Teacher gets probation for sex with students BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
A former North Rowan teacher and coach pleaded guilty Thursday in Rowan Superior Court to having sex with students. Matthew Miles Price, 29, was initially charged with 40 separate crimes. In a plea agreement worked out with the Rowan County District Attorney's
Matthew Price
Office, he was allowed to plead guilty to five consolidated counts. Price received five years of supervised probation. A hearing today will determine if Price will be monitored by an electronic tracking device. Assistant District Attorney Karen Biernacki prosecuted the case and offered background on how Price interacted with each of the three victims, who were students at North Rowan
High School. The first victim to come forward, Biernacki said, brought her parents to meet with the principal, assistant superintendent and Sgt. Eric Ennis of the Spencer Police Department at school in August of 2009. Biernacki said she told authorities how the relationship with Price began at an outside school function when she sat in the press box with Price. She
TO THE COUNTY LINE Downpour greets walkers at the end of adventure ANDIS — Betty Hartsell likes to drive up traffic to her store — Perry’s Olde Shoppe on North Main Street — by putting a lot of interesting yard art alongside the road. Only a short patch of pavement separates her front door from the highway, so it’s difficult to drive by, or walk past, without noticing. It also helps give the impression that a lot of interesting things are just spilling out of the store. Which is the Jon C. LaKeY/SALISBURY POST truth.

County staff members aren’t convinced that the Rowan County Rescue Squad needs its requested $68,000 budget increase, but commissioners may consider changing the county’s ambulance ordinance to give it a larger share of revenues. The rescue squad submitted its request during the fiscal year 2010-11 budget process. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners decided to wait to discuss it as an operational issue rather than a budget issue. County Board Chairman Carl Ford and Commissioner Jon Barber — the board’s liaison to the rescue squad — met with four county staff members Thursday about the request.

County Manager Gary Page, Finance Director Leslie Heidrick, Emergency Medical Services Division Chief Beth Connell and emergency services training officer Lennie Cooper were present. At the heart of the matter is peak time service to southern Rowan, which the agency has been providing for the county since November 2009. Ford said Wednesday he attended a meeting of the rescue squad last summer to talk about slow response times in the southern and eastern parts of the county. The rescue squad agreed to help with service there during the peak hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The response times have been reduced by two minutes — “Two minutes is major, and it’s been a blessing,” Ford

Stocks drop as layoffs rise unexpectedly NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks tumbled Thursday after two disappointing economic reports renewed investors’ concerns about the pace of the recovery. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 144 points as the Labor Department said initial claims for unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly last week and the Federal Reserve of Philadelphia said manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region has
dropped during August. “The Philly Fed number was just awful,� said Randy Frederick, director of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab. “The jobs number was bad, but not as far off the mark as the Philly number.� The pair of economic reports followed news that Intel Corp. was acquiring McAfee Inc. The deal, valued at $7.68 billion, was not enough to offset the impact of the weak economic readings.

Art Donaldson, who partnered with Holshouser in 1967, called Holshouser a terrific lawyer and a terrific person. “He’s a gentleman,� he said. “He hasn’t changed a bit. ... I remember when John and I were the youngest members
TEACHER FROM 1a at Price’s Spencer home. The victim told police that most of the time the sex was unprotected. Biernacki said Price told the girl to never tell anyone where she was. The girl’s parents became suspicious and confronted Price, who lied about a relationship with their daughter. The victim found out another friend of hers was also having sexual intercourse with Price, and that led to the second victim wanting to talk to authorities. “That’s when the sleaze factor of this case came about,� Biernacki said, noting the sexual acts between girls were going on during the same timeframe. The second victim spoke to Sgt. Ennis with a parent and told the same story: the relationship with Price began with talking and texting. That girl also rode around in Price’s truck, kissing and talking. Biernacki said Price asked the girl to send pictures and he also sent the girl pictures of his “privates.� The second victim told authorities the sexual intercourse happened at Price’s house once or twice every two weeks, but during the summer, they had sex in his coaching office at North
of the Bar and how all of a sudden, we’re the senior members. It went by lightning quick.� Donaldson said Holshouser has lived a good life and done a great job. “This is important for the community to know that the bench and the bar all have common goals to make the system work,� he said. “And he has made the system work.� Marlene Mills, assistant clerk to criminal Superior
Rowan. The sexual acts began in May of 2008 and ended after November when she found out about Price’s relations with the first victim. The third victim’s relationship with Price began in September of 2008 and ended Jan. 19, 2009. Biernacki said the relationship, like the others, began with text messaging and hanging out with Price in his office. Flirting began, and he asked her to send him picture messages, and he began calling her. The sexual intercourse began when she went to Price’s home. The third victim told authorities she ultimately found out about the first victim because Price talked about her a lot, saying that he “loved her and could see himself marrying her,� Biernacki said. The first victim came forward Aug. 12, 2009, the same day Price resigned. Former Spencer Police Chief Robert Bennett said Price denied the allegations and quit his job. Price was hired by the Rowan-Salisbury Schools on July 27, 2004, as a physical education teacher at North Rowan High School. During the hearing, Judge John Holshouser noted that in his entire career, he had never failed to give a prison sentence in cases such as Price’s. “I am always intolerant of older men who take some sort of liberty or engage in conduct with younger women,� Holshouser said. “Men should

Audra Lowman, criminal District Court clerk, said she remembered Holshouser reading everything in depth, and clerk Gina Huffman called Holshouser “eloquent.� “He was very passionate in all that he did,� Huffman said. “He loved what he did. He loved life.� The Honorable John W. Smith, director of the Administrative Office of the Courts for North Carolina, wrote a letter of gratitude to Holshouser for his years of service. “You have indeed served faithfully and well and we shall all miss you,� he wrote. “It’s been an honor to serve with you and I know your future will be bright.� Holshouser said he thought Thursday’s reception would be short enough for him to get back to court in the afternoon, but he said it all left him “truly overwhelmed.� “I feel like a championship prize fighter who has trained

Before he did, he asked the family members of two of the victims to stand and acknowledge that they accepted the plea. They all nodded. The father of one victim did make a brief statement, saying he would like people to pray for the families. “As difficult as it is, I pray for Mr. Price,� he added. Price’s attorney, T. Gregory Jones, said Price expressed to him “a wish to apologize to the families,� Jones said. “He’s here to accept this responsibility.� Holshouser told Price he would be a lifetime registered sex offender.

He also cannot consume alcoholic beverages and can’t volunteer for any business or organization that provides services to or employs anyone under 18. “I am not able to turn back the clocks in any of these cases,� Holshouser said. “I do have faith that time cures all.� Contact Shelley Smith, 704797-4246.

Holshouser also spoke of the reading he’s done — thousands of cases, statutes, rules, files, motions, prisoner correspondence — “the list is endless,� he said. “Finally, I have tried to reduce the things which I have read and heard to a ruling, a judgment or an order, which I believed was in the interest of justice and in keeping with the rule of law,� he said. “I have come to know the lady whom we call ‘Justice’ very well during these years.

Tour bus crash snarls I-85 traffic for hours BY SCOTT JENKINS AND JEREMY JUDD sjenkins@salisburypost.com
John Cox was sitting in traffic waiting for a wreck to clear on the Rowan County side of the Yadkin River bridge Thursday morning when he glanced up and saw a bus filling his rearview mirror. “And it did not look like he was slowing down,” Cox said Thursday night. “He was barreling down on us.” Authorities said the tour bus plowed into the line of stopped motorists, causing a chain reaction that involved eight other vehicles and shut down the southbound lanes of Interstate 85 for hours. The driver of the bus was charged. Cox, who lives in eastern Rowan, was one of five people taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center. Another was taken to Lexington
Memorial Hospital. Authorities said none had life-threatening injuries. Recuperating at home Thursday night, Cox said he was returning home from an overnight shift at his railroad job in Linwood when he rounded a curve just before the bridge and had to stop for the backed-up traffic. He was waiting in his Dodge Ram 1500 when the bus came up behind at a speed he estimated could have been 40 mph or faster. The bus hit a green Honda behind him and pushed that car under his pickup then to the side before rear-ending his truck. Cox said it happened so fast, he didn’t have time to be afraid. He put both feet on his brake pedal, pushed on it “with everything I had” and grabbed hold of his steering wheel with both hands. When the bus hit, “it was like a bowling ball down an alley,” he said. Cox said his truck has a brush guard mount-
ed on the front and that protected it. But it demolished a red Volvo that had been idling in front of him. “The front of my truck was basically sitting in his back seat,” he said. Cox got out to check on the driver of the Volvo and the occupants of three cars ahead of it. The bus was still rolling and pushing the cars. “Once the bus hit us, we did some traveling,” he said. “I don’t know exactly how far. ... It definitely moved the whole pileup down the road some.” One car, a gray Lincoln, ended up balanced on the guard rail. N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper J.M. Ward said the accident would have been much worse had that car been hit harder because it could have toppled from the bridge. Cox, who suffered a severe neck and shoul-

Students show school spirit during pep rally
Storms roll through Rowan County
BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
Heavy rains didn’t dampen the spirits of Jesse Carson High School students who packed the gym for the first pep rally of the season Thursday. A sea of orange and blue filled the stands as students chanted “it’s cougar time.” “This is a new year and we want them to know we’re coming,” teacher Jim Pope said to a screaming crowd. “We’re coming like a tsunami.”
The junior varsity and varsity cheerleading squads combined talents for the night. The cheerleaders stretched out a breakthrough banner, sponsored by Porky’s Barbecue, for the football team’s entrance.
“We’re really excited,” varsity cheerleader Emily Marohm said. “The banner is huge, it takes up the whole atrium.” Senior Heather Purvis, a colorguard leader for the marching band, said she was thrilled to
be part of something new. “This is supposed to be our year,” she said. “Usually we just have a pep rally during school, we’ve never had a pep rally before school starts, it’s fun.”

SPENCER — Hilda Palmer, the woman who ran Spencer for 27 years, has died. Palmer, 85, passed away Thursday at her home. Funeral arrangements are incomplete. Although she was born in Salisbury, Palmer’s name became almost synonymous with Spencer. T. Roy Burdette may have been mayor for 28 years, “but Hilda was in charge,” Randy Gettys said. Gettys grew up talking town politics with Palmer, who lived across the street. Palmer was probably one of the first female town managers in North Carolina. She began what was supposed to PALMER be a temporary job with the town of Spencer in 1963. By the time she retired in 1990, she had become a jack-of-all-trades, taking minutes for the Board of Aldermen and going out in the middle of the night with a map, looking for a water leak. When something went wrong, people called Palmer. Known for her attention to detail, Palmer was an “excellent town manager who always had the town’s best interest at heart,” said town clerk Lisa Perdue,
attendance learned Cain was born and raised in West Virginia, she roots for the New York Yankees and if she hadn’t chosen a career in education she would’ve pursued nursing. “When I was growing up there weren’t a lot of options, women could either be a teacher, nurse or secretary,” Cain said. “The beauty of it now is because of people like you, children can be anything.” The convocation, the first in four years, was held to get teachers excited about the new school year. “We have so much to celebrate,” Cain said. “Every single one of our schools made growth last year.”

Strong storms brought lightning, thunder and heavy rain to Rowan County on Thursday, downing power lines and trees, setting off alarms and threatening to swell streams out of their banks. Starting just before midnight Wednesday, the storms had dumped more than 2 inches of rain at the Rowan County airport by 8:40 Thursday morning and rainfall totalled nearly 3 inches there by 9 p.m. The storms tapered off midday but returned late in the afternoon with a vengeance. As lightning flashed and thunder boomed, drenching rains again fell on the county, putting Rowan under a flash flood watch. Firefighters responded to a house on Canterbury Lane that had been struck by lightning. They reported no flames but said the lightning had run in on the home’s electrical wiring. Firefighters also responded to several alarms, including one at JCPenney at the Salisbury Mall. Elsewhere in the city, a tree fell and downed power lines on the trailer section of a tractor-trailer.
Concert postponed Thursday’s weather caused organizers to postpone a downtown concert. Brick Street Live, which had been set for 5 p.m. Thursday, has been rescheduled for Sept. 30. The event, which takes place on Fisher Street just off South Main Street in downtown Salisbury, was to feature the band General Johnson and the Chairman of the Board. Ticket holders may use their admission ticket at that concert, or they can get a refund by calling Miller Davis Productions at 704-637-5363.

ABC board swears in new member BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board agreed Thursday to distribute $29,701 to the county and municipalities for the last quarter of fiscal year 2009-10. Distributions for the year ending June 30, 2010, now total a b o u t $216,000. This is a decrease from the $281,000 MCCOY given to the county and municipalities in fiscal year 2008-09, but still far more than the annual distributions for several years prior. In response to county commissioners’ requests for more distributions last year, the board is paying down its debt less aggressively to generate more money for local governments in the down economy.
The board voted at its July 22 meeting to delay a distribution commitment until an official audit report was completed. The report was under review at the time of this month’s meeting, but board members decided they had enough information to move forward. Thursday was the first meeting for Salisbury appointee David McCoy, who took the seat of former board member Marny Hendrick. McCoy was sworn in and welcomed at the meeting’s start. “We are looking forward to working with you,” said board chair Linda Lowman. Lowman was re-elected board chair on board member Ken Argo’s motion and McCoy’s second. McCoy asked several questions during the meeting, including some about the public balanced budget now required by the state. “When do we need to do that?” he said. When Lowman replied that the budget needs to be com-
pleted by June 1 of next year, McCoy suggested starting the process now. “My thought would be to initiate the budget a year earlier than we need to, just to get the kinks worked out,” he said. “I think having a budget is a real eye-opener, and it provides a good understanding of the numbers behind these numbers.” McCoy, a partner in the Salisbury accounting firm McCoy and Hillard CPA, said he could help general manager Terry Osborne create the budget. He made a motion to adopt a fiscal year 2010-11 budget, which was seconded by Argo. Argo said the board may want to get store managers involved in the budgeting process, both to help Osborne in his work and to help the managers themselves learn about their stores’ finances. “I think if these store managers and our employees feel some ownership in this, they can help us overcome some of these expenses we have and
Wagoner presented with key to city BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
Salisbury City Council presented a key to the city to former U.S. Attorney Anna Mills Wagoner for helping designate Salisbury a Project SAFE Neighborhood city. Mayor Susan Kluttz called it the “city’s highest honor.” In a response to gun violence that took several lives in 2001, Wagoner helped Salisbury become the smallest city in the program, Kluttz said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. “Hand guns were so prevalent and so easy to get,” Kluttz said. The program has included 146 first-time gun offenders and made Salisbury safer, she said. “All I did was present a concept to you all, and you took it and ran with it,” Wagoner said. “All you folks show what happens when people cooperate and leave their egos at the door.” Kluttz introduced 33 law enforcement officials, city employees, pastors and others who have guided the program. Charter members include Kluttz; Rev. Nilous Avery, Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Karen Carpenter, Youth Services Bureau; Rev. Henry Diggs, Human Relations Council; Jackie Harris, Rowan County United Way; District Attorney Bill Kenerly; William Peoples, NAACP; Hattie Steele, citizen and a victim of gun violence; David Treme and Karen Wilkinson, city of Salisbury. Project SAFE Neighborhood will host its fifth annual back-to-school family day at the J.F. Hurley YMCA, including free food, school supplies for the first 500 children and classes for parents about helping kids resist gangs and violence. In other action: • Fibrant, the city’s new fiber-optic cable utility, will offer video on demand.

BUS FROM 3a der sprain, said he’s thankful the bus didn’t push the cars farther. He crosses the Yadkin River bridge twice every work day and sees a couple wrecks a month. With lanes that funnel traffic from the interstate and no breakdown lanes, “you’ve got nowhere to go. When you’re in there, you’re in there,” he said. “That bridge is horrible.” The bus “could have easily picked one of those cars up and put it over the side,”
GEAR FROM 3a Kannapolis City Schools Board of Education Chairwoman Danita Rickard said a positive attitude and high expectations are the driving force behind the district’s success. “Growth didn’t occur because you hoped it could or thought it might, but because you expected the best from our students,” she said. “We all know that children thrive in an environment of encouragement and enthusiasm and that has been one of the hallmarks of Kannapolis City Schools.” A.L. Brown senior Jackson Boone, a tri-sport athlete and honor student, served as the keynote speaker. Boone said the warm, caring environment created by KCS educators has helped him become the person he is today. “Even when you feel like we don’t appreciate you, believe me, we do,” he said. “I would like to thank everyone

The city modified its original contract with Ericsson Federal to provide the IPTV system. The change will save the city $2 million, Crowell said. • The new Dixonville Cemetery Memorial Task Force wants help establishing a cemetery memorial for the Historic Dixonville Cemetery at 210 Old Concord Road.

he said. The state awarded a $136 million contract in April to replace the 55-year-old bridge, which is consistently ranked as one of the worst in the state. Construction is scheduled to start in October. After Thursday’s wreck, the southbound lanes of I-85 were closed for several hours, partly because a tow truck large enough to pull the bus couldn’t fit in the emergency lane and remained stuck in traffic until about 10 a.m. The driver of the bus, Hien Van Ho, 27, of Lexington, was charged with careless and reckless driving. for not only putting up with us through the thick and thin, but for proving that Kannapolis City School children can succeed.” Cain said she wants to build on the district’s success by enacting a plan for continued progress. “No matter how good you are, you can’t get where you want to be without good directions,” she said. “We need something better than a map, something that will help us face roadblocks and find our destination no matter what.” Cain said the 2010-11 strategic plan will provide that guidance. The event wrapped up with Cain proclaiming “this Carolina girl is looking forward to a wonderful school year.” Ann Rollins, a nurse with the school system’s Head Start program, said the convocation was a good way to start the year off. “I thought it was wonderful, it was very uplifting,” she said. “It really is like a big family here.” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.
PALMER FROM 3a who worked under Palmer as town bookkeeper. “She knew almost all the citizens of Spencer by heart when they came in to pay their water bill,” Perdue said. She was persistent and opinionated, said Buddy Gettys, who sometimes encountered Palmer at town board meetings after she retired when he was mayor. She was still working for her constituents, he said. “She had some ladies that she represented,” he said. Her death is a “terrible blow” to the town, said former mayor C.E. Spear, who served on the town board while Palmer was manager. “We’re all saddened,” he said. “She was really interested in Spencer, and she did a good job and made many friends.”
RALLY FROM 3a Principal Kelly Withers said it was the students’ idea toπhost the pep rally Thursday as a kick off for back to school and to recognize the teams. The Orange and Blue Crew, the school’s spirit club, organized the event. “We want to get everybody hyped,” Savanah Hinson, club vice president, said. President Brooke Hartsell said as the Orange and Blue Crew continues to add new members, it is continuing to expand its reach. “We wanted to have this pep rally so the football team will have the support of the community and the school,” she said.
get them down,” Argo said. Lowman said that while the managers currently don’t have information about salaries, wages or utility costs, they are already “very aware” of inventory expenses. “We’ve been working on that here, too, getting the inventory down,” Lowman said. “I think we’ve made progress, and we’ve come a long way with that.” Inventory was reduced compared to this month last year at all but two stores and the warehouse, and it needs to be reduced further to save money, she said. Total sales in July were $791,000, increasing 2 percent ($17,000) from $774,000 in July 2009. Bottled liquor sales increased 3 percent compared to July 2009, from about $703,000 to $724,000. Liquor by the drink sales decreased by 4 percent from about $70,000 to $67,000. Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.
Faith loses case against NCDOT The town of Faith was unsuccessful in its bid for reimbursement from the North Carolina Department of Transportation to repair water lines. Town officials traveled to Charlotte for an arbitration hearing Wednesday. “One of our key witnesses was unable to be present for the trial due to sickness,” Alderman Mark Shores said Thursday. “Although all of the facts were presented by those of us who were present, the testimony of this key witness seemed to be necessary to solidify the case. “It was truly unfortunate that even though the facts were clear, the Judge ruled in favor of the State based on the technicality.” According to Town Clerk Karen Fink, during the widening of Mt. Hope Church Road, formerly Brown Street, the state DOT damaged water lines, creating a disruption of service. The incident occurred during construction between 2003 and 2005. The damage to the water lines cost the town between $7,000 and $8,000. Fink said there will be no further financial impact to the town. The cost to repair the lines was absorbed by the town's water fund in 2004. "We just wanted to recoup that expense," she said. She ran the town efficiently and treated people fairly, he said. “In a position like that, naturally some people don’t agree with you, but she tried to treat everyone the same,” Spear said. Palmer tightly gripped the town’s purse strings. She handled day-to-day operations, as well as setting direction for the town board. She was known for keeping three pairs of shoes under her desk. A comfortable pair for wearing in the office, a “vanity pair” reserved for greeting salesmen, and a pair of flats for any “ditchy, muddy place,” she told the Post in 1973. The town celebrated Hilda Palmer Day on Aug. 5, 1990. “Spencer has benefitted a great deal by having someone who cared that much,” Randy Gettys said. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264. Ruth Marohm, Orange and Blue Crew advisor, helped the students plan the event. Withers said having the pep rally before school begins Wednesday was appropriate because nearly every team begins play before the start of school. The school used ConnectEd, an automated phone system, to notify students and staff of the pep rally. Don Mitchell was the emcee for the event, introducing the cheerleaders, marching band, football team and coaches. “This is really going to get us pumped,” varsity defensive tackle Antonio Jeremiah Smith said. The Cougars will play host to Hickory Ridge High School at 7:30 p.m. today. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

‘Taking Back Our Streets’ event this weekend in East Spencer BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
A community event in East Spencer this weekend aims to help the town’s youth and energize the community. “Taking Back Our Streets: Action with a Purpose” will be held at the Paul Laurence Dunbar Center, located at 820 S. Long St. It was organized by Sherri Hill and a committee of members of Mt. Olive Full Gospel Baptist Church, Love Christian Center, Southern City Tabernacle A.M.E. Zion Church. Hill grew up in East Spencer, and she says she is saddened by the lack of opportunities and activities for children in the town. “My hope is to bring awareness to the community that there’s a strong need to provide resources for youth,” Hill said. “Let’s provide support for kids and resources to show them they can make a change... and to just get people involved in the community.”
The event will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Dunbar Center with a proclamation from the East Spencer Town Board of Aldermen and a poem about the history of East Spencer. From 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday, family friendly activities for all ages will be available, including a presentation by the “bug lady” and face painting. Christian and gospel music will be played by a DJ. Free clothing and school supplies will be available for children and teenagers, and prizes will be given out. The East Spencer aldermen and mayor have donated food for the event. Various Rowan County agencies will provide information the public, and some also will send representatives to talk to community members about their programs and resources. For teenagers ages 12-19, a free basketball clinic will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. by coach Andrew Mitchell and minister Alan Hines. A 3-on-3 basketball tournament will follow at 5 p.m. Free registra-
tion for the tournament is open until 2 p.m., and those participating in the tournament do not need to attend the clinic. Awards will be given. In conjunction with Saturday’s event, the Men’s Mentoring Community Ministry at Southern City Tabernacle A.M.E. Zion Church will provide free haircuts for boys and hair styles for girls at the church. According to organizer Michael Mitchell, children who want to get haircuts must be present to receive a ticket, but have from Aug. 21 to 25 to redeem them for free cuts. Barbers will also be on hand to cut hair at the event. The first 15 boys and girls will receive on-site haircuts and styles. Fifty additional tickets will be available for boys’ cuts and 15 additional tickets will be available for girls’ styles. The men’s ministry also will have a bounce house available for children, as well as other activities, resources and educational opportunities for families.
On Sunday, guest speaker Brian Long will give a gang awareness presentation from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Dunbar Center. Long is an ex-gang member from New York who turned his life around after going to prison, Hill said. He now speaks to different groups about what drew him into the gang life, what he experienced once he got there and why he got out. “He helps the adults understand why children go toward gangs and

Salisbury Academy looks forward to new year Salisbury Academy looks forward to beginning the new school year with many new students. Enrollment is growing, as are the school’s connections to more areas of town and surrounding counties. The school is enjoying the benefits of specialized attention from Dr. Jean Owen, a Consultant for Curriculum and Instruction. Dr. Owen’s contribution to the program has paid off immensely, and Diane Fisher, Head of School, has created a strong network for faculty, students and parents. “It’s the shared understanding of the learning process that is so beneficial,” said Fisher. “Clear and constant communication between home and school is so important. “We stress communication, welcome it, and seek it if we don’t hear from parents.” Professional development is also a very important element in successful schools. Staying current on best teaching practices and available tools is essential in today’s world, and Salisbury Academy makes time for it weekly. Combining new techniques with proven
strategies makes for a superb learning environment. Salisbury Academy uses the Core Knowledge Sequence developed by E.D. Hirsh to deliver curriculum in a logical way that is developmentally appropriate. Field trips, hands-on projects, and guest speakers bring the curriculum to life for the students. Strong study habits and student ownership of the learning process are valuable components at Salisbury Academy and are important lessons for success in any school or profession. Using our community’s resources teaches the students the value of community relationships. Catawba College’s Center for the Environment, the Rowan Museum, Waterworks Visual Arts Center, and the Rowan Public Library are a few organizations with which the school enjoys symbiotic relationships. Something that sets Salisbury Academy apart is the “All Kinds of Minds” approach to meeting different learning styles in every classroom. Last year the school hosted a seminar on the subject, drawing educators from across the state.
Teachers at Salisbury Academy are trained to understand individual student needs, to meet students “where they are,” and to help students learn in the ways that they learn best. The generosity of parents and other friends of the school supported technology advances for this year. New equipment has been purchased to be used in every classroom of the school, benefitting every student. In addition to an existing computer lab and classroom desktop computers, newly purchased wireless mini-laptops will allow students to access the internet anywhere in the school and will greatly enhance teachers’ lessons. Beverly Fowler leads the school’s Technology Committee working with teachers to further integrate technology in the classrooms, and Jenny Craft is the school’s Technology Coordi-
nator. The school has been selected as a beta test site for the city’s new Fibrant fiber optic network. All teachers and staff will return to Salisbury Academy this year with the addition of two new assistants. Kathey Fisher is joining the staff as the assistant for first grade with over 30 years of experience in classroom teaching. Fisher graduated from UNCCharlotte with a degree in Education. She also has certificates in Language Arts and English as a Second Language from UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, and Catawba College. Fisher and husband, Allen, have two children. Margaret Branning joined the staff in the spring as the assistant for second grade. Branning is a graduate of UNC-Charlotte where she studied political science. Prior to joining us, Branning lived and worked in Washington, D.C. and

Last combat brigade heads home from Iraq KHABARI CROSSING, Kuwait (AP) — A line of heavily armored American military vehicles, their headlights twinkling in the pre-dawn desert, lumbered past the barbed wire and metal gates marking the border between Iraq and Kuwait early Thursday and rolled into history. For the troops of the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, it was a moment of relief fraught with symbolism but lightened by the whoops and cheers of soldiers one step closer to going home. Seven years and five months after the U.S.-led invasion, the last American combat brigade was leaving Iraq, well ahead of President Barack Obama’s Aug. 31 deadline for ending U.S. combat operations there. The brigade was officially designated the last combat brigade to leave Iraq
under the plan to end combat operations in Iraq by Aug. 31. When 18-year-old Spc. Luke Dill first rolled into Iraq as part of the U.S. invasion, his Humvee was so vulnerable to bombs that the troops lined its floor with flak jackets. Now 25 and a staff sergeant after two tours of duty, he rode out of Iraq this week in a Stryker, an eight-wheeled behemoth encrusted with armor and addons to ward off grenades and other projectiles. “It’s something I’m going to be proud of for the rest of my life — the fact that I came in on the initial push and now I’m leaving with the last of the combat units,” he said. He remembered three straight days of mortar attacks outside the city of Najaf in 2003, so noisy that after the firing
ended, the silence kept him awake at night. He recalled the night skies over the northern city of Mosul being lit up by tracer bullets from every direction. Now, waiting for him back in Olympia, Wash., is the Harley-Davidson he purchased at a U.S. base in Iraq — a vivid illustration of how embedded the American presence has become since the invasion of March 20, 2003. Scatterings of troops still await departure, and some 50,000 will stay another year in what is designated as a noncombat role. They will carry weapons to defend themselves and accompany Iraqi troops on missions (but only if asked). Special forces will continue to help Iraqis hunt for terrorists. So the U.S. death toll — at least 4,415 by Pentagon count as of Wednesday — may not yet be final.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — April Oles-Magdzas was due to give birth to her second daughter Wednesday, a little more than a year after she and her Iraq war veteran husband became new parents. But when Oles-Magdzas’ mother showed up that day at the couple’s home in Superior, she found the entire family dead of an apparent murder-suicide. Superior police said Thursday that Matthew Magdzas, a 23-year-old Wisconsin National Guard soldier who earned
a combat badge in the Iraq war, shot and killed his pregnant wife, their 13-month-old daughter Lila, and their three dogs before turning the gun on himself. Investigators believe the killings occurred Tuesday afternoon, but like friends of the couple, they are still wondering why. Police Capt. Chad La Lor told the Associated Press that Magdzas did not leave behind a suicide note, and that investigators have found no evidence the couple had money

Saudi justice: damage to spine as punishment for paralyzing man CAIRO (AP) — A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals in the country whether they could damage a man’s spinal cord as punishment after he was convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralyzing him, the brother of the victim said Thursday. Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralyzed and subsequently lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago. He asked a judge in northwestern Tabuk province to impose an equivalent punishment on his attacker under Islamic law, his brother Khaled al-Mutairi told The Associated Press by telephone. He said one of the hospitals, located in Tabuk, responded that it is possible to damage the spinal cord, but it added that the operation would have to be done at another more specialized facility. Saudi newspapers reported that a second hospital in the capital Riyadh declined, saying it could not inflict such harm.
Study finds Gulf oil plume isn’t going away, just can’t be seen
CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) — Martha’s Vineyard is barely an hour’s flight from Washington, but it felt worlds away as President Barack Obama and his family began their summer vacation amid the island’s beaches and quaint farmhouses. Instead of politicians and polls, the Obamas encountered pony farms and ponds. Instead of filibusters, the Vineyard offers fishing. Obama fired one parting shot at the GOP before leaving town, accusing them of blocking a Senate vote on a small business aid package ahead of crucial midterm elections. “It’s obstruction that stands in the way of small business owners getting the loans and the tax cuts that they need to prosper,� the president said. “It’s obstruction that defies common sense.�
WASHINGTON (AP) — The oil is there, at least 22 miles of it. You just can’t see it. A lot of the crude that spewed from BP’s ruptured well is still in the Gulf of Mexico, but it’s far below the surface and invisible. And it’s likely to linger for months on end, scientists said Thursday in the first conclusive evidence of an underwater plume of oil from the disaster. The plume consists of droplets too small for the eye to see, more than a half-mile down, said researchers who mapped it with high-tech sensors. In the cold, 40-degree water, the oil is degrading at one-tenth the pace at which it breaks down at the surface. That means “the plumes could stick around for quite a while,� said Ben Van Mooy of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, a co-author of the research, published online in the journal Science.

The State Department said an agreement was “very, very close� but that details were still being worked out. An announcement could come today or Saturday, said administration
MADRID (AP) — A bull leaped into the packed grandstands of a Spanish bullring Wednesday and ran amok, charging and trampling spectators and leaving 40 people injured. Video showed the bull jumping several yards high out of the ring, clearing two barriers before landing in the stands. Handlers got the bull under control and it was later killed.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — An American Airlines flight bound for New York City was halted just before takeoff Thursday after someone called in a threat against the jetliner that was later described by the FBI as noncredible. Still, the threat rattled nerves and marked the latest in a series of airline scares. A witness said two passengers in the back row attracted suspicion after the threat was reported and were taken off the plane in handcuffs. But a law enforcement official later said no one was in custody. American Airlines Flight 24 had been scheduled to take off at 7:30 a.m. Thursday at San Francisco International Airport and was grounded around 10 a.m. after a late departure from the gate. Passengers were removed from the plane and taken by buses to a terminal where they went back through security. It was not clear if it was a bomb or hijacking threat, but a second federal law enforcement official who received an investigative update on the case says it was not a credible one. The threat report originated from a clerk at a business in Alameda, a city across San Francisco Bay from the airport, said Lt. Bill Scott. The clerk called dispatchers at Alameda Police Department shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday and said her business had received an anonymous phone call “making a threat specifically about Flight 24,� Scott said.

Prepare lawn for fall renovation August is the time to prepare for fescue lawn renovation in September. September is the best time to fertilize and reseed fescue or cool season lawns in Rowan County. But certain preparations now will make the renovation process more successful. Now is the time to have your soil tested. This is still a free service that eliminates the DARRELL in deterBLACKWELDER guesswork mining nutrients needed for maximum turf growth. An overwhelming majority of people with lawn problems fail to have their soil tested to determine the correct fertilization practices. The North Carolina Department of Agriculture tests soil as a free service to residents of North Carolina. The sample kits are available from Cooperative Extension and some garden centers in Rowan

Crabgrass and bermuda grass can infest fescue lawns. County. Results arrive in a few weeks to provide homeowners with detailed information to correct soils with nutritional problems. Don’t bring the soil to the Extension Office; the soil is sent via mail or UPS to the N.C. Department of Agriculture in Raleigh for analysis. Home lawns and other crop soils should be tested every two to three years for maximum growth and use of fertilizers. Summer weeds are a major problem in fescue lawns. In some instances, it’s best to kill the entire lawn and start over if the lawn is
predominantly weeds. Herbicides containing glyphosate (Roundup) kill unwanted grasses and weeds to the root. Bermuda grass, crabgrass and other weeds need to be sprayed now. Bermuda grass is a major problem perennial grass that is difficult to control. Bermuda grass should be sprayed now, since this grass grows best at high summer temperatures. Glyphosate translocates to the root tips of plants, eliminating water uptake, killing the plant. As the weather begins to cool in late Sep-
tember, glyphosate will lose its effectiveness. An early August application allows the homeowner another opportunity to reapply weed killers to areas that may have been treated with a previous spray. Lawns or weed-infested areas in lawns that are completely killed are much easier to till or core-aerate. This is important because areas that are completely bare provide an optimum seedbed for fertilizers and emerging grass seed. Blocking off rectangular sections works best for renovation projects
because it helps facilitate correct measurement. Lawn renovation time is just a few weeks away. The seeding window for fescue and other cool season grasses is fairly narrow, so those who plan to renovate this fall need to prepare this month. Time has a way of slipping up on us each fall.

a new ‘purple’ crape myrtle is gaining popularity with homeowners.
Choose the right crape myrtle for the space BY CAROLYN ALEXANDER For the Salisbury Post
The Rowan County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Association is having a camellia and crape myrtle sale this fall. The plants were selected based on their size, flower color, hardiness and suitability for a variety of landscape situations. All plants are locally grown and are acclimated for our area. Crape myrtles need full sun to perform at their best. We have selected a variety of sizes so you can pick a size to fit your landscape. The smallest variety is Chickasaw, which stays less than 2 feet tall, and the largest is Dynamite, which will grow to 20 feet. Crape myrtles should never be pruned severely. As you look around the area, you will notice that the ones that have been cut back to the trunk have very few blooms. It will take several years for the tree to recover after such a severe pruning, or “crape murder” as we like to call it. Sometimes the whole tree will die. Therefore, it is important to plant one that will fit the location. The crape myrtle varieties offered: • Acoma is a small tree growing to 10 feet tall. It has white flowers in mid-June and purple-red foliage in the fall. • Chickasaw grows to 2 feet tall and has pink-lavender
in late July. Its fall foliage is yelloworange. The crape myrtles come in 3 gallon containers and will sell for $15 each. Camellias grow best with morning sun and afternoon shade in slightly acidic soil. Again, it is best to choose a variety that will not outgrow the location and require heavy pruning. We have chosen varieties that grow from approximately 5 feet to about 15 Don’t cut a crape myrtle all the way back. feet tall.

William Lanier Hunt has pink, 3- to 4-inch, loose peony form blooms in early fall. Its growth rate is medium and it gets approximately 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide. The camellia plants are $10 each, two for $18 or three for $25. Orders for crape myrtles and camellias must be received by Sept. 24. Tentative pickup dates are Oct. 14 and 15. You will be contacted by email or phone for exact plant pickup date and time. Plants need to be picked up at the Cooperative Extension Office. Cash in the exact amount and checks payable to MGVA will be accepted. Orders will be taken by Extension Master Gardener Volunteers or by calling the extension office at 704-216-8970. For further information and to see pictures of the crape myrtles and camellias, go to www.rowanmastergardener. com.

Kilt-wearing minister could cause problems Dear Amy: I am getting married next year. I am agnostic and my fiance is a Christian but he’s going through some issues with his faith. Neither of us wants a religious ceremony. His dad and stepmom are extremely religious, and I respect their faith. I bow my head at prayer and I am very open to what they have to say about their beliefs. I am also ASK very honest AMY with them about how I feel about religion, and they have been respectful of me as well. Unfortunately, they are not as understanding toward my fiance. They sometimes say things to him that make him very uncomfortable. They have been asking us who will be officiating at the wedding. His stepmom told me this is the only fear they have about the wedding. My fiance and I want a very casual wedding and we have asked one of our friends to get ordained (online) so he can perform the ceremony. He has agreed. This friend has many visible tattoos and will most like-
the reception.
ly be wearing a kilt to the ceremony. We think my fiance’s parents will be extremely upset, and we don’t know how to tell them the news. We want to give his dad the opportunity to say something at the wedding or give a speech at the reception. Any advice on how to handle this delicate situation? — Respectful Bride Dear Bride: Hike up your kilt and wade right in. You know in advance that this plan will disappoint your future in-laws. You like and respect them; in addition to that, candor is all you have going for you at this point. You and your fiance should tell them exactly what you have planned. Acknowledge their disappointment by saying, “We know this isn’t what you have in mind for us, but we hope you’ll respect our choice. We appreciate it so much.” If you want to invite your future father-in-law to speak at the ceremony, realize that this might put him in an awkward position; leave the choice up to him. Expect family and friends to toast you at
Dear Amy: My 59-year-old boyfriend of two years was in a motorcycle accident caused by a car more than a year ago. He wasn’t seriously hurt and was well compensated through insurance. He told me that he recently followed the woman who caused the accident. He said he knew where she worked, so he waited and followed her to her home. When I asked him why he would go to such lengths, he said he wanted to see if she had “changed her ways.” I find this disturbing. He is a stable person but seems to have a vindictive side. Your thoughts? — Judy Dear Judy: I agree with you that this is troubling, but how disturbing it is should be gauged according to degrees. If he happened to see this woman driving down the street and decided to follow her for a few blocks, that’s one thing. But he deliberately waited and then stalked her to her home. This was premeditated and it is creepy. If you suspect he contin-
ues to stalk her, you should warn her immediately — she should contact the police. If this guy has a “vindictive side,” you need only to imagine how he would behave if you disappointed him, made a mistake or made him angry. I suggest you leave this relationship. Dear Amy: “Fed Up” wrote to you about her boyfriend, who is a “mean drunk.” We were close friends
with a couple just like Fed Up and her boyfriend for more than 10 years. We suffered through years of mean “jokes” that got meaner and more frequent (with alcohol and without). We, and many other friends, finally had to withdraw completely from this couple’s life with much pain and sorrow. The behavior will get worse and Fed Up will be out in the cold if she stays with this man. — Learned Our Lesson
Dear Learned: I have heard from many readers who have suffered in the presence of a “mean drunk.” Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N.

Patrol needs more policing he Highway Patrol has been wracked by numerous scandals this year, and the patrol commander is scheduled to leave office on Sept. 1. Gov. Beverly Perdue has appointed a special panel to study the patrol’s organizational problems and, during their first meeting, panel members discussed moving more leaders to the front. The patrol has a good many high-ranking officers serving in Raleigh offices. ... The panel was interested in 18 of those officers. If the 18 were transferred back to the field, the ratio of officers to field supervisors would drop dramatically. Subsequently, each patrol supervisor would be responsible for only eight troopers. Many of the embarrassing incidents involving in-the-field troopers look very much like the product of insufficient supervision. While the panel did not officially endorse the idea of moving the 18 officers out of Raleigh, their conversation appeared to be mostly positive on it. Such a shake-up would almost certainly ruffle some feathers in the patrol’s leadership. A move back to the field will mean uprooting families, and some officers would be likely to see it as a demotion. But the officers would not be demoted. That’s an important distinction. They would be returned to jobs they were trained to do: Serve the public in the field and lead others. ... This won’t be the last idea from the special panel. But it’s a good start.

A million saved ... he federal government has dropped a pile of cash, $300 million to be precise, on North Carolina for the purpose of saving teaching jobs. Fortunately, it's not an emergency situation, as most local systems, with state help, have avoided big layoffs. So now state officials are asking themselves: What do we do with this money? Since the deadline for spending the money isn't until Sept. 12, 2012, here’s a thought: Save it. That is, the state budget will continue to be breathing hard next year. It would be nice to have some education money to fall back on if the predictions of shortfalls turn out to be accurate. Put another way, when is it not a good idea to save for a rainy day? And more stormy weather is in the economic forecast.

Common sense
(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)
“An apology is a good way to have the last word.”
BY DIANA WEST Newspaper Enterprise Association
tonings at Ground Zero — that’ll be the day, right? The concept has no manifestation beyond the cold sweat of a dark-hours nightmare. Still, there’s something worth gleaning from the notso-free association process that inspired it. It clicked when I read a riveting investigation by Christine Brim at BigPeace.com into scrubbed website material of the Cordoba Initiative, the Internet home of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, he of the Ground Zero Mosque. In this trove of information, curiously deleted from the current Cordoba Initiative website, lie clues to Rauf’s long-term program, the Shariah Index Project, whose “goal,” as stated in the “hidden” material, is to “define, interpret and implement the concept of the Islamic state in modern times.” What is Shariah? It is the body of sacred laws that regulates public and private life in Islam. How does the Shariah Index Project fit into the planned mosque complex? Very easily, argues Brim. After accounting for the 13-story building’s stated uses, from its mosque to its athletic and other facilities, Brim identified six undesignated stories. That’s a lot of empty office space. But with its global spread, the Shariah Index Project just might be the perfect tenant. Since 2006, Rauf has coordinated a series of international meetings with Shariah experts ranging from Muslim Brotherhood associates to Iran’s Mohammad Javad Larijani,
S
associated press
imam Feisal abdul rauf, executive director of the cordoba initiative, makes a presentation on the cordoba House. “who,” as Brim reports, “has justified torture of Iranian dissidents as legal punishments under Shariah law.” That’s not all. Larijani, who heads Iran’s Human Rights Council (for real), has justified Shariah-sanctioned stoning. As Anne Bayefsky recently reported, Rauf’s picture with Larijani disappeared from the Cordoba Initiative website, too. So much to hide — but the Shariah is out of the bag. What would expanding Shariah mean here? More halal-butchered livestock leading, as in Europe, to halal-only menus? More midnight football practice during Ramadan? More sex-segregated swimming pools? More incitement to jihad in “radical” mosques? More “apostates” living in fear? More self-censorship, I mean “respect,” when it comes to discussing Islam? An excellent benchmark of Shariah’s remarkable and, think of it, post-9/11 progress is that none of the above mani-
festations of Islamic law — all designed to sync society with Islamic practice — are shocking to us. Indeed, marital rape, permissible in Shariah culture wherever it spreads, got a “religious” pass from a New Jersey judge last month (overturned by an appellate court). Death by stoning, however, still seems to take everybody’s breath away as those who read about last weekend’s Taliban stoning in Afghanistan, I hope, would agree. In brief, a couple — he, 25, married and with 2 kids; she, 19 — eloped before being lured to return to their town. They were then seized by the Taliban, who, as the New York Times reported, convened a Shariah court of mullahs from surrounding villages. Verdict? Guilty. More than 200 local villagers, including family members, proceeded to stone the couple to death. “People were very happy seeing this,” a local told the paper, who described a “festive”
atmosphere. “Let me tell you that according to Shariah law, if someone commits a crime like that, we have our courts and we deal with such crimes based on Islamic law,” said a Taliban spokesman. The paper noted: “Perhaps most worrisome were signs of support for the action from mainstream religious authorities in Afghanistan.” “Worrisome,” indeed — particularly to American soldiers advised to remove their protective ballistic glasses and get to know these people. (Repeat after me, as Gen. Petraeus says: “The human terrain is the decisive terrain.”) Still, Kunduz Province is not Lower Manhattan. Why the bad dreams about stoning? I promised a study in free association. Imam Rauf’s efforts to advance Shariah law, which sanctions stoning, have involved Iran’s “human rights” chief, a public advocate of stoning. What next sprang to mind was the polished and educated form of Tariq Ramadan, the celebrated European Muslim “moderate” and grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna. Why? Infamously, Ramadan has refused to condemn stoning, calling merely for a “moratorium.” Once, Ramadan’s “moderate” stoning position stood out; now it fits into the nightmare — only not for Ramadan, or Rauf or Larijami. For them, at Ground Zero and elsewhere, the Shariah dream continues. • • • Diana West writes for United Feature Syndicate.
Yes: These foes of terrorism want to build bridges, too he question of the week in Washington is whether President Obama will pay a political price for defending the right of New York Muslims to build a religious center near Ground Zero. The answer is probably yes, but there’s a more important question. Are the critics of the center encouraging America’s enemies and undermining our national security? The answer to that one is definitely yes. Those critics — mainly Republicans, but including some cowering Democrats like Senate leader Harry Reid — are playing COKIE AND a cynical and dangerSTEVE ROBERTS ous game, stirring up xenophobic fears for short-term political gains. Take Newt Gingrich, who is clearly running for president and trying to attract attention. “We’d be quite happy to have a mosque built near the World Trade Center,” he says, “the morning one church and one synagogue are opened in Mecca.” What? Our standard for religious tolerance in America is now set by Saudi Arabia? Does Gingrich understand anything about the country he wants to lead? Then there’s the argument that Obama is “turning a deaf ear” to public opinion. Yes, the latest CNN poll shows two out of three Americans against the mosque, but that number is partly based on false impressions. The mosque will be a small part of a large building housing such subversive facilities as swimming pools and daycare centers. Even if public opinion opposes the mosque, should that be the basis for a decision? The essence of democracy is not majority rule but minority rights. Liberty in this country should not be subject to polls or even votes. But standing up for unpopular minorities is an unpopular po-
T
sition right now. America is going through a nasty period — all too common in our history — of blaming our troubles on foreigners. The Arizona law cracking down on undocumented workers is one example; so is the opposition to an Islamic center in the Tennessee town of Murfreesboro. As one protestor told a public meeting there in June, “Everybody knows they’re trying to kill us. Somebody has to stand up and take this country back.” That’s a ridiculous statement, easy to dismiss and disregard, except for one thing. It reflects an attitude that’s deeply damaging to America’s national interest, especially at a time when we have troops on the ground in two Muslim countries. Critics like Gingrich, and that woman in Murfreesboro, are accepting and encouraging Al Qaida’s worldview — that there is a holy war going on between the East and West, Islam and Christianity. Obama has consistently battled against that view: pointing to his middle name, his Muslim relatives and his time in the Islamic world. He has identified with peace-loving Muslims and tried to mar-
ginalize the extremists. “Al Qaida is not Islam,” he said at a White House dinner marking Ramadan, “it’s a gross distortion of Islam.” Not all Muslim leaders have been quick enough to condemn violence. But the tragedy here is that the leaders who want to build the mosque in New York are outspoken foes of terrorism and committed to cementing relations with other religions. Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, and wife of the imam who heads the project, told the news program “Democracy Now”: “We have been in the bridge-building business for a long time.” In fact, she said, the idea for the center grew out of talks with Jewish and Christian leaders who urged Muslims to develop institutions comparable to YMCAs and Jewish community centers. That’s the way to connect to a community and gain acceptance, notes Khan: “Once you go from a place of worship to an institute that serves the general public is when that faith becomes Americanized.” But instead of supporting that process of Americanization, and encouraging mainstream Muslims, foes of the center refuse to see a difference between “the religion of Islam (and) the actions of the extremists” that brought down the twin towers, says Khan. The result: reinforcing Al Qaida’s propaganda “that the United States is hostile to Islam (and) strengthening the hand of the extremists, who are the very people we are all trying to stand against.” She’s right. The foes of the Islamic center are not fighting our enemies but helping them. Helping them to demonize America, recruit terrorists and organize the resistance that threatens our soldiers abroad and our security at home. All for a few votes, or a few minutes on TV. Shame on them. • • • Steve and Cokie Roberts write for Newspaper Enterprise Association.

Take America back Tuesday night, I attended the Rowan County Tea Party Patriots meeting and found something that I never thought possible. Someone worse for
Rowan County than Leda Belk. Bill Burgin admitted favoring forced annexation in Rowan County. He, much like Mayor Kluttz, believes they should do it “because we can.” But this is no surprise as Burgin is the typical Democratic liberal, just like we presently have in Washington, D.C., who push their own agenda, rather than the will of the people. If you want Rowan County to be like the mess we have in Washington vote for Burgin and Belk, who are minor league “Obamas.” If you want some say so, in Rowan County or America, vote no to both. Take America back; vote for candidates who will do the will of the majority, not the will of themselves. — Danny Warren Gold Hill

A WALK ACROSS ROWAN
King brothers grew up in the auto body shop business BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
KANNAPOLIS — Butch King acts as though his 1935 Chevy is nothing special. He refers to it as simply his daily driving car. His personalized license plate tries to reinforce that low-key approach. All it says is, “OLD CAR.” “Old car, young driver, is that what it is?” a friend asked when he noticed the tag Thursday afternoon. King agreed with a grunt. KING He was preoccupied in rummaging through his car — which is beautifully restored, by the way — to locate a couple of King’s Auto Body T-shirts for Post photographer Jon Lakey and me. Butch and his younger brother, Barry, run the body shop which their father, Z.V. King,

“The business has always kept us going, which is fortunate,” Butch said. The shop strives to produce the highest quality work, and Butch said customers compliment them for having one of nicest shops around. “I think it’s awful nice of them to say that,” Butch added. “... The Lord has been very good to us.” King’s Auto Body Co. employs 10. Butch likes to brag on computerized four-wheel alignment and expert frame work the shop provides, as part of its full spectrum of paint and body work. King’s also has 24-hour wrecker service and a rollback. Over the years, their father’s original building has seen two additions. Butch King’s quick tour through the facility reveals just how big it is, as he goes from section to section. C.J. is the shop dog — “a 10-year-old fat girl,” Butch said.
“We tell people she’s vicious,” he added of C.J., who hardly moved when Jon and I walked into the office. “She’s watching you.” She seemed to be sleeping. Barry King drives a 1969 Mustang that is his pride and joy. Butch, who is so humble about his car, spares no praise for his younger brother’s ride. “His Mustang is nice, seriously nice,” he said. Butch found the T-shirts he was looking for in his car. He wanted Jon and me to have the shirts before we continued our walk toward the Cabarrus County line. He judged my size at extra large; Jon, a large. I held up my blue King’s Auto Body T-shirt to get a better look. On the back were drawings of two cars: Barry’s 1969 Mustang and, yes, that other old car, the 1935 Chevy. Finally, I thought, the car is getting its due. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

FROM 1a Street in Kannapolis and pulled his Toyota truck into a parking lot we were just leaving. “I saw you guys, and I said, ‘I bet you’re the walking guys,” he said, exiting his truck. Stafford, 79, has been retired for 17 years after a 46-year career at Plant No. 1 in Kannapolis. His wife retired in 2000 from the mill, three years before it shut down for good. “I’m really dressed to garden,” he apologized. “I didn’t know you guys would be out there. I just got my turnip patch in, and this rain ought to really make it go.”
At lunchtime, Jeremy Gill had exited a side door at Turning House Millworks and was enjoying a smoke. He also was waiting for a ride to take him to the bank. It would have to be quick. His lunch break was only 30 minutes. Gill said he started working at Turning House about two weeks ago and had just been paid. We said our goodbyes and walked on. I looked over my shoulder a minute later and saw him getting into a car.
We ran into Todi Ward not long after she had opened the front door to the Players Sports Bar and Club at noon. She invited us inside for a look at the place. “A lot of changes have been made and will continue to be made,” Ward said. Ward had an interesting life story. In capsule, she and her sister lived in foster homes for much of their childhood after their father was killed in a train accident in 1973. Ward ended up in Phoenix, but four years ago, she returned here to reconnect with her mother, cousins, aunts and uncles. She and her 15-year-old son intend to stay. Meanwhile, her sister has married an attorney and is living in Michigan. They talk by telephone every day.

Things were slow for Tim Dietz Thursday morning at Landis Auto, a place owned by Robert Richards that offers tune-ups, oil changes, tire rotations and other general maintenance services. The rain didn’t help. “You have to deal with the weather and the people not wanting to come out,” Dietz said. A young clerk from Advance Auto Sales, located just south of Landis Auto, roared into the parking lot in his Mustang. He carried a couple of cases of oil for Dietz. “When do you get parts delivered in something like this?” Dietz said of the boy’s snazzy ride. “All he needs are the Advance 85. “The young people today don’t decals on the side.” come to a little town like this.” Talbert still has some work, such as jewelry repair and engraving, but he’s not kidding himself. “I just come up here now for the fun of it,” he said. “This is to have something to do.” Talbert was stricken with polio at age 2, but that didn’t prevent him from helping on the family farm, nor following his father’s path and getting into the jewelry business.

FUNDING FROM 1a said — but call volume has not met expectations. Instead of three or four calls per day from that area, the rescue squad is getting only one or two. The agency requested an increase of $68,000 to cover the revenue shortfall. Ford, Barber and staff members discussed the possibility of bringing the south Rowan peak time EMS service in-house at Thursday’s meeting. At a previous meeting of the group on Aug. 12 — which also included emergency services director Frank Thomason — Heidrick was asked to compare the costs of using the rescue squad for the southern Rowan service with those of using the county’s own

Standing outside his train shop in Landis, Freeze said it took him an hour and 40 minutes to drive from his home in Welcome. "They’ve got every road closed up through there," said Freeze, who tried all the alternative routes he could think of. His hobby shop, Chuck’s Trains, has been open to the public in Landis about five years, though Freeze has been in the building about eight. In the beginning, he was content attending only model train shows and operating as a mail-order business. Now he does a lot of business through his web site and says the walk-in traffic to the store is pretty good. He and his wife, Deanna, still attend weekend shows, and those start in earnest again in September. Freeze will be going to places such as Virginia Beach, Myrtle Beach and Atlanta. “The store stays busy,” Freeze said, “but I have to admit, most of the people aren’t from Landis.”
emergency services department. Heidrick said her calculations of revenues and expenditures in the first six months of 2010 show the rescue squad should finish the year with about $1,900 in excess revenue. According to those calculations, a budget increase wouldn’t be needed to sustain the south Rowan service. “Coyt (Karriker, rescue squad chief) said to me several times, ‘I just want to be able to break even on that route,’ ” Heidrick said. She said Karriker agrees generally with her numbers but says he took other variables into consideration when judging the shortfall. At its current funding level, Heidrick said, the rescue squad is a more cost-effective and self-sustaining option for the south Rowan service. She projected that revenues paid to the rescue squad by the county will total about $65,000. To provide similar
Unlike many other businessmen we’ve talked to in our trip across Rowan County, Freeze said things are going pretty well for him. “Hobbies thrive during a depression,” he said.
Jon and I had the hot dog special at the Landis Dairy Bar — four hots dogs for $3.99. I added a banana milkshake. The Landis Dairy Bar is an institution, dating back, owner Sachin Valia said, to 1961. Valia sat at our booth for a minute and told us how he originally bought the dairy bar with the intention of tearing it down for parking. He wanted to expand the Exxon side of his building next door and add a Subway restaurant. But it would require more parking. Valia learned quickly that a lot of people were emotionally attached to the dairy bar. “They said, ‘Don’t do it, this is our history,’” he recalled. “A lot of stories were so touching, we decided not to do it.”
response times in the same area, the county’s emergency services department would need about $76,000. Heidrick said the difference is largely due to higher wages for county employees. In addition, bringing the service inhouse would require a one-time cost of $25,000. “So we’re back to where we were,” Barber said. “Do we keep working with the rescue squad or bring it in-house?” Page replied, “Overall, it’s cheaper for us to do it with them.” Another option, Page said, is for commissioners to change the county’s ambulance ordinance that gives ambulance franchises 75 percent of revenues they generate. An increase to 90 percent, for example, would give the rescue squad another estimated $13,000 per year. “Whether we’re giving more money or taking it in-house, we pay for it
“Check,” Justin Bailey said, snatching one of James Garrett’s pieces from the chess board. The men, who said they play chess all the time, had their board balanced on a piece of plaster board, which teetered on a couple of cinder blocks. Bailey was in a white plastic chair; Garrett, an orange vinyl one. They were drinking Pepsi. I asked who usually wins these chess matches. “He does, I have to be honest,” Bailey said. But in a few more moves, Bailey had him. What was next on the agenda? Bailey said he planned to go into the house and make spaghetti. Then, more chess.
We spoke briefly with Hipolito Alvarez, who has a new Mexican food truck that he parks outside a Mexican grocery on North Main Street. He said he used to be a cook at the Mambo Grill in Salisbury. The truck, Los Jalapenas, offers tacos, tortas, bebidas, burritos, enchiladas and many variations on these themes that I’m unfamiliar with. But it was making me hungry.
Our last stretch drive toward the Rowan-Cabarrus County line was uneventful. We finished our walk across the county at 2:52 p.m. Thursday. Jon and I have talked about going back through my notes and his photographs to count how many people we met this week. It could be 100. It could be 200. We had some wet days — Sunday and Thursday — and some hot ones. It was August, remember. We really can’t complain overall. Jon liked to say we were a “spectacle” walking down the road all week, and I always laughed. But I prefer to think of us as “spectators,” filing reports on people just going about their everyday business. Yet to their credit, they gave us the time of day.
either way,” Ford said. Page said Barber can tell the agency that staff found the south Rowan service should cover its own costs and doesn’t require an increase. If they can live with that, budget discussions will resume next year. If they can’t, commissioners could look at changing the ordinance. “At that point, it would come before the board,” Ford said. Barber said he didn’t know why this kind of cost analysis wasn’t performed when the rescue squad started providing south Rowan service. “We should have done this last year,” he said. “Well, no pun intended, we put a band-aid on it and it worked,” Ford said. Ford also asked to see the county’s budget for the rescue squad from 2006 through 2011.
Woman injured in East Spencer wreck EAST SPENCER — Rescue crews had to work to extricate a woman from a single-vehicle wreck Thursday night. The woman, who was described as being about 20 years old in rescue communications traffic, was injured around 10-:20 p.m. when she crashed near Reid Square, 100 Andrew St. in East Spencer. She had fractures and a possible head injury. Weather prevented crews from having a medical helicopter arrive to fly the victim out, so she was transported by ambulance.

He yelled at Morton to put on her brakes, but it was too late — she backed into the patrol car. Morton asked the officer to forget about the fender bender. He told her he would not. Police said Morton cursed at the officer, jumped in the vehicle and sped off, topping speeds as high as 70 mph.
The officer called for assistance and followed Morton down U.S. 29 toward China Grove.

Panthers hard to predict
Atwal out front
BY MIKE CRANSTON BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press
GREENSBORO — If Arjun Atwal keeps this up, he’ll have a new PGA Tour card in no time. Atwal tied a tournament record with a 61 on Thursday and took a two-stroke lead at the Wyndham Championship. Matching Carl Pettersson’s 2-year-old mark at the par-70 Sedgefield Country
Club course, Atwal was 9 u n d e r through the first round of the PGA Tour’s final event before ATWAL the playoffs. Brandt Snedeker is in second after shooting a 63.

John Fox shares a laugh with his team.
CHARLOTTE — So many signs in Carolina seemingly point to costcutting. Over 30? Making decent money? Chances are you were cut, traded or allowed to walk via free agency by the Panthers in the offseason. Nine starters from last year are gone, leaving 31-year-old Steve Smith as the oldest position player. Even the folks left over have little security. Coach John Fox is in
the last year of his contract. So is starting quarterback Matt Moore, running back DeAngelo Williams, cornerback Richard Marshall and numerous other veterans. A year before a potential work stoppage, the team owned by the cochairman of the NFL committee responsible for labor negotiations is suddenly the league’s thirdyoungest team without stalwarts Julius Peppers, Jake Delhomme and Muhsin Muhammad.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER
Landis’ Ford fit in with country boys rowing up, Larry Ford lived out in the country in southern Rowan County, near Oak Grove Methodist Church, . On a quiet field next to Ford’s house, seeds were sewn for a dominant Landis High team that went undefeated in 1952. That team didn’t get to compete for a state championship, but it went 9-0. Victims MIKE LONDON included Mooresville and the schools that are now North Meck and East Meck. Ford protests that he was no legend, but the left guard and linebacker was co-captain of those swarming Yellow Jackets for a reason, and he played with strips of plywood holding an injured knee in place. He was hurt by a clean block in Landis’ third game against Mount Pleasant. Landis’ other co-captain you know about. His name was Billy Ray Barnes. Ford attended first grade in Landis, but when World War II broke out, his family moved to Portsmouth, Va. where his father toiled in the naval shipyards. After the war, the Fords returned to Rowan, and the football games in the field started. “We were all ol’ country boys that worked on farms,” Ford explained. “Joe Wright would bring all the boys out to my house, and we’d play. We got uniforms from somewhere, and that same bunch of us played together for years.” There was one hitch. The best athlete around didn’t live in the country.

Some schools like South make it a family thing. Coaches have their wives and kids with them for a photo in the program. For instance, assistant Steven London gathers Angela and Alex together, and they all say cheese. It’s not really hot at 8 a.m. so the shaved pate of head coach Jason Rollins isn’t glistening yet. By 10 a.m. at Salisbury, mine is. It’s climbing toward the 90-degree mark already. Other sports are also out here for their photos.

Barnes lived in town. “We needed Bill, but Bill’s grandfather wasn’t going to let him go off and play ball until he mowed the yard,” Ford said with a laugh. “And Bill wasn’t going to mow that yard.” The solution? “Well, we mowed it for him,” Ford said. “It was the only way to get him on the team.” Those boys played together through the FORD sixth, seventh and eighth grades. Ford remembers a road game at Badin vividly. “I remember that trip back because it was cold and rainy and the team was laying in the back of a flatbed truck freezing to death,” Ford said. “We were laying on top of each other trying to keep warm.” By the time the Landis boys were teens, they knew Barnes was one of a kind. “One day, I had to try to block Barnes in practice ,” Ford said. “I had him by 40 pounds and he just beat the hell out of me. And I remember a basketball game when we were ninthgraders. I was a substitute and scored six points. I was our second-highest scorer. Barnes got 38.” Barnes was a star for Landis’ varsity teams by his sophomore year. The rest of the boys from the field waited patiently. World War II veteran Dan Hamrick was the head coach at Landis from the fall of 1946 to the spring of 1953.

Common Sense tries to follow lead of streaking teams he Common Sense picks return for another year of smooth sailing. Last season’s record of 137-27 (83.5 percent) wasn’t fantastic, but, for a change, it wasn’t embarrassing. The West Rowan Falcons were the best buddies of Common Sense. Picked to win 16 times, they won 16 times. Take away the Falcons, and Common Sense only got 81 percent of the games right. West enters a new season tonight with a county-record 30 straight wins, pretty darn impres-
T
sive, although the Falcons have a ways to go yet before they challenge the state-record 109 straight games that Charlotte Independence won from 2000-07. Albemarle ran off a streak of 50 in a row not long ago, and Thomasville owned a run of 48 straight. Reidsville owns the state’s longest current winning streak with 48 in a row. West’s streak ranks No. 2. At the other end of the spectrum, Green Hope, a school in Cary, has lost 27 in a row.
Mooresville’s dropped 12 straight, and that’s not a name anyone ever expected to see connected with the state’s longest losing skids. Entering 2010, A.L. Brown, East Rowan, South Rowan, North Rowan, Salisbury, Carson and Davie have all won zero in a row, having dropped last season’s finales, but everyone except the eight state champs and a few teams that didn’t qualify for the playoffs won their last game in 2009. A few more streaks: West has scored double-figure points in 45 straight contests since
a 17-7 loss to Anson ended the 2006 season. West has not been shut out in its last 99 games. Not since a 35-0 setback against Mooresville in 2002. A.L. Brown has put something on the scoreboard in 81 straight games — since the 28-0 whipping it took from Eastern Randolph in 2004. Throwing out a few forfeit losses, Salisbury has scored in 80 straight outings since a 23-0 playoff loss to West Henderson in 2003.

Salisbury’s girls tennis team, which has won back-toback 2A titles, will face Middle Creek, a 4A school in Apex, today at 4:30 p.m. during the opening round of the Port City Invitational in Wilmington. The top-ranked Hornets, with Joy Loeblein as the team’s No. 1 seed, opened their season Wednesday with a 6-1 victory at seventh-ranked Shelby. Erika Nelson, Katelyn Storey, Anna Page, Madeline Hoskins and Anna Flynn won singles matches. Nelson-Storey prevailed in doubles. Hoskins and Flynn are newcomers to the top six. The winner of today’s match with Middle Creek will play again at 9 a.m. on Saturday against either Cardinal Gibbons (tied for No. 1 in 3A) or New Hanover (9th in 4A). The Hornets will play another match at 2 p.m. that day. The other teams involved in the event are Hoggard (4th in 4A), South Brunswick, East Chapel Hill (7th in 4A) and R.J. Reynolds.
PANTHERS FROM 1B But suggest to general manager Marty Hurney — himself with an uncertain contract situation — that the Panthers are just shedding payroll ahead of a potential new NFL salary structure and he bristles. “We’ve said it over and over and over again: We made a decision to have young players,” Hurney said. “You have to make
ATWAL FROM 1B John Rollins, Kevin Streelman, Lucas Glover, Boo Weekley, David Toms and Jeev Milkha Singh were at 64, and six players shot 65s during an occasionally wet day that left Sedgefield’s greens soft and its leaderboard crowded.

Since this is a weekly picks column, we’ll take time to salute the guys in the last decade who produced the on-thefield picks. That term has almost replaced interceptions when DBs talk about their greatest moments. In the decade spanning 2000-09, West led area teams with 168 picks. The Falcons were followed by Salisbury (141), Davie (134), A.L. Brown (128), North (105), South (104), East (81) and Carson (41). Carson’s total is respectable for four years of competition. West had two extraordinary pickers in the decade — Zeb Link (21) and Justin Avery (17). Link and Avery share the school record with a 10-pick season: Link in 2004 and Avery in 2007. Salisbury’s pick parade was paced by Martin Hosch-Cathcart. He had 13 in the decade, including seven in 2007. Davie’s had a ton of talent in the defensive secondary with guys such as Billy Riddle, Cooter Arnold, Raeshon Mc-

tough decisions. That’s the decision we made. We’ll see if our young players are ready.” That will define whether the Panthers can rebound from last season’s 8-8 record and contend in the competitive NFC South. It will also determine if Fox, entering his ninth season, will be fired or become one of the NFL’s top coaching free agents. “We feel comfortable with the guys we have,” Fox insisted. “Obviously, we all liked and miss Jake. But there are other guys — Muhsin Muhammad, Brad Hoover, a lot of guys — that have been a big part of this or-
ganization for some time. Now we’ve just got a younger bunch.” Fox seemed to part from the company line in May when he said they made the Chris Harris trade because “we’ve got a budget.” It’s jarring when you consider the turnover from the 2008 team that went 12-4. “We had some young guys that we acquired through the draft and other means that we thought were ready to step in,” Hurney said. “It was time to give them that chance to step up and fill some roles. Hopefully, that’s what’s going to happen.”
Monday qualifier across town at Forest Oaks Country Club — where this tournament was held from 1977-2007. He played that course twice before, finishing sixth in 2004, and wound up shooting a 67 to share first place with three other qualifiers. No Monday qualifier has won a tournament since Fred Wadsworth did it at the 1986 Southern Open. “You get used to making a lot of birdies in the Monday qualifier — otherwise you won’t make it,” Atwal said. “I kind of continued that today.” The loss of his card capped a series of
events that began when he injured his shoulders last year while lifting weights. He received a minor medical extension, but when he came up short on the money list following the RBC Canadian Open, his card was history. He isn’t eligible for the FedEx Cup playoffs that begin next week in New Jersey, not even if he wins. But he can claim his card for 2011 with a victory — either here or at a fall series tournament — or a climb up the money lists of the PGA or Nationwide tours. “I prefer to win,” Atwal said with a laugh.
Neil and Quinton Faulkner. The surprise leader for the decade, however, was Matt Oswell. He had 10 in 2006 and 14 for the decade. Xavier Watson led A.L. Brown with nine for the decade. Watson had seven picks in 2008. Deangelo Collins had seven in 2000. Travis Wilson led North for the decade with eight. Wilson (2002), Chris Oakman (2003) and Alfonso Hyman (2006) had North’s season highs with six. South had the decade’s highest season for picks with 27 in 2001. Brad Lanning led South for the decade with 11, with nine coming in 2001. Unofficially, he recorded his 10th in the EastWest All-Star Game. South’s Heath Houston had eight INTs in 2004, including four in one amazing game against North Davidson. That was the only four-pick game in the decade. Aaron Cauble’s nine picks led East. Eight were in 2005. Derrick Sewell had six picks for Carson last season, including three in one game. Carson’s Zack Grkman was the lone player in the decade to pick off at least one pass in four straight seasons. When Common Sense retires, Grkman can take over the picks.
The picks: Salisbury 28, South Rowan 13 The Hornets have been waiting for this one for 364 days. East Rowan 14, North Rowan 8 Both teams are changing offensive systems, but it still can’t be as ugly as last season’s 7-0 struggle won by the Mustangs. Carson 27, Hickory Ridge 21 Just one of three SPC-NPC matchups locally, and this should be the one with some drama. West Rowan 56, Central Cabarrus 7 West has won 30 straight. Central has lost 15 straight. Both streaks will be extended. A.L. Brown 38, Statesville 14 Brown has endured ugly openers at Greyhound Hollow in the past, but not this time. Davie 14, Alexander Central 10 Davie beat Salisbury and Thomasville last season and still went 4-7. It was a classic snakebit season, and the first bite was a 3-0 opening-night loss to an Alexander Central team that went 11-2. AC and DC both return 12 starters. It figures to be low-scoring. Count on the War Eagles to be a bit hungrier.
SALISBURY POST
East Rowan
South Rowan
at North Rowan Time: 7:30 p.m. 2009 records: East 9-4; North 5-7 Series: North leads 35-15-1 Last meeting: East won 7-0 in Granite Quarry in 2009 Streak: North dominated the series for decades, but East has won the last three meetings Last North win in series: Cavaliers won 36-15 in 2006 Next week: East is at Salisbury; North is at Carson Game notes: East coach Chad Tedder makes his debut in what should be a pretty even contest. North expects to be improved after a decent 2009 season. East lost receivers and offensive linemen but has the core of its defense back. It’s a pretty big game for both teams. Both face a stronger team, at least on paper, next week, and no one wants to start 0-2. As North coach Tasker Fleming
Blalock
Hargrave
noted earlier this summer, East’s ugly 7-0 victory against the Cavs last season was huge for both teams. It got East off and rolling, and it took North several weeks to get over it. This was once the county’s most lopsided rivalry. North was 8-2 against East in the 1980s and 9-1 in the 1990s. But things have changed some. North’s had three straight losing seasons, and it’s lost eight straight county games on the scoreboard (although the Cavs later collected a forfeit from Salisbury in 2007). East is switching up its offensive look, changing from the veer to the I-formation and the spread, but quarterback Jamey Blalock should still be the primary weapon. North counters with one of the county’s defensive stars in Javon Hargrave, an all-State candidate who will be tough for East’s new lineman to block. — Mike London

Salisbury Time: 7:30 p.m. 2009 records: South 9-3; Salisbury 10-5 Series: Salisbury leads 13-7 Last meeting: South beat the Hornets 38-20 at Donnell Stadium in 2009 Streak: Five of the last six meetings have gone Salisbury’s way Last Salisbury win in series: Hornets edged South 16-14 to open the 2008 season Next week: South Rowan is at A.L. Brown; Salisbury plays host to East Rowan at Ludwig Stadium Game notes: South coach Jason Rollins got his first win against Salisbury coach Joe Pinyan last season, and it was only the second loss for Pinyan in seven outings against South, his alma mater. South likely can’t be as good as it was when it was starting virtually all seniors last year. The three returning starters are DBs Mark McDaniel
Pope
Morris
and Donte Henderson as well as Leo Pope, who has moved from offensive line to middle linebacker. McDaniel is also dangerous with four career TDs on returns. It will be the first varsity start for sophomore QB Nathan Lambert, a player South wants to build around. Salisbury recovered from its loss to South on opening night last season to make a playoff run. It ended up with 10 wins, one more than the Raiders, who fell in the first round of the playoffs. While South has three starters back, Salisbury has three all-stars back in DB Darien Rankin, RB Romar Morris and QB John Knox. Rankin and Morris are both North Carolina commitments. Knox, who runs Pinyan’s wishbone flawlessly, enters the season with 2,106 passing yards and 1,255 rushing yards to his credit. He’s accounted for 41 TDs. — Mike London
Time: 7:30 p.m. 2009 records: A.L. Brown 11-3; Statesville 3-8 Series: Since 1952, Brown leads 35-12-2 Last meeting: Wonders won 35-13 at Memorial Stadium in 2009 Streak: Wonders have won the last four meetings Last Statesville win in series: Greyhounds stunned the Wonders 40-29 in 2002 Next week: Brown is home against South Rowan; Statesville plays Hickory at Greyhound Hollow Game notes: A.L. Brown wins conference championships even when it’s down, and this season looks like one of those up years in which the Wonders could contend for a state championship. The Wonders are always fast. This time, they are fast — and big. Coach Ron Massey enters his 12th season with an enviable record.
Jones
Riley
The worst the Wonders have been during his tenure is 9-4. Brown averaged 34 points last season and has all the ingredients for another explosive offense. The spearhead will be tailback Travis Riley, a fast and powerful UNC commitment who rushed for 1,923 yards and scored 32 TDs in 2009. Martel Campbell (937 passing yards) is an seasoned QB. Teven Jones (27 catches) returns to lead the receivers. Right tackle Sheldon Saddler anchors a talented offensive line. Burner Damien Washington is a huge talent. Defensively, the Wonders return several workhorses from a unit that held eight opponents under 15 points last season. Statesville has sophomore QB Carlis Parker back to operate its Wing-T offense and is counting on junior running back Justin Masler to bee a standout. — Mike London
at Gbunblee
Quarles
NPC and Rowan County. They’re probably are a legitimate contender for a third straight state title. The offense has questions at running back and receiver, but awesome linemen Davon Quarles and Charles Holloway are back. So is quarterback B.J. Sherrill, who enters the season with 3,839 career passing yards. Defensively, West was very good last season (four shutouts, 11 points a game) and potentially is better this time. Domonique Noble is the marquee guy in what could be a spectacular secondary. Quentin Sifford, who was very good at East Rowan last year, could be a special linebacker for the Falcons, and lineman Emmanuel Gbunblee should be a serious problem for quarterbacks. Central has to be better than it was last season when it lost 54-0 to West 54-0 and 51-6 to South Rowan. — Mike London
Carson Time: 7:30 p.m. 2009 records: Hickory Ridge 7-6; Carson 7-6 Series: Hickory Ridge leads 1-0 Last meeting: Hickory Ridge won at home 25-13 in a game that took two nights to play because of weather issues Next week: Hickory Ridge is home against Marvin Ridge; Carson is home against North Rowan Game notes: Carson has gotten better every season and should continue up the ladder. The Cougars look like underdogs only against West Rowan and Salisbury. They’ve got 15 starters back, including offensive cornerstones QB Zack Gragg, RB Shaun Warren and WR Cody Clanton. Warren has rushed for 3,169 yards and 31 TDs in his career. Clanton was a 1,000-yard receiver in 2009 with 12 TD grabs, and Gragg threw 15 touchdown passes. Defensively, Carson has new faces
Barnhardt
Brown
in the secondary but still has LBs Chris Barnhardt and Jacorian Brown. While they’re home tonight, home field hasn’t been a huge factor for the Cougars. They’ve won 10 games in their history. Five, including the monumental 2008 win at Lake Norman and last season’s playoff win over Ledford, came on the road. Hickory Ridge is actually one year newer than Carson and is starting its fourth year. The Hickory Ridge players who are seniors now were the guys that started the school’s program as freshmen. The key man for coach Marty Paxton’s Ragin’ Bulls is RB Brian Baltimore, whose 2009 numbers were almost identical to Warren’s. Two-way lineman Danny Book (6-6, 235) was All-SPC last season. This game should give everyone an idea if Carson’s really going to be good this season. Hickory Ridge is regarded as a top-three team in the SPC. — Mike London
GALLAGHER FROM 1B • On Tuesday, North has photos at 10 a.m. and East takes photos at 4 p.m. North coach Tasker Fleming adds a personal touch to photo day. He’s the only coach holding his son in the team photo. Matthew is Tasker’s coach-pitch baseball star, and the youngster seems to be enjoying sharing the spotlight with the talented Cavaliers. At East, it’s hot — 95 degrees hot. AD Chad Mitchell ain’t dumb. After he gets things going, he sits in the air-conditioned press box until he’s needed. On the field, Tedder is hot under the collar as several players trot in late. He had told them when to be at the field, and he didn’t appreciate the tardiness. “I even told their parents,” he sighed. Photographer Terry Pardew pretty much takes over, lining kids up. Pardew is seen at several photo days. When a kid laughs at a player looking short, Pardew shoots back, “I resemble that remark.” • On Thursday, we had a day-night doubleheader: Davie at 9 a.m. and Carson at 7 p.m. Davie assistant Devore Holman jumps behind a camera while head coach Doug Illing starts mugging in front of it. Illing is wearing a smile, probably because it’s not hot yet. By 7 p.m., it is. Carson has a Fanfest, allowing parents and fans to come out and enjoy photo day, even if the coaches really don’t. The sound of cameras clicking can be heard as the Cougars line up for the team photo. There are probably 200 people on the field, including one proud daddy named Chris Cauble, the school’s baseball coach. • Finally, on Friday, Aug. 13, the final photo day occurs at West Rowan.

Davie assistant Devore Holman, left, stands behind the camera as head coach Doug Illing clowns around. The Falcons decide to hold it at 1 p.m. It’s 98 degrees. I look at assistant David Hunt, who is the midst of his 40th photo day. After so many, he’s smart. He sits under a tent and avoids the sun. Pardew is with us again, trying to set up the coaches photo. He makes a mistake by telling Tim Dixon to move from the end to the middle of the back row. Dixon refused. “I’m not moving. I’m always on the edge,” he says. Dixon gets his way. • In the end, you feel like Carson did it the right way. Prep sports are so big in Rowan County, shouldn’t all schools have a Fanfest and
invite everyone on the field with the kids and coaches? At least that way, the fans could sweat right along with us. • It all leads into tonight, the first Friday of high school football. All of the coaches have forgotten photo day and hope their teams aren’t involved in any photo finishes. Two county matchups highlight the schedule as South visits Salisbury and East goes to North. None of the our schools leave the county, as twotime defending state 3A champ West plays host to Central Cabarrus and Car-
son is at home against Hickory Ridge. Remember last year’s openers? West only played three quarters in a 54-0 win against Central and Carson played half a game against Hickory Ridge before lightning forced Mark Woody’s team to go back on Saturday. Hopefully, the entire game will be played in one night this year. In other games, A.L. Brown goes to Statesville and Davie heads for Alexander Central. • On the air tonight .... • On WSTP 1490-AM, Hall of Famer Howard Platt and sidekick Wilson “Don’t call me Wild” Cherry will broadcast Tedder’s headcoaching debut at North. • WSAT 1280-AM is doing all of Salisbury games this year with the velvet voice of Johnny Cloer and partner Glen Taylor. • WRNA 1140-AM is ready for another year of South Rowan with Carl Ford, the “Commissioner of high school football” and The Coach, Bob Parker. Go watch a game tonight, folks. And be nice. • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-797-4287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens was vehement: “Let me be clear. I have never taken steroids or HGH,” he told a House committee in 2008. Now, instead of the Hall of Fame, baseball’s seven-time Cy Young winner could go to prison after being indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for allegedly lying to Congress. The case writes a new chapter in one of baseball’s worst scandals, the rampant use of performance-enhancing drugs in the 1990s and early 2000s, and leaves Clemens’ legacy in jeopardy. The six-count indictment alleges that Clemens obstructed a congressional inquiry with 15 different statements made under oath, including denials that he had ever used steroids or human growth hormone. Former Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the top Republican on the House panel at the
time of Clemens’ testimony, called it “a self-inflicted wound.” Clemens had been prominently mentioned in the Mitchell Report, Major League Baseball’s own accounting of its steroid problem, and he went to Capitol Hill on his own to clear his name. “Clemens was not under subpoena. He came voluntarily,” Davis said. “And I sat there in the office with (committee chairman) Henry Waxman and said, ’Whatever you do, don’t lie.”’ Clemens was sticking to his story Thursday. He insisted he was telling the truth, again denying any wrongdoing on or off the field. “Roger is looking forward to his day in court,” Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin told a news conference. “He is happy this has finally happened. We have known for some time this was going to happen. We’ll let everything get taken care of in court.” “I never took HGH or
Steroids. And I did not lie to Congress,” Clemens said on Twitter. “I look forward to challenging the Governments accusations, and hope people will keep an open mind until trial. I appreciate all the support I have been getting. I am happy to finally have my day in court.” Hardin said federal prosecutors made Clemens a plea offer but he rejected it. Hardin declined to comment on details of the proposed plea deal — which ordinarily involves admitting to a crime while avoiding the scenario of a multiple-count indictment as happened in the Clemens case. Clemens faces a combined maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine if convicted on all charges. However, under U.S. sentencing guidelines, he would probably face no more than 15 to 21 months in prison. Clemens is just the latest superstar to be ensnared in baseball’s steroid scandal.

Carl Pavano (15-8) tied a club record by allowing 15 hits. He gave up seven runs in six innings. The Twins lost at sold-out Target Field for the first time in 10 games and missed a chance to take a sixgame lead in the division.

Menopausal woman can’t sleep Dear Dr. Gott: I have been going through menopause for the past seven years and have made it through the difficult phase. However, I have a problem staying asleep. I fall asleep most of the time with no problem but will stay asleep for about two hours. Then I can’t fall asleep again. Do you have a solution to DR. PETER this problem other than usGOTT ing estrogen? Dear Reader: As you are aware, hormonal changes occur during menopause. Those changes can produce symptoms of insomnia that can range from transient and temporary to chronic and annoying. A woman actually goes through three phases: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause. During the first stage, estrogen levels can decline, resulting in abnormal cycles, hot flashes and temporary insomnia. Menopause occurs when a woman has remained free of a cycle for 12 months. A woman may awaken during the night leading to chronic insomnia. Postmenopause can lead to still more pronounced sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea and restless-legs syndrome. So yes, there is definitely a strong link. Estrogen is produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands in females. In
menopausal women, it is prescribed to reduce the unpleasant symptoms that can plague a woman. Some physicians might choose to prescribe hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) if symptoms of menopause are severe. I don’t know that I would be one of them. That decision is best left for you to determine with your gynecologist, based on your full medical history. You might consider modifying your diet to include cucumbers, soy sprouts, garlic, green beans, yams, apples, corn, peas, olive oil, sunflower seeds and beets. During waking hours, consider adding yoga or another exercise program. Retire at about the same time each evening. Be sure your room is dark, quiet and free of distractions. Attempt to clear issues and coordinate activities before retiring so you don’t awaken at 2 a.m. to problem solve. On particularly difficult evenings, consider melatonin, an overthe-counter sleep aid. To provide related information, I am sending you copies of my Health Reports “Menopause” and “Sleep Wake Disorders.” Other readers who would like copies should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order per report to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title(s) or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I have an
itchy scalp and body. It’s not ringworm. I get small bumps on the skin when it itches. My doctor gave me pills that help on my body and lotion for my scalp, but these last only about 15 minutes. Dear Reader: There are numerous causes of itchy skin, most of which are harmless. Then there’s the itch from stress, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, polycythemia, an allergic reaction, sun exposure, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema and liver or kidney disease. There are logical steps you might consider, such as ruling out food allergies, reducing stress levels, using cold compresses, overthe-counter antihistamines and anti-itch creams. Beyond that, you might have appropriate blood or allergy testing to zero in on some of the possibilities I mention. If your physician is unable to prescribe something for control that is effective, request a referral to a dermatologist who can sort out the problem. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com. United FeatUre Syndicate
Chances of fulfilling your material objectives in the year ahead look better than they have for a long time. However, do not talk about your expectations to just anybody, because there are always those who are ready to horn in on someone else’s gains. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Those with whom you’re involved will expect you to do what was promised regardless of how you feel. Not feeling up to the task will be no excuse, so try to do the best you can. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - There is nothing wrong with your earning capacity, yet it could be a day of downs for you financially, when expenses get thrown at you from left and right. Bite the bullet and handle it. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Spoiled youngsters could expect that all that you’ve done for them in the past should be standard procedure, and could make some unreasonable demands on you. Don’t let them get away with such behavior. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You might be in for a big surprise when all that flattery you’re using on someone doesn’t work. Try again, but this time use honesty and humbleness. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Although it might usually cost you a dollar for a dollar’s worth of value, you might have to give more than you’ll get in order to have something you want. Don’t buy what you don’t need. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Get your priorities straightened out, or you could end up wasting all your time catering to someone who hardly ever notices you, while ignoring a good pal who has always been there for you. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Don’t allow yourself to get enthralled with someone who is already spoken for. Pursuing forbidden fruit will not only cause you to waste time on what you can never have, but also create major problems for you. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) - Just because the person you choose to do business with happens to be a friend, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to get important clauses in writing. Each party could be expecting more than they should. Aries (March 21-April 19) - A number of people you’ve always thought of as being allies might be only partially in accord with your ideas and/or purposes. However, even that support could also erode if you’re not careful. Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Unless those you’ve hired to do a certain job are given exact instructions, you aren’t likely to be satisfied with their work. Remember, the fault will be yours, not theirs. Gemini (May 21-June 20) - There are indications that, when doing business, you will be tempted to go with someone new and untested because you think you can get a better deal. Unfortunately, it is likely to be a poor decision. Cancer (June 21-July 22) - If you find your mate or partner has a case of the grumbles, it’ll be a mistake to respond in kind. By being even more affectionate than usual, you can be the substance that sweetens the soul. United FeatUre Syndicate

You could guess, but there’s no need BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate
Many bridge deals would be boring if all 52 cards were face up on the table. This is one of them. Declarer would know how to play the spades — finesse on the second round — and the hearts — lead a low heart out of his hand. But even with the defenders’ hands hidden, good players can sometimes appear to be using transparent cards. In today’s deal, how would you play in four spades? West leads a diamond. East wins with his ace and returns the jack (higher of two remaining cards) to your king. Your jump to game was aggressive, but it was justified with the good fit and those aces and kings. Of course, if you finesse in spades, you will have no further worries. But if you start by taking the percentage play, cashing the ace and king, you will have to guess the hearts. Here, as mentioned, you would have to start by leading the five from your hand, playing West for honor-doubleton. If, though, East had that holding, you would have to play a low one from the dummy and put in your jack. However, there is a guaranteed line (assuming spades are not 4-0). At trick three, cash your club ace. Then play a club to dummy’s king, ruff the diamond
nine in your hand, lead a spade to dummy’s ace and return a spade to your jack. Here, the finesse succeeds and you are home. But suppose West could win with the queen. What would he do next? If he leads a heart, you have only one loser in the suit. And if he returns a minor-suit card, you ruff in the dummy and sluff a heart from your hand.
