Foreclosures continue to rise; developments suffer BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
Bank foreclosures in Rowan County are up by 183 compared to this time last year, according to data from the clerk of court’s office. At the end of July 2009, there had been 362 cases. At the close of this past July, that number was 545. Total foreclosures have increased each year since 2006. Jeff Barger, Rowan County clerk of court, said more foreclosures have been in developments this year than in the past. “Some have been fairly large developments,” Barger said.
“Most of them at that point were lots, and at that point, there’s no demand for them.” In addition, he said, an increasing number of people simply aren’t able to pay their debts because of hard economic times. There is assistance available in Rowan County, though, to help those people avoid foreclosure. Lou Adkins, with the Salisbury Community Development Corp., said her organization had 116 calls for assistance in July. “If they can get to us, they’re not being foreclosed on,” Adkins said. “I think most of the foreclo-

No more crossing tracks at Horah Street City decides to upgrade Monroe Street area instead BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
After three years of study and discussion, the city will close the Horah Street at-grade railroad crossing in preparation for high speed rail. The N.C. Department of Transportation will seal off the closing with signs, plants and curbs. City staff negotiated several incentives in exchange for closing the crossing at the request of N.C. DOT and Norfolk Southern Railroad. The railroad will pay the city $42,000, which will help upgrade Lincoln Park. N.C. DOT will resurface Monroe Street. The railway and N.C. DOT also will upgrade the Monroe Street at-grade crossing by removing existing barriers and installing fourquadrant gates to make the crossing safer. With the closing, the city can apply to the Federal Railroad Administration for a “quiet zone” between Henderson Street and Klumac Road. Train whistles along that stretch of train track would become optional, not mandatory. High speed trains will reach speeds of 110 mph. Amtrak and Norfolk Southern have reported several near misses at the Horah crossing. Rail officials have said the crossing is unsafe due to lack of sight around the bend, where the rail comes out of a curve. Mayor Susan Kluttz praised city staff for obtaining the incentives in exchange for closing the crossing. “If high speed rail comes through and we wait too long, we’ll get nothing,” she said. Norfolk Southern has 60 days to close and remove the crossing. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

OODLEAF — Unity Presbyterian Church became a garden of delights for this year’s Tomato Fes-
tival. Organizers said this year’s was the biggest, most delicious of the annual gatherings yet. Now in its fourth year, Woodleaf’s Tomato Festival helps raise money for the church’s capital fund. The silent auction, parade, recipe contest and plenty of arts and crafts drew about 1,000 people from across the county, organizer Patty Safrit said. This included participants and spectators at the early-morning Tomato Trot 5K race and the 10 a.m. parade. Trucks from Woodleaf, Franklin and Scotch Irish fire departments participat-
ed in the parade, along with many others. Back at the church, families filled a tent on the church lawn to hear bluegrass, gospel and other music. Inside the church, a tough competition played out as judges sampled 15 dishes — entrees, appetizers, desserts — all made with tomatoes. Safrit’s own chocolate chip and sundried tomato cookies tied with Mildred Perrell’s green tomato pie, which was described as tasting almost like apple. Tiny Steele’s tomato jelly took the Best in Show award. The most unusual of the 15 entries: Josie Correll’s appetizer of cherry tomatoes arranged on crackers to look like ladybugs, with “spots” of sauce. Outside, the contestants in the Miss Tomato Festival pageant prettied them-

Correction: Woman not ordered to stop videotaping Felicia Laverne Gibson was found guilty Friday in Rowan County District Court of resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer in performance of his duties, according to Judge Beth Dixon. Gibson did not follow Police Officer Mark Hunter’s initial orders to go into her home while an arrest was being made in the street nearby, according to court testimony. Gibson was videotaping the arrest, but there was no mention in testimony of Hunter ordering her to stop, Dixon says. An article in Saturday’s Post was incorrect in saying Gibson refused the officer’s order to quit videotaping the traffic stop. The story said Gibson was found guilty of “resisting arrest,” a shortened term for the charge against her.

TAX FROM 1a have never had a mortgage on the house or faced worries that a bank might take and sell their home as a result of nonpayment. But mortgage lenders aren’t the only entities that can foreclose on a house. If a homeowner does not pay his or her property taxes, the county also has the ability to impose a lien on the property and put it up for auction. According to Janet Phillips, a deputy tax collector with Rowan County, the county has more than 500 accounts coded as being in foreclosure, and fewer than 100 of them have had judgments filed with the Clerk of Court’s office for sale of the property. Many of these are vacant buildings or lots, developments, businesses and rental properties. County tax administrator Jerry Rowland said it’s rare that a primary residence is put up for sale, because the county tries to work out payment plans with people who are in financial crisis and in danger of losing their homes. That’s what happened to the Simons, though, who owe the county a debt of about $4,000. The couple dutifully paid their property taxes each year until about five years ago, when hardship struck. Eric had been working full time as a group leader for a youth group home when he developed a severe case of vertigo. “I bent down to pick something up, and I couldn’t stand up,” he said. “I couldn’t tell which way was up and which way was down.” The condition causes dizziness and nausea, and the medication to treat it causes drowsiness, so his employer determined that he was no longer able to work. Eric has not sought disability payments, he said, because he was advised he would not receive them if his condition is improving. He says he is getting better, but he still can only perform odd jobs and occasional guest preaching events. Mersija volunteers for a few hours per week at a crisis pregnancy center in Salisbury. She had also worked part time at a video store, but severe back pain limits her motion and she is no longer employed. “With the little bit we had that was dwindling down, we had to look at taxes, utility bills, putting food on the table, taking care of the things our children need, and making our one and only vehicle function,” Eric said.

Often, taxes have been prioritized last on that list. The Simons try to keep from relying on government assistance and nonprofit agencies, Eric said, though they have used those resources before. He said they have been fortunate lately to receive help from family members, friends and community members. Eric said this is a humbling experience after having given their own money, time and resources to the community. The Simons run a free prayer line out of their home called 7 Prayer Ministry, which can be reached at 704-469-1826 or 7prayer@gmail.com. With some assistance, the couple made a $1,000 payment on their property tax debt in January. Eric said he gave a lump sum because he was not aware that he could enter into an affordable payment plan. He did not make another payment until this month. Rowland said the county sends several notification letters, including a certified letter, before putting a property up for sale. Eric received those letters, but he was concerned when he read that the house would be sold if his debt was not paid in full. He said he made calls and sent e-mails to county staff members and was told that the county would not take his home. The yellow sign still showed up, though, on Aug. 2. Rowland said while, to his knowledge, the county has never sold someone’s primary residence, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. State law requires the county to foreclose on a property and put it up for sale after a certain period of nonpayment. “We want to work out any other way that we can to keep that from happening, but the law requires us to once it gets to a certain point,” Rowland said. Rowland said his office works with financially struggling families to allow them to make small monthly payments toward their tax debt. Tax officials did communicate with the Simons about their payment options in January, he said, so there must have been a misunderstanding. Eric said he met with county tax officials earlier this month and made the first payment in a new plan. Rowland said as long as they continue to pay what they can, the Simons should not lose their home. “All we’re wanting people to do is communicate with us and let us know that they are trying,” Rowland said. “It’s a good faith effort, and that’s all we’ve ever asked.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

CRIME FROM 1a the lab.” Cooper has been a popular state leader who won reelection handily in 2008 and whose name floats often as a candidate for governor and U.S. Senate. He was praised for his handling of the Duke lacrosse case. His future in elections and working with the General Assembly may hang on whether he carries out reforms in the independent review, and goes beyond them. “Cooper has done a good job as attorney general, and this is a crisis that he had to solve,” said Jack Cozort, a state government lobbyist and ex-appeals court judge who began in Democratic politics in 1971 working in former Gov. Jim Hunt’s first statewide campaign. “If he doesn’t solve and deal with it wisely and efficiently, it could be an issue for him in the next election.” An independent review of blood testing performed
million for foreclosure prevention in this state. The Treasury’s Hardest Hit Fund is authorized under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island and South Carolina were selected because a large percentage of their populations lived in counties with high unemployment rates in 2009. In February 2010, Hardest Hit funds went to five other states where home values have declined sharply — Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada. As in the Home Protection Program, most of the new funds will be used to make mortgage payments for unemployed workers while they seek or train for jobs — but not all. When the Hardest Hit program is offered statewide in December, others who have gotten behind on their mortgage
in the lab from 1987 to 2003 found 190 cases in which suspects were charged but the final lab report omitted evidence that contradicted preliminary tests indicating blood at a scene. Three of the 190 cases resulted in executions. Four other people convicted are on death row. The report doesn’t conclude, however, that innocent people were convicted. Cooper asked for the review in March after an SBI agent testified the crime lab once had a policy of excluding complete blood test results from reports offered to defense lawyers before trials. That testimony led to Febru-
payments through no fault of their own also will be eligible for assistance while they get back on their feet. Maximum loan amounts are 24 months of mortgage payments up to $24,000 in non-targeted counties, and 36 months of mortgage payments up to $36,000 in high unemployment counties. With 11.7 percent unemployment, Rowan is one of 50 targeted counties in North Carolina. “We’re very excited, because we think this is going to be very helpful,” Adkins said. “It will affect a lot more people than have been able to utilize the Home Protection Program.” For more information about the Salisbury Community Development Corp. and its foreclosure prevention programs, call Lou Adkins at 704-638-2154 or Robbie Stevens at 704-638-5383.

ary’s exoneration of Greg Taylor, who had served 17 years for a murder conviction. Cooper faced the criticism squarely Wednesday, listening in person to a former FBI leader and lab expert detail omitted or misrepresented results that could have led to confessions or pleas because more favorable evidence may have been hidden. Cooper took questions and said all the report’s recommendations would be implemented by new SBI director Greg McLeod. His office also announced late last week the lab director would be replaced. “It is important that lessons

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education will consider adopting a $36.4 million budget during its meeting Monday. The school system has been operating under a continuing budget resolution passed by the board in June based on the prior year’s budget. The 2010-11 fiscal year budget resolution includes about $700,000 in funding from the district’s $6 million fund balance, according to documents included in the board’s agenda packet. The school system originally anticipated using $1.3 million from the fund balance to make up for a budget shortfall. Funding from the state, local and federal governments, as well as project operating costs, are included in 2010-11 budget resolution. The following items will also be discussed during the meeting: • West Rowan High School will request expanded course offerings. The school, which hired an additional agriculture teacher, is seeking to add equine science and agriculture mechanics classes. • Colby Cochran, director of assessments and accountability, will present the official ABCs, Adequate Yearly Progress, graduation rate and end of grade/end of course test score reports for the 2009-10 school year. The meeting will be held at 5 p.m. Monday in the Long Street Administrative Office Board Room, 110 S. Long St., East Spencer.

EAST SPENCER — Basketball, haircuts, food, school supplies and clothes — activities all designed to bring the community together. The community event, “Taking Back Our Streets: Action with a Purpose” was held Saturday at the Dunbar Center. The event was planned and organized by a group of local churches: Southern City Tabernacle AME Zion, Mount Olive Full Gospel Baptist and Love Christian Center. Reginald “Water” Wooden, offered his services to organizers to cut hair at the event. He was the lone barber, with a line of children waiting for a fresh cut before school starts later this week. There were 15 boys who all got haircuts on Saturday. Domonek Wilder, 8, was one. Sitting in the chair, cape wrapped around him, hair sailing to the floor, the child wasn’t smiling, but Wooden knew what would make him smile. “He wants a design,” he said.

She saw the event in the newspaper and asked if she could be of help. “I just walked up,” she said. Faggart recently moved to East Spencer from Florida. The longtime hair stylist is trying to es-

Flu shots will protect against H1N1 this season BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com
With one single shot, this season’s flu vaccine will also protect against the H1N1 virus, health officials say. Health Director Leonard Wood first mentioned the combined vaccine at a recent Rowan County Board of Health meeting. “The H1N1 will be combined
with other strains so that folks do not have to get two shots this year,” Wood said this week. He said vaccines will probably not be available at the Health Department until early to mid-September. “We hope to get ours by midSeptember,” he said. The CDC recommends that everyone 6 months and older get a 2010-2011 flu vaccine for the up-
coming season as vaccine is available. The seasonal flu vaccine is usually a three-component vaccine, with each component selected to protect against one of the three groups of influenza viruses circulating most commonly in people. H1N1 is one of those components. Last year, H1N1 was offered in nasal form, but this year’s flu/H1N1 combination vaccine
comes in one form — a shot. The same regulations still apply for this combined vaccine as for the H1N1 vaccine. For example, people allergic to eggs should not take this vaccine, because one of the H1N1 components contains eggs. There is no separate vaccine available for people who just want

‘48 Hours’ correspondent Harold Dow dies at 62 NEW YORK (AP) — Emmy-winning CBS News correspondent Harold Dow, who helped shape the documentary program “48 Hours” and covered the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst and the Sept. 11 attacks, has died. He was 62. Dow died suddenly Saturday morning in New Jersey, network spokeswoman Louise Bashi said. He lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J., but it wasn’t immediately clear if he’d been at home. Dow had been a correspondent for “48 Hours” since 1990. His nearly 40 years with the network also included reporting for “CBS Evening News with Dan Rather” and DOW “CBS News Sunday Morning.” A “48 Hours” report on runaways earned him a George Foster Peabody Award. He also won five Emmys, for work including coverage of the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, and of American troops’ movement into Bosnia in 1996. “Insatiably curious, he was happiest when he was on the road deep into a story,” Susan
Zirinsky, executive producer of “48 Hours Mystery,” said in a statement. “It was his humanity, which was felt by everyone he encountered, even in his toughest interviews, that truly defined the greatness of his work. He was the most selfless man I have known.” Dow landed an exclusive interview with kidnapping victim Hearst in December 1976, and he had the first network interview with O.J. Simpson following the 1994 killing of his ex-wife. He barely escaped one of the falling twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, the network said. Dow was a contributor to “48 Hours on Crack Street,” the 1986 documentary that led to the creation of the weekly “48 Hours.” Before that, he had been a co-anchor on “CBS News Nightwatch” and a correspondent and reporter at the CBS News Los Angeles bureau. He started his career with the network as a broadcast associate in 1972. As a co-anchor and talk-show host for KETV in Omaha, Neb., he was the first African-American television reporter in that city. He is survived by his wife, Kathy, and their three children.
Former Bank of America chief calls lawsuit ‘implausible’ NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for former Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis said in a court filing that a lawsuit accusing him of misleading investors during the company’s 2009 merger with Merrill Lynch was “implausible” and “inconsistent,” and should be tossed out. The filing was a response to a civil lawsuit submitted by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo in February which accused Lewis and Bank of America of failing to properly disclose losses and bonuses at Merrill before the deal closed. At the time, attorneys for Lewis had called the suit “misguided,” but they elaborated on that criticism in a lengthy legal filing Wednesday that both praised the merger as “an unmitigated financial and strategic success” and condemned Cuomo for distorting the facts. “Some have looked to assign blame for every aspect of the financial crisis, even where this is no evidence of misconduct,” they wrote. “This case is a product of that dynamic and does not withstand either legal or factual scrutiny.” It added that Cuomo’s claim that Lewis was motivated by greed and hubris, “flies in the face of the actual facts and rational logic.” Lewis, they noted, held millions of shares of Bank of America stock, and stood to lose a
lot if the merger wasn’t successful. Cuomo’s office released a statement saying it stood by its allegations. The statement said Lewis’ recent court filings, “do nothing to change this office’s view of the case.”
STREETS FROM 3A brother, Michael, who helped organize the event, he said. “It’s an honor to be involved,” Andrew said. He said he and Hines were teaching the boys the fundamentals, including shooting and footwork as well as sharing fitness and nutritional tips. “The event was a success and we helped a lot of people in the community,” event coorganizer Sherri Hill said. She said she hopes more businesses, churches and people participate as they look to continue the free event next year. Today, from 3-4:30 p.m., former gang member Brian Long will speak to the community about gang awareness.

Grant to create wireless network in Charlotte CHARLOTTE (AP) — North Carolina’s largest city is getting nearly $17 million in federal money to build a wireless broadband network that will aid police, ambulances and firefighters. The city of Charlotte found out last week that is has been awarded the grant by the U.S. Department of Commerce. The system could one day allow doctors at a hospital to see live video of a patient’s condition while he’s driven in an ambulance. Or police at headquarters could watch a traffic stop in real-time video shot by a patrolman’s cruiser. The city along with Mecklenberg County and other towns in the county will have their own high-speed 4G wireless network that officials say will work faster because it won’t be shared with regular cell phone users.

The restaurant is yards away from the fire station. The pit is located a few feet from the restaurant, 118 China Grove Highway, but did not burn the restaurant. Customers were evacuating when fire officials arrived. “They had an employee out there. He tried to help out with a water can. The flames grew bigger,” Linker said. Water intensifies a grease

Democrats hold financial advantage over GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee’s $5.5 million in July receipts includes a $900,000 insurance payment, helping boost anemic fundraising by the national party. Federal campaign reports show that Democratic Party committees maintained a cash on hand advantage over their Republican counterparts as they entered the final three months before the election. The Republican Party’s insurance payment was from Illinois National Insurance, a subsidiary of insurance giant American International Group. A party official said the money was for an insurance claim but said there was a confidentiality provision in the agreement. The official was not authorized to discuss the claim publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity. The official said the payment was not related to AIG’s financial troubles, which re-

quired a massive federal bailout. Even with the claim, the RNC’s receipts were less than half the $11.6 million raised by the Democrats. The Democratic Party reported $10.8 million in the bank and $3.5 million in debts; Republicans showed $5.3 million in the banks and $2.2 million in debts. The RNC is by far the GOP committee struggling the most, creating anxiety among Republican operatives and increasing pressure on outside groups to help make up the financial gap. The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $8.5 million to help House candidates, surpassing the $6.2 million raised by its Democratic counterpart. But the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee showed $35.8 million in the bank compared to $22 million for the NRCC.

selves up. “Mindy, put your wig on!” said one Philary Mater — a buxom blonde with a rather masculine expression. “We can’t take you anywhere!” “Philary Mater” is the alter ego of pastor Phil Hagen of Unity Presbyterian. “Mindy Mater” was eighth-grader Jake Haire. They were among the six contestants in the all-male “beauty pageant.” Hagen has pastored the church for about 16 months. Asked why he donned a strawberry-blonde wig and Elton John-style sunglasses, Hagen had a simple answer: “It’s a willingness to enjoy life and for the people of the church to see the pastor doesn’t take himself too seriously.” And, of course, for a good cause. The six contestants garnered $1,517 in donations by themselves. Haire and Jake Fleming tied for the “Junior Miss” award. But it was “Jane Wayne,” a.k.a. Carl “Sonny” Moore, who won the pageant. “It’s easy to live it up, but hard to live it down,” said Moore, who donned pink nail polish and shaved his mustache to compete. For many, the Tomato Festival was a chance to see friends and neighbors and

pedestrians stop to argue with abu rahman, right, Matt sky, and others in front of the site of a proposed mosque near ground zero in New York on thursday. one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” If Washington’s promise remains part of the nation’s creed today, it’s still true that disputes like that involving the New York mosque test the limits of that tolerance. “We were never as tolerant as we thought we were,” says the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. “I think that the rock on which tolerance is built is often more like sandstone than it is granite. It is easy to erode at any times when problems in the culture develop.” Despite the current imbroglio, the Rev. Patrick McCollum says he believes Americans are becoming more tolerant. His proof: The fact that his house hasn’t been firebombed in a while. “There were people actually killed and such for having beliefs different than the dominant belief system,” says the San Francisco man, a Wiccan minister in the “sacred path” tradition. “And that doesn’t happen as much anymore.” McCollum, 60, has been involved in a seven-year federal court battle over California’s policy of employing as state chaplains only Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and adherents to Native American religions. He attributes both his struggle and the

Manhattan mosque fight to what he calls the “dominant religious lens factor.” Even so, he interprets the latter as a sign of growth. “I think that the intolerance that we’re experiencing right now is that for the first time in a long period of time, since almost the founding of our country, we’ve actually begun to ALLOW pluralism to surface in our country,” says McCollum. “So we’ve started to uphold the ideals that our country was founded on ... and the people who’ve been in the dominant position begin to feel like they’re under attack.” Although not declaring his outright support for the mosque planners’ real estate choice, President Barack Obama has defended their constitutional right to be there. Not everyone was satisfied with his words. “I think to reason in that manner is to shortchange American identity; it’s not to apprehend fully the robustness of American identity,” says Brad Stetson, co-author of the book “The Truth About Tolerance: Pluralism, Diversity And The Culture Wars.” America’s “penchant for toleration,” as Stetson puts it, is “beyond question.” But he says that tolerance has always been “circumscribed by some understanding of what was best for the commonweal, the health of the social body.” “It’s not necessarily intolerant to say no,” says Stetson,

Tropical depression forms in Atlantic MIAMI (AP) — A new tropical depression has formed in the Atlantic, but the system is far from land. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Saturday that the tropical depression is expected to strengthen and could become a tropical storm Sunday. The depression was located about 600 miles (970 kilometers) west-southwest of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands. It has maximum sustained winds of 35 mph (55 kph) and is moving westnorthwest at 8 mph (13 kph). In the Pacific, the ninth tropical depression of the season formed and is forecast to move parallel to the coast of southern Mexico. The government of Mexico has issued a tropical storm watch from Salina Cruz westward to Lagunas de Chacahua.

Judge orders drug offender to write report on pot GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada judge has an unusual sentence for a 25year-old Sacramento man who sold marijuana to a police informant in a casino parking lot at Lake Tahoe. District Judge Dave Gamble ordered Matthew Palazzolo to write a report on what the judge called the “nonsensical character” of California’s medical marijuana law. Gamble gave Palazzolo 90 days to complete the paper discussing his realization that marijuana led him to use more powerful narcotics. Palazzolo, who works for a Sacramento law firm, was arrested outside a Stateline casino in February after selling the informant a quarter-pound of pot for $1,060. Palazzolo said he grew it after using complaints of a sore back to get a California medical marijuana card. But he said the pot was for recreational use.

The word tolerance comes from the Latin “tolerare” — to bear. In our dictionaries, we define it as, among other things, the “freedom from bigotry or prejudice.” Its meanings are almost as numerous as the people who express them, as recent entries in the visitor comment book at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles suggest. It means “to respect other races even if u hate them,” says one commenter, signed only as G. “Acceptance,” says another, Alejandra, adding, “To me, tolerance is tinged with the negative aspect of `putting up with’ someone or something, but not fully embracing it.” As rancor swirls around the issue of whether a mosque and Islamic cultural center should be built two blocks from the New York site where the destroyed Twin Towers stood, Americans are being forced to examine just how tolerant they are — or are not. The issue has always been with us. Against the backdrop of Puritan rigidity and the infamous Salem witch trials, the Founding Fathers made sure the concept of tolerance was woven into the very fabric of the young American republic. In 1790, in a letter welcoming newly elected President George Washington to Newport, R.I., on behalf of “the children of the stock of Abraham,” Moses Seixas reflected this view. “Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens,” he wrote, he saw the hand of God in the establishment of a government “which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” In reply, Washington assured the Jewish leader that the birth of the United States meant a new birth of freedom and respect. “It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights,” he wrote. This would be a country, he pledged, where “every

Iran starts nuclear plant, calls it a triumph over pressure from the West BUSHEHR, Iran (AP) — Trucks rumbled into Iran’s first reactor Saturday to begin loading tons of uranium fuel in a long-delayed startup touted by officials as both a symbol of the country’s peaceful intentions to produce nuclear energy as well as a triumph over Western pressure to rein in its nuclear ambitions. The Russian-built Bushehr nuclear power plant will be internationally supervised, including a pledge by Russia to safeguard it against materials being diverted for any possible use in creating nuclear weapons. Iran’s agreement to allow the oversight was a rare compromise by the Islamic state over its atomic program. Western powers have cautiously accepted the deal as a way to keep spent nuclear fuel from crossing over to any military use. They say it illustrates their primary struggle: to block Iran’s drive to create material that could be used for nuclear weapons and not its pursuit of peaceful nuclear power. Iran has long declared it has a right like other nations to produce nuclear energy. The country’s nuclear chief described the startup as a “symbol of Iranian resistance and patience.” “Despite all pressure, sanctions and hardships imposed by Western nations, we are now witnessing the startup of the largest symbol of Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities,” Ali Akbar Salehi told reporters inside the plant with its cream-colored dome overlooking the Persian Gulf in southern Iran.
Swedish officials withdraw arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder on rape accusation STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish authorities revoked a shortlived arrest warrant for the founder of WikiLeaks on Saturday, saying a rape accusation against him lacked substance. Julian Assange, who was believed to be in Sweden, remained under suspicion of a lesser crime of molestation in a separate case, prosecutors said. The nomadic 39-year-old Australian dismissed the allegations in a statement on WikiLeaks’ Twitter page, saying “the charges are without basis and their issue at this moment is deeply disturbing.” WikiLeaks is preparing to release of a fresh batch of classified U.S. documents from the Afghan war, despite warnings from the Pentagon that they could endanger American soldiers and their Afghan helpers. A Stockholm prosecutor issued the arrest warrant on Friday, saying Assange was suspected of rape and molestation in two separate cases. But chief prosecutor Eva Finne withdrew the warrant within 24 hours.
More than 23,000 workers affected by six-month drilling ban in Gulf of Mexico WASHINGTON (AP) — A six-month ban on deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico would directly put more than 9,000 people out of work and indirectly affect another 14,000 jobs, according to a memo from the nation’s top drilling regulator. The federal document, which weighed the economic impact and alternatives to the ban, was sent to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar on July 10 by Michael Bromwich. Salazar issued a moratorium in June, but it was struck down by a federal judge in New Orleans after oil and gas drilling interests said it wasn’t justified following the Gulf oil spill. The Obama administration issued a new moratorium July 12 — two days after the memo — that stressed new evidence of safety concerns. The White House hopes the revised ban will pass muster with the courts. The moratoriums were put in place following the Deepwater Horizon rig explosion April 20 that killed 11 people. Millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf after the rig sank.
Gunmen captured after invading luxury hotel in Rio de Janeiro; hostages all freed RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Gunmen engaged in a shootout with police took 30 people hostage Saturday at a luxury hotel popular with foreign tourists but within hours freed the captives and surrendered to police. The upscale, beachside neighborhood where the Intercontinental Hotel is located was transformed into a virtual war zone as the 10 suspects — armed with high-caliber rifles, grenades and pistols — exchanged fire with police in a shootout that killed a bystander as she was getting out of a taxi. Dozens of other suspects fled into a nearby slum where the shootout began. Spent casings from high-caliber weapons littered the pavement in front of the hotel and residents of the neighborhood said they were awakened by the shooting. “It seemed as if I was in Iraq,” Jose Oliveira e Silva, a resident of the Sao Conrado neighborhood, told the Globo television network. Amateur video aired on Globo showed a group of blackclad police taking heavy fire and returning it as they took cover behind a garbage truck. Sanitation workers in bright orange jumpsuits huddled behind the truck, waiting for the onslaught to end.
Australian election winner unclear; results from tightest vote in 50 years may take week CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — It could take more than a week to learn who will govern Australia after a cliffhanger election — the closest in nearly 50 years — and the winner may have to woo the support of a handful of independent lawmakers in order to assume power. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female prime minister who seized power in an internal Labor Party coup only two months ago, said Saturday she will remain the nation’s caretaker leader during the “anxious days ahead” as vote-counting continues. The Australian Electoral Commission website said early today that center-left Labor and the conservative Liberal Party-led coalition each had 71 seats, meaning neither could achieve the 76-seat majority. “Obviously this is too close to call,” Gillard told party faithful who gathered Saturday.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — A 23-year-old woman has drowned after getting trapped in an uncovered manhole during heavy rain in Illinois. Springfield police say the woman and a man were riding in a car Friday night and got stuck under an overpass where the road had flooded. Both got out of the car to start pushing, and the woman slipped into a manhole and underwater. She was submerged for about four minutes before the man and a police officer were able to free her. Police Lt. Jim Henry says the woman died at the scene. Her name has not been released. Authorities say up to 1.4 inches of rain fell on parts of Springfield in less than two hours Friday.

Bear who mauled caretaker is put to death in Ohio COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A bear that mauled to death a caretaker was euthanized Saturday at the request of the family of the victim, whose father said he had told his son to leave the job. The bear attacked Brent Kandra, 24, when he opened its cage Thursday for a routine feeding at the home of a man who kept a menagerie of wolves, tigers and bears on the property southwest of Cleveland. The owner, Sam Mazzola, who has drawn criticism from animal rights activists for letting people wrestle with one of his bears, had said Kandra’s family would decide the bear’s fate. Kandra’s father, John, said he and his exwife, Deirdre Herbert, needed the bear to die. He also said his son felt shortchanged by Mazzola when payday rolled around. “It just seemed like Sam kind of took advantage of my son,” Kandra’s father said. “I told him a couple times, ‘I really wish you wouldn’t work for him.’ ” Mazzola’s lawyer didn’t return a call seeking comment Saturday. After the bear was put to death by a veterinarian, John Kandra recalled his son, a little blond boy who fished his way through childhood in the rivers of northeastern Ohio, baiting bullfrogs with a blade of grass and catch-
ing carp big enough to shame the tallest teller of fish tales. “I can’t think of when he wasn’t involved with animals,” Kandra said. His son began fishing at age 4, reeling in fish after fish and begging to cast his rod just one more time. He tried to bring home his biggest catches, where he always had animals — a pet snake, a turtle or a dog. After Kandra died, his father paged through mementos of his son’s childhood, the fridge-worthy school assignments and other keepsakes a parent saves. He fixated on stories his son scribbled in elementary school: Brent catching a whale with a hook. Brent living among the bears in the woods. “I figured by the time they were in their 30s and 40s they could go through it and see what they want to keep,” Kandra’s father said of his children. “He’s not going to be able to do that.” Brent Kandra’s penchant for critters led him to Mazzola’s world of exotic animals, where neighbors say roars and howls resound. Kandra spent the end of his teenage years and his 20s tending to dogs and feeding bears. Despite the problems he said he had with getting paid, Kandra thought it was better than selling cell phones at the mall, a job he started less than two months ago.

No offense for Panthers BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press
AssociAted press
panthers quarterback Matt Moore (3) tries to throw a pass over New York Jets defensive end shaun ellis (92).
CHARLOTTE — Mark Sanchez was lucky to avoid two in9 terceptions and failed Jets Panthers 3 to get the New York Jets in the end zone despite great field position. And he still had the better night of the two starting quarterbacks. Matt Moore couldn’t lead Carolina to any points on a night of bad passes, drops, penalties and dismal offense in the Jets’ 9-3 victory over the Panthers on Saturday. Sanchez completed 5 of 10 passes for 12 yards, a setback after he recovered from an interception on his first pass Monday against the Giants and looked sharp. LaDainian Tomlinson’s 20-yard

draw play was the Jets’ top offensive play. The Panthers couldn’t even come close to matching that. Moore, given the starting job when seven-year starter Jake Delhomme was released in the offseason, failed to lead a scoring drive for the second straight preseason game. He completed just six of 17 passes for 57 yards and an interception. Carolina rookie Jimmy Clausen wasn’t much better — he was 9 of 22 for 72 yards and a pick — and neither got much help. Carolina played without star receiver Steve Smith (broken arm) and the unheralded stable of receivers behind him did nothing to quell concerns Smith will be the Panthers’ only option.
Moore badly overthrew rookie Brandon LaFell on a deep pass on Carolina’s opening possession. LaFell, a third-round pick, had trouble holding onto passes after getting hit. Kenny Moore had some drops, while Dwayne Jarrett struggled to get open. Playing their second game in six days, Ryan played the Jets’ starters a little over a quarter. Even that didn’t help Carolina’s sluggish offense. The Panthers’ starting unit failed to pick up a first down in four series against New York’s second team in the second quarter, finishing with 45 yards on 33 plays in the first half. It was such a sloppy game that one of the biggest cheers in the first half was a sarcastic one, after Captain Munnerlyn cleanly caught a punt for Carolina.

A short-sleeved orange polo shirt hangs in my closet, not far from two longsleeved red polos. When I pull any of them off the hanger, I stop and think. Where I am going today? Who am I going to see? Am I going to be on camera? Makes me feel like Posh Spice, but it goes with the job. People are watching. People take notice. People like Bobby Petrino. The Arkansas football coach fielded a question from a Fayetteville radio personality wearing a Florida Gators cap, and now Renee Gork is out of a job. Petrino answered Gork’s question, then said, “And that will be the last question I answer with that hat on.” Radio station KAKS fired Gork on Monday, with general manager Dan Storrs saying, “This radio station is Hog Sports Radio. We are very biased. We support the Razorbacks 100 percent.” This is only the latest in a line of college football media/coach clashes. Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy’s rant at my colleague Jenni Carlson. Florida coach Urban Meyer’s threat of the Orlando Sentinel’s Jeremy Fowler. A dozen other quieter but no less contentious altercations. In the Ozarks, you can pin the blame on everyone. Arkansas officials say they didn’t request Gork’s dismissal but did say they asked that she not attend Monday’s practice, which is incredibly presumptuous. Hog Sports Radio showed itself to be nothing but FAO, for amusement only. The station has no backbone at all. Radio listeners of northwest Arkansas now know they can listen to a filtered feed that will step on no Razorback toes. And of course, Gork herself, who deserved to be fired for stupidity. FloridaArkansas isn’t one of the nation’s most-heated rivalries, but this is the Southeastern Conference, where they all hate each other and most everyone is crazy, starting with the football coaches. Gork said she grabbed the Florida cap without thinking. Well, she’s paid to think. You don’t wear a Florida hat to an Arkansas news conference. You don’t wear a Texas cap to an Oklahoma news conference. To do so brands you as either brazen or stupid or both. You see, college football fans keep track of this stuff. Coaches, too. When Stoops met our newly hired sports editor, Mike Sherman, in 2003, Stoops’ only question was, “Where did you go to school?” Stoops wasn’t making conversation.

Busch owns Bristol BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Kyle Busch made NASCAR history Saturday night with an unprecedented sweep of three national races in one week, completing the trifecta with a victory in the Sprint Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Busch hoisted a broom in Victory Lane, where he made his third visit in four days. He also won the Nationwide race Friday night, and the Trucks race Wednesday night to become the first driver to complete the sweep since NASCAR expanded to three national series in 1995. “I’ve been trying to do this since I got to NASCAR,” said Busch, who has tried for a three-race sweep five times in his career. “I love Bristol and I love winning. And to do it for the first time ever in NASCAR, to sweep the weekend, man, that’s pretty awesome.”
his ongoing feud with Brad Keselowski. Busch admitted to intentionally wrecking Keselowski late in the Nationwide race, and he celebrated that win by mockingly rubbing his eyes like a crying baby as the crowd showered him with boos. Keselowski vowed revenge over the public address system, to the delight of the Bristol crowd. The barbs continued all the way up to the start of the Cup race. As Busch was booed in pre-race introductions, he sarcastically told the crowd, “Aw, you’re so loving.” Keselowski was introduced moAssociAted press Bristol winner Kyle Busch holds up three ments later, taking the microphone fingers indicating his third race won in and earning a thunderous cheer by saying, “I’m Brad Keselowski ...

Busch is (a jerk).” There was almost no chance of an The Cup victory, his third of the sea- on-track altercation, though, as the son and third in the last four at Bristol, See RACE, 4B was drama-free after another round in
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Brian Vickers had heart surgery last month as part of his treatment for blood clots, but the NASCAR driver said he fully expects to resume his racing career next season. Vickers has been out since May because of clots in his leg and lungs. In his first update in three months, Vickers said Saturday he had two procedures in July to close a hole in his heart and insert a stent into a vein in his left leg. Although doctors diagnosed him with the blood-clot disorder May-Thurner syndrome, Vickers believes he’ll be off blood thinners by Jan. 1 and driving for Red Bull Racing when next season begins. “They gave me full clearance for next year,” the 26year-old driver said at Bristol Motor Speedway. “I will be back next season racing in January. I’m really excited about that. I had two issues I never knew about fixed. It’s a bit of fresh air for me to really kind of know part of what caused this.” Vickers was hospitalized in May with chest pains that led to the discovery of blood clots in his leg and lungs. He said he’d stop driving the rest of the season while undergoing treatment, and revealed Saturday the discovery of a third

With and without Eagles, ’Skins both happy with QB’s place BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Donovan McNabb likes to crack jokes, play loose and be silly. His act wore thin in Philadelphia, even though he was the best quarterback in franchise history. In the nation’s capital, McNabb is a welcomed addition. It begs the question: Are the Philadelphia Eagles better off without No. 5? Are the Washington Redskins better with him? The answer could be yes to both questions. McNabb went to six Pro Bowls and led the Eagles to eight playoff appearances, five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl in 11 seasons. But he didn’t win the big one, and the organization decided to move on with Kevin Kolb. Though Kolb has started just
two games in three seasons, he’s received high praise from coaches, teammates and analysts. He’s considered a born leader who is perfectly suited to run Philadelphia’s offense. “He’s not like a first-time starting quarterback,” wide receiver Jeremy Maclin said. “He knows what he’s doing out there. On the field, you see him directing guys where to go and what adjustments to make. It’s like he’s been doing this for years.” While McNabb did his thing in Philly, the Redskins had a revolving door at quarterback. They used 10 different starters in 11 years and only one made a Pro Bowl — Brad Johnson in 1999. Washington won only two playoff games in that span. So, McNabb brings stability and a strong pedigree to a critical position. AssociAted press

Minus Ben, Steelers win EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers may be fine without the suspended Ben Roethlisberger for the start of the season. Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon combined to lead three long touchdown drives after Roethlisberger made his preseason debut and the Steelers beat the Giants 24-17 on Saturday night, spoiling New York’s first home game in its new $1.6 billion stadium. Roethlisberger, suspended for the opening six games of the regular season by commissioner Roger Goodell for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, was solid in his first game since the suspension was announced. He completed six of eight passes for 76 yards and an interception and led the Steelers on a 13-play, 58-yard drive that lasted seven-plus minutes and ended in a 26-yard field goal by Jeff Reed. Saints 38, Texans 20 NEW ORLEANS — Drew Brees led New Orleans to two touchdowns — handing off to Reggie Bush for a 9-yard scoring run and leaping over center from a yard out to put New Orleans up 14-0 in the first quarter. Brees completed 5 of 10 for 36 yards. There wasn’t much drop off when Chase Daniel took over in the second quarter for the Super Bowl champion Saints (1-1) in their first home game since the NFC title game. Daniel worked the last three quarters of the game and completed 15 of 21 for 182 yards and three touchdowns. Raiders 32, Bears 17 CHICAGO — Oakland reserve linebacker Slade Norris recovered a muffed punt in the end zone for a go-ahead TD and later blocked a punt for a safety. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, who missed all but one game last season after hurting his wrist in the season opener, injured his calf on the opening drive. Buccaneers 20, Chiefs 15 TAMPA, Fla. — Injured Josh Freeman’s backups, Josh Johnson and Rudy Carpenter, each threw for a touchdown, and Micheal Spurlock scored on a 53-yard reception. Ravens 23, Redskins 3 LANDOVER, Md. — Baltimore safety Haruki Nakamura took a direct snap on fourth-and6 and juked his way 51 yards — all the way to the 1 — in the second quarter to set up the only touchdown scored by either first-team offense. The Redskins lost fullback Mike Sellers and free safety Kareem Moore with knee injuries. Rams 19, Browns 17 CLEVELAND — Josh Brown made a 28-yard field goal, his fourth field goal of the game, with 3:33 left to lift St. Louis (1-1). Jake Delhomme, making his home debut for Cleveland (1-1), was accurate and efficient in a steady first-half downpour, completing 12 of 16 passes.

SWIMMING IRVINE, Calif. — World recordholder Ryan Lochte has qualified fastest in the 200-meter individual medley heats at the Pan Pacific
championships. The American was timed in 1 minute, 58.03 seconds Saturday. His teammate Tyler Clary was second in 1:58.56. Michael Phelps dropped out of the heats, with his coach Bob Bowman saying Phelps isn’t in good enough shape to swim two IMs and the 400 medley relay final in one day.
NBA NEW YORK — A chastened Jayson Williams admitted Friday he was driving drunk when he slammed his SUV into a tree, capping years of legal and personal problems with a guilty plea that adds more time behind bars for the already imprisoned former NBA star. His voice sometimes unsteady, Williams apologized to his family and said he was working to rebuild his life as he pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in the Jan. 5 crash. His one-year sentence — the maximum for the misdemeanor offense — will follow the fiveyear prison term he’s serving in New Jersey for accidentally

MCNABB FroM 1B “I think it’s more psychological for the team, because everybody knows what he’s done,” fullback Mike Sellers said. “There’s no guessing, no questioning. He’s proven. Just coming out with that mindset makes everything a lot better.” McNabb’s success in Philadelphia is tarnished somewhat by off-field issues. He was a model citizen and class act throughout his tenure with the Eagles, but seemingly always found himself in the middle of odd controversies. There was the famous booing on draft day, which he never forgot. There was Rush Limbaugh’s critical comments in 2003, the feud with Terrell Owens in ’05, the halftime benching in ’08, vomiting incidents in the huddle and three regular season-ending injuries. McNabb’s personality sometimes rubbed people the wrong way, too, especially when he portrayed himself as a sympathetic figure or promoted his leadership skills. His critics say true leaders don’t talk about it, they just do it. McNabb angered his younger teammates last year when he said the Eagles showed their youth after a costly loss. The final straw for many fans and some radio talk-show hosts was Mc-
BANNED SUBSTANCE MIAMI — Saying catcher Ronny Paulino’s decision to take a banned substance was “extraordinarily disappointing,” the Florida Marlins will begin a top-to-bottom review of the organization and how it educates players on what they can legally take under baseball’s rules. Paulino was suspended 50 games after he tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance under Major League Baseball’s drug policy. In a statement released by the team, the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Paulino said he took a diet pill. The Marlins have had four players suspended under the minor league policy this season as well.

BASKETBALL MADRID — Kevin Durant scored 15 points and the United States overcame a poor shooting start and early nerves to beat Lithuania 77-61 Saturday in a warmup for the basketball world championship. The U.S. trailed 15-7 after shooting 3 of 21 and making six turnovers in the first period. The Americans regained their composure against an equally poor-shooting opponent, taking the lead for good at 54-49 near the end of the third period. It was part of a 17-0 run led by Russell Westbrook and Eric Gordon. The U.S. plays defending world champion Spain today.

The NFL notebook ... CINCINNATI — Terrell Owens isn’t acting his age. The 36-year-old receiver has put some bite back into the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense, bringing them a big-play threat that was missing during their AFC North championship season last year. And he’s not at all surprised. Owens caught a 43-yard pass along the sideline Friday night, setting up the starting offense’s only touchdown during a 22-9 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles that showed he’s still got a lot left. “I’m very talented, I keep myself in shape,” Owens said. “So everybody can think I’ve slowed down. If they want to play me like that, that’s fine.” Owens had three catches for 67 yards in the first half, and ran 1 yard on a reverse. He’s been the Bengals’ top receiver in three preseason games even though he’s still learning the play book. “He’s as good as anyone when he gets on top of a corner,” QB Carson Palmer said. “We’re going to take shots.” Cincinnati signed him to a one-year deal as training camp opened with receiver Antonio Bryant sidelined by a troublesome left knee. Palmer worked out with Owens on the West Coast in July, saw that he could still run and urged the Bengals to bring him aboard, giving him another playmaker. That one play showed why. “That’s what they brought me here for, right? Deep threat,” Owens said. “Beat your guy, get down the field, make the catch. We’ve got it all in our arsenal.” His over-the-shoulder catch set up the only touchdown while both teams had their starters in the game. HARVIN BACK EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Minnesota

Bengals receiver terrell owens (81) walks off the field with eagles head coach Andy reid after Friday’s preseason game. Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin is back with the team after an overnight hospital stay following a scary migraine attack, though his return to the field remains unclear. Harvin was on the practice field wearing a T-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes, drinking Gatorade while smiling and chatting with coaches. Harvin was taken away from Winter Park by ambulance Thursday after getting sick and collapsing on the field, a sobering scene that prompted the Vikings to end practice early. APOLOGY PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills tight end Shawn Nelson apologized Saturday for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, saying he did nothing illegal. “To my team, my family, my church family, the great city of Buffalo, and my fans I want to apologize,” Nelson said Nelson after practice. “It’s nothing bad; nothing illegal that happened.”
Nabb’s air-guitar entrance onto the field before his final game — a 34-14 loss at Dallas in the playoffs. Would Drew Brees, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady act that way before a big game? Kolb, the son of a football coach, takes a serious approach. He also leads in a quieter way. “I’ve always tried to be a leader, even in the backup role,” Kolb said. “There are some things that do change, but I don’t want to go outside of my comfort zone or do anything that’s not expected of me. I want to be myself and do the things that are asked and expected. I know there won’t be any problem with it, and the guys will respond well.” Teammates love Kolb’s confidence and intensity. They also relate better to him because he’s just 26 and the average age of Philadelphia’s projected starters on offense is 25.3. “Kevin reminds me of exactly what he is, that quarterback from Texas that you know is like, ’Let’s kick some butt, take some names and have a good time doing it,”’ wide receiver Hank Baskett said. “Donovan had a lot of intangibles that come with the years that he spent here and I wish Donovan the best, but right now I’d say Kevin is doing a really good job out here.” The Redskins say glowing things about McNabb. They’ve bought into everything he brings to the table. Why not? McNabb certainly

DONOVAN MCNABB is an upgrade from what they’ve had over the years. “It’s his swagger. Donovan comes in and he knows he can win a game for you,” center Casey Rabach said. “You know he can do great things. We have obviously seen a lot of him in the past from playing in the same division, and everyone is just as confident in his ability.” McNabb’s presence in a burgundy and gold uniform should make the RedskinsEagles rivalry more interesting, too. Both teams hate the Dallas Cowboys more, and the Giants are a natural rival for the Eagles because of proximity. But now the most-anticipated game in the NFL this season is McNabb’s return to Philadelphia on Oct. 3. It’ll be strange to see McNabb in different colors and he’ll certainly hear some boos. But it’s likely he’ll also get a loud ovation because most fans seem to have appreciated his performance for 11 seasons. They were just ready to move on. Obviously, so was management.
People draw lines; it’s part of the culture, and even though some of us fight against it, we’re swimming upstream. In case you want to keep score at home, among The Oklahoman’s 10 writers or editors whose responsibility include the Bedlam rivals, two went to Oklahoma (including yours truly), one to Oklahoma State and seven went elsewhere. But my OU time was a bit different. After eight years of working full-time in the newspaper business, I entered college at the age of 26 and graduated 10 years later. Don’t accuse me of painting my face red or camping out for Texas tickets. That wasn’t my college experience. You can accuse me of being an Oklahoma fan. I want the Sooners to do well. But you better brand me an Oklahoma State fan at the same time. I’m pulling for the Cowboys, too. I spent more years as a Cowboys beat writer (six) than on the Sooners beat. I want to see the Cowboys ride high. I’m an Oklahoman; I want our schools to thrive in every endeavor, and if you’re one of those people who builds a barrier between the two schools, well, you baffle me. Moving on, one problem with modern media is that once we were a bastion of neutrality. No longer. From radio reporters with a “Boomer Sooner” ring tone to television anchors on both schools’ broadcast crew to Internet sites devoted only to the advancement of a favorite team, the lines have blurred. In some ways, we’ve returned to the 19th century partisan press, where media — at that time, publications only — openly admitted to partisanship. That’s what we now have in political coverage, with the likes of cable’s Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly. It’s come to sports, too, and you can’t
blame a football coach with a wary eye on who is covering his football team. Stoops claimed little knowledge of what happened in the Ozarks but said if he’s asked a question in a public forum, “I’m going to answer ’em whatever they’re wearing.” But if someone comes to his practice, as a courtesy, wearing a shirt or cap of an opponent, it’s change or get out. I’m not going to have somebody flash something in our face.” Gundy said he doesn’t have time to worry about such things and Tuesday night claimed not to even know what people wore in his just-concluded press briefing. He might have been telling the truth. He scoured the room, still full of media chatting with players, to see what reporters were wearing. Stoops chatted openly Tuesday about the blurred lines. Said he’s no longer interested in hearing about journalistic integrity, when so many of us have gone into what he calls entertainment. Locally and nationally, he’s got a point. Most everyone is double- or triple-dipping. Newspaper writers on television or radio. Most everyone writing opinion for the Internet, to some degree. Of course, a counter to Stoops’ argument is that the opinion-based phenomenon started when coaches began limiting media interviews. More media outlets, combined with less access to the players, makes for combustion. Gundy admitted he’s “not really fired up about the Internet,” but “the only problem I ever have is something not based on fact. Otherwise, if they write something not favorable about OSU football, they don’t have to worry about walking by me in the hallway.” The gulf between media and the sportsmen we cover likely will grow. The least we can do is maintain some professionalism. Get things right. Be fair. Show up and take our medicine when we rip someone. And when it’s raining, and the only hat in the house is a Gator cap, grab an umbrella.

MASON, Ohio — A seven-minute rain delay saved Mardy Fish. Fish turned the brief break in the second set into a rallying point Saturday. Only one game away from a straight-set defeat, he pulled out 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-1 victory over boyhood friend and high school teammate Andy Roddick in an allAmerican semifinal at the Cincinnati Masters. He’ll play second-ranked Roger Federer for the title. Federer beat unseeded Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 6-3 in an evening semifinal that lasted only 70 minutes. MEN’S CHAMP OUT Juan Martin del Potro says he will not defend his U.S. Open title because he “cannot compete at the top level yet” after having surgery on his right wrist in May. Del Potro hasn’t played since January’s Australian Open. He says in a statement released by the ATP on Saturday that he began practicing in the last two weeks in hopes of playing at Flushing Meadows, where he won his first major championship by upsetting Roger Federer in the final. He becomes only the third U.S. Open men’s champion in the 42-year Open era to not defend his title. His announcement comes a day after No. 1-ranked Serena Williams pulled out, citing a foot injury.

Salisbury wins in Wilmington BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com
Saturday matches against elite competition have capped the tennis season for Salisbury’s girls each of the last five years. The Hornets thrived in a playoff setting this weekend, winning the Port City Invitational in Wilmington. Salisbury, which has reached five consecutive 2A finals and captured three titles in that span, beat Middle Creek (4A), Cardinal Gibbons (3A) and East Chapel Hill (4A) to take first in the eight-team field. The Hornets won 9-0 against Gibbons, which is tied for No. 1 in the 3A rankings, on Saturday morning before earning a 6-3 victory against East Chapel Hill, which is ranked seventh in 4A. “We’ve never done an invitational before,” Salisbury coach Chris Myers said. “When we had the opportunity to come to the beach and compete against some of these schools, we just couldn’t pass on it. It was a great opportunity for the girls to experience some real high-level tennis. In the past a lot of times we had to wait until October and November for that.” Joy Loeblein, Erika Nelson, Katelyn Storey, Anna Page, Madeline Hoskins and Anna Flynn won singles matches against Gib-
bons. Nelson-Storey, Loeblein-Page and Hoskins-Flynn prevailed in doubles. Loeblein broke a string on her primary racket early in the first set of a 6-2, 2-6, (119) victory at No. 1 against Caroline Smith. Loeblein broke a string on her backup racket late in the second set and briefly had to borrow one before her father returned from a trip to have the first racket restrung. Loeblein fell behind 6-2 in the supertiebreaker but pulled ahead and had a match point before missing a volley at 9-8. Loeblein won the next two points to close out the match. “Joy just never showed any negative energy,” Myers said. “It was just an exceptional effort.” East Chapel Hill participated in singles without top player Tessa Johnson, who is competing only in doubles as she returns from an injury. Nelson, Storey, Page, Hoskins and Flynn gave Salisbury a 5-1 lead, and Loeblein-Page won at No. 2 doubles. “All the girls did an exceptional job in singles and in doubles,” Myers said. “We had some matches that were closer than the score indicates, whether it was Gibbons or East Chapel Hill, and we had to play some very, very high-quality tennis. It’s a great building block for the rest of the season.”
You don’t need wins to contend for title Associated Press
The NASCAR notebook ... BRISTOL, Tenn. — Jeff Gordon hasn’t been to Victory Lane this year, yet he won’t bemoan his winless streak if he’s holding the Sprint Cup championship trophy at the end of the season. “I’ll be fine winning the championship without winning a single race. I’ll take pride in it, absolutely. You win it however you win it, you know?” said Gordon, who took a career-worst 52race losing streak into Saturday night’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway. “Do I want to win the championship without having a win? No. But I’ll still take it and take it proudly.” Half of the drivers ranked in the top 12 before Saturday night’s race are winless this season, while defending four-time champion Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin lead the series with five victories each. Those wins will be used in seeding the top 12 at the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and the victor at the end of the season won’t necessarily be the driver with the most wins. A winless driver has never won the championship — Matt Kenseth had one win in 2003, the last season before the Chase — but Kyle Busch (eight wins) and Carl Edwards (nine) both fell short of the title in 2008 despite having more wins than champion Johnson. So consistency is often relied upon to win the title, as Kurt Busch did in the inaugural 2004 Chase with one
victory over the 10 races. For now, during the 26race “regular season,” chasing bonus points is the goal of all Chase drivers. Come Chase time, it’s all about chasing points. “I’ll take the check. I’ll take the trophy,” said twotime champion Tony Stewart, who won one of his titles under the Chase format. “I don’t care if I didn’t finish in the top 10 the last 10 weeks, if I got enough points to win the championship. I don’t care where I finish as long as I get more than the rest of them do.” • THE FAVORITE? Nobody wants to step into the role of favorite for this year’s title, and Jimmie Johnson and Kevin Harvick took turns at Bristol giving each other the label. Harvick, with three victories this season, is the current Sprint Cup Series points leader and proving to be a contender each week down the stretch. “I do think that those guys should be considered the favorites,” said Johnson, the four-time defending champion. “If you look at their success on all types of tracks, (Harvick) is doing a great job collecting a lot of points everywhere we go. I know for a lot of people (last weekend’s) win at Michigan solidified things for them, but to us in the garage area and watching the points total, it’s all about collecting points. “You don’t have to win a race in the Chase to be the champion. They’re on fire right now; they’re doing a great job.”

Jeff Gordon, left, signs autographs before the start of the irwin tools night race saturday.. Harvick has held the top spot in the standings for 14 straight weeks, dating to Richmond in May. But Johnson, who started Saturday night ranked fifth in the points, is still the driver to beat, Harvick said. “I still think the No. 48 team is the team to beat,” Harvick said. “No matter how good somebody runs, I still think that those guys are the ones to beat just for the fact that they have won it the last four years being in a somewhat similar situation. Obviously, we’ve run well and we feel like we can contend for a championship. But contending and winning are two different things, and I think we’ve shown we can win races and have shown that we can run good. “But, I still think until somebody completes the deal and knocks them off, they have to be the ones you have to beat just because they have done it four times.” • NOBODY CONFERRED WITH VICKERS: Red Bull Racing will welcome Kasey Kahne into the organization next
season on a one-year contract, but the issue of what car he drives for the organization has yet to be officially determined. Don’t bother asking Brian Vickers what he thinks will happen though. Vickers, in his first appearance Saturday since getting out of his car in May to be treated for blood clots, said the team never even told him Kahne was being hired. “I actually read about it online,” Vickers said. “I didn’t even know anything about it.” Kahne will drive for Red Bull next year only, and is slated to move to Hendrick Motorsports in 2012 to replace Mark Martin. Red Bull has been vague as to where it will put Kahne. It’s currently a twocar team with Scott Speed and Vickers, although four different drivers have filled in for Vickers the last three months. Vickers said Saturday he’ll be back next season, so Red Bull’s only options are to either field a third car for Kahne or give him Speed’s seat.
Edwards to run full schedule in 2011 Associated Press
BRISTOL, Tenn. — Carl Edwards said Friday he has committed to racing the full Nationwide Series schedule next season. Edwards said he will drive the full season in NASCAR’s second-tier series even if he’s not eligible to race for the Nationwide championship. “That’s a great team I’ve got over there,” he said. “We’ve got a great shop and a bunch of people that work very hard. I kind of halfway committed to doing it a year ago, these two years, so (if) NASCAR says that we can’t race for driver’s points, I still feel like I owe it to my
guys and my sponsors and myself to follow through and do what I said I’d do.” NASCAR is currently discussing rule changes to the Nationwide Series to develop its brand. One of the proposals is making full-time Sprint Cup drivers ineligible for the title. Edwards is in his sixth season running a full Nationwide schedule. He won the title in 2007. Edwards doesn’t like NASCAR’s proposal of eliminating Cup drivers from Nationwide title contention because it only really affects a small handful of drivers. Edwards and Keselowski are the only two running the full schedule this year, although Cup drivers Kyle Busch,
Kevin Harvick and Paul Menard are all ranked inside the top 10 in standings. And, the last driver who was not racing in the Cup Series to win the Nationwide title was Martin Truex Jr. in 2005. “I look at it as NASCAR, by saying that we can’t race for drivers points, is really only hurting a couple teams — myself and Brad’s team,” Edwards said. “I think we might be the only two guys who are planning on doing it again next year, anyway, so if it’s good for the series, if it pacifies some complaints out there or whatever is going on and it only hurts two guys, then that’s a pretty good deal for NASCAR.”
two hardly raced near each other for most of the night. Keselowski did make it hard for Busch to pass him late in the race, when Keselowski was fighting not to go a lap down, but Busch made a clean move around him in his No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota after several attempts. “Great job,” his team radioed after the pass. “I know,” Busch replied. “I have more class.” Crew chief Dave Rogers reiterated that after Busch completed the victory. “Some wiseguys got introduced behind him, and he raced like a champion and handled it with class all day,” Rogers said. David Reutimann rallied from a bout with food poisoning to finish second in a Toyota for Michael Waltrip Racing, his first top-15 finish since winning at Chicago last month. “I feel really, really good about the finish, but I’m not feeling so hot right now,” Reutimann said after the race. “I’m ready to go to sleep at some point. Maybe now.” Jamie McMurray was third in a Chevrolet for Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing, a finish good enough to move him to 13th in the standings. He trails Clint Bowyer by 100 points for the 12th and final

He had surgery July 12 to close the passageway, and a second procedure to insert the stent was done the next day. Vickers said he made a choice between having heart surgery to fix the hole, or “not to close it and run the risk of having a stroke. “I would rather die than have a stroke,” he said. “I don’t wan to run the risk of living like a vegetable.” It was during the heart surgery that Vickers said doctors confirmed their theory he was suffering from May-Thurner, a blood clot disorder that increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Still on blood thinners Coumadin and Plavix, Vickers said he’s been told he’ll stop taking them in time to race next season. The 2011 season officially begins in

There’s two races to go in the “regular season.” “I’m really fortunate this year that we were able to win those two big races because if we don’t make the Chase, it’s not going to be devastating,” said McMurray, winner of the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400. Bowyer rallied from an early pit-road speeding penalty to finish fourth in a Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, and he moved a step closer to locking down the final spot in the Chase. Mark Martin, who started the night 35 points Bowyer in 13th place, finished 23rd and is now 14th in the standings, 101 points out. Kasey Kahne was fifth in a Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports, and Ryan Newman was sixth in a Chevrolet for Stewart-Haas Racing. Juan Pablo Montoya, McMurray’s teammate, finished seventh despite damage to his car from contact that wrecked four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. The polesitter, Johnson finished 35th. Greg Biffle was eighth in a Ford for Roush-Fenway Racing, Penske Racing’s Kurt Busch was the highest finishing Dodge, and RFR’s Matt Kenseth rounded out the top 10.
Daytona in February. Doctors believe he’ll be off the medication by Jan. 1 and cleared to race again next season. Red Bull has used four different drivers in the No. 83 Toyota since Vickers got out of the car following his May 13 trip to a Washington, D.C., emergency room. “What I love to do is race, it’s not only my job, it’s my passion,” he said. “I definitely am missing that need for speed. I missed being in the car, missed going 200 mph and missed banging fenders with the guys I love and hate.” Vickers has not been at the track much since his diagnosis, saying he’s chosen to use this medical leave as an opportunity to travel and spend time with friends and family. He’s been active riding bikes, swimming and golfing, and believes he’s in the best shape of his life and will be ready to go in 2011. “I have a new appreciation for life,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it and I’m excited to race.”

Associated Press BALTIMORE — Rookie Josh Bell hit his first two major league home runs, part of an unprecedented long-ball barrage against Cliff Lee that carried the Baltimore Orioles past the slumping Texas Rangers 8-6 Saturday. Ty Wigginton and Luke Scott also connected against Lee, who never before yielded four homers in a game. The left-hander has given up 13 home runs this season — seven against Baltimore. Lee (10-7) had gone five starts since July 22 without surrendering a homer. He allowed a career-high tying eight runs, 10 hits and a walk in 52⁄3 innings. Josh Hamilton hit his 27th homer and had three RBIs for the Rangers, who have lost five of six and 11 of 15. Red Sox 5, Blue Jays 4, 11 innings BOSTON — Jed Lowrie homered to lead off the 11th inning, lifting the Red Sox to a win over Toronto. Boston catcher Victor Martinez drove in three runs to go along with a solid defensive play on a jarring collision. He held onto a relay throw as Lyle Overbay knocked him over for the final out of the fourth. Overbay had a game-tying, two-run homer for Toronto after going 4-for-5 with a career-best seven RBIs in Friday’s win. Yankees 9, Mariners 5 NEW YORK — Eduardo Nunez drove in the go-ahead run with his first career hit in the seventh inning, and the New York bullpen patched together six stellar innings in a victory over Seattle. Nunez got the start in place of Alex Rodriguez, who was placed on the disabled list iwith a lingering left calf injury — not that it has mattered much this season. The Yankees improved to 11-0 when the slugger doesn’t play. Angels 9, Twins 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Peter Bourjos hit his

Former bricklayer reopens Spencer restaurant
August
BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
PENCER — A former bricklayer has reopened a Spencer eating institution. The Great Recession forced Ronnie Linker, 51, out of the construction industry a year and a half ago. He’s always wanted to run a restaurant, so Linker decided to bring back the Chicken and Oyster Shack at 1205 N. Salisbury Ave. in front of the Moose Lodge. “I was a bricklayer, but I didn’t have any brick to lay,” Linker said. The Chicken and Oyster Shack first opened in 1950 on U.S. 29 north of Spencer and moved to the present location in 1979. Three generations of the Agner family ran the restaurant until 1996, when Susan Morris and Richard Monroe bought it. “I’m so tickled,” said Morris, who operated the Chicken and Oyster Shack for about six years. “I’m so excited he’s brought it back.” Linker had talked to Morris about re-

He impressed her with his line-up of cooks, including Jeff Moose, former chef at Miss Ruby’s in Gold Hill, and Jonathan Beattie, grandson of Jim Beattie, who ran Beattie’s Open Kitchen on Fisher Street. “When he told me who would be cooking, I knew he was bringing the best of Rowan County back to one location,” Morris said.
Linker spent about six months fixing up the building, which had been vacant for a year and a half. A variety of restaurants have opened and closed at the location, but Morris said she believes this one will last. “He already has a great local clientele,” she said, including customers from Lexington and Tyro. “He’s really researched it.” Many of his customers dined at the original Chicken and Oyster Shack. Menu favorites include homemade chicken and dumplings, battered fries and chicken and oysters, of course. The restaurant also offers a variety of seafood as well as spaghetti and fresh chicken tenders. The batter is made from scratch, “and our vegetables are like mom fixes,” Linker said. The restaurant stays until 10 p.m. Wednesdays for Bike Night, featuring 40 cent wings, and until 11 p.m. Saturdays for karaoke. Regular hours are 6

Retirement tied to BP’s fate BY BRUCE WILLIAMS United Feature Syndicate
DEAR BRUCE: I recently I retired from Atlantic Richfield (ARCO) after 35 years of employment. I was receiving my pension and health insurance benefits from ARCO until a few years ago, when ARCO merged into BP. Until recently, I have been receiving my pension and health-insurance benefits from BP. With the heavy financial strain placed on BP by the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, I am quite concerned as to whether or not my pension is endangered should BP go under. — Michael via e-mail
New owner Ronnie Linker, left, works with Jeff Moose, right, and ‘Bird’ Beattie in the kitchen. A customer pays as waitress Magan Givens handles the register.
DEAR MICHAEL: There is no question that BP will be paying enormous amounts of money to resolve the problem in the Gulf. That having being said, I think you can rest easy. I don’t believe there will be any effect on your pension or the general financial help of BP. You can rest assured that the United Kingdom will be watching this very closely, as BP has enormous responsibilities there. Everything that I have read or heard indicates that BP will be around for

Linker, who grew up in China Grove and reopened the Shack a month ago, said he’s quickly learning the restaurant trade, doing everything from cooking to cleaning. “I’m just now getting to where I get out of the kitchen to mingle with the people,� he said. That’s his favorite part of the job. “I’ve always wanted a restaurant because of the people, just a place to go to enjoy yourself,� he said. The Shack can seat up to 150 and has a private banquet room. Linker said he knows it’s risky to open a restaurant in this economy. “A business is a business, no matter how you look at it. You take a risk no matter what you do,� he said. “It don’t matter if you’re laying brick or putting up vinyl siding or opening a restaurant. A business is a business.�

Haiti ruling ends Wyclef Jean’s run for president PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — In the span of a few weeks, hip-hop star Wyclef Jean turned the world’s attention to a little-known political race in a small, impoverished Caribbean country — with little campaigning, no TV ads and zero debates. Within a few seconds at a hastily called news conference Friday night, Jean was barred from running for president in Haiti, presumably because he didn’t meet the residency requirements. The 40-year-old singersongwriter says he will stay involved, though in “a different role than I had anticipated it to be,” according to his statement Friday. But the question is, how? Will he support one of the 19 candidates on the ballot? And will he help with the reconstruction of the earthquaketorn country? Jean said little Saturday as he attended a church service in Croix des Bouquets, the small town northeast of Portau-Prince where he was born. He was preparing to fly back to the United States where his wife and daughter live later in the day. “It’s been a hard couple of weeks,” he told The Associated Press. “Right now, I just want to go with my family and relax.” Jean said he believed that he had filed the necessary pa-

Stolen Van Gogh painting recovered in Cairo

Hip hop artist Wyclef Jean perwork regarding his residency, adding, “Somehow we got overruled.” Haiti’s electoral council did not say why it had disqualified Jean, but the singer had faced a challenge to his candidacy because he has not lived in Haiti for the past five years as required. Jean’s five-paragraph statement Friday said he disagreed with the council’s ruling but “respectfully” accepted its decision. “I want to assure my countrymen that I will continue to work for Haiti’s renewal; though the board has determined that I am not a resident of Haiti, home is where the heart is — and my heart has and will always be in Haiti,” he wrote. The winner of the November vote will take charge of recovery from the Jan. 12 earthquake, coordinating billions of aid dollars in a country with a history of political turmoil and corruption. The quake killed an estimated 300,000 people. There was little evidence in Port-au-Prince on Saturday of protests or unrest due to the electoral council’s decision.
CAIRO (AP) — Police recovered a painting by Vincent van Gogh at the Cairo airport Saturday, hours after it was stolen from a museum in the Egyptian capital, the country’s culture minister said. Farouk Hosni said security officers at the airport confiscated the painting from an Italian couple as they were trying to leave the country. The work of art, which Hosni said was valued at $50 million, was stolen earlier Saturday from Cairo’s Mahmoud Khalil Museum. No further details were immediately available on
how the artwork by the Dutchborn postimpressionist was stolen or recovered. It is the second time this painting, which is called both “Poppy Flowers” and “Vase with Flowers,” has been stolen from the Khalil museum. Thieves first made off with the canvas in 1978, before authorities recovered it two years later at an undisclosed location in Kuwait. Officials have never fully revealed the details of that theft. When it was recovered, Egypt’s then-interior minister said three Egyptians involved in the heist had been arrested and informed police where the canvas was hidden. Authori-
ties never reported whether the thieves were charged or tried. The one-foot-by-one-foot canvas, believed to have been painted in 1887, resembles a flower scene by the French artist Adolphe Monticelli, whose work deeply affected van Gogh. The Monticelli painting also is part of the Khalil collection. Most of the works for which van Gogh is remembered were painted in 29 months of frenzied activity before his suicide in 1890 at age 37. The Cairo canvas is significant because it represents a turning point in van Gogh’s painting style, said Conor Jor-
dan, the head of impressionist and modern art at Christie’s auction house in New York. “It shows him assimilating the influences of the French avant-garde after having arrived in 1886 (from Amsterdam), absorbing as much as possible the current trend of French painting,” Jordan told the Associated Press. He added that it was a time when van Gogh was “immersed in this wonderful new world of color.” Jordan said that van Gogh’s work has a particular “resonance” with the public today, and the story of his life and career carries a powerful message.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) - Get together with a close friend if s/he is available, and let this person help you thrash out what’s been bothering you. Anyone who likes you will be happy to help out. ARIES (March 21-April 19) - Go digging in that scrap heap for a lost interest that can be resurrected. Conditions have changed for something you dumped a while back, and it now has wonderful potential for being quite useful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - Fences can be mended if you desire, but you will have to be the one who extends the hand of friendship. Don’t be stubborn or too proud to be the peacemaker whenever you can. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - The best way to assure success in a collective endeavor is to look out for the interests of everyone involved, not just your own. It’s got to be “one for all and all for one.” CANCER (June 21-July 22) - Pay attention to every detail and aspect in your business dealings, and don’t take anything for granted. You might be able to turn something that’s been going wrong to your advantage.

In the distance Getting from Bagram to Kabul is no joy ride emember how in the old cowboy movies they judged distance in time, not length? The next town with a sheriff in it wasn’t said to be 30 miles away but “a day’s ride.” Although the Army teaches us to be very precise when measuring such things as distance we might as well go back to such phrases, because the 30 miles between Bagram and Kabul are sometimes “a day’s ride” and other times more appropriately described as “you can’t get there from here.” A few weeks ago I needed to travel down to Kabul for a day or two to meet with personnel in the USFOR-A headquarters. I didn’t have to be there on any specific day or time but was going simply to introduce myself and make a few contacts for the future. It is much safer to travel by air than by highway, and for this trip I elected to travel by airplane instead of helicopter. I decided to take an early morning flight so that I would have a lot of flexibility in getting from the airport to the downtown headquarters compound. It isn’t as simple as calling a taxi. Each compound is a small oasis of security, and you travel between them expecting the worst. That means in armored cars (from big bullet-proof SUVs to vehicles that resemble a tank on wheels) while bringing along plenty of wellarmed friends. My days pretty well went like this: I trudged the ¾ mile to the passenger (PAX) terminal early Monday with my pack and body armor only to learn that the morning flight was canceled, and there were no other flights until that evening. I trudged back. That evening I discovered that the 1815 flight (6:15 p.m. in civilian terms) was canceled. I went back for the 9 p.m. (2100) flight, but there were no seats. The next plane was the 0145. Now keep in mind that these are not really flight times but show times, just to see if you can make the manifest list and get a seat on the aircraft. They take off hours later when they are ready. I returned at 1 a.m. Tuesday to the PAX terminal and waited. Luckily, at the 0145 roll call there were seats available, and since Kabul isn’t that popular a destination I was manifested for the flight. After placing our bags on a pallet to be loaded into the aircraft (we were traveling by cargo plane) we went to the waiting area ... and I continued waiting, and waiting. 0545: After four hours of waiting we finally were bussed out to the aircraft. Somewhere around 0615 we took off. So far I have been up for 24-plus hours, and have spent about five hours waiting for this specific 15 minute flight to Kabul. Since we landed at 0630 it was about 0700 Tuesday before everyone on the plane discovered they were stranded at the Kabul airport. Seems the International Conference on Afghanistan was going on in Kabul and all the transportation was diverted to other things. Unless you were a VIP/diplomat, or riding in a gun truck on patrol you were not going to travel on the roads. And the next day wasn’t looking too promising, either. Great! I’m well past the 24-hour point since getting up on Monday morning, so it was time to find some coffee. 0800: I’ve decided I really didn’t want to visit the USFOR-A headquarters after all, and checked on a flight back. Luckily there was one with a

Pedestrians stop to argue with Abu Rahman, right, Matt Sky, second from right, and Julia Lundy, third from right, as they stand in front of the site of a proposed mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
A test of tolerance Ground Zero mosque controversy renews debate that traces roots to nation’s founding BY ALLEN G. BREED Associated Press
he word tolerance comes from the Latin “tolerare” — to bear. In our dictionaries, we define it as, among other things, the “freedom from bigotry or prejudice.” Its meanings are almost as numerous as the people who express them, as recent entries in the visitor comment book at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles suggest. It means “to respect other races even if u hate them,” says one commenter, signed only as G. “Acceptance,” says another, Alejandra, adding, “To me, tolerance is tinged with the negative aspect of `putting up with’ someone or something, but not fully embracing it.” As rancor swirls around the issue of whether a mosque and Islamic cultural center should be built two blocks from the New York site where the destroyed Twin Towers stood, Americans are being forced to examine just how tolerant they are — or are not. The issue has always been with us. Against the backdrop of Puritan rigidity and the infamous Salem witch trials, the founding fathers made sure the concept of tolerance was woven into the very fabric of the young American republic. In 1790, in a letter welcoming newly elected President George Washington to Newport, R.I., on behalf of “the children of the stock of Abraham,” Moses Seixas reflected this view. “Deprived as we heretofore have been of the invaluable rights of free Citizens,” he wrote, he saw the hand of God in the establishment of a government “which to bigotry gives no
T
sanction, to persecution no assistance.” In reply, Washington assured the Jewish leader that the birth of the United States meant a new birth of freedom and respect. “It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights,” he wrote. This would be a country, he pledged, where “every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and figtree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.” If Washington’s promise remains part of the nation’s creed today, it’s still true that disputes like that involving the New York mosque test the limits of that tolerance. “We were never as tolerant as we thought we were,” says the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. “I think that the rock on which tolerance is built is often more like sandstone than it is granite. It is easy to erode at any times when problems in the culture develop.” Despite the current imbroglio over the Manhattan mosque, the Rev. Patrick McCollum says he believes Americans are becoming more tolerant. His proof: The fact that his house hasn’t been firebombed in a while. “There were people actually killed and such for having beliefs different than the dominant belief system,” says the San Francisco man, a Wiccan minister in the “sacred path” tradition. “And that doesn’t happen as much anymore.” McCollum, 60, has been involved in a seven-year federal court battle over California’s policy of employing as
state chaplains only Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims and adherents to Native American religions. He attributes both his struggle and the Manhattan mosque fight to what he calls the “dominant religious lens factor.” Even so, he interprets the latter as a sign of growth. “I think that the intolerance that we’re experiencing right now is that for the first time in a long period of time, since almost the founding of our country, we’ve actually begun to allow pluralism to surface in our country,” says McCollum. “So we’ve started to uphold the ideals that our country was founded on ... and the people who’ve been in the dominant position begin to feel like they’re under attack.” Although not declaring his outright support for the mosque planners’ real estate choice, President Barack Obama has defended their constitutional right to be there. Not everyone was satisfied with his words. “I think to reason in that manner is to shortchange American identity; it’s not to apprehend fully the robustness of American identity,” says Brad Stetson, co-author of the book “The Truth About Tolerance: Pluralism, Diversity And The Culture Wars.” America’s “penchant for toleration,” as Stetson puts it, is “beyond question.” But he says that tolerance has always been “circumscribed by some understanding of what was best for the commonweal, the health of the social body.” “It’s not necessarily intolerant to say no,” says Stetson, who also lectures at Chapman University and Cal-

Hey, I’ll be back “home” in time for lunch! 1035: There were only about a dozen of us on this flight and no cargo in the plane, so we were walked straight out to a C-130 with the props already turning. Things are looking up! 1045: I can feel the airplane shudder as the engines are brought up to full power to taxi out. 1046: The engines begin to shut down. Now, the C-130 is a four-engine cargo plane, and one of the all-time best airplanes ever built. But even they break sometimes. 1047: A crew member comes back to tell us the airplane is just fine, but it seems that there was a leftover from the previous night’s rocket attack, and a dud was discovered next to the runway. Even duds can go “boom” when you least want them to, so the runway was shut down. As for this great C-130? It was built for utility, not comfort. It is definitely not a passenger plane. Uncomfortable seats, no air-conditioning, no “in-flight” snacks, and the restroom is a small platform that is only slightly bigger than a large pizza box, located toward the rear of the cargo bay. They said they would put up the privacy curtain if anyone wanted it. Did I mention there was no air-conditioning? I won’t go into detail about the next four hours, but let’s just say we spent it sitting and lying, in and around the aircraft. Without my iPod and a magazine it would have been torture. 1445: We hear the wail of the emergency siren and the loudspeakers on the air base announce what we refer to as a controlled detonation. We gather at the tail of the plane and look toward the runway. A mushroom cloud of black smoke is followed by a low, deep WHUMP. Scratch one dud rocket. The air crew looks at a member of the ground crew, who speaks into his hand-held radio and then gives us the thumbs-up. 1450: Engines restart. 1505: We are wheels up. 1520: I land back where I started from very early that same morning. After I drag a razor across my face I make it to an early supper and then to the office for a quick check of things. I have only been up about 38 hours at this point (I’ve gone much longer without sleep, but not recently), and now my adrenaline and the coffee have worn off. It was time for this ol’ cowboy to ride off into the sunset.

KUDOS TO THE JUDGE
Too-early retirement? ohn Holshouser is serving less than a full term as Rowan County Superior Court judge. But add that to nearly 20 years as county attorney, and Holshouser has a long record of serving Rowan County in an official capacity. And likely will serve in unofficial capacities for many more. The state court system’s mandatory retirement age, 72, is pushing Holshouser off the bench upon his birthday later this month. It’s a lamentable loss, taking someone with a sharp mind out of a job that suits him and the public HOLSHOUSER well. But the lifetime appointments of U.S. Supreme Court justices give great testimony to the need for setting limits on tenure. Age is not what it used to be. John Glenn orbited the Earth on the shuttle Discovery when he was 77. Paul Newman acted in “Our Town” on Broadway at 78. George H.W. Bush jumped out of an age 80. Betty White has revived her acting career at 83. The loquacious Judge Holshouser speaks of “new paths to take, new directions in which to travel,” which he no doubt will explore. Best wishes to him on future adventures. During the celebration of Rowan County’s 250th birthday in 2003, the history-loving Holshouser decked himself out in colorful splendor a la Lord Salisbury — George McPoole — a popular character whose mission in life was to make people smile. McPoole died in 1951, but he prepared some parting words that could well be directed at the retiring judge. For his own epitaph, McPoole wrote: “Boys, have a good time, but watch your step. Be as good as you can because life on this earth is very short.”

SALISBURY POST
remember my father firing off a shotgun — a warning shot, of course — after he found a young man getting more intimate with my sister than a father would like. Wonder what Dad would have done if that young man had been her teacher? Probably forgo the warning shot. Former teacher Matthew Price’s appearance in Rowan County Superior Court last week should be a ELIZABETH warning shot COOK for all teachers who consider acting on their attraction to students. He got off scot-free when it comes to jail time. No active sentence. That was part of the plea deal. But young Mr. Price is now a registered sex offender, and that label will follow him the rest of his life. Under N.C. law, only violent, predatory or recidivist offenders are supposed to be listed for life. But the World Wide Web makes it hard to escape your past. Every time a prospective employer searches the web for Price’s name, his history will come up. If a future fiancee is too smitten to search the web for his name, her parents won’t be. According to court testimony, the 29-year-old Price had sex with three students. Their parents might have felt more
like taking a shotgun in hand than agreeing to a plea arrangement. They faced Price in court last week, hearing for the first time the details of his relationship with their daughters — acts that went on in his home and in his school office. He pleaded guilty and got probation, and their daughters were spared having to take the witness stand. The families have to settle for knowing that the state has emblazoned Price’s name with the 21st century’s scarlet letters — S.O., sex offender. • • • With classes resuming this week, high school hallways will once fill with vibrant, exciting young people on the verge of adulthood. The age difference between students and teachers is not always great. In some cases, the difference in maturity is nil. But when you sign a deal to teach, you’re also signing a contract to act as a mature adult — to resist temptation and keep a professional distance from students, no matter how personable and engaging they may be. Teachers who do otherwise make headlines that embarrass their profession, the school system, their students, the school and the parents who support it. They can also do emotional damage to the students involved — young people who easily fall in love, who crave the knowledge that someone
finds them attractive and are especially thrilled when that someone is a teacher or coach. The more popular or successful the offending teachers are, the harder they fall. • • • Just ask 53-year-old Jeffrey Lynn Safrit, a former East Rowan High School baseball coach and teacher. Safrit, an outstanding baseball coach, helped build a tradition of baseball excellence in the eastern part of the county. But he made several mistakes off the field. Details are sketchy. Only Safrit and the young girls who found themselves alone with him know the full story. But the first revelation came from a 15year-old who said Safrit kissed her on the neck. He was charged with misdemeanor assault on a female. In March 2002, a judge found him not guilty. But that case drew the attention of other girls who’d had overtures from the popular coach, and it emboldened them to step forward. A 20-year-old who was a senior when Safrit invited her into his office described the pass he made at her, and in April 2002, Safrit pleaded guilty to charges of taking indecent liberties with a child. Then another young woman came forward, only she was not so young. She told authorities about a sexual relationship she’d had with Safrit when she was a student in Iredell County in 1986. Safrit would have been about Price’s age then. That conviction came in 2004 — 18
years after the crime. If you look on the list of North Carolina sex offenders, you’ll see a photo of a graying Safrit — once the hero of so many young men — forced to report his Rowan County address to authorities and appear on this list for at least 10 years. • • • You don’t have to be a rookie teacher to make a careerending mistake. Even a seasoned teacher with a high profile in the community can be brought down by crossing the sexual line. Indiscretions don’t go away when the students involved graduate and move on; they just get buried for awhile. The former students will always remember. One young woman told me she nursed a broken heart for years before it dawned on her that what she and the teacher experienced was not love. It was abuse — abuse of his position of authority and her naivete. Male students can be scarred by inappropriate relationships with teachers, too. So here’s a word of advice from a newspaper editor to teachers young and old, male and female. Students may love and adore you. Taking advantage of that can be disastrous all around. Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to see in a headline. The warning shot has been fired. • • • Elizabeth Cook is editor of the Salisbury Post.

Sands of time trickle through your fingers silence has descended over the house. I’m most aware of it late at night, especially during those 2 a.m. intervals when something nudges me awake (these days that something is usually my bladder), and I lie in bed aware of the stillness that speaks of absence. Instead of the muffled sound of music or video-game electronics, there’s only the quiet hum of the air-conditioning. CHRIS Instead of VERNER the clunk of the refrigerator door and the clank of pans, signaling a late-night huntingand-gathering mission in the kitchen, there’s just the occasional sound of a barking dog or a car passing on the street. Instead of the thud of big feet striding across the floor, there’s the thrum of rain on the skylight. Our son has gone back to college. He’s a senior, entering his final year at Appalachian State, so this leave-taking was yet another passage of sorts, for him as well as his parents. For most of his life, since he entered kindergarten, the seasons of our lives have followed a predictable pattern: A school term, followed by a summer vacation, followed by another school term. It has been as comfortably predictable as the phases of the moon. No further thought required.

Now, having hauled his bed and television back to the apartment in Boone, having packed up his clothes and reclaimed the potted schefflera from the deck, he’s departed once more. This time, however, it feels different. The pattern’s end point is now in view. • • • “Son, this is going to pass a lot faster than you think,” I remember telling him four years ago. Of course, I wasn’t talking to him. What could youth possibly comprehend about the ephemerality of its own giddy hours? Might as well tell a butterfly to enjoy its morning drink of nectar as the summer spins dizzily through its bright days. Kids — and God bless them for it — instinctively know it’s important to live in the moment. That’s why their conception of the future concerns the next 15 minutes, not 15 years. That’s why they’re always more interested in dessert than brussel sprouts. As the Robin Williams character impresses on his young students in the movie “The Dead Poets Society,” it’s important to savor the present and seize the day. Carpe diem, and all that. No, when I told my son his college days would pass quickly, it wasn’t really for his benefit. It was a reminder to myself — the same reminder I had given myself a couple of decades ago, when I was toting him around in a blue backpack, pausing to let the lady down the street tickle his toes
as he squirmed and squealed in delight. The same reminder I gave myself when I was pushing him as a toddler on the swingset in our backyard. The same reminder I gave myself when we were kicking a soccer ball or eating ice cream cones or building sprawling Lego landscapes. The same reminder I gave myself when we would visit his grandparents at the home where I spent my own childhood, and I would pitch the ball as my son swung the bat and my father played catcher. Now, both sets of grandparents are gone. Someone else lives in their houses. We gave away the last dusty box of Legos years ago. How do you seize the day when the sands of time are trickling through your fingers? • • • It’s not as if he won’t be back, as I’m well aware — and not necessarily for short weekend visits. The “boomerang” offspring phenomena of young adults moving back in with their parents has been well-documented. According to one recent survey, approximately 80 percent of the college graduates of 2009 moved back home after getting diplomas, primarily because they didn’t have jobs waiting for them after they received their diplomas. The unemployment rate for those aged 20-24 is about 15 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics — and given the economy, not likely to improve significantly anytime soon.
Odds are, at some point in the future, the schefflera will reappear on the deck, and dirty dishes will once more materialize in the sink overnight. And honesty compels me to confess it’s not as if I want a permanent dependent in the house (although keeping one on the tax return wouldn’t be so bad). I’ve appreciated having someone else cut the grass and assist with heavy lifting. But as my wife and I have quietly acknowledged, between the drum set, the big-screen TV and the nocturnal comingsand-goings (but doesn’t everybody make 1 a.m. runs to Walmart?), boys take up a lot more square footage at 21 years than at 21 months. They’re more apt to seize the night than the day, sleeping in until noon and then emerging from their digitalized caves like grumpy bears. There’s a reason animals send their young into the wild. So even amid nostalgia for those vanished childhood years, I wouldn’t want to inhabit them indefinitely. Children and butterflies need to spread their wings. Patterns need to be broken so that new forms can emerge. Lying awake in the stillness, I’m aware of what’s absent — and curious about what is yet to unfold. Remember this time, I tell the night. It’ll pass faster than you think. • • • Chris Verner is editorial page editor of the Salisbury Post.

Cut spending? Here’s a start Rein in growth of federal payroll henever a conservative suggests reducing the federal deficit by cutting spending rather than raising taxes, there’s always someone to ask, “Well, what would you cut?” Americans may say they want less government spending, the argument goes, but they don’t want anyone to touch their services and subsidies and monthly checks. Fair enough. But BYRON there’s a persuasive YORK counterargument going around in conservative circles these days: You can start cutting government spending without cutting anyone’s services or subsidies or monthly checks. Just bring the pay of federal workers into line with pay in the private sector. A recent Heritage Foundation study found the average federal worker (excluding the uniformed military) makes $78,901 a year in wages and salary versus $50,111 for the average private-sector worker. When you count generous health and pension benefits, the average total compensation of federal workers comes to $111,015 a year versus $60,078 in the private sector. In recent years, that disparity has been fueled by an explosion of federal generosity on the high end of the pay scale. For example, USA Today recently reported that in

LETTERS Historic decision on Shober Bridge I want to congratulate the City Council for its surprise vote Tuesday on the Shober Bridge. I agree with Mayor Kluttz that waiting for a response from the railroad has been frustrating. I was pleasantly surprised by the council’s resolution. After a determined community effort to get the word out, the signs out and the letters out, Salisbury got the decision it needs ... rehabilitation of Shober Bridge! Now what? Hopefully, this decision will encourage teamwork, sensitivity to the unique task ahead, and perhaps more signs and more letters. I’m sure the city manager’s office is looking at countless hours of work to coordinate this distinctive undertaking. I want to encourage all who supported the effort to “Save Shober Bridge” to continue supporting the city as it moves forward in the rehabilitation project. I strongly recommend that the city utilize our local craftsmen in this rehabilitation effort. Salisbury has an abundance of skilled contractors and painters who can polish up an “old penny.” And in this depressed jobs market, they can certainly use the work! It was incredible to be at the council meeting when this significant decision was made. The room was mostly empty, unlike the day in June when Historic Salisbury Foundation made its presentation on the merits of rehabilitating the bridge. This time there wasn’t a large audience and fanfare as the council members firmly made their stand for preservation. I was proud of our council, as it took grit to make this decision; a decision that so many councils before were reluctant to make. Most people are calling this decision historic. But online comments show that not everyone is a preservationist in Salisbury. I’d like to remind my neighbors who oppose the decision that Salisbury’s charm is not based on concrete, steel and wires, but on wood, picket fences and cupolas. “Welcome to Historic Salisbury”! — Gwen Matthews Salisbury

December 2007, a total of 1,868 civilian workers in the Defense Department earned $150,000 or more; by June 2009, the number was 10,100. In late 2007, the paper says, just one employee at the Transportation Department earned more than $170,000. Less than two years later, 1,690 workers earned that much. Other studies have come up with slightly different numbers. But there’s no doubt that federal pay is higher than private pay across the board, not just in the upper brackets. If Congress were to freeze federal pay raises until the private sector begins to catch up, the savings to taxpayers would be considerable. Heritage scholar James Sherk estimates that ending the disparity could save the taxpayers $47 billion a year. (An American Enterprise Institute study puts the figure at $40 billion.) That won’t get close to balancing the budget, but add up 10 years of that and the government will save significant money. And it’s done without cutting government services or subsidies. “In the past, the implication was that if you are spending less, then you are doing less,” says Grover Norquist, the conservative head of Americans for Tax Reform. “But you could save money by paying public workers what you pay private workers and still do the same things.” Getting to public-private pay equity need not involve a sledgehammer approach. There are differences between the federal workforce and the private-sector workforce that pay reformers will have to take into account.
For example, government workers are more educated, older and more likely to be in managerial and administrative positions than the overall workforce. That means they make more money, just as comparable workers in the private sector make more than less skilled workers. Reforming federal pay would take those differences into account. Highly paid federal workers who have the skills and experience to command high pay in the private sector would stay at the high end of the pay scale and might even see their pay go up. But others who make far more working for the government than they would for the private sector would likely have their pay frozen until it was closer to private standards. No one’s pay would be cut. In the Senate, Oklahoma Republican Tom Coburn has introduced amendments to the war supplemental spending bill that would freeze federal pay for a year. In the House, Republicans found a pay-freeze proposal was extremely popular with participants in the YouCut program, which asks the public for input on how to cut spending. When GOP leaders asked for a recorded vote on the measure, majority Democrats promptly shot it down. Still, the GOP sees pay equity as a winning issue. “If Republicans had thought that this was political death,” Norquist says, “they would not have had that vote.” In the meantime, the problem is getting worse, not better. While the private sector has shed millions of jobs in the recession, the federal government has added nearly

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has proposed freezing federal pay for a year. 200,000 employees to its rolls. That’s more salaries, more benefits and more pensions. And the pay problem is replicated in states across the country; most of them have similar public-private disparities, and many of them are facing calamitous budget deficits. Pay equity between government and private workers would help solve those problems. The next time someone asks, “Well, what would you cut?” — conservatives have an answer. • • • Byron York is chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner.
Government’s got your number he American Civil Liberties Union has been persistently diligent — and accurate — in alerting us to the ever-increasing government invasion of our privacy. As the ACLU reported on Aug. 11: “The government’s appetite for our electronic information is out of control. The National Security Agency is intercepting 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls and other communications per day.” Both Presidents Bush and Obama firmly support the NSA. Nearly all the NAT Democrats in ConHENTOFF gress, now under their control, follow their leader in lockstep on privacy issues. Few Republicans voice Fourth Amendment concerns. And, as I’ve reported, with the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide, that agency can conduct “threat” investigations of any American without any reasonable suspicion of criminal activity or intent — and without having to go before a judge. Worth noting in the FBI Dec. 16, 2008 “Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide” is a list of “The FBI’s Core Values” that includes “Rigorous obedience to the Constitution of the United States (and) Accountability by accepting responsibility for our actions and decisions and their consequences.” (These remain in the FBI’s “Core Values,” among its documents.) Would you define as “rigorous obedience to the Constitution” the following action by the FBI: “ACLU: FBI used ‘dragnet’-style warrantless cell tracking” (Cnet.com, June 22)? Tracking two men accused of robbing banks in Connecticut, the FBI engaged in “warrantless monitoring of the locations of about 180 different cell phones.” In the subsequent case now before the U.S. District Court in Connecticut, United States of America vs. Luis Soto, the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (the leading defender of our disappearing digital privacy) make this constitutional claim that should deeply concern the many millions of Americans often glued to their cell phones: “The Fourth Amendment requires the government to comply with the warrant requirement before accessing people’s location and movement information, which reveal intimate details of their lives protected by reasonable expectations of privacy.” In this FBI operation, how many of the 180 cell phone owners — with no connection to the bank robberies — have had their constitutional rights rigorously protected? If you’re looking apprehensively at your own cell phone, the Obama administration tells you not to worry. In the June 22 Cnet.com news story on the FBI dragnet, Department of Justice lawyers are quoted as assuring us that “a customer’s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records.” Its own records of us?
T
According to the ACLU, the National Security Agency intercepts 1.7 billion e-mails, phone calls and other communications per day.
Now, the FBI may enter our personal cottage of electronic communications without hindrance from any court or current president. You want to change your phone company? It will be exceedingly difficult to find a telephone company that, in obedience to the Constitution, refuses — without a government showing of reasonable suspicion — to give its customers’ phone cell histories to the FBI or any other government agency. To the credit of some of the companies, however, there is a coalition — including, among others, AT&T, Qwest, Google, Microsoft, AOL — demanding “that warrants to track the whereabouts of Americans — or at least their cell phones — are necessary.” Even if the Republicans take control of Congress, I doubt any action will be taken on the constitutional claims of this coalition, along with those of the ACLU and the Electronic Freedom Foundation. But, if there are still any civics classes in our public schools, students will be able to discover a precipitating cause of the American Revolution and the subsequent Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. While we were still under the rule of King George III, British customs officials had the power — without going before a court — to storm into our homes and offices with “writs of assistance” — general warrants they wrote by themselves. They would then seize documents and anything else they wished. When I used to tell stories about the Bill of Rights in civics classes in various parts of the country, students became quite excited on hearing about the colonists’ angry resistance to such home invasions. Those pre-Revolutionary Americans insisted they had certain privacy rights as British citizens.
What especially moved the students I spoke to was the story of a passionate argument before the high court of Massachusetts in 1761 by James Otis opposing a new writ of assistance. In the audience that day was a young lawyer, John Adams, who took notes, and years later declared: “Otis was a flame of Fire!...Then and there was the first scene of the first Act of opposition to the arbitrary Claims of Great Britain. Then and there the Child Independence was born.” And, as Leonard W. Levy states in his invaluable “Origins of the Bill of Rights” (Yale University Press): “On the night before the Declaration of Independence, Adams asserted that he considered ‘the Argument concerning Writs of Assistance’ ” led to our independence. But now, the FBI may enter our personal cottage of electronic communications without hindrance from any court or current president. It’s a pity how many Americans, just like those in our government, know so little of how we came to be who are — or rather, used to be before the National Security Agency and the FBI became free to discard our privacy, among other Bill of Rights protections increasingly invaded by our rulers. I ask again: are the tea partiers, in all their calls for limited government, going to bring back the fire of freedom to the Fourth Amendment? Is there a Paul Revere among them? • • • Nat Hentoff frequently writes about the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. His columns are distributed by United Features Syndicate.
he nation’s 56 million school children are trudging back to school, bent double under bulging backpacks like Sherpa supplying a remote base camp or porters humping supplies down the Ho Chi Minh Trail. More is riding on those youthful shoulders than just the straps of those backpacks. The economic recovery is depending on them. Back-toschool sales DALE will inject $21.4 MCFEATTERS billion into the economy this year. (Back-to-college sales will do even better — $45.8 billion — for reasons anyone with a college kid will understand.) Consumer spending drives 70 percent of our economy. But the consumers, burned by the recession, haven’t been spending and certainly not in the lavish amounts necessary to jump-start the good times. The one area where consumers will spend is on their children, and especially in the period of giddy optimism that prevails while waiting for school to resume. The back-toschool sales are the secondbiggest consumer-spending event after the winter holidays. It’s important enough that 16 states are willing to take the rare step of forgoing the revenues to hold tax-free holidays when the sales taxes on back-to-school items are suspended. Sending the little tykes back to the classroom decently equipped, clothed and shod is not cheap. The National Retail Federation, of course, tracks these trends very closely and came up with a curious statistic: Fathers spend significantly more per kid — $671 — than mothers — $545. Speculates the federation: “Could be that dads are feeling a little more confident in the economy, aren’t planning to go all over town looking for the best deal or just have a harder time saying no to their kids than moms.” A better guess would be impatience: “Just buy the stupid thing and let’s get out of here.” Once for grade-schoolers, back-to-school supplies meant buying something called a pencil box, a gaily decorated container with pencils, ruler, protractor, a hard red rubber eraser guaranteed to tear a hole in any paper it was used on and a compass with a lethally sharp point that is probably now outlawed in most schools and airplanes. Today’s scholars return to school outfitted with pencils, scissors and crayons, but they also totter under backpacks loaded with: Rolls of paper towels, toilet paper, liquid soap, boxes of garbage bags, boxes of Ziploc bags, liquid soap, Clorox swipes, baby wipes, cotton balls, disinfectant spray, gum remover, printer paper, construction paper, paper plates and cups and plastic cutlery. These are items the schools used to supply but now can’t because of diminished funding. So the schools send the parents a list and ask them to send the supplies to school with their children. This could be a trend in the making, and one day you may get a back-to-school note something like this: Dear Parent/Parents: As you know, we are planning a much-needed addition to Hillary Rodham Clinton Elementary School, home of the Fighting Pantsuits. We are asking each family to help out. We have divided up the necessary supplies by family. When your child reports to school on Aug. 30, please have him/her bring one Kohler 4920-T Branham urinal, two 20-foot lengths of No. 8 Grade 40 reinforcing bar and two gallons of No. 2 lowsulfur diesel fuel. We’re looking forward to a great year here at Clinton. P.S. If your student would like to bring some pencils and notebooks, that would be good, too. • • • Dale McFeatters writes for Scripps Howard News Service.

Blagojevich prosecution needed higher standard ASHINGTON — Legendary Justice department prosecutor Henry Petersen had a hard and fast rule. When bringing a case against a high profile public official, the threshold for prosecution should be considerably higher than otherwise, enough evidence to convince any jury. The stakes for both sides, he said, were too high. Now that a Chicago jury has decided that only one of 24 charges against former Illinois Democratic Gov. Rod DAN K. Blagojevich is THOMASSON provable enough beyond a reasonable doubt to win required unanimous agreement, it seems obvious that ultra aggressive U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald doesn’t always subscribe to the Petersen rule. While the one conviction of lying to a federal agent — if it holds — is enough to send the hairadvantaged ex-state executive to the slammer, it certainly isn’t enough to justify the time and money on an investigation and trial that often looked like the center ring of a political circus. Apparently what could be a midsummer’s nightmare for Democrats isn’t over yet. Plans already are being made to ask another jury in a retrial to do what the first one couldn’t during 14 days of deliberation. Fitzgerald isn’t anything if not tenacious. He proved that in pursuing those who leaked the identity of sometime spy Valerie Plame despite the fact he had decided shortly after taking the case that no crime had been committed. Carry on an investigation long enough and someone will end up lying or obstructing justice even when there is nothing to obstruct or lie about. That, of course, is exactly what happened. Just ask Richard Cheney’s man, Scooter Libby. But take heart; there are those who subscribe to Petersen’s law. Just a few days before the Blagojevich jurors deadlocked, a six-year investigation of another former prominent politician ended without prosecution. Former U.S. Congressman Tom DeLay was let off the federal hook. U. S. lawyers decided there wasn’t enough evidence to sustain corruption charges as an adjunct to the conviction of super lob-

TOLERANCE
byist Jack Abramoff. The onetime House Republican leader and “Dancing With the Stars” performer still faces state charges in Texas in a case that seems to have strong political overtones. Fitzgerald’s determination to redo the snarled Blagojevich case, a whole lot of which looked to jurors like common political deal making at its worst, puts the matter squarely in the middle of the midterm election scramble much to the consternation of Democrats from Chicago to the White House whose fortunes already are lower than they would like. In some instances the attorney general of the United States might step into the picture, urging his prosecutors to take the one charge they could get and let the rest go. The weakness in the system always has been that one never knows what 12 men and women might do. But that doesn’t seem likely to happen here, particularly given Fitzgerald’s stature and substantial reputation for political tone deafness not to mention what fallout that might bring all the way to the Oval Office. This case has been far too visible to do anything but let it play out, unfortunately for Blagojevich, no matter the substantial cost to taxpayers in money and man-hours. Mutual back scratching is a fact of life in politics. That is not meant to be a defense of obviously corrupt practices, just a realistic view of what goes on in everyday political maneuvering. There is no doubt, for instance, that the White House was interested in influencing Blagojevich in his choice to fill Barack Obama’s U.S. Senate seat. In fact, the president appears to have wanted the job to go to his long time Chicago friend and White House assistant Valerie Jarrett. Blagojevich wanted something in return. The question then becomes one of how far should the bartering go and when does it cross the line into illegality; when does talk move from just that to an actual conspiracy. That is what a new jury will have to determine. It is not an easy task as the first jury found out. When Petersen took down Vice President Spiro Agnew, there was no question about a lack of evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. • • • Dan K.

Book Bites Club reads Austen’s ‘Persuasion’ Join Rowan Public Library’s Book Bites Book Club for a discussion of Jane Austen’s “Persuasion” on Tuesday, Aug. 31, at 6:30 p.m. at the South Regional Library in China Grove. The Book Bites book club reads and shares a new book each month, and includes light refreshments. In her final novel, as in her earlier ones, Austen uses a love story to explore and gently satirize social pretensions and emotional confusion. “Persuasion” follows the romance of Anne Elliot and naval officer Frederick Wentworth. They were happily engaged until Anne’s friend, Lady Russell, persuaded her that Frederick was “unworthy.” Now, eight years later, Frederick returns, a wealthy captain in the navy, while Anne’s family teeters on the edge of bankruptcy. They still love each other, but their past mistakes threaten to keep them apart. Austen may seem to paint on a small canvas, but her characters contain the full range of human passion and moral complexity, and the author’s generous spirit renders them all with understanding, compassion, and humor. Upcoming titles include “Mattaponi Queen” by Belle Boggs, “Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins, “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, and the “Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. For more information please call Sara at 704216-8229, or join the club on Aug. 31.
Fairytale published Salisbury native Hélène Hinson Staley has published a new book, “The Dish Keepers of Honest House,” an original fairytale. The book’s back cover describes the story: “Rehabilitating four greed stricken dentists is a task Irish butler Edwin Hedgecroft takes very seriously. As Ella, a former newspaper reporter on vacation in Ireland, examines past grievances with dental professionals Harry Badger, Nelgon Festoon, Guilliam Moreduck and Mott Finks, Hedgecroft’s partner in concert Mother Nature delivers invitations to a special meeting. “The train stops within walking distance of Honest House, where a directional sign swings aimlessly until wind ceases and the dentists see the gate. Before them is another sign: “ ‘Dish Keepers, This Way.’ “Mother Nature and Hedgecroft guide the dentists to consequences of greed. Imbalances in humanity stir up raging storms. These dentists learn why they are suddenly in the grips of phantom teeth, giant saliva containers, an indiscriminate tooth-plucking assistant, grotesquely repulsive nurses and dishes from every far corner of the world The book is vailable through online bookstores Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, Borders.com, Xlibris.com and by calling 1-888-7954274, extension 7879. Staley, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James Noah Hinson, is a 1987 graduate of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is married to Dr. Howard A. Staley and has three sons.

Musician uses lullaby for first children’s book Salisbury musician Marc Hoffman has published a children’s book, “Sleep, Little Child,” which includes a CD of the lullaby, “Sleep, Little Child.” The book is illustrated by Tony Waters of Charleston, S.C. and has just the words of the song as the story. It also includes the music for the lullaby. The CD’s selections include H o f f m a n singing his lullaby, an instrumental, Hoffman narrating the story, with a signal for turning the pages. Then his HOFFMAN mother, Barbara Hoffman, narrates the story. The final tracks are Hoffman and his mother simply reading through the lyrics. “I just thought, what’s better than hearing a real grandmother reading a bedtime story?” Hoffman says. He admits that turning his song into a children’s book was his wife Anne’s idea. “After hearing the song so many times, one day it dawned on her that it would be perfect as a children’s book.” With the publication of his children’s book, Hoffman has returned to a lullaby he wrote and recorded nearly a decade ago, for reasons that are mysterious even to him. The lullaby was one of the 12 songs released as the CD “Dream of God.” “I had always wanted to write a lullaby,” Hoffman said, “and that CD was the perfect opportunity to give it a try.” Hoffman has written hundreds of songs, concert works and jazz charts, and written and arranged music for dozens of film and theater productions, so it’s not surprising that the song “Sleep, Little Child” soon found itself stored away in his musical attic. But it surfaced again, and became a family favorite, soon after his wife Anne gave birth to their daughter, August Ruth Hoffman. “I just naturally would sing to my baby, especially in the evening. And then it hit me that I had a lullaby of my own. I loved singing it, and August (now 4) has
Starting in September, the Weathers Creek Writers’ Series will offer sessions featuring one of the best newspaper columnists in the U.S., an award-winning writer of fiction for children and young people and the director of the Wingate University Writing Center. Weathers Creek workshops offer a one-day getaway to a farm located between Cleveland and Mooresville. Class size is kept small for individual interaction. Organizers of the workshop know time is valuable and time to expand career horizons may be especially scarce. They offer a chance to recharge your creative batteries in a home-like setting. Tommy Tomlinson, who has written a local column for the Charlotte Observer since 1997, will get the workshops off to a start on Saturday, Sept. 11, with “Opening The Vein.” He’ll help writers learn how to get what’s in the world (and in their heads) onto the page. The session will cover the elements of storytelling, the hard work of revision and the keys to a creative life. Tomlinson grew up in Brunswick, Ga., where his dad built houses and his mom was a waitress. He studied journalism

several children’s books; among them is the “Flick” series with author Lynn Floyd Wright. Hoffman published under the auspices of his existing musicpublishing label, Virillion Music. The process of putting together the book and CD coincided with his latest musical CD release, the jazz collection “Curioso.” The CD features 11 original jazz compositions and performances by Grammy nominee John Sharp on guitar and Tim Gordon on sax. After receiving a degree in composition from North Carolina School of the Arts, Hoffman did additional study in film scoring at the University of Southern California. He also studied at The Dartington International Summer School of Music in Devon, England. With school behind him, he established himself as a composer of film, theater, pop and gospel music. Then, in the early 1990s, he began to focus on his passion for jazz. Hoffman performs more than 100 dates a year, often with his trio, sometimes with larger ensembles. He is the artistic director of the Salisbury School of Mu-

sic. “I really enjoy teaching. I have one student now who’s written a huge number of songs and she’s only 16. They’re not all keepers of course; but, still ... she’s turning out about a song a day at this point.” Hoffman says that learning how to get a book to market was no easy task, but he’s ready to take it on again. He already has two of his songs in mind that would make good stories. “Now that I’ve been through this entire process of learning how to publish a book, it wouldn’t make sense not to take advantage of it.” The audience for the book is children 2-7. It sells for $17.95. Freelance writer Bill Morris contributed much of this story.
at the University of Georgia. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in commentary in 2005, he was named best local columnist in America by The Week magazine in 2004. He was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University in 2008-09. His work appears in several anthologies, including “Making Notes: Music of the Carolinas.” He has also written for Garden & Gun magazine, Our State magazine and ESPN.com. He has taught at the Poynter Institute, UGA, the Nieman Narrative Conference and National Writers Workshops across the country. On Oct. 9, Lisa Williams Kline will share techniques on writing from a young person’s point of view in “Writing the Child’s Voice.” She will include writing exercises to help recover memories from childhood so writers can find an authentic child’s voice for a children’s story or novel. Participants may bring works-in-progress for instructor feedback. Kline is the author of three middle grade novels: “Eleanor Hill,” which won the North Carolina Juvenile Literature Award; “The Princesses of Atlantis” and “Write Before Your Eyes,” from Delacorte Press. She has also pub-
lished a non-fiction book, “Floods.” Her stories for children have appeared in Cricket, Cicada, Spider and Odyssey. Her stories for adults have appeared in about a dozen literary journals and anthologies, and her story collection, “Take Me” was released by Main Street Rag this month. She earned her MFA from Queens University. Kevin Winchester will lead a workshop on Nov. 13 to help writers “Know Your Character from the Inside Out.” Participants will work on developing a character — from appearance to personality — and create scenes for the character that can be the basis for a larger work. These development tools should also be of help to writers who already have characters but aren’t quite sure what to do with them. N.C. native Winchester now lives in the Waxhaw area. He holds a BA in English from Wingate University and a MFA in creative writing from Queens University. He is director of the Writing Center at Wingate, where he also teaches creative writing. His short story collection, “Everybody’s Gotta Eat,” was published in 2009. His short fiction has appeared in Gulf Coast
Literary and Arts Journal, Story South, Southern Hum and the anthology “Everything But the Baby.” His creative non-fiction has appeared in the Novello Press anthology, “Making Notes: Music in the Carolinas” and Tin House Literary Magazine. In 2005, he received a Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference Work Study Scholarship. His short story, “Everybody’s Gotta Eat,” was selected as a 2006 Notable Story by the Million Writers Award. The Writers’ Series grew out of talks between area writer/editor Ann Wicker, photographer and writer Susan Campbell, and marketing and sales specialist Cindy Campbell. Sessions are $75 each. All sessions include a homemade lunch. Deadline for registration for the September session is Sept. 3. Registration for Oct. 9 ends Oct. 1 and register for Nov. 13 by Nov. 5. Classes are limited to 14 people. Discounts are offered if you sign up for more than one session. Gift certificates are available. All sessions will start promptly at 10 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. For a registration form, directions and other information, go to www.weatherscreek.net/.

always loved the song, too,” Hoffman says. “But maybe she’s biased,” he adds with a laugh. Hoffman says that the “He” in his book is definitely a non-denominational God, and that the presence of a heavenly guardian came about naturally in the lyric writing process. “It’s not meant to be an especially ‘religious’ book,” he says. “But I do believe we have an innate need to feel watched over, especially when we sleep. Children are clever enough to know that Mommy and Daddy certainly aren’t watching them all night.” He also believes that a lullaby is not necessarily simplistic. One of the songs he uses with his voice students is Brahms Lullaby (Wiegenlied: Guten Abend, gute Nacht, Op. 49, No. 4.) “It seems so simple when you are listening, but to sing it properly takes technique.” Charleston artist Waters painted the watercolor illustrations in a lush yet relaxed style that reflects the book’s theme of reassurance and safekeeping. Waters is a published author (“The Moon Smiles Down”), and illustrator of

Firefighters, with their shiny red trucks and heavy equipment, are a subject of fascination for most children. You can check out several books about firefighters at Rowan Public Library. Full-time illustrator and volunteer firefighter Chris Demarest captures the exciting and dangerous aspects of a firefighter’s job in his book “Firefighters A to Z.” Although Demarest’s text, one line per page, is deceptively simple, he is providing sophisticated details about firefighting. “I is for Inside. Start the primary search. J is for Jump if you feel the floor lurch.” The accompanying pictures are where artist Demarest naturally shines. Detailed and colorful, they will hold young readers’ attention while giving them a feel for a day in the life of a firefighter.
Sue Whiting’s “The Firefighters” offers a more playful and imaginative look at the job. Using plastic helmets and cardboard boxes, the children in Mrs. Iverson’s class have a great time acting like firefighters. Donna Rawlins’ colorful illustrations capture the children’s excitement and fun as they pretend to put out a fire. Then, real firefighters show up to talk to the class about their jobs. The children have an opportunity to explore a real firetruck and even turn on the siren. Children can enjoy these and other firefighting books when they check them out at Rowan

Malia, a snow tiger, pounces on animal handler Jennifer Mayes at Abundant Living Day Services Wednesday. Tiger World of Rockwell was presenting a program for Abundant Living clients.
The wonderful thing about tigers ... Tiger World visits Abundant Living Adult Day Services B Y K ATIE S CARVEY kscarvey@salisburypost.com
ile it under Things You Don’t See Every Day: a snow tiger walking around the activities room at Abundant Living Adult Day Services. Her name is Malia, and she can normally be found at Tiger World in Rockwell. Since Tiger World is closed on Wednesdays, Malia was able to venture beyond Rockwell to bring her feline charms to the clients and staff at Abundant Living. The Tiger World staff also brought Bud, the ball python, as well as a red-footed tortoise. Malia was certainly the star attraction, but clients were also fascinated by Bud. Some, however, preferred to keep their distance from the cold-blooded visitor. “I don’t like snakes,” was a refrain heard around the room. Nurse Ann Rouzer was happy to hold Bud, however, and fascinated by how she could feel his muscles constricting. “We’re bonding,” she said. Rouzer said that everyone at Abundant Living has been looking forward to the Tiger World visit since it was announced. Animal handler Danny Miner told those assembled that Bud was somewhat quirky in his eating habits. “He’ll only eat white female rats,” he said. The somewhat anxious look left some of the clients’ faces as Bud made his exit and the tiger Malia, handled by Jennifer Mayes, padded into the room the room. Malia is blue-eyed and mostly white, with some dark stripes on her tail. Murmurs of “She’s precious” came from several clients. Malia was named after first daughter Malia Obama, who has expressed concern to her father about protecting tigers, said Williamson. A white Bengal tiger, Malia is four months old and about 38 pounds, so she’s still small enough to handle in public places on a leash. Her huge paws hint at how large she’ll get. In eight months, she’ll be 100 pounds. By the time she’s 2, she will weigh about 400 pounds. Enjoying the coolness of the activity room, Malia got playful, leaping on Mayes and rolling around with a ball, looking like a supersized domestic cat. It seemed conceivable that — as the “Tigger” song goes — her top was made out of rubber and her bottom made out of springs. “She’s just like a puppy,” said Butch Farmer. Mayes gave Malia a bottle while everyone watched. The

Jessica Williamson, general manager of Tiger World, offers Bud the python to be stroked by a client at Abundant Living Day Services.

Living patio before her visit with clients. contents included some ground turkey, since Malia has started eating meat. She’s still a baby, though, and sleeps like one — 16-18 hours a day. When someone asked whether Malia purred or roared, Tiger World general manager Jessica Williamson replied that a tiger’s main vocalization is a “chuff.” “That’s their greeting noise, what they greet each other with, or greet us with.” Williamson talked about how satisfying but demanding it is to work at Tiger World. “Most of us live on site,” she said. Staff members there typically work six days a week, for “eight, 10, 12 hours a day,” she said. Staff members share the
responsibility for the cubs after regular work hours are over. “We will take her home tonight,” Williamson said of Malia. The tiger cubs need to get used to safely interacting with humans since that is what they’ll be doing for the rest of their lives in captivity. “It’s a demanding job, kind of like motherhood,” Williamson said. The focus of Tiger World, which is a non-profit organization, is rescue, rehabilitation and preservation of exotic animals. Tiger World has 42 cats now — including leopards, ligers and lions — as well as bears, birds, lemurs. Activities coordinator Linda Taylor, who arranged the visit
from Tiger World, was thrilled. “They’ll be talking about this from now on,” she said of the Abundant Living clients. Williamson said the Tiger World staff was happy to share the facility’s animals. “It’s always great to be able to share your passion with others,” she said.

hen Harry Welch got in touch with me this week, it seemed fitting. I’d just seen a tiger that day, which had made me think of him and his wife, Terri. That’s because Harry and Terri used to have a couple of tigers as pets. In fact, if you visit their home, you can still see one of them, which has been stuffed and occupies a place of honor. There are no more live KATIE tigers at the SCARVEY Welch residence, but you will find plenty of dogs they’ve rescued. They are currently caring for 40 dogs at their home. It’s part of their non-profit venture, a rescue organization called All Dogs Great And Small. The Welches are not folks who will ever be accused of doing things halfway or halfheartedly. The facility currently has three kennels and seven separate lots, from 250 square feet for tiny dogs like Chihuahuas up to five acres for larger dogs. I wrote a story about it once calling it dog heaven. If you are a canine in trouble and wind up with the Welches, you are no doubt a lucky dog. And now, Harry and Terri are preparing to take on another few dozen dogs, mostly puppies, in the hopes of finding permanent homes for them. An animal shelter in Georgia is closing its doors and needs to place 25 young dogs and puppies. They have begged the Welches to take them so they do not have to be euthanized. “We are currently maxed out,” Harry says of their own facilities, “but we are going to try and puppy-proof the barn.” That’s only a temporary solution, however. He’s hoping that some local folks will step up and adopt these dogs, which include the following: • A 9-week Weimaraner mix • A young shepherd mix female with five 9-week-old puppies • A Manchester mix, about a year old • A 20-week-old shepherd mix • A 12-week-old shepherd mix • A 12-week-old border collie • A 9-week-old yellow lab • A 12-week-old chocolate lab • Two 8-week-old “sooners” (“sooner be one breed as another,” according to Harry) • A 3-month-old border collie • A 9-week-old boxer • Five 9-week-old Aussies • Three 5-week-old puppies found in a dumpster behind a McDonald’s — named McFlurry, McMuffin and Happy Meal. All of these dogs, Harry says, love people and get along with other dogs but have not had exposure to cats. “I just hate to see them put down,” Harry says. The Welches will probably be in possession of these dogs by next week, so if you are interested in giving one or more of them a forever home, call All Dogs Great and Small Rescue at 704-6300942 to set up an appointment.

There’s no place like home y husband and I traveled to visit relatives in Wisconsin recently. Going home always reminds me of The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy says three times, “There’s no place JENNIFER like DOERING home.” However, when I go home, I can’t touch ruby slippers together; I go in my tennis shoes. As an amputee, I have learned that I no longer can wear the kind of shoes that I really like; all of my shoes have to be the same height or my prosthetic does not fit correctly. Going home, I always anticipate having a great time visiting with family and I am never disappointed. Of course arriving in Minneapolis and having to walk all the way through the airport really puts my prosthetic leg to the test. First, we walked about a half mile to get to the elevators while I pushed my wheelchair in front of me. We went down the elevator to collect our baggage, and then down the elevator again to walk to the tram that ferried us to the car rental place, and back up the elevators to pick up our rental car. It took us almost an hour to be on our way to visit Don’s dad. About an hour and a half later, we arrived in Menomonie, Wis. and visited with Paul over dinner and then toured the city. Menomonie is a very pretty city which boasts numerous trees, parks and super clean streets. The town is not too small or too big; as Goldilocks would say, “It is just right!” After visiting with Paul, we drove the 45
M
minutes to Eau Claire to check into our hotel. That evening, after being on my leg for almost 12 hours, I definitely was ready to take off my prosthetic and rest. Friday evening, the entire family; Max, Donna, her mom, Gunda, their grown children, Cole, Skye and Piper, plus Don and I, all sat down to dinner to celebrate Paul’s 91st birthday. He was beaming, knowing we were all there to celebrate his life. I later enjoyed talking with Gunda and listening to her tell me about how she came from Norway. Both Donna’s mother and my mom share the same maiden name – Carlson. I have always wondered if we are somehow related other than just being sisters-in-law. Saturday was a very special day for us: Donna, Max, Don and I traveled the rolling hills of Wisconsin and saw beautiful, green fields of corn, soybeans and an array of other crops. I felt so free from the constraints of having to drive in a busy, crowded city. We first stopped for ice cream at a place that was filled with dozens of motorcyclists enjoying the beautiful day. From there, we drove to a park, climbed a steep bluff that overlooked the Mississippi River and watched tubers go by. After that, we drove to Wabasha, Minn. and visited an eagle sanctuary. We met Harriet, the 29- year-old bald eagle who had a broken wing, and watched her eat her dinner. We learned that eagles weigh only about 10 pounds and can have a wingspan of over seven feet! From there, we drove through the farmlands and found “The Stone Barn.” It is a farm where people restored the house and the barn, and there also was a building that housed an antique shop. We walked into the barn and, lo and behold, there was a pizza restaurant! So we ordered a pizza and walked outside to a table and ate it in a cornfield! While in Wisconsin, Don,
Max and Donna drank several beers with crazy names like “Spotted Cow,” “Fat Tire” and “Lienenkugels.” Since I don’t drink beer, I stayed with my diet soda and water. On Sunday, we drove about 90 minutes to Tomah, Wis. to meet my sister, Karen, and her husband Mel, who drove two and a half hours to meet us at a place called Burnstad’s Market & Deli. We all enjoyed a great lunch; mine included an absolutely decadent dessert called Blueberry Cheesecake Crumble Pie which automatically applied to my hips, but heck, when I’m with family, the diet goes to dust! On Monday, we had to fly back to what we now call home here in Salisbury. Since I married over 39 years ago, I have lived in six states; Wisconsin, California, Tennessee, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and finally, North Carolina. The majority of these moves were due to Don’s job with the VA hospital system. Since both of my parents died in Wisconsin, I am literally an orphan, and I don’t know now where to truly call home. I’ve heard sayings like “Home is where your heart is,” but I kind of feel like those Russian dolls that have one doll inside of another doll and so on. Every place I have lived I have left a piece of my life, my history, and part of me. I have made friends in every state and they say, “We will stay in touch,” but we don’t. I do have to credit my friend, Gail, who lives in Irwin, Pennsylvania. To this day, seven years later, she still sends me letters and cards and we talk at least twice a month on the telephone. In my family, I have a dentist living in Tampa, a mechanic living in Atlanta, a banker and an accountant living in Wisconsin — and none of it does me any good! My sister, Karen, envies me because I have lived and explored so many states, and I envy her for being able to
stay close with friends and relatives. I’ve always heard, “The grass is always greener on the other side,” but in my case, I feel so fragmented and many times, so alone, especially around holidays. Since Don is a nurse and we have no family nearby, he usually volunteers to work on holidays so his coworkers can be with their families. That leaves me alone for virtually every holiday. Since Don and I joined the Newcomers Club, we have met a great group of people, and have begun to feel more part of this community. We have a monthly bookclub, a reservationsonly dinner party monthly, bridge, and a bring-part-ofthe-dinner every other month at a member’s home; we always have a great time. An amputee support group that I have initiated is also starting to prove successful. However, despite all of this, I am experiencing a conundrum; I have two adorable young grandsons living in Georgia and I know I’m missing the best part of their lives. Part of my heart wants us to move closer to them and the other part wants to live in Wisconsin again, closer to the majority of my family. I just wish that all of my family and friends still lived in one place. Since fighting for two years to save my life during 2007 and 2008, plus losing my leg, I want to live what is left of my life to the fullest. I know that my life was spared for some purpose, and to this day, I wonder: Am I fulfilling this purpose or do I still have a long way to go? Do we put our home up for sale and move; but to where? Should we stay and put down deeper roots in this city with our new friends or will my heart always be torn between so many places? I guess, even with all of my questions, only time will tell… Jennifer Doering lives in Salisbury.

Husband picks fights; wife wonders why Dear Amy: I am generally happy and outgoing, get along with others and have many friends. Lately, my husband will counter just about everything I say. If I say the grass is green, he’ll say no, it’s yellow. If I try to justify my original statement, he tells me not to argue with him. I have pointed out ASK that he is the AMY one who brought up an argument. What is going on with him? Today he did that at least six times in a short period of time. It is getting to the point that I just don’t talk to him to try to avoid confrontation. Help! — Worried
you to walk off in a huff, then he doesn’t have to deal with the real issue. You’ll have to ask him to be honest with you. He might be under a new kind of pressure at work, or he might have financial or family worries he doesn’t dare broach. He might be attracted to someone else and not know how to deal with it. When you two are in a quiet, peaceful moment, tell him you’re worried about him; tell him you don’t like being a scapegoat; tell him you want your old husband back. Say, “What’s going on with you, honey?” He’ll probably say “nothing,” but you shouldn’t believe it. A counselor could help your husband to find a better, more appropriate and useful way to express himself. If you can’t get to the bottom of what’s going on with him, you should suggest counseling.
Dear Worried: Your husband is picking fights with you because he wants you to withdraw from him. In my experience, someone will do this when he’s trying to make you into the bad guy to cover his tracks for something he has done and can’t talk about. Starting these brush fires creates a smoke screen for him to hide behind. If he can get

FOOTWORK Stomping out Alzheimer’s one step at a time
BY BRENDA ZIMMERMAN For The Salisbury Post
A
ccording to the National Alzheimer’s Association official web site, about 5.1 million Americans have
Alzheimer’s disease, including at least 200,000 individuals under age 65 with “youth onset” dementia. This number has more than doubled since 1980. Unless a cure or the means to prevent the disease is found, by the year 2050 between 11 million and 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s disease. It is easy to see the tremendous negative effect on the quality of life for many individuals and their families. The Salisbury Rowan Quilters’ Guild is partnering with Lutheran Home at Trinity Oaks, Waterworks Visual Arts Center, the middle schools of the Salisbury-Rowan School System, The Cabarrus County Quilters’ Guild, and several well known individual artists in the area to implement an original fundraiser to support the annual Rowan County Memory Walk. The Fancy Footwork Project is an upbeat and creative project that will give local artists and craftsmen an opportunity to embellish or create a shoe as a work of art. From fine works of art to actual footwear whimsically remade, the shoes will represent all levels of skill in a wide variety of categories. There will be an exhibition and a silent auction for the artwork, with all funds going to the local Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk. Shelley Lenhausen of Rowan-Salisbury Quilters’ Guild has already promoted the project with the guild. Several individual shoe-themed blocks were created for the quilt show at Lutheran Home this past February. Shelley entered a crazy quilt block featuring a up granny boot laced up with pearl buttons. The piece was titled “Miss Charlotte,” reminiscent of a shoe her grandmother Charlotte Johnson may have worn. Linda Bryant’s detailed tiger striped shoe was created with very tight machine embroidery. The block is titled “A Walk on the Wild Side.” Another fancy silk dress shoe is featured as the center for Linda’s quilted “Shall We Dance.” When the idea first started churning, Pam Murphy and I took off looking at second hand shops, yard sales and flea markets for anything shoe related. An early venture produced a gallon-sized bag of mini shoes that became a “Shoe Tree.” Many an eyebrow has been raised by other customers in stores as one of us would shout to the other, “This is a great start for the ‘Stinky Feet’ ” or “ ‘Look at this for ‘Twinkle Toes!’ ” Pam, local craftsman and quilter, has started with actual shoes. Using a small loafer as the base, she and her husband Mike added two trees with a hammock, complete with a lazy fellow napping, stretched between them. Add some shiny new pennies as accents. Can you name this shoe? A Penny Loafer! Another interesting interpretation is a large boot with a ladder attached to the side. At the top of the ladder sits a rather comical king on a throne. This is the HiKing Boot! Pam and Mike have worked together to complete several entries: a Baby Shoe, a Hunting Boot, a Steel Toad Work Shoe … and my personal favorite, a Croc! Other items completed for the show include a tall white go-go boot covered in tiny black spider webs with silver spider accents. This “Webbed Foot” was one of the first completed. An unassuming man’s dress shoe comes apart to reveal a bright lining with a secret compartment: A Shoe Box. Handmade clay faces of elderly women with glasses, lace bonnets and wool hair peer from a lady’s high top dress boot to take
the place as an elaborate Granny Boot. The show is set to open at Waterworks Visual Arts Center on Oct. 29 with a reception from 6-8 p.m. The public is invited. Silent bids will be taken on items until 7:45 p.m., when results will be announced. Area artists John Morehead, Cheryl Goins, and Ben Martin are creating artistic interpretations of shoes. Elizabeth Miller, artist and art teacher from Raleigh and daughter of Lutheran Home resident Robert Miller, has expressed an interest in creating a shoe. The funnier the play on words, the better. Use your imagination for the following: Soul Train, a Shoe Tree, Horse Shoe, Nursing Shoe, Walk a Mile in My Shoes, Wandering Feet. The brochure offers nearly 100 ideas as springboards. Put your creative hat on and see if you can find shoes to match! For information and brochures, con-
