Governor calls for restructuring, better image

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Though the N.C. Highway Patrol’s image has been tarnished by high-profile incidents involving troopers’ inappropriate conduct, current and former members of the patrol in Rowan County say don’t judge the whole organization by the transgressions of a few.

Those transgressions have made headlines, and one was close to home.

Former Sgt. Timothy J. White of Salisbury was dismissed from the patrol in June 2009 after an alleged drunken sexual encounter with another trooper’s wife. He has recently taken a job FILe PHOTO BY Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST with the N.C. Lottery.

N.C. State Highway Patrol Code of Conduct All members of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol (NCSHP) must be fully aware of the ethical responsibilities of their position and must strive constantly to live up to the highest standards of professional law enforcement.

Integrity As a Trooper, I will not engage in acts of corruption or bribery, nor condone such acts by other law enforcement officers. I will avoid any conduct that might compromise my integrity and thus undercut the public confidence in the North Carolina State Highway Patrol.

I will refuse to accept any gifts, presents, subscriptions, favors, gratuities or promises that could be interpreted as seeking to cause me to refrain from performing official responsibilities honestly and within the law.

Sixteen taxpayers in Rowan and Cabarrus County together owe nearly $471,000 to the state of North Carolina.

Statewide, unpaid tax debts total $841 million — a 67 percent increase from $505 million owed in March 2009.

Beth Stevenson, a spokeswoman with the N.C. Department of Revenue, said the increase is mostly due to better identification of nonfilers.

“We have better tools in our system to be able to identify those who are not properly filing their taxes,” Stevenson said. “We are able to use federal information now and compare that to state information.”

The total tax debt is greater than the $800 million budget shortfall lawmakers had to balance before passing the $18.9 billion state budget this year.

“We’re working to do as much as we can to collect that revenue for the state,” Stevenson said.

The department plans to collect $221 million in wage garnishments, and it has entered payment agreements with debtors to obtain another $133 million.

About $112 million, though, has been deemed uncollectible — meaning the debtors can’t be found, wage garnishments can’t be applied yet or people simply can’t pay.

Out of half a million taxpayers who owe money to the state, hundreds have been published in a list on the Department of Revenue’s website. Topping the list is former Mebane councilman Bob Hupman, who owes $2.2 million to the state.

In Rowan County, the individual owing the most money is Richard L. Moore, with a debt of more than $88,000 in multiple taxes. The state lists Moore as having an address on Cannon Farm Road in China Grove, but according to county tax records, he hasn’t owned the property since 2006.

Contact information could not be found for any Rowan County taxpayer on the list.

Willie A. Ford, of Primrose Drive in Salisbury, comes in second after Moore in this county, with about $60,500 owed in income taxes to the state.

In Cabarrus County, Timothy W. Phillips, of Concord Farm Road in Concord, owes nearly $79,000 in multiple tax categories.

Landex Inc., of Concord — a company that helped develop the area that is now home to Concord Mills — owes nearly $35,000 in withholding taxes, according to the state.

Other state tax debtors listed in Rowan and Cabarrus counties include: • Douglas E. Hall of Miller Road in Salisbury — $26,600, income

Rain cools Rowan temperatures, causes local flooding Rowan County got relief from extreme heat Tuesday, but the day was bookended by periods of very heavy rain, flooding threats and power outages.

Just two days after a 101degree high made for the hottest day in more than 20 years, the temperature Tuesday climbed only into the high 80s on a day that dawned wet and largely stayed that way.

Storms Monday night spilled over into Tuesday morning and, though they didn’t pack the thunder and lightning of the nighttime weathermakers, they brought plenty of precipitation to parts of the county.

The National Weather Service issued flood advisories Tuesday morning and afternoon for parts of Rowan.

After a heavy morning rain that had drivers along Statesville, Innes and other Salisbury streets plowing through standing water, totals varied across the county.

[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu

L.L. Goodnight and Sons on Saw Road near Enochville recorded about a third of an inch of rain from 8 a.m. Monday through late Tuesday morning.

Bostian Heights Fire Chief Mike Zimmerman recorded a combined .7 of an inch Monday night and Tuesday morning at his house across the road from the fire station.

In western Rowan, the Piedmont Research Station on Sherrills Ford Road also recorded just over .7 inches Monday night and Tuesday morning, but an employee there measured 2 inches at his home in nearby Woodleaf.

Zimmerman said his department hadn’t responded to any weather-related calls by late Tuesday morning, but the storms caused damage elsewhere as the day progressed.

A downed power line caught a tree on fire at U.S. 52 near East Rowan High School around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Later in the day — as heavy rains returned and the Weather Service warned of local streams flooding — firefighters reported a partial roof collapse at an unoccupied building on Airport Road.

And Frank and Dellene Gudger called to say the creek running behind the Hidden Creek subdivision off Jake Alexander Boulevard had escaped its banks, flooding their yard.

“It’s flooded three or four times in the past two years ... but this is the worst it’s ever been,” Dellene said.

She said Hidden Creek, which runs along the edge of her backyard and those of her neighbors, is partially blocked downstream with debris including tree limbs and logs. When heavy rains occur, the water is diverted and pours into the yard.

FRoM 1A gomery, Davie, Forsyth, Stokes, Surry, Yadkin and Cabarrus counties.

There are 27 troopers assigned to Rowan County.

Brewer asked that the public not judge the mistakes of a few as the conduct of the entire organization. “There are troopers out there who do a great job,� he said.

Capt. Patricia Poole, head of the troop that includes Rowan, echoed Brewer. “I hope the citizens still know we are out there doing our job every single day,� she said.

There are troopers who put their lives on the line every day, she said.

And they serve the public in other ways, such as helping stranded motorists. One trooper gave a woman gas money when she was stranded at a truck stop.

Another trooper, who was off duty, helped search for an infant who’d drowned in nearby Davidson County, Poole said.

These are the things troopers do when going above and beyond the call of duty, she said.

And Poole said troopers “take it personally when a member decides to disgrace the uniform. They are disrespecting the people they are serving.�

The troopers who don’t take part in misconduct are “proud to serve the citizens� and do not “condone that behavior,� she said.

Trooper Tommie Cato, who has served in this area for 18 years, shares Poole’s sentiments. “I know we as a patrol have had members who are worthy of the front page news across our state. I also know the work of our local troopers — from coaching Little League to building handicapped ramps, these men and women are about service to others,� Cato said.

Service to others is part of their

character, he said. And though their jobs don’t come with high pay, careers in law enforcement, as with other emergency services, social work and similar paths, “with the right attitude are extremely self rewarding,� he said.

Purdue says one of her top priorities is that all troopers must complete ethics training and sign a code of conduct. If that code is broken, a trooper will be fired.

The previous rules of conduct were in general terms, while the new code of conduct deals in specifics. For example, the old set of rules says the trooper shall not betray public trust by accepting gratuities or favors. The new code details types of things troopers cannot accept, which includes: “any gifts, presents, subscriptions, favors, gratuities or promises� that could keep the trooper from performing his or her responsibilities.

The old policy manual states troopers are to administer the law in a “just, impartial and reasonable manner,� while the updated code states that as a trooper, “I will perform all duties impartially, without favor or affection or ill will and without regard to status, sex, race, religion, political belief or aspiration.�

As for troopers’ behavior off duty, the old code simply says they are to conduct themselves so that the “public will regard them as examples of stability, fidelity and morality.� The new guidelines say a trooper’s character and conduct while off duty will “always be exemplary, thus maintaining a position of respect in the community in which I live and serve. My personal behavior will be beyond reproach.�

Former Trooper Glenn Hester said the code of conduct was never anything that couldn’t be adhered to. “It’s always been very strict, always enforced and never overlooked,� Hester said.

He admits “things� have been go-

North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper T.D. Gray talks with a motorist that was ticketed for speeding on I-85. ing on since “the beginning of time.� “It’s pretty obvious it’s not something new — the violations,� Hester said.

Although Hester didn’t use a cell phone when he was working with the patrol, he does see the need for guidelines for cell phone use while on duty.

Troopers will be required to turn over cell phone bills.

Brewer said the details are still being ironed out. “We are not looking at who’s talking to who, but we want to determine the amount of time being spent on the cell phone during duty,� he said.

Brewer said the patrol wants to ensure that maximum time is spent on duty and running service calls.

Asked if he thinks Perdue should

mandate that the patrol hire its next leader externally, Hester said that would not work. “I think it should be internal because there’s so many different areas and functions that a person should have knowledge, from the basic academy to commanding an office,� Hester said.

He estimates about 95 percent of those in patrol have experience in every facet of the job. “In my opinion, she (Perdue) is sort of saying, maybe there’s nobody qualified internally,� Hester said.

That decision may not be made until the General Assembly meets in January.

DSS grants New offices planned in Kannapolis benefits extension

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

In a rare hearing Tuesday, the Rowan County Social Services board granted an extension of sorts to a client who receives Work First benefits.

“We have not had a request for an extension in several years,” Social Services Director Sandra Wilkes said.

Work First is a service offered to help parents become employed and self-sufficient. It’s a diversion program designed to keep families off welfare or public assistance. The program includes requirements for job searches, job placement or training. Families are eligible for cash assistance, based on family size, but must show they’ve worked or sought employment before receiving a check.

Families can receive Work Other DSS First for three years separated, business, 5A by a two-year break. The maximum allowable time to receive benefits is 60 months or five years.

Wilkes said she suspects there will be more requests until the economy turns around.

The closed hearing, which was held during a Tuesday Social Services meeting, lasted about 15-20 minutes with all discussion and circumstances surrounding it confidential. This client’s circumstances were typical of other Work First clients, Wilkes said later.

Wilkes could only say that many clients have complied, but are still unable to find employment.

“It’s not unusual that a client may do everything required, but not have been offered a job,” she said.

The board extended the client’s benefits by six months, which is the maximum allowed, according to policy.

The client does not exactly get extra days, Wilkes explained.

Essentially, the client is borrowing against the 60- month or five-year maximum.

There is not a limit on the number of extensions a family can be granted, but those extensions cannot exceed 60 months, the policy said.

Intruder stabbed in home invasion

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — Police are investigating a stabbing that occurred at a Walnut Street home during a reported attempted break-in.

China Grove Police received a call Friday at 7:30 p.m. to 16 Walnut St. for an attempted breaking and entering. Upon arrival, they discovered the intruder, identified as Brian Keith Jenkins, 35, had been stabbed six times in the torso area.

“It appears he may have attempted to gain entry into the residence,” Chief Eddie Kluttz said.

Police believe they have identified the person who stabbed Jenkins. No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.

This is the same home officers raided in May when a search turned up dozens of guns, drugs and stolen goods. The homeowner, Jimmy Brown, remains in the county jail under $1.5 million bond, charged with trafficking heroin, maintaining a dwelling for controlled substances and possession of stolen goods.

Detective D.P. Walther said Jenkins was seriously injured and taken to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast for treatment. He has since been released.

Jenkins does not live at 16 Walnut St. but knows people who do live there. Police say they don’t know why Jenkins was attempting to break into the home.

There were people in the home at the time of the incident, Walther said. Some live at the residence and others were visiting.

Walther said law enforcement has been to that house as recently as a week ago.

According to emergency communications, there have been 36 emergency calls to that address since 2008.

Rowan County Communications Director Rob Robinson said the most recent calls to the home include a domestic incident June 12, prowler and trespassing calls reported in early June and an assault and disturbance call in April.

Kluttz said investigators will confer with the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office to discuss charges.

SubMitted illuStrAtion

Artist’s rendering of one of two office buildings local investors have proposed for South Main Street in Kannapolis.

B Y E MILY F ORD eford@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS — A group of investors plans to build a pair of $1.5 million, threestory office condominium buildings on South Main Street in Kannapolis.

Nostalgia for an old professional office building that stood downtown until 1989 inspired the project.

“As we dive in head-first into the 21st century with the North Carolina Research Campus, our vision is to bring a little bit of our heritage, a little bit of the old Kannapolis, along with us,” Rick Meeks told the Kannapolis City Council Monday night.

Meeks, a financial planner with Raymond James Financial Services, will occupy the entire second floor of one building.

Richard Flowe will move his business, N-Focus Planning & Design, into the building, and Dr. Mike Morton will relocate his dental practice, Flowe said.

They plan to break ground on the first building this fall and open a year later, Flowe said. They will construct the second building “depending on market conditions,” he said.

The fourth investor in the group, called Pecan, is Steven Bernstein, who opened Trinity Investments in Concord last year.

The new buildings are planned for 313 and 315 S. Main St., across from the police department. Tenants have left the boarding house at 313 S. Main St., which will be demolished.

Developers will give away the house at 315 S. Main St. if someone will move it, Flowe said. He has used the property as an office for four years.

Many Kannapolis businesses and professional offices are located in old houses, which served as boarding homes or singlefamily homes during the reign of Cannon Mills.

“There is nothing like having a closet or bathtub in close proximity to your desk,” Flowe said.

David Murdock, founder of the Research Campus and chairman of Dole Food Co., owned the old professional building, which stood where the Dale Earnhardt tribute statue and park are located now.

Murdock tore down the structure “because it was in very poor condition, and it was not financially feasible to renovate it,”

Lynne Scott Safrit, president of campus developer Castle & Cooke said in an e-mail.

Removal of the granite building “created what I felt was a monumental void,” Flowe said.

Kannapolis needs more general office space, City Manager Mike Legg said. He called the project viable and praised the group’s business plan.

The Research Campus, a life sciences complex in downtown Kannapolis, offers plenty of office space, but it’s “very unique,” Legg said.

He predicted that business people would respond favorably to the project.

“Sometimes nostalgia doesn’t work well with economics, but in this case I think they have the best of both worlds,” Legg said.

Developers have not chosen a final design or contractor, Flowe said.

Both buildings will offer about 5,000 square feet on each floor. The condominiums will be leased or owner-occupied, he said.

Locus Real Estate of Concord will list the property.

Kennedy cites experience, Caskey says he wants the best for RSS students commitment in school race S ARAH C AMPBELL B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Mike Caskey wants his children to have the best education possible. That’s one of the reasons he decided to seek a seat on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education.

“My kids are in school now and I want the best for them,” he said. “I know all parents want what’s best for their kids.”

CASKEY The 37-yearold Enochville resident will face off against Troy Rushing Jr. for the South area seat in November.

Caskey ran for a spot on the board in 2006, but fell to Patty Williams. Williams recently told the Post she will not seek re-election.

Although four years have passed, Caskey said his reasons for wanting to be part of the board remain the same.

“I want to do my part to make sure we have the best school system,” he said. “I think not only is having a good school

system good for the kids, it’s good for the county.”

One of Caskey’s primary concerns is making sure students graduate.

“So many kids end up going to school and dropping out,” he said. “They don’t realize what kind of effect that could have on the rest of their lives.

“Not only is it bad for them, it’s bad for society in general.”

Caskey said one way he plans to help reduce dropout rates is by encouraging parents to take time out to help their children.

“I understand that when you come home from work you’re tired, but you need to sit down with your kids and help them with their school work,” he said. “In the long run, it’s going to pay off for them.”

Funding is the most pressing issue Caskey feels RSS is currently facing.

Jean Kennedy has spent more than half her life educating young people. It’s a passion that has led her to seek a second term on the RowanSalisbury Board of Education.

“My time on the board has, indeed, been an eye-opening experience,” she said.

I have learned a lot over the past four years and would like to use that knowledge to advocate for a rigorous, challenging education that will prepare our children to function effectively in the future.”

The 66-year-old Salisbury resident spent her entire 39year career working in Rowan- Salisbury Schools, serving as an English teacher for the majority of her tenure.

Kennedy said she believes aligning the interests of parents, teachers, administrators, board members and the community is an important

step in improving schools.

“I’ve learned about the importance of a consensus, that one has to be able to listen to and sometimes agree with the viewpoints of others,” she said.

She also believes one of the most important pieces to the puzzle is getting parents involved.

“I know from my experience as a local educator and a parent that we have the potential to KENNEDY be one of the best school systems not only in the state, but in the country,” she said.

CRIME ROUNDUP Neighbor helps police nab three suspects Authorities say a concerned neighbor’s tip helped solve two break-ins Monday afternoon.

Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said a man called the Sheriff’s Office Monday after he saw three men attempting to break open the door of his neighbor’s house on Julian Road.

The neighbor approached the men and asked what they needed. The men left in a gold Cadillac.

Shortly after the Sheriff’s Office issued an alert asking other agencies to be on the lookout for the Cadillac, deputies stopped the car in East Spencer.

Police said the car was loaded with burglary tools as well as money and electronic equipment that appeared to be stolen.

The neighbor who initially reported the attempted break-in identified the three men in the car as those who had tried to break into the house, and authorities took all three into custody.

Sifford said the Sheriff’s Office began contacting other Rowan jurisdictions and found the Salisbury Police Department was investigating a house breakin the Crane Creek subdivision.

The Sheriff’s Office confirmed EVANS the property recovered from the car had been stolen from the Salisbury home, and the three men were charged with that break-in GARCIA as well.

Derrick D a v o n e Evans, 22, of Charlotte; C a r l i t o Caliph Garcia, 18, of Charlotte; and Reginald Petion, 21, of PETION Forest Hills,

N.J., were charged with felony possession of burglary tools, felony attempted breaking and entering and felony breaking, entering and larceny.

The men were jailed under $40,000 bond each.

The Sheriff’s Office and Salisbury Police Department ask anyone with additional information to contact their offices.

Det. Carl Dangerfield can be reached at 704-216-8711, and Lt. Chad Moose can be reached at 704-216-8687.

Teen charged with assault on officer Authorities charged a teenage girl Saturday with assaulting an officer and underage drinking.

Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said Officer Daniel Myers responded to a disturbance at 160 Dixon Drive and found Jessica Barnhardt, 17, of 641 Playground Lane, Salisbury, BARNHARDT covered in dirt, crying, combative and intoxicated.

Sifford said that as Myers tried to help Barnhardt up off of the ground, she attempted to run away and kicked Myers in the shin.

Barnhardt continued to yell obscenities and was arrested, Sifford said.

Barnhardt was charged with being intoxicated and disruptive, consumption of alcohol by someone under the age of 19, and assault on a law enforcement officer. She was placed under a $300 bond.

Man arrested after second robbery at same business EAST SPENCER — A Charlotte man has been arrested in connection with two break-ins at Antique Automotive and Collision in East Spencer after police say he stole a car and tools from the business.

Stocks fall on consumer confidence dip NEW YORK (AP) — News that consumers are more pessimistic put the stock market’s rally on hold.

Stocks fell modestly Tuesday after three days of big gains. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 12 points for its fourth straight advance, but the gain was largely to due a jump in DuPont Co. after the chemical maker reported strong earnings. Broader market indexes fell slightly, and there were more losers than gainers on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Conference Board’s report that its Consumer Confidence Index fell to 50.4 from June’s revised reading of 54.3 distracted investors from another batch of upbeat earnings reports. The market had expected the index to come in at 51.

Consumer confidence has fallen in recent months as people have waited in vain for a turnaround in the job market. That has made many consumers hesitant to spend and in turn raised concerns about the economic recovery. Most retail stocks fell after the confidence number was released.

Companies have a very different take on the economy from consumers. Chemical maker DuPont on Tuesday joined the growing number of big corporations that have raised their earnings forecasts. DuPont also easily beat analysts’ predictions for its second-quarter profit and revenue. The company’s stock rose $1.39, or 3.6 percent, to $40.38, and accounted for 10.52 points of the Dow’s advance. same standards.

Kern County Fire Department Engineer Anthony Romero said the fire erupted at about 3 p.m. and quickly grew to more than 500 acres.

Officials said 150 structures were threatened and about 200 firefighters were on the scene along with waterdropping aircraft.

The small hill community known as Old West Ranch was evacuated. The area is about 70 miles north of Los Angeles.

“The wind has been a big factor. It’s changing on us a lot,” Romero said. “Now it’s blowing from the southeast, going over a couple of ridges.”

In northern Kern County, an eight-square-mile wildfire in Sequoia National Forest earlier destroyed six homes and forced the evacuation of a camp for juvenile offenders near Kernville.

The cause of the blaze, which began Monday, is under investigation.

In far northeastern California, crews have 30 percent containment of lightning fires that have burned 250 acres of timber in Lassen County.

The names of the officer and the woman have not been released.

The Greater Cincinnati Coalition for the Homeless says the woman apparently was homeless.

MS-13 gang member sentenced to die for N.C. killings CHARLOTTE (AP) — A member of a notorious international gang was sentenced to death Tuesday for killing two brothers at a North Carolina restaurant in 2007, providing prosecutors their biggest victory yet in a crackdown on the MS-13 enterprise.

U.S. District Judge Robert J. Conrad Jr. imposed the death penalty on Alejandro Enrique Ramirez Umana, 25, a few months after a jury recommended that sentence. He is the first member of the MS13 gang to be sentenced to death in the United States.

A federal jury convicted Umana in April on charges related to the murders of Ruben Garcia Salinas and his brother, Manuel Garcia Salinas.

Witnesses testified that Umana shot the men at a Greensboro restaurant after they disrespected Umana’s

gang signs by calling them fake.

“The death penalty in this case is fair, just and merited,” U.S. Attorney Anne M. Tompkins said in a statement.

Federal executions are rare. The last one occurred in 2003, and only three have occurred since the 1960s. There are several dozen people on federal death row.

Umana was charged as

part of a 2008 sweep of the MS-13 gang that led to an indictment of 26 people. Authorities have said the gang has some 10,000 members in the U.S., Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Most have pleaded guilty or been convicted.

“This case has spanned international borders, taken years of investigation and thousands of hours of arduous

work,” said Owen Harris, the special agent in charge of the Charlotte division of the FBI. “It proves our law enforcement partners are determined to bring those who break the law to justice, regardless of the obstacles that may block the path.”

Umana was convicted on all charged counts, including conspiracy to participate in racketeering, two counts of

murder in aid of racketeering, two counts of murder resulting from the use of a gun in a violent crime, possession of a firearm by an illegal alien, one count of extortion and two criminal counts associated with witness tampering or intimidation.

The jury also found that, in July 2005, Umana killed Jose Herrera and Gustavo Porras in California. And the jury

Police standoff ends, armed man shot dead WILMINGTON (AP) — North Carolina investigators have been called to find out what happened after an eighthour standoff with Wilmington police ended with a gunwielding man shot to death.

Police said they stormed the house early Tuesday after an exchange of gunfire with a 40-year-old man who had shut himself inside. Police say they found the man dead of an apparent gunshot wound.

The State Bureau of Investigation has been called in to investigate. The agency usually investigates shootings involving law enforcement officers.

Police say they were called to the house Monday night after relatives said the man was damaging property inside and that he had a gun.

Police said the man was seen walking between rooms with a shotgun over his shoulder and a rifle in his hand.

N.C. 37th, holding in child well-being study RALEIGH (AP) — An annual report finds North Carolina isn’t improving on keeping teenagers in school and children from living in singleparent households.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2010 Kids Count Data Book released Tuesday ranks North Carolina 37th for overall children’s health and wellbeing, the same position as last year but up from No. 45 in 2003.

The study shows 20 percent of North Carolina children lived in poverty in 2008 — before most families felt the recession’s impact. The child poverty rate has hovered around the same level since 2000.

Eight percent of the state’s 16- through 19-year-olds were not enrolled in school and were not high school graduates in 2008. The rate was twice as high in 2000.

found that he participated in the killing of Andy Abarca in Los Angeles a few months later.

Prosecutors said that Umana coordinated attempts to kill witnesses and informants while he was incarcerated awaiting trial. He also attempted to bring a knife with him to the courtroom before U.S. Marshals discovered it, prosecutors said.

Driver with three DWIs charged in fatal crash BESSEMER CITY(AP) — A man with three convictions for driving while impaired was charged with second-degree murder and DWI after a weekend crash that killed a 17-year-old recent high school graduate.

Howard Clay Pasour, 28, of Bessemer City, also was charged with death by motor vehicle, habitual DWI and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, multiple media organizations reported.

He was held in Gaston County’s jail on $2 million bond pending a first court appearance on Tuesday. Jail records did not show he has an attorney.

Pasour was convicted after being charged with drunken driving offenses in 2003 and twice in May 2008. His license was revoked and he was sent to jail for 37 days last fall.

The fatal wreck Sunday night killed Laura Elizabeth Fortenberry, the state Highway Patrol said. She graduated this spring from North Gaston High School and had started studying computer forensics at a Charlotte university, said her stepfather, Charles Armstrong of Lowell.

“I don’t understand why he was behind the wheel of a car,” said Fortenberry’s mother, Michelle Armstrong. “It just don’t make sense.”

North Carolina among 19 finalists for ‘Race to the Top’

Burr, Marshall wealthy, not rich

RALEIGH (AP) — Authorities in the Carolinas are looking for a 4-month-old boy and a man believed to have abducted him.

The Monroe Police Department said Tuesday that they were looking for Jaleen Xamir Howard. Authorities say the baby was last seen wearing a diaper.

Police said they are searching for 41-year-old Lonnie Cecil Buchanan, who was last seen wearing blue jeans or khaki pants and no shirt. The statement said Buchanan’s hair was in dreadlocks and that he was reportedly traveling with a female in a dark blue, four-door car headed south out of Monroe and toward U.S. 74.

A dispatcher at the police department didn’t know if the abductor and the baby are related.

were a residence and rental property on Capitol Hill valued at between $500,000 and $1 million and two financial accounts valued at between $50,000 to $100,000 each.

Marshall was a teacher, small business owner and attorney before being elected secretary of state in 1996.

She received a $24,000 survivor benefit last year after her husband died from cancer.

Among her largest holdings are stock in BB&T Corp., the Income Fund of America and Growth Fund of America, each valued at between $100,000 to $250,000.

Marshall also owned undeveloped land in Lineboro, Md., and Lillington and an office building in Lillington. Each was valued at between $100,000 and $250,000.

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s candidates for U.S. Senate this year are well-off financially by most measures, but their net worths are small-time in comparison to their peers.

Burr and his wife, Brooke, reported assets BURR of between $1.3 million and $2.1 million in a filing with the Secretary of the Senate office, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday.

His 2009 salary as a U.S. senator was $174,000. His wife reported earning between $50,000 and $100,000 from a Winston-Salem real estate firm.

The couple owe a mortgage of between $250,000 and $500,000 on a Capitol Hill residence. Candidates are not required to report the value of their personal residences or their automobiles.

Marshall reported assets between $817,000 and $2.1 million. Her salary as North Carolina secretary of state was $123,198 in 2009. She reported no liabilities.

Their wealth isn’t close to some of the richest senators.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, a Washington-based group that tracks the influence of money, the richest include: • Herb Kohl, D-Wisc., who is worth an average of $214 million; • Mark Warner, D-Va., at $209 million; and • John Kerry, D-Mass., at $208 million.

North Carolina’s junior senator, Democrat Kay Hagan, reported a net worth of between $2.8 million and $31.6 million in 2008, according to the center.

North Carolina has had some very rich senators, including Democrat John Edwards and Republicans Lauch Faircloth and Jim Broyhill.

The department expects 10 to 15 applicants will ultimately receive money, depending on whether large or small states win. “Just as in the first round, we’re going to set a very high bar because we know that

well aligned to the direction Georgia is moving,� said Perdue, a Republican.

Two states, Tennessee and Delaware, were awarded a total of $600 million in the first round. Their applications were praised for merit pay policies that link teacher pay to student performance and for garnering the support of teachers unions. Tennessee and Delaware also have laws that are welcoming to charter schools.

“It’s being driven by great educators and administrators who are challenging the defeatism and inertia that has trapped generations of children in second-rate schools,�

Duncan said.

Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia applied during the second round of the competition. Applications were screened by a panel of

public education. We continue to push for high standards in all public schools. “North Carolina was one of the first states in the nation to adopt the national common core standards....�

State Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson said: “Our state plan’s careful focus on effective teaching and leading, on student learning, on improved technology for learning and assessment and on innovation will help us move our public schools to a new level of performance. ....�

Georgia, a current finalist, didn’t change any laws but already had one of the most open charter policies in the country. Gov.

real and meaningful change will only come from doing hard work and setting high expectations,� Duncan said.

All finalists scored higher than 400 points out of a possible 500 points in the initial evaluation. Duncan said the average score rose by 26 points between the first and second rounds.

In the past 18 months, 13 states have altered laws to foster the growth of charter schools, and 17 have reformed teacher evaluation systems to include student achievement, among other things.

Nearly 30 states have scrambled to adopt the Common Core State Standards, a state-led initiative that outlines what students should know by the time they graduate from high school, which is part of the scoring for Race to the Top. New York, a finalist in the first round that did not win money, lifted its cap on the number of charter schools that can open from 200 to 460.

ATLANTA (AP) — Eighteen states and the District of Columbia were named finalists Tuesday in the second round of the federal “Race to the Top� school reform grant competition, giving them a chance to receive a share of $3.4 billion.

The states are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

The competition rewards ambitious reforms aimed at improving struggling schools and closing the achievement gap. Dozens of states have passed new education policies to foster charter school growth and modify teachers evaluations, hoping to make themselves more attractive to the judges.

In a speech announcing the finalists at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Tuesday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said a “quiet revolution� of education reform is taking place across the country.

Cooking Camp Kids learn valuable lessons in the kitchen HOUMA, La. (AP) — The back of Lynette Callahan’s home sounds like any other summer camp: giggles, persistent questions and shouts of excitement.

But this camp sidesteps the gym, pool and playground for the kitchen, teaching children and teens valuable cooking lessons in an entertaining — and tasty — way. Major activities include chopping, stirring and plating. And the only heat comes from the oven.

“They like the hands-on,” said Callahan, 43, owner and head chef of Young Chefs in Training Cooking Academy, which operates out of her house in Houma.

The academy’s summer camp guides participants, ages 6 to 15, in creating entrees, sides and desserts inspired by places around the world.

The young chefs spend week-long sessions learning about ingredients, culinary tools and ways to prepare various recipes. The tasks may seem like grown-up work, but campers find fun and even outlets for personal expression in making their own pizzas, eggrolls and stuffed pastas.

Tuesday afternoon, 8-yearold Cole Martin of Houma, his mouth and chin spotted with chocolate, pumped his arms in the air while voicing his enthusiasm for making a bananasplit cheesecake, which he described as looking like a “monster.”

“I never want to grow up!”

Martin shouted. “Cooking camp rocks!”

Later, a group of girls huddled around Callahan as she led them in making a secret sauce for the chicken tenders they cooked. The girls tasted the sauce, suggesting more chives, more mayonnaise, more Season-All. “I started my business last summer because of my love of working with children and my passion for cooking and teaching,” Callahan said.

The Raceland native, a computer-lab teacher at Grand Caillou Middle School, begins her 13th year of teaching in the fall. Callahan, raised among a

At Acadian Elementary School, where she taught for six years, Callahan led her students in cooking meals from foreign countries to accompany lessons. Her home also tends to be a gathering point for neighborhood children, who often wind up in the kitchen with Callahan.

After co-workers at Acadian encouraged Callahan to continue cooking with children in the summer, and her daughter, Abby, attended another cooking camp in Houma, Callahan decided to start her own camp.

“I’ve gotten some really good feedback,” she said.

Campers cook foods in conjunction with daily themes,

“They want to chop, they want to mix, they want to stir. They love to whisk.

They love to crack eggs.”

such as taco soup and enchiladas for Mexican day, quiche and fondue for French day, and veggie sticks and a light dessert for healthy day.

Kade Martin, 8, of Raceland, unrelated to Cole, said he liked making stuffed manicotti on Italian day.

“There were a lot of steps, and it was mostly just all having fun,” he said.

Callahan said she tries to expose campers to different seasonings and flavors, having them taste ingredients

like basil and parsley. They learn about kitchen gadgets, such as a zester, and discover the difference between measuring cups for liquids and those for solids.

They most enjoy using their hands, she said.

“They want to chop, they want to mix, they want to stir,” she said. “They love to whisk. They love to crack eggs.”

Callahan incorporates individualized dishes, such as small pizzas, because

campers enjoy building individual creations, she said.

Campers fill different roles each day: dish washer, ingredients, table-wiper and sous chef. Abby Callahan, 9, and two neighbors, ages 12 and 13, also help campers throughout the process.

Daralyn Cavaness, 10, of Houma, who often helps her mother cook, said she enjoys working the different camp jobs. Monday, she helped gather ingredients; Tuesday, she wiped tables.

“I like being the sous chef because you get to help Mrs. Lynette,” Miranda Pitre, 9, of Houma, said Tuesday, as she loaded her banana-split cheesecake with cherries and chocolate. “Whatever she needs help with, we help her with.”

On Fridays, children show off their culinary skills to par-

ents and other guests, with a meal.

The camp costs $125 per week per student. Along with lessons, each child receives a cookbook filled with camp recipes and facts about food, CDs with camp photos, chef hats and aprons.

Callahan said she likes seeing the excitement on campers’ faces when they try a dish for the first time and hearing that they have tried camp recipes at home.

Chase Falgout, 12, of Bourg, who often bakes at home, has attended every session of the camp. He enjoys the experimentation involved in cooking.

“You can venture out and make different things,” he said.

But the best part about cooking camp?

“The eating,” Cole Martin said.

No soup for you! Shop that inspired ‘Seinfeld’ reopens in NYC NEW YORK (AP) — The bisque is back.

The soup stand that inspired the Soup Nazi episode on “Seinfeld” reopened in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday, six years after its famously brusque owner, Al Yeganeh, shut it down and licensed his recipes to a franchising company.

More than 100 people were waiting in line for the noon reopening of the tiny storefront, including a few regulars who remembered the days when Yeganeh ladled broth and imposed discipline from behind the cramped counter.

Much about the shop was the same as in the days before “Seinfeld” made the place famous, including its strict ordering rules, now posted in nine languages.

“THE LINE MUST BE KEPT MOVING. Pick the soup you want!

Have your money ready! Move to the extreme left after ordering!”

But some things are different.

Yeganeh neither owns nor operates the store now. Like other Original SoupMan stores around the country, it is a franchise, although company President Robert Bertrand said Yeganeh remains involved in the business.

“He’s not going back there to dish out the soup, but he is still the heart of the company,” Bertrand said. “He still has a key. He handpicked the operator. His soups are his babies.”

There is even a webcam that allows Yeganeh to keep tabs on the place during business hours, Bertrand said.

Soup in Yeganeh’s kitchen used to be made on the spot, with ingre-

“It’s awesome.

I’ve waited in the rain.

I’ve waited in the snow. It’s worth it.”

dients so fresh and abundant, the line often stretched around the corner. Now, they are produced in a commercial kitchen and available frozen in select grocery stores.

They are also more expensive: An extra-large cup of the crab bisque costs $20. A small cup costs $7. But to some, the soup is splurgeworthy.

“This line, this is normal,” said longtime Hell’s Kitchen resident Larry Cappelli, who arrived an hour early in hopes of getting his first taste of the bisque in six years. “It’s awesome. I’ve waited in the rain. In the snow. It’s worth it.”

Yeganeh, who has become media shy in recent years, stayed away from the grand reopening.

In past interviews, he has dismissed the “Seinfeld” episode as an unfair character assassination, bristled at what he calls the N-word and ridiculed Jerry Seinfeld as “an idiot clown.”

For this reason, customers at the Original SoupMan shouldn’t expect

Indeed, some longtime fans of Yeganeh said the whole “Nazi” thing was overblown.

“The guy worked like a dog. He

didn’t charge enough for the soup.

It was like, $2.50, a cup when he started,” recalled Mark Hoffman, whose company manages a building in the neighborhood. “And he was always a nice guy. Humble.”

As for Yeganeh’s no-show at the

launch, Bertrand said it wasn’t a surprise.

“That’s his mystique. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he was watching from a window up there,” he said, pointing at an apartment building across the street.

Market Update: Meet Adam Sidelinker of Country Gardens B Y K ATHERINE J ONES For The Salisbury Post

Adam Sidelinker is employed by Ernest Ritchie of Country Gardens. He is a regular on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Salisbury Farmers Market.

Adam began working for Ernest at age 16 during summer breaks from school. He attended East Rowan where Ernest was one of his teachers.

Adam, now 19, is in his fourth summer at Country Gardens and this will be his last. In October he will enter the U.S. Navy, following a tradition set by his father and grandfather.

Adam is proud of his association with Country Gardens. Everything sold by them at the Farmers Market is grown on their farm. When asked how they tolerate the extreme heat while in the fields, his reply was that they start very early and work only in the morning. In addition to the usual tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, peppers,

cantaloupe and watermelons, Country Gardens has some sweet, delicious blueberries.

Visit Adam this week and wish him well when he leaves us to serve our country.

Speaking of blueberries, did you know that blueberries are not only a low calorie treat but they are a great source of nutrients that help us achieve the optimal health we all desire? Blueberries are higher in antioxidants than any other fruit. Recent research suggests that blueberries can help lower risk for cancer, enhance your memory and reverse age related illnesses.

When buying blueberries look for firm fruit free of water and with a white glow. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator and they will last a week. Wash gently and quickly when ready to eat.

Blueberries are the fruit of a shrub that is in the same family of plants as

the cranberry, azalea, mountain laurel and rhododendron.

Last Saturday there were a great many shoppers at the market in spite of the heat, and they were not disappointed. The produce was plentiful and fresh, especially the corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peppers and okra.

In addition to fruits and vegetables, the market offers homegrown meats, eggs, fresh baked goods, handmade crafts, beautiful cut flowers and a large variety of plants. See you there!

Katherine Jones is a Master Gardner volunteer for the Cooperative Extension Service in Rowan County.

For more information about the Farmers Market, visit www.salisburyfarmersmarket.com. The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main and Bank Streets. It is open on Wednesday from 7 a.m. -1 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to noon.

Ask Amy: College-Age ‘kids’ are just finding their way Dear Amy: Recently I had the opportunity to interact with several young adults who are in college seeking advanced degrees. I noticed an interesting trend. They call one another “kids” and talk about “the boys (or girls) in my class.”

Amy, these people are in their early to mid-20s and ASK are in their AMY second or third year of a Ph.D. program!

I walked away from this conversation thinking that their self-referencing as children cheapens the work they’re doing and implies less responsibility than they have.

It made it difficult to give them the respect they believe they deserve.

In my opinion, once a young person goes off to college, he or she is no longer a kid. Shouldn’t they refer to each other as men and women?

— Curious Dear Curious: I shared your letter with Laurence Steinberg, psychology professor at Temple University and author of “You and Your Adolescent, revised edition: The Essential Guide for Ages 10-25” (to be published next year by Simon & Shuster).

Steinberg says that unlike puberty, which is a stage of life defined in biological terms, adolescence is largely

defined by social milestones.

Many factors (including the economy) are keeping young adults tied to their parents for a longer time than in previous generations.

Steinberg says, “People in their early to mid-20s are in a new stage of life we haven’t seen before. Some people call this hazy stage ‘emerging adulthood,’ because they are still developing socially, culturally and emotionally.”

He and I agree that young adults who refer to themselves as “boys” or “girls” may be doing so because they don’t want to sound too pompous and lack another term to describe themselves.

Young men can call themselves “guys,” but aside from the antiquated “gals,” there is no equivalent term for females.

Steinberg wisely suggests the best response to this should have come from you in the form of a question to these young people: “Why do you call yourselves ‘kids’? Do you really see yourselves as children?”

Dear Amy: My fiance and I are getting married quickly due to his military orders to move overseas. We are having a small ceremony at my parents’ home.

My parents are supportive of the marriage, and everyone knows we are planning a religious ceremony when my soon-to-be husband is allowed to take leave.

My mother has strongly suggested that even though we will be legally married we

should not sleep together until after our religious wedding, to be held about six months from now. She says to stay pure so that our wedding won’t be like “putting on a show.”

Although I share similar Christian values, I want to take the opportunity to be with my husband for a week before he goes overseas.

Should I follow my mother’s wishes, or be an adult and do as I please with my legal husband before the religious ceremony?

If she finds out we slept together before the religious ceremony, she may not pay for our wedding, and my fiance and I do not have the money to put on a nice wedding like my mother wants.

— Concerned

is a better, less-winded and less-confrontational answer to “Puzzled Parent,” whose children never reached for the check at dinner.

The mother (or father) should say to the server, “Separate checks, please.”

Then point to herself and

himself and say, “These two together.”

—Been There, Been Treated Dear Been There: Well said.

Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail

to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611. Amy Dickinson’s memoir, “The Mighty Queens of Freeville: A Mother, a Daughter and the Town that Raised Them” (Hyperion), is available in bookstores.

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Dear Concerned: If you ask me, “staying pure” for your mother’s sake until a religious ceremony several months from now is definitely “putting on a show.”

The obvious solution would be for you to find a member of the clergy to bless your union when you get married now, with a larger reception later.

You could also enlist clergy or the military chaplain to advise, inform and counsel you and your mother.

If you are old and mature enough to face the challenges of being a military spouse, you should also be strong enough to stand up to your mother. Be an adult. Do what you want to do and face the consequences with grace.

Dear Amy: I enjoy reading your column. Here, however,

• Pot repair. Don’t throw out that busted terra-cotta pot. You can repair it quite easily. Moisten the breaks with water.

Squeeze carpenter’s glue onto the broken edges, and reset the pieces. Circle the pot with strips of masking tape to hold the pieces in place. Let the bond harden. Soon your pot will be as good as new, with more character!

• Grow yogurt. My kids love yogurt, so I make my own. Boil 1 ⁄2 gallon of milk, and allow it to sit in a cool place. When it’s lukewarm, add 1 tablespoon of Dannon plain yogurt, and then stir and cover it. Let it sit on top of the stove overnight. It will be done the following day. This makes sugar-free yogurt. You can add fruit, honey or granola to sweeten it.

IN N.C. TOWNS

Government off course ocal municipalities certainly have the right to regulate some of what goes on in their cities and towns.

Just like a home, a workplace or a school, rules are needed to keep things running smoothly and fairly. Health and safety should top the list, and both financial and human resources should be spent on their enforcement.

Which raises the question of whether public officials — especially during a time of financial hardship and staff cutbacks — should be spending Sometimes time worrying the best action is much about flags, roadside no new action. vendors selling tomaArizona immiStay focused toes, gration laws and on the essential. sidewalk cafes.

In other words, would their time not be better spent worrying about leaking sewer pipes and other infrastructure problems, rising crime rates, unemployment and overstressed budgets?

Some of the current anger at government at all levels arises from a sense that its hand sometimes reaches too far and into areas where it’s really not needed.

That’s not to say that the American flag flying over a gas station in Leland is not too big or might violate a rule. But with the other problems we’re facing does it really matter that much right now?

Was there a pressing reason for staff in Southport and Wilmington to take on sidewalk tables at a time when businesses — employers — need to be given every possible consideration to help keep folks coming through their doors and spending money?

Did the New Hanover County commissioners need to spend any time debating whether they support a law in a state 2,000 miles away? To what end?

Local governments and the laws and regulations they create are an absolute necessity to make this a safe place to live. But with budgets tighter than ever, some people feel government too often goes looking for problems to solve rather than keeping a laser focus on essential services and oversight.

Governments have only so much political capital and it — along, of course, with financial capital — needs to be spent wisely.

Sometimes the best action is no new action.

Stay focused on the essential. Don’t shy away when intervention is needed on a problem, but choose the battles judiciously.

iven what members of Congress get away with these days, it takes a lot to break House ethics rules.

But that’s what a House ethics subcommittee has accused 20term Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY) of doing.

Rangel might have avoided a trial had he admitted to any of the charges against him, but after 40 years in Congress, it’s as if he sees himself CAL as invincible.

THOMAS Rangel will face a jury of his congressional peers, which, to some, might look a lot like organized crime members trying one of their own.

According to the Washington Post, ethics inquiries are focused on Rangel’s “failure to declare $239,000 to $831,000 in assets on his disclosure forms, and on his effort to raise money for a private center named after himself at City College of New York using his congressional letterhead.” Voters might consider these small potatoes compared to running up the national debt into the trillions of dollars, but the public will have its say on that larger question in November.

rats agree to limit their terms, Republicans would rightly see this as unilateral surrender.

Controlling the flow of money and the influence of lobbyists would be another form of protection and the House and Senate ethics committees have tried that to some extent, but the unethical always find a way to circumvent rules.

Again, it’s not what’s unethical, but apparently what some members consider ethical that should anger taxpayers. For example, are you OK with House members, over a ninemonth period between late 2009 and early 2010, spending $604,000 for bottled water?

The purchase is among a long list of questionable expenditures discovered in an audit by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation. Taxpayers might ask why thirsty House members don’t drink from the faucet like most people in Washington, D.C. If members think tap water doesn’t meet their standards, they can buy cheap filters.

Some Republicans are salivating over Democratic spending and ethical lapses, but before they run on fiscal restraint and personal morality, they should remember such former and current colleagues named DeLay, Cunningham, Ney, Foley, Lewis, Burns, Stevens, Craig, Vitter, Miller and Renzi. These were

tainted by scandal while Republicans controlled both houses of Congress. Republicans had promised to clean up the “corruption” from 40 years of House control by the Democrats. Instead, many jumped into the hot tub.

There is an old disease in Washington called Potomac Fever. It does not discriminate between parties. When voters toss out one infected party and replace it with another that promises not to acquire the disease, the new guys also catch it.

The challenge for Republicans, who are ahead in polls for the November election, is to promise voters they won’t repeat their mistakes of the recent past. That can be like walking into a town gripped by a communicable disease and vowing not to get it. Properly inoculated, Republicans can resist Potomac Fever. The question is how.

Term limits seems the best medicine, but unless Democ-

All trips underwritten by corporations and lobbyists should be banned. Any member who wishes to travel should seek authorization from an oversight committee specifically designated to approve such things. This would include travel on military jets, which cost more than commercial airlines. Taxpayers should only pay for travel that is necessary and relevant to the member’s job. Spouses should travel at their own expense.

All travel expenses, along with the purpose of the trip and the member’s schedule, should be posted on a special web page for public viewing.

Last May, the House tightened its travel rules, but not enough. Rules for Senate travel resemble the old and looser House rules.

If Republicans are to benefit from Rangel’s alleged ethics violations, they must prove they are serious about cleaning up their own House (and Senate). “He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone.” That admonition doesn’t give Republicans permission at the moment to pick up even a pebble.

Leaked cables paint ugly picture of war Scripps Howard News Service

side from revealing a serious security problem, those 91,000 leaked documents pertaining to military operations in Afghanistan highlight how difficult prosecuting that war truly is.

In fact, during the period covered by the leaks, January 2004 to December 2009, the U.S. and its allies were incrementally failing in their mission.

The website that posted the documents, after first sharing them with three respected publications here and in Europe, says it has another 15,000 whose release might harm individuals or operations.

A reasonable suspicion would be that this load of classified material was part of the 260,000 cables that a 22-year-old Army intelligence analyst in Baghdad, now under arrest, claimed to have downloaded and forwarded to WikiLeaks.

WikiLeaks claims no agenda other than a dedication to openness and transparency. But the assertion of its founder, Julian Assange, that some of the material is evidence of U.S. war crimes suggests otherwise, as did a decision to label leaked footage of a U.S. helicopter attack that killed civilians as “collateral murder.”

The excerpts printed by The New York Times graphically show the difficulties faced by U.S. troops: a ruthless and resilient enemy; inhospitable terrain; the corruption, unreliability and irresponsibility of the Afghan police and army; and a Pakistani intelligence agency that, at the least, seems to be playing both sides against the middle, and, at the worst, is actively aiding assaults on U.S. forces.

One particularly draining set of documents is a two-day, real-time running account of a battle in which a remote combat post is nearly overrun — “ENEMUY (cq) IN THE WIRE ENEMY IN THE WIRE!!!” reads one frantic communication — and ultimately abandoned after help arrives at the last minute.

There is no telling how selective the document disclosures might have been, and it was left up to the news organizations to provide context, which the Times did extremely well.

The documents end just as the Obama administration began pouring 30,000 additional troops into the fight and implementing a new strategy with a heavy emphasis on minimizing civilian casualties. But unless conditions have changed greatly, the Obama administration has surely handed U.S. commander Gen. David Petraeus a thankless and intractable task.

Respect God’s name Last night I decided to relax and watch TV. I tried two different times to watch movies, but because of the way God’s name was being used in vain, I chose not to continue watching either of them.

I’ve been running into that problem a lot lately. My sister-in-law put it well when she told me that hearing God’s name used with such disrespect at times makes her feel like she’s been

punched in the stomach.

There has been an unrelenting push by some to have the name of God eliminated from the classroom, the pledge of allegiance, our currency, to name a few. If only these same people would push to discourage the irreverent use of God’s holy name in movies, books, television, music and everyday language.

The phrase, “Oh my God,” has become mainstream and has even been reduced to OMG, commonly used online, in texting, on billboards and commercials.

Recently, I asked my 6 year old granddaughter her thoughts on the subject. Her opinion was that a person should only use God’s name if they are thanking him, talking to him or about him, and never in anger. I think that’s very good advice, and I thank God for her.

STATE TAKE-OVER OF THE YADKIN PROJECT ??

FACT vs. FICTION

The High Rock Lake Association is concerned about a great deal of misinformation that is circulating about the efforts by a few politicians and special interests in Stanly County to have the State of North Carolina acquire ownership of the Yadkin Project.

Fact is, the North Carolina General Assembly has twice rejected proposals to create a State Agency to acquire the Yadkin Project. The Proposed YADKIN RIVER TRUST was voted down in 2009, and an effort to reintroduce Yadkin River Trust legislation in 2010 was again rejected by the General Assembly.

************** Why would you want the State to take-over the Lakes?

Fact is, The North Carolina Legislature Fiscal Research Division found the cost to taxpayers for acquiring the Project could exceed 500 Million Dollars. Can Taxpayers afford this when the State struggles to pay teachers and maintain roads/bridges?

What’s the Intent ?

Here is the text from the last version of The Yadkin River Trust legislation:

Ҥ 77-140. Yadkin River Trust.

There is established the Yadkin River Trust as a public agency and instrumentality of the State to develop the Yadkin River in Davidson, Montgomery, Rowan, and Stanly Counties as an instrumentality of intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce and navigation, to ensure the equitable distribution of water for public purposes, to investigate and address issues of environmental damage in that area, and to fulfill the purpose and intent of Chapter 212 of the 1885 Session Laws.. ¢

¢

¢

¢

The last part really gets your attention, after reading a law passed 125 years ago. Chapter 212 of 1885 Session law declares the Yadkin River “a public highway”; and that any person desiring removal of dam may petition the Board of Commissioners in the county where the dam is located to have the dam removed, and the Commissioners shall have the authority to order removal of the dam.

What were the Sponsors and Advocates, including Senators Fletcher Hartsell & Stan Bingham, thinking as they promoted such legislation?

The phrase “equitable distribution of water” seems to be code for easy approvals of Interbasin transfer of water that may be requested by large municipal areas, such as the area Senator Hartsell represents. Our belief is reinforced by the document Gov. Perdue filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission – “The State of NC’s 21st Century Plan for the Use of Yadkin River Resources”.

State and Federal Agencies and Laws are in place to deal with Environmental Issues, why would we want to spend tax dollars to create another Agency charged with duplicate responsibilities?

*************

After the General Assembly rejected the Yadkin River Trust idea, the special interest group quickly introduced a substitute idea, legislation called “The Uwharrie Regional Resources Act”. This Act was pushed thru the Legislature in the late hours of July 9, 2010 just before adjournment. The Act creates a 10 person Commission : ¢ Located in the Department of Commerce ¢ Charged with identifying and evaluating issues affecting important resources of the region ¢ To make recommendations to local, State, and federal legislative and administrative bodies ¢ The Commission’s authority includes “pursue efforts directed at the equitable distribution of water for public purposes”. ¢ The Act specifically states: The role of the Commission is advisory in nature, and in no way shall the Commission be construed to have regulatory authority.

Talk about MISINFORMATION, here’s a quote from the Yadkin Riverkeeper’s latest release, concerning the Uwharrie Regional Resources Act:

“The Uwharrie Regional Resources Commission, dubbed the “Son of the Yadkin Trust,” does not grant as much authority as the original Yadkin River Trust but it is a major step in creating a potential vehicle in which to hold the 50-year license and operate the dams on behalf of the citizens of the state.”

This is just yet another example of the distortions being spread by the special interests.

****************************

Fact is, The Legislature had no appetite for creating another State Agency with the authority to regulate or spend significant Taxpayer Funds to take-over the Yadkin Project.

****************************** Facts are: ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢

The operator of the Yadkin Project will require a Federal License.

As of today the State of North Carolina has not submitted an application to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for a License.

The FERC License Application requires several years to be prepared and processed.

Until a new License is issued by FERC, Alcoa will receive automatic annual license extensions of its 1958 License

***************************

Property Owners around the lakes have often been “at odds” with Alcoa lake management, that’s why the HRLA was formed in 1954. A Federal License Renewal in 2008 provided an opportunity to address longstanding concerns of our Membership, and that’s why The HRLA participated in negotiations with State and Federal Agencies, Environmental and Conservation Organizations, other Stakeholders, and Alcoa for about 5 years beginning in 2002. The Relicensing Settlement Agreement provides many benefits to everyone who uses the Lakes. Here’s a brief outline of important negotiated changes and improvements that will become effective when the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issues a new license to Alcoa: -

8 month Recreational Season with a maximum drawdown of 4 ft. (typically 2 ½ ft below full) Reduced lake outflows during drought conditions Piers permitted with a 6 ft. water depth Piers permitted on lots with less than 200 ft. waterfront Roofs on piers and over floating boat slips Boat lifts, either piling or floating Increased pier sizes Greater latitude on clearing for lake access and views A new public recreational access area on High Rock Lake in Rowan Co. Existing public recreational sites on High Rock, Tuckerton, and the Narrows reservoirs will be improved to provide ADA compliance, dusk to dawn lighting and toilet facilities.

Lands to be transferred into conservation for County and State parks

Congress moves ahead on Afghanistan war money WASHINGTON (AP) — The House prepared Tuesday to send President Barack Obama a major war-funding increase of $33 billion to pay for his troop surge in Afghanistan, unmoved by the leaking of classified military documents that portray a military effort struggling between 2004 and 2009 against a strengthening insurgency.

From Obama on down, the disclosure of the documents was condemned by administration officials and military leaders, but the material failed to stir new anti-war sentiment. The bad news for the White House: A pervasive weariness with the war was still there — and possibly growing.

Republicans in Congress still were strongly behind the boost in war spending, with opposition coming mostly from members of Obama’s own Democratic Party.

In the House debate, Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said the leaked documents revealed corruption and incompetence in the Afghanistan government.

“We’re told we can’t extend unemployment or pay to keep cops on the beat or teachers in the classroom but we’re asked to borrow another $33 billion for nation-building in Afghanistan,” McGovern said.

Audit finds weakness in Pentagon controls for Iraq funds BAGHDAD (AP) — A U.S. audit has found that the Pentagon cannot account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraq reconstruction money, spotlighting Iraqi complaints that there is little to show for the massive funds pumped into their cash-strapped, warravaged nation.

The $8.7 billion in question was Iraqi money managed by the Pentagon, not part of the $53 billion that Congress has allocated for rebuilding. It’s cash that Iraq, which relies on volatile oil revenues to fuel its spending, can ill afford to lose.

“Iraq should take legal action to get back this huge amount of money,” said Sabah al-Saedi, chairman of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee. The money “should be spent for rebuilding the country and providing services for this poor nation.”

The report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction accused the Defense Department of lax oversight and weak controls, though not fraud.

“The breakdown in controls left the funds vulnerable to inappropriate uses and undetected loss,” the audit said.

BP tries to reinvent self with American chief executive officer NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Battered BP began reinventing itself in the shadow of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill Tuesday, naming its first American CEO as it reported a record $17 billion quarterly loss. Its outgoing chief miffed the White House anew with his parting comments.

Robert Dudley, who will replace Tony Hayward on Oct. 1, promised changes in light of the environmental disa s t e r .

“There’s no question we DUDLEY are going to learn things from this investigation of the incident,” he told reporters by phone from London after the announcement was made.

One certain change is that BP will become smaller. It announced it will sell $30 billion in assets and has set aside $32.2 billion to cover costs from the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.

Dudley, BP’s managing director and current point man on oil spill recovery, defended his company’s record and that of the embattled chief executive he will replace.

Hayward, whose verbal miscues intensified the anger Gulf Coast residents already felt, will leave BP with benefits valued at more than $18 million. He told reporters he had been “demonized and vilified” but had no major regrets about his leadership.

France declares war on al-Qaida PARIS (AP) — France has declared war on al-Qaida, and matched its fighting words with a first attack on a base camp of the terror network’s North African branch, after the terror network killed a French aid worker it took hostage in April.

The declaration and attack marked a shift in strategy for France, usually discrete about its behind-the-scenes battle against terrorism.

“We are at war with al-Qaida,” Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Tuesday, a day after President N i c o l a s Sarkozy announced the death of 78year-old h o s t a g e Michel Germaneau.

The huFILLON manitarian worker had been abducted April 20 or 22 in Niger by al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and was later taken to Mali, officials said.

The killers will “not go unpunished,” Sarkozy said in unusually strong language, given France’s habit of employing quiet cooperation with its regional allies — Mauritania, Mali, Niger and Algeria — in which the al-Qaida franchise was spawned amid an Islamist insurgency.

Mexico arrests many drug suspects, but few are charged CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — It’s practically a daily ritual: Accused drug traffickers and assassins, shackled and bruised from beatings, are paraded before the news media to show that Mexico is winning its drug war. Once the television lights dim, however, about three-quarters of them are let go.

Even as President Felipe Calderon’s government touts its arrest record, cases built by prosecutors and police under huge pressure to make swift

captures unravel from lack of evidence. Innocent people are tortured into confessing. The guilty are set free, only to be hauled in again for other crimes. Sometimes, the drug cartels decide who gets arrested.

Records obtained by the Associated Press showed that the government arrested 226,667 drug suspects between December 2006 and September 2009, the most recent numbers available. Less than a quarter of that number were charged. Only 15 percent saw a verdict, and the Mexican attorney general’s office won’t say how many of those were guilty.

Jury finds man guilty of locking children in bathroom for months DALLAS (AP) — A Texas man accused of starving three children and confining them to a squalid hotel bathroom for as long as nine months was convicted Tuesday of injury to a child and sexual assault.

Alfred Santiago, 38, who spent most of the trial scratching notes onto a yellow legal pad, dropped his head and closed his eyes when the judge read the Dallas jury’s verdict. He faces up to life in prison.

The trial moved immediately into a sentencing phase.

The children were gaunt and filthy when they were found by police in July 2009 in a hotel alongside a busy Dallas highway. A doctor who treated them described the children as having sunken cheeks and flaky skin and said they emitted a repugnant odor. Photographs of the children, with their ribs and spines visible through their skin, hung on a courtroom wall during much of the trial.

Prosecutors have said Santiago had sexually assaulted one of the children, a girl who is now 12.

Ethics Committee chair says Rangel in settlement talks WASHINGTON (AP) — New York Democrat Charles Rangel made a last-minute effort Tuesday to settle his ethics case and prevent a House trial that could embarrass him and damage the Democratic Party.

The talks between Rangel’s lawyer and the House ethics committee’s nonpartisan attorneys were confirmed by RANGEL ethics Chairman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif. Lofgren said she is not involved in the talks, and added that the committee’s lawmakers have always accepted the professional staff’s recommendations in previous plea bargains.

Rangel, a 40-year House veteran who is 80 years old, would have to admit to multiple, substantial ethics violations for any plea bargain to be accepted. Earlier negotiations broke down when Rangel would only admit to some allegations — not enough to satisfy the committee lawyers, according to people familiar with those talks who were not authorized to be quoted by name.

If the talks are not successful, trial proceedings for the Harlem congressman would begin Thursday with a reading of alleged ethics violations that are still confidential.

Defense attorney: Blagojevich is not a criminal CHICAGO (AP) — Rod Blagojevich is insecure, he talks a lot and he’s a bad judge of character — but he is not a criminal, the ousted Illinois governor’s defense attorney told jurors at his corruption trial Tuesday during a theatrical closing argument.

Sam Adam Jr. told jurors that he did not call Blagojevich to testify, as he had promised when the trial started, because the government did not prove its case.

“I thought he’d sit right up here,” Adam shouted, walking over to the witness stand and pointing at the empty chair. “I promised he’d testify. We were wrong. Blame me.

“I had no idea that in two and a half months of trial that they’d prove nothing. ... They want you, you and you to convict him” with no evidence, he yelled, pointing to individual jurors.

In its rebuttal, the prosecution said Blagojevich is not the bumbling, naive victim portrayed by defense attorneys.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar told jurors Blagojevich is a smart man and experienced politician who knows better than to explicitly ask for money or other favors.

tery on the mound.

The last time there were five no-hitters in one year was 1991, when Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan threw one of seven in the majors. Now, arms are in charge again — so much so that no-hit alerts seem commonplace.

Ho hum, another shutout.

Complete game? Yawn.

“Pitching has gotten better,” Rays manager Joe Maddon said. “I don’t know that the hitting has gone back a bit, but the pitching has definitely gotten better.”

The numbers back him up.

Fourteen times a pitcher has carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning this year. That’s the most through July 26 since

NFL’s 5 burning questions

July 28, 2010

SALISBURY POST

No-hit frenzy

BY MIKE FITRZPATRICK

CHINA GROVE — When her Carson volleyball teammates were decked out in blue, Sarah Marshall wore orange.

When all the other Cougars were clad in orange, Marshall became the odd girl out in her dark blue uniform.

It wasn’t that Marshall was confused or color blind or owned a washing machine that was out of order. She played the libero position, and liberos wear a different color than their teammates so referees can keep track of them.

Liberos aren’t limited by the normal rules of volleyball rotation. The libero is a permanent member of the back row. She can’t attack. She’s in there to play defense, defense and then a little more defense.

Wanted: New QB for App

BY TOM JONES

See QUESTIONS, 4B

When the NCHSAA implemented the libero rule in 2005, the thinking was dymanic defensive specialists would create more digs, more long rallies and more excitement, and that’s how it’s worked out.

Sometimes liberos change the game or even a match with an impossible dig or by turning an opponent’s serve into a scoring opportunity with a perfect precise pass.

Marshall altered many matches for Carson as a senior. The Cougars had a 22-6 record and reached the NPC tournament final, raising the bar for both Carson athletics and Rowan volleyball.

At 5-foot-4, Marshall gets on the floor much better than she gets in the air, so the libero position was made for her.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

St. Petersburg Times

With NFL training camps getting into full swing this week, we look at five burning questions.

1) What’s up with Brett Favre?

Will he or won’t he play?

Of course he’s going to play.

The question with Brett Favre is more like when.

The quarterback is coming off left ankle surgery, and being a wise veteran, he can milk this ankle thing to miss a good chunk of training camp. Besides, how much does he need training camp?

Not as much as the Minnesota Vikings need him to play.

Without Favre, the Vikings might be lucky to finish .500.

With Favre, they are good enough to get to the Super Bowl if he can avoid making his last pass of the season an interception.

2) Will the New Orleans Saints repeat as Super Bowl champs?

Very recent history says no. The Saints were the fifth different team to win it all in the past six years.

Then again, PAYTON Sean Payton’s Saints did seem to improve in the offseason, particularly on the defensive side with the addition of a first-round draft pick, Florida State CB Patrick Robinson, and free agent DL Alex Brown and Jimmy Wilkerson. The Saints already have one of the best offenses in football with no real questions other than who will be Drew Brees’ backup at quarterback. And let’s face it: If Brees goes down, the Saints are in trouble anyway. This isn’t to say New Orleans will become the first team to repeat since the New England Patriots of the 2003-04 seasons, but they seemed as poised any team since them to do so.

3) Which teams have the biggest quarterback questions?

Let’s start in Arizona, where the retired Kurt Warner is being replaced by Matt Leinart, whose career hasn’t progressed as expected since winning the Heisman at USC. He started 11 games as a rookie in 2006.

But he struggled and was placed on injured reserve early in 2007 and hasn’t been a starter since. It’s put-up or shut-up time for Leinart, and with backup Derek Anderson, the Cards might not

WEDNESDAY

BY JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore has been through this before, trying to find a replacement for a top-flight, national championship winning quarterback.

The last time, it worked out well. Armanti Edwards took over for Richie Williams and won two national player of the year awards, two Football Championship Subdivision championships and four Southern Conference titles.

With Edwards learn- EDWARDS ing to play wide receiver in the NFL, Moore is trying to decide between a junior and a redshirt freshman to lead a team that many expect to continue to dominate one of the toughest leagues in FCS. He said Tuesday he is confident either DeAndre Presley, who started a game last year when Edwards was injured, or Jamal Jackson can keep the Mountaineers on top.

“It’ not like we don’t have something to work with,” Moore said. “It’s our job as coaches to get those guys in position to show their stuff.”

But Elon, an FCS playoff team whose only SoCon loss came to Appalachian State last season, brings back its recordsetting quarterback Scott Riddle, who in just about any other conference would already won player-of-the-year honors.

“Going out my senior year with a conference championship, wouldn’t be any shame to it,” Riddle said. “I am looking forward to what this team can do.” jon c. lakey/saLisBUrY post

Parker’s return Clemson quarterback reconnecting with Tiger teammates

BY PETE IACOBELLI Associated Press

CLEMSON, S.C. — Kyle Parker’s view on his Clemson football future wasn’t that different from many worried Tiger fans.

“I pretty much thought I was gone,” Parker said Tuesday.

Instead, the Colorado Rockies’ top draft pick was back on campus reconnecting with football teammates he hadn’t worked with since the spring.

Parker acknowledged he wasn’t sure he’d ever throw passes again when the Rockies took him with the 26th pick overall last

month. Instead, the two sides couldn’t agree by July 20 — Parker’s deadline to let football coach Dabo Swinney know his plans — and the first Division player to throw 20 touchdowns and hit 20 homers the same year happily returned to Death Valley.

“It’s funny how things work out,” Parker said. “After I made the decision, I felt at peace and felt like it happened for a reason.”

Clemson baseball coach Jack Leggett was surprised at Parker’s return, but was glad his player will be around some more — albeit on a different field.

“Not many guys would’ve done

what he did,” Leggett said.

Parker said he and Rockies will continue talking until the Aug. 16 deadline on a contract that lets him report for baseball in the spring.

Should those negotiations falter, it could set up even more drama for Parker who’s eligible for the both the NFL and MLB drafts in 2011.

“That’s a whole lot of things up in the air,” Parker said.

Swinney believes Parker’s pro football upside is as great as his baseball potential. And, after a slow start, Parker proved that with a stellar freshman season.

Strasburg’s fill-in shines Associated Press

WASHINGTON — With Washington’s Stephen Strasburg suddenly scratched, reliever Miguel Batista was pressed into making his first start in nearly two years — and the 39-year-old journeyman was rather Strasburglike.

Batista allowed only three singles in five scoreless innings, two throwing errors hurt Atlanta starter Tommy Hanson and the last-place Nationals beat the NL East-leading Braves 3-0 on Tuesday.

“Stephen was having trouble getting loose in the bullpen, and so I pulled the plug on it,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said, adding that he considered it a “precautionary move.”

“There’s no shooting pains or anything like that in his shoulder or elbow,” Rizzo said.

When the announced sellout crowd of 40,043 was told of the change in pitchers, fans responded with boos. They booed more when a longer explanation was delivered before the third inning.

Phillies 9, Diamondbacks 5 PHILADELPHIA — Ryan Howard hit a tiebreaking two-run homer. The Phillies moved within 31⁄2 games of Atlanta, cutting the deficit in half over the last five days.

Mets 8, Cardinals 2 NEW YORK — Jeff Francoeur hit a three-run homer and Jose Reyes added a two-run shot.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Indians 4, Yankees 1 CLEVELAND — Josh Tomlin took a shutout into the eighth inning to win his major league debut.

Rays 3, Tigers 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields gave up two runs over 6-plus innings, and Matt Joyce hit a tiebreaking RBI double.

Blue Jays 8, Orioles 2 TORONTO — Jose Bautista hit two home runs, giving him a major league-leading 30, in Toronto’s 11th straight win over Baltimore.

White Sox 11, Mariners 0 CHICAGO — Alexei Ramirez, Andruw Jones and Paul Konerko homered for Chicago, which led 8-0 after three innings.

NOTE SAN FRANCISCO — Florida Marlins left fielder Chris Coghlan is headed for the disabled list with a torn meniscus in his left knee and could need surgery.

He was hurt while delivering a pie in the face to teammate Wes Helms following a win over Atlanta on Sunday. There will be no more such celebratory antics by Florida, manager Edwin Rodriguez said.

“If you ever get injured you want to do it while you’re out there competing, not when you’re celebrating,” Coghlan said. “Emotions get the best of you, you’re excited.

There’s nothing wrong with that but be a little smarter when you’re celebrating a win.”

“After five years, I personally felt it was time for a change,” Ambrose said.

Ambrose debuted with the team in a 2006 truck race at Martinsville. He won two Nationwide Series races for JTG, and nearly won the Cup race at Sonoma last month.

He lost the race when, while trying to conserve fuel under caution, he turned his engine off and couldn’t maintain reasonable speed.

Ambrose did not say where he will drive next season, but he’s believed to be close to finalizing a deal with Richard Petty Motorsports.

MARSHALL FROM 1B She found out recently she hasn’t made her last dig. She’ll have a chance to continue her libero career. She signed with Catawba Valley Community College, where she’ll room with Carson teammate Breckin Settlemyre.

“I was at Catawba’s camp before my junior year, and some coaches there told me they thought I could go on in volleyball,” Marshall said. “But I wasn’t really looking to play in college until CVCC came along.”

CVCC coach Shannon Hudson describes Marshall as the perfect, unselfish person to finish off a strong recruiting class.

“Sarah’s a great defender and a consistent server,” Hudson said.

Marshall’s known what she wanted to

GOLF GREENSBORO — Fans will be able to bring their cell phones onto the course at next month’s Wyndham Championship.

Defending champion Ryan Moore hopes to give them something to talk about.

Tournament officials said Tuesday that they would allow fans to use mobile phones at Sedgefield Country Club — as long as the devices are kept in silent mode and calls are made only in designated areas around the course. Also, fans won’t be allowed to take pictures or video during the four rounds.

Tournament director Mark Brazil said the group discussed changing the cell phone policy after some fans complained they were out of touch with their families and businesses without their mobile devices.

do career-wise for a while. She will enroll in the dental hygiene program at CVCC, and it’s just a nice bonus that CVCC also has a volleyball team.

“I got interested in dental hygiene when I got my braces off because I realized I was smiling a lot more and had a lot more confidence in my smile,” Marshall said. “I’d like to help make that happen for other people. It’s a good thing for people to smile more.”

Marshall has been making her volleyball coaches smile for years. She got an unusually early start in a county where many girls don’t take their first serious swing at a volleyball until they’re freshmen in high school.

“I’ve been playing volleyball almost since I could walk,” Marshall said. “Always loved it.”

Marshall performed a conventional role on the court until Trish Hester, who was Carson’s first head coach, turned her

into a full-time libero her junior year.

Marshall made the All-NPC team two straight seasons and was a fixture on the all-county team.

Her biggest thrill in high school was watching Carson grow, from the first day of practice as a freshman to 22 wins and playoff participation as a senior under new coach Kelan Rogers.

“My whole senior season was fantastic and wonderful,” Marshall said.

She helped make it that way. Carson volleyball fans will remember Marshall’s clutch dig against defending state champ North Iredell in a semifinal game of the NPC tournament.

It was 1-1 in games and Carson led 2423 in the pivotal third one when Marshall threw herself on the floor for the dig that kept the point alive and led to Jennifer Hough’s game-ending kill.

It was the kind of dig liberos dream of, and it made all the difference.

“I would like to continue in NASCAR and finish off what I started, but I have not discounted returning to Australia,” Ambrose said.

“I’m grateful to JTG Daugherty Racing for giving me an opportunity to become a NASCAR driver and I wish them the best in the future.”

JTG said it will make an announcement soon as to who will drive the No. 47 Toyota next season.

He threw for 20 touchdowns and 2,526 yards, both Clemson freshman records.

His 26-yard scoring strike to Jacoby Ford in overtime brought Clemson a 40-37 win at Miami, part of six-game win streak that lifted the Tigers to their first ACC Atlantic Division title.

The Tigers already enter this year without record-setters in tailback C.J. Spiller, receiver Ford and tight end Michael Palmer. Losing Parker would’ve been another dent in Clemson’s hopes to repeat as Atlantic Division champs.

“There’s nothing like experience,” Swinney said.

Parker can’t wait to get going after an extended break away from athletics.

If anyone deserved a rest, though, it was Parker.

at least 1974, as far back as such records go.

As a comparison, it happened six times by that date last season.

“I don’t know if there are any explanations for it,” Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. “It runs in cycles and you just go through it.”

CC Sabathia got it started with a near no-no at Tampa Bay on April 10, and the list of close calls features youngsters from Ricky Romero and Travis Wood to established stars such as John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Of course, several finished the job. Oakland lefthander Dallas Braden retired all 27 batters against Tampa Bay on May 9 and Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay duplicated the feat 20 days later at Florida, making this the only season besides 1880 to include a pair of perfect games.

Arizona’s Edwin Jackson and Colorado’s Ubaldo Jimenez also threw no-hitters — not to mention the perfect game Detroit righthander Armando Galarraga was denied because of a missed call at first base by umpire Jim Joyce.

“It’s pretty unbelievable. I don’t know. It’s not an easy thing to do,” said Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz, who tossed a no-hitter in his second major league start on Sept.

1, 2007. “I don’t remember ever hearing about it happening like this.”

Ted Lilly of the Cubs and Gavin Floyd of the White Sox even had dueling no-hitters going into the bottom of the seventh.

Tampa Bay has been involved in three no-hitters this season, shut down by Braden and Jackson before Garza’s gem Monday on a night when the Rays didn’t manage a hit until Matt Joyce’s sixth-inning grand slam off Tigers starter Max Scherzer.

ond baseball season. The relentless pace continued as Parker won the starting quarterback job and helped Clemson to a 9-5 mark and its first bowl victory in four years.

A couple of weeks after football ended, Parker was back at it in the batting cage as Clemson’s right fielderdesignated hitter. Things didn’t end until late June as the Tigers advanced to the College World Series.

Parker said friends, coaches and teammates sent text messages and called constantly, wanting any clue about his athletic direction when all he wanted was a break.

Parker felt relief when a July deadline passed without a deal and he could call Swinney with the newsback.

“He said something like ’Hot damn,”’ Parker recalled.

For Swinney, Parker’s decision left just about every pro avenue open. “This is a guy that’d be walking away from a potential pro career in another sport,” the coach said.

NEW YORK — Southern California coach Lane Kiffin says he was surprised by the lawsuit filed against him and USC by the Tennessee Titans after he hired away one of the NFL team’s assistant coaches.

Kiffin hired Kennedy Pola on Saturday to be offensive coordinator and running backs coach for the Trojans.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher said he was upset by the fact that Kiffin didn’t contact him before reaching out to Pola.

On Monday, Tennessee Football Inc., the company that owns the Titans, filed a suit accusing Kiffin and USC of violating Pola’s contract.

Kiffin, in New York on Tuesday for a Pac-10 media event, says Pola’s hiring “was done no differently than any we did at SC or Tennessee. I didn’t anticipate this. No one would have.”

BEIJING — Houston Rockets center Yao Ming is considering quitting basketball after next season if he doesn’t fully recover from his lingering foot injury.

In comments to Chinese state media Monday, Yao sounded far from optimistic about his future and also made a rare criticism of China’s national basketball program.

“If the foot injury does not heal next season, I might choose to call it quits,” he said.

Yao turns 30 in September and missed last season following foot surgery. He is set to return to the Rockets after deciding not to opt out of the final year of his contract. Though he has said his recovery was going well, the Rockets have signed 7-foot veteran Brad Miller to share

fensive backs and offensive linemen into his efficient machine. The Mountaineers are 61-12 in the past five years, including one of the most famous upsets ever in college football, the 34-32 win over No. 5 Michigan in 2007.

“We’ve got pretty good football players,” Moore said. “We’ve got to become a pretty good football team.”

Elon has the opposite problem. The Phoenix bring back Riddle, but not a lot of other starters from a team that went 9-3 last season, making their first ever trip to the FCS playoffs.

Riddle should pass Edwards’ league record for career passing yards by the second game of the season.

He already owns the SoCon records for most completions and touchdown passes.

dez Bryant wouldn’t carry any of the fans’ equipment, either.

Bryant didn’t expect flap over carrying pads Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO — Dez Bryant insists he was unaware of the rookie ritual of carrying a veteran’s shoulder pads after practice. The Dallas Cowboys’ first-round pick would have done more than that had he known his refusal to accommodate Roy Williams’ request would become such a big issue.

“I told Roy this ... he could have walked in with his tights on,” Bryant said after the first of Dallas’ two practices Tuesday. “I would have took his shoulder pads, his pants, his helmet, his socks, his shoes. I would have took everything. But you know what, that’s not even an issue.”

Bryant, the talented receiver who slipped to 24th overall in the draft because of questions about his character and talk of him skipping meetings and classes at Oklahoma State, said he is trying to do all the right things with the Cowboys at training camp.

“But it seems like I can’t do the right thing because every little thing that I do (reporters) watch it and try to make a big deal out of it,” Bryant said.

Plenty of drama and headlines ensued when Bryant didn’t carry Williams’ pads after the first workout in pads Sunday, then he said he was drafted to play football not to take care of someone else’s gear.

He jogged off the field without commenting Monday after the story had spread so quickly and widely.

Bryant was clearly frus-

trated Tuesday as he answered repeated questions about the situation and his relationship with Williams, all while signing autographs for fans chanting their support for the rookie wearing No. 88.

“We are fine. Matter of fact, it is not even a situation,” Bryant said. “Me and Roy are great. Not only Roy, but the whole team. ... Everybody on the team likes me and I like everybody on the team. (Reporters) are trying to put me and Roy against each other. That’s not going to happen. We’re trying to do something real special here.”

As Bryant signed footballs, caps, posters and Tshirts with media surrounding him, several fans shouted “Leave him alone” and “We want Dez!” Though Bryant is expected to challenge for the starting spot opposite Pro Bowl receiver Miles Austin on a team with Super Bowl expectations, Williams has repeatedly said that everything is good between all the receivers.

“Every team I’ve been on, and all the different guys that have been in our groups, the receivers have always been a tight-knit group. That’s what we are right now,” Williams said. “It’s not me vs.

Dez, or me vs. Miles or Miles vs. Dez. When it comes down to it against Washington (in the season opener), it’s going to be us vs. them.”

Bryant played only three games for Oklahoma State last season because of his NCAA suspension for lying to investigators about a meeting with former Cowboys star Deion Sanders.

Rams optimistic Bradford will sign Associated Press

The NFL notebook ...

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Rams are optimistic they’ll sign No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford soon, perhaps by Thursday when quarterbacks and rookies are due for their first training camp workout.

Spagnuolo said talks are proceeding with Bradford and he was hopeful a deal would be reached soon. The coach added that Bradford, the former Oklahoma quarterback, has said in the past that he wanted to be in camp BRADFORD on time.

In any case, Spagnuolo reiterated that veteran A.J. Feeley will open camp as the starter.

“Just like I stated all last spring, if we played today A.J. would be the guy,” Spagnuolo said.

STEELERS PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers might not know until late in training camp whether quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s suspension will be reduced from six to four games by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Goodell plans to visit the Steelers’ camp on Aug. 5, but the stop is not specifically related to Roethlisberger’s suspension for violating the NFL’s per-

QUESTIONS

Chad Ochocinco, who has already dubbed the pair Batman and Robin. The Bengals made an offer on Monday, and Owens accepted a day later.

Players are required to report for the start of training camp on Wednesday in Georgetown, Ky. Owens is expected to show up when workouts begin on Thursday, said the person speaking on condition of anonymity because the team had made no announcement.

On his Twitter account, all Owens would say was, “Hoping 2 b a Bengal w/in the 24hrs!!” He’s expected to sign his deal with he arrives in Georgetown.

Already, it’s like something out of a reality show.

Ochocinco gushed about the matchup on his Twitter feed, welcoming Owens and joking that “all of our games have been moved to pay-per-

sonal conduct policy.

Roethlisberger was suspended April 21 after being accused of sexually assaulting a Georgia college student, although he was not charged. Goodell said the suspension could be reduced by two games if Roethlisberger has no more behavioral issues and did all that was asked by the league.

PATRIOTS OXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Patriots say they have placed wide receiver Wes Welker on the active/physically unable to perform list.

Welker, who has made a strong recovery from knee surgery in February, could come off the list at any time, the Patriots said Tuesday. New England begins training camp on Thursday.

TEBOW AND JOCKEY ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Tim Tebow has agreed to a multiyear contract — not with the Denver Broncos, but with Jockey International Inc. to be an underwear spokesman.

The quarterback will work with several of the underwear company’s product lines in catalog, TV and print advertisements and on jockey.com.

Tebow said in a statement that he’s “long been a fan and consumer of Jockey and think they make a quality product with a great fit.”

The Broncos selected Tebow, who won two championships at Florida, in the first round of the NFL draft. Rookies are due to report to camp Wednes-

Colt McCoy is considered the future starter in Cleveland. But the Browns won’t rush him, especially with veteran Jake Delhomme projected as the starter. Same scenario in Carolina, where former Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen is expected to back up Matt Moore. In fact, Clausen could end up the No. 3 behind Moore and Hunter Caldwell. The Panthers also have former University of Cincinnati QB Tony Pike, but he likely will head to the practice squad.

One of the biggest stories in all of the NFL is what will happen in

day but Tebow won’t be allowed to do so until he has a contract with the team, one that figures to be worth $12 million over five years.

TATUM DIES COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jack Tatum, the Pro Bowl safety for the Oakland Raiders best known for his crushing hit that paralyzed Darryl Stingley in an NFL preseason game in 1978, has died.

He was 61.

Nicknamed “The Assassin,” Tatum died of a heart attack Tuesday in an Oakland hospital, according to friend and former Ohio State teammate John Hicks.

On Aug. 12, 1978, in an exhibition game against the New EngTATUM land Patriots, the hardhitting Tatum slammed into Stingley with his helmet while the receiver was running a crossing pattern. The blow severed Stingley’s fourth and fifth veterbrae and left the receiver paralyzed from the neck down.

The two never met after the hit.

Stingley died in 2007.

Despite Tatum’s failure to show remorse, Hicks said Tatum was haunted by the play.

“It was tough on him, too,” Hicks said. “He wasn’t the same person after that. For years he was almost a recluse.”

Denver with Tim Tebow. The Broncos seem intent on sticking with the former Gator as a quarterback but as a backup with Brady Quinn to Kyle Orton. The real intrigue: Will the Broncos draw up a few trick plays featuring Tebow lining up as something other than a traditional quarterback?

5) Are the Pittsburgh Steelers in trouble without Ben Roethlisberger?

The bad news is Ben Roethlisberger is suspended for the first four to six games because of his off-field shenanigans. The good news is the Steelers know now that

they won’t have the quarterback, they have a veteran who is familiar with the system (Byron Leftwich) and coach Mike Tomlin’s plan even with Roethlisberger is to go back to a more traditional Steelers style.

That means running the ball, controlling the clock and playing defense.

The first four games won’t be easy, home against the Atlanta Falcons and Baltimore Ravens and at Tennessee and Tampa Bay. You get the feeling the Ravens will get an early jump in the division and the Steelers will be playing catchup all season.

Wednesday, July 28 Any creative, artistic or inventive talents you might have could be put to some profitable uses in the year ahead if you’re open to suggestions and new ways of doing things.

Do not put any limitations on your imagination.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Don’t rush your assignments and you’ll be amazed at how much more you’ll accomplish. Consistency rather than urgency gets you what you want without engendering time-consuming mistakes.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - The best way to get the assistance of someone who could help you achieve a goal is to avoid making continuous pitches for his/her support. Ask only once and accept this person’s response.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Even if certain family members such as relatives or in-laws do some things that exasperate you, tolerate who and what they are. If you keep your mouth shut, everyone will leave smiling.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - Look for the virtues in others instead of their frailties, and this could be a very pleasant day for you. Pinpointing the flaws of friends only makes you look bad and causes people to dislike you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Be sure to scrutinize the merchandise you’re considering purchasing, especially if it is costly. If you yield to being a spontaneous shopper, you could end up being wasteful.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - By pacing yourself wisely, you’ll be capable of achieving considerable accomplishments. Remember to allow adequate time for each of your endeavors.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you think it is the right course to take, play a bit hard to get when negotiating a matter of importance.

Things will work out far better if you let your prospect come to you.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Keep your conversations with friends light and breezy if you can. If you either get focused on shoptalk or on some serious issues of the day, you could end up feeling depressed.

Aries (March 21-April 19) - Don’t give up if your initial efforts fail to achieve your goal.

Regroup and try again. Sometimes adding a new twist is just the ticket to get what you want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) - If you find yourself linked up with someone who has a caustic tongue, don’t withdraw from your goal just to get away from this person. If you respond tactfully, she will fall in line.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) - The best way to gain what you want is to act in terms of what is best for everyone. It’s one of the quickest and best ways to achieve your goals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) - Your thinking will be much clearer and more accurate if you take the necessary time to weigh and balance all the pertinent facts. Hasty assumptions could take you down the wrong path.

Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it. The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you. Mail $3 to Astro-Graph, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167.

How much sleep is enough?

Dear Dr. Gott: My wife and I go to bed at about the same time every night. I never get a full seven hours of uninterrupted sleep, and most often awaken in less than five hours. I try to get back to sleep, but it seems to take hours to accomplish this. I know I often see the sun beginning to peek through our curtains at around 5:30 a.m., but I also know I do eventually fall back asleep, owever DR. PETER hbriefly, beGOTT cause when I eventually awaken again, I realize I’ve been dreaming. My left hip arthritis doesn’t help. Are these two-plus hours worth anything? Or am I just as well off getting up and reading during that time?

Dear Reader:The amount of sleep people require varies greatly. In large part, it depends on age, health and physical and mental activity.

Many people tend to awaken sooner than they would like to because of issues, recent events or medications they might be taking. For example, there’s the overdue report, the uniform or slacks that must be picked up at the cleaners, coordination with a neighbor for transportation to a function, the dentist appointment, brakes on the car that should be checked or yard work. A person may fall into bed in sheer exhaustion, only to awaken at a most inopportune time attempting to resolve half the major issues that lie ahead.

For some, there’s the diuretic your doctor prescribed. It’s dark, everyone else is sleeping, and you, by necessity, must trudge out of bed and get to the bathroom.

By the time you make the return trip and get comfortable under the blankets, you’re well awake. This leads to finding a comfortable position because of your arthritis, much tossing and turning, and a fervent prayer that you can catch another 40 winks.

You may suffer from in-

somnia — difficulty going to and/or remaining asleep. This condition can cause a person to awaken several times during the night, awaken too early in the morning, or be unable to fall asleep once retiring.

You may snore or have sleep apnea. Snoring will likely be reported to you by your wife the next day. I even have known people who wake themselves up snoring loudly.

Sleep apnea is an obstructive disturbance caused by the muscles in the back of the throat relaxing. The disruption will affect your quality of sleep.

Because of the many possibilities, I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor or a sleep-disorder specialist, who can help sort things out. Perhaps you simply require less sleep than you once did.

While waiting for an appointment, continue your pattern of retiring for the evening at the same time your wife does. Forfeit all daytime naps. Eat at a reason-

able time so your food can begin to digest before you climb in bed. Refrain from caffeine in your diet after 5 p.m. Make sure that your bedroom is quiet and the television and lights are off before you get into bed.

Then if it becomes too annoying, keep a book handy.

This will either entertain you, put you back to sleep quickly, or awaken your wife when you turn the light on. That translates to two possible positives and one aggravating negative!

I wish you luck.

Disney to buy social-gaming site Playdom BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — The Walt Disney Co. is buying online social-gaming company Playdom for $563.2 million, the latest sign the company is becoming a formidable player in the video-game industry.

Disney said Tuesday it is buying Playdom to strengthen its digital-gaming portfo-

lio. The purchase will help bring Disney’s characters, stories and brands to customers in new ways, through Facebook and MySpace.

Playdom, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., has about 42 million monthly active users, who play games such as “Social City” and

“Sorority Life.”

In addition to the purchase price, Playdom shareholders may also earn another $200 million if the company meets certain financial targets.

The deal comes less than a month after Disney announced it bought Tapulous, the maker of the popular

iPhone music game “Tap Tap Revenge.” And Disney bought the popular online kids hangout Club Penguin for $350 million in 2007.

Disney expects to close the acquisition by the end of its fiscal year in September. Its shares closed down 12 cents at $34.28 Tuesday.

Negative doubles for positive results

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

The most important call for handling a pre-emptive overcall is responder’s negative double.

The double’s primary job is to try to find a fit in an unbid major. But as we will see tomorrow, at a high level the negative double is less welldefined. First, though, here is a textbook example.

After South opens one club and West makes a twoheart weak jump overcall, North doubles, negative.

This shows four spades and usually nine-plus points.

Over East’s defensive raise to three hearts, South competes with three spades, and North raises aggressively to four spades.

West leads the heart king.

How should South plan the play? Did West have a more effective opening salvo?

The defenders are threatening to take two spades, one heart and one club. Declarer cannot avoid the blacksuit losers, so takes the first trick, cashes his diamond ace, overtakes the diamond queen with dummy’s king, and discards his heart loser on the diamond jack. What must he do next?

It would be easy to make the mistake of leading a trump. However, here, East could win with his king and lead his last diamond. South would have to ruff (West throws a club) and play another trump, but East would win and return a trump to

dummy. Since South is now out of trumps, East would get the club ace, and West his heart queen.

To avoid this, South must ruff dummy’s heart nine before leading a trump. Then, when East returns that diamond, South can ruff and play another trump. Everything is under control.

West defeats four spades by leading a club, which gains him a club ruff.
