Four on death row file claims

RCCC SEEKS $18 MILLION

Convicted murderers say racial bias unfairly led to their sentences BY SCOTT JENKINS sjenkins@salisburypost.com

County officials will decide if bond package makes ballot; raising taxes a sticking point BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners will consider adding an $18 million bond referendum to the November ballot Monday. The bond issue, which would pay for capital improvements to the college’s North campus, addresses three major areas: campus accessibility and safety improvements; campus wide additions and renovations; and relocation, expansion and improvement of the fire training grounds. If adopted in its original form, the resolution authorizing the bond would require a tax increase of about 2 cents per $100 assessed value. The owner of a house valued at $100,000 would see a tax increase of about $20 annually, a total of $300 over the 15-year period. The bond would be repayed over a 15-year span at $2 million per year. “I think the board felt like there was no way we could handle $18 million without the voters being involved and us borrowing mon-

ey and paying for it over time,” County Manager Gary Page said. Page said commissioners will discuss various repayment options, including a smaller tax increase or the elimination of a tax increase altogether during its Monday meeting. “We can’t absorb that College officials amount because we’ve break down how been downsizing our they would use the government for the past funds, 8A two years and using the fund balance,” he said. “Theoretically, we don’t even have $1 million to give them.” • • • County commissioners have mixed opinions about adding the bond referendum to the ballot. Although all seem to agree that RCCC’s North campus is in dire need of improvement and expansion, questions about who will pick up the bill remain.

Where the money will be spent

IRS eyes nonprofits Tax-exempt status hinges on organizations filing required returns; faith-based operations among those lacking

RCCC President Dr. Carol Spalding, who will present the bond proposal along with board of trustees Chairman Ray Paradowski, said she is confident the commissioners will approve resolution, allowing voters to decide. “They understand that public buildings need public support and that these buildings are worn and need improvement,” she said. “I think we’re on the same page, I just don’t know if we’re on the same number.” Board Chairman Carl Ford said he supports the cause, but will not vote to raise property taxes. “I know the need is there, they don’t have to convince me of that,” he said. “I see the need, I’m for the need, I’m just not for it if we’re going to raise taxes.” Ford said decreasing the bond amount to $10 million and raising student fees could cover a portion of the repayment without increasing taxes. The current student fee is $25 per se-

Salisbury Motor Co. settles racial discrimination case Man who filed claim will get $25,000 and a car BY SCOTT JENKINS

BY SCOTT JENKINS

Four men convicted of murder in Rowan County are among 148 death row inmates who have filed claims under the Racial Justice Act signed into law last year by Gov. Bev Perdue. William Leroy Barnes, Frank Junior Chambers, James Adolph Campbell and Wesley Tobe Smith Jr. are the only four convicts still facing a death sentence for Rowan convictions. One man sentenced to death for murder in Cabar- BARNES rus County, Ernest P. McCarver, has filed a claim alleging racial bias. Tuesday was the deadline for filing the claims, and the vast majority of the 159 inmates currently on death row did. The Racial Justice Act allows inmates facing execution to argue race was a sig- CHAMBERS nificant factor in their sentencing or the decision to seek the death penalty and says their death sentences could be commuted to life without parole if they can prove their claims. It allows for claims based not only on the race of the person sentenced, but also that race played a part in CAMPBELL jury selection. Advocates for the law point to recent studies of North Carolina trials by Michigan State University and the University of Colorado-Boulder that found convicted murderers were nearly three times as likely

Salisbury Motor Co. has settled a racial discrimination lawsuit filed on behalf of a former employee by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While maintaining it didn’t discriminate against Glenn Bailey and fire him for complaining about it, the West Innes Street car dealership agreed to pay Bailey $25,000 and give him a car worth $20,000 to settle the civil lawsuit. Bailey, who is black, worked as a car detailer and general helper at Salisbury Motor Co. from Aug. 15, 2005, to June 17, 2008. In the action filed Sept. 30 in U.S. District Court, the Equal Opportunity Commission alleged Salisbury Motor Co. subjected “to racial harassment that created a racially hostile work environment and to different terms and conditions of employment because of his race, African-American.” The complaint said Bailey was called “racially derogatory” names by the president and principal dealer at Salisbury Motor Co. and was required to perform “non-job related menial and demeaning tasks” not required of his white co-workers. The lawsuit claimed Bailey was fired in 2008 “in retaliation for his complaints” about the discrimination. In October, an attorney for Salisbury Motor Co. issued a statement saying Bailey had

been fired “for just cause” and that the allegations of racial discrimination “are not true and will be vigorously defended.” In the court order settling the lawsuit, Salisbury Motor Co. maintains it did not discriminate against Bailey, but the document says both parties agreed to resolve the dispute to avoid further litigation. When contacted Friday, Salisbury Motor Co. General Manager Donald Clement IV issued the following statement: “Salisbury Motor Co. was disappointed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission brought suit against it for alleged discriminatory practices. The company denied all allegations of wrongdoing; however, on advice of legal counsel, the case was settled at mediation before completion of discovery and in advance of trial. The settlement was based upon the economic reality of the case and was made upon the terms mutually satisfactory to the parties in consideration for ending the litigation at an early stage. “Salisbury Motor Co. did not, does not and will not condone discriminatory practices with regard to its employees or customers. The company looks forward to another 91 years of service in our community.” According to the terms of the settlement filed in court, the dealership agreed to write Bailey a check for $25,000 and hand over the

SBI concludes agent didn’t follow standard procedures Case in question involved killing in Davie County RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s top law enforcement agency has concluded that one of its agents violated its practices when he changed a report in a murder case without telling anyone and bolstered the prosecution’s case. In a letter obtained by the Associated Press, Erik Hooks of the SBI’s professional standards division said he believes “a second separate report concerning the re-examination of evidence should have been issued” by Special Agent Gerald Thomas. He

also said the SBI concluded that Thomas didn’t adhere to the SBI’s administrative practices. The letter, dated July 6, was sent to Brad Bannon, one of the attorneys who represented Dr. Kirk Turner on charges that he killed his wife. Turner, a dentist with a practice in Clemmons, said he killed his wife in selfdefense after she attacked him with a 7-foot spear in September 2007 at their home in Davie County. A jury acquitted him last year, finding him not guilty by reason of self-defense. Thomas’ actions in the case were first made public this week by The News & Observer of Raleigh, which said Thomas reported initially that the bloodstain pattern on Turner’s T-shirt “was consistent with a bloody

hand being wiped on the surface of the shirt.” The newspaper’s story was part of its series on the SBI. Thomas then changed the report — but kept the same Sept. 14, 2007, date on it — to say the bloodstain “was consistent with a pointed object, consistent with a knife, being wiped on the surface of the shirt” but left the same date on the report, the newspaper reported. The latter theory coincided with that of prosecutors, who said Turner killed his wife, Jennifer, then wiped his knife on his shirt. Prosecutors claimed he staged the scene by ramming the spear’s 18-inch blade twice through his thigh. To verify the prosecution’s theory, Thomas and another agent, Duane Deaver, conducted two tests

which they recorded on video, the newspaper said. The video shows Thomas twice putting on a clean shirt, dipping a knife in blood and wiping the blade on his shirt to try to get a stain resembling the knife’s outline. After the second attempt, Deaver, who was filming, said: “Oh, even better, holy cow, that was a good one. Beautiful. That’s a wrap, baby.” Evidence showing that the report had been changed affected the jury’s decision, the jury foreman told the newspaper. “And this guy’s presenting evidence in a murder trial and he’s got two different reports with the same date on ’em and nothing indicating his information has changed,” foreman Landon Potts said. “Everybody

on the jury was stunned by that. I think that really crippled the prosecution’s case from the beginning.” Bannon, who provided a copy of the SBI letter Friday to The AP via e-mail, was part of a group of criminal defense attorneys who met in March with staffers from the Attorney General’s Office to express their concerns about SBI work. That led to the internal review, during which Bannon was interviewed about Thomas’ work and the Turner case. The voice mail at Thomas’ SBI office in Greensboro said he was out of the office until Aug. 18, and Deaver has declined repeated attempts by the AP to interview him. Bannon did not immediately respond to phone calls or e-mails to discuss the letter.

Democrats aren’t spending big in race for Senate

GOLDSBORO (AP) — The supervisor of a former Camp Lejeune Marine accused of killing his pregnant colleague testified Friday that ex-Marine Cesar Laurean was one of the best troops of his rank he has ever led. Chief Warrant Officer Joel Larsen was Laurean’s boss when the then-corporal was a personnel clerk in a combat logistics regiment at Camp Lejeune. Larsen called Laurean one of the top five non-commissioned officers of the 50 or 60 he had commanded over an 18 year Marine Corps career. “The corporal was a stellar performer,” Larsen said Laurean, 23, of Las Vegas, is on trial for first-degree murder in the slaying of Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, of Vandalia, Ohio. Laurean has pleaded not guilty. He faces life in prison if convicted. Laurean was kicked out of the Marines after fleeing hours before investigators found Lauterbach’s body on Jan. 12, 2008. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Laurean was arrested in western Mexico in April 2008 after an international manhunt. Prosecutors agreed not to seek the death penalty so Mexico would return Laurean to the U.S. Lauterbach accused Laure-

an in May 2007 of raping her and fathering her unborn baby. She later told a military prosecutor that Laurean couldn’t be the father based on a medical examination and recalculated conception date. A DNA test showed Laurean was not the father. A Marine who was friendly with Laurean at the time testified Thursday that Laurean confessed having consensual sex with the lowerranking Lauterbach. The rape allegation still darkened Laurean’s career, but after seven months military investigators had not charged him by the time Lauterbach disappeared in December 2007. The military equivalent of a civilian grand jury proceeding was coming up, which would determine whether there was enough evidence to pursue charges against Laurean, Larsen said. Larsen said he did not know Lauterbach well. But her reputation in the unit was “that she’s not truthful all the time,” Larsen said. Defense attorney Dick McNeil told jurors in opening statements that while prosecutors had to prove Laurean’s guilty, they should be aware of the stress the rape allegation had caused Laurean.

Federal disclosures show the DSCC spent some $1.5 million that August opposing Dole, with spending accelerating as the November election got closer. DSCC officials declined to discuss details on its spending decisions for this year’s races. The group went up with an advertisement in Pennsylvania on Friday but says it is in frequent communication with the Marshall campaign and offering staffing and strategy support. “This is a major pick-up opportunity,” said DSCC spokesman Jared Leopold.

He’s tapped a broad network of donors, with just 70 percent of individual donations coming from within the state and money coming from a variety of sectors, including lobbyists, the retired and health professionals. He’s also drawn more than $2 million from political action committees, the fundraising arms of companies, interest groups and other politicians.

RALEIGH (AP) — Democratic Party leaders are showing no signs of launching an advertising blitz in North Carolina’s race for U.S. Senate even though a media push two years ago altered the dynamics of a similar campaign. By the middle of August 2008, national Democrats began targeting then-Sen. Elizabeth Dole with a series of negative ads that observers say were critical in turning North Carolina voters against her. This year, the party’s silence poses a challenge for Democratic challenger Elaine Marshall, who already lags Republican Sen. Richard Burr by millions of fundraising dollars. “Elaine Marshall is simply way, way behind,” said Ferrel Guillory, who tracks political trends at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “She needs some help from national Democrats. That will be a key part of her campaign.” In 2008, Democrats fielded little-known state Sen. Kay Hagan to challenge nationally-known Republican Sen. Elizabeth Dole. Hagan lagged far behind Dole in fundraising but got a boost when the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee flooded airwaves with ads

$600 million border security bill signed; more agents to be hired WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama signed a bill directing $600 million more to securing the U.S.-Mexico border, a modest election-year victory that underscores his failure so far to deliver an overhaul of immigration law. The new law will pay for the hiring of 1,000 more Border Patrol agents to be deployed at critical areas, as well as more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. It provides for new communications equipment and greater use of unmanned surveillance drones. The Justice Department gets more money to help catch drug dealers and human traffickers. But the bill fell short by the standards Obama has set for dealing with the immigration problem. In a speech last month Obama reiterated his commitment to a comprehensive approach that would secure the border but also address the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country. “Our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols,” the president said then. “It won’t work.”

RAMLE, Israel (AP) — Israeli police said Friday the suspect in stabbings in three states also was a suspect in a separate stabbing attack in Israel earlier this year, but charges were never pressed. A senior police commander said Elias Abuelazam was believed to have stabbed a close acquaintance during an argument in a parked car in central Israel about six months ago. The commander said police dropped the case because the victim refused to cooperate with investigators. The commander spoke on condition of anonymity because he was barred from speaking to the media under official policy. Abuelazam is suspected of attacking people in Michigan, Ohio and Virginia, leaving five people dead and 13 wounded. He was arrested Wednesday in Atlanta as he prepared to board a flight to his native Israel. The 33-year-old man appeared in an Atlanta courtroom Friday, agreeing during a brief hearing to return to Michigan to face charges. Authorities said more charges were expected in the three states.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia announced Friday it will begin the startup next week of Iran’s only atomic power plant, giving Tehran a boost as it struggles with international sanctions and highlighting differences between Moscow and Washington over pressuring the Islamic Republic to give up activities that could be used to make nuclear arms. Uranium fuel shipped by Russia will be loaded into the Bushehr reactor on Aug. 21, beginning a process that will last about a month and end with the reactor sending electricity to Iranian cities, Russian and Iranian officials said. “From that moment, the Bushehr plant will be officially considered a nuclear energy installation,” said Sergei Novikov, a spokesman for the Russian nuclear agency. If Russia carries out its plan, it will end years of footdragging on Bushehr. While Moscow signed a $1 billion contract to build the plant in 1995, its completion has been put off for years. Moscow has cited technical reasons for the delays. But Bushehr has also been an ideal way to gain leverage with both Tehran and Washington.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP’s broken oil well is not dead yet. The government’s point man on the crisis said Friday that the blown-out well is not securely plugged to his satisfaction and that the drilling of the relief well — long regarded as the only way to ensure that the hole at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico never leaks oil again — must go forward. “The relief well will be finished,” said retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen. “We will kill the well.” Work on the relief well was suspended earlier this week because of bad weather. Allen did not say when it would resume, but when the order comes, it could take four days to get the operation up and running again. From there, it could be only a matter of days before the “bottom kill” is done and the blown-out well that wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast economy and environment is no longer a threat.

Susan called her mother every morning at 7:30 a.m. They might talk for only a few minutes or they might talk for an hour, but they spoke every day. Cliff recalled that he stood in the same spot 41 years and 4 days before, when he married Susan. Walter was not as quite as excited as Hope was, and Hope became a mother to him after he lost his own mother soon after. “I feel Hope’s influence every day through my wife and my three daughters,” he said.

EMS division chief retiring

admit this, my mother

One of those dear friends, Hope Safrit, 93, was laid to rest on Aug. 6. Mother asked if I would go with her to the funeral and of course I said I would. When we arrived at the church, the lady at the door greeted Mother as “Miss YMCA.” The Y was as important to Mother as it was to Hope and her husband, Walter. Their children, Wally SUSAN and Susan, SHINN knew how important it was, too. Wally knew his dad, who died in 2003, was well-known in the community and had made many contributions. He felt like his mom, who taught language arts for 35 years, perhaps had less of an impact. “I was dead wrong,” Wally said Monday. “She was equal to him in all respects.” Walter adored his wife and was fond of calling her “my only Hope.” After Hope died, Wally received many calls of condolence, and a recurring theme was how much the callers respected Hope as a teacher. How she was their hardest, best teacher. How some of them wanted to teach because of her. “It made me feel proud,” Wally says. Every time a former student told him, “Remember me to your mom,” she always remembered them, too. The Rev. Sarah Snell met Hope and Walter when she was chaplain at Piedmont Crossing Retirement Community in Thomasville. When Hope spoke of her three “lovely, gifted granddaughters,” that was the last time she really rallied, Sarah said. Sarah characterized Hope as a “good-hearted troublemaker.” Hope had two requests when she asked Sarah to help with her funeral. She wanted the hymn “How Great Thou Art” and she told Sarah to “keep it short.” Cliff Wallace was Hope’s son-in-law, and delivered her eulogy.

fetch her a glass of water, and was told my one flight attendant he needed to take his seat. “Oh, that’s OK,” the other one said. “That’s Hope’s boy.” At 87, she had climbed the Great Wall of China, in the snow, Wally said. Just before she died, Cliff and Susan rubbed her feet and her back. Hope was ready to make another journey.

Emergency Medical Services Division Chief Beth Connell has announced her retirement from the Rowan County Emergency Services Department effective Aug. 31. Department Training Officer Lennie Cooper has been selected to succeed Connell, beginning Sept. 1. Connell joined Rowan County in December of 1989 as manager of the EMS Division. “The years have flown by and after 20 plus years I am retiring from Emergency Services,” said Connell. “In 1989 when I came this was an EMT-Intermediate service with four ambulances on the road. Through the dedication of EMS Division employees the service has flourished.” Under Connell’s tenure, the division has grown currently to six stations and seven ambulances, which CONNELL are responsible for answering more than 13,000 calls for service annually. Connell’s highest praise is for the staff and personnel. “Many lives have been spared, she said. “Many patients owe their good outcomes to the talented paramedics and EMTs here. It has been my pleasure to serve as the EMS Division Chief.” Connell said her days with EMS have never been dull. “These days have been frustrating, exciting, exasperating, challenging and fulfilling,” she said. “I leave proud of my contributions and the hard work of my colleagues. Emergency Services employees live our mission.” Cooper was selected after a multi-week application and interview process. “Cooper has clearly shown the leadership and management skills necessary to guide our EMS division to the next level,” said Frank Thomason, chief of the Rowan County Emergency Services Department. “He has the big picture in mind and right vision to get the job done.” Cooper joined Rowan County in July 1994 as a field paramedic and also was an assistant shift supervisor from 1998 until 2006, when he was promoted to the department’s first training officer. As training officer, he has been responsible for the development of a department-wide training program that includes EMS, Fire and Emergency Management Divisions.

Copper stolen from cell phone tower A Verizon Wireless tower at 145 Dan St. was stripped of $18,000 worth of copper panels and wiring sometime between Tuesday and Thursday. The Verizon tower was home to five other cell phone companies — AT&T, Cricket, Nextel, T-Mobile and Sprint. Police estimate each cell phone company lost an average of $3,000. According to Salisbury Police Lt. Alan Armour, the perpetrators scaled the chain-link fence surrounding the tower, leaving behind muddy footprints. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 704-638-5333.

You can run but you can’t hide — or at least the saying is true for Alan Simcox. Deputies found Simcox in a kitchen cabinet after a failed attempt to avoid arrest, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said. Simcox, 21, was wanted for failure to appear in court, authorities said, and ended up with a charge of resisting arrest once a deputy opened a kitchen cabinet and saw his feet. According to the Sheriff’s Office, here’s what happened: Deputies knocked on the door at Simcox’s 3115 Back Creek Church Road home in Mount Ulla Wednesday. When no one answered, the SIMCOX deputies knocked again and a woman came to the door. The woman told deputies Simcox had been home earlier in the day but that she didn’t know if he was there at the time. As deputies checked the residence, the kitchen cabinets were their last stop. They opened the cabinet under the kitchen sink and saw a pair of feet. Simcox is currently in the Rowan County jail under a $3,500 secured bond.

body who had anything to do with this wonderful family,” she said. Ryan Arnold went into cardiac arrest Aug. 1 and then fell into a coma, Rod Arnold said. The coroner hasn’t determined a cause of death, he said. “He was a man of uncommon character and someone I looked up to,” Rod Arnold said. “What he did for Chad was really just an extension of how he lived his life.” Rod Arnold said his brother “never really wavered” in his decision to give part of his liver to help his brother battle an incurable liver disease known as PSC. “From the beginning he just said, ’I gotta do this,”’ Rod Arnold said. Shortly before the procedure, Ryan Arnold told KDVR-TV he wanted to give his brother the chance to live a long life. “I’m healthy and I know I’ll stay healthy,” Ryan Arnold told the television station. “I’ll recover and I want to see him do the things he wants to do, and spend time with his family, and I want to have him around for a long time.” Rod Arnold said that shortly after the procedure, Ryan went to Chad’s hospital room and told him, “I love you bro’, you’re worth it. I believe in you.” Ryan Arnold is survived by his wife, Shannon, and three sons, ages 1, 4, and 6. Ryan Arnold was an orthodontist in Watertown and was planning to take over his father’s practice there. He loved “pretty much anything outdoors” and spent nearly every moment with his children, going to the lake on a boat and tubing, Rod Arnold said. He enjoyed hunting and fishing and was committed to his church. “Our desire, if possible, is that what comes out of this is an awareness of the kind of man Ryan was,” Rod Arnold said.

Bike sold for $5 in Ky. once belonged to Landis LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — The bicycle had two flat tires, but Greg Estes figured the $5 asking price still made it a great bargain at a yard sale. Little did he know just how great. Estes checked on the bike’s origin after buying it in Owenton this month. He was shocked to learn it may be worth as much as $8,000 and was custom built for cycling star Floyd Landis, who used it in the 2007 Leadville 100, a mountain bike race in Colorado. Landis crashed but finished second in that race, which was shortly after his victory in the 2006 Tour de France, a win since vacated due to doping charges. “It’s a Cadillac of bicycles, that’s for sure,” said Estes, 38, of Owenton. “It’s just unreal how good it rides.” A sticker on the bike told him it was custom built by Cyco-Path Bicycles out of Temecula, Calif., near San Diego. Store manager Loren Foley said he was stunned when Estes started describing the parts, knowing the company had made only one such model and they remembered it well considering Landis’ celebrity at the time. Foley dug up photographs of the Colorado race to be sure and recognized Landis’ crashed bicycle as identical to the model Estes was describing. “It’s even got the same under-the-seat gear bag, the same tires,” Foley said. “It’s definitely the same bike.” As for value, Foley said Estes could expect to collect $5,500 to $6,000 for it on the open market — maybe quite a bit more if he gets actual value or a premium because it once belonged to a celebrity.

For fun, Estes put the bike in his own yard sale, replacing the $5 price tag with a $6,000 one. He got no takers, but a lot of perplexed looks. He says he planned to resell it ever since he bought it, and certainly does now. “I was planning on making a couple hundred dollars off it,” Estes said. “Never dreamed it would come out to be an $8,000 bicycle. Kind of just blows your mind, something like that.” Estes says he understands how the bike got discounted. Besides the flat tires, it had pedals that the yard sale owner thought were broken but actually are the smaller, clip-in pedals used by serious riders. The bigger mystery, however, is how it got to the yard sale at all. The seller told Estes her family found it on the side of an interstate highway in Kentucky. Landis did not immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press seeking comment. He recently returned to the spotlight when he sent e-mails to cycling officials that accused ex-teammate Armstrong, along with his longtime doctor and trainer, and numerous other U.S. cyclists, of running an organized doping program earlier this decade. Armstrong has strongly denied the allegations. Estes says he offered the previous yard sale owner part of the profits if he resells, but her response was finders, keepers. “If someone lost it or had it stolen and wants it back, they can have it back, but it’s going to take some serious documentation,” Estes said. “They’re going to have to show some big-time proof.”

Richie Hayward, co-founder of Little Feat, dies NEW YORK (AP) — Richie Hayward, co-founder of the Little Feat, an eclectic jamband that maintained a strong cult following throughout the decades, has died. He was 64. The drummer had been suffering from liver cancer and died Thursday at a hospital near Vancouver, Canada, after complications of pneumonia, his publicist, Bridget Nolan, confirmed Friday. “He was waiting for a liver transplant,” said Nolan. Over the past year, benefits had been staged on Hayward’s behalf; he had no health insurance. In a letter to fans last August, Hayward wrote about his predicament, but sounded hopeful: “My intent is to come back to the band, as soon as I am physically able. Your love and support will mean a lot to me, more than I can say. I love and will miss you all, and I will see you again on the proud highway.” He last performed with the band on July 11. Hayward helped form Little Feat in 1969, along with frontman Lowell George, Bill Payne and Roy Estrada. The jamband mixed a variety of genres including rock, country, jazz and blues, and were known for songs like “Willin.” The group fell apart in 1979 after George died, but reformed in 1987, and had been a fixture on the touring circuit. Besides his work with Little Feat, Hayward also performed with acts including Eric Clapton, Robert Plant, Buddy Guy and Barbra Streisand.

South Dakota man dies after donating part of liver DENVER (AP) — A Colorado hospital announced Friday that it has temporarily suspended live donor liver transplants while it investigates the death of a South Dakota man who donated part of his liver to his brother. The death would be Colorado’s first of a live liver donor and the fourth in the country if it’s ruled it was a result of the procedure, according to the United Network of Organ Sharing. The University of Colorado Hospital, which performed its first successful live donor liver transplant in 1997, is continuing other transplants but is “taking a step back” from live donor liver transplants following the death of 34-year-old Ryan Arnold of Watertown, S.D., a hospital spokeswoman said Friday. “If there’s something that needs to be corrected, we will correct it,” spokeswoman Erika Matich said. The hospital has conducted 141 successful live donor liver transplants. Ryan Arnold died Aug. 2, four days after the surgery in which he gave part of his liver to his brother Chad, 38, who lives in suburban Denver. Chad Arnold was home briefly but was readmitted to a Denver-area hospital to continue his recovery from a liver disease. “I think overall his attitude is to make his life count,” said Rod Arnold, 42, referring to how his brother Chad is holding up. UNOS spokesman Joel Newman said the living donor liver transplants are relatively rare in the U.S., where the procedure has been conducted 4,126 times since 1989. In addition to an internal investigation, the hospital has also requested that physicians who are members of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons review the case, Matich said. “Everybody at the hospital is very distraught, any-

DARTS AND LAURELS

A Legion legacy in GQ Laurels to Livengood-Peeler-Wood American Legion Post 448 for deeding their building to Granite Quarry. This is a legacy that will help perpetuate the post while giving the town a community center. Behind the story, there’s the poignant reminder of the passing of a generation of veterans. Of the 90 men who founded Post 448 in the wake of World War II, only nine remain. That’s a scenario being played out at many other posts. Across the country, Legion membership has been declining with the aging of World War II and Korean War veterans. Although the American Legion, chartered in 1919, remains the largest veterans organization in the world, it’s had a harder time connecting with a younger generation of veterans. Yet when you read about the difficulty some of these young vets have in transitioning back into civilian life, it’s clear they need what Legion posts have always provided — camaraderie, acceptance and understanding. Thanks to this gift, veterans can continue to call Post 448 home, and the town of Granite Quarry is doing its part to support veterans and the Legion mission while providing a useful venue for the community. • • • Dart to a lot of dead fish at Lake Norman. More than 7,000 striped bass have died in what is apparently the largest reported fish kill at the lake in more than 20 years. The kill appears similar to last fall’s fish kill at High Rock Lake, when thousands of dead fish turned up in a cove. Although some attributed the High Rock kill to a sewage spill into the Yadkin River, state officials said it more likely stemmed from oxygen deprivation. Oxygen stratification is a natural phenomenon, but biologists say it’s exacerbated during warmer weather when electricity demand rises and power companies use more lower-level water to cool their generating systems. Here’s another reason to reduce energy use: Help save the bass while cutting your power bill. • • • Laurels and happy birthday to the Social Security system, which celebrates its 75th anniversary this week. FDR signed the Social Security Act into law on Aug. 14, 1935. The 75th anniversary correlates with a more dubious milestone: For the first time since the 1980s, Social Security is paying out more than it collects in payroll taxes. The outlook for the next 75 years is gloomy. Thanks to decades of “transfers,” along with longer lifespans, Social Security’s combined retirement and disability trust funds are expected to be depleted by 2037. Although solutions are on the table — some combination of benefit cuts and Social Security tax increases — prospects for timely action are slim and none. Before we can fix Social Security, we have to get past political insecurity.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.” — Miguel de Cervantes

Moderately confused

n the eve of what would have been her 85th birthday, I went to church to give thanks for all that my mother was to me, and all that she was not. There are things we want to remember about those we love, and things we’d rather forget. But to understand the whole, it helps to have all its parts. My mother was a 5,000piece jigsaw puzSHARON zle. More than a RANDALL few of those pieces are missing. She’s been gone 15 years and still, for some reason, I keep trying to fit them together. Pulling into the church parking lot, I cut off another late comer and grabbed the last space within survival distance of the door. (In the desert, in August, when it’s 109, every inch counts.) As I unfolded the sunshade and nearly lost my religion trying to wedge it against the windshield, I suddenly felt my face wrinkle up in a grin. If my mother could only see me now, she’d be spinning in her grave. This was not, to put it mildly, a place of worship she would have chosen for me. For one thing, it was not Southern Baptist, the denomination in which I was “raised right”; it was Lutheran, of all things, which in her freely offered opinion would have been about as godly as spending Sunday morning at Walmart. Second, and more important, it was not located in the small Southern town where I grew up, and where she lived most of her life until she died; it was in Las Vegas, of all places, where I now make my home, a fact that, had she known, would’ve confirmed her greatest fear that I’m either a heathen or just plain crazy. We didn’t often see anything eye-to-eye, she and I. And yet I long to see her more clearly. I slipped into the back row near the end of the first hymn, and tried to hum the tune. It wasn’t really a hymn, at least, not one of the ones I learned as a child, the ones my mother and her sisters sang on the porch. In all my childhood memories, I can hear their voices, singing, laughing, swapping stories, fighting like a pack of feral cats. Born in the midst of nine girls, my mother had little chance to feel “special.” She married my father at 15, bore the first of four children at 17, and became a grandmother at 36. She never finished high school, but earned an education in what she called the “school of hard knocks,” worked as a waitress and a mill hand most of her life. I know her history — dates, places, marriages, facts — about as well as I know my own. But I know little of what went on in her heart. The pieces are all scattered and frayed. I remember how she fought to keep my blind brother in school until he learned to read Braille. I recall once seeing her eyes well up when we passed on the street a man she had loved. I can still feel the brush of her hand on my hair the day I left home to go off to college. And I will never forget that light, how she shined, when I came home after years away to introduce her to my first child. I don’t know why some things were so hard for her. Like saying “I love you,” or “I’m proud of you,” or “I’m sorry I hurt you” — things she wanted to say, but struggled to find the words. Those were some of the pieces she took with her to her grave. What I do know about my mother— and what I hope my children will say of me, too — is that she did the best she could. That is my prayer for her 85th birthday, in this “heathen” church in Sin City, of all places, where it’s 109 in the parking lot and they serve wine, not grape juice, for communion. I want her to know she did her best. I may be crazy, but I’m no heathen. Grace is sufficient for any sin. We all do the best we can. And sometimes it’s enough. • • • Contact Sharon Randall at www.sharonrandall.com.

Jen’s spin on parenthood ill O’Reilly’s attention had been on Barack Obama and other national political figures for a stretch —- until Jennifer Aniston opened her mouth. Her comments regarding modern motherhood didn’t score well in the “no spin zone.” During a recent “The O’Reilly Factor” segment, the Fox News star hosted a “culture war” debate addressing Aniston’s recent comments about women and motherhood, relating to her new artificial-insemination comedy with Jason Bateman, “The Switch.” During a press conference about it, Aniston explained: “The point of the movie is, KATHRYN is it that defines family? JEAN LOPEZ what It isn’t necessarily the traditional mother, father, two children and a dog named Spot,” she said. “Love is love and family is what is around you and who is in your immediate sphere. That is what I love about this movie. It is saying it is not the traditional sort of stereotype of what we have been taught as a society of what family is. “Times,” she continued, “have changed, and that is also what is amazing is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents’ days when you can’t have children because you have waited too long. ... Women are realizing it more and more knowing that they don’t have to settle with a man just to have that child.” O’Reilly pushed back against that message. “She’s throwing a message out to 12year-olds and 13-year-olds that ‘hey, you don’t need a guy, you don’t need a dad,’ ” he said. “That’s destructive to our society.” The entertainment blogs immediately seized on O’Reilly’s comments, caricaturing his criticism as ridiculous. It is, of course, a fact that there are alternatives that exist today for women — especially women of means — to have children in ways that their grandmothers and even mothers didn’t have. But it doesn’t follow that we should necessarily embrace these alternatives. Aniston is right to say that “there are children that don’t have homes that have a home and can be loved. And that’s extremely important.” There are, absolutely, occasions where a child needs love, doesn’t have it, and someone is able to provide it in an unconventional way. These exceptions, however, are not reasons to toss out everything we know to be true about moms and dads and the need for them as a single unit. And this, also, isn’t what we’re talking about in we-women-canhave-babies-however-we-like comedies. This column is not a review of “The Switch.” I haven’t seen it but expect to, despite Aniston’s opinions. It’s put together by some of the same people behind “Juno,” which was a messy story about responsibility and redemption. That’s art. Too often, though, what passes as art today is just an affirmation of mistakes. Instead of inspiring, it seeks to issue an official, collective “it’s OK” about decisions we used to have some healthy sense of shame about. A Hollywood imprimatur only plays a role in covering up what’s not OK. Another movie this summer, “The Kids Are All Right,” lets this slip show. The movie is about a lesbian couple, their two kids and

the sperm donor who gets a phone call from an 18-year-old in need of a father. The kids, in other words, are not all right. My Daddy’s Name Is Donor, a recent study from the Commission on Parenthood’s Future, found that children born after a sperm-bank commercial exchange suffer more feelings of loss, confusion and isolation compared to kids raised in a household with a mom and a dad. And “to fill the paternal hole in their soul,” they often turn to drugs and alcohol, or get in trouble with the law, as W. Bradford Wilcox from the commission, explains. Further: “the offspring of maverick moms are 177 percent more likely to have a problem with substance abuse and are 146 percent more likely to report having had a runin with the law, compared with offspring of two biological parents.” Are 12-year-old girls going to run out to get artifiASSOCIATED PRESS cially inseminatIn ‘The Switch,’ Jennifer ed because Jennifer Aniston Aniston portrays a woman who becomes a points to it as a perfectly mainmother through artificial stream option for insemination. a modern woman? Of course not. But might a look at a movie trailer just be another cultural influence telling her that Chelsea Clinton getting married is just a throwback to an old custom we used to have? As my colleague Richard Brookhiser wrote in response to the Quayle speech: “Culture affects behavior. Dan Quayle isn’t the only person who believes this. Every feminist who applauded ‘Thelma and Louise,’ every parent who wonders about the effects of copshow violence on his kids, every aging rock critic who credits Elvis with jolting America out of the sexless somnolence of the ’50s thinks culture changes hearts and minds. The question is: In what direction?” This was the question Bill O’Reilly was asking. This is the question Dan Quayle was asking. Back in the infamous speech, Quayle said: “It’s time to talk again about family, hard work, integrity and personal responsibility. We cannot be embarrassed out of our belief that two parents, married to each other, are better in most cases for children than one. That honest work is better than hand-outs — or crime. That we are our brothers’ keepers. That it’s worth making an effort, even when the rewards aren’t immediate.” That moment has not passed. The traditional family is not a “stereotype,” but a foundation of civilization. And it is not too late to remind 12-year-old girls of who they can be. And that they can even want it. • • • Kathryn Lopez is the editor of National Review Online. E-mail: klopez@national review.com.

NOAA: Distress beacon registered to Alaska plane phone and Internet company to which the plane was registered, referred questions about the beacon to NTSB. Whether those who died would have been helped by a quicker response seems unlikely, state medical examiner Dr. Katherine Raven said. While she couldn’t speak to any specific case due to confidentiality rules, she said that injuries sustained were “severe and fatal� and a quicker response to the site probably wouldn’t have made a difference. She said the victims died from blunt-force trauma sustained in the accident. But there were four survivors: an Anchorage hospital on Friday upgraded former NASA chief Sean O’Keefe from critical to serious condition. O’Keefe’s son, Kevin O’Keefe, remained in fair condition. Jim Morhard also was in fair condition, and William “Willy� Phillips Jr. was in good condition. Hersman said Thursday that investigators were looking at weather, pilot information and plane maintenance records. Departure times gleaned by investigators have differed by about an hour, as has the timing of the wreckage discovery. There was no black box or flight plan filed — though a flight plan wasn’t required, authorities have said. Pilot Theron Smith was involved in a 1997 incident, in which his plane nosed over during a landing at an airport in King Salmon, according to an NTSB report. No one was injured. Smith was a temporary replace-

GCI President and CEO Ron Duncan told the Anchorage Daily News that Smith was familiar with the route and had flown it dozens of times over the 10 days just before the crash.

Morris said about 13 people originally came out to the lodge last Saturday for what he characterized as “primarily a Stevens’ trip.� He said Stevens, for years, used GCI’s lodge — and others, around Alaska — to show politicians and regulators what life in rural Alaska was like. Morris said the group was made up primarily of colleagues and friends of Stevens, and the event was being hosted by several GCI executives who had known members of the group for years.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A 36-foot crack in the Upper Big Branch mine isn’t venting methane and didn’t contribute to a blast in April that killed 29 men, a federal official said Friday, disputing a company’s claim that the crack could have caused the blast. The crack has been the subject of a running dispute between the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the mine’s owner, Virginia-based Massey Energy. Company officials have suggested a massive crack could have unexpectedly flooded the southern West Virginia mine with explosive methane gas. Ruling out any possible contributing factors at this point in the investigation is “completely irresponsible,� company spokesman Jeff Gillenwater said in an email. “No one investigating the tragedy at UBB should rush to judgment,� he said, insisting the crack merits further investigation. Some of the victims’ relatives said Massey told them the crack was 150 feet long. MSHA coal administrator Kevin Stricklin strongly disputed that in a media briefing earlier this week but couldn’t offer an exact measurement. Stricklin said he sent a geologist underground to measure the crack for a second time Thursday. The crack — near the longwall mining machine and a number of other, smaller cracks — was 36 feet long about 5 inches deep, he said. Investigators believe the April 5 explosion occurred in an area near the machine. But the geologist said the crack in the sandstone floor was “rootless,� meaning it did not lead to a coal seam, and was not venting methane, Stricklin said. Cracks and floor heaving are common in longwall mining, he said, and this one had no special significance. Stricklin wouldn’t rule out another crack elsewhere in the mine causing the blast. “I just didn’t want a family member thinking this

Orth, a Beaverton, Ore., resident who has spent the past six summers working at the fish camp, said people at the camp and lodge feared the worst had happened. “You’re hoping for the best, but there’s a bad feeling in your stomach,� he said. Stevens’ daughter said her father, a pilot in World War II, was an advocate of making planes safe. “He loved flying ... he got certified to fly floatplanes just a few years ago,� Lily Stevens Becker said Friday on the “Today� show. “He had no concerns about flying in Alaska, but he was concerned about making planes as safe as possible.� Hersman has said the plane lacked a technology Stevens had championed, technology intended to allow pilots to see cockpit displays, concise weather information and location of other aircraft in the area. But she said it had a “nicely equipped� cockpit and that investigators were still trying to get a sense for all the equipment on board. Maddock said the Federal Aviation Administration doesn’t require that aircraft use the more sophisticated-type beacon — just some type of emergency locator transmitter. Under the newer system, he said once an alert triggered by a crash or hard landing goes off, it usually takes just 6 to 10 minutes for a control center to receive the information.

JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A sophisticated beacon was registered to the plane that crashed in Alaska, killing former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens and four others, but it wasn’t clear whether it was onboard during the flight. If the type of beacon is properly registered, not only would a distress signal be picked up by a control center via satellites, but registration information — such as the owner’s name — would also appear. This is intended to allow officials to try to reach the plane, to help determine the nature of the alert, to rule out whether it’s a false alarm, and to get more detail about where an accident happened. A system database shows the beacon as registered to the Alaska plane, said Lt. Shawn Maddock, an operations support officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking program. But the chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, Deborah Hersman, said Thursday that no beacon or alert went off, and investigators were trying to determine if a locator device of some sort was on board. The float plane crashed Monday en route from a lodge to a southwest Alaska fishing camp. Had the most direct route been taken, the crash would have occurred about 15 minutes from the point of takeoff, according to Hersman. Camp guide Byron Orth said the lodge called guides to let them know the party was heading to the Nushagak River camp. But when no one showed up, Orth figured the trip had

Others with commuted sentences Three other murderers convicted in Rowan County had been death row, but their sentences were commuted to life in prison over the years. They are: • Wendell Flowers, who was serving a life sentence for murder when he killed another inmate at Piedmont Correctional Institution in 1989. Gov. Jim Hunt commuted Flowers’ sentence to life without parole less than 48 hours before his scheduled execution. • Anthony Hipps, who had also committed a previous murder and was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of Sheila Wall. When the state enacted a statute prohibiting the death penalty for the mentally retarded, Hipps was determined to meet the criteria. • Gary Wayne Long, who was convicted in the 1998 beating and stabbing death of his 73-year-old mother in their Kannapolis home. His death sentence was reversed on appeal because of an error in jury instructions. Kenerly agreed to life in prison rather than going through another trial. Contact Scott Jenkins at 704-797-4248.

down economy and we’ve got to look at what it’s going to add to the tax rate over time. “I know there are so many needs at the college, we will try to balance that with the decision that will be made Monday night.” Commissioner Jon Barber said he supports adding the bond referendum to the ballot. “Because we live in a representative democracy where citizens should have input, I will support RCCC’s request Monday,” he said. Barber said RCCC has been a vital economic development tool for the county. “What they are requesting is not out of line,” he said. • • • The board denied RCCC’s request for an additional $3.6 million to its $260,000 capital outlay budget, instead opting to allocate $200,000 to mend leaking roofs. “If we could pay for it through our fund balance we would, but we don’t have

CLAIMS FROM 1a to get the death penalty if the victim was white as they were if the victim was black. And the Michigan State study found that prosecutors in North Carolina capital murder trials excluded black jurors twice as often as they excluded whites. Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly said he supports the purpose stated in the law — that nobody is sentenced to death or executed because of a judgement in which race plays a part — but thinks the statute as written will only throw a wrench in the justice system. “Nobody wants to see race be a factor in any decision that takes place in our courts, let alone the ultimate decision of life or death,” he said Friday. “This statute, however, is so vague in my opinion ... and so poorly written that it will take 10 years of litigation to figure out what it means. And in the meantime, nobody’s going to be executed in North Carolina.” Proof of the vagueness of the law, he argues: Two of the convicts who filed claims in Rowan — Campbell and Smith — are white, and so were their victims; meanwhile, Chambers and Barnes were tried with a third black co-defendant who a jury sentenced to life in prison. “So it is a mystery to me how anybody could contend in

any of the four cases in Rowan County that race was a factor in those decisions,” Kenerly said. Here are the men convicted of murder in Rowan who filed claims under the Racial Justice Act: • Chambers and Barnes, along with Robert Lewis Blakeney, were convicted in the Oct. 29, 1992 home invasion and shooting deaths of B.P. and Ruby Tutterow in the elderly couple’s Park Avenue home. Chambers and Barnes each received a death sentence after a trial in March 1994. Blakeney, who testified during the sentencing phase that he went with the other two to rob the Tutterows but didn’t shoot anyone, got back-to-back life sentences for his role in the murders. Each also was sentenced to 120 years for armed robbery and burglary. Kenerly said the sentences showed the jury’s decision “was based on the merits of the individual case and not the race of the defendants.” • Campbell faces execution for the Sept. 9, 1992 murder of Katherine Price, a 20-year-old Kannapolis resident. Campbell abducted Price after she apparently stopped her car along Airport Road and offered him a ride. He forced her to drive to an area off N.C. 150 in the Millbridge community, where he raped and then stabbed her to death. Campbell admitted killing Price in a statement to investigators a week after the murder but recanted when the state said it would seek the

death penalty. • Smith sits on death row for the brutal murder of 18year-old Margaret Leighann Martin, who he chased down and stabbed 60 times before cutting her throat in her eastern Rowan County home in 2001. He was sentenced to death on May 29, 2002. Smith confessed to killing Martin. His defense attorneys contended, however, that he didn’t plan the murder but became enraged, grabbed a knife and attacked after Martin told him she didn’t want him hanging around her fiance because she thought Smith was a bad influence. Even if they were successful, the convicted killers wouldn’t leave prison, even those sentenced under old guidelines that allowed parole. But Kenerly worries the claims could tie up the system. The Racial Justice Act says the death-row inmates can try to prove not only that race played a part in their sentences but that it “was a significant factor in seeking or imposing the death penalty within the county, the prosecutorial district, the judicial division, or the state” and use that as grounds to set aside the sentence. Kenerly said in addition to motions to vacate the death sentences, he’s gotten motions asking for a list of everyone charged with murder in Rowan since 1990 and a detailed summary of how every decision was made in each case. He said that’s about 150 cases. “If I did nothing else, I es-

Senate candidate in S.C. indicted over online photos COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Longshot Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alvin Greene was indicted Friday on two charges, including a felony charge of showing pornography to a teenage student in a South Carolina college computer lab. Greene surprised the party establishment with his primary victory in June. His arrest in November was first reported by The Associated Press the day after he won the nomination. Authorities said he approached a student in a University of South Carolina computer lab, showed her obscene photos online, then talked about going to her dorm room. A Richland County grand jury indicted Greene, 32, for disseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity — a felony — as well as a misdemeanor charge of communicating obscene materials to a person without consent. If convicted, Greene could face up to three years in prison for the misdemeanor or up to five years for the felony. Greene declined comment at his home in Manning. He has refused to talk about the charge in past interviews, and his attorney did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Greene had visited the computer lab at the Bates House dorm in Columbia several times before his arrest, using an old student ID card to gain admission, according to campus police records. Dorm staffers told police they had asked security staff not to let him in, but reports did not give any more details. Greene graduated from South Carolina in 2000 with a political science degree. Greene, an unemployed military veteran, handily defeated Vic Rawl, a former lawmaker and judge who had been considered an easy

timate it would take me 18 months to two years to comply with that request if it was ordered by the court,” he said. To further complicate things in Rowan, Kenerly said the motions would have to be put on a court calendar by the county’s senior Superior Court judge. When Judge John Holshouser retires at the end of this month, Rowan won’t have anyone in that position until a new judge is elected and takes office. “None of us knows what the next step is,” he said.

win by Democrats. Up to that point, Greene had done no visible campaigning and had no website, fundraising or staff. After AP reported Greene’s arrest, South Carolina Democratic Party leaders called on him to withdraw his candidacy. South Carolina law prohibits convicted felons from serving in state office, but there is no such rule for the U.S. House or Senate. Greene has said he’s staying in the race. In the months since his victory, Greene has given a series of awkward interviews to GREENE reporters clamoring for more information on the man who lives in Manning with his ailing father. In one interview, he suggested that the state’s economy could be improved by making and selling action figures depicting him in his uniform. Earlier this summer, the state Democratic Party upheld his nomination, denying a challenge filed by Rawl alleging voting abnormalities. State police also cleared Greene of any impropriety involving his $10,440 filing fee. Greene has said he saved up his military pay for two years, a claim police said was backed up by his bank records. Last month, Greene gave his first public speech, a 6 1⁄2minute recitation of his previous comments and commitment to jobs and education. On Thursday, he gave brief remarks to the executive committee of the state Democratic Party and asked them to support him, according to executive director Jay Parmley. Greene now has a website and says he has raised less than $1,000. He faces Republican U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint in the fall.

Jake Delhomme era provided a mixed bag for the new crew of arms Thursday night. Moore was hit, fumbled and be- MOORE came the victim of penalties, while Clausen had little time to throw and had a drive end with a

turnover at the goal line. Third-stringer Hunter Cantwell was hurt by dropped passes and protection trouble, too, in Baltimore’s 17-12 victory that produced no offensive touchdowns for Carolina. “I think all three quarterbacks did a good job — when they had time to pass,” coach John Fox said. The Panthers returned to Spartanburg late Friday for the last week of training camp hap-

py about the surprising pressure they got from their revamped defensive line, but they’re trying to sort out problems from what was supposed to be their strength, the offensive line. Carolina allowed seven sacks and the line was responsible for six penalties as it faced constant blitzing by the Ravens’ potent defense.

CARSON FOOTBALL

BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — On any snap, Deunta Williams has good reason to feel optimistic North Carolina’s defense will make a big play. one On side is a cornerback who could be a second-round NFL draft pick next year. In front of him are a pair of lineWILLIAMS backers who could go even higher. And in front of that duo are two linemen projected as likely first-rounders. It’s a defense that has a chance to special, one of those rare elite units. The squad ranked among the nation’s best last year and has carried the load for the Tar Heels as coach Butch Davis enters his fourth season at North Carolina. The Tar Heels aren’t trying to temper expectations of perfection and frequent shutouts. “It’s not unrealistic and we shouldn’t think that’s it unrealistic,” said Williams, a safety also projected as a high draft pick. “With our defense, I’ve got to believe that anything is possible.” How much success UNC’s defense has could depend on the NCAA investigation into whether defensive tackle Marvin Austin received improper benefits from agents. Yet even if Austin is sidelined, the Tar Heels still can be among the ACC’s top units. Austin, Williams, linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant, and cornerback Kendric Burney all decided in January to return for their senior seasons instead of heading to the NFL. Meanwhile, junior Robert Quinn (11 sacks in 2009) could be the top draft prospect of them all as a potentially elite pass rusher. “I expect them to improve,” Davis said. “If there are any kids on our defense that think they’re absolutely the very best they can be, they’re kidding themselves because there’s room for every one of them to be a better football player.” Todd McShay, the director of college scouting for ESPN Scouts Inc., compared North Carolina’s potential NFL talent on defense to the USC unit of 2008 that had a pair of first rounders in linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews to headline eight Trojans defenders picked in the 2009 draft. McShay grades Quinn and Austin as “pretty close to surefire” first-rounders; Carter, Sturdivant and Williams as late first- or early second-rounders; and Burney as a possible secondround pick. Even relatively unheralded cornerback Charles Brown grades out as a possible fourth- or fifthrounder.

Last loss motivates Cougars ark Woody’s players came to him recently and wanted to watch film. No surprise there. This football team is focused on bettering last season’s 7-6 record. The surprise was the film they chose to watch: the Cougars’ 21-15 loss to Cardinal Gibbons in the second round of the 3A playoffs. “A lot of them realize how close we RONNIE to the third GALLAGHER were round,” Woody said. “They know they should’ve won that game.”

What the players saw on film couldn’t have been fun to watch. In fact, star running back Shaun Warren said, “I didn’t watch it.” He still remembers his fumbles that halted scoring drives. “He took it really hard,” Woody said. But that’s why it was a good idea to watch it. Woody says this senior class is using the loss for motivation. “We killed them up and down the field,” quarterback Zack Gragg said. “Fumbles killed us.” It would have been — and should have been — the biggest upset of the second round. Carson drove up and down the field but four fumbles, two inside the 20, did in the Cougars.

“We expected to win, and when players expect to win, that’s good,” Woody said. His expectations were the same. “I remember watching film on Cardinal Gibbons and talking to my coaches,” Woody said. “I said, ‘We’re going to dominate this game.’ ” WOODY Big talk from a ninth seed in the playoffs for the first time in school history — a history that was only four years old. On top of that, Carson was going up against the East’s

No. 1 seed. But, in Woody’s mind, Carson had more speed and was a better passing team. Then he walked up to a field he was sure had been doctored. Rather, watered down. “It was awful,” he said. “I didn’t think anything about it until I walked up there. It was like a swamp. It really was.” Trying to stop Carson’s speed? “They did a good job,” Woody sighed. The soggy conditions didn’t really stop Carson. Receiver Cody Clanton caught six passes for 144 yards. Warren ran for 125 on 24 carries.

With future clear, Kahne claims Michigan pole Associated Press

associated press

KASEY KAHNE

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Kasey Kahne’s future has been settled. The present doesn’t look too bad for him, either. After finally finding out where he’ll be driving next season, Kahne turned in an impressive performance for his current team Friday with a lap of 187.183 mph to win the pole position for Sunday’s Sprint Cup race at Michigan International Speedway. Kahne isn’t sure whether facing an unsettled future affected his driving in recent weeks, but he does know it’s nice to know he’ll be driving for Red Bull Racing next season. “I don’t know how much that’s been on my mind,” Kahne said. “It’s hard to say. I feel like I’m focused pretty good each week and really trying to do the right thing. It’s something I definitely think about a lot. So I think that can help me some.” It is Kahne’s second pole of the season and the 18th of his career. Jimmie Johnson qualified second, followed by Clint Bowyer, Tony Stewart and Juan Pablo Montoya. It has been a big week for Kahne, who currently drives

for Richard Petty Motorsports but has signed a contract with Hendrick Motorsports. Because Hendrick doesn’t have a seat open in 2011, it was announced this week that Kahne will spend next season with Red Bull. Kahne said he is looking forward to the move. “I want to win races and I want to run competitively and make the Chase — things that I think you can do there,” Kahne said. “Red Bull has shown that they can do (it) in the past. I feel like we’ll be able to do it next year.” For now, Kahne is trying to finish the season strong for his current team. “It’s nice to have that done with and to know for myself where I’m going, to know what I’m doing and focus on the end of the year,” Kahne said. Bowyer’s run was a boost for a team that comes into Sunday’s race 13th in the points and is scrambling to become eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “It was a well-needed run,” Bowyer said. “Obviously these are important times for us, the situation we are in racing for this Chase spot. Starting up front at a big race track like this, to be in the clean air and having an opportunity to have a good pit stall goes a

long ways toward a good run on Sunday. I’m very happy with the guys. Our cars are running well. We just keep having crazy things happen.” Johnson has yet to win a pole this season. “My future teammate had to come in and spoil our fun,” Johnson said. It was a miserable day for two of Johnson’s current Hendrick teammates. Dale Earn-

hardt Jr. qualified 38th and Jeff Gordon was only two spots better. There also was some shuffling at the back of the pack Friday, as driver Kevin Conway and his sponsor, ExtenZe, announced they were “suspending their program” with Front Row Motorsports. Tony Raines qualified the No. 34 car instead, coming in 39th.

MARK MARTIN Now he’ll definitely be out of Hendrick’s No. 5 car after the 2011 season. But Martin, 51, doesn’t know what he’ll do after that and isn’t in any hurry to decide. “I’m going to let it ride pretty deep into next year, I think, before I make any kind of decision,” Martin said. “Because I want to take the one that is most fulfilling to me, whatever that might be, whatever it entails. That’s what I want to do.” Martin insists it is his choice to leave the No. 5 after next season. “It’s still looking too far forward to think about what might happen in (2012),” Martin said. “That was just too far out for me to make that type of commitment, so life’s good right now.” And Martin made it clear that he doesn’t hold any resentment toward Kahne — instead, he insists he cares deeply about

finding a suitable replacement for a team he loves, and began recruiting Kahne before team owner Rick Hendrick did. “I started talking to Kasey Kahne in September of ’09,” Martin said. “I don’t think Rick Hendrick started talking to Kasey Kahne until February or March of this year. So he didn’t even now that I was talking to Kasey Kahne about coming over there, and of course Kasey just kind of laughed a little bit about it and said, ’You’ll never get out of that car.”’ Asked about Martin’s unstable relationship with the concept of retirement, Kyle Busch noted that Martin isn’t the only person in the sports world struggling with the issue. “Brett Favre doesn’t know either,” Busch said.

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Now that it’s over, Mark Martin can admit that the speculation about his future at Hendrick Motorsports was weighing on him. Confident that he’ll be in Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 5 car through the end of the 2011 season, Martin said the team mood feels much lighter this week. “I think as hard as we tried to not let it have any effect on us, I think it did have an effect on how you feel,” Martin said Friday at Michigan International Speedway. “It was fine for a while, but it wore on a long, long time.” Martin’s place at Hendrick was subject to speculation after the team signed Kasey Kahne without having an open seat for next season. Martin insisted all along that he wasn’t going to be forced out a year early to make room for Kahne, and lashed out at reporters after facing persistent questions about his future. The situation was settled this week when it was revealed that Kahne will drive for Red Bull Racing next year, then go to Hendrick in 2012. Martin said he regretted venting his frustration in public. “I reflect back on how I reacted in Indy and regret what I said there,” Martin said. “That came from the heart and not from the head. It was grinding on me, and I apologize for what I said and wish I hadn’t said what I said. I should’ve just continued to hold on to the high road just a little bit longer, and it would’ve been all OK. Anyway, we’re moving forward now.” Teammate Jimmie Johnson said Hendrick will benefit from knowing for sure that Martin will stick around for another year with a solid succession plan in place. “I’ve always said that I’ve been in a very tough position as a driver at Hendrick Motorsports because Mark Martin brings so much to the table that I don’t want to see him go anywhere,” Johnson said. “At the same time we have Kasey Kahne, who is going to bring a ton to the table as well and be there to work with him and develop that relationship. I guess I always try to find the positive in things and we have two very good situations.” But that doesn’t mean the NASCAR world suddenly will be free from speculation about the future of Martin, who once held a “Salute to You” tour to celebrate his impending retirement with fans. That was five years ago.

Roush vows to fly again despite vision trouble Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — NASCAR team owner Jack Roush was back at the track Friday, having permanently lost vision in his left eye but otherwise feeling lucky to survive yet another plane crash. And yes, he expects to fly again. Roush, who crashed his jet just over two weeks ago while trying to land at an air show in ROUSH Wisconsin, said he ruptured his left eyeball in the crash and doesn’t expect to ever be able to see out of it again. “Everything will come back, except for the eye,” he told reporters at Michigan International Speedway. Roush then joked that he uses his right eye to examine spark plugs anyway.

Wearing sunglasses and his trademark Panama-style hat, Roush was present on pit road for qualifying. In addition to his eye injury, he said he broke his jaw, sustained a compression fracture in his back and hurt his left cheek. Roush, an aviation buff who survived another crash in 2002, praised the plane’s safety characteristics and acknowledged his remarkable good luck. “I’ve been extremely lucky to have been able to survive,” he said. “I feel in some ways unworthy. I don’t know that I’ve done enough yet for the chances I’ve had.” And Roush said it was “very likely” that he will be at the controls of a plane again, although he doesn’t know when. “There’s not a reason why you can’t fly with one eye,” Roush said. MARTINSVILLE MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Martinsville Speedway says both of its Sprint Cup

races in 2011 will be a week later than usual, and it will host the Halloween weekend event that is currently held at Talladega. Martinsville officials say the 2011 Cup races will be on April 3 and Oct. 30. Martinsville officials say it likes its new fall race date because it falls later in the Chase and makes the short track even more important in deciding the Sprint Cup champion. DAYTONA DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Joie Chitwood III has been chosen president of Daytona International Speedway. International Speedway Corp. officials said in a statement that current track president Robin Braig will leave to “pursue other opportunities.” The 41-year-old Chitwood has been vice president of business development for ISC since 2009. He was president and COO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway before that.

Molder giving chase to teammate at Tech BY COLIN FLY Associated Press

Matt Kuchar acknowledges the crowd after finishing his second round.

Clearer view from the top Kuchar holds one-shot lead thanks to second-round 69 BY DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Matt Kuchar made a birdie on the first hole he played Friday to take the lead, and that’s where he wound up at the end of another long day at the PGA Championship. What it meant was as clear as the cloudy, darkening sky over Whistling Straits. Kuchar nearly holed out again from the 13th fairway on his way to a 69 that gave him a one-shot lead over Nick Watney, although half the field didn’t finish the second round and some players didn’t get past the fourth hole. In the most disjointed major of the year, Tiger Woods had breakfast three times before teeing off in the first round, and he teed off around dinnertime in the second round. Bubba Watson teed off some 30 hours after he finished his first round. “I was talking with my caddie this afternoon, and we were talking about something that happened this morning,” Watney said. “But we both thought it was yesterday. So it’s been a long day. I’ll have no trouble sleeping tonight and wake up tomorrow and see where we’re at.” Kuchar made birdie on the sixth hole when he resumed the first round Friday morning to finish off a 67. As a half-dozen players jockeyed for the lead in the afternoon, Kuchar took advantage when the wind was at his back and ran off three straight birdies on the back nine. That put him in the lead, and a series of pars into the wind kept him there. He was at 8-under 136, although he won’t find out until shortly before lunchtime today whether that will be enough to give him his first lead ever in a major championship. “Sitting around right now, it’s nice to be done,” said Kuchar, who woke up at 4 a.m. and left the course about 12 hours later. Woods finished six holes, and only the first one was routine. He had to scramble for par off a cart path, out of grass up to his knees and from a grassy knoll that made it tough for him to keep his balance. After the siren sounded to suspend play, Woods opted to finish the sixth hole. He chipped out of deep grass below the green and left himself a 5-foot birdie putt that spun 270 degrees around the cup and sent him home somber. Six holes, six pars. He remained at 1 under. “Had to hang in there and did a good job with that,” Woods told a PGA official. There was another fog delay, this one lasting just over 21⁄2 hours, and it played havoc on the starting times. Whistling Straits delivered its own share of misery at times, starting with European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie. He played in the same group with Kuchar and was 26 shots worse over two rounds, going 78-83.

QUINN “They’re still growing up,” McShay said. “They’re not perfect yet, but there’s just so much talent.” McShay cited last year’s win against CARTER Miami, saying he studied the film and noticed the Tar Heels generated enough pressure with their line that they didn’t have to bring extra rushers for the first three quarters. “You just can’t find many defenses that can do that,” he said. “So you’re consistently

Phil Mickelson took some unusual routes from tee-to-green, although some of his misses were so big that he wound up in the gallery, where the grass had been trampled. Mickelson carries extra gloves in his bag for souvenirs when he hits a fan, and he handed one out on the 15th hole, complete with a frown sign inside the “o” in “Sorry.” No apologies were necessarily when he scrambled his way to a 69, putting him at 2-under 142 and still very much alive in his quest to move to No. 1 in the world for the first time. “This is a penalizing golf course to not play from the fairway,” Mickelson said. “And I certainly explored a lot of areas here. First 27 holes for me to keep it around par was a feat, and I drove it better the last nine holes. ... I just want to be in a position where if I play like I know I can, I can make up some ground. And I feel like I’m within striking distance.” Join the crowd. Bryce Molder, once regarded as a can’tmiss kid when he played on the same Georgia Tech team as Kuchar, made an impressive debut in his first PGA Championship. He made five birdies in a six-hole stretch and wound up with a 67. That put him in a large group at 5-under 139 that included 19-year-old S.Y. Noh (71), 21-year-old Rory McIlroy (68), short-hitting Zach Johnson (70) and big-hitting Dustin Johnson (68). Dustin Johnson, the 54-hole leader in the U.S. Open until a memorable meltdown, made a sensational par save to start his day by blasting out of a bunker — one foot in the sand, one foot on a dune — from 50 yards away to about 10 feet. That was the 15th hole of the first round. Equally memorable was the tee shot he blasted on the par-5 fifth hole, leaving him only a wedge from 149 yards and a 35-foot eagle putt that turned his fortunes. “It fits me perfect,” he said when asked about the design of the fifth hole. Chad Campbell had another 70 and was alone — at the moment — at 4-under 140. But of the 78 players who had to return at 7 a.m. today to resume the second round — provided there’s no fog — Martin Laird and Francesco Molinari also were at 4 under. Kuchar is No. 7 in the Ryder Cup standings, and no matter where he winds up when the cut is made today, these were two big days toward securing a spot on his first team. He has called this a “great” year, referring to the eight top 10s, but he has yet to win. He put that Georgia Tech degree to good use in analyzing his slow-starting Tour career. “The goal for the week is to put yourself in contention on Sunday,” Kuchar said. “To win, there’s definitely an element of luck involved in winning. You just can’t control everything out there. If fate is on your side, you find yourself in the winner’s circle.”

North Carolina hires attorney as consultant for NCAA probe Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — North Carolina has hired an attorney who was a former NCAA staffer as a consultant as it deals with an investigation into the football program. Spokesman Kevin Best says the school has hired Rick Evrard from the Bond, Schoeneck & King law firm. Evrard is based in Overland Park, Kan. Evrard has worked with several institutions on NCAA issues regarding infractions and compliance. He also spent seven years with the NCAA, working in enforcement and later as director of legislative services. Best says the school first contacted Evrard in late June around the time the NCAA notified North Carolina of the inquiry. The NCAA is looking into whether defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents.

dropping seven (into coverage) and still getting pressure, and I think that’s key. If teams find a way to protect their quarterback against that front four, that’s when that defense has had some trouble.” And yes — despite ranking sixth nationally in total defense (270 yards), 10th against the run (96 yards), 13th in scoring defense (17 points)

and 14th against the pass (174 yards) while scoring six defensive touchdowns — the Tar Heels had some head-scratching moments last year. The defense lost its composure late as Florida State’s Christian Ponder completed 33 of 40 passes for 395 yards to cap a big rally in a 30-27 win. In a 28-27 loss to injuryravaged rival N.C. State, Wolfpack quarterback Russell Wil-

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Bryce Molder watched in awe as Matt Kuchar birdied hole after hole during their practice rounds together this week in preparation for the PGA Championship. Kuchar is the one that’s still shocked — that Molder hasn’t found more success on tour. The two highly touted college prospects during their time at Georgia Tech kept chasing each other Friday at Whistling Straits, just like they’ve done over the past 12 years and the more than 100 rounds they’ve played with each other. It just so happens this time it’s for the PGA Championship, with Kuchar at 8 under after a 69 on Friday and Molder three shots behind following a 67 in his second round. Gone are the expectations that came with the powerhouse Yellow Jackets program when they were together from 1998-2000. Kuchar, the 1997 U.S. Amateur champion, has two tour wins and Molder has yet to break through despite a stellar collegiate career of his own. “We thought it might happen a little sooner. Things happened. This game’s tough,” Molder said. “There’s a lot of really good players. Sometimes it takes a little while to figure out how to play your best, how to maximize your efforts out here. I feel like he’s just hitting his stride and I feel like I’m doing the same.” Kuchar turned pro a year earlier than Molder and watched his teammate’s game continue to develop, believing Molder would ascend rapidly in the pros. “I thought Bryce had no chinks in the armor,” said Kuchar, who has two wins on tour. “I thought out of school, he was hands-down the best player in college golf. I thought, there was a guy that’s going straight to the big leagues and going to do well out there.” It hasn’t happened, though the 32-year-old Molder is taking it in stride. “It’s funny, everybody, we’re finding out, has trouble throughout their career at some point or another,” Molder said. “I think 15 years from now, I’ll feel like I was fortunate to do it early and learn and be humbled by the experience.” Molder’s brilliant collegiate career included receiv-

Bryce Molder hits a shot from the rough at No. 18. ing All-American honors four straight years, joining Phil Mickelson, David Duval and Gary Hallberg as the only players to do it. He seemed on a fast track to PGA success. “I think most people would have expected the two of us to be doing this earlier on in our career,” Kuchar said. “But I remember talking to some guys when I was fresh on tour, talking to them about a 10-year learning curve out here. It didn’t make much sense.” The pair played 27 practice holes together this week, and Molder said Kuchar birdied 13 of them while he struggled and missed putts. While Molder said he owes Kuchar some money from those rounds, it committed him to staying patient and wait for opportunities.

Molder needed 22 holes before building momentum on the par-5 fifth on Friday, with the blustery winds at his back. “You have to assume at some point you’re going to get hot and trust yourself that you are, and I did,” Molder said. “I’m sitting at even par through 20-something holes and it can go one way or the other. You just kind of keep playing, and suddenly I’d birdied three holes in a row.” Molder believes that his breakthrough will come soon. “I feel like I’m just on the way to where I can play, should play, expect to play,” he said. “It’s just a matter of trying to find what you need to get there. It took me a little while, but it’s been a really, really fun journey.”

Daly says he’s not finishing round Associated Press

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — John Daly will not return to finish his second round at the PGA Championship because of a shoulder injury. Daly notified organizers late Friday night that he would not be back today after finishing the par-3 seventh hole. He was 5 over in his second round to that point after shooting a 76 in his opening round Thursday.

son (four passing TDs) had his way with the Tar Heels for the second straight year. Then, in the Meineke Bowl, the Tar Heels allowed Dion Lewis to run for 159 yards and couldn’t get a stop on Pittsburgh’s 17-play drive that lasted nearly nine minutes and set up the winning field goal in the final minute. Davis is quick to point out that, while North Carolina was the third nationally in third-down defense, it allowed an “atrocious” five yards per play on first down. He also said the Tar Heels had 17 potential turnovers on first down that got away when a defender dropped an interception or didn’t recover a loose fumble. The Tar Heels know they can do better and even talk openly about their goal of being the nation’s top defense. Now they have to turn potential into onfield results. “In any good defense, the ultimate goal is to be No. 1 in the country,” Carter said. “When we first got back (for training camp), Coach showed us a lot of missed opportunities we lost and we’ve just got to capitalize on them. We’re that close to being No. 1.”

Daly was in a group with Padraig Harrington and Davis Love III. The 44-year-old Daly won the 1991 PGA Championship, earning a lifetime exemption to the event. He’s been cut or withdrawn in 13 of the 17 appearances since his victory, never finishing higher than tied for 32nd. A five-time winner on the PGA Tour, his best performance this year was a tie for 24th at the Puerto Rico Open.

Troubles continue for 49ers

Pittsburgh opening with Lions

Associated Press

PITTSBURGH — Maybe he’ll take a few snaps, throw a pass or two. Maybe he won’t even get off the bench. Ben Roethlisberger returns to Heinz Field for the first time since embarrassing himself and the Pittsburgh Steelers with off-field behavior that resulted in a six-game suspension and condemnation from his fan base. It’s a night he once dreaded but, now that it’s here, Roethlisberger said he expects mostly cheers, not jeers and hostility. Roethlisberger is being greeted enthusiastically by spectators during training camp, but he might get a more accurate gauge of how Steelers fans feel about his offseason sexual assault allegations during today’s exhibition game against Detroit. “I want to play — I want to be out there with the guys,” Roethlisberger said. “I’d like to play the whole game. If coach says I’m not going to play, it’s his call.” Mike Tomlin isn’t making that call public yet. “We’re going to make you come to the stadium to check that out,” Tomlin said. Roethlisberger has said repeatedly that he is eager to move on and concentrate on football. He only hopes his fans are as willing, too. “They’ve been awesome,” Roethlisberger said. “I think and hope it will be awesome.” Roethlisberger or Byron Leftwich will be the QB when the starters play the eight to 12 snaps Tomlin plans to give them. The Steelers are preparing two starting quarterbacks in camp, Leftwich to start the season and Roethlisberger to finish it after he returns from a suspension that could be reduced to four games. “If he says I won’t be playing (Saturday), I’ll probably try to talk him out of it,” Roethlisberger said. “Coach might think it’s better to come back on the road where you’re going to get booed no matter what happens. But I want to get back to Heinz Field. That’s definitely home.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Running back Glen Coffee left the San Francisco 49ers on Friday morning, telling the team he no longer wants to play football. It was another sudden blow in a tumultuous week for the 49ers, who saw defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer leave the team Monday. Balmer, the team’s firstround draft pick in 2008 out of North Carolina, missed practice for the fifth straight day Friday. His absences have been unexcused since Wednesday. “We just respond to this and move forward,” coach Mike Singletary said. “We’re dealing with this in stride and continuing to have our best practice. The thing that we’re trying to do as the 49ers is that we’re trying to find 53 men that love the game of football.” Singletary, who said Coffee “was having a fine camp,” said Coffee’s abrupt decision caught the team by surprise. CHARGERS SAN DIEGO — Shawne Merriman signed his $3,269,000, oneyear tender with the Chargers, admitting his two-week holdout didn’t accomplish anything. The star outside linebacker won’t play in tonight’s exhibition opener against Chicago. RAVENS BALTIMORE — Ravens defensive tackle Terrence Cody showcased his stamina and run-stopping ability on full display during his unofficial NFL debut. In a preseason game against Carolina on Thursday night, the 6-foot-4, 350-pound rookie played into the third quarter and finished with four tackles and an assist in hot, humid weather. Cody’s first tackle of the preseason came when he collared DeAngelo Williams for a 1-yard loss with 5:19 left in the first quarter. “It felt good,” Cody said. “I wanted to celebrate, but my shoe came off and I had to come off the field.” His first mention on the playby-play sheet occurred during Baltimore’s opening drive. Lined up at fullback in the goal-line package, Cody flinched and was called for a false start on a third-and-3. “That was a new experience for me in the NFL,” he said. “When we do it again, hopefully I can do it a lot better.” PATRIOTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — New England defensive end Ty Warren is out for the season with a hip injury. Warren, a starter for the last six of his seven seasons since the Patriots drafted him in the first round, was placed on injured reserve. He missed most of the team’s practice sessions in training camp and sat out Thursday night’s exhibition opener. The Patriots also announced that linebacker Derrick Burgess had reported to camp after considering retirement. Coach Bill Belichick said Burgess passed his physical and conditioning test.

McNabb, Redskins manhandle Bills Associated Press

LANDOVER, Md. — Donovan McNabb threw a touchdown pass in his Washington Redskins debut, Albert Haynesworth looked suitably motivated in his debut as a $100 million backup and the new-look Buffalo Bills looked like the same old Buffalo Bills. McNabb went 5 for 8 for 58 yards in two series Friday and hit first-year player Anthony Armstrong for a 4-yard touchdown in the Redskins’ 42-17 win over the mistake-ridden Bills. It was a first-glimpse preseason game that shows Washington’s new coach Mike Shanahan is quite a bit further along than Buffalo’s new coach Chan Gailey. It’s been a little over four months since the Easter Sunday trade that brought McNabb to the Redskins, and it’s still strange to see No. 5 in some-

thing other than a Philadelphia Eagles uniform. “When you play your first game, obviously, with a new ballclub, it takes you back to the first game you played,” McNabb said. “Your adrenaline is high, and you have to settle down a little bit. The second time we went out, after our first drive, it led to us putting up some points. Then good things happen. There are a lot of things we have to work on, but I thought offensively we were able to progress.” Eagles 28, Jaguars 27 PHILADELPHIA — Eagles starter Kevin Kolb was impressive and backup Michael Vick displayed flashes of his old self before rookie Mike Kafka rallied the Eagles. Pro Bowl kicker David Akers made all five of his field goals, including a 36-yarder that gave the Eagles a onepoint lead in the fourth quarter.

Kolb was 6 of 11 for 95 yards. Vick was 11 of 17 for 119 yards and ran for 50. He made a couple spectacular plays but also lost a fumble and threw an interception. Jaguars backup Luke McCown threw for for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Falcons 20, Chiefs 10 ATLANTA — Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel lacked solid protection, but Ryan’s Falcons got better play from their rookie reserves. Dexter McCluster, a second-round pick, made a few dazzling moves as a tailback and a slot receiver for K.C. Dimitri Nance, an undrafted rookie free agent from Arizona State, ran for a 3-yard touchdown to give Atlanta a 10-3 lead. Shann Schillinger, a sixthround cornerback, set up the score by picking off Brodie Croyle’s throw and returning it 29 yards.

Carroll, Bradford set to make preseason debuts BY BARRY WILNER Associated Press

For those with little interest in NFL preseason football, understanding the excitement Pete Carroll and Sam Bradford are feeling is impossible. It should be understandable considering Carroll will coach his first pro game in a decade and Bradford will play in his first NFL game tonight.

We’ll watch the tape and get those things fixed.” Moore brought flashbacks to Delhomme’s turnover-plagued 2009 when he never saw safety Tom Zbikowski go unblocked on a blitz and fumbled after getting sacked from the blind side. The Panthers recovered but were forced to punt. Moore was 4 of 7 for 32 yards and had a passer rating of 68.8. In three first-quarter possessions with Moore, the Panthers produced three first downs and no points. They were once knocked out of field goal range when a long pass to Dwayne Jarrett was wiped out by left tackle Jordan Gross’ holding penalty. Gross, in his first game since breaking his leg late last season, was called for holding twice and had a false start penalty. Duke Robinson struggled with pass protection in the snaps he got at right guard, too. The anticipated debut by Clausen was largely a success. The former Notre Dame star took over in the second quarter against Baltimore’s second-string defense and appeared relaxed. He was in command of the offense despite often being flushed out of the pocket and sacked twice. “We had some bombs in protection but overall he did a pretty good job,” Fox said.

yards. He had a passer rating of just 41 but did rush twice for 11 yards and showed an accurate arm. “I was anxious to get out there for the first time, but I felt comfortable,” Clausen said. “It’s a different vibe, a different atmosphere, but it’s still football.” Cantwell got no breaks when heavy rain started to fall. Armanti Edwards dropped a couple of his passes, and the game became extremely sloppy. The second-year player who spent most of last season on the practice squad completed 6 of 17 passes for 68 yards. Rookie Tony Pike had a brief stint, throwing one incomplete pass. While the Panthers rushed for 142 yards, their lone TD came on C.J. Wilson’s 31-yard fumble return after Eric Moore stripped Jalen Parmele. The good news came with the defensive line, which had six sacks in the first game since Julius Peppers left in free agency. Tyler Brayton had two sacks before twisting an ankle, while rookie Greg Hardy had sacks on consecutive plays. The Panthers will have more offensive weapons when star receiver Steve Smith returns from a broken forearm and running back Jonathan Stewart gets back from a lingering heel injury. But they have shown little on offense in a team scrimmage and the exhibition opener as they adjust to numerous offseason changes. The next test for the QBs will be Aug. 21 against the New York Jets. “There are plays to be made and we know it,” Moore said. “That’s a good sign. I think we are moving in the right direction.”

Hudson stifles Dodgers Associated Press

ATLANTA — Tim Hudson extended his dominant stretch of starts with threehit ball for eight innings and Brooks Conrad homered in the seventh for Atlanta. Hudson (14-5) has won five straight starts, yielding only two runs in the impressive period. Billy Wagner, who picked up his seventh blown save opportunity against Houston on Wednesday, finished for his 29th save. Hudson struck out the side in the fifth and retired 13 consecutive Dodgers before giving up a single to Podsednik with two outs in the sixth. Cardinals 6, Cubs 3 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols homered for the sixth time in 11 games and Jake Westbrook got his first win in three tries since joining St. Louis at the trade deadline. Yadier Molina, whose objection to getting his shin guards tapped by Brandon Phillips’ bat sparked a fracas with the Reds on Tuesday, got a prolonged standing ovation before singling in the second inning. Molina added a pair of sacrifice flies. The Cardinals won their fourth in a row without manager Tony La Russa, who served the first of a twogame suspension for his role in the Reds scrum. Colby Rasmus walked four times, two more than his previous high. Reds 7, Marlins 2 CINCINNATI — Scott Rolen snapped out of a slump with three hits against an ineffective Josh Johnson, helping Edinson Volquez and the Reds get the victory. Jay Bruce homered for the first time since June 30 and drove in three runs for Cincinnati, which bounced back from an embarrassing three-game sweep by St. Louis. Joey Votto had two hits and two RBIs. Highly touted rookie Mike Stanton homered twice for Florida. Nationals 4, D’backs 2 WASHINGTON — John Lannan pitched seven strong innings, Ian Desmond had three hits and Washington snapped a fivegame losing streak. Astros 4, Pirates 1 HOUSTON — Carlos Lee hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning to power the Astros to the victory. Houston was down before Lee connected against All-Star reliever Evan Meek (4-4), belting a drive to the Crawford Boxes in left. Angel Sanchez hit a one-out single and Hunter Pence walked before Lee’s 15th homer. American League ARLINGTON, Texas — Nelson Cruz homered on the first pitch thrown by Tim Wakefield in the 11th inning and the Texas Rangers beat the Boston Red Sox 10-9 Friday night to cap their biggest comeback victory this season. Cruz hit the ball deep into the left-field seats on a knuckleball thrown by Wakefield (3-9), the seventh Boston reliever. Orioles 5, Rays 0 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeremy Guthrie scattered two hits over six innings, Adam Jones hit a two-run triple and Baltimore beat Tampa Bay. Twins 4, Athletics 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Carl Pavano pitched into the seventh inning for his 15th win, Danny Valencia had two hits and two RBIs and Minnesota held on to beat Oakland. Mariners 3, Indians 2 CLEVELAND — David Pauley earned his first career win, helping make Daren Brown’s road debut as Seattle’s interim manager a success. White Sox 8, Tigers 4 CHICAGO — Gordon Beckham hit a three-run homer and Mark Teahen, fresh off the disabled list, added a two-run shot, helping the White Sox beat the slumping Detroit Tigers.

Chipper plans to return BY CHARLES ODUM Associated Press

ATLANTA — Chipper Jones said Friday he will report to spring training next year with the Braves as he attempts a comeback from major knee surgery. Jones, speaking for the first time since the team announced he tore his left ACL and will miss the rest of the season, said he will have surgery on the knee Saturday. The 38-year-old Jones says now is not the right time to “make a decision to quit.” “I’m going to go through the process just like I’m getting ready for spring training,” he said. “I don’t know how the knee is going to respond. I’ll try to get ready for spring training, and we’ll see how it feels after that.” The expected recovery time is about six months, giving him a chance to be ready for spring training in 2011. Jones said earlier this season he would consider retirement after the season. He was hurt in Tuesday night’s game at Houston. Jones fielded Hunter Pence’s grounder near third base, jumped in the air while making the throw to first, then collapsed to the ground in foul territory. Pence was out on the play. “The play he got hurt on might have been the best play I’ve ever seen him make,” said Braves general manager Frank Wren, who sat beside Jones at Friday’s news conference. “I mean, that was a Brooks Robinson play.” Jones missed all of 1994, which was expected to be his rookie season, with the same injury to the same knee. “I know I lost a step the first time I had this surgery,” Jones said. “If I lose another step I’m going to be going backward.” Jones said he’ll be able to walk away from the game if he finds in spring training he cannot play at an

acceptable level. “Yeah, and I’ll know pretty quick,” he said. Jones said he is encouraged by medical advances since his 1994 surgery. He said today’s surgery will be an arthroscopic procedure. Jones returned from the 1994 injury to start on the Braves’ 1995 World Series title team. He become a six-time All-Star who won the NL MVP award in 1999 and the NL batting title in 2007. He has a .306 career batting average with 436 homers, third on the career list for switch-hitters behind Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504). No other switch-hitter has a .300 batting average and at least 300 career homers. “When I was growing up I wanted to be mentioned with two people, Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray,” he said. “I think it’s safe to say I have achieved that. There’s really nothing else I can do individually that I haven’t already done. The one thing I can do in my career is punctuate it with another championship. That’s what drives me.” Jones said his biggest regret is that he won’t be on the field as the first-place Braves try to hold off the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East. “This team is in first place and we’ve got a chance to do something really special and I feel deep down in my heart we’re going to do it, and the fact that I’m not going to be a part of it is what really hurts,” he said. The Braves recalled infielder Brandon Hicks from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill Jones’ roster spot. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez moved into Jones’ No. 3 spot in the batting order for Friday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Brooks Conrad started at third base. Omar Infante, filling in for the injured Martin Prado at second base, could share time with Conrad at third when Prado is healthy.

Knuckleballer baffles Phils BY BEN WALKER Associated Press

NEW YORK — From the very first knuckleball Mets 1 that R.A. Dickey Phillies 0 floated toward the plate, he could tell this would be trouble — for the Philadelphia Phillies, that is. Dickey threw a one-hitter, allowing only a solid, sixth-inning single to pitcher Cole Hamels, and the New York Mets shut out the Phillies once again at Citi Field, 1-0 Friday night. “I knew, from the way it felt out of my hand, I had a chance at a special night,” Dickey said. The Mets blanked the high-scoring Phillies for the fourth straight time at home. New York outscored their NL East rivals 16-0 during a three-game sweep in late May, a string started by Dickey. David Wright and Carlos Beltran hit consecutive doubles with two outs in the sixth for the lone run. Despite having Mike Hessman lose a home run on a video replay reversal, the Mets posted their first twogame winning streak since June 2223. “It’s been a long time coming,” Dickey said. The Mets and San Diego are the only teams in the majors that have never pitched a no-hitter, and Dickey’s bid ended with one out in the sixth. Hamels, a career .146 hitter coming into the game, lined a clean single that strong-armed right fielder Jeff Francoeur handled at medium depth, and he looked at first base before deciding not to try a heave. Dickey wound up tossing the 35th one-hitter for a franchise that began play in 1962. Spoiled by a pitcher’s hit, of all things. “I could pretend it didn’t happen and call it a no-hitter,” Dickey kidded, “or get real mad at Frenchie because he didn’t throw him out at first.” This marked the fourth time in the majors since 1990 that there was a one-hitter in which a pitcher got the only hit. Atlanta’s Tim Hudson

was the last pitcher to throw that kind, broken up by Jason Jennings’ hit for Colorado on May 1, 2006. Hit hard by the Phillies in his last start, Dickey (8-5) baffled them all evening, striking out seven and walking one in his second career shutout — his other came in 2003 with Texas. The 35-year-old righty threw 105 pitches, all but three of them knucklers. This was the Mets’ major leagueleading 18th shutout this year, with Johan Santana throwing one in New York’s previous game. The Phillies came to town after totaling 21 runs in a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. “It’s just a matter of time,” Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. “When we score, it’s going to come in bunches.” “When you talk about one hit, you’ve got to give the guy credit. It wasn’t like we were hitting rockets,” he said. Hamels (7-9) has not won in six starts despite pitching well. He gave up five hits in seven innings and struck out eight, and again was the victim of poor run support. The Mets swiftly struck with two outs in the sixth. Wright broke an 0for-15 slump with a liner that sailed over center fielder Shane Victorino for a double and Beltran followed with a double beyond the leap of left fielder Raul Ibanez. Wright casually strolled home, not that he needed to sprint to score. Hessman, whose 329 career minor league home runs are the most among active players, looked as if he might have his 15th lifetime major league homer after launching a drive to left in the fifth. As he circled the bases, Ibanez complained that a fan reached over a railing above the wall and interfered. Three umpires went to watch a replay while Hamels threw some warmups. The trio of umps returned and huddled again on the field before pointing Hessman to third base with his first big league triple. In all, Hamels went more than 10 minutes between pitches.

Broxton loses closer’s role ATLANTA (AP) — Dodgers manager Joe Torre demoted Jonathan Broxton from the closer’s role on Friday and said the All-Star will have to win back the job. Torre said Hong-Chih Kuo “would be our closer at this time.” Kuo was not available for Friday night’s game against the Atlanta Braves after pitching in back-toback games, though. Torre said Octavio Dotel and rookie Kenley Jensen also could be asked to close out games. The move by Torre came after Broxton did not record an out while

giving up four runs, including three earned, as the Dodgers blew a late 9-2 lead in a 10-9 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night. “He just needs to have a couple of good innings,” Torre said. “He was the All-Star closer, for crying out loud.” Broxton has 21 saves and five blown saves. He is 4-4 with a 3.50 ERA overall, but is only 1-4 with a 10.13 ERA and three blown saves in eight chances since the All-Star break. He has walked 11 batters with only five strikeouts over that time period.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS Americans spent less at most retail stores in July and inflation remained tame as high unemployment and weak job growth fueled fears of a slowing economic recovery. A busy month for car dealerships and higher gas prices lifted overall retail sales 0.4 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Friday. It was the first overall gain in three months. Still, most retailers reported declines. Sales were down 1 percent at department stores and also dropped at specialty clothing stores, furniture stores, hardware stores and appliance stores. The stock market has fallen for the fourth straight day after a mixed batch of readings on consumer spending The major indexes fluctuated all day in light trading. The latest reports fell in line with a long string of conflicting data that has left investors unsure about where the economy is headed. The Dow Jones industrial average has lost almost 400 points in four days. General Motors Co. is likely to file paperwork next week that describes its plan to sell shares to the public. The Detroit

automaker had planned to file the papers Friday but delayed the move after announcing Thursday that CEO Edward Whitacre would step down as CEO Sept. 1 and be replaced by board member Daniel Akerson. It also just reported a $1.3 billion second-quarter profit, its second-straight positive quarter. J.C. Penney Co. cut its profit outlook for the rest of the year, a sign of jitters that Americans, still stinging from the recession and worried about jobs, aren’t going to spend more any time soon. The reduced outlook came as Penney reported a second-quarter profit as it benefited from tight inventory controls and exclusive store-label brands. Shares fell almost 2 percent, or 40 cents, to $20.40 per share. Asset manager Blackstone Group said it is paying $542.7 million to take Dynegy Inc. private in a three-way deal that will see Dynegy also sell four power plants to NRG Energy Inc. New York-based Blackstone is taking on more than $4 billion in Dynegy debt as well, bringing the deal’s total value to $4.7 billion.

Assistant coach Barry Mitchem, center, works with some players.

Ben Hampton, a former West Rowan standout, is one of five coaches on Carson’s staff.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B Warren had fumbled in the first quarter but also helped the Cougars to a 15-6 lead going into the fourth quarter. The Cougars drove to the Cardinal Gibbons 28, but Warren fumbled and the Crusaders later scored. He fumbled the kickoff and the Crusaders scored the go-ahead points. “Take away the turnovers and it very well could have been 30-something to 7,” Woody said. Warren finished a spectacular junior season with 1,977 yards rushing. But all he could think about in the offseason were the fumbles. “I still think about it,” Warren said. Woody wishes he wouldn’t. “You’re talking about a kid who didn’t have but one or two fumbles all year,” Woody said. “He was one of the main reasons we were there. And he was playing on a bum ankle that was 75 percent.” To the credit of Warren and the rest of the seniors, they aren’t sulking now that football season has begun. They have talented players returning for another shot at the state playoffs. “It’s a new year,” Warren said, perking up. “Hopefully, we’ll make the playoffs and I’ll see them again.” With different results. And then, Warren might be the one asking to watch the film again. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-7974287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

FEELING SO FINE

Volunteer Celia Wayland lends a helping hand to a camper to start his memory book.

Fourth annual Barnabas Connection Arts Camp touches lives I’m loving the life I live With no complaining Good things come in due time Making the best of it

BY LIZ TENNENT For the Salisbury Post

Open my eyes to see a new morning Looking forward to the sunshine Thanking the Lord above for a new day I’m feeling so fine … You might not recognize the song unless you know Jimmy and Leslie Alston, who wrote the music and lyrics, and have produced several CDs. But if you ask any of the 15 teenagers and 14 volunteers who were part of the fourth annual Barnabas Connection Arts Camp, don’t be surprised if they have you singing, dancing and performing “So Fine.” The song, much like the week-long camp, has a wonderful way of encouraging you to join in, loosen up, be yourself and try something new. You just never know what fine things might happen. St. John’s Lutheran Church and Rowan County Youth Services Bureau (YSB), a United Way agency, teamed up again for this year’s camp held July 1923 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Most of the youth participate in YSB’s Times 2 Mentoring Program, which offers both one-on-one and group mentoring on a weekly basis during the year. I’ve got places to go People to see New things to do But that’s alright with me In addition to music and dance led by the Alstons, the camp also featured several art projects led by Lynn Haynes, a local artist and teacher at Corriher-Lipe middle school. Pastor Rhodes led daily devotional lessons and activities. The church provided snacks and lunch each day. On Friday, more than 60 family members and friends attended a luncheon and presentation for the group. Karen South Carpenter, YSB executive director, was at the celebration. “As I observed the closing ceremony on Friday, I was struck by the enormity of the volunteers' commitment to the children. I flashed forward 10-15 years and could imagine those children as

Knowing it could be word I’m feeling so fine, I’m feeling so fine, I’m feeling so fine.

“All good things must come to an end ... or so they say,” shared Pastor Rhodes on the daily Barnabas Connection blog (http://barnabas2010.blogspot.com). “What will NOT end is the powerful presence of God in these campers' lives. They’ve certainly experienced it in the friendships established, the community formed, in song, prayer, art ... even dance! Our prayers are that each person present this week will cling to the powerful love of God in their lives. That makes all the difference in the world.”

Youth Services Bureau volunteer and Catawba College student Daniel Griffith links arms with a Barnabas Connection camper to show the importance of support and encouragement. adults, giving back to their communities in the same way. You’ve touched lives and hearts and souls.

Campers highlighted all areas, from meeting new people, creating pages in the memory book, painting and making a treasure box, singing and dancing, art and food. There’s some data too. from the surveys done before and after camp. Though it may not meet scientific research standards, it surely indicates some fine results.

When responding to “I like being around adults,” youth shifted from 25 percent strongly agreeing to 54 percent.

Proverbs 3: Further Benefits of Wisdom

1 My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, 2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.

3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. 9 Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline and do not resent his rebuke, 12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. 13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, 14 for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. 16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. 19 By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; 20 by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. 21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; 22 they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. 23 Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; 24 when you lie down, you will not be afraid; 25 Have no fear of sudden disaster

when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked,

26 for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. 27 Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow” — when you now have it with you. 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. 30 Do not accuse a man for no reason — when he has done you no harm. 31 Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways, 32 for the LORD detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence. 33 The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. 34 He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. 35 The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.

danger national coexistence. The program does not show respect to “Jesus, the church and Christianity,� Catholic Maronite Archbishop Bechara el-Rai told reporters Friday. Shortly before el-Rai’s news conference, Al-Manar and NBN issued a statement saying the program “shows the great personality of God’s prophet Jesus, the son of Mary, peace be upon him.� But, the statement said, the stations decided to stop airing the program in respect to other Lebanese sects. Information Minister Tarek Mitri said that even though he is against censorship, he agreed with the cancellation because of Lebanon’s religious diversity. “There is a special case in Lebanon which is considered a country of dialogue and a country where Christians and Muslims meet,� Mitri said. After Lebanon gained independence from French rule in 1943, Christians dominated the country. Muslim

BEIRUT (AP) — Two Shiite Muslim television stations in Lebanon canceled a controversial program about Jesus on Friday, saying they do not want to stir up sectarian conflict in the country. The 17-episode program, which was produced in Iran, describes Jesus from an Islamic point of view. Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet and a teacher, but not the son of God. The debate has particular resonance in Lebanon, an Arab nation of 4 million people with a grim history of sectarian strife. The country’s population is divided into 18 sects, including Sunni and Shiite Muslims, Christians and Druse. Al-Manar, a television station run by Lebanon’s powerful militant group, Hezbollah, and the National Broadcasting Network, NBN, started airing the program this week at the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Christian priests and politicians quickly protested, saying the topic might en-

Gift of flowers becomes a blooming disaster

Dear Amy: I am a 35-yearold divorced woman with two small children. My turbulent marriage ended 3-1/2 years ago, and I have been living with another man for three years. He is pretty much my children’s de facto dad. He is 28 and feels as if he still has time before getting married and having kid(s). I feel that I can get married anytime, but I really want another child now. He won’t have kids unless we’re married. I try not to pressure him. He is in school and works part time, but he will finish school in eight months. Money is not an issue; I do well.

I think he’s waiting to propose when he has a job. If that happens and then we try for a child, I’ll be 37 or 38. He is from a conservative religion, and his family lives in another country. They do not know about me. I feel as if he is hiding me from his family because I’m not the cookie-cutter bride. Do you have advice? — Perplexed Partner Dear Partner: You think this is about convincing your partner to agree to your having another child. But I think this is about some of the choices you’ve already made. You are living with someone who has shelved his selfprofessed values enough to cohabit. He’s also lying about your relationship — by omission. Do you accept that? Do you think that’s a healthy state for your (now) long relationship? Do you think that living with a “de facto dad” under these circumstances is good for your children? Please don’t answer, “yes” to the above. He is not ready for marriage and more children. If he were, you’d be there by now. You two need to come clean and be authentic — in whatever marital state you mutually choose — before you bring another child into the mix.

Dear Amy: “Curious” wondered about college students referring to themselves as “kids,” and you suggested asking them, “Do you really see yourselves as children?” Of course I do — or at least, I don’t see myself as an adult. I am a senior in college. I take responsibility for myself, but as someone without my own health insurance or home, who is beholden to the same adult authority of teachers that, ultimately, I have been beholden to since kindergarten, I am not comfortable calling myself an “adult.” As you mentioned, I’m a “kid” because it’s the least pretentious/most honest thing I can call myself. — Still a Kid

to a pan that's hot creates an instant seal around the food to keep all the moisture (and flavor) inside. In a warm pan, your food will lose its moisture, and you'll find your chicken breast or mushrooms stewing in their own juices. This is not good. A hot pan should give you a sizzle when you add food to it. If you don't hear the sizzle, don't be afraid to pull the food out while you wait for the temperature to rise. • Over-tending the food. Once you add the food to the pan, put the utensils down and step away. This doesn't mean you should leave the room. You still need to watch the food, but constant flipping, turning, stirring or other motions prevent the food from cooking properly unless the recipe specifically calls for constant stirring. By overtending, you're actually extending the cooking time, and you run the risk of altering the food's texture and color by moving it around too much. • Not tasting. Tasting as you go is the most important part of cooking. If you season and taste as you go, your food will taste better. Always do a final taste just before serving to ensure that your seasonings are still right on. • Not using common sense.

Cooking is not an exact science. Unless you're baking, which is an exact science, you have to find a balance between your recipe and reality. Oven strengths vary or your electric cooktop may not heat your saute pan as quickly or evenly as the gas range used by the recipe writer. Check your food periodically. If it is browning faster than the recipe indicates it should, turn it. Then lower the heat. Recipe writers cannot anticipate every situation. They rely on good cooks to use their common sense to interpret and implement recipes. Cooking is an art that requires practice, common sense and skill. The more you cook at home the better you'll get and the more money you'll save.

Dear Kathryn: Opened cream cheese has a short shelf life. You might find that reduced-fat cream cheese has an even shorter shelf life due to the higher moisture content. Look for the smaller 2to 3-ounce packages if you can’t consume the larger package before it molds. Make sure it’s stored at 40 F. Try to keep the foil wrapper to cover the unused portion. Tightly wrap it with plastic wrap, and place it back into its paper carton or in a plastic storage baggie with the air squeezed out. Sometimes cream cheese gets contaminated before it reaches an airtight container (for example, if it’s left out at room temperature too long before being refrigerated). It’s possible when you wrap it in plastic and place it into the second container, added moisture gets in, so it molds quickly. You can freeze your cream cheese, but

Dear Myria: They can make nice stocking stuffers or giftbasket add-ins. You can also use them for shaving, cleaning your tub or sink, as a cuticle softener or for makeup removal. Add water and conditioner to a spray bottle and use as a SARA detangler or NOEL as a fabric softener. (Dampen a wash cloth with hair conditioner and water and toss into the dryer.) You can also donate them to homeless shelters and battered-women’s shelters. Dear Sara: How do you keep cream cheese from molding? When I use half an 8-ounce package, I wrap the other half

Cheapskate: 5 chef secrets you need to know The best way to become a great home cook is to learn proper techniques and then to practice. Learning some of the best secrets from professional chefs can't hurt! Here, for your cooking pleasure, are secrets from the pros that will help you avoid making these five mistakes. • Not reading the recipe. Home cooks invariably make the mistake of reading the recipe as they go, not all the way through before they MARY start. A quick HUNT read before you get caught up in the cooking will make it less likely that you'll add ingredients in the wrong order, leave something out or do anything else that may compromise your dish. Think of your recipe as an instruction manual for your meal, and your first instruction is to read the instructions. • Starting in a cold pan. Unless your recipe gives you specific instruction to do otherwise, always give your pan time to heat up before adding any food. Heat encourages food to release whatever moisture it has. Adding food

Dear Mom: You might have some luck breaking these bouquets apart and reconfiguring them into something less hideous. You could also contact the company that originates the flowers and plead with them to put together something more tasteful. In my family, we could handle this as a gag — but it’s tricky. It would involve photographing the floral display at its most awful, posing it in all sorts of humiliating sur-

roundings and writing a note reading, “Every three months, I receive flowers and think of how much you love me.” If you could pull this off, your son might notice that these floral arrangements don’t match the catalog photo. He would also note that if this hideousness is a reflection of his affection for you, he’s in trouble. You could be straightforward and say to him, “I worry that the flowers being delivered to me might not be what you expected. I’m sure you spent a lot of money to do this, but some of the bouquets haven’t been so wonderful, and I feel bad because I don’t think that’s what you had in mind.”

Dear Amy: This past Christmas, my son and his family gave me the gift of four floral bouquets to be delivered to me every three months throughout the year. The problem is that, while none of the bouquets has been especially pretty, the bouquet delivered today is hideously ugly. It’s too ASK ugly to even AMY put into a vase and display. How can I tactfully tell my son that while I appreciate his thoughtfulness, the flowers have not been very nice? I hope he doesn’t spend his money for that again. I’m sure these flowers were quite expensive. — Loving Mom

Chemist offers possible cause of chronic infection Dear Dr. Gott: I’ve been a chemist and forensic scientist for more than 50 years, and in your column you address a woman’s questions regarding chronic vaginal inflammation and repeated yeast infections. Years ago, I had a legal case involving a woman who used Premarin cream packaged in metalwalled “toothpaste”-type tubes. Her DR. PETER complaints and symptoms GOTT were much the same as your reader’s. In working as her expert witness on that case, I opened up and examined the offending Premarin tubes she had used. What I found was a badly designed delivery system that could not fail to cause horrific injury to anyone that used the product down to its completely collapsed, scrolled-up endpoint. Such tubes are made of soft metal-like zinc but with an internal layer of polymer plastic coating the interior surface to prevent metal contamination or any reactive ingredients from chemically reacting with the metal walls. The defect comes when the user squeezes and deforms the tube walls to such an extent that the internal plastic layer fractures into small chips and delaminates from its attachment to the wall. What results are a myriad of small and almost microscopic flakes of the lining plastic, with sharp points and razor-sharp edges like broken

glass mixing into the cream product as it is delivered. Such a production of tissue-cutting particles will cause visible to microscopic lacerations in the delicate barrier tissues it comes into contact with and thus allow infections to occur or reoccur. This should be the first thing a woman needing such a product should look at and demand an alternative to. Plastic-walled cream-delivery tubes or pre-filled syringe packaging would eliminate this kind of injury. Inform and warn your readers, please. Perhaps others have experienced the same, and an informed buying public has a great deal of economic clout when it comes to forcing improvements in product designs. As an aside, the case was ultimately settled quietly after I demonstrated to both sides that this was the defect in the product leading to her injuries. I am not sure whether the makers of such products have changed from that design of packaging and delivery or not. But in my considerable experience with product-defect cases, including medical device-based cases, it is a rarity that the manufacturer has voluntarily eliminated such a defect. It’s usually an economic decision for them, and the cost of a few legal cases a year is just cranked into a slightly higher product price in the following years. The actual costs of their errors is in reality much greater when you factor in those who have sustained injury or worse but have not filed

for or prevailed in legal actions. Dear reader: I have chosen to print your letter almost in its entirety because it is a wellwritten, informative piece. I thank you for bringing an alternate cause to the table, one I had never even thought to consider. I, like you, am unaware of what type of packaging Premarin and similar estrogen creams come in; therefore, I am hoping that this letter is either late (in the case of newer, safer packaging) or will bring greater attention to this issue. If packaging has not been improved, there may be many women suffering the effects who either don’t know the cause or are too embarrassed to bring up the issue with their general physicians or gynecologists. Vaginal infections are often minor and disappear with treatment, but if left untreated can result in considerable symptoms and problems. I urge any woman who has symptoms of a vaginal infection to speak with her gynecologist so that she may receive appropriate treatment early before the infection can take hold and cause even greater discomfort, embarrassment and, perhaps, even damage. As I have said many times in the past, there is no reason to be embarrassed by symptoms for any condition. Doctors have been there and done that. Any physician worth his salt will do his best to get to the bottom of the problem and offer help, support and treatment. United FeatUre Syndicate

Saturday, Aug. 14 Something to which you’ve devoted considerable time and effort is likely to begin to yield some rewards in the year ahead. It’ll be just the beginning of what’s to come as long as you continue to stay on top of it. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The best way to make certain a joint endeavor will be successful is to make sure the workload is equally distributed. Once done, each contributor must focus solely on doing his/her part. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Your mental faculties are extra sharp right now, so you shouldn’t have any trouble handling whatever assignments are thrown at you. Concentrate on using your logic and keen imagination. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Pals know you understand how to gather the right people together to have a good time. Whether you want to or not, you’ve been chosen to arrange the social activities. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even if you have to put aside your social plans for the moment, finalize the serious matter that’s hanging fire so that it doesn’t become critical and cause all kinds of problems. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Make an effort to get in touch with the friend who has been on your mind lately. Something could be up with the person of your thoughts, and they could use some help. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Pay heed to your instincts, especially if you are engaged in something important, such as negotiating a delicate matter. Primal insight can give you a definite edge. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A personal interest can be advanced, but only if you are able to operate independently, free from all outside interference. You need plenty of time and space in order to do your own thing. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Something in which you’re interested has a greater array of ancillary benefits than you ever thought possible. You might begin to see things in a new light that’ll help you see them. Aries (March 21-April 19) — The impression you make encourages others to look at you in a new light and appreciate some of your wonderful qualities that previously went unnoticed. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You’ll get a lot further if you find a way to pursue your objectives as unobtrusively as possible. When you screen your work and intentions from others, you’re free to be more effective. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — The probabilities for success would be enhanced if you test your ideas out as rapidly as you conceive them. The fact is, sitting on them is likely to dilute your belief and interests in them. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Logic, not forcefulness, is what can make your achievements come easier for you. When trying to make something happen, use your head, not your muscles or your mouth. United FeatUre Syndicate

A simple play perhaps overlooked B Y P HILLIP A LDER United Feature Syndicate

Some of this week’s deals have been too hard for an inexperienced player. If this deal defeated someone, though, afterward he would be kicking himself for having gone down — assuming the defense did not hand it back to him on a platter. You are in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. What is your plan? The auction was straightforward. North did not need to worry about clubs, because you had to have length in that suit when you did not show a four-card major or raise diamonds. The original declarer saw nine winners: two spades, two hearts and five diamonds. He took the first trick with his heart jack, played a diamond to dummy’s ace, and cashed the diamond king. East’s spade discard was a blow. Now South called for a low club, but the defense was perfect. When East won with his ace and returned his heart two, West carefully forced declarer to take the trick with dummy’s queen. South could only cash dummy’s top spades, but the queen did not drop. After South had congratulated his opponents, North pointed out that declarer would have had no trouble if he had played dummy’s heart queen at trick one. Here, after winning the trick, South would have cashed two top diamonds to get the bad news, but then he could have led a heart to

force a hand entry for the marked finesse of dummy’s diamond 10. And if East could have taken the heart queen with his ace and returned a heart, declarer would still have had a heart winner in his hand.

Publicist says Gabor returns to hospital LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor’s publicist says actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has returned to a hospital because of complications in her recuperation from hip-replacement surgery. Publicist John Blanchette says an ambulance was summoned to Gabor’s home to take her to an emergency room Friday. Blanchette, who was in touch with Gabor’s husband, Frederic von Anhalt, by telephone, says Gabor was in great pain and was bleeding from the hip. The 93-year-old Gabor broke her hip in a fall at home on July 17. She underwent hipreplacement surgery at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center and was discharged on Wednesday. Gabor has had to use a wheelchair since a 2002 car accident and a 2005 stroke.

Top Kitchen Design Trends (ARA) - Incorporating current trends into your kitchen design not only helps you create a stylish and updated room, but also increases functionality. From the latest colors to the newest materials, good design can ensure you enjoy your new kitchen. A recent national survey of kitchen designers conducted by the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA) and luxury appliance manufacturer Thermador identifies several trends influencing today’s kitchen design — from popular colors and finishes, to new materials, and even new technologies being incorporated by designers.

Functionality and Layout Today’s households often function with more than one cook, so kitchen designs frequently incorporate multiple cooking stations such as a range and a wall oven, or a range and a cooktop. Appliances are also occupying islands to add cooking space. Additionally, prep sinks are showing up on islands or other locations in the kitchen for increased functionality. “Kitchens are more commonly becoming a household’s hub,” says Ed Pell, manager of marketing research at the NKBA. “With multiple cooks working in the kitchen, and more entertaining and family activities conducted there, designers want to fulfill their client’s desire for increased functionality with efficient work areas.”

Style and Color More than half (56.8 percent) of the kitchen designers surveyed said “traditional” was their most often requested type of kitchen design. However, designers identified contemporary and clean, simple lines as kitchen design trends to watch for. For cabinetry, the top two most used finishes in kitchens are cherry and maple, while paints and exotic woods tied for third. This is a departure from the once-dominant oak cabinetry. Moreover, designers identify stainless steel as the top color scheme in today’s kitchen designs, followed by beige and bone colors.

Appliances Stainless steel continues to lead the way as the most popular finish for appliances. However, appliances with custom paneling to match cabinetry are more commonly incorporated into today’s kitchen designs. The appliances that most often receive paneling are dishwashers and refrigerators. Designers identified modular refrigera-

tion, along with induction cooktops and speed-cooking ovens as one of the most exciting kitchen technologies. “Modular refrigeration like the Thermador Freedom Collection is gaining popularity because it provides designers and their clients greater flexibility,” says Michael Traub, president and CEO of Thermador. “With Freedom, they are liberated from having to design the entire kitchen around traditional and bulky refrigerator/freezer combinations while being able to achieve truly flush integration

with cabinets.”

Countertops and Backsplashes The countertop material used most frequently is granite, and with unlimited stone colors and designs, it’s highly customizable. However, another stone material — quartzite, noted for its durability — comes in a strong second. Additionally, the top three backsplash materials are tile, followed by granite and glass.

When it comes to appliances, designers indicate that homeowners believe high-end options are a good home investment. In fact, designers say premium appliances are the top “dream” item amongst their clients — winning over custom cabinetry and special countertops.

Upcoming trends When designers were asked to name new trends to take note of, many identified new color applications. Specifically, greater use of color in cabinets was cited as an up and coming trend, as was the use of two colored cabinetry and molding, and the overall bolder use of color.
