Salisbury bids farewell to retiring city manager BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — During an outpouring of love, laughter and gratitude, Salisbury bid farewell Thursday to the man who has led the city for the past quarter-century. At a public reception that drew hundreds, City Manager David Treme accepted accolades and honors with humility and humor, at one point quipping “it only seems that long” when Mayor Susan Kluttz accidentally put his start date at 1886, rather than 1986. Surrounded by his wife Karen and their children Julianne VanGraafeiland and Robert Treme, David Treme thanked his family and then surprised his protege, new interim City Manager Doug Paris, by calling him to the podium and praying for him. Treme promised to stop

calling the 27-year-old “young Doug.” Paris, a city employee for four years, begins his new job Monday. City managers from Concord, Lenoir and Wilson praised Treme as a visionary and said his customer service initiative, launched in 2005, has set the gold standard across the state. All three cities, as well as WinstonSalem, have adopted Treme’s concept. Treme is “considered the father of customer service in North Carolina,” said Brian Hiatt, city manager of Concord. Grant Goings, city manager of Wilson, said Treme inspired him after they met during an executive leadership class at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “To see him with 30 years in the business and more energy than anyone else in the

room,” Goings said. “... He changed how I looked at my career.” Lane Bailey, city manager of Lenoir and president of the N.C. City and County Management Association, said no city manager in North Carolina is more respected than Treme. “He epitomizes servantleadership,” Bailey said. The managers presented Treme with a framed momento of his customer service initiative, one of several gifts at the reception. Council members and city employees managed to surprise Treme with a bronze plaque similar to historical markers throughout the city.

Betty Dan Spencer and Braswell Perry designed the marker, which will hang in City Hall, declaring Treme as city manager emeritus and detailing highlights of his career: • Annual City Council retreats for strategic planning, a new concept in 1986 and one that many people call Treme’s top contribution to Salisbury • Downtown revitalization • New parks and major improvements to Jake Alexander Boulevard, Innes Street and the I-85 corridor • Expanding the city limits and upgrading police and fire protection • Consolidation of water and sewer services county-

Painting by Salisbury architect to go to soldier’s family B Y M ARK W INEKA The family of the late John E. Ramsay, noted Salisbury architect and civic leader, will present a painting tied to a 70-year-old mystery, when they donate the piece to a Dallas, Texas, family Saturday. The painting by Ramsay, a World War II Navy lieutenant and aspiring artist, depicts U.S. Marine Corps pilot 1st Lt. Herman H. Spoede II entering his fighter plane just hours before disappearing on July 3, 1943. Ramsay titled the painting “Thunder Head,” an apparent reference to the role of storm clouds in Spoede’s disappearance. A son and grandson of Ramsay’s will make a surprise presentation of the painting to the sole surviving brother of Spoede Saturday at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort in Las Colinas in the Dallas area. “It has attracted a lot of attention,” says John E. Ramsay Jr., a Raleigh architect. National Public Radio, several newspapers and the CBS affiliate in Dallas are planning stories on the families’ connecting through the painting. Since the war, John Ramsay Jr. says, the painting

had hung in various places. He remembers it being in his father’s office in the Shaver Building on North Main Street and also at his parents’ on home Park Road. A f t e r John Ramsay’s death and his wife A n n e ’ s RAMSAY move from Salisbury, many of the architect’s possessions were divided among family members, and grandson Kerr Craige Ramsay of Atlanta ended up with several paintings John Ramsay had done. “He (Kerr) was asking me about it once,” John Ramsay Jr. says of the Thunder Head piece, “and he said it would be kind of cool to figure out who the pilot was.” Kerr Craige Ramsay eventually came across a website devoted to the squadron. John Ramsay Jr. spoke to Steve Richardson of Florida who had transcribed a diary related to the squadron, and that led the Ramsays to Dan McAnarney who had found a connection to the Spoede family in Texas. The Ramsays initiated their research about a year ago.

Spoede, along with fellow members of the VMF-213 Hellhawks squadron, were conducting a raid on Rendovain the Pacific. During the return flight, Spoede was separated from the squadron by a thunderstorm and disappeared.

Each fostered hope that he might have lived, but also prolonged his parents’ grief. Rumors, and reports of Japanese soldiers surrendering after decades of hiding, contributed to the uncertainty.

WASHINGTON — Both of Rowan’s representatives in the U.S. House say the country’s debt limit must be raised soon to avoid a financial crisis, but legislators are trying to find a solution that both parties will accept. House Republicans struggled Thursday to pass legislation to prevent a looming government default while slicing nearly $1 trillion from federal spending. Senate Democrats pledged to scuttle the bill — if it got to them — in hopes of forcing a final compromise. “If people were acting in the interest of the country, they already would have reached one,” said Rep. Mel Watt, a Democrat whose district includes part of Rowan County. “I am concerned, because the consequences (of not taking action) would be devastating to the country’s economy and the world economy.” Without signed legislation by Tuesday, the Treasury will not have enough funds to pay all the nation’s bills. Administration officials have warned of potentially calamitous effects on the economy if that happens — a spike in interest rates, a plunge in stock markets and a tightening in the job market in a nation already

struggling with unemployment over 9 percent. Watt said Congress could reach a deadlock if neither House Speaker John Boehner’s plan considered Thursday nor an alternative drafted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, can pass both chambers. “If I was presented with a reasonable proposal, I would vote for it,” Watt said, adding that he doesn’t think Boehner’s proposal is reasonable and doesn’t know much yet about Reid’s. Rep. Howard Coble, a Republican representing part of Rowan, said refusing to raise the debt ceiling would be too costly. “I’d like to have the luxury of voting ‘no,’ because we can’t continue spending what we don’t have,” Coble said. “But we need to raise it to avoid possible disharmony in the financial markets.” According to Associated Press reports, Boehner also urged action Thursday. “Let’s pass this bill and end the crisis,” he said. “It raises the debt limit and cuts government spending by a larger amount.” In a closed-door GOP meeting Thursday, Boehner made headway in securing the 217

Landis alderman throws hat in ring for mayor’s race BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — Alderman James Furr has put in a bid to run against incumbent Mayor Dennis Brown, whose first term will conclude this year. Furr, 54, whose term isn’t set to expire until 2013, hopes to bring “focus” to the board, he said in a statement. “I believe that citizens always deserve a choice in elections,” he said. Furr went on to say he wants to focus on fiscal responsibility and accountability. “The recent contracting of garbage services is a prime example of the lack of this focus currently,” Furr said. During the budget process, Furr raised multiple issues with the town

contracting its garbage services, including entering into a contract for more than two years. The board eventually approved its budget, which included the garbage services. This is Furr’s first run for mayor. He has been an alderman since 2005. FURR The main reason Brown, 56, is running for re-election is to see current projects come to fruition, he said. Those include a water-sewer project and efforts to incorporate greenways and walking trails into the town. “My main objective is to keep Landis the same great town it’s al-

ways been and add to it,” Brown said. Brown credits new Parks Director Andrew Morgan with keeping the town on course with the recreation master plan it created in 2010. Morgan worked on getting the Lake BROWN Corriher area, which for a long time hadn’t been used by the public, ready for visitors. “The greenway is the real push,” Brown said. “The master recreation plan gives us a good clear vision of what we want in the next 10 years,” he said.

Brown said the greenway and other outdoor recreation is a “quality of life issue.” People want to be able to ride their bicycles and walk outdoors, he said, and, “I want us to be able to provide that to them.” Aldermen Roger Safrit and Tony Hilton are seeking re-election. Safrit, 59, would also like to see through projects started during his time in office. “Over the past four years, this board has worked closely together. We’ve done things that will benefit the town in the future and I would like to see more projects done,”

Safrit said. Safrit agreed with Brown that Lake Corriher is a great completed project. He would also like to see a passive park completed and to see the Carolina Thread Trail make its way through Landis. “I don’t make promises, but the only thing I can say is I will do the best I can to work with people involved in certain things to keep taxes down and services cost down,” Safrit said.

MAYOR FROM 1a He said he’s learned a lot in four years. Safrit won a seat on the board after Dean Beck won election in 2008 then stepped down. Safrit finished just five votes behind Beck in the November 2007 election. Hilton, 64, was first appointed to the board in 2002, also to fill a seat vacated by a member who stepped down. He said his priorities are to deliver the best and most efficient government services in Landis at the lowest cost.

He said aldermen didn’t have to increase property taxes to a “revenue neutral” rate after revaluations this year because they found cost savings. “We saved $123,000 out of this year’s budget by contracting out garbage pickup to keep from raising taxes,” Hilton said in a statement. He called the town’s recycling programs one of the “most efficient” in the county. “We are continuing the needed upgrades to water and sewer systems, again without rasing taxes. We are also keeping water and sewer rates as low as possible,” Hilton said.

“Letters to God”

Those were all goals Hilton said he set out to accomplish while on the board. Tony Corriher, who has served two previous terms as an alderman, is seeking a return to the board. He said the board needs business-minded people serving, people who know “what it means to make it on your own” while paying taxes, and who can bring “prudent and fruitful ideas” for the future of Landis. Safrit is the only self-employed board member, Corriher pointed out. Hilton retired as the county risk manager. “They don’t own a business or know abut paying taxes

and what it costs to operate a business,” Corriher said. For years, there has been talk of merging services, but Corriher doesn’t support that, saying no cost savings has been proven. “There’s no benefit. We need to look after our own affairs,” he said. He said town officials “need to get back to the basics.” Corriher, like Furr, opposed doing away with the old garbage system. “I’d be for going back to what we had. I didn’t have any problem with it,” he said. Contact reporter Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

the challenge of working out tough issues and wants Salisbury to thrive. Unlike running a business, running a city means trying to include everyone, Woodson said. “The biggest thing I’ve learned is that no matter what you think, and no matter what you believe, someone else might be thinking, you

need to sit down and hear their point of view,” he said. The next five years will strain government at all levels, and Salisbury will face budget shortfalls again, Woodson said. He will fight hard to keep taxes low and water rates down while supporting services like the city’s excellent parks and recreation department, he said.

Salisbury’s National Night Out is Tuesday SALISBURY — Many Salisbury neighborhoods will host events and activities Tuesday for National Night Out. Salisbury Police and Parks & Recreation Department are partnering with neighborhoods for the annual anticrime celebration. Each neighborhood event is designed to help strengthen the bond between neighbors and create a sense of local community spirit. National Night Out offers an opportunity for relationship-building between residents, police and other public service departments. Mayor Susan Kluttz encourages people to attend. “Each event offers a unique opportunity to enjoy local fellowship, participate in anticrime programs and to strengthen community spirit,” Kluttz said in a press release. “By striving to develop strong police-community relationships, we will ensure that we are consistently working together to provide a safer community for all.” Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins said his department is proud to participate. It’s the 28th annual National Night Out. Each year, the program works to heighten crime- and drug-prevention awareness, while generating support for local anti-crime programs, Collins said. “By strengthening the neighborhood bond, we send a

strong message to criminals,” he said in a press release. “We are organized as a community and together, we are fighting back against crime.” Officer Ann Cooper organizes the event each year. Planned festivities vary by location and can include refreshments, games, storytelling and educational displays, Cooper said. Each location will receive a visit by Collins, local police officers and McCOOPER Gruff the Crime Dog. The Parks and Recreation Department and the Salisbury Fire Department will be on hand and offer activities and demonstrations at various locations. Events include: • Cannon Park Celebration: 6-8 p.m. at 600 Park Ave. Games, refreshments and music. The Downtown Salisbury Cooperative Parish of the United Methodist Church is sponsoring the event. Participating churches include Coburn Memorial UMC, Park Avenue UMC and Main Street UMC. • Laurel Pointe Apartments: Starts at 6 p.m. residents of the Laurel Pointe Apartment complex. Cookout, pool and activities for children of residents. • Fulton Heights: 7-9 p.m.

forcement,” said Landis Police Officer Don Silardi. “We work for a common goal of working to eradicate crime and drugs,” Silardi said. When National Night Out first started, residents turned on their porch lights and came out of their homes to meet each other, he said. “Now it encourages people to meet and get to know law enforcement and build a trust,” Silardi said. The Landis/China Grove National Night Out will be from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. beside the Landis Police Department, 136 N. Central Ave. The event is free to the public. There will a DWI simulation

SALISBURY — The Congressional redistricting maps given final approval in the N.C. General Assembly late Wednesday include a change in representation for many Rowan County residents. Under the approved plan, the 6th District now represented by Republican U.S. Rep. Howard Coble no longer contains part of Rowan County, while the 5th District now represented by U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, also a Republican, is expanded to take in northwestern Rowan. Coble said Thursday he has enjoyed representing Rowan County and will miss it if he is re-elected. “I have represented those constituents for a good number of years, and I’ve come to treat them not unlike family members,” he said. “If I could, I’d keep everything I have, but I don’t have that luxury.” Of the 10 counties in the new 6th District, Coble has represented only Guilford and Alamance before. He said that won’t stop him from getting to know the others. “Those people in those other eight counties know virtually nothing about me, and I know virtually nothing about them,” Coble said. “They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but I think you can teach an old congressman new tricks about making new friends.” In an email Thursday, Foxx said she is confident that the redistricting process was fair and legal. “Should I have the privilege of representing the 5th District in 2012, I’m looking forward to serving whoever might be within the boundaries of the new district,” Foxx said. “It is a great honor to serve in Congress, no matter who I represent, and I am ready to roll up my sleeves to get to know and work for constituents no matter where they may live.” The 8th District now represented by Democratic U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell, is expanded to take in southern and eastern Rowan, putting more GOP voters in a district that Kissell wrested away from Republican Robin Hayes in 2008. But the biggest bone of contention in the newly approved map — and the one that could see it end up in the courts — is the redrawing of the 12th District now represented by Democratic U.S. Rep. Mel Watt. The district, which stretches from

Grace Lutheran burglarized BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

Grace Lutheran Church Pastor Jeremy Cloninger is upping security after a thief kicked in the back door of the church Monday night or early Tuesday morning. A Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report said the thief took a laptop, wireless microphone and more than $100 in cash. The report totaled $2,000 in stolen property. “We’re upgrading a little bit on that,” Cloninger said. The burglar kicked in several office doors, includ-

DISTRICT FROM 3a Greensboro to Charlotte, still runs through Rowan but it has been reconfigured with a larger majority of black voters. Critics, including Watt, say the GOP-led General Assembly has “packed” black voters into a few districts and diluted their influence in adjoining ones. They say that violates the Voting Rights Act. Watt said in a July 21 statement to the legislature that the Voting Rights Act “was not... designed to create racial ghettos in which African-American candidates are given inordinate and unreasonable electoral advantages.” The 12th District, which Watt has represented since its creation in 1992 was the focus of years of litigation be-

Triathlon Camp starts Monday SALISBURY — Salisbury Parks and Recreation will host the last kids’ triathlon camp for the summer starting Monday and ending on Friday. The camp will take place on the Catawba College campus and is open to boys and girls ages 8-14. Through Thursday, camp starts each day at 9 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m. Lunch is provided. On Aug. 5, the camp will conclude with a triathlon competition beginning at 9:30 a.m. Parents and friends are invited. Cost for the camp is $40 for Salisbury residents and $60 for non-residents. Each finisher will receive a medal and a T-shirt. Each camper must bring

PILOT FROM 1a With no new evidence, the Marines changed his status to Officially Declared Dead on July 4, 1944. For decades, the Spoede family learned only sparse details about Herman. A family member working in the Pentagon in the 1990’s obtained a copy of VMF-213’s official war diary. The website dedicated to the squadron also made it possible to connect survivors and family members. A surviving squadron member, the last to talk to Herman on the radio before he disappeared, called Herman’s surviving brother a few years ago. Then John E. Ramsay Jr. contacted Spoede’s surviving relatives with word of the painting. “To the best of my knowledge,” John Ramsay Jr. says, “Dad never knew who the pilot was. ... Needless to say the Spoede family is real excited.” During World War II,

City employees also surprised Treme with a video, created by Elaney Hasselmann and Jason Parks in the city’s Access16 production studio. In the video, former Mayor Margaret Kluttz, former Assistant City Manager Foster Owen and former City Councilman Jim Dunn, who hired Treme, thank him, praise him and wish him well. Each shares a personal story about Treme. Kluttz lauds Treme’s dedication to Salisbury and his innovative thinking, includ-

ing finding a way to ban cruising in the 1980s to make way for the revitalization of downtown. In another touching tribute, City Clerk Myra Heard recounts how Treme befriended her and became her mentor, as he did with many others. “He serves, and he loves,” Heard said before the reception. “That theme that has emerged over the last few days as people talk about what he’s meant to them.” Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

fore the U.S. Supreme Court approved the current boundaries. Political analysts have said the proposed new maps are likely to face legal challenges again this year. All three maps are now law, but next they’ll be presented to a federal court and U.S. attorneys to decide whether they meet anti-discrimination laws before they can be used in the 2012 elections. Democrats predict the General Assembly will have to return to try to redraw boundaries they now say segregate black voters into certain districts to help Republicans win surrounding seats, and by creating ugly-looking and illegal districts. Districts are redrawn every 10 years to reflect population growth reported by the U.S. Census — a 1.5 million increase in North Caroli-

na since 2000. With Republicans holding a majority in both chambers for the first time since 1870, GOP lawmakers want boundaries that will extend their control of the General Assembly and boost their representation on Capitol Hill. According to new state Senate maps, Sen. Andrew Brock will continue to represent all of Davie County and most of Rowan in the 34th District, and his district will pick up northern and eastern Iredell. N.C. Sen. William Purcell’s 25th District will expand into southeastern Rowan County. In the state House, Rep. Fred Steen’s 76th District will gain northeastern Cabarrus County under the proposal. His district also will lose some of southwestern and central Rowan to the 77th District, represented by Rep. Harry Warren.

the tough issues of tax reform and entitlement reform and a lifting of the debt ceiling beyond ... into 2013.” The last point loomed as the biggest obstacle. The House bill cuts spending by $917 billion over a decade, principally by holding down costs for hundreds of government programs ranging from the Park Service to the Agriculture Department and foreign aid. It also provides an immediate debt limit increase of $900 billion, which is less than half of the total needed to meet Obama’s insistence that there be no replay of the current crisis in the heat of the 2012 election campaigns. An additional $1.6 trillion in borrowing authority would be conditioned on passage of at least $1.8 trillion in further a towel, swimsuit, bicycle, helmet, running clothes and water bottle. Bicycles will be stored at the college during the week. Instructors for the camp are David Freeze, a U.S. Association of Track and Field certified coach and certified personal trainer, and Kim Miller, a certified lifeguard, avid swimmer, cyclist and runner. Instruction will be given in running, biking, swimming and transitions. Throughout the week, specialized techniques for improved performance will be taught, and campers will receive individual coaching.

BURGLARIZED FROM 3a Road. He said church members have not yet organized efforts to increase a watch over the church’s premises. “We haven’t devised any plans yet,” he said. “We’ve asked that the Sheriff’s Office beef up patrols.” Church member Brian Atwell said the church had a similar incident three years ago when a group of kids broke into the same entrance and stole a radio and soft drinks. He said he didn’t think the church contacted authorities. Cloninger said churches may be at risk because members aren’t used to burglaries in those locations. “It’s an easy target because most churches don’t have a security system,” he said. “And with a rural congregation, most people don’t think about it. I know I didn’t think about it. That may be the reason why we’re seeing more of an increase in that.” Sheriff Kevin Auten said there may be a slight rise in church-related burglaries, but that the rise hasn’t been significant. “I don’t know that it’s an alarming rate,” Auten said. “I don’t know that it’s a big increase.” Auten said the increase in copper larceny is much greater, but that percentages in church burglaries “can be deceiving.” A Rowan County Sheriff’s Office investigation is under way.

Those deficit reductions would presumably come from cuts to benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare, as well as an overhaul of the tax code generating additional government revenue. The White House and Democrats are readying Reid’s alternative bill, which provides for $2.7 trillion in additional borrowing authority for the Treasury. It also calls for cuts of $2.2 trillion, including about $1 trillion in Pentagon savings that assume the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the House voted, Reid served notice he would stage a vote to kill the legislation almost instantly. “No Democrat will vote for

At first the White House balked at the terms, then relented and began a series of bipartisan negotiations.

John Ramsay Sr. served as a Naval intelligence officer in the Pacific and had been stationed on Guadalcanal on the date of Spoede’s disappearance. An architect by training and also an amateur artist, Ramsay, on July 3, 1943, was painting one of the Corsairs of VMF-213 during his off-duty hours. While Ramsay was painting, the squadron was launched on a combat mission. As Spoede climbed into the cockpit of his fighter, Ramsay quickly made a sketch. Ramsay finished the painting while the squadron was in the air. That evening Ramsay waited by the runway to present the painting to Spoede, but he never arrived. Several days of searching found no sign of the missing pilot, and Ramsay brought the painting home after the war. Over the years, many people who saw the painting would ask about its history. A copy is currently posted on the National Constitution Center website http://constitutioncenter.org /artoftheamericansoldier/. Ramsay went on to be-

come a fellow in the American Institute of Architects and a leading proponent of modernist design in North Carolina until his death in 1991. He also was a Salisbury City Council member. Kerr Craige Ramsay was able to connect many of the dots and determine that it was a painting of Spoede, since he was the only member of the Hellhawks to disappear in a “Thunder Head” on July 3, 1943. “While this painting means a lot to our family, we really think it belongs with the family of Herman Spoede,” John Ramsay Jr. says. “It was my father’s intention to give this historic piece of art to Mr. Spoede when he first painted it. We are simply fulfilling that intent.” On Saturday, John E. Ramsay Jr. and Kerr C. Ramsay will make a presentation of the painting to Robert William Spoede, the youngest and only surviving brother of Herman Spoede. All three of the Spoede brothers served in the military during World War II. “This painting really gives new life to Herman Spoede,”

David Spoede, Herman Spoede’s nephew and Robert Spoede’s son, said in a press release. “I grew up with stories about him, but to learn something new about him 70 years later is incredible. We are so thankful to the generosity of the Ramsay family and will treasure this painting. I know that this will mean so much to my dad.” Herman Spoede was born and raised in Wallis, Texas, a small town in south central Texas that his great-grandfather had founded. He was the oldest son of three boys, and was named after his father. Spoede briefly attended Texas A&M University. However, after taking a flying lesson, Spoede became enamored with flying and left A&M to pursue aviation full time. When World War II started, he immediately enlisted in the Marine Corps to become a fighter pilot. John Ramsay Jr. says only three pilots in the original Hellhawks squadron survived the war.

AREA/CONTINUED

Audience can relate to fate of ‘Prisoner of Second Avenue’ BY DEIRDRE PARKER SMITH dp1@salisburypost.com

If there’s a dearth of laughter in Neil Simon’s 1971 comedy, “The Prisoner of Second Avenue,” it’s only because many of the jokes are so close to 2011 reality. Piedmont Players’ summer production is livened by a strong performance from Gary Thornburg, as Mel, a miserable, uptight, soon-to-be-unemployed New Yorker going crazy over everything. It’s too cold in the bedroom,

it’s too hot on the balcony. The garbage stinks, the German stewardesses next door play music too loud. Mel mopes and whines and rails and rages to patient wife Edna, played with sympathy by Sunny Boone, a newcomer to Piedmont. Edna comes home one day after Mel’s rampage and finds their apartment has been robbed — because she left the door unlocked — and Mel walks in and tells her he’s been fired. The recession of the ’70s meant layoffs and bankruptcy

and high prices, too. Thornburg plays a gamut of emotions, from hysterically funny to hysterical to broken, with power and authenticity. Boone responds in kind. When Mel discovers the robbers even took their Scotch and Valium, it’s all over for him, and he breaks down. Next we see Edna sharply dressed for her new career as a secretary, popping home to feed poor, depressed Mel, on her lunch hour, another huge insult to his abilities. He rants about a huge conspiracy theo-

ry (familiar to every decade) leading Edna to make a desperate call to a psychiatrist. Mel’s brother and three sisters show up, played by Barnet Sherman, another Piedmont newcomer; veterans Nora El Khouri-Spencer and Greer (just Greer); and yet another newcomer, Anissa McNair. One sister is sobbing, one sister is saying, “I told you so,” and the other sister is willing to stand up for her baby brother — to a point. You can imagine the family argument that ensues — who

will take care of Mel and Edna and how much each is willing to contribute. Mel wanders around in a detached state, like a child. But, as in all good comedies, fortunes reverse, as do roles, and the play hits the funny bone again and again. A touch of revenge makes for a happy ending. At two hours, including a 20minute intermission, the play contains some adult language, which is appropriate for the content. If nothing else, you can suffer along with Mel and Edna

and realize that this, too, shall pass. Director and designer Reid Leonard has produced a good evening of entertainment, featuring one of the area’s best actors in a role he was made for. Take time to laugh and cry along with him. “The Prisoner of Second Avenue,” underwritten by Rowan Regional Medical Center, continues tonight and Saturday and Aug. 3-6 at 7:30 p.m. at the Meroney Theater, and Sunday, July 31 at 2:30 p.m. For tickets, call 704-633-5471.

It’s OK to trim crape myrtle now, but not too much BY DARRELL BLACKWELDER For the Salisbury Post

SALISBURY — We’ve experiencing typical summer weather of hot days with scattered showers in the afternoon. Many have called with questions about lawns and gardens. Below are a few questions from Rowan County residents that may be of interest. Q: I have a crape myrtle tree that has limbs with heavy blooms that are getting in the way when I mow. Can I prune them now? A: Yes, these trees can be pruned without damage in late summer and early fall. Light pruning will not kill these established trees. Q: My tomatoes won’t ripen as they should and have a big core. What causes this? A: Gray wall is one of the problems associated with poor nutrition and cloudy weather. It is also associated with excessively hot weather. With the weather we’ve had over the past few weeks, this type of problem can be expected. Q: I have yellow jackets in a couple of places in my lawn. What’s the best way to get rid of them? A: Wait until early morning, just before sunrise; all the insects should be inside the nest and calm. Empty an entire aerosol can of wasp and hornet spray into the hole with one stream. Place a brick or rock over the hole and walk away. Do not use gas to control yellow jackets. Q: I have fresh mulch given to me by a tree company. Can I use it vegetable garden? A: I would not. Compost the material for a year or so and make sure it is well rotted. As the material decomposes, bacteria use the nitrogen in the soil, taking it away from the vegetable plants. Plants often suffer nutrient deficiencies when raw wood is placed near growing plants. Q: When do azaleas and other spring blooming trees and shrubs set their flowers? A: Generally late August and September is the month when these shrubs set their blooms. Be sure to keep them properly irrigated to help them in the process. Q: Are you going to sell rain barrels again? A: Yes, we are taking orders now and expect delivery on Aug. 31. Contact the Extension office at 704-2168970 to place order by Aug. 26. More information and a description of the rain barrel can be found at the Rowan Master Gardener website www.rowanmastergardener.com

Commercial tomato growers and home gardeners are reporting a good crop of tomatoes, such as these at Wetmore Farms.

Pass the mayo: An acre of tomatoes = 85,500 sandwiches ALISBURY — It’s tomato time in Rowan County as many home gardeners have had an ample crop this summer despite our rollercoaster weather. Commercial tomato producers are also experiencing a very good crop this season. Seasoned commercial tomato producers are prepared for the heat and drought that Mother Nature produces during the growing season. In some respects, the heat and drought this summer is sort of a mixed blessing for many tomato producers. Experienced tomato producers are able to meter exDARRELL BLACKWELDER act amounts of water and nutrients necessary for maximum growth and yields. Commercial growers monitor their crop constantly with tissue samples to determine nutritional needs. Excessive downpours Rowan received a few weeks ago are actually a burden for commercial producers, causing tomato fruit to expand and crack, rendering them unsalable. Excessive rain and humidity also provides the perfect medium for foliar disease problems. Lower humidity lessens foliar disease problems, providing better yields and fruit quality. Spider mites have become a serious problem during the heat of the summer. These minute pests literally suck the leaves dry, causing them to turn yellow, reducing yield and quality of the fruit. Most home garden tomato varieties and some commercial varieties have poor fruit set during extremely hot weather conditions. Tomatoes grow best under moderate heat, not excessively hot weather as we are now experiencing. Tomato plants often abort blooms and fruit development is often abnormal with cracks and misshapen fruit. Commercial tomato producers rely on tomato varieties bred to set fruit in hot, arid conditions for their late summer and fall crops. A few growers will have vine ripe tomatoes until frost; late tomatoes in the fall often bring premium prices.

Tomatoes are harvested and ready for grading. Below are a few interesting tomato facts: • In the United States, more tomatoes are consumed than any other single fruit or vegetable. • The Supreme Court in 1893 declared the tomato a vegetable. • Originally cultivated by the Aztecs and Incas as early as 700 A.D., the tomato is native to the Americas. • By the middle of the 19th century, tomatoes were in use across America. By 1842, farm journals were declared the tomato as the “latest craze” in vegetables. • The tomato is in the same family as the potato, pepper, eggplant and petunia. • The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports there are 25,000 tomato varieties. • The largest tomato on record is a 7-pound

monster grown in Oklahoma by Gordon Graham of Edmond, Okla., in 1986. The tomato made sandwiches for 21 people. • California is clearly number one nationally in processed tomato production, growing nine out of every 10 tomatoes processed in the U.S., with a crop value exceeding $547 million. • Each man, woman and child in America consumes almost 80 pounds of tomatoes every year. • A typical tomato truck holds 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, which is about 300,000 tomatoes. • In 2010, North Carolina produced 3,200 acres of tomatoes, representing a $21 million industry. • More than 400 acres of trellised tomatoes are produced in Rowan County. • The average yield in Rowan County is 1,500 25-pound boxes of tomatoes per acre or about 20 tons of marketable tomatoes per acre or approximately 57,000 tomatoes per acre. That would make 85,500 tomato sandwiches using 1,336 quarts of mayonnaise and 8,550 loaves of bread from one acre of tomatoes.

Friends and family remain loyal to the ex Ideas for adding kitchen storage space that you realize this is difficult for your friends and family but say you expect them to behave decently toward you and anyone you bring into the circle. Introduce your new guy to your friends one at a time, starting with the most well behaved person. Dear Amy: My husband died recently. As I grieve for his loss, I cannot be interested in the details of other deaths, though when I try to talk about my husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, people respond by telling me about losses in their lives. Amy, please ask your readers when they are expressing condolences not to immediately follow this with the grim details of other deaths. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help me, and I am in no condition to listen, let alone respond. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Grieving Widow Dear Grieving: I am so sorry for your loss. See how easy that is? And yet, expressing condolences is surprisingly difficult for most people. When feeling uncomfortable, people tend to fill in the blanks with stories about their own lives. But when you have just suffered a terrible loss, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concentrate on someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story. A friend of mine provided a great template for condolence when I had a loss in my life: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so sorry. There are simply no words. How are you feeling?â&#x20AC;? Concentrate on the griev-

ing person. Instead of commiserating by telling a death story, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to keep things simple. This may also involve â&#x20AC;&#x201D; gasp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being quiet. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK to be quiet. Dear Amy: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worried Sibâ&#x20AC;? was concerned about his younger brother who had flunked out of college and was unsure and drifting. You correctly advised him to see if his brother had an eating disorder or was depressed, but he might have other health issues. I flunked out of my first college and went through six jobs in five months. Then I went in for a checkup and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Changes in eating habits and changes in attitude were all part of the cues that led to that assessment. After I got my health back and my condition under control, I got straight Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, graduated with honors and went to law school before embarking on a never-dull career. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tom Dear Tom: Great advice from someone who has been there. Thank you. 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.

Why is it that we never have enough storage space in the kitchen? Perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we accumulate more than we actually use. But regardless, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s examine what can be done to help store or at least organize some of those many things. Sometimes just the right organizing accessories will do the trick. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s check out some products that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently been introduced to. China cabinets were and still are very popular pieces for displaying fancy stemware, but sometimes we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have room for a cabinet in the kitchen. are in-cabinet There stemware holders made by Rev-a-Shelf for Armstrong that attach under your existing cabinets. Those wine goblets will look nice hanging there and will always be conveniently accessible. For more information, visit Revashelf.com.

shaped baskets curve around sink bases, pipes, valves and anything else that might be under there. See more at Sidelinesinc.com. Cabinet pullout drawers are always popular. Some are actually not drawers, but shelves that pull out so you can store and reach kitchen items farther back into the cabinet without having to take out everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in front. There are also racks for cans and food that fit nicely on shelves either in the cabinet or in the pantry. See Organizeit-online.com. What about that drawer where you keep the spatula, ladle, big wooden spoon and other cooking needs? Always a mess, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? There are drawer dividers that you can adjust to fit to the depth of your drawers so you can organize everything, making it easier to find just the tool you need. These drawer dividers come in sets of two. Check out Solutions.com. Just thinking about all these great solutions makes you feel a little more organized already, right?

What about a pullout ironing board that tucks out of sight? It slips under a countertop (or just above a washer or dryer, if we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking about kitchen storage). Once you are finished ironing, the ironing board collapses and slides back under the counter (or between your washer and dryer). This one is called Asko Helper. Visit Hidden Asko.com for more details. Ever had your hands full of garbage and wished you had a third hand to open the cabinet under the sink to get to the wastebasket? Well, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help for that. It is called a Blum Servo-Drive waste-bin system. With a touch of the drawer front, the Servo-Drive drawer opens so you can dump your trash without the use of a third arm. Visit Blum.com. And while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the subject of cabinets under the sink, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it an inconvenience to have all that plumbing in the way so there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough room for all those cleaning supplies?

Dear Amy: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been separated from my husband of 20 years for almost 10 months. The separation was mutual and we have both moved on. We are both in our early 40s and 100 percent sure of our decision. The problem I have is that my friends and family are not OK with this split. My husband and I never talked ASK about our marAMY ital problems, and we always put up a good front when around other people. After we split up, my sister and brother stopped talking to me. My sister has been on a gossip spree about the choice I made to separate. She feels sorry for my ex and wants us back together. On the other hand, although my ex is seeing someone he views as a possible future wife, my friends seem upset over my choice to start a new relationship. My friends asked that I not talk about the man I am seeing. They said they would not speak to him if I brought him to get-togethers. They feel it would be a betrayal to my ex. My children (who encouraged me to separate from my husband) were the only people willing to meet the new man in my life. They love him. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told I should ignore my sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gossiping to maintain a good relationship with her, even though she is not speaking to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not exactly sure how to handle either of these situations. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Separated and Satisfied Dear Separated: If your gossipy and judgmental sister isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speaking to you, maybe you should thank your lucky stars. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stipulate that because no one realized your marriage was on the rocks, this breakup is upsetting and shocking. Reading between the lines Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assuming that you jumped out of your marriage and into this other relationship quickly. You are also facing a cultural double standard, where dads can change partners quickly while moms must wait. I suggest you acknowledge

Police: Woman embezzled more than $100K BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com

KANNAPOLIS—The Mooresville woman charged Tuesday after authorities said she embezzled money from her employer is reported to have stolen at least $100,000. According to the N.C. Court System’s website, Crystal Dawn Overcash has a court date on Sept. 21 on a charge of felony embezzlement of $100,000 or more. Overcash, 37, was arrested and charged with embezzlement by an employee after her employer, Franklin Homes Construction, reported to authorities on Dec. 24, 2010, that they had “uncovered some discrepancies.” Guy and Terri Wing are the owners of Franklin Homes Construction, 2875 Cannon Blvd., Kannapolis, according to the report. Neither Overcash nor the Wing family could be reached for comment Thursday. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office did not disclose the embezzled amount. The report said authorities audited the company’s accounts and found there were “some payments that (the owners) had not intended to pay.” The payments had been made from the company’s business account. According to the report, Overcash, of 4260 Unity Church Road, Mooresville, has been employed by the company since 1999. It is unclear if she was still employed by Franklin Homes Construction at the time of arrest. Overcash was released after posting a $100,000 bond.

WOODLEAF — A Woodleaf party got out of hand Monday night after some of the partyers drew weapons, authorities reported. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported that authorities arrived at 530 Erwin Temple Church Road at about 11 p.m. Monday after a dispute broke out at the party. The report said 20-year-old Sasha Crist had an injury to her arm from a knife at the party. The severity of the injury was not disclosed. Crist and her boyfriend were taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center. She has since been released. An initial investigation by authorities indicated that a group had started a fight at the party and then drew firearms and knives. Authorities did not find any weapons at the scene. No one was arrested. The Sheriff’s Office criminal investigation department is investigating.

END OF AN ERA

An ‘amen’ for Dave Treme When politicians pray alisbury City Council and staff gave Dave Treme a fitting retirement sendoff at City Hall Thursday afternoon. After 25 years as city manager, Treme said it was time to go. In true Treme style, the reception was a prayerful event, with his pastor from Rowan Christian Assembly giving the closing prayer. Before that, Treme did a good deal of praying. For all his years with the city, Treme said, he’s been allowed to share his faith openly. “No one’s told me to quit.” That’s true, and it’s one of the unusual things about David Treme. He has led Salisbury through countless projects, planning sessions, controversies and improvements, all while publicly praying for the city’s success. He did the same as he led the United Way. An elected leader probably could not win acceptance with that approach, though Rowan County Commissioner Jim Sides comes close. It’s part of who they are. Most people are private about their faith and separate it from their business dealings. A few like Treme and Sides are wide open. Whether you give the credit to God or Treme, there’s no denying the city has seen considerable improvements under his watch. He brought a new style of goal-setting to city government and was a master of sticking to the plan. City Councilman Pete Kennedy spoke the truth when he said “Dave gave us the vision” of what Salisbury could be. Council members come and go, but Treme has been a constant force, often appearing to lead the very people elected to lead. He was in control. “There’s wisdom in the counsel of many,” he is prone to say — a tendency Councilman Paul Woodson summed up by calling Treme “one of the best politicians to be a non-politician I’ve ever met.” Under Treme’s leadership, Salisbury has consistently aimed for excellence, from new city buildings to the most recent customer service initiative. City managers don’t please all the people all the time, of course, and no amount of counsel could make the proposed annexation of land on N.C. 150 fly. That, unfortunately, made the city some lasting enemies. The Treme legacy that’s front and center now is the city’s Fibrant broadband service — a project planned during good times and carried out in the shadow of the Great Recession. No one will accuse Treme of coasting his way to retirement, but he did “exit left” before he could declare this part of the job a complete success. That will take a few years. Treme brought a new way of doing business to city government 25 years ago, and it’s time for someone else to do the same. Whether that’s interim manager Doug Paris or someone else, you can bet Dave Treme will be praying for him.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. — Erica Jong

Bible doesn’t say feds should take care of poor exas Republican governor and potential presidential candidate Rick Perry will headline a “Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis” on Aug. 6 at Reliant Stadium in Houston. The ACLU of Texas and liberals are predictably upset. Liberals aren’t against prayer, so long CAL as it advances a secular THOMAS earthly agenda. While wringing their hands and even threatening legal action against the Aug. 6 gathering (the prohibition of which would violate the freedom of assembly, as well as the free exercise of religion clauses of the First Amendment), the ACLU of Texas and its fellow ideological travelers have said nothing about another prayer meeting that took place last week in the White House. Here is how Jim Wallis of the liberal Christian magazine “Sojourners” described that meeting on his website: “I, along with 11 other national faith leaders, met with President Obama and senior White House staff for 40 minutes. We were representing the Circle of Protection, which formed in a commitment to defend the poor in the budget debates. Sitting in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, we opened in prayer, grasping hands across the table, and read scripture together. We reminded ourselves that people of faith must evaluate big decisions on issues like a budget by how they impact the most vulnerable.” Wallis says President Obama mentioned a passage from Matthew 25 where Jesus is talking about “inasmuch as you’ve done it unto the least of these, you’ve done it also

unto me.” There is no indication that Jesus commanded government to be the primary caregiver for the poor. His commission was for those who followed Him to do it, because His objective was not only to fill empty stomachs, but also to fill empty souls. The debate about the role of government vs. the role of the church has long been a tension point between conservatives and liberals in religious circles. If this had been a prayer meeting hosted by conserva-

“Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. ... The prayers of both could not be answered.” ABRAHAM LINCOLN At second inauguration

tive evangelical leaders with President George W. Bush in attendance and the prayers were about conservative social policies, one can safely predict how liberals would have reacted. But since this was about maintaining government spending for social programs favored by liberals, these prayers were no problem for them. Who are the poor? Are they a perpetual underclass that never changes? Are they worse off, or better off than they were in the ’60s when the “War on Poverty” began, a war that has lasted longer than the one in Afghanistan, which is often described as America’s “longest war”? A new report on poverty by The Heritage Foundation has some revealing facts. Compiled by Robert Rec-

LETTERS David Post provides voice of reason Students at Georgetown University and readers of The Salisbury Post are lucky to have David Post as a teacher and editorial page columnist. Post represents the voice of reason in our polarized country, a man who clearly describes the strange things that grow in our current political landscape. His latest column in Thursday’s paper, “Cut, cap and balance,” should be “Read, clip and save.” Thank you, David. I look forward to your next lesson in political science. I have had my fill of political rhetoric. — Pete Prunkl Salisbury

Truly, the horse is out of the barn As a constituent and a long time resident of his district, I know that Rep. Howard Coble is a smart and wise man who surely can understand that the current fight over the debt ceiling was ill-conceived, unnecessary and simply the wrong tact at the wrong time.

TO THE

tor and Rachel Sheffield, “Air Conditioning, Cable TV, and an Xbox: What is Poverty in the United States Today?” references the U.S. Census Bureau, which says the poor population in 2009 was 14.3 percent, five percentage points lower than in 1964 when Lyndon Johnson announced a “War on Poverty.” Today’s poor, however, have a far different profile than they did back then. Rector and Sheffield note: “the average household defined as poor by the government (is) equipped with air conditioning and cable TV. The family had a car ... two color televisions, a DVD player, and a VCR. If there were children in the home (especially boys), the family had a game system, such as an Xbox or PlayStation. ... The typical poor American had more living space than the average European. ... Poor boys today at ages 18 and 19 are actually taller and heavier than middle-class boys of similar age in the late 1950s, and are a full one inch taller and 10 pounds heavier than American soldiers who fought in World War II.” Both liberals and conservatives claim to pray to the same God, but for different results. Abraham Lincoln noted this conflict in his Second Inaugural Address: “Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God; and each invokes His aid against the other. ... The prayers of both could not be answered.” Perhaps what’s needed is less praying for results favorable to one side and more listening to what the One to whom each side is praying has already said. • • • Cal Thomas writes for Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, N.Y. 14207.

We are in dire straits. Whether one believes that government spending is good or bad, that government “is the problem” or that government is a legitimate force in the long-term health of the U.S. economy, anyone — especially someone with Coble’s experience and knowledge — should recognize that politicizing this debt ceiling approval is playing with a weapon of mass destruction. We have already done irreparable damage to our standing in the world markets, and with every passing minute we are counting down to its detonation. Clearly Congress is at an impasse, and the only rational thing, especially in the world economy’s eyes, is to acknowledge that stalemate, raise the debt ceiling and move on to the process of truly addressing

the real problems that are dismantling the U.S. as we know it — jobs, economic opportunity and fairness, and hope for our children. Surely those in Congress who have even an inkling of an understanding of economic theory and the realities of our true economic situation can rise up, join hands and move on with this. I totally respect conservatives’ political right to push their positions for the benefit of whomever they serve; however, this debate is not the venue. Truly, the horse is out of the barn, the money’s been spent, we have no choice but to float it to when the “next credit card statement comes” while trying to generate some true economic recovery so we can pay our bills. — Alan K. Menius Salisbury

ow is it possible for a teacher from New York and a mother from Ohio to meet in North Carolina and publish a book together? I was invited to the Spencer Public Library a few weeks ago to find the answer to that very question. Leah Campion, a mother from Ohio, and Ed Pilgard, a teacher from New York, published the delightful book, “The Adventures of Scoot.” Told through words and photographs, this is a story about a little toy scooter and the adventures he has with his friends. Cyndi Atwell, librarian for the Spencer Public Library, invited Ed and Leah to DICY read their book MCCULLOUGH in July for the summer program. Spencer Public Library is an independent community library, so Cyndi depends upon volunteer presentations, as well as donations of time, money and books. I had a chance to talk with Ed and Leah before their presentation. Since Ed was the photographer, I wanted to find out more about his background in this area. He said both of his parents were artists, but as a boy he wasn’t interested in art, no matter the medium. However, when he turned 16 his father gave him a camera, yet it wasn’t until he was 45 he learned how to use it. Two years ‘SCOOT’ ago, he started taking lessons from Chris Goette, a photographer and teacher in High Point. Ed says, “Chris is an artist with a camera who sees light as his paint brush.” Ed has been a teacher at North Rowan Elementary School for six years. Five years ago, principal Rick Hampton assigned him to the yearbook committee. As an extension of that assignment, Ed started the photography club. Last fall he brought in a little red toy scooter purchased from Walmart, thinking it would make a good prop for photos. Little did he realize what would develop. One of the students in the club, Eliza Martinez, began dressing up the scooter in costumes. Slowly the character of Scoot began to emerge. Other students who took an interest in this project were Leah’s daughters, Abby and Kerry, as well as Alexis Cortez and Spencer Gettys. Even though Leah often volunteered her time with the photography club, it wasn’t until she noticed the photos of Scoot on Facebook that she messaged Ed, telling him she saw a story developing. Ed messaged back saying that he couldn’t write a story. Having a B.A. degree in English, with a concentration in creative writing, Leah said she’d be happy to write it. Before moving to North Carolina, Leah had worked mostly in city government, but this now gave her an opportunity to use her expertise for children. I sat with the children on that July afternoon and listened to Ed and Leah read the story of Scoot. Afterwards, the children played games and had refreshments. They also had a time to reflect and imagine what adventures Scoot would have next. Some of the suggestions were Hawaii and the beach. I suppose only Ed and Leah know when and where Scoot will “adventure” next. As a result of a simple idea and the right people coming together, the “Scoot” book is now a reality. Ed is quick to say, “The students were the ones responsible for the idea. The adults only brought it together.” Listening to the story, I saw the results of two people, and in this case, two people and five children, who worked together to “develop” an idea into something beautiful. It was indeed a fun day at the Spencer Library, and I’m sure if you ask Scoot, he will say it was too. If you’re interested in learning more about this book, it can be found on “The Adventures of Scoot” Facebook page. • • • Dicy McCullough, a writer and poet, lives in Rowan County.

N. Meck. wins in Alumni tourney BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

CHINA GROVE — Titus I v o r y N. Meck. 81 smiles even Carson 56 before the question is voiced, because he always know what’s coming when he sees a reporter with a notepad approaching. Ivory is almost 32 now — thicker and less springy than the 21-year-old who led Penn State to a monumental 2001 NCAA tourney upset of North Carolina in New Orleans. “That was a long time back, but everyone still seems to remember,” he said. “Yeah, people do bring it up, but I don’t ryaN Bisesi/salisbury post avery patterson, center, goes up for a basket while dylan mind. That night is something I’ll always be proud of.”

Kosinski, right, looks on.

It was a great story. A North Mecklenburg graduate, Ivory wanted to go to North Carolina. The Tar Heels weren’t interested, so he ended up as an All-Big Ten performer for the Nittany Lions. “Carolina had recruited my buddy Antawn (Jamison),” Ivory explained. “I thought I was good enough to go there too.” Ivory had the last laugh. Ivory directed another win on Thursday, although one of lesser magnitude than his vanquishing of a Tar Heel team that included giants Brendan Haywood and Kris Lang. This time Ivory was the floorleader/coach for a North Mecklenburg alumni team that pulled away from Carson

81-56 in the opening game of Scooter Sherrill’s Alumni Throwback Tournament. Ivory has recently gone to work for U.S. Airways after a decade-long pro career overseas. His roundball skills carried him to jobs in Italy, Lithuania, Belgium, Israel and The Philippines, and it’s easy to see why he was successful. The 6-foot-4 muscleman didn’t shoot a lot, but he was skilled and powerful enough physically to get anywhere on the court he wanted to go. “I’ve lost some quickness, so I have to use my body more,” Ivory said with a laugh. North Meck is replacing Davie in this year’s Throwback event. Ivory said he got a call from Sherrill about a month ago, but the North

Meck squad isn’t just a rag-tag band of guys who got to know each other on the drive to China Grove. They’ve played together in Charlotte leagues, and they were a more cohesive unit than Carson, a mix of Cougars and Kannapolis guys who fired up 3s on more than half of their possessions. Scoring machine Avery Patterson, who starred at A.L. Brown and was a starter at St. John’s for a season, scored 22 points and kept things interesting for a half. The turning point came when point guard Reggie Graham (21 points) arrived in the gym late in the first half and put on a white No. 23 jersey. A lefty with vision and sever-

Are drivers athletes? BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News Service

Twitter, the invention that allows human beings to connect with other human beings via short, misspelled messages, has become quite popular among celebrities — especially celebrity athletes. Why talk when you can tweet? Having actual verbal conversations with people is so 1990. Of course all it takes is one tweet to get a lot of people squawking, and that was the case recently when a professional football player revived the debate over whether or not racecar drivers are athletes. Seattle Seahawks wideout Golden Tate started a controversy when he tweeted that NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson, who also has an Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year title to go with five consecutive Sprint Cup championships, is not an athlete. His first tweet said, “driving a car does not show athleticism” and later added “Gurantee (sic) he couldn’t in million year (sic) play any SPORT. I’ve driven a car on unknown roads at night at 90 mph no big deal. No sign of athletism (sic). Naturally NASCAR fans and some drivers took offense, letting Tate know he knows not of what he tweets. Johnson has invited Tate, a Notre Dame alum, to come to the track and find out what it’s all about, while other NASCAR competitors insist the skill it takes to negotiate a machine around asphalt for four hours make them athletes. OK, let’s clear this up once and for all. If you go by the definition of “athlete” provided by the Merriam-Webster dictionary, racecar drivers are, indeed, athletes. Here it is: “A person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports or games requiring physical strength, agility or stamina.” Although I’ve never driven 500 miles on a closed course at 180 miles per hour, I can safely say the feat at least requires agility and stamina, if not physical strength. Granted, it’s not enough evidence to stop people from arguing about it because determining what an athlete is or is not is clearly the most important issue facing our world today. Those who insist NASCAR is not a sport and drivers are not athletes will point out the fact that anyone can drive. This is not true. Take I-85 from Greenville, S.C. to Atlanta and over the

on thursday, UNc athletic director dick Baddour, left, stepped down at a press conference a day after chancellor Holden thorp, right, fired Butch davis.,

Baddour out, Withers in at UNC BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina is now looking for a new permanent football coach and athletic director. A day after the school fired Butch Davis amid an NCAA investigation into his program, Dick Baddour said Thursday he will step down after 14 years running the 28-sport department. In the final year of a three-year contract extension that expires in June, Baddour will stay until the school can hire

a replacement because he wants his successor to select the next coach instead of inheriting a hire. “It is my responsibility to do what is in the best interest of the program, and this is my decision,” Baddour said in a news conference to discuss Davis’ firing. The school also promoted defensive coordinator Everett Withers to interim head coach later Thursday. Chancellor Holden Thorp said Baddour will attend the school’s hearing before the NCAA infractions committee

in October, then serve out his contract in another position once the school hires a replacement. Baddour’s departure adds to a bumpy year for North Carolina as the NCAA investigated improper benefits and academic misconduct within a program seemingly positioned to contend for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and a BCS bowl. Fourteen players missed at least one game, and seven were forced to sit the entire season. The NCAA’s notice of

allegations outlined nine potential major violations last month, though none tied to Davis. Thorp said he fired Davis after four seasons because of cumulative damage to the university’s reputation in a year of embarrassing revelations. Some were serious, such as the $31,500 in financial transfers from late NFL agent Gary Wichard to former associate head coach John Blake, though Blake’s attorneys have described them as loans from one friend to another during financial trouble. Other issues

appeared more trivial, such as key players racking up thousands of dollars of campus parking tickets over a fouryear period. In the end, however, the reports just kept piling up. Thorp admitted the firing was “terrible” timing as players open practice next week, but said he had mulled the move for weeks and decided it couldn’t wait any longer. Thorp and Baddour had publicly supported Davis for the past year, so much so that

College higher-ups always the last to know BY JIM LITKE Associated Press

Details of a widening scandal have been oozing out of North Carolina’s football program like toothpaste from the tube for a solid year. Tweets from players about champagne flowing like water at a party underwitten by agents. An assistant accused of acting as a runner for another agent. A tutor once employed by head football coach Butch Davis to

work with his own teenage son helping players write papers and paying off their parking tickets. Apparently, none of it bothered UNC chancellor Holden Thorp until he tried brushing his teeth in front of a mirror the other day. So ask yourself: How is it that the college poobahs are always the last to know? “What started as a purely athletic issue,” Thorp said when he finally got around to firing Davis, “has begun to chip away at this university’s

reputation.” C h i p away? With all due respect, chancellor, the rest of us are already in the deepd r i l l i n g THORP phase. Chipping away is what happened last July, when the aforementioned tweet by Marvin Austin — suspended for all of last season and then scooped up in the NFL draft — put the

NCAA gumshoes on UNC’s trail. Now, instead of being a school that could justifiably boast about doing things “the Carolina way,” North Carolina looks like every other school desperate to grab the handfuls of cash floating around college sports while trying to stay a step ahead of the authorities. Somehow, running one of the most successful, not to mention cleanest, basketball programs in the land for decades wasn’t enough. UNC wanted to be a football facto-

ry, too. It doesn’t take a math major — nor like Thorp a Ph.D in chemistry — to compare the rosters in the two sports and know that the risk to a school’s reputation increases six-fold. Just ask Oregon, where the wheels are already turning furiously. We’ve been down this road plenty of times before. Ohio State and Tennessee, to name just two, are traveling it even as you read this, eager to persuade the NCAA not to add to

Former 49er charged

Patriots acquire big names Associated Press FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Chad Ochocinco’s next stop is New England after an offseason in which he had a soccer tryout, rode a bull, took a spin in a race car and waited to be tradOCHOCINCO ed. That wait ended on Thursday when the outspoken wide receiver was dealt to the Patriots, a team coached by Bill Belichick, who closely monitors, and tries to control, his players’ public comments. A person with knowledge of the trade said the Patriots obtained the colorful Ochocinco from Cincinnati and that he agreed to a new three-year contract. It was not known what the Bengals received in return. The person spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because neither team had announced the trade. The deal was first reported by ESPN. It was the second major move by the Patriots, who earlier in the day obtained Albert Haynesworth, the disgruntled Washington Redskins defensive tackle, for a fifth-round draft pick in 2013. BUSH TO DOLPHINS MIAMI — Nine years later, the Miami Dolphins have again traded for a New Orleans Saints running back who won the Heisman Trophy. This time it’s Reggie Bush. The Dolphins completed a trade for Bush on Thursday by negotiating a new contract with him. Saints coach Sean Payton confirmed the deal, which sends reserve safety Jonathon Amaya to New Orleans and also involves an exchange of undisclosed draft picks. Miami acquired former Heisman winner Ricky Williams from the Saints in

THORP FROM 1B the pile of punishments they’ve already heaped on themselves. That’s what axing Davis and the retirement of longtime UNC athletic director Dick Baddour — who like Thorp stood squarely behind the coach until now — were about. To call what’s happening at North Carolina a mess isn’t forward-looking enough. It won’t be cleaned up for years. The school still owes Davis as much as $2.7 million. As recently as Monday, he was at the Atlantic Coast Conference media day talking about his plans for the coming season. He again said then that he didn’t know about the improprieties, and even in firing him, Thorp said he believed Davis. To be fair, the NCAA’s notice

2002, with mixed results. KOLB TO ARIZONA PHILADELPHIA — Kevin Kolb is a No. 1 quarterback again. The Philadelphia Eagles have traded Kolb to the Arizona Cardinals for cornerback Dominique RodgersCromartie and a secondround pick in 2012. Kolb began last season as the heir-apparent to Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia, but he went down with a concussion in the opener, losing his job to Michael Vick in the process. The Cardinals have been looking for an answer at quarterback since Kurt Warner retired following the 2009 season.

RACING INDIANAPOLIS — Crown Royal wants to take its shot in a new NASCAR venue. On Thursday, the distiller said it had agreed to become the new title sponsor of the Brickyard 400. Track and company officials did not provide financial details, saying only that it was a multiyear contract. This year’s Brickyard 400 is scheduled for Sunday. Starting in 2012, the race will be renamed the Crown Royal “Your Hero’s Name Goes Here” 400 at the Brickyard. The company plans to hold a contest to select the fan’s name that will be incorporated into the title, as it did previously at Richmond. “We’ll continue to look for ways to partner with Richmond as we move forward, but at this time, we’re focusing on the Brickyard,” said Heather Boyd, the company’s senior brand manager. “The NASCAR community has always been very important to Crown Royal and has been very loyal to our business. We’re still trying to figure out how to engage that moving forward.” Overall, though, Crown Royal is expected to reduce the amount of money it spends in Sprint Cup next season.

of allegations in June outlined nine potential major violations and none were tied to Davis. No matter. Last year went south after the season-long suspension of seven players — including three who were picked in the first two rounds in the NFL draft — and this one is heading fast in the same direction. What that means for recruiting efforts in the next few seasons — even if UNC doesn’t lose any scholarships — practically guarantees at least five more years of mediocrity. Speaking of time, it’s been a dozen years now since university presidents took control of the NCAA with a mandate to clean up the shady dealings in the two big revenue-producing sports and sign a truce on “an athletic arms race.” What they did instead was hide the brooms, ramp up their own budgets and promise to behave better.

GOLF JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tiger Woods finally gets back to golf next week at the Bridgestone Invitational, ending an 11-week break to heal injuries to his left leg. Woods used his website to announce his return on Thursday. He posted on his Twitter account that he’s “feeling fit and ready to tee it up at Firestone next week. Excited to get back out there!” It marks the third-longest layoff of his career, only this time Woods returns with as much uncertainty about his future as ever. Along with questions about the strength of his left knee and Achilles’, Woods embarks on his latest comeback with a different caddie, and without guarantees he will be eligible for more than two weeks. US SENIOR OPEN TOLEDO, Ohio — Olin Browne has circled the globe playing professional golf for the past 27 years. He knows it takes a lot more than 18 holes and a lucky shot to win a major championship. “Are you ready to give me the trophy today?” he asked an observer who wondered why he was so nonchalant about leading the U.S. Senior Open by two shots. “That’s why.” Browne eagled two holes in a five-hole span coming down the stretch and finished with a 7-under 64 Thursday to take the top spot on a hot and humid day at Inverness Club.

NBA TULSA, Okla. — Kevin Durant says he is “about 5050” on playing overseas if the NBA lockout lasts. The league scoring champion from the Oklahoma City Thunder hopes the work stoppage is settled in time for a full season, but says he’ll “have to think about” playing elsewhere if that doesn’t happen.

The scandals look the same now as they did then: academic fraud, cheating coaches, corner-cutting recruiters, athletes devising schemes to get paid and agents hanging around preying on easy marks. The only real difference is that the top college brass now must stand in front of microphones and explain why they didn’t know, let alone act, when they should have. “We tried to hold things together and restore confidence in the football program, and I felt in order for us to have a fair chance for that, I would have to support coach Davis,” Thorp said. “I’ve come to the conclusion that we’ve given that enough time, and now it’s time for us to take the actions that we’re taking.” Like everything else about this story from the start, chancellor, too late.

Josh Doby slams one home for two of his 10 points Thursday. Doby also drained a pair of 3s.

The highlight for Carson — and the crowd — came when Doby hammered down a dunk on a follow with 11:53 left to lift Carson within 4035. But barely three minutes after that, Ivory, Graham and hot-shooting Tory New had pushed North Meck’s lead to double digits. Then Carson ran out of gas, and it got onesided. “It happened really fast,” said Doby. “We were down six, I came out and got some water, and when I got back we were down 18. I felt like we had enough to compete with anybody here, but that’s a very tough team.” Carson won’t play again until Saturday. North Meck tangles with West Rowan tonight at 7:45 p.m.

FROM 1B al different gears, Graham immediately started carving up defenders with drives and slick passes. “I’m happy he got here,” Ivory said. “He changed the tempo and the momentum.” Carson’s Josh Doby, who had 10 points — two dunks and two 3-pointers — agreed Graham was the difference. “That guy was tough,” he said. “He was so smooth. He’d go fast, but then he’d break you down slow.” Carson trailed 31-27 at halftime, and it was 31-30 when Patterson struck from long distance to open the second half. But North Meck focused its defense on Patterson after that and shut him out the next 15 minutes. “Avery’s very good,” Ivory said. “But we were able to let him settle for a lot of 3s and didn’t allow him to really get going the way he can.”

I’ve really thought about this whole “what makes an athlete an athlete” issue long and hard and here’s what I’ve determined: I don’t care. If you think NASCAR is a sport and think drivers are athletes, that’s fine. If you do not think NASCAR is a sport and do not think drivers are athletes, that’s fine. Watch sports you want to watch, even if some people don’t consider them sports. Cheer for athletes you want to cheer for, even if not everyone considers them athletes. It just doesn’t matter, folks.

He was a horse. And he couldn’t drive at all. Well, maybe he could drive an automatic, but certainly not stick shift.

STATESVILLE — A former college basketball star has been arrested and accused of operating a sophisticated marijuana growing operation from his North Carolina home. Thirty-one-year-old Rodney White was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Iredell County. White is facing conspiracy to manufacture marijuana and other charges. He was arrested this week at his home with Nicole Jackson, who also is also facing drug charges. Investigators did not say what her relationship was to White. Sheriff’s Capt. Darren Campbell said police found an elaborate underground bunker for growing pot at White’s home. Inside were grow lights, drying racks and planting materials. Police also found firearms. “Anytime you can get a plant to pollinate and grow out of a building, it’s pretty sophisticated. You have to have lights, you have to have a water system,” he said. Campbell said three young children were in the house when White and Jackson were arrested.

BADDOUR FROM 1B Davis said Monday at the ACC preseason media days in Pinehurst that it was “reassuring” to have their backing. “We tried to hold things together and restore confidence in the football program, and I felt in order for us to have a fair chance for that, I would have to support coach Davis,” Thorp said. “I’ve come to the conclusion that we’ve given that enough time, and now it’s time for us to take the actions that we’re taking.” Thorp said the university could owe Davis as much as $2.7 million in contractual obligations that run through 2015. That could be voided if the school found he was involved in the violations, though Thorp said he anticipated the school wouldn’t dismiss Davis “for cause.” Thorp said he didn’t believe Davis knew about potential violations, but would only repeat that statement when pressed on whether Davis should’ve known as head coach. “We recognize that $2.7 million may be what this ends up costing us,” Thorp said. “I’ve reached the conclusion that ... the athletics program will need to pay whatever it is we need to pay to make the separation happen.”

Does Atkins or Gott have the right diet plan? have seen the loss of a few pounds by now if your diet is going to work. As I am sure you already know, I, too, have embraced a “no-flour, no-sugar diet” regimen for many years. The difference between my plan and that of Dr. Atkins is that I endorse fresh fruits and vegetables, poultry, fish, one egg a week, and lean cuts of meat. Almost 70 percent of American adults, as well as an alarming number of children, are overweight. We have access to fast-food chains and have a hundred reasons in any given day why it is easier to eat out than prepare healthful meals at home. And, according to the American Obesity Association, those who are extremely obese have a greater than 70 percent chance of developing coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol levels and certain types of cancer. While my books have many recipes for delicious meals, you can take steps on your own and expect a gradual weight loss of about 1 to 2 pounds a week. Losing weight in this healthful way will allow you to keep the weight off forever. Snack on fresh vegetables from the refrigerator that are immediately available when you feel an urge to eat. Raw carrots, broccoli, peppers and other vegetables can be stored in resealable bags or containers. Trim the fat from your meats prior to broiling them. Make pasta and other starches an occasional treat, not a daily staple. Avoid the deli case at your local market. Think of your diet as a positive commitment to bettering yourself. Learn to make healthier food choices when shop-

ping. Couple this with an exercise program. This doesn’t mean you have to work out at a gym with people who don’t look as if they have to lose a single pound. Just take a walk around the block, ride a stationary bike while watching the news or your favorite TV show, or take the stairs instead of the elevator when you have a chance. Your body will thank you for it, and you should see those pounds disappear. Readers who would like additional information can order my Health Report “A Strategy for Losing Weight: Introduction to the No Flour, No Sugar Diet” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O. Box 433, Lakeville, CT 06039. Be sure to mention the title, or print an order form from my website’s direct link: www.AskDrGottMD.com/order—form.pdf.

Dear Dr. Gott: I started the Atkins diet three weeks ago. So far I haven’t lost anything. I’m trying to decide whether to continue. Basically it is no flour, no sugar, very restricted vegetables and no fruit. I am 72 and take medication for blood pressure, osteoporosis and cholesterol. I respect DR. PETER your opinion and hope you GOTT will respond. Dear Reader: The Atkins diet is essentially a low-carbohydrate, high-protein method of weight loss. It was named after Dr. Robert Atkins, who allowed steak withbearnaise sauce, bacon, eggs, Roquefort dressing and cheddar cheese in his plan. The diet was based on the theory that obese individuals consume too many carbohydrates. Since our bodies burn fat and carbs as an energy source, carbs are used first. By reducing carbohydrates and consuming more fat and protein, our bodies will naturally lose weight by burning stored fat. Dr. Atkins, an overweight cardiologist, first developed his diet theory in the early 1970s. His first book, “Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution,” stated that he followed his diet plan himself. At age 72, he slipped on ice while walking to work, hitting his head. This caused bleeding around the brain. Controversial reports from his medical records instead indicate a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension — records his wife denies as falsehoods. In any event, you should

Add together the hand strengths BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Louis Pasteur, a famous French chemist and microbiologist who died in 1895, said, "Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity." Being tenacious is good, but at the bridge table it also helps to have high-card power. In today's deal, look only at the North hand. Your partner opens one heart, you respond one spade, and he rebids two hearts. What would you do now? South should open one heart. With 11 high-card points, an excellent sixcard suit and two aces, that hand has the necessary strength. When South rebids two hearts, he guarantees a six-card

suit and indicates at best 14 high-card points. With 10 points, responder would invite game if the partnership could have a combined holding of 25 or 26 points or the fit was particularly good. Here, though, North

knows that they have at most 24 points and that the fit is bad. North should pass, and do so in tempo, in the hope that East unwisely balances. Then North can double anything East or West reaches. How should the play proceed in two hearts? West leads the diamond jack. East takes dummy's queen with his ace and returns his diamond six. South has four sure losers: one spade, two diamonds and one club. So he can afford only one trump loser. After taking dummy's diamond king, declarer should immediately play a heart to his queen. This succeeds whenever East has king-third or kingfourth. Low to the 10 on the first round wins only when East has jack-third, which is less likely.

Provided you don’t take on more than you can handle, your prospects for the coming months look extremely encouraging. Do all the necessary homework and weed out all the money wasters first, before you make any moves. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be leery of someone who attempts to involve you in a game of one-upsmanship, especially if money is involved. Chances are that he has experience or expertise he isn’t telling you about. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Even if you believe you have money to burn, handle your finances with prudence and caution. Deal only with the realities at hand and don’t count on Lady Luck carrying you to victory. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Fence sitting could get you into a lot of trouble, and we’re not just talking sore haunches. Either take a firm position on a critical issue or don’t get involved at all. You don’t need any additional complications. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Avoid talking too freely to a friend about a matter that is supposed to be confidential. Although you usually can trust this person, she or he might misunderstand and spread the news. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you are too easily put upon by friends, a certain pal could palm off a difficult job on you that he or she is avoiding because of the responsibility involved. Know what you’re getting into. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Try to keep the needs and interests of your pals on the same level as your own. If you put your wants ahead of those of others, you will quickly alienate their friendship. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Nothing will be accomplished if you aren’t as persevering as you should be in regards to your plans. Throwing in the towel because of a few impediments is folly. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be wary if you’re offered something on the side for going along with a secret deal. It could turn out to be nothing but sugar coating that will turn sour at a moment’s notice. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Going against your better judgment is foolish and you know it, so regardless of your reasons for wanting to do so, back off. When you start ignoring your common sense, you’re in trouble. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Demanding the impossible from a person on whom you palmed off a difficult job is wrong, and you know it. Give him or her the same space you would have wanted for yourself. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Be wary of a merchandiser who is representing something as a bargain when, in fact, he might be merely dumping it because of some hidden imperfections. Shop wisely. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Frustrations will result if you aren’t realistic about the objectives you establish for yourself. If they are too overwhelming or beyond your scope of expertise, you should hire a pro.

Active weather will continue over multiple areas of the Eastern US on Friday, while sunny and dry weather will persist in the Western US. Tropical Storm Don in the Gulf of Mexico will continue moving northwesterly towards Texas bringing heavy rain along the Texas coast late Friday evening. In addition, tropical moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will continue to push onshore triggering showers and thunderstorms in the South and Southeast. Meanwhile, high pressure settled over the southeastern corner of the country will continue to bring hot and humid weather to most of the eastern half of the United States with temperatures reaching over 100, and heat indices between 110 to 120 degrees. To the north, a low pressure system will push a frontal boundary extending from the Great Lakes to the Central Plains kicking up showers and thunderstorms. High moisture content will aid the development of storms along this front, with possible severe thunderstorms in the Central Plains. In addition, another frontal boundary will move through the Northeast producing additional showers and thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are possible over the New England states. To the west, high pressure positioned over the Great Basin region will continue to bring sunny and dry weather to most of the western half of the US. However, monsoon moisture in the Southwest will kick up scattered showers across the Four Corners and Central Rockies.
