speak up, telling the governor in a letter last week that the initiative will make crime victims reluctant to cooperate with police “due to fear of being drawn into the immigration regime.”

Under the program, the fingerprints of everyone who is booked into jail for any crime are run against FBI criminal history records and Department of Homeland Security immigration records to determine who is in the country illegally and whether they’ve been arrested previously. Most jurisdictions are not included in the program, but Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been expanding the initiative.

Since 2007, 467 jurisdictions in 26 states have joined.

ICE has said it plans to have it in every jail in the country by 2013. Secure Communities is currently being phased into the places where the government sees as having the greatest need for it based on population estimates of illegal immigrants and crime statistics.

Since everyone arrested would be screened, the program could easily deport more people than Arizona’s new law, said Sunita Patel, an attorney who filed a lawsuit in New York against the federal government on behalf of a group worried about the program. Patel said that because illegal immigrants could be referred to ICE at the point of arrest, even before a conviction, the program can create an incentive for profiling and create a pipeline to deport more people.

“It has the potential to revolutionize immigration enforcement,” said Patel.

Patel filed the lawsuit on behalf of the National Day

Laborer Organizing Network, which is concerned the program could soon come to New York. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, statistical information about who has been deported as a result of the program and what they were arrested for.

Supporters of the program argue it is helping identify dangerous criminals that would otherwise go undetected. Since Oct. 27, 2008 through the end of May, almost 2.6 million people have been screened with Secure Communities. Of those, almost 35,000 were identified as illegal immigrants previously arrested or convicted for the most serious crimes, including murder and rape, ICE said Thursday. More than 205,000 who were identified as illegal immigrants had arrest records for less serious crimes.

In Ohio, Butler County Sheriff Rick Jones praised the program, which was implemented in his jurisdiction earlier this month.

“It’s really a heaven-sent for us,” Jones said. He said the program helps solve the problem police often have of not knowing whether someone they arrested has a criminal history and is in the country illegally.

“I don’t want them in my community,” Jones said.

“I’ve got enough homegrown criminals here.”

Carl Rusnok, an ICE spokesman, said Secure Communities is a way for law enforcement to identify illegal immigrants after their arrest at no additional cost to local jurisdictions.

Jones agreed.

“We arrest these people anyway,” he said. “All it does is help us deport people who shouldn’t be here.”

Rusnok said ICE created the program after Congress directed the agency to improve the way it identifies and deports illegal immigrants with criminal backgrounds. ICE has gotten $550 million for the program since 2008, Rusnok said.

Rusnok said the only place he knows of that has requested not to be a part of Secure Communities is San Francisco, which began the program June 8. Eileen Hirst, the chief of staff for San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessey, said it happened “without our input or approval.”

Hirst said the sheriff thought Secure Communities cast too wide a net and worried that it would sweep up U.S. citizens and minor offenders, such as people who commit traffic infractions but miss their court hear-

ings. Hirst also said the program goes against San Francisco’s sanctuary city policy that calls for authorities to only report foreign-born suspects booked for felonies.

“Now, we’re reporting every single individual who comes into our custody and gets fingerprinted,” Hirst said.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown denied Hennessey’s request to opt out. Brown said that prior to Secure Communities, illegal immigrants with criminal histories were often released before their status was discovered.

This month, Washington, D.C., police decided not to pursue the program because the City Council introduced a bill that would prohibit authorities from sharing arrest data with ICE out of concern for immigrants’ civil rights.

Matthew Bromeland, special assistant to the police chief, said police wanted the program and were talking with ICE about how address concerns from immigrant advocates before the bill forced them to halt negotiations.

Colorado officials became interested in the program after an illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a long criminal record was accused of causing a car crash at a suburban Denver ice-cream shop, killing two women in a truck and a 3-year-old inside the store. Authorities say the illegal immigrant, Francis M. Hernandez, stayed off ICE’s radar because he conned police with 12 aliases and two different dates of birth.

A task-force assembled after the crash recommended Secure Communities as a solution.

Evan Dreyer, a spokesman for Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter, said Ritter recognizes that other states have had issues with the program and he wants to take time to consider the concerns raised by immigrant rights groups before deciding “how or if to move forward.”

The Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition said in its letter to the governor that the Secure Communities is “inherently flawed and should not be implemented.” CIRC said one of its main concerns is that in cases of domestic violence, where both parties may be taken into custody while authorities investigate a case, victims may feel reluctant to report a crime out of fear that their illegal status will be discovered.

ICE maintains that only suspects arrested for crimes — and not the people reporting them — will be screened for their legal status.

Ohio 4-year-old tips police to mother’s slaying CLEVELAND (AP) — Police say a 4-year-old boy abandoned on a street corner tipped off police to his mother’s fatal stabbing, and the woman’s husband now faces charges in her death.

Police say a motorist left the boy in the inner city about 8 miles from his home Sunday night. A witness alerted police, and the boy told investigators his mother had been

stabbed at the home.

Officers found the woman with multiple stab wounds early Monday in a garage at the home, and she was pronounced dead.

Cuyahoga County Coroner’s spokesman Powell Caesar says the mother was identified as 42-year-old Tonya Hunter.

Police Sgt. Sammy Morris says Hunter’s husband, Mau-

rice Lyons, was arrested and that charges of aggravated murder and domestic violence are pending. Morris did not know if Lyons has an attorney.

the FDNY’s position,� he wrote. He ordered Corrigan’s name included in the FDNY group among the names to be listed on bronze parapets at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Memorial spokesman Michael Frazier said officials were examining the implications of the judge’s decision and remained committed to opening the memorial on the attacks’ 10th anniversary.

Years of controversy over how to list the nearly 3,000 names pitted the memorial foundation and Mayor Michael Bloomberg against many Sept. 11 victims’ family members and police and fire unions. Several family groups sought to include the victims’ ages, first responders’ ranks and the tower floors on which trade center victims died.

In 2006, the foundation said names would be arranged in “meaningful adjacencies,� grouping victims who died aboard the hijacked jetliners, the Pentagon or the north or south tower. First responders are to be listed with their respective agencies or units.

For Marie Corrigan, that means a chance for her five grandchildren — all born after her husband’s death — to see his FDNY service and sacrifice honored. “I think it’s important for them, that they can go to a place and see him where he belongs,� she said.

He was awarded a federal 9/11 Heroes Medal of Valor and named in a state law reinstating him to “full active employment status� and awarding special benefits to his family. The FDNY lists him on an online memorial of captains killed in the terrorist attacks and included him in a 2002 memorial service at Madison Square Garden.

But when his family asked that the ground zero memorial list him as a member of the FDNY, not the trade center’s fire-safety staff, the department balked.

Retired members killed in “situations related to fire activity have never been honored in the same manner as active duty personnel killed in the line of duty,� Deputy Fire Commissioner Daniel Shacknai wrote in a letter, according to Queens state Supreme Court Justice Augustus C. Agate’s ruling.

The department argued that the state law restoring Corrigan to active status affected only economic benefits for his family, noting that former Gov. George Pataki vetoed a later proposal to provide him certain honors and awards. Memorial officials echoed the Fire Department’s arguments.

Agate rejected them. “While this court hesitates to become embroiled in the internal decisions of the FDNY regarding a matter of such a sensitive nature, there is simply no rational basis for

Judge: Retiree to get FDNY status on 9/11 memorial NEW YORK (AP) — Helping to evacuate the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 was James J. Corrigan’s job as a fire safety coordinator for the complex — and his calling as a retired Fire Department captain, his family said. He was killed working alongside his former colleagues.

He belongs with them on the 9/11 memorial, a judge said Monday, overruling objections from memorial organizers and the Fire Department.

Corrigan’s family — including two sons who joined the FDNY after their father’s death — say he acted as a firefighter that day and deserved recognition for it on the memorial. “We just felt that this was where he belonged,� said his widow, Marie.

Fire Department and memorial officials said they were reviewing the decision.

It follows years of debate over how to arrange the names of the dead on the memorial, set to open next year.

Corrigan, 60, was a firefighter for 25 years before retiring in 1994. He moved on to a private-sector job at the trade center.

On Sept. 11, 2001, he led about 20 children to safety from a day care center and then went back into the complex to help firefighters. He was killed when the south tower collapsed as he helped firefighters set up a communications center.

Jury finds south Texas man guilty of beheading three children EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A South Texas man accused of beheading his common-law wife’s three children was found guilty of capital murder Monday at his second trial.

A state appeals court had overturned John Allen Rubio’s previous conviction and death sentence in 2007, saying the children’s mother had wrongly been allowed to testify. A second jury deliberated for about three hours before convicting him again.

Rubio, 29, of Brownsville, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and his defense attorneys had argued that the sheer brutality of the crime showed he was not in his right mind. Defense attorney Nat Perez described it during his closing argument as “overkill.�

Evidence showed Rubio made increasingly ferocious attempts to kill the children, strangling and stabbing them, then finally cutting off

their heads. Rubio initially said he killed the children, all under age 4, because they were possessed.

Police discovered the bodies of 3-year-old Julissa Quesada, 14-month-old John E. Rubio and 2-month-old Mary Jane Rubio on March 11, 2003, in a squalid Brownsville apartment.

Rubio was convicted on four counts of capital murder. Each death was covered by one count, and the fourth count included all of them.

The trial will now move to a punishment phase, in which prosecutors plan to again seek the death penalty.

During closing arguments given before a packed courtroom earlier Monday, both sides showed enlarged photographs of the children from happier times. Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos got the last word and accentuated it by showing a photograph of a headless child and making a

chopping motion on the floor with a cleaver. “This kind of crime tears at the fiber of who we are here in the Valley,� Villalobos said.

Testimony showed Rubio had nailed the backdoor of the windowless apartment shut. Prosecutors said it foretold of the killings to come, while the defense claimed it was meant to keep demons out. “These babies were not demons, they were angels,� prosecutor Charles Mattingly said.

Defense attorney Ed Stapleton reminded jurors of Rubio’s childhood — his mother’s prenatal drinking, his stepfather’s abuse, his experience as a teen prostitute.

The defense team’s psychiatrists found Rubio suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. “(Rubio) was insane from early on,� Stapleton said. A prosecution expert rebutted that diagnosis Friday.

Drug traces in mother, son in NYC fire NEW YORK (AP) — A single mother and her teenage son apparently ingested some type of drug before dying in a suspected murder-suicide and arson that claimed the lives of three other children in their New York City apartment, two law enforcement officials said Monday.

Pills were found in the stomachs of Leisa Jones and the teen — both considered suspects in the gruesome deaths — during autopsies last week, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because further tests on their causes of death were pending.

The preliminary findings deepened the mystery surrounding a case that was briefly believed to be an accidental fire before becoming a homicide investigation.

The New York Police Department said in a statement Monday that there still was “no final determination as to who was responsible.�

Firefighters responding early Thursday at the family’s Staten Island home found the charred bodies of Jones and two daughters, ages 7 and 10, in a front room, and that of her 14-year-old son, C.J., slumped over a bed in a back bedroom.

A 2-year-old son pulled out alive died later at the hospital of smoke inhalation.

Later that day, police said the throats of the two girls and C.J. had been slashed. They also said a razor had been found un-

Since then, police have determined that a badly damaged, fragmented note with the words “am sorry� that was found in an another room was written by Jones. The significance of the note was unclear, but that discovery — combined with the initial drug evidence — has led to suspicions she may have killed her children.

A document search turned up three legal filings connected to Jones.

In New York, she was named as the debtor in a filing

in civil court. The filing date was in February, and the amount was for $6,580.

In Washington, D.C., she was listed as the debtor in landlord/tenant dispute that was filed in November 2008.

She was also named as the debtor in a July 2000 filing in which the creditor was the nowclosed D.C. General Hospital.

The amount was $2,355.83.

Jones’ mother, Marcia Anderson, declined to comment Monday when contacted by the Associated Press.

Anderson told The New York Times, “My grandson is not a killer and my daughter is not a killer. She could never harm her babies.�

Garza reverses Rays’ fortune

tampa Bay pitcher Matt Garza, right, is congratulated by manager Joe Maddon after Monday’s game.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Rays finally wound Rays 5 up on the right side of a Tigers 0 memorable pitching performance.

Matt Garza threw the first no-hitter in franchise history and the fifth in the major leagues this season, beating the Detroit Tigers 5-0 on Monday night.

“We needed one. I don’t care who it came from. We just needed one for our own confidence,” Garza said, mindful that the Rays have been held hitless four times

NASCAR toughens stance

in their 13-season history — three times in the past year. “The guys are just as excited as I am. It’s fun.”

The 26-year-old right-hander faced the minimum 27 batters in his 106th career start, allowing only a second-inning walk to Brennan Boesch, for a team that’s often been on the wrong end of pitching gems lately.

Two of the no-hitters tossed against the Rays since July 2009 were perfect games.

They didn’t manage a hit Monday off starter Max Scherzer until Matt Joyce’s sixth-inning grand slam.

“It was one of those days where everything lined up,” Garza said. “The defense

made great plays. I really can’t say enough about them.”

Garza (11-5) was the latest to shine in the Year of the Pitcher. The last time there were at least five no-hitters in a season was 1991, when Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan threw one of seven in the big leagues that year, according to STATS LLC. It’s only the third time in major league history that a team has been involved in three no-hitters during one season. The 1917 St. Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox were involved in three — all against each other.

CHARLOTTE — Concerns about a half-empty race track dogged NASCAR long before Sunday’s race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the sanctioning body’s top officials didn’t want to discuss attendance or any other ailments plaguing the nation’s No. 1 racing series.

The conversation was instead steered to all the things NASCAR is doing right, a theme that became evident before the season started, when competitors spread a message of hope and unity.

Turns out that the racing series was serious about keeping everybody on point.

The Associated Press has learned that NASCAR warned teams during the offseason that public criticism of the sport would no longer be tolerated, and at least two star drivers have been fined — one as much as $50,000 — for comments that were deemed destructive to the industry.

NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston confirmed some action had been taken, but he would not discuss details.

“It is the sanctioning body’s obligation on behalf of the industry and our fans to protect the sport’s brand,” Poston said. “Any action taken by NASCAR has nothing to do with the drivers expressing an opinion — it’s focused on actions or comments that materially damage the sport. We have specifically discussed this in meetings with teams, drivers and stakeholders.”

The policy shouldn’t come as any surprise considering NASCAR’s heightened effort this year to re-ignite interest in a sport that’s been fighting sagging attendance, declining television ratings and overall fan apathy for several seasons.

NASCAR has taken several aggressive steps toward improving the on-track product, but its top brass decided that outstanding events aren’t enough to overcome the negative perception created every time a driver publicly blasts the series.

“It doesn’t make sense to criticize the food in a restaurant if you expect people to come back,” has been chairman Brian France’s seasonlong mantra, and it became clear very quickly that he’d personally delivered that message in a series of offseason meetings with every Sprint Cup Series team.

On one hand, a decision to police the series makes sense: At a time when nearly every move made is designed to help the sport rebound, this is the most effective way of protecting the brand.

But it’s also a slippery slope.

NASCAR fans often choose their favorite drivers based on personality and competitive fire. From the “boys, have at it” policy to encouraging drivers to cut back sponsor plugs in favor of raw emotion, now asking them to bite their tongue is a mixed message.

reminded reporters that the players couldn’t comment on the specifics of the inquiry. The questions came anyway — though Yates didn’t sound surprised considering how many questions he said he gets from friends and fans.

“It’s kind of annoying a little bit because this team and our fans should be worried about football — and strictly football — and how this team is getting prepared for this season,” Yates said.

GREENSBORO — K.P. Parks graduated from West Rowan on the second Friday in June. He enrolled at Virginia three days later.

He’s remained busy while awaiting the first official football practice, which will be held Aug. 6.

“I lost 12 pounds in a week when I got up here,” Parks said. PARKS “I’m feeling pretty good about my health and how my body’s looking. I think that’s going to help me a whole lot just getting in better shape.

“As far as fitting in, I feel like I fit in well with the guys.”

Parks, a 5-foot-8 running back, said Virginia’s coaching staff wanted him to lose five pounds. He dropped from 202 to 190 during his first week in Charlottesville, Va., and is currently at 195.

Taking part in the second session of summer school, he said he made an A-minus in a class about music and computers.

“He hasn’t taken a snap or anything, but he looks good walking around, and LONDON he got an A in his summer school class,” first-year head coach Mike London said Monday afternoon at the ACC’s preseason media event in Greensboro.

London happily reported that 336-pound offensive lineman Morgan Moses, a four-star prospect who played last season at Fork Union Military Academy, made a B in one of his summer classes at Virginia.

“I’m excited to see how the next summer school session is going to pan out for both of those young men,” London said.

“Their success is going to spawn success for other people.”

Davis: UNC awaiting results Associated Press

GREENSBORO — North Carolina coach Butch Davis says all the Tar Heels can do is wait for the results of an NCAA investigation into their football program.

Davis provided only limited answers Monday to questions about the inquiry at the ACC preseason media day, saying it was best for the school not to make many comments.

The NCAA is looking into whether

senior defensive tackle Marvin Austin and senior receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents.

Davis says players who met with investigators on campus in Chapel Hill earlier this month were given only one instruction: tell the truth.

Davis says it was the only “smart, rational instructions you could tell anybody: Just tell the truth.”

Voters pick Virginia Tech, FSU to meet in title game Associated Press

GREENSBORO — Virginia Tech is the preseason favorite to win the ACC. The Hokies earned 50 of a possible 98 votes from media members attending the league’s two-day preseason media event. Florida State was the

runaway choice in the league’s Atlantic Division and was second to the Hokies with 26 total votes.

The Hokies were chosen to win the Coastal Division, followed by Miami, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Duke and Virginia.

Following the Seminoles in the At-

lantic Division were Clemson, Boston College, N.C. State, Wake Forest and Maryland.

The division winners meet Dec. 4 in Charlotte in the league title game.

Five voters picked North Carolina to reach that game, with two predicting that the Tar Heels will claim the ACC

championship.

FSU quarterback Christian Ponder was picked preseason player of the year. N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson and North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn tied for fourth in voting for that honor. UNC linebacker Bruce Carter received one vote.

Hosch leads Rampage to 2-0 start From staff reports

The Rowan Rampage beat the Virginia Storm 22-6 in Central Carolina League Football action on Saturday at East Spencer’s Dunbar Center in front of 250 fans.

Willie Hosch rushed 34 times for 176 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Rampage.

“Willie had an amazing game, no other way to put it,” owner/player Scott Roby said.

“He was our offense today. He brought the crowd to its feet on a regular basis. If he stays healthy and humble, he’ll do great things this season.”

The Rampage (2-0) settled for a 6-0 lead at halftime against the visitors from Martinsville but put together a time-consuming, 16play drive in the third quarter to score its second touchdown. Fullback Tim Simms got the TD, and Hosch’s run for a two-point conversion made it 14-0.

The Storm used a TD pass to cut the Rampage’s lead to 14-6 midway through the fourth quarter.

The Rampage relied on a stout defense and the running of Hosch to put the game away. Hosch scored his second TD from the 14-yard line with under a minute to play, and QB Michael Hunter ran for a two-point conversion.

Roby praised the offensive line and a run-stopping defense, but said the Rampage must get more consistent in the passing

game to be among the league’s elite teams.

“Our run game is outstanding, but we have to have some level of passing efficiency to keep it going,” Roby said.

The Rampage is home against the Carolina Chargers (RaleighDurham) on Saturday.

Phillies finish sweep; Mauer erupts Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Brad Lidge escaped another basesloaded jam in the ninth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies held off the Colorado Rockies 5-4 Monday to complete a four-game sweep.

Backup catcher Brian Schneider’s two-run triple sent the Phillies toward their fifth straight win. The two-time NL champions, still minus injured All-Star second baseman Chase Utley, pulled within 41⁄2 games of idle East-leading Atlanta.

Seth Smith hit a two-out, tworun homer off Lidge in the ninth and Colorado went on to load the bases, but Ryan Spilborghs hit a tapper to the left side of the plate.

Lidge came in and made a strong throw to first base for the final out, getting his 10th save in 13 chances.

Joe Blanton (4-6) won for the first time since beating Cleveland on June 24.

Brewers 3, Reds 2 MILWAUKEE — Pinch-hitter Jim Edmonds homered with two outs in the eighth after just missing a go-ahead shot on the previous pitch and Milwaukee rallied to beat Cincinnati.

Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer in the third inning as Milwaukee won its fifth straight to match a season-best streak after trailing 2-0 early.

Edmonds has been unable to play the field since his right Achilles’ tendon tightened Saturday night, but he didn’t need to run hard after his at-bat against Bronson Arroyo (10-6) in the eighth.

Edmonds hit a big blast off a fastball, dropping the bat only to watch his shot sail foul. He sent the next pitch over the Reds’ bullpen in right-center field.

GARZA FROM 1B It’s also the first time in 37 years that two no-hitters have occurred in the same AL ballpark in one season. After going 1,006 games without one at Tropicana Field, two have been tossed in the last 11 games at the hitter-friendly dome.

“The guy obviously made history for Tampa, congratulations to him,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said, adding that Garza dominated the Tigers with “high fastball after high fastball.”

Garza, the 2008 AL championship series MVP, rebounded from one of his worst outings this season to win his fourth straight decision and tie a career best for victories. He retired pinch-hitter Ramon Santiago for the final out on an easy fly ball to right fielder Ben Zobrist, who made a terrific running catch in the third to rob Danny Worth.

“That ninth inning,” Garza said, “I kept telling myself, ‘Just finish it, just finish it, just battle, battle. If it’s meant to happen, it’s going to happen.’ ”

Cubs 5, Astros 2 HOUSTON — Geovany Soto drove in two runs and Alfonso Soriano had two doubles for the Cubs.

Cubs starter Carlos Silva yielded five hits and one run with four strikeouts to get his 10th win of the season after two straight losses. Carlos Marmol allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning for his 19th save in 23 opportunities.

Soto bruised his left foot and left the game in the middle of the sixth inning after fouling a pitch off of it earlier in the inning.

American League Twins 19, Royals 1 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Joe Mauer had five hits and a careerbest seven RBIs and Danny Valencia went 4-for-4 with a grand slam for his first major league home run.

Mauer, the 2009 American League MVP, was 5-for-5 with three singles, a double and a three-run home run that made it 17-0 in the seventh. The five hits tied his career best as the Twins set a season-high in runs and tied their season-best with 20 hits. The crowd booed in the eighth when Drew Butera pinch hit for Mauer.

Wilson Betemit’s RBI double off Anthony Slama with two out in the ninth prevented the Royals from suffering their worst shutout loss ever.

White Sox 6, Mariners 1 CHICAGO — John Danks pitched eight solid innings to win his fourth consecutive start, helping the White Sox beat Felix Hernandez.

Juan Pierre and Alexei Ramirez each had three hits for the White Sox, who kicked off a seven-game homestand with their season-high eighth consec-

utive victory at U.S. Cellular Field.

It’s their longest home winning streak since a nine-game surge in 2008.

Danks (11-7) allowed a run and six hits, improving to 7-2 with a 2.83 ERA in his last nine outings.

The left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA in three starts against Seattle this season.

Hernandez (7-7) ran his scoreless streak against the White Sox to 252⁄3 innings before Pierre and Omar Vizquel hit consecutive RBI singles with two out in the third, giving Chicago a 2-1 lead.

Yankees 3, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — Curtis Granderson hit a two-run shot and Alex Rodriguez missed out on his 600th homer as the Yankees beat the Indians.

Granderson connected with one out off Jake Westbrook (6-7), who held Rodriguez hitless in three at-bats and was clinging to a 2-1 lead. Jorge Posada reached on a one-out single before Granderson delighted the many Yankees fans in the crowd of 27,224 hoping to see homer history.

Rodriguez popped out to first against reliever Chris Perez in the ninth to finish an 0 for 4 night.

Shin-Soo Choo put Cleveland ahead 2-1 in the sixth with an RBI double off Javier Vasquez (9-7).

Travis Hafner hit a solo homer in the second. It was the designated hitter’s fifth straight hit.

Blue Jays 9, Orioles 5 TORONTO — Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 28th home run, Aaron Hill and Adam Lind also connected and Toronto beat Baltimore for the 10th straight time.

Hill hit a two-run homer in the fourth, and the Blue Jays smacked two more in the fifth.

Garza’s teammates mobbed him near the mound after a performance that left the New York Mets and San Diego Padres as the only big league teams without a no-hitter. The Rays began play in 1998 — the Padres in 1969 and the Mets in ’62.

The closest Detroit’s injurydepleted lineup came to a hit was Worth’s two-out liner, but Zobrist made a leaping grab above his head as he ran toward the wall.

“I was able to time it just right for my jump. Caught it right in the end of my glove,” Zobrist said, smiling. “He pitched so great. It’s his day. I felt honored to be part of a game like that.”

Tigers cleanup hitter Miguel Cabrera, who’s batting .347 with 24 homers and 88 RBIs, hit a hard liner to left leading off the eighth.

Carl Crawford barely had to move to make the play.

The Tigers were no-hit for the first time since Randy Johnson shut them down at Seattle on June 2, 1990.

After Boesch walked, he was erased on a double play.

Garza said his teammates didn’t leave him off by himself in the dugout during the late innings.

He noticed several of them stand-

ing in the same spot, however, adhering to superstition.

“I recognized it and didn’t want to look up. I was like, ‘Just keep looking down and stay focused and get ready for the next inning,’ ” he said.

Garza struck out six in Tampa Bay’s 2,039th game — and on a night when the Rays struggled to generate offense themselves.

Joyce’s slam on a 3-2 pitch with two outs in the sixth was the first hit off Scherzer (7-8). The next batter, Jason Bartlett, singled for the only other hit of the night until Crawford homered in the eighth.

“I wanted to keep challenging.

I didn’t want to walk him in that situation,” Scherzer said. “I grooved it, and he hit it.”

Garza, who tossed a one-hitter at Florida on June 26, 2008, retired Don Kelly on a routine grounder to second base in the ninth and struck out Gerald Laird before getting Santiago to end it on his 120th pitch before a crowd of 17,009.

In addition to the five no-hitters thrown this season was the perfect game Detroit right-hander Armando Galarraga was denied because of a missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce.

Paul has positive meeting

Bible back in mix

Associated Press

Associated Press

GREENSBORO — N.C. State offensive coordinator Dana Bible worked with the Wolfpack through spring drills even as he still recovers from treatment for leukemia.

Head coach Tom O’Brien said it’s important for BIBLE Bible to pace himself as he works with the team through training camp’s August heat.

“He’s got to understand there are going to be times when he’s going to feel good and he’ll be able to do things out there and there are times when he can’t,” O’Brien said. “But he gets stronger each and every day, so it’s a process for him.

So I have to trust him to help us make the right decisions on how he’s going to get through preseason camp.” 

INJURY UPDATE: O’Brien said N.C. State cornerback Rashard Smith would miss the season after undergoing knee surgery to correct an injury originally suffered in a loss at Boston College, though the injury didn’t surface until after spring drills.

O’Brien compared the injury to the cartilage trouble that plagued now-departed running back Toney Baker. 

EXTRA POINTS: UNC coach Butch Davis said he hasn’t decided the punishment for linebacker Quan Sturdivant following his recent citation for marijuana possession. ...

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson is looking forward to working with a former rival in ex-Virginia coach Al Groh, now the Yellow Jackets’ defensive coordinator. “His idea of a vacation was going up and spending 2-3 days with (New England Patriots) Coach (Bill) Belichick watching film,” Johnson said.

SAN ANTONIO — Dallas receiver Roy Williams can’t even get his 4-year-old son to carry his shoulder pads.

“Man, I can’t get anybody to carry them,” Williams joked. “I’m mad at him too.”

A day after the drama created when first-round pick Dez Bryant refused to carry the veteran’s pads off the field after practice, a longstanding rookie ritual, Williams said it was “not a big deal” and that the teammates were fine with each other.

NEW ORLEANS — Chris Paul is staying put with the New Orleans Hornets — at least for now.

The Hornets’ star guard did not request a trade Monday in his meeting with new coach Monty Williams and top team officials, general manager Dell Demps said.

Demps, essentially in his first day on the job since his hiring last week, added that he was confident Paul would still be with New Orleans when the coming season opens.

PAUL Although Paul did not speak with the media, the team released statement from him.

“The meeting went well. It was great to get an opportunity to sit down with coach Williams, president Weber and our new general manager, Dell Demps,” the statement said. “I expressed my desire to win and I like what they said about the direction that they want to take the team.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Appalachian State was a near-unanimous choice of the Southern Conference coaches to win the league’s 2010 football championship.

Appalachian received first-place votes from 7 of 9 coaches in the conference’s preseason poll. Coaches are not permitted to vote for their own teams. Elon received the other two first-place votes.

All seven of those players earned firstteam preseason all-conference accolades from the SoCon coaches earlier in the day.

ASU had a league-high 13 representatives on the SoCon’s preseason all-conference squads. Samford landed the second-most players with seven.

Virginia will enter the 2010 season without its top four rushers from a spread offense that averaged only 99.1 yards per game on the ground last year, Al Groh’s final one as the Cavaliers’ head coach.

London, who likes to use tight ends and fullbacks, discussed his tailbacks Monday and mentioned Parks after naming five others who aren’t new to the program: redshirt WALLACE freshman Dominique Wallace, senior Keith Payne, sophomore Torrey Mack, sophomore Perry Jones and senior Raynard Horne.

Wallace missed spring practice as he recovered from foot surgery, and Payne is currently in what London called his “academic doghouse.” The coach also cited academic issues as a reason for withholding praise of Horne.

London said Mack, the top returning rusher with 73 yards in nine games last season, is talented but still learning “life lessons.” The 5-8 Jones, like Parks, is strong and shifty.

Parks rushed for 10,895 yards and scored 158 touchdowns during his high school career.

“It’ll be interesting to see who is going to step up and emerge as the guy,” London said. “No one has really established themself as the guy, but there are a list of names that any one of them could.”

Seventeen players signed with Virginia in early February, and London said determining who should redshirt will be a priority once practice begins.

“If we put somebody out there, we want to make sure they’re going to play a significant amount of reps,” London said. “I can’t speak to the situation last year, but there were about 14 of them that played that probably didn’t play more than five or six reps per game. That’s a year of eligibility and a year of development.

“If there’s a skilled high school young man that’s coming in now, that’s at our place, that can contribute better than the development of that second-year player, we’ll have to take a look at it.”

London said he’d put strength coach Brandon Hourigan and director of academic affairs Adrien Harraway in charge of helping develop the true freshmen who redshirt.

In his first six weeks at Virginia, Parks has shown a willingness to work at being a good student and improving as an athlete.

“Just trying to get off on the right foot, trying to start good,” Parks said. “In college you have to learn how to manage your time to do your work.”

NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE SALE North Carolina, Rowan County - 09 SP 496 Under and by virtue of a Power of Sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust executed by Allan J Gooden aka Allam J Gooden to PRLAP, Inc., Trustee(s), which was dated April 29, 2004 and recorded on April 30, 2004 in Book 1006 at Page 471, Rowan County Registry, North Carolina. Default having been made in the payment of the note thereby secured by the said Deed of Trust and the undersigned, Brock & Scott, PLLC, having been substituted as Trustee in said Deed of Trust, and the holder of the note evidencing said indebtedness having directed that the Deed of Trust be foreclosed, the undersigned Substitute Trustee will offer for sale at the courthouse door of the county courthouse where the property is located, or the usual and customary location at the county courthouse for conducting the sale on August 5, 2010 at 10:00AM, and will sell to the highest bidder for cash the following described property situated in Rowan County, North Carolina, to wit: Being all of Lot No. 50 as shown on map of Parkview Heights, recorded in Book of Maps at Page 571-A and 571-B, Rowan County Registry.

Save and except any releases, deeds of release or prior conveyances of record.

Said property is commonly known as 217 Hillcrest Place, Salisbury, NC 28144.

Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax, and the court costs of Forty-Five Cents (45) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) pursuant to NCGS 7A-308(a)(1). A cash deposit (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale. Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing. Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance "AS IS WHERE IS." There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property being offered for sale. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Allan J. Gooden. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.

Substitute Trustee Brock & Scott, PLLC Jeremy B. Wilkins, NCSB No. 32346, 5431 Oleander Drive Suite 200 Wilmington, NC 28403 PHONE: (910) 392-4988 FAX: (910) 392-8587 File No. 09-12253-FC01, 725833 7/27, 08/03/2010

Tuesday, July 27 Many of the wonderful, nonmaterial things in life are likely to offer you great pleasure in the year ahead. It is likely you’ll have many good times and fortunate episodes when with good friends.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Once you make up your mind about something important, you shouldn’t find a need to alter or adjust your decision if you’ve used good judgment. What you've reasoned out should work.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — The fruits of your labor will be good, if after planting your crops, you’ve given them the tender care they needed. Life will give back in proportion to what you put into it at this point in time.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — It’s likely to be one of those times when an unstructured gathering could turn out to be a lot of fun. Sometimes when we expect the least is when we get the most.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — The solution isn’t likely to come easily, but if everyone is willing to play the role of a peacemaker, the dissension that was created within the household will quickly resolve itself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Don’t hesitate to get something off your chest when an appropriate opening occurs, especially if it’s an issue that you’ve been reluctant to thrash out. You’ll never get a better opportunity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — This could be a better-than-average day to go shopping for all those essential items you need. Check out all the sources and you should easily find what you want at the right price.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Adopt a no-nonsense position if there is something critical you need to work out with others. When those with whom you’re dealing see that you’re serious, they’ll get down to business as well.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — The only way you are likely to have an old obligation repaid is to give the debtor a reminder, so don’t stand on ceremony. If you do so immediately, chances are you’ll get at least a partial payment.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — If a friend who has done many things for you in the past asks for a favor, you won’t hesitate for one minute to come through for him/her. In fact, you’ll welcome the opportunity.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — The reason you’ll do so well in a competitive situation is because you’ll put out only what you have to and hold back whatever you can in order to give your all at the finish.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Although conditions look hopeful when it comes to something you desire, you’re smart enough to know you still have to apply whatever practical measures are necessary to make your dream a reality.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Even if the returns are still not what you expected from an endeavor in which you’re involved, hang in there. Given enough time, there is an excellent chance they will become more ample.

Can a CA-125 detect ovarian cancer? When they pre-empt, assume six points

BY PHILLIP ALDER

Dear Reader: CA-125 is a protein found more often in ovarian-cancer cells than in other cells, and because it enters the bloodstream, it can be measured by a blood test. The rate at which CA125 levels increase is a more accurate method of detecting ovarian cancer than is single testing for the same purpose. Therefore, when comparing figures, it is important to be assured that the test used in each case is the same generation, same manufacturer and same type of assay.

A CA-125 provides a true positive result in about 50 percent of all stage I ovarian-cancer patients. A single test is not to be used for early detection; however, it has an 80 percent chance of returning positive results

from stage II, III and IV ovarian-cancer patients.

There are a number of disorders that can cause false-positive results. They include pelvic inflammatory disease, benign ovarian cysts, endometriosis and first-trimester pregnancy.

Beyond these diagnoses, almost 60 percent of people with pancreatic cancer, 70 percent of those with cirrhosis and up to 25 percent of people with other malignancies will have elevated CA-125 levels. There is a lower specificity in premenopausal women than in those who are postmenopausal.

Therefore, a CA-125 test alone is not recommended for detection but should be done serially for more accurate results. It should also be used in conjunction with a rectovaginal pelvic examination and transvaginal sonography.

To further complicate things, other tumor antigens, such as CA 15-3, CA 19-9, OVX1 and M-CSF, exist; however, only the OVX1 appears to hold diagnostic potential. There is also a tumor-marker test that measures levels of plasma lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) being developed. So stay tuned.

To provide some related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Vaginal Infections and Disorders.” 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: I am allergic to freshwater and saltwater fish (the oil, I believe). I am wondering if I would be able to take codliver oil in capsule form.

Dear Reader: Cod-liver oil can cause GI upset, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash and a number of other unwanted symptoms in anyone. Because you are allergic to fish, you should avoid fish-oil supplements.

I suggest you speak with your physician regarding the possibility of taking flaxseed, grape seed or eating more green, leafy vegetables and nuts such as sunflowers or walnuts as a replacement for cod-liver oil. I must defer to your primary-care physician, who knows your medical history and can guide you better than I. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Today’s deal highlights an important bidding principle and a useful defensive play.

When you have a good hand and an opponent pre-empts, assume your partner has six or seven high-card points. (If partner has fewer points than that, get a new partner — one who holds better cards!) In this deal, North opens one diamond after two passes, East makes a three-club weak jump overcall, South passes, West passes, North reopens the auction with a takeout double, and East passes.

What should South do?

South has two choices: pass or bid three spades.

He has a soft hand with one club trick, so might

go for the penalty, which would be 100 or 300, depending on how East plays the hearts. But with a five-card spade suit, he could reason-

ably bid that suit. Then North, assuming his partner has six or seven points, raises to four spades.

West leads the club three.

How should East plan the defense after winning with his club ace?

East should see that his side needs three heart tricks. And here the only shift guaranteed to defeat the contract is the heart jack. If South covers with his queen, West wins with the ace and returns a heart, East collecting two tricks with the K-9 hovering over dummy’s 10-8. Alternatively, if South ducks, East holds the trick, and the ace and king will be cashed.

The key to this surrounding play is that East has the highest heart on his right surrounded (here, dummy’s 10), plus he has another, higher, nontouching honor (here, the king).

Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to get more information about the blood test CA-125 for ovarian cancer. Articles and doctors here in Topeka, Kan., insist there is no test for ovarian cancer.

However, I’ve read about it and have talked to people who have had this test.

Topeka is now having a DR. PETER Whisper Walk GOTT and awareness for ovarian cancer such as we’ve had for breast cancer, but the people putting it on still say there is no such test.
