Emotions run high as Lambert enters plea BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

After John Curtis Lambert pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murders of Larry Thomas “Rudy” Andrews Jr. and Mickey Wayne Jordan, Andrews’ sister yelled out a message to him. “You’re gonna burn in hell, John,” Tonya Angell said as he was led out of court. Lambert, of China Grove, pleaded not guilty to both murders Monday in Rowan Superior Court. Lambert could face the death penalty if he’s found guilty. Lambert, in orange and wearing shackles around his feet and handcuffs around his wrists, looked around the courtroom with a blank expression on his face before he was called by Judge John Holshouser. In the courtroom were family mem-

bers of Andrews and Jordan. Gasps and cries were heard as Lambert entered his plea. Andrews’ stepmother, Judy Andrews, put her hand around Angell as she cried. Lambert is being represented by Salisbury attorney James Davis. The June 27 shooting, police say, followed a dispute in the local bar Benchwarmers over a pool table. Police said Lambert was thrown out of the bar and waited two hours, eventually pulling up beside Jordan’s vehicle on East Innes Street and opening fire. Investigators say Jordan, 29, was Lambert’s target in the shooting. Andrews, the passenger in Jordan’s vehicle, was pronounced dead on the scene. Jordan survived multiple gunshot wounds for nine days until he died on July 7. A second passenger in the back seat was not injured.

Board OKs putting $12M bond on ballot

— WALK ACROSS ROWAN —

THE JOURNEY CONTINUES

BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved placing a $12 million bond referendum on the November ballot Monday. That amount is $6 million less than the total proposed by Rowan-Cabarrus Community College to pay for capital improvements to its North campus. With the decreased bond amount, the estimated property tax increase over 15 years would drop from 2 cents per $100 assessed value to 1.25 cents, said County Manager Gary Page. The original $18 million worth of requested improvements included $2.4 million for campus accessibility and safety improvements; $5.5 million for campus-wide additions and renovations, including construction of a two-story addition to the health science building; $2.3 million for relocation, expansion and improvement of the fire training grounds; and $7.8 million for construction of a general-purpose classroom building. Several local residents spoke during the public comment period in support of the bond referendum.

Woman pleads guilty to vehicular manslaughter charges B Y S HELLEY S MITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury woman pleaded guilty in Rowan Superior Court Monday to vehicular manslaughter charges. Davina Mocha Miller was initially charged with first-degree murder in the Sept. 1, 2008, death of Sharmay Denise Perry. Rowan County District Attorney Bill Kenerly said Miller’s plea bargain reflected the facts of what happened the night Perry was killed, stating that it was in fact not murder, but manslaughter. Superior Court Judge John

Holshouser sentenced Miller to 95 to 123 months in prison — 7 years and 11 months to 10 years and three months. The 2008 charge came after Miller hit and ran over Perry with a 2001 Toyota Camry. Perry and Miller had been at a party together and, as they were leaving in Miller’s car, the two got into an argument.

dence in a mobile home park on East Lafayette Street, and Perry got out of the car, yelling. Perry was standing about 10 feet away when Miller drove the car forward and hit her. The car stopped on top of the woman. A neighbor, Calvin Brotherton, told police Miller tried to put her car in reverse, but it was stuck on top of Perry. Brotherton said he ran back inside to grab his cell phone and carried it outside, where Miller grabbed it out of his hands. “She took my cell phone and went somewhere,” he told a Salisbury Post reporter in 2008. “I Robert D. Cowan Sr. Dollie Seaford Doby William C. Owens Calvin J. Daniels

don’t know where she was for at least 20 to 30 minutes, and the cops finally saw her and I got my phone back.” Once police returned his phone, Brotherton said, he checked to see if Miller had called 911, but the number did not come up on his list of outgoing calls. He said the scene that night was “something like you would see in a movie. “I opened my front door, and it was like ‘This is unbelievable.’ ” Mark Wilhelm, Salisbury’s chief of police at the time, said Perry most likely died instantly.

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College could see record-breaking enrollment this fall. Gaye McConnell, vice president of student services, said the student count is already up from 6,362 to 6,571 from last year at this time and is expected to climb to more than 7,200 by the time registration ends today. “It’s a very fluid number right now,” she said Monday, RCCC’s first day of class. “We are certainly not done, we expect to add additional students.” McConnell said the average growth between 2006 and 2008 was 6 percent each year. If growth continues at that rate, the student population will top out at 7,480 this fall, surpassing the previous high of about 7,200 students. “We’ve been growing at an unbelievable rate,” McConnell said. Jeff Lowrance, director of college relations, said RCCC was the 10th largest community college in the state several years ago. “We’re now the seventh largest and the second-fastest growing among the 58 schools,” he said. Lowrance said the economy continues to be a contributing factor in the rising enrollment numbers. “Right now, most of our programs are doing very well simply because we have so many folks who have returned to school,” he said. • • •

RCCC FROM 1a Fifty-five-year-old Steve Garver stepped onto RCCC’s campus for the first time Monday feeling “real nervous.” “I’m especially nervous after working the same job for almost 33 years,” he said. Garver, who was laid off from his job with Hersey Meters in Cleveland, said he’ll be taking business classes this fall. “I’ve got 14 years’ experience as a buyer but no degree and everybody wants a degree to go with the experience,” he said. He was excited to have a class in the new Building 400 on the North Campus, which opened at the end of June. “It’s good being part of history,” Garver said. • • • Toyia Griffin is attending cosmetology school at RCCC after spending time at home raising her daughter. “I just want to do something different and get out of the house,” she said. “It’s something I like to do and I know I’ll be focused on it to make sure I get my certificate so I can do some hair.” Griffin has already completed a year at RCCC and expects to wrap up her general

course requirements this fall. • • • Kaleigh Lefebvre, 21, opted to attend Rowan-Cabarrus because of the radiography program and its close proximity to her China Grove home. “I was at Mitchell Community College and they don’t offer radiography so I came here,” she said. “Plus, it’s a 10minute drive compared to 45 minutes.” Lefebvre said she went to Appalachian State for a semester, but opted to leave in favor of a smaller school setting. “I don’t feel comfortable at larger schools,” she said. She also likes the idea of being able to earn a degree in two years versus four. “Personally, I’m just ready to start working,” Lefebvre said. • • • Shekinah Dillard, 23, is heading to college for the first time this fall. “I just want to get my basic classes out of the way and hopefully I’ll come to a decision to study massage therapy or something else,” she said. Dillard said her reason for enrolling at Rowan-Cabarrus is simple. “I want a better job and a better future,” she said. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683

I do believe this needs to be on ballot, because the citizens need to be listened to.” When Hall did not answer right away, Commissioner Chad Mitchell said he was going to suggest a figure of $10 million, but he would support Barber’s number as well. “This will gauge the public’s willingness to fund this, and it puts us within striking distance for the new classroom,” Mitchell said, adding that other sources of funding might be found. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain said he was willing to support the full $18 million and let the public decide, but Hall would only agree to amend her motion to $12 million. Commissioner Carl Ford said he would not vote to increase property taxes, whether that increase is 1.25 cents or 2 cents.

Ray Paradowski, chair of the RCCC Board of Trustees, said he understood that the county couldn’t provide the money, so a bond referendum is needed. “This sounds like a lot of money, but the investment amounts to a cup of coffee or Cheerwine a month per Rowan County household,” Paradowski said. He said a lack of classroom space is keeping the college from expanding its current programs or adding new ones. Trustee Chip Short said those new courses and programs are needed for job training, especially in the medical field. “Lately, forecasts indicate much of the job growth in the next 5-10 years will occur in the allied health fields,” Paradowski said. “RowanCabarrus Community College currently offers three health programs — nursing, radiography and dental assisting — and these programs are filled to capacity.” Tina Williams, a full-time student at RCCC, said the school held a disability awareness program last October to show students what

omy but said the college has pressing needs. Beyond immediate safety and accessibility concerns, more space is needed to keep pace with RCCC’s growing enrollment, which has increased 40 percent over the last two years. “We think this is a wise investment,” Spalding said. “There is a positive return for money that is spent on a community college.” She said the college wanted to look to the future when presenting a bond referendum to avoid stunting its own growth. Commissioner Tina Hall said that she believes all of the listed expenses are justified, but she isn’t sure if county voters will want to pay for them. “There’s a sticker shock kind of feel to it,” Hall said. “Right now, $18 million in this economy just comes across as reaching a little higher than we’re willing to go.” The commissioners then tried to settle on a less shocking number. Hall made a motion to approve a bond referendum of $7.1 million, based on the college’s original budget request to the county. Commissioner Jon Barber asked Hall if she would

it was like to traverse the campus in a wheelchair. “For a wheelchair-bound person to make it around campus, they would have to go up one building through the only elevator on campus, across a breezeway that is deteriorating at a very fast rate and through another building, just to go to a building next door to the original one,” Williams said. “Every student of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College should have the opportunity and be afforded the right to go to class without having to go through all these obstacles just to get an education.” Dawn Evans, the current Student Government Association president at RCCC, said she is proud to attend the college but is disheartened by its condition. “I’d like to continue in a safe facility where the ceiling not falling in, the roofs are not leaking and the walkways are safe for people,” Evans said. Another RCCC student, Elana Miles, said her fellow students support placing the bond referendum on the ballot. When RCCC president Dr. Carol Spalding presented the college’s request, she acknowledged that it was poorly timed in a down econ-

Student reaction to RCCC tobacco-free policy mixed BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

If Rowan-Cabarrus Community College students didn’t know about the college’s new tobacco-free policy, they got the message during the first day of class Monday. Signs and banners with the slogan “Breathe easy we are

tobacco free,” covered campus walls and walkways, and the Student Government Association set up tents to share information and collect feedback. The policy, which took effect Aug. 1, prohibits smoking and the use of tobacco products on all RCCC campuses. “I like it,” student John El-

Two arrested on drug charges Two Florida men are in custody after Kannapolis police found 780 prescription narcotics Friday. The joint investigation between the narcotics units of the Kannapolis Police Department, Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office led authorities to the suspects, as well NORRIS as the 780 pills — a mixture of Roxicodone and Oxycodone, opiate derivatives. J a m o n Lamar Norris and Garvery Francois were arrested and GARVERY charged with two counts each of trafficking opium. They both received a $250,000 secured bond and were placed in the Cabarrus County Detention Center. “This is a classic example of what can be accomplished when multiple agencies communicate and work together,” Kannapolis Chief of Police Woody Chavis said. “Our drug traffickers are multi-jurisdictional and our narcotics units communicate regularly and share information.”

Police: Man assaulted officer A Salisbury man was arrested after police say he struck a Salisbury Police Officer in the leg. Michael Ray Trapp, 53, of 114 Earnhardt Ave., was charged Friday with resisting or delaying arrest, assault on a government official and TRAPP possession of a controlled substance. He was given a $1,500 secured bond. According to Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins, Officer C.S. Hamm approached an intoxicated Trapp sitting in the parking lot of Kmart. When Hamm attempted to get Trapp to his feet, Collins said Trapp began hitting Hamm’s leg. Hamm could not gain control of Trapp and pepper sprayed him. Trapp continued to fight until other officers arrived, getting Trapp into handcuffs. Trapp was treated for pepper spray exposure at Rowan Regional Medical Center and taken to the Rowan County jail.

Firefighter sustains injury while battling blaze BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury firefighter suffered minor burns to his knees after falling through the kitchen floor of a Salisbury house that burned Monday. The fire started in the home of Stephen Wagner, 225 Kelly Drive, around 1 p.m. Firefighters arrived at the scene to find half of the three-bedroom mobile home on fire. The injured man, the first firefighter to go in the house, was treated at the scene. His name was not available. According to Wagner, the fire started in the kitchen. He was frying chicken on the stove and stepped away to check on his laundry. “I slid the door open and it was black,” Wagner said of his smoke-filled home. “All I could see was a small glimpse of light from the fire. I made an immediate left out the front door.” Wagner said he grabbed the garden hose and attempted to spray water on the fire through an open kitchen window. “But the window screen diffused the water,” he said. “It did no good.” The thing Wagner was most worried about was finding his wallet in the debris, he said. “I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t find it,” he said. Salisbury firefighter and commander of the fire response, Cory Orbison, (also chief of South Salisbury Fire Department), said everything went well with what the responders had to work with. “The house was sitting back from the road with limbs over-

A ﬁreﬁghter is treated for injuries on the scene. hanging,” Orbison said, noting that a light on a Locke Fire Department truck broke off because of the limbs. “It makes it tough.” Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said additional firefighters responded to the fire because of the high temperatures. Some were treated for heat exhaustion. “I don’t think there’s any real training that a fireman can do to stay cool in 90-degree weather and high humidity,” Parnell said. Because of the high temperatures, he said, firefighters cycle their shifts more often. Typically, firefighters fight fires without breaks for 30 to 40 minutes, but Monday, he said, firefighters were being rotated every 10 minutes. “Shorter work requires more firefighters on,” he said. “Sometimes you have to double the number of personnel resources on the team because you have to

cycle out more often. “We’re very fortunate here because we have Rowan Rescue and Rowan County EMS to help.” Orbison said 25 to 30 firefighters responded to the fire Monday. Responding were South Salisbury, Salisbury, Locke, Bostian Heights, Faith and Spencer fire departments, Rowan County EMS and Rowan Rescue. Rowan Rescue helped check vital signs for tired firefighters and treat minor burns. The department also shuttled air bottles to and from the fire, refilling eight to 10 bottles full of oxygen for the firefighters. Wagner, who has insurance, hopes his life can get back to normal soon. “I’ve never been through this,” he said. Wagner has lived on Kelly Drive since 1990, and owns 10 acres.

Shoppers and diners, rejoice. After 22 crashes and more complaints than anyone would care to count, the snarled intersection between Walmart and Cracker Barrel will have a traffic signal by week’s end. Workers are installing a signal at the corner of Arlington Street and Freeland Drive, where drivers wait long periods to turn left and police have responded to 22 accidents since August 2008, Lt. Melonie Thompson said. “There is a great need for some traffic direction,” Thompson said. Walmart manager Gary Sixkiller said he was thrilled to see workers installing the poles. “This is great,” Sixkiller said. “That is a highly congested area and it would be very beneficial not just for Walmart but for all the surrounding customers and the shopping center.” Developers of the Salisbury Shopping Center across from Walmart — home of Murphy’s Express gas, Papa John’s Pizza and GARY SIXKILLER others — will pay Walmart manager for half of the $80,000 traffic signal, said Wendy Brindle, a traffic engineer with the city of Salisbury. The city will pay the balance. City Council in September 2006 approved Spectra Group’s plan for the shopping center, which includes space for 13 businesses and three outparcels. One outparcel remains vacant. At the time, a traffic study determined the intersection would need a signal at buildout, Brindle said. Council granted approval with that stipulation. Now, the intersection meets two of nine national standards for a traffic signal — minimum volume and accidents. Initially, bags will cover the traffic lights. They will flash for a few days before signalling red, yellow and green. While the city doesn’t count complaints about intersections, many motorists have requested a traffic signal at this intersection, said Dan Mikkelson, city engineer. “It rose to the top in requests,” he said. Contact reporter Emily Ford at 704-7974264.

“This is great. “That is a highly congested area and it would be very beneficial not just for Walmart but for all the surrounding customers and the shopping center.”

Cabarrus votes to expand animal protection committee First step in moving toward “no-kill” shelter B Y H UGH F ISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD – The signs around the Cabarrus Board of Commissioners chambers Monday night showed the audience’s views. “Stop the killing!” read one. Another, “End the Gassing Now.” Their hopes are one step closer to being realized. Commissioners voted unanimously to add five new members to the county’s Animal Protection and

Preservation Advisory Committee. The expanded committee, which Commissioner Bob Carruth said has met infrequently and has mainly dealt with spay and neuter programs, will begin to study no-kill shelter programs. Currently, some 80 percent of animals brought in to Cabarrus’ animal shelter are put to sleep in a gas chamber. The unanimous vote to expand the committee and study alternatives was met with applause. And after the session, local resident Jeff Daniels said this was the first step in changing Cabarrus County’s image.

Daniels became involved in animal activism after his pit bull, Bella, was shot in May after getting loose. Cabarrus County Animal Control Officer Sean Austin later stated in an online posting that Bella was not aggressive, and he shot the dog because it was taking too long to catch her. Austin was cleared of wrongdoing in the incident. But the shooting of Bella sparked a growing public outcry against Animal Control policies and practices residents say are inhumane and unfair. Earlier in the meeting, during

public comments, Tamara Gaspar of Concord told commissioners how Cabarrus Animal Control had failed her. After her cat got out of the house three months ago, a neighbor found it and handed it to an Animal Control officer. When Gaspar called to find out what had happened, she said, she was repeatedly told her cat wasn’t there. But Gaspar said she wasn’t allowed to go into the shelter to look for her. Later, she said, it was deter-

Anthony 'Lee' McCarty SALISBURY — Anthony “Lee” McCarty, age 39, died Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2010, at Rowan Regional Medical Center, Salisbury, after many years of declining health.

SALISBURY — William Crawford Owens, 55, of Salisbury, went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, Aug. 15, 2010, at his residence surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Born July 12, 1955, in Cabarrus County, he was the son of the late James Louie Owens, Sr. and Margaret Gwendolyn Thomas Owens. Mr. Owens was a 1974 graduate of South Rowan High School. He was employed by Charlotte Pipe and Foundry in Charlotte as an IT specialist for 12 years, prior to his illness. William was a member of World Hope Worship Center for many years, serving on the church council, with children's ministry and served in many other ministries in local communities and foreign missions. Mr. Owens was a loving husband, dad, brother and friend. He was most of all an example of what a Christian man should be to all he came in contact with, displaying his love for his Savior Jesus Christ, and living that same life each day. He had a passion for helping others with a selfless attitude, always putting others first. William loved spending time with family and friends at church, the beach, the mountains, fishing and camping. He was an avid runner and loved the run over the Charleston Bridge. Those left to cherish his memories are his loving wife, Ginger Lea Owens; son Matthew Owens (fiancee Mara Matthews); stepson Jeremy Hill (Jaquelyn) of Dallas, Texas; brothers James Louie Owens, Jr., of Gwinn, Mich., Michael Thomas Owens of Landis; sister Melissa Sue Sutton (Richie) of China Grove; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The building will house the county Board of Elections. After deciding to locate the Board of Elections there, commissioners had debated whether to buy or lease the structure. Commissioner Bob Carruth said it would be better to buy now, seeing as funds are available. He said the building

TOBACCO FROM 3a Shalonda Hopkins said she’s indifferent about the tobacco ban. “It doesnt’ matter to me because I don’t smoke,” she said. Hopkins did say she’s relieved that she won’t have to dodge clouds of smoke or watch out for groups of smokers tossing their cigarette butts on the ground. Although some students feel the policy is a breath of fresh air, others feel it stifles their freedom to light up. Adinah Holmes said she doesn’t mind walking off campus to smoke now. “I’m not upset yet because it’s warm,” she said. “Ask me again when it’s cold or raining.” Holmes spent one of her breaks between classes Monday smoking with Sandra Cureton and Jessica Morgan along the school’s access road that overlooks Interstate 85. “It’s kind of dangerous,” Morgan said. “Cars don’t abide by the speed limit, they’re flying through here. “We need a section set up for just smokers, a section that is covered so we don’t burn up when it’s hot, freeze when it’s cold or get wet.” Cureton said smokers congregating off campus could project a poor image to visitors. “I think it’s going to look bad when you see people standing along the guard rail,” she said. Gene Edens said he noticed a group of people smoking along the access road and feared for their safety. “Sometimes people don’t pay attention to where they’re going,” he said. “I think it’s going to end up being dangerous.” Edens is not a smoker, but doesn’t see the harm in others smoking. “As long as they’re outside I don’t see a problem with it,” he said. “I think asking them to go completely off campus is unreasonable.”

Holmes said despite the hassle of leaving campus, she plans to honor the policy. “I’m going to do my best to obey the rule,” she said. 



A Celebrate Clean Air event held by the SGA Monday at all three campus locations gauged student reaction to theˆ ban. Students were asked to take a four-question survey in exchange for a goodie bag filled with gum, mints and snacks. “We’re trying to hand out suggestions of cessation items that might make it eas-

ier to get through class,” Lipscomb said. Lipscomb said more than 300 students on the North Campus participated in the survey, which was aimed at finding out if people were aware of the policy. “Right now we want to see if students knew about it, because if they don’t know, it’s hard to comply,” she said. Results of the survey were not available Monday. When classes get under way, SGA will conduct another survey about compliance. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

Despite concerns about venturing off campus to light up, students still abided by the new policy Monday. “I’m really impressed with the level of compliance,” said Natasha Lipscomb, director of student life. Brian Ehlers, a security officer at the North Campus, said part of his job is keeping an eye out for violators. “I’ve been instructed to tell them about the ban and we have cards we pass out that have the policy on the back,” he said. “Luckily, everybody has been pretty cooperative so far.”

Privette said likewise. “Right across the street we have a brand new building with ample room for the Board of Elections,” he said. • The board voted unanimously to authorize an application for approval of a school bond financing agreement for Cabarrus County and Kannapolis City schools.

In the spring of 2001 Ernest Curtis donated a substantial amount to the Salisbury Civitan Club Charitable Foundation, with the idea that it should be used each year to honor an outstanding citizen of some sort. The many heroic acts in the wake of the 9/11/2001 terrorist attacks prompted the club to recognize local heroes and the Ernest Curtis Hero Award was born. The Civitan Club of Salisbury is seeking to honor a recipient of the 9th Annual Ernest Curtis Hero Award. Nominations for an individual going above and beyond the call of duty without thought of recognition or reward should be made in writing to Len Clark, The Civitan Club of Salisbury, P.O.

Regina Crowell suggested the use of online resources such as Facebook to help place unwanted pets with families who want to adopt. “There are so many avenues to be taken, if only the county will help,” Crowell said. She compared the gas chambers used at the animal shelter to those used in the Holocaust. “I am a responsible pet parent,” Crowell said. But, she said, she’s unsure that her pets would be safe with Cabarrus Animal Control. Not everyone who spoke shared her concern.

Mynatt called it “an example of the community bringing something forward that they’re very concerned about and having it addressed.” “But it’s not something that’s going to be done in one week,” Mynatt said, “so give this committee a little time.” Chairman Jay White asked Carruth and the committee to begin reviewing other successful no-kill programs, and to learn from those that had difficulties. “It needs to be done right,” White said.

It was unclear whether the policy of not allowing residents to go into the rest of the animal shelter had changed. Carruth, who represents commissioners on the advisory committee, said it will take time to plan the county’s approach. “We’ve got go make sure we plan this the right way ... so that we have a long-term sustainable effort,” Carruth said. “Killing animals is not a method of animal control, and I believe we’re making a statement tonight by saying that.” New members of the com-

Kannapolis Rotary hosts charity golf tourney, unveils disaster response unit KANNAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Monday saw local Rotarians and community members giving back to their neighbors The Kannapolis Rotary Club held its annual charity golf tournament at The Club at Irish Creek, raising some $7,000. Kannapolis Rotary President Tom Kincaid said it would be a few weeks before the total donations were tabulated. He said he was pleased

with the turnout and the level of giving. $2,000 of the proceeds will go to scholarships for A.L. Brown High School graduates. The remainder will be split between Cooperative Christian Ministries and Rowan Helping Ministries. The annual event has become a chance for friends to gather and share fellowship â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just Rotarians, but many others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about the camasaid Charlie raderie,â&#x20AC;? Barham of FNO Racecars.

Although heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a Rotary member, this was his second golf tournament. Monday morning also marked the unveiling of a project two years in the making. The Kannapolis Rotary Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Medical Response Unit was first envisioned after Kincaid and local resident Fred Wally visited Mississippi in 2006 on a mission trip. The project was done as a partnership between the Kannapolis Rotary Club and the Presbytery of Charlotte.

The 53-foot trailer contains examination rooms and specialized medical equipment, including a table for OB/GYN exams. The EMRU can be transported to the scene of a disaster and used to help Rotarians assist in relief operations. Proceeds from recent golf tournaments have gone to help refurbish and outfit the trailer, Kincaid said. Donors whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen the trailer when it was first acquired two years ago were amazed at the transforma-

North Carolina was the last state on the East Coast to start a lottery. Lottery sales have grown markedly in the last two to three years as new games have come online and Shaheen pushed a change to state law so a greater percentage of revenues could go to prize winnings. Shaheen also was president of a multistate lottery group that helped expand the Powerball and Mega Millions games to other states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the school children and the taxpayers of this state, I thank Tom and wish him well in his new endeavor,â&#x20AC;? commission chairman Bob Farris said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team he built and the integrity he instilled will live on in the organization.â&#x20AC;? Shaheen said the lottery faces challenges because its advertising budget is limited to 1 percent of annual gross revenues and its 225 employees have been limited in pay raises by what other rankand-file state employees receive. The flat salaries have led some workers to leave, he said. But Shaheen, who will continue to live in North Carolina with his new job, said these and other challenges didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cause his departure.

RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Looking for a new pursuit after taking the state lottery from zero to $1.4 billion, the first and only executive director of the North Carolina Education Lottery said Monday heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving to take a job in the gaming industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private sector. Tom Shaheen, who arrived in November 2005, will become a vice president for Linq3, a New York-based startup company thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creating ways to expand automated lottery sales machines, such as through ATMs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new challenge and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a challenge-type of person,â&#x20AC;? Shaheen, 57, said in an interview. Shaheen was hired from the New Mexico lottery and helped organize the North Carolina lottery from scratch before the first tickets were sold in March 2006. Today, a matured North Carolina lottery has more than 6,200 retailers that generated $1.4 billion in ticket sales last year from numbers games and scratch-offs and almost $420 million for education initiatives. Shaheen, who has worked in state lotteries for more than 22 years, called the North Carolina job â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the greatest experiences of my life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of everything about this organization,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen that the money is being used to help enhance education in the state.â&#x20AC;? Alice Garland, the lotteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputy executive director for legislative and corporate communications, began her role Monday as acting executive director. Shaheen said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remain an adviser until his last day Sept. 17. The commission will choose his permanent successor. Shaheen came to North Carolina three months after the Legislature narrowly approved the lotteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation, which was secured by thenLt. Gov. Beverly Perdue casting the deciding vote in a tie in the Senate. He also arrived a few weeks after lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings resigned after it was revealed he had been paid for services by a company that wanted to operate the new games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a difficult issue be-

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH (AP) — An Ohio woman drowned while swimming at night at a North Carolina beach. Multiple media outlets reported that 45-year-old Lisa Shea, 45, of Gahanna, Ohio, was in the water at Wrightsville Beach with family members about 8:45 p.m. Sunday when they lost sight of her. Shea was found unresponsive about 10 minutes later. Police and medical personnel were unable to revive her and she was pronounced dead about 9:20 p.m. Fire Chief Frank Smith said lifeguards went off duty at 5 p.m. and beach patrols stopped at 7 p.m. Smith said cautionary yellow flags were flying Sunday because of the National Weather Service’s forecast for moderate rip current risk and choppy surf conditions.

Work at I-40 rockslide will last full year RALEIGH (AP) — Crews will continue working at the site of an Interstate 40 rockslide until about a year after part of a mountainside slid over the freeway. The North Carolina Department of Transportation said Monday that crews expect to complete rock stabilization efforts on Oct. 7. It’s taking longer than initially planned because of heat and geological conditions. The rockslide on Oct. 25 of last year sent boulders the size of mobile homes tumbling onto the roadway and closed I-40 near the Tennessee border for months. Both eastbound lanes are now open. One westbound lane remains closed while crews continue working at the site. Transportation officials plan to open all lanes to traffic for the Labor Day weekend.

FORT BRAGG (AP) — A North Carolina-based paratrooper is being charged with murder after a fatal head-on collision with a fellow soldier who was driving a motorcycle. Fayetteville police said Monday 21-year-old Spc. Jason Gregory Taft has been charged with second-degree murder. The wreck happened early Saturday morning. Police say after Taft lost control of his vehicle, crossed the center line and hit 27-year-old Pfc. Felipe Ramirez head-on. Investigators have blamed speed and alcohol for the crash. Taft was being held in the Cumberland County Jail. The Army said it was unclear whether he has an attorney. Taft is assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division and had deployed to Iraq in 200809. Ramirez was assigned to the 44th Medical Brigade. Both units are based at Fort Bragg.

Partners said Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem will serve as a lead health care facility.

Sixteen-year-old Christopher Ledwell said he was unable to get his sister’s door open and tried get to some water from the kitchen but the water pressure was low. He said family members were unable to get the girl’s window open. Durham Deputy Fire Chief Dan Curia said it took 20 minutes to put out the fire. The cause is under investigation.

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Seven Special Forces soldiers were awarded the Silver Star on Monday at Fort Bragg for risking their own lives to save others in Afghanistan. The medal for valor is the Army’s third highest decoration. The seven soldiers are from the 7th Special Forces Group, which is trained to deploy to Latin America but in recent years has frequently deployed to Afghanistan. Staff Sgt. Daniel J. Gould and Staff Sgt. Mario Pinilla were on patrol in August 2008 when some Afghan villagers told them an ambush was set near a river in the Oruzgan Province. Gould was leading a group of Afghan soldiers when they came across about 20 enemy fighters in an orchard. “The enemy kept saying they could hear us, but couldn’t see us,” Gould said in an interview with the Associated Press earlier this month. “They popped up and there was a whole slew of them. It was mutual shock.” Gould started shooting and called in his position on the radio. Soon, enemy rounds were exploding around him covering him in a cloud of debris and dirt. One bullet hit Gould’s helmet, ripping it off of his head. Another round hit his body armor. “I was pretty much out there hanging,” he said. “We were in a world of hurt.” Pinilla saw that Gould was trapped in the open and could be overrun. Pinilla grabbed his machine gun, sprinted approximately 80 yards into enemy fire and set up his weapon near Gould. The added firepower kept the enemy at bay, Pinilla’s award citation says. But when Pinilla stood to throw a grenade, he was hit in the lower back and upper left thigh. After two other Special Forces teammates arrived, including a medic, Gould kept firing while the medic treated Pinilla’s injuries. Knowing that Pinilla needed to be evacuated, Gould helped the medic drag him to safety under fire until he finally lifted Pinilla onto his shoulders and carried him the final 40 yards to safety. “We’ve all seen movies with guys trying to run up and save their friends and they get killed. That was kind of in the back of my head,” Gould said. One soldier was honored posthumously. During an ambush in May 2008 in western Afghanistan, Sgt. 1st Class David Nunez, 27, of Los Angeles, Calif., kept firing his machine gun despite being wounded. After his vehicle caught fire, Nunez began to discard ammunition and explosives believing that other soldiers were trapped. Nunez was engulfed in flames and succumbed to his injuries. Four others were also honored: • Sgt. 1st Class Jonathan Clouse ran through an ambush at least three times to give medical aid to four critically wounded special operations Marines and an Afghan soldier during a raid in Herat in June 2008. Even when a machine gun round skipped off his body armor, Clouse kept providing aid and eventually helped call in air strikes to break up the attack. • Sgt. 1st Class Antonio Gonzalez exposed himself to heavy enemy fire trying to rescue four Afghan soldiers, one of whom was fatally wounded, during an ambush in June 2008. Gonzalez saw the four were pinned down. Ordering his truck into the kill zone, he ran three times through the crossfire of enemy snipers and machine gunners to rescue the Afghans. During the same ambush, Sgt. 1st Class Mark Roland led his team to a dried creek bed to provide cover fire. Unaware of an enemy position nearby, Roland and his team were attacked from less than 10 feet away. Roland charged the enemy fighters, throwing a grenade into the trench. Later, he led eight Afghan soldiers to safety after they were pinned down. • Master Sgt. Julio Bocanegra’s team was attacked by a force three times its size in August 2008. Both Bocanegra’s truck and an Afghan police truck were caught in the crossfire. Realizing that the policemen were hit, Bocanegra carried the three wounded Afghans to safety. His actions allowed the convoy to move out of the ambush.

Ask Amy: Reader explains why men cheat Men hunt. Yes, many sublimate that urge, but for many of us it helps to keep us young and vibrant, and even somewhat mysterious, which are, in the end, some of the qualities that made us attractive to our spouses in the first place. Your answer to Not True Blue was well put. But in my opinion the poor fellow is going to carry guilt for the rest of his life and his wife will never let him forget “what he did to her.” — Wandering Husband Dear Wandering: Thank you for explaining why men cheat, but your assertion that “it just happens” means you don’t have to understand or justify the choice to cheat. Neat trick. Women cheat, too, of course (the many “happily married” women who cheat on their husbands with you, for instance), and so your “men are hunters” statement makes me wonder what primal tendency cheating women are supposed to be satisfying. If you and your wife don’t want to have a monogamous relationship, then — hey, it’s a free country. But my view is that a guy who is married to a woman who wants to be in a monogamous marriage, and who cheats on her repeatedly with her friends (as “Now True Blue” had done), shouldn’t

also wonder why she doesn’t trust him. Dear Amy: The letter from “Now True Blue,” who cheated on his wife twice, could have been written by my husband 10 years ago. Like Blue’s wife, I was very hurt by the events and would bring it up almost every day. My husband’s response was to acknowledge my feelings and understand how the affair changed our children and me. He understood the hurt and the mistrust he created. He could see the mistrust my daughter now had in men; he dealt with my son’s anger. My husband realized he created the damage and then decided he had to do all he could to fix it. He put us first — both to show us how much he loved us and to lessen the damage of his actions. His response changed our lives. My son has regained his respect for his dad, and my daughter is working through her mistrust of men with my husband’s help. It was not easy. But even with all his hard work, it still may come up once or twice a year and his response is to be understanding. True Blue must put his feelings second and validate his family’s feelings. If his wife realizes he understands

Dear Cindy: When a person’s drinking causes problems in his relationships, he has a “drinking problem,” no matter how much alcohol he consumes.

money in the bank promotes contentment. If you cannot save a great deal of money right now, that’s OK. It’s not the amount you save in the beginning that matters; it’s the fact that you make saving money a regular habit. Ideally, you should save 10 percent of your net income. If you can’t do that right off the bat, start with 5 percent or whatever amount you can, even if it’s only a dollar or two each week. Determine the amount. Then commit to it. Keep putting at least that amount into your account week after week. Quickly you’ll figure out how to make it $3 and then $5, $10 and beyond. Soon you’ll be hooked on saving. Cutting costs without sacrificing your lifestyle or causing some other area of your life to collapse is the way to grow a savings account on your current income. What you need are a set of basic principles that will guide you into thinking in new ways. Like any meaningful change, it has to start with a change of attitude. Con-

sumerism has become a religion that goes against the teachings of just about every other religion, belief system and moral code. Think about what you really believe to see whether your buying decisions are motivated by your values or by a retail sale schedule. Ask yourself before you buy anything: Do I really need it? How often would I use it? Where would I store it? How would this look sitting on the table at a yard sale? How much would it cost to dry-clean (dust, polish, insure, fuel)? Sometimes just stopping to think will prompt you to turn and walk away. No matter how much or how little you have to save right now, develop a saver’s attitude. Our beliefs and attitudes about money have a powerful effect on our behaviors. I’ve watched people with ordinary incomes do extraordinary things simply because they stopped feeling entitled. Instead, they determined that no area of spending was offlimits for serious cuts. They became habitual savers, and that has made all the differ-

Cheapskate: How to develop a saver’s attitude Recently, I asked five friends this question: How do you save money? “Buying things on sale” was the most common answer. “Bringing lunch to work” and “finding the cheapest gas” were other responses. But only one person got it right: “I put it in a safe place.” Bingo! Cutting expenses is the way to spend less so you have money to save, but unless you actually are putting it aside for some future use, MARY you’re not reHUNT ally saving at all. You only are spending less. No matter your situation, whether you are financially comfortable or in debt up to your eyeballs living paycheck to paycheck, you need money in a savings account that has your name on it. Saving money quiets the must-have-everything-now monster that runs us ragged. It calms our fears. Having

Dear Been There: Excellent advice. Thank you. Dear Amy: You wrote that “Fed Up’s” boyfriend has a drinking problem because he is rude when he drinks. To call two or three drinks a “drinking problem” trivializes real drinking problems!

Dear Amy: I read with some amusement the letter in your column from “Now True Blue,” the husband who “cheated” with his wife’s friends and then asked you if he could ever reconcile completely with his ex-wife. My wife and I discussed this and her comment was, “I would rather you ‘cheat’ with a friend who I like than with s o m e ASK stranger.” AMY I realize that this is an unconventional answer, but men do “cheat.” We love our wives, but we are just programmed that way. It’s not our nature to be monogamous. I have been fortunate to have many sexual relations with women who were not my wife — I’m 72 — and the majority has been with women who were also friends of ours, and happily married themselves. Most men “cheat” not because there is something wrong with their present relationship, but because an opportunistic sexual liaison appears and one just takes advantage of it. “It” just happens.

Frugal: Teach important life skills When living on a tight budget, you realize quickly which skills are important. Often, basic skills can be the difference between a small bump in the road and a financial crisis. You can give the next generation a huge gift by teaching them skills that can help them as adults. There are plenty of skills such as gardening, first-aid, childcare/babysitting basics, tool identification and how to use them, etiquette/manners, basic home/car repairs and maintenance, reading food labels or bartering, that you can teach that aren’t useful just during recent tough times SARA but all the NOEL time. You can teach kids gradually and informally or on a schedule. One reader, Denise from Illinois, shares: “We started teaching life skills when my kids were small. My kids have told their friends that they couldn’t go somewhere with them because today was a life skills day, etc. We’ve even had some of their friends come over for lessons at times. My kids have input on what they’d like to learn, and we teach them things we feel are imperative to know. Some things are negotiable. I’d love for my daughter to learn to knit and crochet, but she wants no part of it, so we don’t do that. Some things are not negotiable. They all learned to sew a simple item and mend, and they all learned to

plan and fix simple meals. We noticed it was harder and harder to just “find” teachable moments as my kids got older. If we didn’t schedule it, somehow they never happened. My kids liked the idea of learning certain things on certain days during the summer, too. Cooking class on Monday, sewing on Wednesday, budgeting/finances on Saturday and so forth. “ What life skills do you think are important for kids to know? Chores: It seems like common sense, but it’s amazing that some children don’t have to do many chores. Visit www.familyroi.org/Family_R OI_Age_Appropriate_Chores. pdf for a handy age-appropriate chore guide. Another reader, Mary C. from Indiana, shares: “Teach kids how to approach the basics of work such as how to work, how to work hard, going the extra mile, organizing work, working efficiently and staying with the work until it’s DONE. To accomplish this, I have always had my kids work beside me. None of this ‘you watch a video and when Mommy’s done with her work, we’ll have some fun.’ This drives me nuts to hear parents say this.” Budgeting: Kids need to have money experiences. This can start with a piggy bank, books and games that teach money skills and transition to earning their own money to buy some of their own items, how to make/count back change and having their own bank account. Yes, it seems like an obvious thing to teach, but with so many parents using debit or credit

cards, kids aren’t exposed to the actual exchanges of money as often as you might think. Take your children to thrift stores or garage sales or have them clip and use coupons to show them the difference between discounted prices and paying full retail price. In other words, be the best financial role model and teach them the best use of their hard-earned money. Independence: This is tough and isn’t taught overnight, but kids need to learn critical thinking, healthy habits, social and research skills. You can’t do everything for them or give everything to them. Kids should struggle sometimes, learn consequences, feel disappointment and understand that the world isn’t fair and no one owes them anything. Kids should have an opportunity to volunteer and be a part of the community, too. Your goal is to give them the tools they need to be resilient and responsible adults.

SALISBURY POST

Outdoors report: Fishing slows as August heat rises August heat has slowed fishing in most lakes along the Yadkin River. On High Rock Lake, early mornings, late evenings and night fishing produce the best results. Early morning fishermen are catching largemouth bass on buzz baits, spinner baits and top water lures. Schools of small shad can be seen active on the surface until the day heats up, so key in on points and coves for feeding fish. As the day heats, go to deep crank baits and Carolina rigged soft plastics, and fish drop-offs and deep water structure. During the week, if you are fishing after 11 a.m., you will have the lake almost to yourself until the evening when the sun starts dropping. Crappie are still hitting, but most fishermen choose to go after them after dark. Use suspended or floating lights, which will bring in swarms of minnows, then drop live

minnows and plastic jigs below the schools of minnows. Catches of large numbers of crappie are common, with the biggest often reaching one pound. Places that are producing good catches at night include Bringle Ferry Road Bridge, Abbott’s Creek, N.C. 8 bridge and Flat Swamp Creek railroad bridge. When fishing at night, be sure to have proper navigation lights in operation and do not place your boat in a position that the channel or main thoroughfare is blocked. White perch are active in most portions of High Rock Lake. Often these hard hitting fish can be found in large schools, chasing schools of small shad. Almost anything that resembles a small shad can be used to catch these fish. During the heat of the day, large suspended schools of white perch can be located on your sonar, often near schools of shad. Jigging spoons or trolling jigs and

minnows will most of the time put fish in the cooler. There is no size limit or creel limit, and most definitely no shortage of these tasty fish in most of the Yadkin River lakes, so have no guilt when you take a cooler full home. Striped bass have been hitting despite hot conditions, although the time the bite is on is limited. On High Rock Lake, very early morning seems to be the best, while on Tuckertown Lake near the tailrace of High Rock dam, both morning and evenings are good as long as water is being discharged from the power plant. On most days, one generator is running early in the morning, with the remaining two starting up around 11:30 a.m. and running to almost dark. Because of repair work to the lakeside intake area, discharge times on the weekend have been sporadic and often later in the evening.

Catfish, white bass, largemouth bass, stripers, and perch are seen daily when the water is being discharged. The Davidson County side closest to the discharge of the power plant is the best area to try if fishing from the bank. Surface action is fair to good below the first shoals downstream from the Bringle Ferry Road boating access area. Use caution when navigating a boat in this area. Numerous rocks with an average depth of less than 5 feet makes this portion of the lake particularly hazardous. On Badin Lake, blue catfish over 40 pounds have been caught in the evening and at night. Surface feeding striped bass, white bass, perch and small largemouth can be found most evenings on points and in coves. Lake Tillery has had some great surface action in the early morning and late evening with the same

species that Badin Lake does.

BIKING BY THE ERIE CANAL submitted photo

the ohio erie towpath, on right, follows the erie Canal to its northern terminus near Cleveland. ne of my favorite things to do is to bike long trails. This past week, I was in Ohio and took the opportunity to ride the Ohio Erie Towpath. Made famous in song by Tennessee Ernie Ford, the Erie Canal was the lifeblood of the upper Ohio for approximately 80 years. The first canal boat was pulled from Cleveland in 1827, and the canal was finished by 1832. Canal boats, looking like miniature Noah’s Arks, were pulled by mules, horses, or oxen from Cleveland to New Philadelphia and back again. The length of DAVID the towpath is approximateFREEZE ly 100 miles, with about 80 of that restored as a nice biking, running, walking, and horseback trail. But the draw for me is the history of the area. Unlike many of the long bicycle rides I have taken, this one has so much history that I stopped every few miles to take pictures of something special. Many portions of the canal still hold water. In some sections the bank is kept clean and it is easy to imagine that there will be another boat coming by soon. Other sections have standing water or are dry, and the canal is obscured by trees and brush. The trail itself is easy to ride with few major hills, and most of it is made of crushed gravel. Small portions are paved, with the longest asphalt section being inside the Metro Parks of Cleveland. Restroom facilities are great, and little parks and picnic areas offer plenty of chances to stop and rest. The southern portions of the trail are maintained by the Ohio State Parks system and follow the Tuscarawas River. Much of the northern portion is in the Cuyahoga National Park and follows the Cuyahoga River. There are numerous side routes available to ride into the hillside, or to visit the small historic towns along the way. The Cuyahoga Valley Train offers a unique service to cyclists. If you are at the one of the trailheads where the train stops, you can get on with your bike and ride to another point.

A restored canal boat sits on blocks near Canal Fulton, ohio. Wildlife is abundant. I saw ducks, geese, cranes, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks and my first weasel. Often the towpath has the river on one side and the canal on the other. Sometimes the water in the canal is only a foot or so below the bike trail. Two notable features of the canal are worth mentioning. There is a series of more than 40 locks, which served to raise or lower the boats depending on their direction of travel. Northbound boats were lowered and southbound boats were raised to match the terrain. At these locks, boats had to wait their turn as only one could go through at a time. At the height of the canal boat era, backups could be as much as a mile long. Though common courtesy called for the boats to go in order of arrival, often the crews of the boats jousted with long poles to get their boat ahead of the others. One of my favorite spots was Canal Fulton. It is a small town that is proud of its heritage. Shops, restaurants and a boardwalk border the trail. I noticed many cyclists stopping here for a bite to eat or cold drink. An actual canal boat was being restored and I found it quite amazing. Long and narrow, yet having a draft of only 4 feet when loaded, they carried agricultural products and other supplies. Massillon, Ohio, offers a trailhead that features the nicest bicycle shop I have seen, with an attached restaurant and running store. Ernie’s is a good place to rent bikes if you don’t have your own. Navarre has the trail going by a very large Nickle’s

Bakery which reminded me of running past the old Flower’s Bakery in Salisbury. I loved the smell of bread baking then and I still do. There are several spots where the towpath ends and cyclists have to follow the paved road and the blue and white Ohio Canal Way signs to the next connecting point. Sometimes I found this easy, but at least once there was no information as to where to go next. I bought a nice book with each 2 ½-mile section explained in detail at Ernie’s Bicycle Shop in Massillon. In total, about 20 miles of the towpath trail are not completed yet. Most disappointing to me was that nearly all of the last 5 northernmost miles of the canal had been filled in by the city of Cleveland just after the turn of the century. Riding on this trail is best done with a mountain bike. The terrain is generally good, but the large gravel used in wet areas could be tough on road bike tires. There are only two bike shops along the length of the towpath, so I took my more dependable mountain bike. Residents in the little towns along the way are very nice and embrace their historical heritage. I rode during the week for four days and the trail was very busy. Some were peddling hard, racing the trail. I noticed many regular senior riders with topflight equipment who appeared to be riding in groups. Others of all ages were walking, biking, or running. Parking areas at the trailheads were very busy. Trail width varied from about 6 feet to as much as 10 feet. Throughout my ride, I wondered if the Salisbury Greenway will ever be finished. I met lots of nice people, many riding just a few miles, and one who was riding the complete length of the trail (100 miles) in one day. The Ohio Erie Towpath is a perfect mix of history, exercise, and nature. Expected completion for the rest of the trail is 2016, though work is ahead of schedule. I hope to go back and ride the whole trail in one long day. I made all my pictures this time. The trailheads are easily reached by country or small town roads, and many are part of America’s Scenic Byway. More information on the Ohio Erie Towpath can be found at www.ohioanderiecanalway.com

The team of Mike Sides and Kenny Seagle of Salisbury won the Fishers of Men Fall Trail tournament on Aug. 7 at High Rock Lake, topping 18 teams that took on the heat and the boat traffic. They brought a five-fish limit to the scales totaling 17.2 pounds and a kicker bass weighing 6.7 pounds. In second place was the team of Steve Sink and Whicker of Lexington with 15.64 pounds and in third was Rodney Bell and Clontz of Salisbury with a limit at 15.44 pounds. In all, 18 teams brought 202.84 pounds of bass to the scales. Most of the bass were caught on jigs and worms fishing docks and points in deeper water. The early topwater bite accounted for some good numbers, too, as some anglers reported catching bass on buzz baits. The next tournament will be at Lake Norman on Sept. 4.

Court halts California gay marriages pending appeal 31, of San Francisco, who had planned to wed her partner, Jess Gabbert, 30, if the stay were denied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has happened so many times before where we take two steps forward, one step back.â&#x20AC;? Chief U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker had ordered state officials to stop enforcing Proposition 8 beginning late Wednesday afternoon after ruling Aug. 4 that the ban violated the equal protection and due process rights of gays and lesbians guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution. The banâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backers appealed that ruling and also asked the 9th Circuit to block same-sex weddings in the meantime. They claimed in papers filed with the 9th Circuit that gay marriages would harm the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in promoting responsible procreation through heterosexual marriage. Lawyers for two same-sex couples had joined with California Attorney General Jerry Brown in urging the appeals court to allow the weddings this week, arguing that keeping the ban in place any longer would harm the civil rights of gays and lesbians. In a two-page order granting the stay, the appeals court panel did not indicate why it was keeping Proposition 8 in effect until it could consider the appeal of Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verdict. But it ordered Proposition 8 sponsors to address in their opening brief due Sept. 17 whether they even have the legal right to try to have the trial judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling overturned. Both California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state Attorney General Jerry Brown, the original defendants in the case, have said they support same-sex marriage and refused to defend Proposition 8 in court. Walker presided over a 13day trial earlier this year that was the first in federal court to examine if states can prohibit gays from getting married without violating the constitutional guarantee of equality. Currently, same-sex couples can legally wed only in Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington, D.C.

Sen. Harry Reid comes out against plan to build mosque WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Democrat on Monday came out against plans to build a mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, moving away from President Barack Obama on the controversial election-year issue. Locked in a tight race, Nevada Sen. Harry Reid became the highest profile Democrat to respond to Obama, who last week backed the right for the

developers to build a mosque near ground zero. Since his comments Friday, the Democratic president and his aides have worked to explain the statement, which drew criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The First Amendment protects freedom of religion,â&#x20AC;? said Manley, a Reid Jim spokesman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Senator Reid respects that, but thinks that the mosque should be built some place else.â&#x20AC;? Critics have said the location of the mosque is insensitive because the terrorists who struck were Islamic extremists. The plans call for a $100 million Islamic center two blocks from where almost 3,000 people perished when hijacked jetliners slammed into the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Reid is in a close campaign for re-election. A spokesman for Republican Sharron Angle, Reidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opponent, said Muslims have the right to worship anywhere, but Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for construction of the mosque at ground zero â&#x20AC;&#x153;ignored the wishes of the American people, this time at the expense of victims of 9/11 and their families.â&#x20AC;?

Obama sprints across nation to raise money for Democrats MILWAUKEE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Flying thousands of miles to reap millions of dollars, President Barack Obama is dashing across the country to help his party retain power, essentially offering one familiar argument: Republicans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t solve problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give in to fear,â&#x20AC;? Obama said Monday in his latest ominous vision of a country led by the opposition party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach for hope.â&#x20AC;? Obama has settled on his message for the pivotal midterm elections, which means what he said Monday in Milwaukee will sound like what he says today in Seattle and Wednesday in Miami. He is covering more than 8,000 freewheeling miles in three days, the kind of personal attention that gets donors to the door. This week offers not just a window for Obama to campaign â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Congress is gone, his summer vacation awaits â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but also a window into his thinking about the fall campaign. Despite deep voter impatience over the sickly economy, the White House is betting people will stick with Democrats if the choice is framed as one between those who act and those who obstruct. On Monday, he warned of reliving a dreadful past, saying Republicans want voters â&#x20AC;&#x153;to be afraid of the future.â&#x20AC;?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal appeals court put samesex weddings in California on hold indefinitely Monday while it considers the constitutionality of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gay marriage ban. The decision, issued by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, trumped a lower court judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order that would have allowed county clerks to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples on Wednesday. Lawyers for the two gay couples that challenged the ban said Monday they would not appeal the panelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision on the stay to the U.S. Supreme Court. They said they were satisfied the appeals court had agreed to expedite its consideration of the Proposition 8 case by scheduling oral arguments for the week of Dec. 6. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very gratified that the 9th Circuit has recognized the importance and the pressing nature of this case by issuing this extremely expedited briefing schedule,â&#x20AC;? said Ted Boutrous, a member of the plaintiffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; legal team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proposition 8 harms gay and lesbian citizens every day it remains on the books.â&#x20AC;? Attorneys for sponsors of the voter-approved measure applauded the decision. In seeking the emergency stay, they had argued that sanctioning same-sex unions while the case was on appeal would create legal chaos if the ban is eventually upheld. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the basic notion that this case is not final until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone through the complete appellate process really prevailed,â&#x20AC;? said Douglas Napier, a lawyer with the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal firm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather than have this kind of pingpong effect of having the decision overturned, appealed and then overturned again, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to have this kind of decision,â&#x20AC;? he said. Under the timetable laid out Monday, it was doubtful a decision would come down from the 9th Circuit before next year. A different three-judge panel than the one that issued Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision will be assigned to decide the constitutional question that many believe will eventually end up before the Supreme Court and further delay a final outcome. County clerks throughout the state had been preparing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples for the first time since Proposition 8 passed in November 2008. The measure amended the California Constitution to overrule a state Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex unions earlier that year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sad, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also glad that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the $100 to reserve an appointment at the clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office,â&#x20AC;? said Thea Lavin,

N.C. TAX OVERPAYMENTS

Forfeiture vs. fairness ou’re no doubt familiar with this philosophical puzzler: If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Here’s a modern corollary: If a computer says you’ve overpaid your state taxes but human eyes don’t verify the error, does the overpayment actually exist? Not in the eyes of the N.C. Department of Revenue. With a wave of the regulatory wand, it has virtually erased thousands of overpayments for which N.C. taxpayers rightfully are due refunds. That it has done so when the state is struggling to make ends meet raises the question of whether state officials will let their hunger for revenue override basic fairness. Here’s the gist of the issue: Each year, thousands of N.C. tax returns are flagged by a computer for various reasons, including likely overpayment of taxes, and state law gives taxpayers up to three years to claim a refund (just as the state has three years to collect unpaid taxes). Previously, the computer’s flagging of an overpayment was considered official “discovery” of the problem; so long as that occurred within three years of filing, the taxpayer was eligible for a refund, regardless of how long it took the state to manually examine the return and send out a refund check. But Revenue Secretary Kenneth Lay now says that, because of a 2007 change in N.C. statutes, the computer flagging in itself isn’t sufficient to constitute discovery of an overpayment. Either an agency employee has to confirm the overpayment within three years, or the taxpayer has to discover it and file a claim; otherwise, you’re out of luck. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if the Revenue Department conducted timely checks on all flagged returns. That’s not the case. It currently has a backlog of more than 230,000 unresolved state returns, extending back to 1994. In effect, taxpayers are being penalized for the department’s tardiness. By rights, the revenue agency shouldn’t be running a massive backlog. It should be able to process flagged claims within the three-year window, with time to spare. But given that it’s coping with the same pinched resources as many other state agencies, such backlogs and delays in sending out refund checks (as occurred again this year) may be the norm for the foreseeable future. That being the case, state legislators need to revise the regulations or clarify their interpretation so that taxpayers don’t face these kinds of obstacles in getting refunds of overpayments. A taxpayer’s honest mistake shouldn’t become a windfall for the state.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

“Remember that nobody will ever get ahead of you as long as he is kicking you in the seat of the pants.” — Walter Winchell

Moderately Confused

ASHINGTON — The old axiom “don’t sweat the small stuff” isn’t always the best advice, particularly when applied to politics. It often is the little things that get one into big trouble as President Barack Obama is finding out. For instance, after urging Americans planning summer escapes to head for the beaches of the Gulf in support of those beleaguered by the nation’s worst oil spill, the Obamas spent DAN K. days off elseTHOMASSON their where. Mrs. Obama even went to Spain, setting off a minor public relations furor, raising serious questions about the political sagacity of White House advisers and ultimately forcing the royal couple to briefly spend a day dipping their toes in those troubled waters. But that gaffe pales in comparison to the president’s decision to needlessly step into the middle of the controversy over Muslim plans to build a mosque as part of a cultural center in Manhattan near the site of Ground Zero where 2,752 lives ended because of Islamic religious fanaticism. In a White House celebration of Ramadan, the president told American Muslim leaders that in this nation of unparalleled religious freedom, they had a constitutional right to build the mosque on private property anywhere they chose. While correctly and righteously extolling the principles of our freedom as set forth in the First Amendment, he seemed clearly to be endorsing the idea of placing the worship center a stone’s throw away from the site of the worst foreign attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. The presidential intervention was even more jarring because he had earlier stated the issue was a local matter and should not be influenced by him. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg had already said he would do nothing to try to prevent the mosque from being located on that site. Bloomberg, however, is probably serving his last term in office while the president obviously plans to seek renewal of his White House lease for another four years beginning in 2012 and also faces the prospect of having to finish this term in the uncomfortable position of facing a much stronger Republican minority if not a majority after November’s elections. In the considerable fallout over the mosque, it must suddenly have occurred to the White House political team, albeit a trifle too late, that polls have been showing nearly 70 percent of Americans are on the other side in this issue, that they consider it an affront to the innocents who died there at the hands of religious radicals who justified it, correctly or not, in the name of Islam. So a day after shaking up the landscape and providing Republicans with another club with which to beat him about the head and shoulders, Obama met reporters in Panama City, Fla., where he had gone to do penance over the Gulf flap and denied he had meant to endorse the mosque site. “I was not commenting and I will not comment on the wisdom of making the decision to put a mosque there,” he was quoted in the national press. “I was commenting very specifically on the right people have that dates back to our founding.” Well, you could have fooled those Muslims in attendance at the earlier White House ceremony that cheered his words as bestowing the presidential seal of approval. Whether or not this “clarification” of his position will do the trick is anyone’s guess. And by the time the election rolls around, it may or may not be even a minor issue. But history shows that memories are long when it comes to these emotional matters and that like several other small instances of late the president has given his opponents opportunity to reinforce their accusations that he is sometimes insensitive to the feelings of average Americans. Was he correct in his first statement? Absolutely! This country, after a shaky start in that regard, was founded on religious respect and freedom. But there are times good sense and taste dictate that just because the right is there doesn’t mean exercising it is always the right thing to do. If he couldn’t stay away from the controversy, he should have made that clear in the first place. • • • Dan K. Thomasson is a former editor of Scripps Howard News Service.

The lost art of courtesy an we be candid here? Can we just say this plainly? The public is a bunch of rude, obnoxious jerks. OK, so I overstate. A little. Yes, there are exceptions. I’m not such a bad guy and you, of course, are a paragon of civility. But the rest of them? A cavalcade of boors, boobs, bums, bozos and troglodytes. So it is small wonder the tale of Steven Slater has hit a nerve. The precise sequence of events is still being sorted out at this writing. The initial story was that Slater, a flight attendant for JetBlue, got LEONARD into it with a woman who cursed him when he asked PITTS her not to stand up to retrieve her bags while the plane was still taxiing. At some point, Slater was apparently hit in the head; his attorney says the woman slammed the storage bin on him. This much is certain: Slater went on the plane’s public address system and, as quoted by one witness, declared, “To the passenger who just called me a motherf--, f-- you. I’ve been in this business 28 years and I’ve had it.” He then grabbed himself a beer from a service cart, deployed the plane’s evacuation slide, slid down to the tarmac and drove home. He was arrested soon after. To concede the obvious: Yes, it was a dumb stunt. He’s lucky no one on the ground was injured by the slide. But still ... it resonates, doesn’t it? Some people are framing what happened as a cautionary tale of workplace stress. It seems to me, though, that the episode speaks more pointedly to something larger: the growing incivility of all our daily lives. If the initial account stands up, we’re talking about the incivility of the passenger. If an alternate account turns out to be true — some passengers say Slater ignited the confrontation with his own brusque behavior — we might find guilt on both sides. But either version vindicates a belief that simple courtesy has become a lost art. I’m reminded of how, when we kids would ask my mom for something, she would prompt us: “What’s the magic word?” The magic word was “please.” And when you’d received what you’d asked for, there was

LETTERS

another magic word: “thank you.” In the olden days, we thought manners mattered. Apparently we no longer do. And while that observation can’t be quantified, it is one many of us share. A number of surveys, including one from Rasmussen Reports in 2009, find that an overwhelming majority of us (75 percent, according to Rasmussen) think Americans are becoming ruder. I certainly do. The other day I’m at the cable company and there’s this guy whose service has apparently been shut off for nonpayment. He’s paid his bill and the woman at the counter says she can have someone out the next day to reconnect him, “if you Flight attenwish.” dant Steven “If I wish? That’s a Slater’s outburst stupid-a-- thing to say!” resonates with “Well, sir, we need to many people. make sure someone will be home.” “You didn’t need to make sure I was home before you f-- up my s--!” Those of us in line pretended not to hear. But if that woman had gone Steven Slater on that guy and shoved his cable box where the sun don’t shine, I think she’d have gotten a standing ovation. From that cable office to Rep. Joe Wilson hollering “You lie!” in the middle of a presidential speech to the banal meanness of the average Internet message board, people seem to have gone utterly bat poop. So on behalf of you and me, let me tell the boorish public this: I don’t need to hear you on your cell describing your skin rash. Don’t curse at me when I’m crossing the street on a green light. That thing next to your steering wheel is called a turn signal. I paid $7.50 to hear the movie, not you. Obey your flight attendant. Other people have feelings, too. Please remember those things and nobody gets hurt. Thank you. • • • Leonard Pitts is a columnist for the Miami Herald. E-mail address: lpitts@ miamiherald.com.

Underwear gender gap: Can art be pink and purple? Based on the numerous articles in the Salisbury Post on Aug. 15, it seems the Clyde-Cave controversy continues right into Critters’ and a few other unmentionable windows around town. However, in my discerning opinion, the display of tightiewhities is a bit one-sided. Whereas Critters displays squirrel panties and others show their “support” for Clyde and/or Anne in various ways, where is the female perspective represented? Anyone acquainted with me knows that I am far from being an undie-burning feminist, but this great “Oh Art, What Art Thou” debate deserves a little more lace and color. The issue of art is not black and white and neither is underwear. Not wanting to drive all the way to Charlotte to Victoria’s Secret, I made the trek across Salisbury to Wal-Mart. There, for the staggering sum of $2 plus tax, I found an almost invisible Pepto pink thong with royal purple trim, and cute little flowers. I then drove over to Clyde’s house and exuberantly beeped my horn to announce my arrival. My excitement was short-lived because Clyde graciously declined my colorful addition to his undie collection. He insisted that it only included “men’s underwear.” He also expressed his sincere concern for my delicate sensibilities by adding, “Weren’t you embarrassed buying this thing? What did the cashier think?” Not to worry, my reputation is safe. Whether undies or art … I had exact change! PS: For a more traditional showing and sale of works by many talented area artists, I seriously and cordially invite readers to attend the Carolina Artists 2010 EXPO Aug. 25-28 at the Salisbury Civic Center. Art is in the eye of the beholder — enjoy! — Celeste G. Ward Salisbury

Barnabus Arts Connection a phenomenal event Two weeks ago, I had just started at Rowan County Youth Services Bureau, a United Way member agency, as the new program director for Times Two Mentoring. The Barnabus Arts Connection was the first big event I participated in during my transition. Without a doubt, the experience was one in a million. The 15 youths involved in the program were phenomenal: not only did they open up to the activities, but to the staff and volunteers working with them. The youth shared pieces of themselves, their hopes and dreams, their creativity and wonderful personalities, with all of us. It was an amazing week. Without the commitment of St. John’s Lutheran Church, the selfless volunteers who gave their time, talents and treasures, and the youth, this art camp would have never happened. To all of those involved, for your effort, your time, your sincerity: thank you. — Laura Porter Salisbury

‘Miracle’ as Colombia jetliner crashes in thunderstorm: Woman dies, but 130 survive

Soldier in trouble over Facebook photos JERUSALEM (AP) — A former Israeli soldier posted photos on Facebook of herself in uniform smiling beside bound and blindfolded Palestinian prisoners, drawing sharp criticism Monday from the Israeli military and Palestinian officials. Israeli news websites and blogs showed two photographs of the woman. In one, she is sitting legs crossed beside a blindfolded Palestinian man who is slumped against a concrete barrier. His face is turned downwards, while she leans toward him with her face upturned. Another shows her smiling at the camera with

three Palestinian men with bound hands and blindfolds behind her. The incident was a reminder of the fraught relations between Israeli soldiers and the West Bank Palestinians under their control. Israeli soldiers have run into trouble on the social media sites like Facebook and YouTube before. Most recently a group of combat soldiers were reprimanded for breaking into choreographed dance moves while on patrol in the West Bank town of Hebron. The dance featured prominently on YouTube. Authority Palestinian spokesman Ghassan Khatib condemned the photos and said they pointed to a deeper malaise — how Israel’s 43year-old occupation of Palestinians has affected the Israelis who enforce it.

Interior requires reviews for deepwater drilling WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration announced Monday it is requiring environmental reviews for all new deepwater oil drilling. That means an end, at least for now, to the kind of exemptions that allowed BP to drill its blown-out well in the Gulf with little scrutiny. The announcement came in response to a report by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, which found that decades-old data provided the basis for exempting BP’s drilling permits from any extensive review. The Interior Department said the ban on so-called “categorical exclusions” for deepwater drilling would be in place pending full review of how such exemptions are granted. “Our decision-making must be fully informed by an understanding of the potential environmental consequences of

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — A Boeing 737 jetliner filled with vacationers crashed in a thunderstorm and broke apart as it slid onto the runway on a Caribbean island Monday. Only one of the 131 people on board died, and the island’s governor called it a miracle. The plane hit short of the runway on Colombia’s San Andres Island and skidded on its belly as the fuselage fractured and bits of landing gear and at least one engine were ripped off. The jet wound up on one end of the runway, crumpled and in pieces, as passengers scrambled or were helped to safety. Officials were investigating reports the Aires airline jet was hit by lightning before the crash on the resort island, Colombian air force Col. David Barrero said. He said other possible causes were being investigated as well. Of the 125 passengers and six crew members aboard Aires Flight 8520, the only one killed was a 68-year-old woman, Amar Fernandez de Barreto, San Andres Gov. Pedro Gallardo said. “It was a miracle and we have to give thanks to God,” Gallardo said.

WALK FROM 1A ers disappeared. Since then, “it’s like we unplugged” the lights, he said. A native of Queens, N.Y., Aurora moved to Salisbury about 17 years ago. He had a job then with Wachovia in Winston-Salem. His wife had a job in Charlotte, so Salisbury seemed like a good place in the middle. When he had a chance to move to Richmond with the bank, Aurora declined, opting to stay in his adopted Salisbury. “We moved down here for quality of life,” he said, describing things as friendlier and cleaner than what he was used to in New York. Meanwhile, his father-inlaw and mother also have moved close by. When he goes back to New York for visits, three days of “noise and chaos” are about all he can stand, Aurora said. When New York friends visit him in Salisbury, they complain that it’s too quiet. Aurora shrugs and tells them one thing: “You get used to it.”

I asked how she liked the beautifully designed tattoo that banded around her upper left arm. “It’s me,” she said, “and I wouldn’t change anything about myself.” 

I want to end this report at the free thrift store Kevin Bost has established on North Main Street, not far from Henderson High School. Bost, a bishop at his World of Faith Church, gives away the store’s clothes to anyone in need. Yes, he gives them away. He’ll take donations, but it’s not necessary. “We’re clothing a lot of people,” Bost said. “More people should open up their hearts because times are tough right now.” It’s not always easy for Bost to hold regular hours at the store. He works as an in-home care provider, and Monday morning he was waiting for a volunteer to relieve him so he could start his shift. Bost said he’s not looking for any glory, just a chance to help someone else. “Somebody’s got to do it, buddy,” he said. Wineka and Lakey will continue their walk across Rowan County today by heading south out of Salisbury on U.S. 29, ending the segment at Webb Road.

Morris chooses UNC Salisbury star is second Hornet to pick Heels BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

Salisbury speedster Romar Morris shows off his favorite ballcap.

Move over, Jimmie

It was difficult to tell who was happier about Romar Morris’ verbal commitment to North Carolina on Monday: Morris or Salisbury teammate Darien Rankin. The speedy Morris, known as the Zoomin’ Human, finally chose a school after receiving around 15 Division I offers. Rankin, a 6-foot-1 safety who had already committed to UNC, thinks he has found a roommate. “It feels real good,” smiled Rankin of his best friend’s decision. “I know I have him for another four years.” What North Carolina fans have is a chance to watch one of the fastest

players in the country. The two-time defending state 2A champion in the 100 and 200 meters, Morris caught the Tar Heels’ attention at a Shrine Bowl combine when he RANKIN ran the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds. “They were the first ones to offer me, as a matter of fact,” said the 5-9 Morris, who becomes the Tar Heels’ 17th prospect in the Class of 2011 to commit. He picked UNC over such touted programs as Tennessee, Utah, Arkansas, South Carolina, West Virginia and most of the ACC schools. His final choice came down to the

Tar Heels and Georgia Tech. In between UNC’s offer and the commitment, Morris traveled the country as an elite prospect, even being invited to Oregon for a Nike camp. But in the end, he said everything North Carolina offered was too good to pass up. Morris made the decision after he sat down with his family Sunday night. “We talked about the distance (a 90 minute-drive) and where I could get a good education,” Morris said. “We thought that would be the best place for me.” Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan said he received a text message from Morris early Monday morning that simply read, “I’m going to be a Tar Heel.”

Harvick looks like the favorite BY CHRIS JENKINS Associated Press

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Until somebody actually wrestles the NASCAR Sprint Cup title away from Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick knows it would be foolish to talk about any other driver being the favorite. Even if all signs point to Harvick as the guy to beat after Sunday’s victory at Michigan HARVICK International Speedway. “Until you beat that guy, there’s no reason to put that pressure on ourselves,” Harvick said. Team owner Richard Childress likes Harvick’s chances of becoming the man to interrupt the remarkable run of four straight championships by Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports’ No. 48 team. But he’s downplaying talk about titles and isn’t making any bold predictions. “Sure, we think we’ve got the cars and everything to contend for the championship,” Childress said. “But we (aren’t) going to be cocky about it.” Fellow competitors acknowledge Harvick — who leads the points and formally clinched a spot in the Chase with Sunday’s win — is looking strong with only three races left in the regular season. Harvick became the points leader through consistency, but he showed on Sunday that he can win at a track other than Talladega or Daytona. “I really don’t see how he can’t be, really, the favorite going into it,” said Denny Hamlin, who finished second to Harvick on Sunday. 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.

West Rowan head coach Scott Young watches quarterback B.J. Sherrill during practice. Sherrill takes over the leadership role from departed K.P. Parks.

3A state champs Plenty of leaders remain at West question was brought up recently about the current edition of the West Rowan football team — and it’s a valid question. Sure, you have seniors — guys who have started for two or three seasons. But how good will be they be in that leadership role? They’ve never had to be THE MAN because of a kid named K.P. Parks. Everyone followed Parks’ lead for the past few years. He motivated by showing RONNIE them what hard work was GALLAGHER all about. Freshmen came in a little in awe of the AllAmerican running back and did everything they could to please him. K.P. is gone now. So who’s going to lead? “Everybody has to step up,” said allcounty offensive lineman Davon Quarles. In this case, leadership starts with the quarterback, and B.J. Sherrill is ready to replace Parks (Virginia) and Chris Smith (Arkansas) as the leader. “We’ve got a good one with B.J. Sherrill,” assistant coach Tim Dixon said. “He’s an excellent leader. We’ll put the team on his back just like we did K.P.”

Falcon seniors, from left, B.J. Sherrill, Charles Holloway and Davon Quarles are ready to step up as leaders. Teammates want Sherrill to know they’ve got his back. “Even without K.P. and Chris, I think we can still be leaders,” said Charles Holloway, Quarles’ all-county running mate on the offensive line. “We’re all stepping up, and we’re going to convince the younger players to work hard like they taught us to do.” Winning has been contagious. West dressed a whopping 60 players for its varsity photo, the most of any Rowan County team. “We had more bodies at mini-camp that we’ve ever had,” head coach Scott Young

The West Rowan notebook ... Now that Salisbury’s Romar Morris has committed to a school — North Carolina — it leaves everyone wondering where Rowan County’s other big-name recruit is headed. Domonique Noble, a coveted 6-foot-2 defensive back, has been offered by almost 20 schools. He finally provided a hint about a possible destination Friday. Noble said his final two choices were down to Georgia Tech and Penn State. When asked if he was leaning toward Georgia Tech, Noble said, “Yes sir.” Noble has been trying to visit Tech with his mother, but they haven’t made it down together yet. He said he will attend Tech’s opener

Domonique Noble is leaning toward Georgia Tech. at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta on Sept. 4 against South Carolina State. Asked if he would commit on that day, Noble replied, “I don’t know. It might be sooner than that.” West coach Scott Young is happy for the decision. “I’m ready for it to be over with,” he said. “Domonique has a lot of great options. He needs to go

Giants win, but Manning is injured EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Mark Sanchez was sharp, while 31 Eli Manning Giants Jets 16 n e e d e d stitches. Manning was forced to leave the New York Giants’ 31-16 victory over the Jets after suffering a bloody, 3-inch gash to the left side of his head early in the second quarter Monday night. The Giants quarterback needed 12 stitches to close the cut, and showed no sign of concussion after being hurt with 10:45 left in the first half. Sanchez led the Jets on three scoring drives, overcoming an interception on his first pass, while playing the entire first half in the first football game played at the New Meadowlands Stadium. The teams traditionally meet in the third game of the preseason, but both wanted to be part of the unveiling of their new $1.6 billion, 82,500seat home. The big night ended early for Manning, who was hurt when running back Brandon Jacobs rumbled up the middle and smacked into him with his shoulder on a fake handoff. After losing the ball, Manning tried to grab it, but was smacked in the middle of his back by Calvin Pace. Manning’s helmet was knocked off, pushing him forward, face-first. Manning’s head plowed into either Jets safety Jim Leonhard or Jacobs, and the quarterback quickly called for the training staff, his hand covered in blood. Manning was replaced by Jim Sorgi, who backed up Eli’s brother, Peyton, in Indianapolis for the last few seasons.

Sorgi filled in nicely, throwing two touchdown passes to rookie Victor Cruz, who finished with three TD catches. This was a Jets home game, with the stadium’s exterior lit up in green, and the interior filled with the team’s logos and colors. The Jets also inducted the first six members of their ring of honor, including Joe Namath, who led the franchise to its only Super Bowl in 1969. The kinks were still being worked out in the stadium as a fire alarm went off in the first quarter that knocked out the public address system until the second quarter. The Giants host the first regular-season football game against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 12. The Jets will host their first game the following night, again in front of a national Monday Night Football audience, against the Baltimore Ravens. After a week of trash talk leading into this game, the Giants — at least with their backups — showed they were the superior team on this night. Sanchez showed no signs of being tentative in his first game since having the patella-stabilizing ligament in his left knee repaired in February. He was 13 for 17 for 119 yards, including a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brad Smith in the first quarter that tied it at 7. The newest Jets also made their debuts with LaDainian Tomlinson, Santonio Holmes, Antonio Cromartie, Jason Taylor and Brodney Pool all seeing action. Tomlinson, who played sparingly in the preseason in

his nine seasons in San Diego, had 17 yards on eight carries. He also had a 14-yard touchdown run, flashing some nifty moves, nullified by a holding penalty. The Giants, who didn’t have several starters play due to injuries, took an early lead by capitalizing on a mistake by Sanchez. On the Jets’ second play from scrimmage, Sanchez threw into double coverage to Tomlinson, who had the ball tip off his hands and right to Antrel Rolle. The Giants safety, acquired from Arizona in the offseason, returned it 59 yards before being tackled at the 1 by Dustin Keller. Three plays later, Jacobs plowed into the end zone for a touchdown. That was about all the offense Manning and the Giants’ first-teamers could muster early. They had zero yards of total offense until Ramses Barden’s 6-yard catch to close the opening quarter. With the Jets leading 16-10, Cruz made a nice one-handed grab down the left sideline over Dwight Lowery to put the Giants ahead with a 64-yard touchdown. Cruz also caught a 34-yard touchdown pass from Sorgi to give the Giants a 24-16 lead with 12:27 left in the game. Cruz’s 5-yard catch from Rhett Bomar capped the scoring with 2:24 remaining. Notes: Jets C Nick Mangold was held out as a precaution after taking a blow to the head in practice last week. Rob Turner started in his place. ... Giants LB Chase Blackburn left with a sprained right knee.

Nationals, Harper reach agreement WASHINGTON (AP) — Top overall draft pick Bryce Harper and the Washington Nationals reached an agreement on a $9.9 million, fiveyear contract shortly before the deadline of midnight EDT Monday night. A year ago, the Nationals agreed to a record-breaking $15.1 million, four-year contract with No. 1 draft choice Stephen Strasburg a little more than a minute before the clock ran out. Strasburg made his big league debut June 8, the day after Harper was drafted. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Harper is a 17-year-old power-hitting junior college catch-

er the Nationals plan to convert to an outfielder. He’s the first JUCO player taken with the first overall selection. He gets a $6.25 million signing bonus in five equal payments of $1.25 million: 30 days after appoval and each July 1 from 2011 through 2014. Harper receives salaries of $500,000 each in 2011 and 2012, $750,000 in 2013, $900,000 in 2014 and $1 million in 2015. He hit .443 with 31 homers and 98 RBIs in his first season at the College of Southern Nevada, which plays in a league that uses wood bats. He skipped his final two years of

high school and got his GED, making him eligible for the 2010 amateur draft. He already has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated at 16, touted as “baseball’s chosen one” and “the most exciting prodigy since LeBron.” He was the first non-senior to earn Baseball America’s High School Player of the Year award. And he was only the second junior college player, joining Alex Fernandez in 1990, to win the Golden Spikes Award, given to the country’s top amateur baseball player. Harper and Strasburg both are represented by Scott Boras.

First-year assistant Zeb Link, center back, shares a laugh with fellow West coaches Darrell Miserheimer, left, and Joe Nixon. Link had 21 interceptions during his Falcon career.

WEST FROM 1B where his family feels the most comfortable.” Stay tuned. • MORE RECRUITING: Noble isn’t the only defensive back drawing interest. Eric Cowan, a 5-10 cornerback, has been busy listening to recruiters. FCS member N.C. A&T and Division II UNC Pembroke have offered. Cowan said Elon, Coastal Carolina and Campbell have also shown interest. “Elon wants me to come work out for them,” Cowan said. “Coastal, Campbell and a couple of other schools really like me a lot, but they’re going to wait and see how this year goes.” Cowan thanks past West Rowan stars like K.P. Parks and Chris Smith for the interest. “What they did brings other people to check us out,” Cowan said. “It feels pretty good. They’re looking at me so I’m doing something right.” • Quarterback B.J. Sherrill has heard from many FCS schools and been offered by Utah and Richmond. Wake Forest and Virginia are still very much interested in the 6-0, 217-pounder. “He’s ready for his summer to be over with,” Young said. “He has been on the road so much. He’s gone everywhere. He’s going to have some good opportunities.” • Young said Patrick Hampton, Emmanual Gbunblee, Charles Holloway, Trey Mashore and Davon Quarles should continue their careers in college. • THE STREAK: West has won 30 straight games and two state titles. The only school with more consecutive wins is 2AA Reidsville with 48.

bret strelow/SALISBURY POST

B.J. Sherrill is 30-0 as a starter at West. Wake Forest and Virginia are among the colleges interested in the senior. • BIG MAN: Xavier Still is the biggest player in Rowan County, standing 6-6, 390. • LOYAL: One of the things Young loves to brag about is his coaching staff and how it has stayed loyal to the school. “We’ve lost five full-time assistants in 12 years,” Young said. “That’s amazing. There’s coaching staffs that lose five in one year. I’ve said it a thousand times. That’s a big reason for our success. The kids know ’em. And the biggest thing is, you

don’t have to spend time coaching coaches.” • BIG NUMBERS: And, just for the record, Young is 11937 in his 12 years.The next winningest coach at West is Ron Raper, who managed 33 wins. • MORE COACHING: West brought in the staffs from Southeast and West middle schools to watch practice. “It just makes sense,” Young said. “They’re our future.” • ZEB’S BACK: Young wel-

comes a former star in Zeb Link, who comes over after a baseball career at Catawba. “It feels great,” said Link, who once had 10 interceptions in one season. “The excitement of football is still the same. It’s a whole lot different from baseball.” Link is still a rookie, so don’t think it’s a breeze being a coach at West. Those fun-loving assistants are giving him a hard time. When asked if there was any type of hazing, Link laughed. “They’ve tried. They give me all the dirty work, which

is cleaning, go-get-this, goget-that,’ Link laughed. “That’s because they’re lazy. I’m the most fit one of ’em all.” • HOME GAMES: West opens Friday at home against Central Cabarrus, a team that fell 54-0 to the Falcons last year in a game that was called after three quarters. On Aug. 27, West remains at home to face Northwest Cabarrus. West has back-to-back home games again on Sept. 10 and 17 when Salisbury and Mooresville visit.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B said. “Certain kids say, ‘Hey, I want to be a part of that.’ ” There is no dropoff in expectations. West is the preseason 3A No. 1 pick in North Carolina. “It’s an honor that you get respect from all the other coaches in the state,” Young said. “But it’s the final (poll) that matters.” West has been at the top of the mountain for the past two years, thanks to a couple of state championships. Young wants his staff and players to enjoy the hoopla because he remembers the days it wasn’t anywhere near his campus. In Young’s first season way back in 1998, the Falcons were 3-8. “It’s all about consisten-

The build a little history.” first year was bad, but we The current seniors want started being pretty good. I to keep it going.

“We’re trying to do bigger and better things,” Holloway said. “Our No. 1 goal is to win the states.”

Young keeps reminding everyone that this is West Rowan 2010. When told practically all of the experts

• OPEN DATE: Young doesn’t particularly like West’s open date, which is Oct.29, the next to last regular-season game. • DON’T I KNOW YOU? Clifford Long has come a long way. From West to Carson to West. But the fullback could be an important cog in the offense. • CROSS COUNTRY: Because of the success, Young and members of his staff have traveled all over the place. Young and Joe Nixon worked the South Carolina camp. Young has been to Utah. He spoke at Arkansas’ clinic. He has visited all of the Tobacco Road teams. “It’s neat,” he said. “But it’s all because of the players here.” • SCRIMMAGES: Young said after two scrimmages, West’s passing game was ahead of the pace and the defense looked good running around to the football. “We still have to work in the running game,” said Young, who won’t name the successor to Parks. “We’re just going to let B.J. do it all,” Young laughed. • BYE, HONEY: If you think Young was away from home during the summer, it’s just about as bad when football starts. There were nights when he would get off the practice field at 6 p.m. and go to the baseball practice for son Bryant until 8:30. Then, there’s jayvee games on Thursday where he may not get home until 11 p.m. On Fridays he gets home around midnight. “I kiss the wife and tell her and kids goodbye,” Young chuckled. “I say, ‘I’ll see y’all in November or December.’ ”

have him winning another state title, he laughed. “I’d like to meet these people because I don’t know what they’re thinking,” Young said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.” Quarles knows that, and he says the big head won’t be a problem with the gigantic expectations. “I try not to worry about it,” he said, “and be myself. When you get big-headed, that’s when you start getting sorry — thinking you’re better than everybody else.” But Quarles does know where he goes to school. “It’s still the same ol’ West Rowan,” Quarles smiled. “It’s still ‘Tradition never graduates.’ ” • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

ATLANTA — Melky Cabrera’s two-run single off Octavio Dotel with the bases loaded in the ninth inning capped a threerun rally that lifted Atlanta to a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles on Monday night. Dotel took over for Hong-Chih Kuo (32), who failed to protect a 3-1 lead. Kuo gave up two singles and a walk to load the bases. Dotel walked pinch-hitter David Ross to force in a run. Cabrera then lined the gamewinning single past shortstop Jamey Carroll. The first-place Braves moved 21/2 games ahead of Philadelphia in the NL East. Peter Moylan (4-2) pitched a perfect ninth for Atlanta. Los Angeles starter Chad Billingsley gave up five hits and one run in seven innings. Atlanta’s Tommy Hanson gave up five hits and a run in seven innings. Padres 9, Cubs 5 CHICAGO — Kevin Correia pitched six scoreless innings and hit an RBI double to lead San Diego. Miguel Tejada was 4 for 5 with a double and two RBIs and Chris Denorfia added three hits for the NL West-leading Padres, who have won seven of eight. They moved four games ahead of second-place San Francisco. Correia (10-7) allowed five hits and struck out five with one walk. He improved to 5-1 since the All-Star break with a 3.00 ERA in six starts. San Diego’s bullpen allowed two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth. It took five relievers to secure the win. Heath Bell finished up with a perfect ninth. Alfonso Soriano hit an RBI double in the eighth and Blake Dewitt followed with a two-run homer for the Cubs, who have lost seven of eight at home.

Lindstrom (2-4) allowed a single to David Wright with one out in the ninth before a single by Beltran put runners at the corners.

Rays rally to beat Lee, gain on Yankees Associated Press

Rodriguez out for season HOUSTON (AP) — Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez has a torn thumb ligament in his pitching hand and will need surgery to repair the injury, which presumably was sustained when punching his girlfriend’s father at Citi Field. The Mets announced the injury before Monday night’s game at the Houston Astros. They said the reliever didn’t travel to Texas with the team. K-Rod was examined Monday at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, and the Mets said an MRI revealed the injury in his right hand. Rodriguez was suspended for two days without pay following the fight outside a family room at the ballpark last Wednesday. He apologized to teammates and fans, then gave up a leadoff double but didn’t allow a run in a 4-0 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday. The 28-year-old reliever was arrested and charged with third-degree assault following the right. He was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court Sept. 14. Rodriguez is accused of grabbing 53-year-old Carlos Pena, hauling him into a tunnel near the family lounge beneath Citi Field and hitting him in the face.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carlos Pena hit a tiebreaking single during a four-run eighth inning and Tampa Bay rallied to beat Texas and Cliff Lee 6-4 on Monday night. Tampa Bay moved into a first-place tie with the Yankees in the AL East. Lee outlasted David Price in a marquee matchup of All-Star aces and was given a late lead when Texas scored twice in the top of the eighth to go up 4-2. But Carl Crawford hit a runscoring grounder and Evan Longoria tied it with a single before Pena, just off the disabled list, made it 5-4. Ben Zobrist added an RBI single that chased Lee (10-6). The left-hander allowed six runs, nine hits and one walk while striking out 10 over 7 2-3 innings. He has lost all three of his starts against Tampa Bay this season. Price got a no-decision in his bid to become the AL’s first 16-

game winner, giving up two runs and five hits in six-plus innings. The hard-throwing lefty struck out eight and walked five. Lance Cormier (4-3) got the final out in the eighth before Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 34th save. Orioles 5, Mariners 4, 11 innings BALTIMORE — Baltimore’s Nick Markakis led off the 11th inning with a double and scored on a two-out bunt by Adam Jones. Markakis doubled off Sean White (0-1) and advanced on a groundout. After another groundout against a drawn-in infield, Jones dropped a bunt down the third-base line that Jose Lopez failed to snare with his bare hand as Markakis sprinted home. Matt Albers (5-3) worked the 11th to get the win. It was the 21st time this season that Seattle lost on its opponent’s final at-bat, the 10th in walkoff fashion.

Rookie Adam Moore, who had his first four-hit game, Russell Branyan and Lopez homered for the Mariners. Moore came in batting .159 and had never had more than two hits in any of his previous 34 games in the majors. Tigers 3, Yankees 1 NEW YORK — Max Scherzer kept the Detroit Tigers in control most of the way. Once Jose Valverde came in, that’s when things got wild. Scherzer pitched two-hit ball for six shutout innings and a shaky Valverde got Derek Jeter to ground into a game-ending double play with the bases loaded Monday night, giving the Tigers the victory. Tigers second baseman Carlos Guillen took a hard hit to the leg from speedy Brett Gardner and still managed to make a strong relay that nipped Jeter. Guillen was down on the ground for a few moments and will be examined Tuesday. “It was really the play of the

game,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. “He took it like a man.” Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher left the Yankees’ lineup early with ailments. Rodriguez came out after four innings because of tightness in his left calf and Swisher exited with tightness in his right forearm. Both players were day to day. The Tigers took a 3-0 lead into the ninth — the Yankees were close to being shut out in consecutive games for the first time since 1999. Valverde escaped an eighthinning jam, but quickly saw the Yankees load the bases with one out in the ninth on two walks and a single. A walk to Gardner forced home a run, and brought up Jeter. Valverde held on for his 23rd save in a row. He wasn’t available a day earlier because of a strained side muscle that’s left him struggling, and Leyland came out to check his health during a walk to Gardner.

Canseco, Lee back on baseball field

Browns’ Delhomme steady Associated Press

The NFL notebook ... BEREA, Ohio — One drive: 11 plays, 80 yards in under six minutes. That’s all it took for Jake Delhomme to convince many Cleveland fans that the Browns’ seemingly endless problems at quarterback are history. Well, it’s way too early to proclaim the team’s QB problems over, but Delhomme’s brief but bright exhibition debut on Saturday night in Green Bay went a long way toward restoring the veteran’s image, and it helped further faith that president Mike Holmgren can revive the Browns. In his first — and only — series, Delhomme went 6 of 7 for 66 yards and moved the Browns to a quick touchdown against a highly regarded Packers defense. Cleveland rallied after blowing a 14-0 lead to win 27-24 on a last-second field goal, but Delhomme’s performance was both a personal victory and vindication for Holmgren, who raised some eyebrows when he signed the 35-year-old free agent as one of his first executive acts in March and discarded both Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson. “Jake did an excellent job

on the first drive,” coach Eric Mangini said Monday. “We were able to do a lot of things against a team we weren’t able to do much against last year.” SMITH RETURNS SPARTANBURG, S.C. — The entire Steve Smith package was back Monday morning. The three plates and up to 20 screws in his left arm? You’d never have guessed that when Carolina’s fourtime Pro Bowl receiver made an acrobatic, leaping catch in his first practice since he broke his forearm for the second time in six months. Determined to play in the regular-season opener? You bet, but while Smith declared himself pain-free, he also still hates the preseason, saying, “I don’t really care if I play or if I don’t — emphasis on hopefully don’t,” when asked if he’ll play in an exhibition game. And Smith showed his signature fiery side when he sounded a warning to any opposing defensive player who might think of testing to see if his left arm is suddenly a fragile weak spot. “I would hope that it wouldn’t be a target, but who knows,” Smith said. “Every so often you’ll come up on a chump that may try whatev-

er — emphasis on chump. “I mean if they want to try, they can come get some if they want it. I don’t think it’s going to work out too well for them. There isn’t much bone left in this thing.” FORMER HEEL TRADED SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer was traded to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday after a mysterious absence from the San Francisco 49ers over the past week. The Seahawks will send an undisclosed 2011 draft pick to the Niners. Balmer left the 49ers last Monday for what coach Mike Singletary called personal reasons. Balmer, the team’s firstround draft pick in 2008 out of North Carolina, missed his fifth straight practice Friday before the team traveled to Indianapolis for its exhibition opener against the Colts. ANKLE SCARE Running back Mike Goodson returned to practice Monday for the first time in two weeks following a sprained left ankle. “It was a big scare. It was the back of my ankle and it was lower so I thought right away it was my Achilles’ (tendon) and I thought I would be out for a while,” Goodson said. “But it turned out to be just an ankle sprain.”

DE Tyler Brayton’s left foot was still in an air cast after he twisted his ankle in Thursday’s game. ... G Ray Hisatake (neck) sat out the workouts. ...

The network said Monday that Warner will serve as an analyst when Arizona hosts the Super Bowl champion Saints on Oct. 10.

A Hog wearing Gator hat? You’re fired! Associated Press

The college football notebook ... FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — An Arkansas radio personality announced that she was fired Monday, two days after wearing a Florida Gators hat to an Arkansas Hogs news conference. Renee Gork announced on Twitter that she had been fired by KAKS, a northwest Arkansas radio station that calls itself Hog Sports Radio. Gork had worn a Gator hat Saturday to a news conference with Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino. Petrino, whose team lost to the Gators last season 23-20 at Florida,

commented on Gork’s hat after answering a question she asked. “And that will be the last question I answer with that hat on,” Petrino said. Gork, a Florida graduate, said she grabbed the hat without thinking Saturday because it was raining outside. She also said she sent a letter of apology to the university and Petrino. “Was hoping to publicly apologize to coach Petrino and UA fans on the show today ... but I won’t get that chance,” Gork wrote on KAKS’ Twitter account. “I’ve been fired.” VIRGINIA TECH BLACKSBURG, Va. — Logan Thomas has won Virginia Tech’s back-

up quarterback job. Coach Frank Beamer says the 6-foot-6, 245-pound redshirt freshman beat out Ju-Ju Clayton for the spot behind starter Tyrod Taylor. He says Clayton will be the No. 3 quarterback. Thomas is among the most athletic players on the Hokies roster, having been measured for a 391⁄2-inch vertical leap during the summer. TCU STADIUM FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU has released plans for a $105 million renovation of its 80-year-old football stadium, a project that will force the Armed Forces Bowl to move its Dec. 30 game temporarily.

LAREDO, Texas — Jose Canseco has signed a contract with an independent minor-league team in south Texas. The 46-year-old Canseco, a central figure in baseball’s steroid era, was introduced Monday as a member of the Laredo Broncos — one of six teams in the United Baseball League. Canseco says he’ll play designated hitter, serve as a bench coach and pitch for the team. He’ll play in Laredo’s remaining six home games this season. Canseco hit 462 home runs in 17 major league seasons. He was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1986 and MVP in 1988, after he hit 42 home runs and stole 40 bases. • BROCKTON, Mass. — Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Bill Lee signed with the Brockton Rox of the Can-Am League on Monday. The 63-year-old left-hander will start the season finale on Sept. 5 against the Worcester Tornadoes. Lee still pitches over 200 innings per year in over-40 men’s leagues in New England and Atlantic Canada. He pitched for the Red Sox from 1969-78, winning 17 games each season from 1973-75. He was traded to Montreal in 1979 where he won 16 games in the first of his four seasons there.

NBA AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Tracy McGrady doesn’t see himself as an old, broken-down basketball player. He’s hoping that his free-agent deal with the Detroit Pistons will help him prove that to the NBA. The 31-year-old McGrady signed his oneyear, $1.3 million contract Monday.

RUDER CUP MILWAUKEE — U.S. captain Corey Pavin says Tiger Woods is high on his list to be one of his four picks for the Ryder Cup, without saying for sure he would take the world’s No. 1 player. Woods failed to finish among the top eight in the Ryder Cup standings who qualified for the American team. He tied for 28th at the PGA Championship, finishing nine shots behind Martin Kaymer at Whistling Straits. Pavin does not have to announce his picks until Sept. 7. That gives Woods at least one more tournament to show he’s improving.

IRVINE, Calif. — Michael Phelps will swim the 400-meter individual medley at this week’s Pan Pacific championships for the first time since the 2008 Olympics. Phelps dropped the grueling event after winning a gold medal and setting the world record at the Beijing Games.

Another shakeup ahead for Earnhardt? CHARLOTTE — With a nondescript 19th-place finish at Michigan International Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. all but ensured he’ll miss the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship for the third time in four years. That wasn’t supposed to happen. Not with all the resources Hendrick Motorsports poured into rebuilding Earnhardt’s team in an effort to turn the most popular driver if not into a champion, then at least a winner again. Yet Earnhardt and his No. 88 team have fallen short again, and with three races left to set the Chase field, he’s 129 points out of the 12th and final qualifying spot.

HARVICK

He was short with reporters following Sunday’s race, in which he struggled most of the afternoon and was in no mood to discuss his Chase chances after his fifth consecutive finish outside the top 15. “I just want to go home,” he said. “It wasn’t good. We were junk all day. We weren’t good. We worked hard.” Nobody questions whether or not Earnhardt works hard. In fact, those around him insist the driver has never put forth a greater effort to turn around his fortunes and fulfill the expectations that come with being the son of one of NASCAR’s greatest racers. All the pieces were supposed to finally be in place when he teamed with Rick Hendrick in 2008, positioning

himself with NASCAR’s top team because, in his own words at his 2007 hiring announcement, “I think that I’ll have a good opportunity to succeed and win a lot of races. Personally, I think I will cherish a championship on my mantle when it’s all said and done.” Only the reality is that Earnhardt has just one victory in 95 races with HMS. He made the Chase just once, in 2008, when he spent most of the season ranked third in points but finished 12th in the final standings. Last season was the worst of his Cup career, and Hendrick had to fire Earnhardt’s longtime crew chief, Tony Eury Jr., in an effort to salvage the season. It didn’t really work as Earnhardt notched only five top-10 finish-

Harvick joked that the team should go on vacation until the Chase starts, and said he was looking forward to playing in a golf outing to benefit his foundation on

es and a career-worst 25th-place finish in the standings at the same time teammates Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon led a 1-2-3 sweep of the points. So Hendrick made an organizational commitment to Earnhardt. He spent the offseason tightly pairing Earnhardt’s team with Martin’s team and gave new Earnhardt crew chief Lance McGrew key personnel members from Martin’s team. The focus on the No. 88 team has clearly hurt Martin’s bunch: A fiverace winner and championship contender last season, he’s yet to make it to Victory Lane this year and finds AssociAted press himself trailing Clint Bowyer by 35 points for the final Chase berth.

Tuesday, Aug. 17 Don’t let anything intimidate you any longer in the year ahead when it comes to getting that job or position you want and feel you can handle well. Good things occur to those who make things happen. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — This is an excellent day to give some thought to organizing that special outing or get-together you want to put on the calendar. If your plans are well thought out, everything will turn out wonderful. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If money is owed you for work you’ve done, don’t be reluctant or embarrassed to request that which you’ve justly earned. It should evoke a good response. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Certain information you possess should provide you with much more leverage than usual when dealing with clubs, organizations or corporations. Use it judiciously. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A work-related associate might impose upon you for a favor. If it isn’t asking too much, do what you can to be helpful, because it could help with a request you might make on him/her later. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It’s to your benefit to hang out with those who have knowledge that you don’t possess, but would like to. What you learn from them is likely to turn out to be invaluable. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be on guard for new methods or changes that could prove to be very beneficial for you, career-wise. You may have to do some detective work in order to put all the bits and pieces together. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — When negotiating a matter of importance, take the long-range view of the matter. Don’t just think about what it’ll mean for you today, but what it could mean to you down the line. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Little annoyances that have been causing friction for you with a co-worker can be resolved if you take the time to nicely discuss it with the person. The catharsis could prove to be very interesting. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Success is likely to be dependent upon how you see yourself in comparison to others. The best possible way would be to see everyone as equal. No one is better than you, nor is anyone worse. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — A lot of little responsibilities you’ve been putting off won’t be any trouble. Once you get into the swing of things, you’ll feel better and better with each job you complete. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your mind is far more resourceful than you may realize, so don’t discount any ideas or concepts it might generate. However, others might appreciate the merits of your thinking more than you do. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — When it comes to your material affairs, you should do rather well, so don’t hesitate to bargain a bit when the situation calls for it. Go ahead and call the other guy’s bluff. United FeatUre Syndicate inc.

A nonhealing wound requires attention healing. He suggested that he reopen it, remove additional tissue and sew it up, turning it into a primary wound. The initial wound was 5.5 centimeters deep by 5 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide. Now it is going to be made even larger. We met with another surgeon who suggested he would make the wound even bigger and “dishpan” it so it would be easier to pack. I’m at my wits’ end. I have had two open-heart surgeries that healed in weeks. Six months later, I’m starting all over. I still have no infection, but no one can seem to get the wound to heal. Do you have any advice? Dear Reader: There are a number of reasons why wounds do not heal, but it of-

ten gets down to a lack of blood supply. Blood transports oxygen, platelets and plasma to heal wounds. That’s why people with diabetes (diabetic ulcers), infections (from bacteria or foreign bodies), smokers (vascular disease) and a host of other conditions have difficulties healing wounds. I’m not sure why yours has persisted for so long, but it’s time for a change. Get a referral to a topnotch surgeon at a local, well-respected hospital. Explain the length of time you have had the open wound and the circumstances leading up to it. If there is an underlying cause hampering your recovery, be sure to address and correct it. Then ask about treatment with IV antibiotics; vacuum-assisted closure; stem-cell thera-

py, which can provide the injured tissue with cells that can develop into healthy tissue; and skin grafting. Millions of dollars are spent every year because of nonhealing wounds. Add that to the trauma you and many other people suffer on a daily basis, and it’s hard to put a price on. You need the help of a wound-care specialist, who can determine the reason your wound isn’t healing and take the necessary steps to ensure it does.

Joe E. Lewis said, “I distrust camels and anyone else who can go a week without a drink.” If your partner is camellike, get one whose bidding and play you can trust. In today’s deal, South was in four spades. West led his singleton club: six, jack, king. Declarer played a trump. West went in with his ace and shifted to the heart seven. Declarer won with his ace and led a second spade. East took

his king and cashed the diamond ace to stop the overtrick, knowing his partner was now out of trumps. If only West had switched to a diamond at trick three, East could have won with his ace and given his partner a club ruff. The spade king would then have been the setting trick. Was West culpable for not finding the diamond shift, or was East to blame? Many pairs use some form of checkback after opener rebids one no-trump. New Minor Forcing is popular. Here, South would rebid two dia-

monds, North would continue with two spades, and South would jump to game, keeping his club support undisclosed. It looks as though West misguessed by leading a heart instead of a diamond, but it was East’s fault. He should have realized that West had led a singleton. And if so, West needed to know where East had his entry. Since this lay in diamonds, the lower-ranking of the other two side suits, East should have played his club three at trick one. Finally, if you think South

Dear Dr. Gott: In November 2009, I pulled a rib muscle in my back while working out in the gym. It later became abscessed and subsequently burst, discharging a cloudy liquid. The following month, I saw a surgeon who DR. PETER thought it could be inGOTT fected. He cut into the wound to remove the fluid and bad tissue. At home, we had to pack the wound and cover it two times a day. This created tension with my wife, as she had to do it because I could not reach the area. In June 2010, the surgeon decided the wound was not

Salisbury’s Romar Morris, left, and Darien Rankin talk about North Carolina football.

MORRIS FROM 1B Pinyan expects this to be a Romar-kable relationship. “He’s a tremendous athlete with remarkable speed,” Pinyan said. “He can play the game. He’s got muscles on top of muscles.” Morris rushed for 1,330 yards and scored 21 touchdowns as a junior, helping Salisbury to a 10-5 record. Scout.com calls Morris the 65th-best running back prospect in his class and the 14th-best prospect in North Carolina. Rivals.com calls him the 18th-best prospect in the state. The visits to Chapel Hill had a lot to do with his decision. “I enjoyed being around the coaches and players,” Morris said. “The players told me the coaches were real nice. But they like to get work done.” Morris said UNC is looking at him as a halfback but added, “they want to spread me out a little.” Pinyan said Morris’ versatility of being able to catch the ball will only enhance the UNC offense. Morris averaged 25 yards on 12 catches in Salisbury’s wishbone attack in 2009. Rivals.com lists him as the 10th-ranked

Salisbury’s Romar Morris (8) ran for 1,330 yards in 2009. all-purpose back in the country. “(UNC’s) coaches know they won’t have to take him out if they go four-wide because they know he can catch and run in space,” Pinyan said. The Salisbury coach is anxious to see how Morris handles going up against collegesized athletes. “The bottom line is, can he take the pounding an I-tailback will take?” Pinyan said. “North Carolina doesn’t know the answer, and he doesn’t know the answer. Once he gets there and they pound on him, they’ll know if he can take 30 carries a game. “Here, he runs behind our O-line that is traditionally very, very small. Up there,

he’ll be running behind humongous giants.” With a chuckle, Pinyan added, “He’ll be running into humongous giants, too.” Rankin turned into a recruiter immediately after he committed last month. “I was trying to persuade him,” Rankin said. “I was pressuring him a lot.” “He told me I might as well commit and come on,” Morris laughed. Salisbury now enters Friday’s home opener against South Rowan with two Tar Heel commitments. “It will just give us more motivation,” Rankin said. And give each of them a roommate for the next four years.
