Refunds from N.C. delayed

WALK ACROSS ROWAN

The journey begins

Report: New policy may mean those who overpay have to wait

jon C. Lakey/sAlisBUrY Post

William Givens stands near his home on U.s. 29 north of spencer talking about the days of his youth.

Neither rain nor heat will stop this trek PENCER — We had just reached the part of Spencer where sidewalks begin, not far from the Chicken and Oyster Shack. William Givens spotted us from the other side of North Salisbury Avenue and walked over. Post photographer Jon Lakey and I were soaked and, looking west, we saw more rain headed our way. But we were hot and steamy and thankful we could stop and speak with Givens. The rain had stifled his plans for going to High Rock Lake and hanging out on Goat Island. The day had pretty much been devoted to church and MARK taking the family out to WINEKA eat so far. He learned we had started our walking trip at the Yadkin River, near the now demolished N.C. Finishing Co. plant. He sure would like to see that place become a racetrack, as proposed in the past, Givens said. It would mean a lot of revenue for the community and, above everything, jobs. Givens had once been part of the demolition crews tearing the old textile plant apart and hoped it would give him a good line on a job building the racetrack to replace it. But things have yet to pan out, and Givens is now unemployed. “Our work just got slack, man,” he said. Givens inherited his grandmother’s house after spending much of his childhood in Spencer. The house? “It’s not the prettiest thing, but it keeps me dry,” he said.

Post columnist Mark Wineka walks across the Wil-Cox Bridge — before the rain. The town? “I’ve run these streets all my life,” he said. He told us a few good stories and also noted that a tornado passing through Spencer some months back had ripped some shingles and metal off his house. But again, it keeps him dry — more than could be said for Jon and I Sunday on the first day of our walk through the heart of Rowan County. • • • After attending the morning service

at Yadkin United Methodist Church, Jon and I started our five-day trek at the Yadkin River. We walked several hundred yards north past the rubble that is now the former N.C. Finishing Co. site and stopped in the middle of the Wil-Cox Bridge, which spans the Yadkin River and connects Rowan to Davidson County. The bridge is closed to vehicle traffic these days and, I think, actually belongs to Davidson County. For us, it was a great pedestrian bridge from which we could see the north-south railroad bridge, the busy Interstate 85 bridge traffic and, behind that, the seven smokestacks of Buck Steam Station. Two jet skis roared through on the river under us. Highway historic markers reminded us we were relatively close to Trading Ford and following a trading path used long ago by Indians and the first settlers of this region. By following U.S. 29 south toward Spencer Sunday, we also were on the Blue Star Memorial Highway, which honors the country’s armed forces. It wasn’t a good sign, standing on the bridge at 12:55 p.m, when we felt the first drops of rain. • • • The rain seemed to be going sideways by the time we reached the Sideways Tavern. Drenched already, despite the plastic ponchos and trash bags we tried to employ, we placed ourselves under a skinny eave of the tavern building. We ate our peanut butter sandwiches there, and regretted that we hadn’t made a dash for the dryness of an open garage across the street.

Church a good place to start BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

s photographer Jon Lakey and I settled into our pews at Yadkin United Methodist Church Sunday morning, we could hear a shuffle of feet in the balcony behind us. Little feet. “Let me do it,” a child’s voice said. And soon, with a tug on the heavy rope, the church bell was ringing, signaling the arrival of the 11 a.m. service. As people had walked into the sanctuary, it was informal, with many hugs and conversations. The members follow Southern fashion and greet each other with names such as “Miss Shirley” or “Miss Katherine” or “Mr. John.” When they have visitors such as Jon and I, they also tend to apologize for how

small they are, but their very next sentences are always filled with hope and pride. “We love it,” Imogene Coates said, “It’s getting very sparse, but we hope to get it back up.” Shirley Young handed us our bulletins on the way in. “It’s little,” she said. “There’s only a few of us, but we love it here.” And it’s easy to understand why. This church on a hill has a beautiful simplicity to it, perfect for worship. There are six rows of pews on the left and seven on the right, with three stained-glass windows on each side. The front choir seats are empty — there just aren’t enough members any longer. Up front, Martha Jones plays the pi-

RALEIGH (AP) — A change in policy could mean that thousands of North Carolinians who overpay their taxes won’t get refunds. The change comes in how the state’s Revenue Department decides an overpayment has been discovered. In previous years, a computer system would flag returns on which filers had mistakenly paid too much. After the return was checked by a department employee, the refund was made. The computer typically flags returns quickly after they are filed. Now, according to The News & Observer, the department says overpayments are not “discovered” until an employee looks at the flagged return. If that review happens after the three-year window for obtaining reNANCY POMERANZ funds, the taxpayPersonal tax er could be out of division director luck. The newspaper based its report on the tax agency’s e-mail correspondence that was released after an appeal to the state attorney general’s office. The agency would not comment on the issue beyond the release of e-mails. “It is the governor’s strong feeling that if we as a state have the opportunity to process these accounts in accordance with the law and pay people back the money that they are owed, that we should be doing it if we can,” said Chrissy Pearson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Beverly Perdue. “Unfortunately, the ‘if we can’ is the big question here.”

“No refund is ‘discovered’ until someone actually looks at it or handles it.”

Not enough staff Pearson said she was told the Revenue Department thinks it would take $1 million to hire new staff to get through the backlog of 230,000 tax returns, some dating as far back as 1994, awaiting a review. Some of those returns simply have conflicting information about a taxpayer, like two different addresses, and some involve people who underpaid. Pearson said she was told that a minority of the returns involve overpayment. Until 2007, state law required the Revenue Department to return overpayments “as soon as possible together with any applicable interest.” A new law dealing with tax disputes changed that requirement to overpayments found on returns that are less than three years old. E-mails obtained by the newspaper showed that personal taxes division director Nancy Pomeranz questioned the change in policy after her staff was told not to review returns after the three-year statutory requirement had expired. “My folks were told not to process any refunds in any situation where the statute has run now because no refund is ‘discovered’ until someone actually looks at it or handles it,” Pomeranz wrote in an Oct. 12 e-mail message to assistant secretary for tax compliance John Sadoff. “I do not agree and, as I mentioned in my earlier e-mail, this is contrary to our longstanding position.” She asked again in December if her staff could process those returns that she felt would result in a taxpayer refund.

Lawmaker: Fix this

Alan Woodard, the department’s examinations director, replied to the second e-mail by repeating the new policy: “The Agency has determined that a refund is discovered when a (Department of Revenue) employee takes a specific action to identify, review, and approve an overpayment of tax.” State Sen. Dan Clodfelter, D-Charlotte, said the law change was not meant to give the Revenue Department a means to capture overpaid taxes. “If there’s a glitch in the statutory language, I know how to fix it, and we will fix it,” Clodfelter said. “And we will do it retroactively. We’re not going to let this kind of thing catch people.”

Susan Goodman Sides provided this postcard photograph of Carrie Nation preaching for Prohibition to a Salisbury crowd on the Square, July 4, 1907. Nation spoke later that day at Fulton Heights Park and in Spencer. Nation, who was described in the young Salisbury Post of the day as ‘Demon Rum’s most formidable foe,’ came to Salisbury because the city had become a rally location for the state’s wet forces. Bookstore owner Theodore Buerbaum took this picture and sold it as one of many postcards at his store. The large building to the left of Carrie Nation is the Mansion House, which was destroyed by fire later in the year. It was replaced at the corner of West Innes and North Main streets by the seven-story Grubb Building, which was later renamed the Wallace Building and today is known as The Plaza.

Help young athletes avoid overdoing it Q: How do you prevent overtraining and burnout in a young athlete? A: When you have young athletes in your family or team, it is very important to balance out their life between the sport they participate in, their social life, the young athlete’s emotional well-being, school work, growing up and so much more. The most common factor for overtraining in a young athlete is overuse. More children become involved in orESTER ganized and recreationMARSH al athletics. They participate in sports yearround and sometimes multiple sports at the same time. The parent hopes that the child will get a scholarship and/or become a professional athlete. Sometimes parents are trying to fulfill an unfulfilled childhood dream of their own. The pressure to compete and succeed, to participate in year-round training on multiple teams and to be a multi-sport athlete can lead to overuse injuries. Overuse injuries are small, traumatic damages to the bone, muscle or tendons. One of the causes is repetitive stress without enough time to heal. Overuse injuries can be classified into four stages: • Pain in affected area after physical activity. • Pain during the physical activity, without restricting performance. • Pain during the physical activity that restricts performance. • Pain even at rest.

Bones still growing While obesity and inactivity have skyrocketed in the United States, the number of children and adolescent athletes who participate in organized and recreational athletics also has

Encourage your athlete to have at least one to two days off per week from competitive athletics, sport-specific training and competitive practice. grown a lot in the past 20 years. Cases of overuse injuries have paralleled the increase of athletes participating in organized competitive sports. Up to 50 percent of all injuries seen in pediatric sports medicine are related to overuse. Compared to an adult, the risk of overuse in a young athlete is a lot more serious due to the fact their bones are still growing. Young athletes’ bones cannot handle as much stress as the mature bones of an adult. Unique to young athletes, the growth plates located at the ends of the long bones do not ossify until the athlete is finished growing. Any injury to these growth plates can have serious implications to the young athlete.

Guidelines The following guidelines are recommended by the Academy of Pediatrics • Encourage your athletes to have at least one to two days off per week from competitive athletics, sport-specific training and competitive practice (such as scrimmages) to allow them to recover both physically and psychological. • Advise your athlete that the weekly training time, number of reps or total distance should not increase by more than 10 percent each week. • Encourage your athlete to take at least two to three months away from a specific sport during the year. • Emphasize that the focus should be on fun, skill acquisition, safety and sportsmanship.

I highly recommend talking to your child’s pediatrician. Dr. Wayne Koontz at Salisbury Pediatrics, my son’s doctor, has been very helpful in guiding us. He continues to give us the feedback we need for a child who is a top performer, to keep him healthy and prevent him from burning out and/or overtraining. It is very exciting to have a great performer, no matter what sport he or she is great in. Set long-term goals, let him grow up and be a child. Don’t put the pressure on your young athlete (the good ones put enough pressure on themselves). Remember sportsmanship, sportsmanship, sportsmanship. Be a respectful winner and a respectful loser, and that includes the coaches and parents! And enjoy watching your child grow into a strong competitive adult athlete.

Kids and adults cool off at China Grove Church of God’s Blazing Summer Blast with the help of a spray of water from China Grove Fire Department’s Ladder 431.

China Grove church, fire department offer relief from heat BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

HINA GROVE – Sometimes, the simplest pleasures are best on a hot summer day. As part of a year of events designed to give back to the community, China Grove Church of God hosted a free fun fair, Blazing Summer Blast, Saturday. West Franklin Street was blocked off between Ketchie and Ross streets so that about 250 church members and guests could celebrate. Pastor Steve Sprinkle said the event had beaten his expectations. “We’ve had Gospel music, face painting, snow cones,” Sprinkle said. Church staff grilled more than 300 hot dogs with trimmings and hand-

ed out gallons of ice-cold soda and a constant stream of cotton candy. Mini-golf, a football throw and inflatable playhouses gave the kids a chance to burn off that sugar-fueled energy. But the biggest treat came around 2 p.m. when China Grove Fire Department’s Ladder 431 pulled up. Hooking a hose to the hydrant, the firemen helped hundreds of kids and adults alike beat the heat by spraying them with a low-pressure fog nozzle. Sprinkle didn’t run into the water. But soaked parishioners, especially kids, just couldn’t resist running up to give him “fellowship hugs.” “The whole thing has been a success,” said Irene Huffman, one of a

huge number of church members who turned out to help run the Blazing Summer Blast. “There are a lot of faces from the community, and I’ve seen a lot of people I haven’t seen before,” said Huffman. She’s been a member of the church for about four years. Church members said they hoped to gain new members as a result of the events. Betty Wayne Reid, who’s been visiting China Grove Church of God for about a year, said she was enjoying spending time with her grandson. “He’s loved the golf,” Reid said. “He’s been there all day!” Jennifer Tilley, who walked her 3-year-old son Steven Tilley Jr. around the play area, said she was glad to see her

church giving back to local families. “It’s something positive they can do for the community,” she said. Sprinkle said this year’s theme of giving back to the church’s neighbors has been very rewarding. Previous events have included a free meal and a gift card program for senior citizens and families. The focus on the community will culminate

around October with a dinner for China Grove’s civic leaders, including elected officials and fire and police chiefs, Sprinkle said. He also hopes to honor those who serve the community at a worship service. He said the church’s goal was to spend about $5,000 in the local area to put on each event. “This is about reinvesting in the community,” Sprinkle said.

Salisbury City Council will consider establishing a project for a Dixonville Cemetery memorial at its meeting Tuesday. Dixonville Cemetery on Old Concord Road is one of Salisbury’s oldest AfricanAmerican cemeteries. More than 450 burials have been documented there since 1914, with the oldest confirmed by a headstone dated 1851. The cemetery was deeded to the city in 1874 and closed in the 1960s. The cemetery is especially important to the history of the East End neighborhood, where urban renewal claimed many structures in the 1960s, a city resolution says. Improvements have been made at the site, including a roadside historical marker, and the city appointed a task force to plan and raise money for a memorial at Dixonville Cemetery. The resolution being considered Monday calls for a process to collect input from current and former residents of the area, churches and families of people buried in the cemetery, developing a site plan for the memorial, raising money, construction and a dedication ceremony. In other business, the council will: • Consider a $1.17 million contract to purchase software and equipment for the television portion of the city’s new fiber optic service. • Consider an agreement to permanently close the railroad crossing on Horah Street. The council adopted an order to close the crossing in January following a public hearing on the matter. The N.C. Department of Transportation, Norfolk Southern Railroad and the N.C. Railroad first approached the city about closing the crossing in 2006. The agreement calls for safety improvements at the Monroe Street railroad crossing and resurfacing Monroe Street. • Consider lowering the speed limit on Beachnut Lane and Dogwood Lane to 25 mph. The city has received a petition signed by 90 percent of the property owners on those streets requesting the change. • Receive an update from City Manager David Treme on the Shober Bridge on Ellis Street. Norfolk Southern wants to demolish the bridge, but historic preservationists want to save the structure built in 1857. The City Council meets at 4 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, 217 S. Main St.

A good man is hard to find? When I was a child, several lived on Old Concord Road R

ecently, when I was again reading the website of the Salisbury Post, I learned that the old Salisbury Post Office was going to soon be closing. Its solid classical structure of western architecture always made it seem to be just as constant as those remaining temples of ancient Greece and Rome (although somewhat fragmentary in their case). Now it will assume an additional similarity to those

temples, in that in regards to its original purpose, it will be closed, as they have been “closed” now for a very long MACK time. WILLIAMS When I was growing up in the 1950s and ’60s, several of the “good men” to whom I looked up worked in the old Salisbury Post Of-

fice. These men were Paul Ritchie, my next-door neighbor; Charley Ritchie, the choir director of my home church of Saint Paul’s Lutheran; and two other “good men” a little farther up the Old Concord Road: Harley Canup and his brother, Arnold. Of these, Harley is the only one still living. I remember being at the old Salisbury Post Office and seeing Harley Canup and Charlie Ritchie working at the windows and wearing their uniforms, appearing

as if their credentials as “good men” were being even further validated by the authority of the United States Government. When I think of the kinds of work done by those men who lived along our section of the Old Concord Road, I realize how basic and traditional their jobs were. My father and Mr. Fredericks worked for the railroad. Mr Cline had his own gravel business, with his own dump-truck.

As forementioned, a pair of Canups and a pair of Ritchies worked for the U.S. Post Office. Mr. Lyerly drove a bread truck, so in addition to driving a truck, he delivered something which has always been an earmark of civilization. All of these jobs: railroading, the U.S. Postal Service and driving trucks to deliver gravel and bread represented jobs that little boys aspired to, both back then and now.

Nowadays, people sometimes say: “A good man is hard to find,” but back then, locating them wasn’t difficult. They lived all along the Old Concord Road, occuring more regularly than rarely. Today, I still admire these men and still want to be like them. But now it is something more than their line of work which inspires me. It is the inspiration of the just rewards to which those “good men” who have departed us have gone.

As soon as I saw the deed, I realized it was for the land that would someday be built on as New Town in Kannapolis. It was a section of land Mr. Cannon would purchase, not contiguous to the part that would become the town of Kannapolis. It was a part of the overall purchase not connected to the main section. The price was $752.50, about, $25 per acre, for the 30½ acres. The location is east of North Ridge Avenue, consisting mainly of what is now 10th and 11th streets, to North Cannon Boulevard. After building up most of the property south of there in the 1920s, housing in the northern section began being built. The houses were similar to those previously built in the southern area, facing north and south and east and west with no deadend streets. They did have sidewalks, just as the ones in the main village did.

These houses on East 10th and East 11th streets in Kannapolis are in a section of town that used to be known as New Town. A partial deed of property to be purchased by J.W. Cannon in 1906 where New Town was established was recently donated to the History Room of the Kannapolis Library.

The houses now facing North Cannon Boulevard were originally facing west. When North Cannon Boulevard was constructed in the late 1960s, the houses with their backyards facing the new road, were turned around facing east. There was a reason to reverse them and move them further east: all of the houses had outhouses. They did not want people riding along the boulevard to see those out-

houses. At that time it would be called New Town. Every one thought another town would be built there. The owners, as listed on the deed, were G. Edgar Riley and wife E.M. Riley, D.C. Grady and wife C. Grady, R.H. Pethel and wife Ethel Pethel, B.C. Pethel, A.D. Pethel, R.C. Pethel, E.L. Pethel and S.M.A. Rogers. The names for the initials of the listed Pethels are: (RH) Reece Henderson,

Voter interest difficult to grow in NC appellate court races RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s appellate court elections have been less about candidates’ experience and more about the names on the ballot. Recent results show candidates who names sound female or have a familiar ring are winning. So even with the partisan makeup of the courts at stake, the prospects of big money entering one race and the use of instant runoff voting possible in another, candidates for several contested races in the state Supreme Court and Court of Appeals this November still will be hard pressed to get the average voter engaged beyond basic identification. “You can spend millions of dollars and 18 months’ worth of your time to shift maybe 2 percent of the vote,” said Theresa Kostrzewa, a lobbyist at the General Assembly who ran appellate court campaigns in the 1990s for Republican Bob Orr. “That could be enough but ... we might as well say ’rock, paper, scissors’ and save a lot of money.” The seat for the retiring Justice Ed Brady is up for an eightyear term on the state Supreme Court, while there are four contested seats on the statewide ballot for the Court of Appeals, the intermediate appeals court. Two current Court of Appeals judges are seeking Brady’s seat — Judge Robert Hunter of Marion and Barbara Jackson of Raleigh. While the Legislature made appellate court races officially nonpartisan starting in 2004, the partisan makeup of the two courts — especially the Supreme Court — remains important to the state’s parties. There are four registered Republicans and three Democrats on the Supreme Court. Since Brady is a registered Republican, a victory by Hunter, a Democrat, would shift the majority back to Democrats for the first time since 1998. The next

There will be a trophy for the winning team and a Callaway replica of Arnold Palmer’s first putter for closest to the pin, plus awards for second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-place. Keeping with the history of the event, there will be many door prizes, including a golf lesson from McCanless teaching pro Scott Perry, a free round of golf, gifts and gift certificates from local merchants. The first 12 women registering will receive a $50 set of Datrek headcovers. Golfers are urged to register as early as possible to ensure participation.

NC crime lab relies on bullet analysis to identify guns RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s crime lab continues to rely on bullet analysis to identify guns involved in crimes despite criticism that it is an inexact science. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Saturday in the last of its stories in a series on

a Southern Railway train, on tracks where he was responsible for maintenance. When he and his crew heard the train coming, all jumped off of the dinky. James Franklin then tried to get the dinky off the tracks. His shoe got caught between the crossties and he could not get off soon enough. He was run over by the train. During his life he had acquired over 1,000 acres in what is now North Kannapolis, extending over to West A Street. During those times the corners of the property were listed by something that was at the location, such as an iron rail, a hickory tree, a big rock or a post oak tree. Only one stake was listed on this deed. Back then the measurements were listed in chains. Chains were a measuring device used by surveyors, consisting of a chain of 100 equal lengths or about 100 feet. Of course many of the corner markings would disappear or be moved, causing disputes among land owners. When I said to some people at the library the name “New Town,” they did not know where I was talking about. I would usually say it was the first new housing development in Kannapolis, located in North Kannapolis. I think the younger generations of today have never heard some of the things we older ones just take for granted. I also suspect many of those living on 10th or 11th Street do not know they live in the section originally called New Town. This find is just another actual fact, which helps us know what actually happened in 1905 and 1906 to begin Kannapolis.

Polls: Obama losing independents BY ALAN FRAM AND TREVOR TOMPSON Associated Press

Judicial spending doubles in decade By Greg Bluestein Associated Press

Campaign fundraising for elections to the nation’s top state courts has doubled to more than $200 million over the last decade, fueled partly by super-spending individuals and groups investing big money to influence downticket races, according to a study released today. Between 2000 to 2009, campaign spending for s t a t e Supreme Court posts surged to $206.9 million compared with $83.3 million in the p r e v i o u s O’CONNOR decade, the report showed. It also found 20 of the 22 states with Supreme Court contests had their costliest-ever campaigns. “These corporations and trial lawyers have millions of millions of dollars at stake, and they feel if they can just spend a few million dollars to influence the outcome, it’s worth it,” said James Sample, a Hofstra Law School professor who was the study’s lead author. “We’re sort of playing with fire when you’re putting this much money into our courts.” The study also analyzed 29 elections in the 10 states with the most costly judicial campaigns, finding that the top five spenders in each election poured an average of $473,000 into the contests. The remaining contributors averaged about $850 apiece. In some states, a few special interests dominated judicial election spending, a trend that could grow after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in January to end the ban on election spending by corporations and unions. One example was the $3 million spent by West Virginia coal executive Don Blankenship to help elect a justice in 2004. While partisan races drew the most cash — about $154 million over the decade —

party’s efforts to cut taxes for the rich and transform Social Security into risky private investment accounts. Targeting independents is tricky, though, because the makeup of independents evolves over time. Their numbers have swollen from 3 in 10 two years ago, due partly to the weakened political loyalties that typify years without presidential elections. While some are conservatives dissatisfied with Republicans, similar numbers are disillusioned Democrats, underscoring a frustration with the party in power often seen when the economy is bad. Reflecting these conflicting dynamics, today’s independents are likelier to be minorities, conservatives, less educated, lower paid and from rural areas than they were in 2008. Sixty-seven percent think the country is heading in the wrong direction, compared with 59 percent of all voters who think so.

“People are just struggling ... It seems like he talks but he doesn’t do anything about it.”

“The perception that justice is for sale will undermine the rule of law that courts are supposed to uphold.” SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR Retired Supreme Court justice

some $51 million was spent on nonpartisan races. The report was prepared by the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law, the nonpartisan organization Justice at Stake in Washington, and the National Institute on Money in State Politics, based in Helena, Mont. The groups are worried about the amount of money being spent on judicial campaigns, but do not favor a particular alternative. The report’s foreword by ex-Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor advocates the system used in her home state of Arizona, where the governor appoints candidates nominated by a bipartisan commission. Voters then hold judges accountable in “retention” elections. “This crisis of confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary is real and growing,” she wrote. “Left unaddressed, the perception that justice is for sale will undermine the rule of law that courts are supposed to uphold.” Several states have taken small steps toward reforms. Wisconsin lawmakers enacted public financing for judicial races, joining North Carolina and New Mexico. And West Virginia’s legislature adopted a pilot public financing program. The Michigan Supreme Court adopted tough recusal rules for judges. Sample, the law professor, noted that it’s been two decades since a state scrapped a system of electing judges and moved toward an appointment system. “States are taking the initial steps,” he said. “But for all the talk, voters are very reluctant to give up their right to vote in judicial elections.”

Eight killed in California Off-road racer hits rock, rolls truck into crowd LUCERNE VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — The crowd at the offroad race was almost close enough to touch the trucks as they hurtled and bounced over the desert sand — close enough for one mistake to end eight lives. Hundreds of thrill-seeking fans watched in horror Saturday night as one racer took a jump at high speed, hit his brakes on landing and rolled his truck sideways into spectators, sending bodies flying on a section of track that had no guardrails or anything else to keep the crowd back. Eight people were killed and 12 were injured at the California 200, a race in the Mojave Desert about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. “You could touch it if you wanted to. It’s part of the excitement,” said 19-year-old Niky Carmikle, who stood sobbing over a makeshift memorial on the spot of the crash Sunday. Her boyfriend, 24-year-old Zachary Freeman of Fillmore, was killed in the crash. “There’s always that risk factor, but you just don’t expect that it will happen to you.” CHP officer Joaquin Zubieta said Brett M. Sloppy, 28, of San Marcos, was behind the wheel of truck involved in the crash near the city of Lucerne Valley. Zubieta said alcohol was not a factor in the crash and there were no plans to arrest Sloppy. Zubieta said state vehicle codes don’t apply because it was a sanctioned racing event held with the approval of the federal Bureau of Land Management, which owns the land used for the race. Tens of thousands of people were spread out along the 50-mile track, but the site of the crash, a stretch known as

“There’s always that risk factor, but you just don’t expect that it will happen to you.” NIKY CARMIKLE, 19 Victim’s girlfriend

the “rockpile,” is one of the most popular areas to gather, witnesses said. Some witnesses said they got within 4 feet of the unmarked track, watching trucks fly through the air over a series of jumps. The driver “hit the rock and just lost control and tumbled,” said Matt March, 24, of Wildomar, who was standing next to the jump. “Bodies went everywhere.” March said he and several other fans lifted the truck, which came to rest with its oversized wheels pointing toward the sky, and found four people lying unconscious underneath. John Payne, 20, of Anaheim, said he was among the

first people to reach the truck. He said the victims included one person who was decapitated. “It was complete chaos,” Payne said. Carmikle had gone to the bathroom when the crash happened. When she came back, Freeman and his best friend, 24-year-old Dustin Malson of Ventura, were dead. “Bodies all over the ground, people screaming, and all I wanted to do was find my boyfriend and my friends,” Carmikle said. It took rescue vehicles and helicopters more than half an hour to reach the remote location, though spectators said off-duty police and firefighters in the crowd joined paramedics hired by the race organizer to help the injured and place blankets over the dead. Six people died at the scene and two others died after being taken to a hospital, authorities said. Seven ambulances and 10 emergency aircraft responded, airlifting most of the 12 injured people from the area to hospitals.

Craigslist killing suspect kills self A former medical student accused of killing a masseuse he met through Craigslist committed suicide in the Boston jail where he was awaiting trial, authorities said Sunday. P h i l i p Markoff, 24, was found unresponsive in his cell Sunday morning in the Nashua MARKOFF Street Jail, the Suffolk County district attorney’s office said in an e-mailed statement, and he was pronounced dead at about 10:15 a.m. “Markoff was alone in his cell, and all evidence collected thus far indicates that he took his own life,” the statement said. Saturday would have been Markoff’s first wedding anniversary, but his nuptials were canceled after his arrest. Markoff, a former Boston University student, pleaded not guilty in the fatal shooting of Julissa Brisman, of New York City, and the armed robbery of a Las Vegas woman. Both crimes happened at Boston hotels within the span of four days in April 2009. Rhode Island prosecutors also accused him of attacking a stripper that week.

Workers push an overturned off-road race truck upright after it went out of control and ran into a crowd of spectators during a race in Lucerne Valley, calif. at least eight people were killed.

ROSEVILLE, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California appeals court has struck down a shopping mall’s policy barring people from approaching strangers to chitchat. The 3rd District Court of Appeal this week said the rules at Roseville’s Westfield Galleria violate the California Constitution’s free speech guarantee. The mall prohibited people in its common areas from approaching people they didn’t know to talk unless the conversation was about business involving the mall or its tenants. The case arose after mall officials issued a citizen’s arrest of a 27-year-old pastor who tried to talk about his faith. The appeals court says the policy effectively bars shoppers from chatting about the weather or offering directions.

Tea party activists rally on border

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican senator is suggesting there could be political fallout from President Barack Obama’s remarks about building a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks in New York City. Texas Sen. John Cornyn says Obama is “disconCORNYN nected from mainstream America” and that voters this fall will “render their verdict.” Cornyn leads the GOP’s Senate campaign committee. Obama has said that religious freedom allows the mosque to be built. But he says he’s not commenting on “the wisdom” of building a mosque two blocks from ground zero. The senator appeared on “Fox News Sunday.”

Target struggles with donation backlash ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Conservative activists say Target Corp. won’t quell the controversy over its corporate donations if the retailer gives in to demands from the left to renounce involvement in political campaigns or to help gay-friendly candidates. Charlie Weaver, a leader of a political organization supporting a conservative Republican gubernatorial candidate, said the pressure from gays and liberal organizations on Target amounts to “thuggery.” “This is simply an attempt to intimidate companies from doing what the Supreme Court said they’re entitled to do, exercise their free speech,” said Weaver.

Several candidates and tea party groups passed out free water to visitors on the ranch Sunday where temperatures hovered around 100 degrees. Hundreds of small U.S. flags and messages were attached earlier to the fence posts by opponent of illegal immigration. The fence, about 15-feet tall and built in the last decade, barely conceals the old barrier still standing behind it — a short, flimsy barbed-wire fence. One message, attached to a flag on the border wall, read, “Mister President ... Secure This Border For America.”

while enforcing other laws if they have “reasonable suspicion” that the person was in the country illegally. On Sunday, demonstrators drove about four miles on a rutted and rocky dirt road to reach a remote private ranch 70 miles west of Nogales where the steel posts of the Arizona-Mexico border wall are set inches apart to prevent people from crossing into the U.S. The rally was the most recent in a long line of sweaty demonstrations staged by activists on both sides of the debate over Arizona’s controversial law. Supporters have rallied in parks and baseball stadiums. Opponents have marched through downtown Phoenix, decrying a law they say would

R125524

HEREFORD, Ariz. (AP) — Tea party groups converged on a remote section of the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday to show support for Arizona’s controversial immigration law and hear from more than a dozen conservative speakers, many of them candidates running for office in crowded Republican primaries. Several speaking to the crowd of more than 400 demanded Congress and President Barack Obama devote more resources to increase border security in remote areas like the site of Sunday’s demonstration south of Tucson. “We are going to force them to do it, because if they don’t, we will not stop screaming,” said former state Sen. Pam Gorman, one of 10 Republicans vying for an open congressional seat in north Phoenix. Gorman carried a handgun in a holster slung over her shoulder as she mingled with demonstrators. Obama on Friday signed a bill directing $600 million more to securing the U.S.Mexico border — money that will pay for hiring 1,000 more Border Patrol agents along with customs agents, communications equipment and expanded use of unmanned aerial vehicles. A federal judge last month delayed the most contentious provisions of Arizona’s law, including a section that would require officers to check a person’s immigration status

After I learned this, I asked him if he had told his friends at work â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or any friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it ever came up.â&#x20AC;?

or pencils, etc. Members of the Salisbury-Rowan AARP chapter should bring donations to the AARP meeting Sept. 2.

taking unacceptable fashion risks. I made this decision for one reason: to stop spending money on earrings. It came with a fringe benefit I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect. I gained time and peace. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste effort trying to decide which earrings to wear. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time trying to find earrings that match. I always know where my earrings are, so I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lost an earring in many years. To my surprise, this one decision noticeably simplified my life. And it became my catalyst to discover more ways to simplify. Gradually converting to all white linens and towels has simplified doing the laundry. Sorting is a breeze. Everything matches automatically. I never deal with faded towels or mismatched pillow slips. White goes with everything, and it never goes out of style. I have learned that simplifying, even in small ways, makes my life more enjoyable. Want to simplify your life? Start small and see what happens. I have three ideas that might work for you, or maybe they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Either way, I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help you think of ways you can slow down and enjoy the things that really matter. â&#x20AC;˘ Stop buying clothes that require dry-cleaning. That

We have to deal with earrings, watches, bracelets, rings, necklaces, belts, chains, brooches, scarves, glasses, stockings, socks, hats, headbands, handbags, briefcases and shoes of every style, height and color. Being properly accessorized is anything but cheap. Years ago, I made a rash decision. In retrospect, I see it as a stroke of genius. Having owned and lost dozens of earrings in my life, I decided that from then on, I would own just one all-purpose lovely pair of earrings. I would wear that one pair all the time. Why not? I had worn the same ring day after day, year after year and had not been arrested for

dense, stupid and angry. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Angry and Hurt Dear Angry: Unless your boyfriend has children with his ex, there is no reason for him to inform her of his other intimate relationships. However, I agree that not telling others is hurtful to you. You two have a lot to talk about. You might start the ball rolling by hosting a get-together for friends from both sides of your relationship in your home. In the old days, these were called â&#x20AC;&#x153;dinner parties.â&#x20AC;?

sexuality. Nor should it be a referendum on the sort of music or nonmusic your neighbor listens to. As offensive as this is, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you have an inalienable right not to hear foul language. The volume of the noise, however, is your business. The acoustics on any body of water mean that sounds carry especially well. Remind your neighbors of this when you reintroduce yourself and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for keeping the speakers off when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not outside. That makes a huge difference and we appreciate it. It would also be great if you could keep the volume lower. The sound carries so well; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really distracting.â&#x20AC;? The previous owners of your home might have other ideas for how to handle this. Check and see if your community has regulations covering noise levels. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be friends with these people. You only need to tolerate one another.

Dear Amy: My partner and I (we are a middle-age lesbian couple) recently purchased a house on a lake. Our neighbors have a sound system with speakers on their boathouse, so, of course, we hear whatever they play. We asked them to turn the speakers off when they ASK are not outAMY side and, for the most part, they have done that. Yesterday morning, they were outside and the music (I hesitate to use that word) included several extremely offensive words, and one phrase repeated over and over that was particularly vulgar. I want to ask them not to play this type of music but every time I think about it, I play scenarios in my head where my neighbor comes back at me with rude remarks about how I offend her. I am annoyed that I am so weak-kneed, and because we live in such close proximity, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to ruin our chances of a neighborly relationship. Our goal is to be neighborly and friendly, but they have indicated by not returning friendly waves, etc., that they are not interested.

“The truth shall make you free”

My Turn: James B. Knowles

Disparate approaches to election disclosure R

ALEIGH — In this upcoming election and perhaps the next, North Carolina will be part of an interesting political experiment. The experiment will be borne out on the airwaves as the effects take hold of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that allows corporations and unions to spend money on behalf of political candidates. Before North Carolina legislators left town in SCOTT they passed MOONEYHAM July, legislation to address the high court’s ruling; before Congress left Washington, it failed to pass similar legislation affecting federal races. The result is that corporations and unions that decide to engage in media blitzes aimed at electing state candidates will have to file campaign finance reports similar to those filed by the candidates, disclosing specific donors and sources of money that went for ads and mailers. And just like candidates, their ads will be required to contain those little disclaimers showing who paid for it. This year, the requirements will only affect legislative races and judicial races. Other state offices — governor, attorney general and the like — won’t be up for election until 2012. One of North Carolina’s U.S. Senate seats is up for election. Incumbent Republican Sen. Richard Burr faces Democratic Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and Libertarian economics professor Mike Beitler. There will be no requirement that corporations or unions wanting to influence the U.S. Senate race disclose who they are in ads or that they quickly report funding sources. Obviously, the top-of-the-ticket Senate race will generate more interest and more money than state legislative or judicial races. So, maybe it takes the next two election cycles for the disparate approaches to the opening of the corporate money flow to play out. Still, the upcoming election here will provide hints about whether corporations and unions, and their shadow election campaigns, are only comfortable as long as they can remain in the shadows. How many corporate-backed groups will be interested in exercising these free speech rights when they are unable to do so anonymously, hiding behind some made-up name? When Republicans in the U.S. Senate blocked consideration of the federal disclosure legislation, they did so claiming it was an impediment to free speech rights. When North Carolina lawmakers passed the disclosure requirements, conservatives argued they would complicate the role of grassroots activists. It’s an interesting response. For years, many conservatives have argued for an end to campaign donor limits in favor of more disclosure. Now that the courts have, in some respects, quashed donor limits, these folks don’t want disclosure either. What they seem to want is speech to be both free and easy. If Target and Best Buy want to spend money to influence a governor’s race, they’ve been freed to do so. It doesn’t mean that, upon learning of that decision, I can’t decide to shop elsewhere, just like it didn’t mean that George W. Bush fans had to keep buying Dixie Chicks records after that band’s well-publicized criticism of the former president. Or maybe there’s some special protection for cowardice in the First Amendment that I missed.

Thanks to a great coach for guiding all-star success Two years ago a group of young boys participated in the East Rowan Little League 10year-old All Star District Tournament in Winston Salem, placing fourth. After that tournament, a number of parents didn’t want to see this group stop playing so we asked Brian Ritchie to coach the team. He agreed and proceeded to mold these young men into ball players. They started playing tournament ball, practicing each week under Coach Ritchie’s tutelage. He put in many hours with these kids, continually telling them they were preparing for their 12-year-old All-Star season. As a coach myself, I’ve never met someone as patient who brings out the best in young men as Coach Brian Ritchie. He needed patience; some tournaments we won, others we got beaten badly, but it was all for growth. As 11-year-old All Stars, this group went 2-2l. In the fall of 2009, as 12 year olds, this group placed in most tournaments, bringing home hardware which was missing from the spring. Through all of this Coach Ritchie continued practicing, being patient working towards his goal to prepare this bunch for the 12 year old All Stars. In spring of 2010, the team played in four Nations Tournaments, participated in the Cal

his spring, students, parents and faculty at the Rowan Cabarrus Community College Early Childhood Development Center were informed the department would be eliminated, effective June 30. Earlier this month, while running an errand, I stopped by RCCC to pick up my nieces, both of whom had been students at the Early Childhood Center. They were excited, as a silent auction was being held in the 700 building on campus. Inside, the entire contents of the Early Childhood Center were being sold. I was unaware of the auction, and tried to explain to the children I did not want to see the items out of the context I had grown to know since I first visited the center in 2004 to see a student performance by my older niece. I was asking the girls, but really venting my frustrations out loud when I said: “You know what hypocrisy is? It is when people say one thing and then do another.” Continuing my vent, I boasted: “We make grand statements saying we are going to educate every child, and then we turn around and close down something like the Early Childhood Center.” The girls wanted to go inside and see their former teachers Carolyn Arey, Janet Ferguson, and Ms. Evalyn who were inside bidding on the items that for years they treated as their James own, but were ultimately Knowles forowned by the school. I couldmerly taught in n’t do it. My heart had sunk, Mississippi. He and the whole situation reincurrently lives forced a melancholy lament in Salisbury. I have about the state of public education, not just in Rowan County, but nationwide. I am an unemployed education professional. I had been teaching in North Mississippi since 2001, and being forced to sell my home, I moved to Salisbury to stay at my parents’ home this January. To help out my sister, I pick my nieces up from school, stopping at Granite Quarry Elementary and RCCC’s Early Childhood Center. I first met Carolyn Arey in 2004. When she told me of the center’s fate, I was saddened and shocked. I could only imagine the hurt felt by Ms. Carolyn and her staff. I knew she had spent 30 years working at the school; by this time she was the director. The center was covered with her fingerprints, love, effort and sweat. I saw first-hand how she worked with young students, and she would not go too many minutes before one of the students insisted on giving her a hug. Ms. Carolyn put on a straight face and tried to put the best light on the situation in front of her students and staff. The notion that a child’s brain develops more from age 3-5 than any other age is a proven fact. If a child gets used to doing school work early on, the benefits are great: the student will perform better in grade school, high school and college. Why then would anyone in education shut down an early childhood development center? Take another case in point: public schools have a three-tier purpose. First, schools are to serve the curriculum of the classes being taught; second, to serve the needs of the student; and third, to serve the needs of the community. How does RCCC serve the needs of the community by shutting down an early childhood development center when the benefits of such a program serve the needs of students in such a community where these prototypes may actually become students at the exact same community college in 15 short years? I would like to encourage all readers of the Salisbury Post to become proponents of public education. Support all public school teachers, from early childhood development through grade school, middle school and high school, as well as at community colleges and staterun universities. Insist state and national legislators fund public schools. Do not allow yourself to be conned into thinking running a school like a business is fair for all. Where privatization and charter schools may be good for some, they are harmful to many more. I believe in the right of people to attend a private school if they so choose, but I do not believe those schools should exist at the expense of the public school system. I believe “high stakes” testing should be part of the equation of student and teacher assessment, but not the only means of assessment. Think back to your favorite teacher. Was that teacher your favorite because they taught you test-taking skills for a standardized test? My bet is that teacher you remember of so fondly was due to that person’s humanistic qualities — like Ms. Carolyn taking the time to give a heart-felt hug to a 4-yearold. The teachers we love most instill a better quality of life in our world. Can such a value be assessed?

Gulf driller looking forward to finishing job NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The man with pinpoint accuracy who is drilling the relief well meant to plug BP’s runaway well is looking forward to finishing his mission and celebrating with a cigar, a dinner party with his crew and a trip somewhere quiet to unwind with his wife. John Wright has never missed his target over the years, successfully drilling 40 relief wells that were used to plug leaks around the world. People along the Gulf Coast aren’t the only ones hoping he can make it 41-for-41. “Anyone who has ever worked extremely hard on a long project wants to see it successfully finished, as long as it serves its intended purpose,” Wright, 56, who is leading the team drilling the primary relief well, said in a lengthy e-mail exchange with the Associated Press from the Development Driller III vessel. “That is where my job satisfaction is derived.” BP began work on its primary relief well in early May to permanently seal the ruptured well. But about two weeks ago, around the time the company had done a successful static kill pumping mud and cement into the top of the well, executives began signaling that the bottom kill procedure might not be needed.

UN chief: Pakistan flood disaster calls for more assistance ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Sunday he has never seen anything like the flood disaster in Pakistan after surveying the devastation and urged foreign donors to speed up assistance to the 20 million people affected. Ban’s comments reflect the concern of the international community about the unfolding disaster in Pakistan, which is battling alQaida and Taliban militants, has a weak and unpopular government, and an anemic economy propped up by international assistance. “This has been a heartwrenching day for me,” Ban said after flying over the hard-hit areas with President Asif Ali Zardari. “I will never forget the destruction and suffering I have witnessed today. In the past I have witnessed many natural disasters around the world, but nothing like this.” Ban visited Myanmar after Cyclone Nargis devastated the country in May 2008, killing an estimated 138,000 people. He also flew to China’s Sichuan province just days after an earthquake killed nearly 90,000 people in March 2008.

Ice cream highlights final day of Obama family trip to Gulf PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla.

The Obamas boarded the 50-foot Bay Point Lady on a rainy, overcast morning, the second and final day of a weekend getaway during which the president assured residents that his administration would not forget the region even after oil stopped spewing from a broken oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. With first lady Michelle Obama and 9-year-old daughter Sasha beside him, Obama leaned over the bow of the Bay Point Lady to watch porpoises as their boat cut through the calm waters of St. Andrews Bay. Back on shore, the family stopped for treats — mint chocolate chip ice cream for the president, Oreo ice cream for Sasha, and a hot fudge sundae without

Advocates: Soldiers wrongly tagged with personality disorder

CHURCH

WASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the Iraq war, the Army routinely dismissed hundreds of soldiers for having a personality disorder when they were more likely suffering from the traumatic stresses of war, discharge data suggests. Under pressure from Congress and the public, the Army later acknowledged the problem and drastically cut the number of soldiers given the designation. But advocates for veterans say an unknown number of troops still unfairly bear the stigma of a personality disorder, making them ineligible for military health care and other benefits. “We really have an obligation to go back and make sure troops weren’t misdiagnosed,” said Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen, a clinical psychologist whose nonprofit “Give an Hour” connects troops with volunteer mental health professionals. The Army denies that any soldier was misdiagnosed before 2008, when it drastically cut the number of discharges due to personality disorders and diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorders skyrocketed. Unlike PTSD, which the Army regards as a treatable mental disability caused by the acute stresses of war, the military designation of a personality disorder can have devastating consequences for soldiers.

Charges dropped against Buffalo man in shooting of 4 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — A prosecutor said the evidence didn’t back up murder charges against a parolee who had been accused of opening fire outside a downtown restaurant, killing four people and wounding four others, and had the counts dismissed Sunday. Keith Johnson, 25, of Buffalo, was still being held in jail on a parole violation. He could be rearrested if authorities change their minds, but Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III cited photo evidence and witness statements in seeking dismissal. “I’m not going to prosecute someone for a quadruple homicide unless I’m sure he did it,” Sedita told City Court Judge Patrick Carney, with Johnson sitting handcuffed next to him, “and I’m not sure he did it.” Investigators removed several security cameras from the around the restaurant Saturday and viewed the images into the evening. Sedita said authorities have clear video of the shooting.

Threats to ban BlackBerry echo US encryption debate NEW YORK (AP) — Threats by the governments of India, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to shut down BlackBerry’s corporate e-mail services reflect unease about a technology that the U.S. government also took a while to accept.

South Korea: North must change and embrace reunification SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s president urged North Korea to abandon military provocations and make a “courageous change” toward peace, using a speech Sunday marking the Korean peninsula’s liberation from Japanese rule to outline a path for its eventual reunification. North Korea didn’t immediately respond to the proposal but issued a warning that its military would be “merciless” in its retaliation against joint military exercises planned this week by South Korea and the United States. President Lee Myung-bak made the offer as relations between the two Koreas are at their lowest point in years following the March sinking of a South Korean warship that an international investigation blamed on North Korea. Forty-six sailors were killed. North Korea denies attacking the ship. “The North must never venture to carry out another provocation, nor will we tolerate it if they do so again,” Lee said in a nationally televised speech. Lee — marking the 65th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese rule at the end of World War II in 1945 — called the ship’s sinking an “unprovoked attack” by North Korea and demanded Pyongyang heed calls to improve ties with Seoul. He also said South Korea should prepare for unification with North Korea by studying measures including the adoption of a unification tax aimed at raising money for the costs of integration. Dressed in traditional Korean clothes, Lee spoke after officials unveiled the restored main gate of the former royal palace. The Gwanghwamun gate symbolizes Korea’s turbulent modern history, as it was once torn down and rebuilt at a different site to make room for the Japanese governor’s building during the colonial period before it was destroyed again.

Shirley Young, center, hugs aspyn Carter as Katherine Clark, left, stands by after the 11 o'clock service at Yadkin Methodist Church off U.S. 29 near the former N.C. Finishing Co.

The Rev. G.a. Presley squints against the bright skies after completing the Sunday morning worship service at Yadkin United Methodist Church. Methodist is a lonely sentinel against the harsh landscape across from it — the debris left from the demolition of what used to be the focus of the Yadkin community — the N.C. Finishing Co. The mill even built the church back in 1930. Now only two water towers rise from the rubble, and even the optimistic church-goers wonder if plans for a “High Rock Raceway” will ever materialize. Not far from the church stands the old Yadkin school, overtaken by vegeta-

tion. Before many of the mill houses were moved elsewhere, the thriving Yadkin community also had a park (with a carousel) not far from the church. It’s difficult now to imagine those days, looking out from the front steps of Yadkin Methodist. “When I first came here,” Young said, “the pews were full.” It was a community that cared about people, said Katherine Clark, who has been a church member since it was built. “Every-

body just went in different directions,” she added. Presley’s message came from Ruth in the Old Testament. He touched on gleaning and faith and, of course, hope. He told his flock that God was with them, no matter what happens. After his benedition, Presley wished everyone a good week and said he would see them next Sunday. “And bring somebody with you,” he said. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

Harvick holds off Hamlin at Michigan BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — He already had horsepower, handling and the points lead. Now Kevin Harvick has a win this season at a track other than Talladega or Daytona. Harvick passed Denny Hamlin with 11 laps to go Sunday, then held on to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup series race at Michigan International Speedway.

It paid off with Harvick’s third win of the season and his first this year on a non-restrictor plate track. The victory was another significant step in the resurgence of

SALISBURY FOOTBALL

BY DOUG FERGUSON SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Martin Kaymer won his first major Sunday in a PGA Championship that will be remembered as much for the guy who tied for fifth. The final stroke of this most bizarre major was Kaymer tapping in from 2 KAYMER feet to win a three-hole playoff over Bubba Watson. Equally significant was the 4-iron that Dustin Johnson gently placed in the sand behind his ball on the final hole of regulation at Whistling Straits, unaware that he was in one of more than 1,000 bunkers that litters this lunarlike landscape. Johnson had a one-shot lead playing the 18th hole when he drove it well right into a tiny patch of sand where the gallery had been walking all week. He grounded his club, thinking it was grass that had been killed under a week’s worth of foot traffic. Fans were packed so tight around him that he never gave it another thought. “Walking up there, seeing the shot, it never once crossed my mind that I was in a sand trap,” Johnson said. “It’s very unfortunate. The only worse thing that could have happened was if I had made the putt on that last hole.” He missed the 7-foot par putt to seemingly slip into a three-man playoff with Kaymer and Watson. But the two-shot penalty turned his 71 into a 73, and instead of going to a playoff for redemption from his U.S. Open meltdown, Johnson tied for fifth and headed home. As Johnson was leaving the course, Kaymer was coming up clutch again. The 25-year-old German holed a 15-foot par putt on the 18th hole in regulation for a 2-under 70 to join Watson (68) at 11-under 277. One shot behind in the playoff, Kaymer made another 15-foot putt for birdie on the par-3 17th, then watched Watson implode. Watson went from the right rough into the water, then over the green into a bunker. His bunker shot hit the flag, and he tapped in for double bogey. Kaymer chipped out after seeing Watson go in the water, and he hit 7-iron to 15 feet for a two-putt bogey. “I don’t realize what happened,” Kaymer said. “I just won my first major. I’ve got goose bumps just talking about it.” Kaymer earned $1.35 million, went to third in the Ryder Cup standings for Europe and moved to a career-best No. 5 in the world. It was the cruelest ending to a major since Roberto de Vicenzo signed for a higher score in the final round of the 1968 Masters that was won by Bob Goalby.

lowing serious injuries in a plane crash. “It’s great,” Edwards said. “We really wanted to get a win for him today, but that’s a strong performance for us.” Edwards has finished seventh or better in six straight races and he likes his chances going into the Chase. But nobody has been as consistent as Harvick this season.

Adkins back at Salisbury as an assistant to Pinyan t a recent Salisbury practice, J.K. Adkins is calling plays and hustling one quarterback in after another. He’s happy to be coaching at Salisbury, and the best part is it’s stressfree fun. As the head coach of Patton High in Morganton, the last three RONNIE GALLAGHER years were not. That’s what happens when you start a prep program from scratch. The first year, Patton had no varsity football. The second year, it won three games with no seniors. Last year, there were four wins with no seniors. “People don’t understand the stress and work involved with a new school,” Adkins said. “You can ask (Carson’s) Mark Woody. It’s very, very difficult. Quite honestly, I felt like I burned myself out.” There’s no doubt Adkins can coach. Before he went to Patton, he guided a South Iredell team coming off 24 straight losses to the third round of the playoffs by his second year. But before all that, he was here at Salisbury, coming over in 2003 when Joe Pinyan took the job. And when Adkins, 32, heard a history position had come

open during the middle of last year, he jumped at the chance to return. “Some of my happiest years were here,” he said. “It’s fun to see Joe do well. I think he’s got it to the next step.” Adkins quickly showed he wasn’t a prima donna. The former Hornet defensive coordinator demanded nothing. “I’m not an egotistical person,” Adkins shrugged. “I told Joe I’d help wherever he needed me.” He became the quarterbacks coach, working with John Knox and backups Brian Bauk and Jon Hall. “We’ve got some good quarterbacks,” Adkins said. “I just have to keep from screwing them up.” Pinyan has no worries. When he was offered the Salisbury job, he told school officials he wouldn’t come unless Adkins, then only 25, was part of the package. To have Adkins back? “It’s the greatest feeling in the history of football,” Pinyan crowed. “You can’t put into words what him coming back does for our staff.” In hindsight, Adkins says he probably should’ve stayed at South Iredell. The community was behind him, and a strong jayvee team was coming. But the Patton challenge was enticing.

Third loss in row for Rampage From staff reports

The Rowan Rampage minor league football team lost to the Greenville Seminoles 12-0 at the Dunbar Center on Saturday. The Seminoles scored a defensive touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, falling on an errant pitchout in the end zone. The Rampage defense, led by Phillip Brown and Scotty Robinson, played very well, and the Seminoles, the defending CCFL champs, had to settle for a 6-0 halftime lead. Greenville scored its second touchdown midway through the third quarter. The Rampage (2-3) moved the ball better after halftime and knocked on the door several times but couldn’t generate any points. “This was a tough loss, to a tough team, but we’ve got some positive things to take out of this,” Rampage owner/player Scott Roby said. “Greenville is one of the best in the league, and there is no doubt they had a ball game on their hands. We were this close to spoiling their season. If we’d had a few more of our horses, who were no-shows, we’d be on Cloud Nine right now.” Roby said the Rampage dance team was outstanding. Rowan goes to Rockingham to play Richmond County’s Golden Bears on Saturday.

Jarrett fitter, more focused BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Dwayne Jarrett laughed Sunday when told he’s the same age as Carolina rookie teammate Brandon LaFell, fully aware of the implications. At 23, LaFell is considered the future of the Panthers’ receivers. At 23, the bust label is gaining steam for Jarrett after three ineffective seasons that have produced as many arrests as touchdown catches. Only Jarrett on Sunday looked and sounded like a different person. He talked of how he’s finally matured, slimmed down, got fit, is comfortable with the offense and not ready to concede the open starting job to LaFell or anybody else. “I just wasn’t aware. It was all a part of growing up and becoming a pro,” Jarrett said. “I didn’t quite fully understand that, what it took. The offseason workouts, watching your diet and the little things, the details of becoming a pro. Once I got it, I took it and I ran with it.” The 6-foot-4 Jarrett has had a good training camp. Down nine pounds to 209, he looks quicker, yet still has the size to make difficult catches in traffic. While he was chastised by coaches early in camp for running the wrong route, those mistakes are less routine nowadays. But perhaps most significantly, Jarrett seems to be taking things more serious after spending the past three seasons playing only 29 games with 33 catches and one touchdown. “When I got here back in the spring the thing I mentioned is I don’t care about what he did in the past. He has a clean slate

with me,” Panthers first-year receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said. “What he’s going to be judged on by me is what he does from this day forward. And he’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. He’s making plays on the ball.” It’s what the Panthers expected three years ago when they took the then-20-year-old with a second-round pick in 2007 and then cut Keyshawn Johnson days later. Jarrett was fresh off setting the Southern California career record with 41 touchdowns in only three seasons. He was supposed to be the big, possession receiver opposite the small and speedy Steve Smith. Only Jarrett wasn’t ready for the NFL. He would get jammed at the line of scrimmage and struggled to learn the playbook as a rookie. Smith embarrassed him after practice one day by telling him to watch film instead of talking to reporters. Jarrett was inactive in nine games and caught six passes. He topped it off in the offseason by getting arrested for driving while impaired. Jarrett kept finding the inactive list over the next two seasons, too. He caught just 10 passes in 2008 and 17 last season. While he did close the season with five catches for 68 yards and his first TD against New Orleans, Jarrett bashing was a familiar theme for frustrated fans. “I think I took a lot of low blows coming in my first couple of years just because I did have a lot of downs,” Jarrett said. “I’m definitely strong and I fought through everything, all the negativity. I just tried to stay positive and focused on what I have to do to become a better player.”

The light clicked for Jarrett in the offseason. He started watching his diet. He worked out more and lost weight and caught the eye of coaches in June workouts as they looked to replace veteran starter Muhsin Muhammad, who wasn’t re-signed. “It’s all a part about growing up,” Jarrett said. “The NFL, if anybody could do it everybody would be doing it. I had to get around that learning curve. I think once I did, especially coming in this year being way under my weight and just being more explosive off the ball. I just thank God for just getting me the work ethic to get to this point.” Jarrett still faces a difficult challenge, and a roster spot isn’t even guaranteed. The Panthers took LaFell and Armanti Edwards in the third round of the draft. Kenny Moore and Wallace Wright have spent time with the starters as Smith remains sidelined with a broken arm. Jarrett, who had one catch for 7 yards against Baltimore last week, is expected to start in Saturday’s preseason game against the New York Jets. “When I got here and they were telling me about the guys they had they said he’s been a little inconsistent,” Tolbert said. “He’s done a great job up until this point, so hopefully he keeps it up.” It’s the kind of praise Jarrett has rarely received in an NFL career he still hopes to salvage. He won’t turn 24 until next month. “I got drafted so young ... I was kind of like a teenager in the NFL,” Jarrett said. “With that and having the experience of everything that I went through to this point, it’s definitely a growth process.”

Rules violation eliminates Johnson BY NANCY ARMOUR Associated Press

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Dustin Johnson turned his pencil upside down and began erasing his scorecard. He’d already given one major championship away. He never got a chance to finish this one. Johnson was knocked out of the playoff at the PGA Championship on Sunday after he was penalized two strokes for grounding his club in a bunker he didn’t even realize existed. Instead of 71 to join Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson in the three-hole playoff, he changed his score from a 5 to a 7

PGA FROM 1B Watson was only disappointed for a few minutes until learning he had played his way onto the Ryder Cup team. For Johnson, this might take far longer to recover from the U.S. Open, where he had a three-shot lead going into the final round, took triple bogey on the second hole and shot an 82. The final major of the year proved to be the most thrilling over the final hour, even with Tiger Woods long gone before all the excitement began. Woods closed with a 73 and tied for 28th. Six players had a share of the lead at some point Sunday, and six players were separated by one shot over the final 30 minutes. That included Rory McIlroy, the 21-year-old from Northern

HARVICK FROM 1B “I really don’t see how he can’t be, really, the favorite going into it,” Hamlin said. With the Chase looming, Hamlin acknowledged that his Joe Gibbs Racing team is lagging behind Harvick and RCR. “Those guys, they’re tough,” Hamlin said. “They’ve really got everything working right now. Their cars are handling really well, and they’ve got horsepower. Those are two things that are tough to beat.” Harvick isn’t embracing the role of championship favorite, saying Johnson is the driver to beat until somebody actually beats him. “Until you beat that guy, there’s no reason to put that pressure on yourselves,” Harvick said. It was a rough day for several Chase contenders. Kurt Busch blew an engine, Mark Martin

and signed for a 73 to tie for fifth. “I don’t know if I can describe it,” said Johnson, who showered quickly and was on his way to the parking lot before Kaymer and Watson finished their first hole. “If it was up to me, I wouldn’t have thought I was in a bunker. But it’s not up to me.” It was the cruelest ruling at a major since Roberto de Vicenzo accidentally signed for a higher score at the 1968 Masters, and the victory went to Bob Goalby. And it was yet another major heartbreak for Johnson. The 26-year-old was the third-round leader at the U.S. Open, only to have a complete meltdown Sunday and shoot 82.

He insisted he wouldn’t let the collapse linger, and Pebble Beach seemed the furthest thing from his mind at Whistling Straits. When he curled in a 12-footer for birdie on the par-3 17th, he was the outright leader, less than a halfhour from redemption. But his tee shot on 18 sailed into the gallery lining the right side of the fairway, landing in a small patch of sand that had been walked on, kicked and trampled by thousands of fans over the last week. “Walking up and seeing the shot, never once did it cross my mind it was in a sand trap,” Johnson said.

Ireland who was trying to become the youngest major champion in 80 years. He had a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole to join the leaders at 11 under, only for the putt to turn away. Also one shot behind was former Masters champion Zach Johnson. Both of them needed a birdie on the 500-yard closing hole that only allowed one birdie in the final round. For all the clutch putts by Kaymer, however, this PGA Championship came down to the bunkers. The PGA of America posted a notice in the locker room and on the first tee throughout the week, reminding players that all bunkers will be treated like hazards — even though the ropes go right through the middle of some of them, and fans can pitch a lawn chair in them. Six years ago in the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits, Stuart Appleby was un-

aware of the rule and assessed a four-shot penalty. Johnson never disputed that he grounded his club, yet he was no less stunned to realize he was in a bunker. Inside the scoring room, he could be seen erasing the 5 on this scorecard and changing it to a 7. A PGA rules official approached him before he left the 18th green and said to Johnson and his playing partner, Nick Watney, that it appeared Johnson had grounded his club in a bunker. “What bunker?” Johnson said he told him. “There’s a lot going on. I’m excited I had a putt to win — or thought I had a putt to win. Walking off ... I think I’m going to a playoff, and I’ve got a two-stroke penalty.” Dressed in street clothes as he spoke to reporters, Johnson had to watch Watson and Kaymer head for the three-hole playoff.

damaged his car early before spending most of the afternoon running outside the top 30 and Jeff Gordon was in the top 10 when he had a flat tire with 47 laps to go. Gordon finished 27th, Martin finished 28th and Busch finished 40th. Ryan Newman and Joey Logano tangled on the track, then had to be separated by NASCAR officials after the race. “He races me way too hard, he races everybody too hard,” Logano said. “I’m not the only one that complains about it every week.” Newman was not available for comment. Leaders Tony Stewart and Harvick stayed on the track instead of making pit stops when a caution came out with 32 laps left — leaving them at the front of the field with most other drivers on fresher tires and 28 laps to go on the restart. Hamlin took the lead from Stewart with 23 laps until the end, but Harvick stayed on his

tail and finally got past him with 11 left. Stewart slipped to sixth at the finish. Busch sustained a “catastrophic” engine failure, slipping from fourth to 10th in the points. “We didn’t get it done,” Busch said. “We’ll bounce back and be back next week. We should be OK in points.” Things didn’t go much better for Martin, who had to spend extra time in the pits after scraping his car’s nose early in the race. Martin slipped to 13th in the points, now one spot behind Clint Bowyer for the final Chaseeligible spot in the standings. Gordon appeared headed for a good finish, then a tire went flat in the middle of heavy traffic. He avoided heavy contact with other cars or the wall but fell far back in the field. It was a much better day for Harvick, who won’t be under much pressure the next three weeks. “Do you think it’d go over well if we went on vacation?” Harvick joked.

PREP FOOTBALL

Ronnie GallaGheR/SALISBURY POST

Backup quarterback Brian Bauk takes a snap during a recent practice with the Hornets. J.K. Adkins is helping coach Bauk, starter Jon Knox and reserve John Hall this season.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B

Ronnie GallaGheR/SALISBURY POST

Head coach Joe Pinyan has an active role in Salisbury’s preseason practices.

Adkins went to a school with collegelike facilities but basically middle school athletes. He marvels at the difference every time he watches Knox. “We were dealing with a little less of an athlete at Patton,” Adkins said. “It’s going to be fun to coach that type of kid.” Pinyan said back in 2003 he’d probably lose KNOX Adkins one day to a head coaching job. And he did. He knows it will happen again someday. “I said it then and I’ll say it now,” Pinyan noted. “J.K. is the best young football coach in the state of North Carolina. He’s giving the players an education on how to play the game.” Adkins acknowledges another head-

J.K. Adkins, left, works with John Knox. coaching job could be in his future. But not now. “I’m not thinking about that. My focus is to help Salisbury,” he said. “It’s kinda fun to step back and have fun coaching a position.” Especially with no stress. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-7974287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

HORNETS FROM 1B Pinyan also said Morris’ best 40 time is 4.31, which was electronically timed. Whatever the numbers, Morris is in demand. He has traveled the country this summer, going to camps and track meets. “It’s been crazy,” the Zoomin’ Human said. “I’ve been all over the world. It’s a great experience doing all this. I thank God for all of it.” • NEXT? Morris won’t be around after this season, and someone has to take his place. Pinyan already knows who that will likely be: junior Dominique Dismuke. On the day Darien Rankin announced his commitment to North Carolina, Pinyan wasn’t gloating. He was out in the heat working on the 40 time of Dismuke. “He’s one of the next wave,” Pinyan said. “He gets his 40 time down a little more and he’ll RANKIN be one of those topnotch kids.” Pinyan said a team could still be in trouble if it takes away Morris. “Dismuke will absolutely hurt you,” Pinyan said. “He’s more punishing and physical.” Dismuke says he’s motivated by Rankin and Morris. “If they can get a big-time scholarship like that, maybe I can too,” he said. And Dismuke is ready. “When Romar leaves, I’m going to have to step up and be the team captain,” he said. “That means more responsibility.” • HEEL YEAH: Rankin, a 6-1 safety, is the epitome of not giving up, according to Pinyan. Rankin wasn’t impressive the first couple of times he attended UNC’s one-day camps.

Ronnie GallaGheR/SALISBURY POST

Assistant coach Philip Russ was a long snapper during his college career at Catawba. “His situation with Carolina speaks volumes for him,” Pinyan said. “He kept pushing himself on them, and they realized this kid is a great player.” • HARD KNOX: Quarterback John Knox is on the Division II radar, and a triple-option school like Lenoir-Rhyne would be a perfect place if he goes that route. But Pinyan said Knox can play at an FCS school like Georgia Southern, which runs the triple option. “I really think he’s a Division I quarterback for a team like Georgia Tech,” Pinyan said. • LIFE OF RILEY: Most of the recruiting talk over the summer has surrounded Morris, Rankin and

Knox. But don’t forget about tight end Riley Gallagher, who had nine touchdowns with only 14 receptions last season. People just forget about the tight end in a wishbone offense. “He won’t be under the radar this year,” Pinyan warned. Pinyan said Gallagher is getting attention from Furman, Wofford and Campbell but is leaning toward Davidson. Why? He’s smart. “Sometimes, I wonder if we shouldn’t ask him to call the coin flip,” Pinyan said. “He can probably figure out how many times that thing rotates. He’s a very, very bright kid.” • BUSY BODY: David Simons just wants to do everything. He is the

kicker in football, but he also tries cross country and soccer in the fall. Pinyan said kicking wasn’t even enough for Simons. He has asked the coach to try him at receiver. • QUESTION MARK: The Hornet offensive line is inexperienced, but in the wishbone, blockers need to basically get in the way. “They need to just get a piece of them,” Pinyan said. “We’re pretty fast.” Pinyan joked that if they’re up against a 270-pound defender and just block half of him, Salisbury will run on the 135-pound side that was blocked. • COACHES LOST: Assistants Jonathan Oliphant, Webb Brannon and Chip Pickard all moved over to

Mooresville. But Pinyan says there’s a good reason. They all attended the school. “We didn’t want to lose any of them,” he said. “But going back there is probably a positive in their eyes.” • COACHES GAINED: Former Catawba long snapper Philip Russ and defensive back Jasmon Carpenter joined the staff. Also moving over to Salisbury is Omar Robertson, a former great on the football field as a receiver for North Rowan. He was so good, he earned the nickname “Smoke.” Russ watched Salisbury’s Western 2AA final loss to NewtonConover last year and knew he wanted to be a Hornet. “Watching that game, I realized about the best system in Rowan County was this one,” he said. “It’s always the same every year, and it always produces great athletes. It’s something that’s fun to work with.” As far as his alma mater, Russ said of Catawba, “They’ve got a lot of great athletes coming back, and I just hate not being a part of it. But I feel my calling was to coach this year.” • GET READY, ERIN: Maybe Erin Yow (formerly Towns) should sit down for a long talk with Pinyan’s wife, Gina. She married Salisbury offensive line coach Daniel Yow recently and is now officially a coach’s wife. Gina loves to tell stories about her husband being on the field coaching or umpiring during anniversaries. The new Mrs. Yow needs to embrace it, according to the male Pinyan. “I’ve already told her she can see Daniel on Saturdays and in December,” he said. • MEDIA MAN: Pinyan has joined the other side. Now, he’s broadcasting over the air. He has a commercial on WSAT 1280-AM telling listeners to tune in for all Salisbury games on that station.

USA trims roster Associated Press

NEW YORK — The United States reduced its roster to 13 players, cutting Jeff Green and JaVale McGee. USA Basketball made the moves before it beat France 86-55 in an exhibition game at Madison Square Garden. Cutting McGee leaves Tyson Chandler as the only true center on the American roster. Chauncey Billups scored 17 points, nine in an early third-quarter flurry that broke open the game. Rudy Gay had 19 points to lead the Americans.

NBA HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Denver forward Carmelo Anthony says he has no timetable on when he’ll decide whether to sign the team’s $65 million, three-year extension that’s been on the table all summer.  MIAMI — The Florida Highway Patrol says Miami forward Udonis Haslem was arrested on a drug charge following a Sunday afternoon traffic stop. FHP spokesman Sgt. Mark Wysocky said he expected that the charge would be related to marijuana possession.

NFL INDIANAPOLIS — David Carr threw one TD pass, and San Francisco scored 34 straight points to pull away for a 37-17 preseason victory over Indianapolis. Six of the Colts starters did not play, and Peyton Manning led the Colts to a field goal and a touchdown on their first two series.  HOUSTON — Houston Texans coach Gary Kubiak says rookie running back Ben Tate will need surgery after suffering a “pretty severe” ankle injury in Saturday’s preseason opener. Tate was the Texans’ second-round draft pick out of Auburn.

COLLEGES LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky wide receiver Gene McCaskill will miss the entire 2010 season with a knee injury.  MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin outside linebacker Mike Taylor will undergo a second surgery on his right knee and will miss at least the opener against UNLV.

GOLF SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Hunter Haas won for the first time in four years, shooting a 7-under 65 Sunday to take the Nationwide Tour’s Price Cutter Charity Championship.  CHARLOTTE — Danielle Kang’s 4-foot putt on the next-to-last hole in the U.S. Women’s Amateur gave her a 2-and-1 victory against Jessica Korda.

TENNIS MASON, Ohio — Seventh-ranked Kim Clijsters overcame a rain delay and three match points to rally for a 2-6, 7-6 (7-4), 6-2 victory over No. 15 Maria Sharapova in the championship match of the Cincinnati Womens’ Open. Clijsters fought off match points in the ninth game of the second set and go on to win the tournament in her second appearance.  TORONTO — Andy Murray beat Roger Federer 7-5, 7-5 to defend his Rogers Cup title. The 23-year-old from Scotland overcame several rain delays to become the first man to repeat as champion since Andre Agassi in 1995. Federer has recently worked with a coach, American Paul Annacone, and declared he would “love to win another 10 Wimbledons, another five French Opens, an Olympic gold in London, a Davis Cup and whatever — you name it.”

Slowey tosses 7 no-hit innings Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Kevin Slowey held Oakland without a hit for seven innings before reliever Jon Rauch gave up the no-hit bid in the eighth as the Twins finished their fifth series sweep with a 4-2 win against the A’s. Slowey (11-5) combined with Jon Rauch, Jesse Crain and Matt Capps to limit Oakland to three hits, while Jason Kubel drove in the first run for Minnesota and Jim Thome homered for a team that will open a key AL Central series against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. The Twins (68-50) also moved 18 games over .500, their best record in nearly two years. Royals 1, Yankees 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bryan Bullington, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2002, threw eight crisp innings for his first major league win on Sunday. Bullington (1-2) allowed two hits, walked one and struck out five to outpitch A.J. Burnett (9-10), who yielded four hits and one run in eight innings. Joakim Soria finished the two-hitter, extending his club record with his 26th consecutive save. Alex Rodriguez, who homered in his final three at-bats Saturday night, slammed a Bullington pitch to deep center leading off the second inning, driving Gregor Blanco almost to the wall. But A-Rod went down quietly the rest of the way. Rays 3, Orioles 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jeremy Hellickson threw six sharp innings to become the first Tampa Bay pitcher to win his first three major league starts. Hellickson (3-0) allowed one run and three hits, and has given up three runs and nine hits over 20 innings in the majors. Carl Crawford homered and drove in two runs to support him. Jake Fox went deep for the Orioles, who were trying to win four consecutive series for the first time since August 3-15, 2004. Blue Jays 4, Angels 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ricky Romero pitched seven solid innings one day after signing a multiyear contract extension, and Adam Lind homered to lead the Blue Jays. Rangers 7, Red Sox 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — C.J. Wilson dominated into the eighth inning and the AL Westleading Rangers used small ball to go ahead before Michael Young’s big hit against Boston. Young hit a three-run homer in the seventh off Manny Delcarmen to make it 5-0. Wilson (11-5) limited the Red Sox to one run and four hits while striking out eight with one walk. The left-hander exited after throwing 75 of his 113 pitches for strikes on a steamy day. Tigers 13, White Sox 8 CHICAGO — Johnny Damon hit a goahead, two-run triple in the eighth inning, Jhonny Peralta homered twice and the Tigers rallied to beat the White Sox. Indians 9, Mariners 1 CLEVELAND — Travis Hafner came off the disabled list to hit a grand slam, Michael Brantley drove in three runs and the Indians scored seven times in the seventh inning. Hafner connected off Seattle ace Felix Hernandez (8-10) after a two-out error by second baseman Chone Figgins opened the door for Cleveland’s seven-run seventh inning. National League SAN FRANCISCO — Yorvit Torrealba homered and Miguel Tejada hit a two-run single to back Wade LeBlanc, and the first-place San Diego Padres took a key series from the San Francisco Giants with an 8-2 victory Sunday. Tim Lincecum (11-7) has the first losing streak of three straight starts in his career. hits in seven innings. Cubs 9, Cardinals 7 ST. LOUIS— Derrek Lee homered his first two at-bats, helping Chicago pummel Kyle Lohse and knock St. Louis out of first place in the NL Central. St. Louis slugger Albert Pujols became the first player to hit 30 homers in his first 10 seasons when he belted a drive to straightaway center in the first. Reds 2, Marlins 0 CINCINNATI — Miguel Cairo hit a tworun homer and Homer Bailey filled in admirably for the suspended Johnny Cueto, throwing six impressive innings to help Cincinnati complete the three-game sweep. Braves 13, Dodgers 1 ATLANTA — Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBIs to lead Atlanta to the big win. Alex Gonzalez also drove in four runs for the Braves, who improved the majors’ best home record to 41-16. Jair Jurrjens (5-4) gave up one run in seven stellar innings. Phillies 3, Mets 1 NEW YORK — Kyle Kendrick toyed with New York’s sputtering offense into the seventh inning. Jimmy Rollins stole two bases and Shane Victorino swiped another to help manufacture two-out runs for the banged-up Phillies. Jayson Werth tripled and reached base three times as Philadelphia won the final two games of the three-game series. Rockies 6, Brewers 5 DENVER — Troy Tulowitzki rescued Colorado with a game-ending RBI single after Milwaukee tied it with two unearned runs in the ninth. Center fielder Dexter Fowler, a defensive replacement in the eighth, initially kept the Brewers at bay when he leaped to rob Chris Dickerson of a homer leading off the ninth against Huston Street. Nationals 5, Diamondbacks 3 WASHINGTON — Ian Desmond hit a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning, sending the Nationals to the victory. Stephen Strasburg departed after five innings with the game tied at 3. Astros 8, Pirates 2 HOUSTON — Pinch-hitter Pedro Feliz hit a two-run double in Houston’s four-run sixth inning and the Astros extended Pittsburgh’s skid to seven games.

Will multiple sclerosis respond to herbals? Dear Dr. Gott: Please give me information on multiple sclerosis. Do you recommend any holistic or natural supplements that are helpful in treating the condition? My 41-yearold daughterin-law has just been diagnosed with it. Thank you. DR. PETER Your column is very inGOTT formative. Dear Reader: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that occurs when the body’s immune system destroys the protective sheath covering the nerves. This, in turn, interferes with signals between the brain and the remainder of the body, resulting in nerve deterioration. Symptoms vary from person to person but can include an inability to speak or walk, dizziness, tremor, unsteady gait, double or blurred vision, weakness on one side of the body at a time or on the bottom half of the body. Increases in body temperature can worsen symptoms. The disorder can affect anyone at any age but commonly begins between the ages of 20 and 40, with Caucasians at the top of the list. Women are more likely to develop MS than are men. Heredity plays an important role except in the case of identical twins. Should one twin be diagnosed with MS, the second has only a 25 percent to 30 percent chance of developing it. People also appear more susceptible if they have other autoimmune dis-

Herbal remedies are a long shot but could include omega-3 fatty acids, such as is found in freshwater salmon. orders, such as type 1 diabetes, a thyroid disorder or inflammatory bowel disease. Diagnosis can be difficult because other disorders with similar symptoms must be ruled out first. A spinal tap, MRI or electrical testing might be considered. A spinal tap can show abnormal levels of white blood cells or proteins. The MRI can detect lesions of myelin loss caused by MS. Electrical testing can trigger the brain to respond to outside stimuli. An MRI may not provide proof-positive results, however, because the lesions detected could be caused by other conditions, including lupus and Lyme disease. While there is no cure, there are medications, such as corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and glatiramer, which protects the myelin (the fatty substance that covers nerve fibers) and prevents it from being attacked. Another procedure patients might consider is interferons (proteins that protect against vital infection), which appear to slow the progression of MS. The downside is that interferons can cause liver damage. Then there’s physical therapy, obtaining sufficient rest, avoiding extreme heat, and

eating properly. Because mental stress can accompany MS, counseling and support groups are endorsed. Herbal remedies are a long shot but could include omega-3 fatty acids, such as is found in freshwater salmon, and bromelain, a substance extracted from pineapple that is thought to control pain and inflammation. Before trying either of these remedies, I would recommend your relative speak with her physician to obtain his or her opinion. Your daughter-in-law should be under the care of a specialist who can guide her through this ordeal. Many people do not require any treatment in the early stages, while others will fare better with a more aggressive approach.

Monday, Aug. 16 Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Be careful about what you pretend to know. Someone could ask for an explanation on that very subject and place you in an extremely embarrassing spot not easily gotten out of. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — In an effort to be kind, you might make a loan to a person who is an extremely poor credit risk, known for not paying his/her bills. Don’t be the underwriter of an unworthy person. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you are exposed to someone who talks louder and longer than anybody else, remember that it doesn’t mean this person’s judgment is better than yours. Stand your ground if you think you’re right. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When you do little and expect a lot, disappointment is more than likely to be the end result. What you receive will be commensurate to the service you render or the work you perform. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You truly enjoy mingling with people from all walks of life, but now you’re likely to be more comfortable in the company of close friends. Avoid crowded gatherings if you can. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — When meeting some friends or business acquaintances, it’s best to be meticulous regarding who is included. Inviting someone who doesn’t easily fit in with the others will make everyone feel uncomfortable. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If you’re too self-involved, you aren’t likely to be attuned to your listeners. Take care not to gore a sacred cow or dominate conversation with topics that only appeal to you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There’s a good chance you could snatch defeat form the jaws of success if you’re not careful. Be on guard against inclinations to oversell or turn a good deal into a bummer. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Even though there is nothing wrong with your judgment, you might think the opposite. As a result, you’re likely to let others who can’t even think for themselves reason things out for you. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you accidentally blurt out something that is better left unsaid, don’t call attention to your blunder by trying to clarify your comments. Chances are, you’ll only make things worse. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Don’t ignore someone who likes you and has been nice to you in order to fawn over a new acquaintance who hasn’t yet given his/her friendship. Hurt feelings will kill the good thing you had going. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — If you’re a bit lackadaisical about things, both your motivation and initiative could break down rather easily for you at this time. Needless to say, it isn’t likely that you’ll achieve any of your objectives. United FeatUre Syndicate inc.

The thought would be elusive BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

This deal would have fit into last week’s columns with no questions asked. It would be misplayed by many declarers because they would not even think of the winning line. You are in six spades. West leads the heart queen. East takes dummy’s king with his ace and shifts to the club king. How would you continue? After you opened with a weak two in spades, North responded two notrump, an artificial inquiry typically used when responder has game-invitational values in opener’s suit. Your rebid of three diamonds showed a maximum opening bid with a

Zsa Zsa Gabor in serious condition LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor’s publicist says the 93-year-old actress is in extremely serious condition after having two blood clots removed at a Los Angeles hospital. Publicist John Blanchette said Sunday that he had spoken with Gabor’s husband, Frederic Von Anhalt, who had told him of her condition. Blanchette described the situation as “very sad.” Gabor was hospitalized Friday afternoon.

“feature” in diamonds. This would usually be the diamond ace or king, but could be the queen in a pinch. Now North, a founding member of the Real Bridge Players Don’t Need Blackwood Club, jumped straight

to six spades. (He knew you would never open two spades with a jack-high suit and could “see” six spades, five diamonds and one club.) Many would draw four rounds of trump, cash the diamond king, play a second diamond and ... go down. If diamonds are 3-3 or 42, there are no problems. But just in case East is long in the suit, run all of your trumps, discarding clubs from the dummy. You come down to five cards. Dummy has only diamonds and you have two diamonds and three clubs. Which five cards does East keep? He is squeezed, unable to hold five diamonds and the club queen. Yes, if West leads his diamond at trick one, the play is tougher. The curious may work out how South can survive.
