Workers unhappy with ABC manager

Charity picking

BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — An employee opinion survey by the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board returned positive scores but raised several concerns about its general manager.

The Employers Association conducted the anonymous survey of 27 employees on March 16. It then interviewed the same employees on April 6 and 7.

The employees ranked various aspects of their work and workplace from 1 to 5. The ABC board received a 3.38 average.

The highest ratings went to job training, physical work conditions, work environment safety, job fit and equipment and supplies.

The employees gave the lowest ratings for management TERRY OSBORNE communication, General manager store communication, performance feedback, promotion standards and morale.

Their comments included several criticisms of General Manager Terry Osborne.

According to the executive summary by

“I respect every employee’s opinion and have always encouraged them to communicate any concerns to me or their manager.”

Black said gleaning is a “very Biblical” experience, referring to the Old Testament practice.

Deuteronomy 24:19 says “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be left for the alien, the orphan, and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your undertakings.

Ann Hester, of Charlotte, brought along her mother, Beverly Hester, and 14-year-old daughter, Kate Fialko, to glean Saturday.

Beverly said it was her first time gleaning. She was in town visiting the family and was heading back to Raleigh so she decided to join in.

“I think it’s a great idea to use this food to help others” she said. “And it was right on the way.”

But Kate is no stranger to gleaning. Saturday was her

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ending a perilous stalemate, President Barack Obama and congressional leaders announced a historic agreement Sunday night on emergency legislation to avert the nation’s first-ever financial default.

The dramatic resolution lifted a cloud that had threatened the still-fragile economic recovery at home — and it instantly powered a rise in financial markets overseas.

The agreement would slice at least $2.2 trillion from federal spending over a decade, a steep price for many Democrats, too little for many Republicans. The Treasury’s authority to borrow would be extended beyond the 2012 elections, a key objective for Obama, though the president had to give up his insistence on raising taxes on wealthy Amer-

Incumbents in Faith face challenges from newcomers

BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

FAITH — Three newcomers will take on four incumbents for five slots on the Faith Board of Alderman.

Mayor Keith Deal, Mayor Pro Tem Todd Peeler and Alderman Bill Johnson and Gary Gardner are vying to keep their seats on the board.

Mark Shores, who is currently serving his 10th term, is not seeking re-election.

Gay Sanderson, Ronald Mauzy and Mike Hibler are making their first bids for political office.

The incumbents agree they would like to continue serving on the board

to build momentum for priorities they have already set.

“There is a good bond with all the members of the board,” Peeler, 48, said. “We all seem to have the same goals in mind.

One of those goals is holding the tax rate steady without slashing services to the town.

“This year we did pretty good despite the economic times, we maintained the tax rate and kept all the services we have,” Gardner, 64, said.

“I’m looking to continue that.”

Johnson, 52, said the board has strived to manage town expenses in a cost-effective manner.

“We continue to investigate eco-

nomical avenues to provide services by partnering with Granite for police protection and bring others services in-house,” he said. “I believe we still have work to do and enjoy working with the alderman to represent our town.”

Deal, 56, said with a large senior citizen population he thinks it is even more important to keep taxes at an affordable rate.

“We know it’s a hard time for everybody right now in this recession and we’re trying to keep the tax down as low as we can get it,” he said.

Deal and Peeler said they want to continue working to ensure the

town’s newly-created public works department is properly utilized.

Peeler said the fulltime public works director partners with the volunteer fire department.

“They do a whole lot of town work for us that results in less outsourcing, which means a cost savings for the town,” he said. “We’ll be able to do everything in house.”

Mauzy, 39, said he opted to run for a spot on the board because he wants to “maintain the small town charm and values that exist in

Faith.”

If elected, he plans to focus on improving the safety and security of the town by ramping up public safety efforts.

Sanderson, 64, would like to shift some of the emphasis to senior citizens who reside in the town.

She is also interested in making the town more vibrant place to live.

More info released on Deal Road robbery SALISBURY — The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office released more information Sunday about arrest of a man charged in connection with the armed robbery of a family on Deal Road.

The Sheriff’s Office charged Roderick Darnell Hardin, 38, of 421 Walnut Ave., Indian Trail, with felony robbery with a dangerous weapon and six counts of seconddegree kidnapping Saturday.

Shortly after 8 p.m. July 21 two armed men approached Scott Beaver and his family at their Mooresville home.

The men forced them inside, where they bound Beaver’s wife, Shirley, and grandson, Nick Fowler. Three small children were told to lie on the floor.

The men forced Beaver to unlock his safe before leaving in a gold-colored four-door car with a large amount of money.

Detectives arrested Hardin at a storage unit in Charlotte on Saturday, where he was storing the money inside a child’s toy box be-

longing to the Beavers.

Investigators received information that the suspects had come from Charlotte.

After finding out Hardin had rented a storage unit on Monroe Road, detectives from Rowan County began working with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation.

The agencies began surveillance on the storage unit.

Hardin arrived at the unit about 2 p.m. Saturday.

He was arrested and transported back to Rowan County where he was placed in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $1.5 million secured bond.

The second gunman has not been arrested, but police say more arrests are expected.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Lt. Chad Moose at 704-216-8687, Detective Adam Loflin at 704-2168686, or Crime Stoppers at 1866-639-5245.

John and barbara bradley and granddaugter, Kaitlyn, of Concord, stand outside their 37-foot rv at Dan Nicholas Park campground, where they have camped 12 times this year so far.

More locals are camping at Dan Nicholas With gas prices rising, the nearby camp is an economical way to enjoy the tranquil woods

BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

ALISBURY — Some might picture an “RV getaway” as a romantic or adventurous trek across the country — as in, load up the camper (or that sleek silver Airstream travel trailer), hit the highway and find a new place to stop every night.

But these days, many of the campers who drive or pull their rigs into the campground at Dan Nicholas Park aren’t warriors of the open road.

They’re North Carolinians, some from only a few miles away, enjoying a “staycation” or a break from the ordinary.

“A lot of folks like the serenity in this area,” said Pete Viselli, campground staff member at Dan Nicholas Park.

Along with cabins and traditional tent campsites, there are 12 “pull-thru” spots for recreational vehicles and tow-behind campers.

With all the comforts of home — air conditioning, running water and nearby bath houses — families can enjoy the woods for a reasonable price, Viselli said.

On a walk-through of the campground last Saturday, he pointed out the relatively low number of out-of-state tags on the vehicles.

Dan Nicholas Park draws a large number of out-of-state visitors, Viselli said.

But many North Carolinians are camping close to home.

“Gas prices have a lot to do with it,” Viselli said.

So does proximity to home. Take Barbara and John Bradley of Concord, for example.

“We first started coming here (to Dan Nicholas) in March of ’08,” Barbara said.

Though temperatures were in the upper 90s outside, the Bradleys’ 37-foot Everest RV was cool as could be.

While the couple sat in their seats, their granddaughter Kaitlyn, 5, played with stuffed animals on the carpet of their minia-

The Bradleys’ RV is spacious, complete with a flat-screen TV, an electric fireplace and a kitchenette.

“We love camping,” Barbara said. “It doesn’t matter where we go.”

But they said they like Dan Nicholas Park because there are many activities to be done.

Kaitlyn has been taking swimming lessons, and she also enjoys the park’s splash pad.

Since the campground is just about 30 miles from home, Barbara said it’s nothing to pick up their granddaughter and hit the road.

They spoke highly of the campground and park staff. “Everybody treats us real well,” John said.

SALISBURY — City Council will administer the oath of office Tuesday to Interim City Manager Doug Paris after today’s retirement of David Treme, who served as city manager for more than 25 years.

City Council will administer the oath at 4 p.m. in City Hall, 217 S. Main St. Next week, the city’s search firm, Springstead and Associates, will begin carrying out the Council’s directive to solicit input from residents about what they want in a new city manager.

Springstead will host a meeting at 5 p.m.

Aug. 10 in City Hall to receive input concerning the qualities, qualifications and experience City Council should consider when selecting the next leader of city government.

The public is encouraged to attend.

For more information concerning the meeting, contact John Anzivino, senior vice president of Springstead at 804-726-9750 or Zack Kyle, human resources director for the city of Salisbury, at 704-638-5217.

Also at Tuesday’s meeting, City Council will: • Recognize the student participants in the Summer Youth Employment Program.

• Consider awarding a $196,500 contract to Carolina Industrial Equipment for the purchase of a Johnston model VT-650 Street Sweeper.

• Consider awarding a $91,705 contract to James River Equipment for the purchase of a John Deere 410J Backhoe Loader.

• Consider authorizing the mayor to execute a Supplemental Municipal Agreement with the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a time extension for construction of Grants Creek Greenway Phase 2, Project EB-3308.

• Hear comments from Paris.

Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-7974264.

Their only complaint: the trees sometimes make it difficult to navigate their vehicle into the space.

Still, they’re hooked on Dan Nicholas Park.

Though Barbara said they plan to travel to Michigan, where they’re originally from, later this year, they have already camped at Dan Nicholas Park 12 times this year alone.

At the campground, everybody’s welcome.

Top-of-the-line RVs sit side-by-side with more modest campers and travel trailers.

Richard Kendrick, now living in Danville, Va., brought his RV down to meet up with friends from Rockwell and Salisbury.

He said he’s owned his 1994 Fleetwood Bounder RV for six years.

“I tent-camped before that, but tents don’t have A/C,” Kendrick said.

Not only is camping cheaper than staying in a hotel, he said, but it’s more relaxing.

And Dan Nicholas Park is inviting, he said. “It’s clean, it’s quiet, and that’s the main thing,” he said, sitting outside in the shade of nearby trees and the awning that folds out from the side of the trailer.

The park is also drawing guests from farther away.

Shannon Goodman of Statesville is one of the founding members of the Iredell County Camping Club.

With the logo on the side of his camper, he sits in a high-backed folding chair under the awning.

He’s got utensils out on the table next to him, ready for grilling. His son, Justin, 4, plays nearby.

He’s a volunteer firefighter at Trinity Fire Department in Statesville. When he gets time off, he said, he tries to enjoy his camper as much as possible.

And that often involves going to campgrounds.

“We go out about five times a year,” Goodman said. “We may go to Boone’s KOA. We try to go to Myrtle Beach at least once a year.”

This was the Goodman family’s first trip to Dan Nicholas.

“I found this place through some guys who came here in May,” he said.

“This place offers a lot of things for kids

RALEIGH (AP) — A scholarship program meant to attract North Carolina’s brightest high school students into teaching has fallen victim to state budget cuts.

Legislators voted to phase out the $13.5 million annual funding for the Teaching Fellows program as they closed a $2.5 billion budget shortfall before adjourning last week, The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Sunday. The 25-year-old program copied by other states provided a free college education in exchange for teaching at least four years in a North Carolina classroom.

Its graduates work as teachers and principals in 99 counties across the state.

“It’s easy to spot them,” said Brian Whitson, a 35-year-old chemistry teacher at Salisbury High School, who was a Teaching Fellow. “You see a lot of innovation. A lot of them are able to motivate students in a way other teachers are not.”

But this year’s entering college freshman class will be the last to receive the scholarships. Legislators say they had to decide whether to make direct cuts to the classroom or to other education programs.

Two Republican lawmakers suggest funding could be restored in future sessions.

“Our goal was to have a teacher in every classroom and a teacher assistant,” said Re.

WOMAN FroM 3a USA. Along the way, she raised $50,000 for world hunger.

With such an amazing resume in hand, and the ever-increasing need for a new challenge, Sarah met George Allen of the Washington Redskins.

President Reagan had named Allen as the chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. Allen also wanted to raise funds to build the National Fitness Academy, and thought Sarah to be the right person for his project. Allen seemed confident that she could actually achieve the task of running the perimeter of the US. Sarah was asked in an interview why she didn’t just run across the U.S., to which she replied, “It would not be outrageous enough to be worthwhile.”

And so the “Run Around America” began. Sarah had two support RVs as she started up the West Coast. ARCO sponsored the fuel, Asics the shoes, and Bonne Bell the cosmetics. The goal was to break a record set 18 years before when a man walked the perimeter of the US, but just as important was Allen’s plan to demonstrate that most Americans were unfit.

Allen said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, “Sarah’s run will touch the lives of millions of Americans though the duration of the run, and she will become an inspiration to our nation’s youth.

Fulcher, as I am, is motivated to improve the state of fitness in our nation.”

“Coach” Allen ran with Sarah as she left the site of the proposed Fitness Academy in July.

Sarah’s support team included an exercise physiologist. She used stretching, sports massage and swimming to keep her body going.

“I made sure we found a place to swim each day,” she said. “In the beginning, I swam first and then ran. Eventually as we crossed the northwest, I found swimming where I could.”

By this time the Associated Press was following her run, and publicity for the effort was spreading ahead. Increasingly, she found media and town officials waiting for her. Sarah stopped often to do TV and radio interviews. At every oppor-

“We’re just here for a little break from the heat,” Shannon said.

Following the fitness testing, Sarah would run out the door and continue her mileage for the day.

As the days continued to pass by, Sarah settled into a regular pace of 126 steps a minute. Each day began at 5:30 a.m. She was averaging 32 miles a day, and relying on the massage, swimming and sitting on ice bags to keep her body in shape. Sarah has no idea how many calories a day she consumed, but she did drink 2,000 calories of Exceed sports drink daily. Sarah and the team used Exceed to make pancakes and drank lots of coffee. She ate danishes and M&M’s to provide energy.

Sarah slept with her legs propped straight up in the air, which released the lower back muscles.

Often police escorts would arrive to lead Sarah through the more populated areas.

Sarah said “I only got lost twice, in California and Chicago. In Chicago, we had a police escort and still got lost.” While passing near Seattle, Sarah met a man going the other way who was trying to do the U.S. perimeter run in the opposite direction. She made him pancakes and off they both went to continue their journeys.

Sarah never heard from him again.

Challenges continued to present themselves, but Sarah began to focus on her “inner journey.”

“I never had any doubt that I could make it,” she said. “I did think of quitting once in Minneapolis where it was so cold. I had on six pairs of gloves, had a garbage bag over my running clothes, and I was freezing. Still I knew that I wouldn’t quit.”

amy Epley and sarah Fulcher reunited in salisbury at the literary bookpost.

Sarah spent so much time alone on the daunting journey that she soon began to think of herself as a “video camera,” gathering images of all the scenery. Sarah fondly remembers a florist in New England who ran out to hand her a carnation as she passed by in the snow.

The cold lessened as she turned south through the eastern states. Sarah’s only physical problems included some knee swelling and IT band issues. Her weight maintained at 117 pounds. Mile after mile passed. Sarah came through Salisbury on Feb. 28, 1988, running into town from Spencer where she was interviewed by the Salisbury Post on the 27th.

A mother of a wheel chairbound child named Bobby brought him to meet her on the road. She talked with them, and gave Bobby a T-shirt before continuing on her way.

As her journey reached Florida and turned west, it took Sarah a solid month to cross Florida.

“I found the fittest kids in Florida,” she said.

Heading west, she covered long and quiet stretches with less traffic. The trip became more spiritual, and Sarah realized that she loved the Arizona desert the best. She once got a ticket for crossing a bridge,

and the Border Patrol stopped her from running twice.

When they realized that she had already been commended by the State of Texas, she was allowed to proceed.

The Run Around America came to an official end as Sarah entered Los Angeles Stadium during the halftime of a nationally televised football game on Oct. 2, 1988. She had worn out six sweat suits, 15 pairs of shorts, 20 T-shirts, and 26 pairs of shoes. The Guinness Book of Records stated, “The longest run by an individual is one of 11,134 miles around the United States by Sarah Covington Fulcher (US).”

Still seeking adventure, Sarah joined the Army and was stationed at Fort Bragg with China Grove resident Amy Hintz Epley. Both ladies tried out for and made the Fort Bragg women’s running team scheduled to compete in the 1996 Army 10 Miler. Epley remembered her friend by saying, “Sarah was always the top runner, and was always so positive. She is just one incredible woman. I sure miss running with her.”

The Fort Bragg team won the women’s championship.

“A strong bond was formed on long training runs,” Epley said “I had stayed in touch with the others, but I had not seen Sarah for 12 years until she came to Salisbury for her book signing. I walked into the book store, and before I left, I bought five books.”

Sarah has been recognized in books, newspapers and magazines and interviewed on the NBC Today show and many others. Her world records were recognized by the US Congress on May 15, 1989.

Sarah lives today in High Point, and visits Salisbury often. She volunteers with the Faithful Friends animal shelter, and still wows people with an incredibly upbeat personality.

Author David Burl Morris was born in Salisbury and he continues to sort through all of Sarah’s memorabilia. An expanded second edition is now in the works.

program is being phased out, cutting $210,000 for the fiscal year that started July 1 and $3.4 million the following year.

Former four-term Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt said North Carolina has been an innovator in teacher training partly because of such programs, and he hopes funding is restored.

The program was created in 1986 at the urging of Democratic Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan, with backing from Hunt and the late superintendent of

Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. They were concerned that too many of the brightest high school students were pursuing careers other than teaching, and were also worried by a lack of males and minorities entering the profession.

The program provides students full scholarships to 17 participating campuses. Students who don’t fulfill their teaching obligation must pay back the scholarship, with 10 percent interest. The roughly 500 students accepted into

the program annually are required to attend seminars, take a weeklong bus tour across the state to learn its cultures, and participate in public service projects and other programs.

The average SAT score for students in the program this year was 200 points higher than North Carolina’s average SAT score. Of its graduates who started teaching 20 years ago, 60 percent are still working in North Carolina schools, according to the program.

my clothes are already packed,” he said. “It’s my bed, my sheets, my shower.”

And, at $24 a night for non-Rowan residents, Dan Nicholas Park is a steal compared to other campgrounds, Goodman said.

“When we go to the beach, it’s $65 a night,” he said.

But that’s still much than a hotel room, especially for longer stays, Goodman said.

Viselli said most of the reports he gets from RV

campers are positive.

There has been some feedback from visitors unhappy about shortened park hours due to budget cuts, Viselli said, but he declined to comment further.

The biggest complaint, if you can call it that, Viselli said, is the fact there’s no internet access.

“What do you want? It’s camping,” he said.

For those who love the open road, but still love hav-

ing some of the comforts of home, campgrounds like Dan Nicholas Park’s offer a wide range of attractions for the budget-conscious adventurer.

“I’ve camped since I was probably about four years old,” Goodman said.

“This ain’t for everybody.

But there’s all sorts of stuff to do,” he said.

“I live in the middle of the city, so it’s nice to be outside in the country,” she said.

Ann said she stumbled onto information about the Society of St. Andrews’ Gleaning Network while looking for public service opportunities to do with her kids.

She said gleaning goes hand-in-hand with the family’s interest in helping the needy.

They participate in Charlotte’s CROP Walk, a hunger awareness event, annually.

Ann said she’s glad her family can help get fresh produce to those who normally wouldn’t have access to it because of cost. Typically food banks are stocked

DEAL FROM 1a icans to reduce deficits.

The deal, with scant time remaining before Tuesday’s debt-limit deadline for paying government bills, “will allow us to avoid default and end the crisis that Washington imposed on the rest of America,” the president said in an announcement at the White House.

Default “would have had a devastating effect on our economy,” he said.

House Speaker John Boehner telephoned Obama at mid-evening to say the agreement had been struck, then immediately began pitching the deal to his fractious rank and file.

“It isn’t the greatest deal in the world, but it shows how much we’ve changed the terms of the debate in this town,” he said on a conference call, according to GOP officials. He added the agreement was “all spending cuts. The White House bid to raise taxes has been shut down.”

The House Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, was noncommittal. “I look forward to reviewing the legislation with my caucus to see what level of support we can provide,” she said in a written statement.

Many economists have expressed concerns that the spending cuts could threaten an already feeble economic recovery. The first half of 2011 marked the worst sixmonth economic performance since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.

No votes were scheduled in

with boxed and canned items so fresh produce is a rarity for needy families, she said.

Her family is also gaining something from gleaning.

“I like that they get to see where the food comes from,” Ann said. “It’s a lot of fun and a valuable experience for the kids.”

The group managed to salvage about 1,000 pounds of tomatoes Saturday that would have otherwise been left in the field to rot or plowed under for a new crop. The week before, they picked 1,800 pounds.

Those tomatoes will end up on the dinner tables of low-income families in the area.

The harvest was set to be deliverered to the Salvation Army in Salisbury, Love Christian Center in East Spencer and a church in Albemarle.

Without legislation in place

by Tuesday, the Treasury would not be able to pay all its bills, raising the threat of a default that administration officials say could inflict catastrophic damage on the economy.

Even word of an impending deal earlier in the day by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky sent U.S. stock futures upward.

And before Obama had finished speaking, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei index, opening this morning — at 8 p.m. Sunday on America’s East Coast — was up 1.7 percent in early trading.

Not that the deal would end the political maneuvering.

While eliminating the threat of default, it creates a remarkably short timetable for Congress to debate a huge and politically bruising deficit-reduction plan.

The plan would require a committee of lawmakers to come up with $1.5 trillion more in deficit cuts from benefit programs or tax reform before Thanksgiving. Congress must vote on them by Christmas — or trigger across-the-board cuts that would hit the Pentagon and domestic programs.

Pending final passage, the agreement marked a dramatic reach across party lines that played out over six months and several rounds of negotiating, interspersed by periods of intense partisanship.

Therapist’s ethics have that bad fish smell Dear Amy: For the last year and a half, my wife has had therapy with a professional psychologist. Though this woman has definitely been helpful, I question her ethics.

When we traveled to another part of the country last fall, the psychologist told my wife, “You know, I do accept gifts.”

Then she went on to mention her favorite packaged fish from the area we ASK were visiting.

AMY Despite my reluctance, my wife brought this back for her.

Yesterday, the psychologist asked my wife (who is a musician) if she wouldn’t mind performing at her nephew’s birthday party.

This is a family affair at an expensive restaurant, and the psychologist suggested that my wife and I were “welcome” to get our own table.

Though none of this both-

ers my easygoing wife, I feel her psychologist is stepping over the boundaries of ethical behavior.

What’s your take?

— The Questioning Husband Dear Husband: Your wife’s therapist has not only stepped over ethical boundaries, but, taking a running start, she has vaulted over them.

Your wife is paying the therapist for therapy. This exchange should not extend beyond the therapist’s office.

And though a relationship between the two is inevitable (and positive), your easygoing wife should realize that her therapist is manipulating and taking advantage of her.

Even if your wife doesn’t mind this breach, this will inevitably interfere with the therapeutic work the two are supposed to do together.

It is the therapist’s job to recognize and adhere to her professional ethical standards, not to burden her client with the issue of wondering how to enforce boundaries and manage the relationship.

Your wife should decline this musical gig. She should

also discuss this issue in therapy — and look for another therapist.

The American Psychological Association has posted lengthy and comprehensive ethical guidelines on its website, www.apa.org. Your wife should read through these guidelines.

Dear Amy: My brother’s long-term, live-in girlfriend and I care about each other very much, but we are both hotheaded and stubborn.

Here’s the issue: I recently agreed to foster a mother cat and her kittens.

I have grown very attached to them. I also am anti-declawing.

My brother and his significant other have decided to adopt one of the kittens; they are excellent caretakers.

She wants to have the kitten declawed.

I am 100 percent against this, believing it to be both unnecessary and cruel.

She doesn’t want the cat to “wreck the furniture, scratch her children or destroy their expensive speaker system.”

I pointed out that the adoption contract (which has not

yet been signed) does not allow declawing and states that a declawed cat will be defaulted into the shelter’s ownership.

She simply stated that this was “nonsense” (she used a less delicate phrase) and said she was going to have the cat declawed anyway.

I have agreed to take back the kitten any time if her claws become an issue.

How can I prevent the declawing of this cat without causing a rift? We are all attached to each other and to

NEW YORK (AP) — A fugitive from upstate New York who taunted police on his Facebook page to “catch me if you can. I’m in Brooklyn” has been arrested.

The Daily News says U.S. marshals and NYPD detectives tracked Victor Burgos down to an apartment in Brooklyn’s BedfordStuyvesant neighborhood Monday night, sitting at his computer with his Facebook page open.

The 29-year-old suspect was wanted by Utica police on multiple arrest warrants for domestic violence and harassment of his former girlfriend.

He allegedly issued the Facebook challenge after his mug shot appeared on the Utica Police Department’s 10 most wanted list.

Utica Sgt. Steve Hauck tells the News: “He told us via Facebook to come and get him and we did.”

itations of their means.

Habit 7. Financially responsible people's actions are based upon principles, not feelings. This compels them to pay their bills on time; to deal fairly and honestly with people; to give generously; and to restrain their compelling desires and find contentment in the things that really matter.

Becoming financially responsible is a process. In my case, it was a long process. I sabotaged myself for many years, convinced that I could never change. But I was wrong. I have changed and continue to make new progress every single day.

And you can, too. I would consider it a privilege to walk the path of financial responsibility with you.

Saving is a long-term process, and if necessary, sacrifices are made to achieve their savings goals.

Habit 4. Financially responsible people don't see the monthly payment, but focus instead on the total price tag.

These folks see through the marketing tactics and zero in on the true cost and bottom line.

Habit 5. Financially responsible people know precisely their financial condition. They usually know within a few bucks the current balance on their mortgage or other secured loans. They are keenly aware of and regularly update their net worth, and they habitually make each financial move in light of the effect it will have on their net worth.

Seven habits of financially responsible people Funny thing about habits.

Bad ones just seem to happen, while good ones are usually the result of considerable effort.

Habits are what personal character is made of, and basically they come in just two varieties: good and bad.

Some people act as if their habits were issued at birth and are not likely to ever change.

MARY There are a seHUNT lect few, however, who know and live by the truth: It is possible to learn good habits and unlearn bad ones, no matter how ingrained or deep-seated. It's all a matter of choice.

The secret of learning good habits or breaking bad ones is found in conscious repetition — fueled by knowledge, skill and motivation. One must repeat an action over and over and over again until it becomes a natural response, a habit.

To become more financially responsible, consciously focus and follow these seven habits, repeating them over and over until they become natural responses: Habit 1. Financially responsible people regularly balance their checkbook. They calculate a current balance after every transaction. Yes, after every transaction!

OPINION

The Monday forum

Salisbury Post “The truth shall make you free”

The poor are not poor because the rich are rich A

just released study from the Pew Research Center reporting a record high wealth gap between whites and blacks should have been labeled “handle with care.”

Because care is needed to examine the complex reality behind the fact that “median wealth of white households is 20 times that of black households.” And without care, this information will be abused and misused by those in the race business as another excuse to claim racism and demand exactly what blacks, or STAR any of us, do not need — PARKER more government.

And, indeed, Al Sharpton has already announced plans for protest in Washington, along with the statement: “For those who think we live in some sort of post-racial society, I have news for you: we’re anything but.”

For one thing, “median wealth” should not be confused with “average wealth.” “Median” is simply the number right in the middle — there are an equal number of households with higher and an equal number with lower wealth. Average wealth accounts for the actual wealth of those households and reflects the fact, not reflected in the median number, that there are a good number of well-to-do black households.

So whereas median white household wealth is 20 times higher than median black household wealth, average white household wealth is three times higher than average black household wealth.

The racially tinged headline obscures the deeper reality of what is driving the growing wealth gap. That is that over the period of the study, 2005-09, the gap between those with more wealth and those with less has increased for the whole country. In fact, over this period, the gap between the most wealthy and least wealthy blacks became more pronounced than the gap between the most wealthy and least wealthy whites.

In 2005, the top 10 percent wealthy black families represented 56 percent of overall black wealth. By 2009, this top 10 percent represented 67 percent of overall black wealth. You have to wonder what kind of racial claims Al Sharpton will make about this.

All this is not to minimize a genuine problem. Far more important than where black wealth stands relative to white wealth is the fact that median, or average, black wealth is far less than it should be. That 35 percent of all black households have zero or negative wealth (net indebtedness) is dismally sad.

What to do?

If there are any public policy implications, it is not to expand government, but to remove it as obstacle to black wealth creation. At the most basic level, black children need to get better education and this means giving black parents choice to send their children wherever they want to school.

A better-educated black population will mean a higher income earning black population. But income alone is a limited tool for creating wealth.

Wealth is created through savings, investment, and entrepreneurship. And blacks lag far behind in each category.

The Pew study shows that the major destruction of wealth from 2005-09 resulted from the collapse of housing prices. Blacks suffered disproportionately because black net worth has been almost entirely in their homes.

The idea of allowing investment in a personal retirement account rather than paying the Social Security payroll tax would be a boon to building black wealth.

But when President Bush suggested the personal retirement account idea, NAACP chairman Julian Bond said this was asking blacks “to play the lottery with their future.”

A life of government guarantees and controls is not a formula for building wealth. Freedom and capital markets are. Blacks need to decide which they want.

And entrepreneurship must become part of black culture. Blacks need to get that poor people are not poor because rich people are rich.

The formula for more black wealth: less government, more ownership and initiative.

LETTERS Mt. Ulla tower fight wasting tax dollars Many folks who live in Rowan County may think the broadcast tower fiasco in Mt. Ulla does not affect them.

I would like to point out that the taxpayers of Rowan County have paid out $120,214.26 as of July 27, 2011. Taxpayers will also be forced to foot the bill for bringing in an attorney from Charlotte for the Aug. 1 hearing.

The commissioners had a legal standing to deny the latest conditional use permit at the July 5 meeting. Commissioners Sides, Ford, Mitchell and Coltrain voted to deny the motion to dismiss the permit. Commissioner Sides didn’t consider it for a moment and immediately made a motion to dismiss our claim. Our claim was that this issue has already been heard, decided on and backed up all the way to the N.C. Supreme Court.

Commissioner Ford, a broadcaster, was quick to second the motion.

It is puzzling that Mr. Sides, who continually votes against county funding and incentives to bring new companies and jobs to Rowan County and claims to be the one looking out for the taxpayer, did not hesitate for a second to spend so much of the county’s money to hear this case again. Davidson Broadcasting is not a Rowan County company. This tower will not provide any additional jobs nor any benefit to the citizens of Rowan. I urge our commissioners to vote to deny this permit and quit wasting our precious tax dollars. Wasting over $120,000 is a “bad deal” for county taxpayers. I’m sure our school system or volunteer fire departments would have been able to put that kind of money to good use.

— April Sherrill Mount Ulla

Entitlement costs can be reduced David Post’s July 28 column concerning the budget should leave many wondering, is this country really broke? If you accept the figures in this article, $2.166 trillion total federal income and $3.8 trillion total expenditures to be true, then we are in trouble as a nation.

These figures are not written in stone and can be changed. To accept these figures narrows the debate and has a limiting effect; in other words someone has set the parameters for our thinking, and we should step outside the box. For example, take a more detailed look at just one major contributor to our debt, entitlements. They alone account for $2.285 trillion, and much of this is unfunded, in other words, borrowed. However benevolent you may feel our elected leaders in Washington have been, the question has to be asked, have they spent your taxes and borrowed money on a

fiscally sound basis? If you are retired, as I am, disabled, on food stamps, or receive any assistance, you answer is likely to be, well they have done the best they could under the circumstances. I would most certainly have to make changes in my spending if Social Security did not send me a check, but many who depend entirely on Social Security for their subsistence would be devastated. What we know is that waste, fraud and poor judgment by politicians and bureaucrats have landed this nation on the brink of financial disaster.

You ask for a plan, the plan should be TEA, taxed enough already, less spending accomplished by a balanced budget and honor the Constitution as written by our forefathers. I know this sounds very simplistic and unrealistic but to continue to borrow almost 50 cents of every dollar spent is not very realistic as well. If government spending is not materially change and soon devastation will surely visit all of us.

— Richard Roberts

tea party freshmen couldn’t care less about re-election.

They’re not career politicians.

Personally, I like that.

Cut, cap and balance isn’t just fiscally responsible, it’s imperative. Take Social Security and Medicare, for instance; they’re broke. One way to save them might be to consider them insurance policies, not entitlements. We could significantly reduce (or eliminate) the benefits that millionaires, billionaires, fat-pensioned bureaucrats and others receive. I think that they should only get federal assistance if they lose their fortune. This one action would guarantee results by not allowing the wealthiest Americans to have the money to start with (as opposed to raising taxes, which equals overseas tax shelters).

This (Ryan plan) idea won’t kill granny; but it could save her. I think that we should at least talk about these possibilities rather than simply ignoring them, but maybe I’m just platitudinous and unreasonable.

— Steve Pender Rockwell

Kannapolis

Ryan plan wasn’t an empty ‘platitude’ I recently read an editorial condemning the cut, cap and balance bill that the U.S. Republicans passed. The column listed several reasons why this bill can’t work, and a reader even wrote in to praise the editorial as a voice of reason against “political rhetoric.” The editorial ended with: “If you have a plan rather than a platitude, please tell Washington.”

Um … we have. Actually, many were spelled out in Rep. Paul Ryan’s plan.

The problem with our establishment is that, until now, there was no difference in the Republican and Democratic parties.

Both worked together to protect their rich friends and lobbyists.

We were stuck with a one-party system. Now the Republicans are returning to their roots, shamed into it by the newlyelected tea party representatives.

The editorial mentioned “The public doesn’t want cuts in Social Security and Medicare,” and that congressmen who vote for them “are likely to lose their jobs.” But guess what? The new

Our best to the residents of Salisbury as they adjust to life without his outstanding leadership.

A prescription for personal integrity In today’s society we so often do not take responsibility for the mistakes that we have made.

So many times we play the blame game and avoid ownership of the things that we do wrong. Even our own government enables us to blame our problems on others and create “scapegoats.” I guess this is why it is so refreshing for someone

to admit an error and accept responsibility for a mistake. I had a local pharmacy do this today.

The error was on a prescription for my son. Instead of sweeping it under the rug or pointing the finger at the doctor’s office, this pharmacist took the time to call me, admit the mistake and gave me a genuine apology. Because of her “owning the mistake,” I have so much respect for her and the company for which she works, and I just want to say thank you for that act of integrity. Everyone makes mistakes.

The difference in our integrity is how we react to them.

Late-night drivers endanger pedestrians I have a complaint about those drivers out on the major roads at night and during the early morning hours in the city of Salisbury.

For about the third time since moving back to Salisbury from Lexington in April 2010, I was almost run over. People on Innes Street, Jake Alexander Boulevard and Statesville Boulevard seem to be going faster and faster in their vehicles. About 99 percent of the time, I cross the street at a stop light and am very careful. It’s just those partygoers who must be high on drugs or alcohol that have it in for an innocent pedestrian like myself.

Please, Salisbury police, can you park your cars during the night and early morning hours at places where you can use radar guns? There are a lot of young people out there who drive hazardously and need to be checked out.

— Michael Kondek Salisbury

Company’s donation deserves a salute I would like to thank FillTech USA of Rockwell for contacting me to pick up another large donation of items needed by the military. This local company takes pride in its work and has dedicated employees. The company’s unselfishness is gratifying in these difficult economic times, and its willingness to support the military is very admirable.

Founded in 1995, FillTech USA quickly became recognized for its quality of workmanship.

The company has 40 workers on a two-shift operation and top management. I have delivered the donation to the local Army Reserves, Air National Guard, Marine Project Devil Dog and Soldier’s Angels. FillTech USA is a good steward of supporting the community and the military.

I am very thankful for them and their support.

KANNAPOLIS — The City of Kannapolis presents Recycling Night at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium on Friday.

The Kannapolis Intimidators take on the Delmarva Shorebirds at 7:05 p.m. with recycling contests and gifts from Kannapolis Recycles throughout the evening.

The Kannapolis Environmental Stewardship Commis-

ABC FROM 1a The Employers Association, some respondents said the general manager’s friends are paid better than other employees, and he overrides store managers’ decisions for employees he likes.

“There is also a perception that the GM (general manager) does not post job openings but rather hires his friends or political allies, and some refer to it as the ‘good ole boy’ network,” the executive summary said. “Further, it was said that the GM does not conduct interviews, reference checks or ... background checks on them before they are hired.”

Osborne said he has not hired any new employees for several years. He said the board gets a number of resumes each week, so when a position opens up, he doesn’t need to post the job to find a qualified person to fill it.

He said management staff goes through those resumes and invites the top candidates in for interviews. Many, but not all, are promoted from within the system.

Osborne denied any accusations of favoritism, saying he treats employees fairly and hasn’t been politically involved since 1998, when he left office as clerk of court. He said he has gotten to know many people in the community, including those he has hired.

“I like to call many of them my friends,” he said. “I would like to call them all my friends.”

A few employees left comments about Osborne’s work to fight privatization and promote education, but others said they have a hard time

sion will be on hand to answer questions about the new curbside recycling program and sustainability initiatives.

The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Recycle Guy is scheduled to make a special appearance with the Intimidator’s mascot, Tim E. Gator.

Recycling will be the theme for the evening’s fan communicating with him.

Osborne said he will follow a request by the board to visit the stores more often.

The board also will hold feedback sessions to discuss the survey results with all employees.

“I respect every employee’s opinion and have always encouraged them to communicate any concerns to me or their manager,” Osborne said.

“These concerns will not be dismissed, but I will continue to focus on what is best for the organization.”

This is the first employee opinion survey since Osborne came to the board several years ago, he said. Board Chairwoman Linda Lowman suggested it earlier this year.

“We had this survey to find out what our strengths and weaknesses are, and I think we did that,” she said. “It was a learning experience, and I want to use that experience to make a better ABC board.”

Lowman declined to comment specifically about the general manager. She said the survey brought up issues that need to be addressed, but it also highlighted areas that employees are pleased with, like working conditions and benefits.

Board member David McCoy said Friday that the board plans to conduct another survey in the future — maybe in two years — to see if it has improved.

McCoy said he supports Osborne, and the board will work with him to address any problems.

“Terry responded to some of the concerns and had valid explanations for some of the accusations that were made,” McCoy. Osborne said he knows a few employees are unhappy with him for certain reasons, but that’s part of being a gen-

He said he is more concerned about the employees’ low morale rating — 2.85 out of five — which he says can be traced to the downturn in the economy and a change in the board’s financial priorities.

“Two bonuses have been removed, and we haven’t had significant raises since,” Osborne said. “That affects morale.”

The board voted Wednesday to send minutes of managers’ meetings to everyone in the stores, in response to concerns that employees don’t know what’s going on in the organization.

Board member Ken Argo also suggested that the board give each store manager his or her store’s financial statements compared to the budgeted amounts.

Argo said Friday he was “pleasantly surprised” by the generally positive results of the survey, in light of the economic climate and recent events.

The state briefly considered privatizing its alcohol system last year. In 2009, Rowan County Commissioners publicly questioned the board about its finances and told it to make profit distributions a priority.

Argo said comments about Osborne likely were made by employees who are disgruntled because of this environment.

“The history of the ABC Board in the last three or four years has been rocky, and we’ve had a little bit of politics,” Argo said.

“I said to our general manager, ‘With all that’s gone on in the last five years, my hat’s off to you for sticking around.’ ” Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

She credits her family as well as Roslyn Misenheimer, her sixth-grade teacher at Granite Quarry Elementary, with supporting her dreams to become a lawyer.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Little blue Smurfs and not-so-little green men from space are in a photo finish for the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office.

Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford’s scifi Western “Cowboys & Aliens” and the family adventure “The Smurfs” both opened with $36.2 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

That leaves Sony’s “Smurfs” and Universal’s “Cowboys & Aliens” tied for the top spot. Figuring out the No. 1 movie will have to wait until final numbers are counted Monday.

“In all my years, I’ve never really seen a race this close,” said Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for box-office tracker Hollywood.com. “Generally, in the world of movie box office, $1 million is a close call, so to have two films in a dollar-to-dollar tie is somewhat unprecedented.”

Studios often round off their Sunday numbers, which include Friday and Saturday totals plus an estimate of Sunday business.

onship game, a 30-0 win against Elizabeth City Northeastern. A 2010 state champion in the 100 and 200-meter dash, he says the UNC staff wants him to utilize that speed as a slot receiver, hoping he can put on weight to acquire pass blocking skills.

“I played a little bit of slot here so it’ll be a good transition,” said Morris, who holds four offensive records for Salisbury.

Oddly enough, Georgia Tech, under NCAA fire earlier this month and forced to surrender its 2009 ACC title, was also hot after Morris.

Braves land Bourn

Brickyard breakthrough

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — The Braves started the Marlins 3 day savorBraves 1 ing a trade that bolstered their playoff hopes.

They ended it with the 10,000th loss in franchise history.

Ricky Nolasco scattered 12 hits, Emilio Bonifacio homered and the Florida Marlins avoided a sweep with a 3-1 victory Sunday.

A couple of hours before the game, the Braves completed a deadline deal for speedy Houston outfielder Michael Bourn. They could’ve used him right away, especially when fill-in Jose Constanza got thrown out twice.

“As an offense, we should’ve capitalized a little more,” third baseman Brooks Conrad said. “It doesn’t feel good to lose a game like that where you have so many opportunities to get runs in.”

Atlanta outhit the Marlins 13-7 but left 10 runners on base, becoming only the second team in big league history with 10,000 losses. The Phillies reached that mark in 2007.

The Braves picked up their 10,000th win a couple of weeks ago, including their time in Boston and Milwaukee.

SALISBURY — Darien Rankin and Romar Morris returned to a place where everything seemed simpler on Saturday morning.

Less than two months after graduating high school, last week was a sobering entrance to the real world for two of the key cogs in the Hornets’ 2AA championship run last year.

With the dawn of their collegiate careers approaching, the pair headed for UNC returned to Salisbury High to make a cameo at the first official football practice for the Hornets.

The start of Salisbury’s defense of its first modern-era state championship helped Rankin and Morris get their minds off the controversy that currently plagues Chapel Hill.

Carolina coach Butch Davis was dismissed Thursday after a tumultuous year in which the football program was ridden with scandal and allegations of players receiving improper benefits from agents.

Davis finished his four-year stay with UNC 28-23 and 1517 in the ACC. One day later, athletic director Dick Baddour stepped down subsequently because of the football turmoil.

Despite all that, Morris and Rankin’s loyalty to their hometown school has run parallel with their college decision. Each said they would remain Tar Heels despite the fact the coach that recruited them is no longer there.

“I ain’t going nowhere,” Morris said while watching his former teammates. “I love Carolina.”

Morris was the Central Carolina Conference’s offensive player of the year and the MVP of the state champi-

associated press

Florida’s emilio Bonifacio shocked the Braves with his second homer of the year.

The Braves traded Jordan Schafer and three minor league pitchers to get Bourn, a two-time Gold Glove winner who leads the NL in stolen bases. He had to fly in from Milwaukee and won’t join the Braves until they play at Washington today.

As it was, Nolasco (8-7) pitched out of trouble, retiring the side in order only once. Leo Nunez came on in the ninth for his 30th save.

Atlanta starter Tommy Hanson (11-6) gave up all three Florida runs in six innings.

The Braves jumped ahead in the first when Constanza led off with a double, moved to third on Martin Prado’s single and came home when Freddie Freeman grounded into a double play.

Florida tied it in the second, manufacturing a run after Hanley Ramirez led off with a walk.

He stole second, went to third on a flyout and came home on Mike Stanton’s single to center.

INDIANAPOLIS — Daddy’s Boy. Silver spoon with secure sponsorship.

Talentless hack.

Paul Menard has heard all the jealous jeering throughout his unremarkable racing career.

On Sunday, he added a new name to that list: Brickyard 400 winner.

Menard became NASCAR’s newest first-time winner Sunday with an upset victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a track steeped in tradition for his family.

Yes, it came in a car sponsored by the hardware chain owned by his billionaire father. But nobody dared to deny that Menard earned the win and had worked hard to finally make it to Victory Lane in his 167th start at NASCAR’s highest level.

True to his low-key and reserved personality even as he crossed the finish line, Menard had no desire to shove the win in the face of his critics.

“We’re winners in Sprint Cup. That’s

the big deal. To do it at Indy, even bigger deal,” he said. “Can’t change people’s opinions. They’re going to say what they want to say. That’s fine with me.

We’ll celebrate this. We’ll enjoy it. Whatever they say, they say. Can’t control it.

“I know what I’m capable of.”

Menard has bounced around NASCAR the past few years as teams were eager to land John Menard’s sponsorship money but failed to spend it on winning race cars. Going into this year, Menard’s only victory was in 2006 in the second-tier Nationwide Series.

Richard Childress was another car owner willing to cash the checks from the Menard’s chain, and he signed both driver and sponsor for this season. But Richard Childress Racing was on an upswing, and the owner believed his new driver just needed a competitive car to prove his worth.

Although Sunday was Menard’s first win, he and crew chief Slugger Labbe had been steadily improving all season and his four top-five finishes this season double the amount he had in his first four seasons in Cup.

The debate continues: 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

It came Sunday in a race that was at first dominated by drivers with the strongest cars. But when debris cautions jumbled up the pit cycles, the Brickyard 400 turned into a race of pure strategy.

Menard and his RCR team played it brilliantly, as crew chief Slugger Labbe had Menard give the lead up to defending race winner Jamie McMurray in an effort to save fuel. Certain McMurray didn’t have enough gas to make

it to the finish, Labbe then turned his attention to Jeff Gordon, who fell 12 seconds behind after a late fuel stop but was slicing his way through the field.

Labbe gave Menard the green light with just over three laps to go. He passed McMurray for the lead, and was silent as he circled the track with Labbe giving constant updates on Gordon’s lap times. Gordon ran out of time, and Menard cruised to his first career victory in his 167th career start.

Menard’s only other victory came in the second-tier Nationwide Series in 2006.

Quiet and reserved by nature, that didn’t change as Menard crossed the finish line. As his team screamed over the radio, Menard quietly asked, “that’s the check-

Atop the pit box, his billionaire father was far less reserved.

John Menard, owner of the family’s Midwest-based hardware chain who has a decadeslong involvement in racing, was ecstatic and seemingly near tears.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Olin Browne showed little emotion until rolling in a 30foot birdie putt on the final hole to clinch a three-shot victory over Mark O’Meara in the U.S. Senior Open.

After Browne’s last putt dropped and a large gallery around the final green at Inverness Club roared its approval as he raised his arms in triumph. It was the biggest victory of the journeyman’s 27 years as a professional. Browne’s closing even-par 71 followed rounds of 64, 69 and 65 and left him at 15-under 269.

NEW YORK — Plaxico Burress is back in the Big Apple — with the New York Jets.

The former Super Bowl star with the Giants, recently released from prison after serving 20 months on a gun charge, reached an agreement in principle Sunday on a oneyear deal with the Jets.

Burress, who turns 34 on Aug. 12, caught the game-winning touchdown in the Giants’ upset of the unbeaten New England Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl, before his career

derailed after he accidentally shot himself in a New York nightclub in 2009.

His second chance at the NFL comes with a team that was interested in him a few years ago before he went to prison. Now, he’ll likely join the recently re-signed Santonio Holmes as Mark Sanchez’s top receivers.

Burress mentioned he would be interested in playing for several teams, including the Jets — and didn’t even need to meet with general manager Mike Tannenbaum and coach Rex Ryan to make his decision.

media about their coach’s dismissal, which led to defensive coordinator Everett Withers being named interim coach.

Rankin carries no trepidation about staying at UNC either, sporting baby blue garb throughout his 6-foot, 195-pound frame.

Rankin says he’s added about 10 pounds during the summer and hopes to gain more weight to ready himself for the strain of ACC football.

“It was unexpected,” said Rankin of Davis’ firing. “It was like a punch in the gut. We had a good relationship and to see him go...he was one of the main reasons I went there.”

Withers liked Rankin when he saw him at a UNC camp in June 2010 and offered the safety his first FCS offer. Rankin, who dreamed of playing at UNC in his youth when he dunked the ball as a sixth-grader, made the no-brainer to say yes.

“We became close when I went to the camps,” Rankin said of Withers. “Me and him did one-on-one sessions and that really gave

me confidence.”

Rankin and Morris enrolled in summer school in June and have been training with Carolina for about a month. The two have stayed close as roommates, which is only natural considering they’re two of the better athletes in Salisbury history. PINYAN Thursday afternoon, they both attended a team meeting that was called to inform the players about Davis.

“The only thing I question about it, I think that’s very poor timing,” Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan said. “Of course, my opinion’s worth about as much as the 25 cents that buys a Salisbury Post, I guess.”

Carolina has the ACC’s fourth-ranked 2011 class according to rivals.com.

“I think once you make a commitment, you make a commitment, you’re there,” Pinyan said.

Both Morris and Rankin echo their former coach’s sentiment.

PHILADELPHIA — Raul Ibanez homered twice and hit the game-winning double in the 10th inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.

The Phillies trailed 5-3 in the eighth when Ibanez hit a two-run shot for his second homer of the game. He doubled to right off Tony Watson (0-2) in the 10th to score Hunter Pence and help the Phillies complete a three-game sweep.

The Pirates left Philadelphia with two newly acquired bats, trading for Baltimore first baseman Derrek Lee and San Diego outfielder Ryan Ludwick.

Neck and node swelling not normal Dear Dr. Gott: In September 2009, the right side of my neck above the collarbone started to swell. By December, the area from beneath my right ear to my collarbone and into my armpit was swollen.

It wasn’t painful.

It was, as the physician’s assistant put a DR. PETER it, diffuse/oveGOTT rall swelling.

The lymph nodes were not swollen. A neck CT scan showed a slight ear infection but no problem with the nodes.

The swelling is not edema because it is “more spongy” (per the doctor). When pressed, it does leave an indentation. I also have a tender spot just to the left of the center of my throat on the outside of my neck, near the base. I also have a symptom that comes and goes — a spot in my throat that feels dry and seems as if it is clinging to the tissue around it. My doctor told me that it is scar tissue from having my tonsils out years ago.

He hasn’t been able to give me an explanation of what is going on, and after he ran several blood tests, he told me not to worry about it. Now I have several lymph nodes in both armpits and one on the right side of my groin that are painful.

I have to sleep on two pillows now because if I don’t, I wake up with a lot of chest pressure and can only de-

scribe it as having an elephant on my chest. It takes more effort to breathe during the day if I sleep with only one pillow.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Are there any additional tests that could be done? My doctor says not to worry, but this is not normal for me. I am 50 years old, and this is the first time I have had any symptoms like this.

Dear Reader: I urge you to return to your doctor with your new symptoms. He can then order repeat or more extensive blood work and perhaps a chest X-ray, CT scan or MRI of your neck and chest. If he cannot or will not help you get to the root of your symptoms, request a referral to a specialist. You should start with an otolaryngologist (ear-noseand-throat specialist) since your throat and neck appear to be where your symptoms first started. He or she can then refer you to other specialists, such as a pulmonologist, if appropriate. You may also want to find another primary care physician such as a general practitioner or an internist.

Painful, swollen glands, especially those associated with neck swelling and chest pressure, are not normal.

There are many causes, the most common of which are infections. Mononucleosis, strep throat, ear infections and tooth abscesses are the most likely candidates. Certain STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), tuberculosis (TB), cat scratch fever and toxoplasmosis are possible uncommon causes. Lu-

pus, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lymphoma, leukemia or any cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes may also be the culprit, but these are, again, uncommon causes. Rarely, certain medications can cause swollen, painful nodes.

You need to undergo further examination and testing. The sooner the cause is found, the sooner you can get appropriate treatment and start back on the road to a normal, healthful life.

The winning play is hard to see

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Features Syndicate

Ben Franklin said, “Do not anticipate trouble or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.”

He would not have made a good bridge player, because you must anticipate trouble and worry about what might happen, presumably indoors, out of the sunlight.

This deal is a tough example. You are in four spades. West leads the club king, cashes the club ace, and shifts to a diamond.

You win with your ace and draw two rounds of trumps, West discarding a heart on the second round.

How would you continue?

North might have responded one no-trump because his hand is so unappealing.

On more than one occasion in the year ahead, you could find yourself in the position of being able to bring two dissenting parties together for a productive purpose. Each time you go out of you way to do so, it’ll benefit you as well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Before turning down all of your ideas, you should put them to the test. A few of them that you’ve thought dubious will work out better than you think.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although you can be a doubter more often than a believer, don’t hesitate to follow the financial projections you and another have diligently researched and now believe can succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you hope to successfully sell your ideas, do not circumvent any of the issues. When you have an important point to make, be as direct as circumstances permit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Have faith in being able to achieve positive fulfillments, and don’t let doubt dash your hopes. Certain factors that aren’t obvious to you or others will be working out to your benefit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Those who like you want good things to happen for you, so don’t be fearful of imposing upon a good friend for a special favor. She or he will be delighted to help out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Do what you can to achieve an important objective, because direct and strong action is the only way it’ll ever be accomplished. Delays will only lessen your chances.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Instead of weaving your way through subordinates who have no power and could actually end up being a hindrance, go straight to the head honcho for what you want.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you hold firmly to your beliefs about a commercial arrangement and what you expect from it, things could go rather well. Just remember to be fair, smart and patient.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although you’ll do well working on your own, you would do better teaming up with someone who has skills you don’t possess. If you can ally with someone to achieve better results, do so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Because you’re someone who has had the patience to wait it out, seeds you’ve sown in the past should be ready for harvest, making for a profitable and productive day for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you take the time to use your organizational skills, you will be able to control most developments that might arise with great efficacy. The one exception may be your own resources.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — As long as you and your mate don’t clash and get in each other’s way, your collective efforts will greatly please both of you. It pays to be supportive instead of combative.

Today’s celebrity birthdays Actor-director Geoffrey Holder is 81.

Singer Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is 80. Blues musician Robert Cray is 58. Singer Michael Penn is 53. Singer Joe Elliott of Def Leppard is 52.

Rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy is 51. Guitarist Suzi Gardner of L7 is 51. Rapper Coolio is 48. Singer Adam Duritz of Counting Crows is 47. Country singer George Ducas is 45. Guitarist Charlie Kelley (Buffalo Club) is 43. Actress Tempestt Bledsoe is 38. Singer Ashley Parker Angel (O-Town) is 30.

You have three top losers (one spade and two clubs), so must avoid a heart loser.

It is no good cashing the king and leading low to dummy’s ace, because East will ruff and return his last trump.

West will eventually take a heart trick for down one.

You must play a heart to dummy’s ace and lead a heart toward your hand. It cannot help East to ruff, so you win in your hand and return to dummy with a club to the jack. (You did throw your queen under West’s ace, didn’t you?)

Then another heart West’s first two plays through East makes the conshowed that he started with tract. ace-king-doubleton of clubs.

He did the reverse of his normal play. (It is the same for third hand.

When partner leads a low card and third hand has A-Kx, he wins with the king, the bottom of touching honors.

If instead he wins with the ace and cashes the king, he shows ace-king-doubleton.)

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER Hot and active weather will continue throughout parts of the East on Monday. In the South, scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist in the Carolinas as a cold front and wave of low pressure move through the region. Additional showers and thunderstorms are anticipated to the south of a nearly stationary front that will linger over the northern Southeast. To the west of this activity, a ridge of high pressure will remain over the Central Plains. This system will allow hot weather to continue from the Southern and Central Plains through the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic with highs in the 90s and 100s. To the north of this system, disturbances moving through the Midwest will trigger slight chances of severe weather development with damaging wind, hail, and possibly tornadoes from the Northern Plains into the Upper Great Lakes. Additional severe weather activity with damaging wind gusts is possible in the Northeast due to increased instability during the afternoon. West of the Continental Divide, an active plume of monsoon moisture and weak disturbances from the eastern Pacific and the Gulf of Baja moving through the West will fuel more rain showers and thunderstorms from parts of southern California through areas of the Southwest and parts of the Great Basin. Thunderstorms may produce periods of heavy rain and gusty winds.
