A special page in his life

Mosque rallies grow heated

Carson High senior gets an intense course in Congress

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

eland Chapman barely made the deadline, but one essay, a couple of recommendation letters, several phone calls and e-mails later, he’s on the congressional floor in Washington working as a page.

It wasn’t quite that simple, but it was part of what got the 17year-old Carson senior into the U.S. House of Representatives page program.

He tried for three years prior to joining this summer’s session.

The application was due on a Monday. It was on a Friday in April he decided to call Congressman Mel Watt’s office.

Since he only had a few days to send in his application, Leland conducted a phone interview. A week later, he was was told he’d made it to the top three finalists.

“I was so nervous. I thought it wasn’t going to happen,” he said.

It did happen. He was one of two people chosen from North Carolina.

“God opened doors for me,” he said.

“He was the first phone interview they’d ever hired,” said his mother Donna Rucker.

Donna knew her son was serious about becoming a page when she got a $300 phone bill one summer after he called out-ofstate congressional offices to see if he could become a page in other states.

He soon found out he could only apply to become a page in his own congressional district.

Pages deliver correspondence and small packages within the congressional complex, answer phones in the member cloakrooms and prepare the House floor for sessions. While serving in the House, pages live in Washington at the page residence hall, a few blocks from the Capitol.

They also attend classes at the House Page School. Pages must be sponsored by a member of Congress. Leland was sponsored

by Watt.

Leland has always had a love of politics. His interest began following a sixth-grade project he wrote on Condoleezza Rice, before she became secretary of state.

He started as a page in early July and completed his term Aug. 1.

During the first week he was partnered with another page. After that, he was on his own.

Page school was pretty challenging, he said.

He awoke early every day, and by 6:45 a.m. he was sitting in a classroom.

NEW YORK (AP) — The proposed mosque near ground zero drew hundreds of fever-pitch demonstrators Sunday, with opponents carrying signs associating Islam with blood, supporters shouting, “Say no to racist fear!” and American flags waving on both sides.

The two leaders of the construction project, meanwhile, defended their plans, though one suggested that organizers might eventually be willing to discuss an alternative site. The other, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said during a Middle East trip that the attention generated by the project is actually positive and that he hopes it will bring greater understanding.

Around the corner from the cordoned-off old building that is to become a 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, police separated the two groups of demonstrators. There were no reports of physical clashes but there were some nose-to-nose confrontations, including a man and a woman screaming at each other across a barricade under a steady rain.

Opponents of the $100 million project two blocks from the World Trade Center site appeared to outnumber supporters. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the USA” blared over loudspeakers as mosque opponents chanted, “No mosque, no way!”

Signs hoisted by dozens of protesters standing behind police barricades read “SHARIA” — using dripping, blood-red letters to describe Islam’s Shariah law, which governs the behavior of Muslims.

Steve Ayling, a 40-year-old Brooklyn plumber who carried his sign to a dry spot by an office building, said the people behind the mosque project are “the same people who took down the twin towers.”

Opponents demand that the mosque be moved farther from the site where more than 2,700 people were killed on Sept. 11, 2001. “They should put it in the Middle East,” Ayling said.

On a nearby sidewalk, police chased away a group that unfurled a banner with images of beating, stoning and other torture they said was committed by those who followed Islamic law.

A mannequin wearing a keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, was mounted on one of two mock missiles that were part of an anti-mosque installation. One missile was inscribed with the words: “Again? Freedom Targeted by Religion”; the other with “Obama: With a middle name Hussein. We understand.

Bloomberg: What is your excuse?”

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has fiercely defended plans for the proposed mosque, saying that the right “to practice your religion was one of the real reasons America was founded.”

The mosque project is being led by Rauf and his wife, Daisy Khan, who in-

Leland Chapman has always had a love of politics and dreamed of being a congressional page — a dream he recently fulfilled when he was one of three N.C. residents chosen to serve in Washington.

The ID badge Chapman wore in Washington.

“We had to read 20 pages a night of history, journalism and internal relations,” he said.

Leland said the program was as intensive as he envisioned any college experience.

“I didn’t realize how much it was like a college course,” he

said.

The month-long experience helped him see what it would be like attending college.

“I now know he can handle college,” Donna said.

“They treated us like we were in college,” Leland said.

Leland got to meet some of his idols: Rep. Maxine Waters of California and Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, as well as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who posed for a picture with him.

“She’s one of the most powerful women, and she stands on the issues,” he said of Waters.

He admits he was starstruck meeting some of the notable names in the House.

“I almost fainted meeting Maxine Waters,” he said.

Leland got to chat with his idol.

“They are ordinary people,” he said.

He was the last to pose for a picture with Pelosi, who he thought would be in attendance all of the time.

“It did surprise me that Nancy Pelosi is not there every day,” he said.

Leland also met and talked with Watt, the 12th District representative who sponsored him.

“He’s so laid back and downto-earth,” Leland said of Watt.

The two talked about school and Leland’s future plans.

“He fell in love with Washington. He was really excited,” Donna said.

Watt asked Leland if there was anything he could do for him. The teen was at a loss for words. His head told him to ask to meet the president. His mouth said ask for a tour of the Capitol.

U.S. troops unlikely to resume combat duties in Iraq WASHINGTON (AP) — It would take “a complete failure” of the Iraqi security forces for the U.S. to resume combat operations there, the top American commander in Iraq said as the final U.S. fighting forces prepared to leave the country.

With a major military milestone in sight, Gen. Ray Odierno said in interviews broadcast Sunday that any resumption of combat duties

by American forces is unlikely.

“We don’t see that happening,” Odierno said. The Iraqi security forces have been doing “so well for so long now that we really believe we’re beyond that point.”

President Barack Obama plans a major speech on Iraq after his return to Washington, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday because details were being finalized. The speech will come shortly after Obama reToday’s forecast

About 50,000 U.S. troops will remain in the country until the end of 2011 to serve as a training and assistance force, a dramatic drawdown from the peak of more than 170,000 during the surge of American forces in 2007.

Running usually burns calories faster Q: Is it true that running makes you lose more weight?

A: The reason running has had more success with weight loss is that typically you burn more calories while running. I say typically, because some people can burn more calories walking fast than running slow! I found a couple of calorie “burner� charts online and took an average of the calories burned between the different charts. The following are averages for a 138pound person who ESTER exercises for 30 MARSH minutes.

To get exact calories burned is a huge process, and a sports medicine department, many colleges and our new Research Center in Kannapolis have the equipment and skilled personnel to get your exact, calories burned, “number.�

The cost for that is often very high. The following numbers are averages, and they show that the higher the intensity of the workout, the higher the calories burned.

Again, this is for a 138-pound person: • Walking a 15-minute mile pace for 30 minutes, around 150 kcal. • Walking a 13-minute mile pace, about 166 kcal. • Running an 11.5-minute mile pace, 298 kcal. • A 9-minute mile pace, 364

See the pattern? The higher the intensity, the higher the calories burned in the same amount of time. Now, don’t forget — the higher the intensity of your workout, the higher the risk of injury and/or overuse. Running is not for everyone. I would check with your doctor if you are thinking of starting a running program to make sure that running is for you. I highly recommend a running program led by skilled runners, trainers and physical therapists.

Those who are interested in starting a safe running program can join the Salisbury Rowan Runners. The Beginning Runners class is in its seventh year. They have a fall and spring version, but David Freeze (Salisbury Rowan Runners president) says the fall version is the most popular. Last year, they had 80 participants at two sites. The main class is a partnership between the Salisbury Rowan Runners and Salisbury Parks and Recreation. Classes are held at the Civic Center on Thursdays, starting on Sept. 9, at 6:30 p.m. Each night begins with a 30minute classroom session on such topics as nutrition, stretching and strengthening, shoes and other needs, safety, running form, injury prevention and much more. After the classroom session, participants

will run/walk for 30-45 minutes. At the end of the eight-week session, all participants will complete a 5K run/walk. All participants receive a one-year membership in the Salisbury Rowan Runners, a club shirt, and free entry into the Santa Run 5K race on Dec. 4.

The fee for the program is (only!) $45 and is payable on the first night. Please call 704-2162709 or 704-239-5508 with any questions.

For those who can’t do Thursdays, a limited number of people can participate in a second class held on Mondays starting at 6 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.

This class is sponsored by the Sacred Heart Knights of Columbus and the Salisbury Rowan Runners. Subject matter will be condensed and spread over five weeks, with free entry to the Knights of Columbus 5K on Oct. 16. This class begins on Sept. 13.

You can get more information on that session at info@salisburykofc.org or call the above listed phone numbers.

For weight loss, a healthier lifestyle, a new hobby or a place to meet new friends, ask your doctor if a running program is for you and join Salisbury Rowan Runners, Salisbury Parks and Recreation, the Sacred Heart Knights on Sept. 7 or Sept. 13!

I have the running “bug.â€? How about you? • • • Ester Marsh is associate executive and health and fitness director of the J.F. Hurley Family YMCA.

Olympic medalist challenges students to reach for their goals

BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

MISENHEIMER — Not everyone’s success in life comes in the form of a gold medal.

As a matter of fact, Olympic bobsledder Curt Tomasevicz said the most rewarding lessons can be taught by those who don’t receive nearly as much attention.

Tomasevicz was part of the four-man team that won gold HugH FisHer/SALISBURY POST in this year’s Vancouver Olympics.

He went back to one of his old coaches to see if he could find some help.

When he became a workout partner with a bobsledder, he ended up being interested in that sport ... despite coming from Nebraska.

“This was something exciting, something fast,” Tomasevicz said.

“I’d get to compete for my country and possibly make it to the Olympics.”

From October to March, he competes as part of the U.S. bobsledding team around the world.

When he had the chance to compete in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy, he faced one problem: a lack of funds.

He said other team members were glad to raise one-fifth of that.

Landis has several infrastructure projects on tap through end of year

BY SHAVONNE POTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — From now through the end of the year, Landis Public Works Department will be quite busy with multiple ventures, from sidewalk repairs to sewer and waterline projects.

Public Works Director Steve Rowland said the projects are all funded with Powell Bill money, USDA funds or have been included in the town budget. All he hopes will be done before the end of the year.

Streets “We have four unpaved streets in Landis that we want to try to get paved this year,” Rowland said.

The four areas to be paved are Stagecoach Road, West Hoke Street, Lawing Drive and West Limits Street.

Rowland said most of the streets just need a block paved or the ends where it appears the roads stopped short and are just gravel.

“I’m not sure why they stopped. Perhaps they were annexed into the town limits,” Rowland said.

His goal is to use Powell Bill funds for the roadpaving project. Powell Bill funds are the revenue generated from the state gas tax and the Highway Trust Fund. Municipalities get a percentage of the funds and can only use them to repair, maintain or reconstruct local streets, bikeways or sidewalks.

Along with the streets, Rowland said there are some sidewalks that will need repairing throughout the town.

The streets division will repair unlevel places in the sidewalks, he said.

“We did $90,000 worth of repair on them last year,” Rowland said.

Water Starting in October, the water/sewer maintenance division will start the first phase of a water project that will provide better flow.

The town has a 12-inch line that runs through South Zion Street and every customer needs to be added to this new line. South Zion Street and West Mill Street customers will be affected.

“There is a lot of volume of water and we need to get it moving. The customers are on the old 8-inch line,” Rowland said.

The public works department has to flush the fire hydrants often to get the water moving through the pipes.

The town was approved in January 2008 for a USDA loan of $2.9 million and a grant of $1 million for water and wastewater infrastructure improvements.

In January 2009, the town

came across a grant program that could be used to pay the loan portion of this project.

The town later discovered it would not get the grant money and had to start the process all over again.

The second water project that will begin simultaneously with the first or after is getting a new pump station at South Chapel Street.

Essentially, the pump station receives water from the city of Kannapolis to distribute to the Landis water tank.

Then it is distributed to the town from that water tank.

The town gets part of its water from Kannapolis and part from Salisbury.

“We are waiting on the USDA to give us the goahead,” Rowland said.

The current pump station is small and it also has to be readjusted before work on a new one can begin.

Rowland said within the year, the goal is to take the new 12-inch line from the new pump station, underneath the railroad tracks, straight to Main Street and connect to the currenton Main Street at Airport Road.

Electrical The electrical project will be to reconduct and raise the voltage from South Chapel Street, east of U.S. 29, to the Highland Woods development and to East 26th Street, East 27th Street, East 28th Street and East 29th Street.

Crews will set new poles, transformer and new conductors. The project entails changing small copper wires to aluminum lines, he said.

“It will increase the flow.

There will be less resistance for electricity to pass through,” Rowland said.

Ultimately, it’s cheaper.

“If it has to work hard, it costs you more,” he said.

The low voltage makes it difficult when the town loses power during cold weather.

When the power comes back on, it sometimes doesn’t stay on.

“This will get it to come on and stay on. It will help out tremendously,” Rowland said.

The town budgeted for this project. They will need outside contractors for some of the work, but the public works employees will be involved with some of the work.

Sewer The town has to redo some sewer lines and refurbish some of its main sewer lift stations.

All of the town’s wastewater moves by gravity through pipes. The system has to pump that sewage back to Salisbury, which provides drinking water to Landis.

Some of the lines need to be repaired, replaced or relined.

The town is in the engineering process right now.

For months now, engineers

Williams family album is a slice of Americana, though somewhat morbid y mother always kept up with my inoculations and the taking of medicines prescribed for the many garden variety of childhood illnesses. Any time that I fell down and received a scrape or cut, or if I received a puncture wound, she would doublecheck with Dr. Marsh’s office to see if I had received a tetanus shot recently enough for the injury to be covered by it.

She told me a true story, which probably helped to inspire her vigilance over the state of my vaccinations’ currentness, especially in

M

the case of the one pertaining to tetanus. She told me this story so often that it replays in my mind every time I hear the word “tetanus.”

Sometime in the late 1920s or early 1930s, a relative of my father’s in the mountains had been chopping wood when his grasp slipped and he injured one of his feet with the blade. My mother remembered that the axe was in rusty condition.

She said that the man never sought treatment for it, other than what he provided on his own. In her usage of the common term for tetanus, she said that he de-

veloped “lockjaw” and died.

Ralph Stanley often sings the old acappella Appalachian Mountain song, “O Death,” and in MACK it, speaking as WILLIAMS death himself, sings: “I’ll lock your jaw till you can’t talk!”

I guess that many old family photo albums have their share of unusual people or unusually posed photographs. In our old Williams

family album, there is one “unique” photograph which, even though it is quite old and only of average size, stands out from all of the others in that album. I saw this photograph at my grandmother Williams’ home in North Wilkesboro on several occasions long ago while looking through the album there.

It seems that there was no photograph taken of my father’s relative during his lifetime, so someone decided to do so before he was consigned to the ground. I have seen some other old photographs from that era, taken

at a funeral home, or probably at home, since in those days, the body would often be laid out there in the parlor.

In those other photographs from about the same time period as my father’s relative, the deceased is seen in the open coffin, “lying in state.” Sometimes, a surviving loved one is seen standing at the edge of the coffin, gazing on affectionately.

Back then, at the home of my father’s relative, someone evidently thought that a vertical pose of the deceased within the coffin “standing” next to his surviving wife,

matching her vertical stance ( sort of), would make for a more lifelike photograph.

But it only served to accentuate death even more. Suffice it to say, while she stands, he “leans.”

In books featuring collections of American art, one runs across that classic pose of the old farmer next to his wife in the painting “American Gothic.” In contrast to these mass produced volumes of artwork, the Williams family album is only one in number, but contains its work of early 20th century Americana: “American Macabre.”

COUNTING FROM 3A daughters.

After Roberts died in 1938, she went to work to support her family.

For many years she worked for Cannon Mills, mostly in Plant No. 1.

“I went to work spooling,” she said.

The spoolers took bobbins that were almost empty, removed the remaining thread and prepared them for re-use in the spinning room.

“I had to work with my hands all the time,” she said.

“The faster I worked, the more I made!”

Then, she met and married the Rev. S.A. Graybeal, founder of Oak Grove Freewill Baptist Church off Old Beatty Ford Road.

In addition to raising a family, she dedicated much of her life to helping others through her church.

“She’d help anybody, she’d feed anybody,” said David Brooks, her great-grandson.

MEDALIST FROM 3A As the sled ran through icy curves at over 90 miles an hour, Tomasevicz said he counted the moments until he and his teammates made it to the finish safely.

But, he said, you have to keep your goals in perspective.

“If you try too hard, sometimes you forget what comes out naturally,” he said.

Since then, he’s met President Obama, gotten up on stage with Pearl Jam and appeared on David Letterman’s show.

But those things, he said, aren’t as important as the lessons he’s learned.

“When I was growing up, I had some great coaches, some great teachers, some great parents,” he said.

But by “parents” he also meant those in the community who helped to raise him.

Current Oak Grove pastor Randy Tucker said Graybeal was the one who phoned him almost two years ago to ask him to come and take that post.

He said Graybeal is an example to others of charity and dedication to her faith.

“If she can come to church at her age, surely the younger generation can,” Tucker said.

“She’s just a blessing.”

Myrtle Jean Aldridge, Graybeal’s eldest daughter, remembered that, when her father was dying, he told her to look out for her mother.

“I was eight years old,” she said. “He told me to love her and be good to her, and I have tried my level best.”

“She’s perfect. There’s not another woman like her,” said daughter Navonia Dixon.

Tamara Bressett, Graybeal’s eldest granddaughter, said she learned to cook and how to live an upstanding life from her grandmother.

“I’ll soon be 58 years old, but I’ve never missed Christmas dinner at her house,” grandson Fred “Junior”

Aldridge said.

Sitting near his greatgrandmother, 12-year-old Brandon Roberts said Graybeal has been a friend and an inspiration.

He said he tries to visit her as often as he can, and helps out around the house alongside Graybeal’s live-in caregiver.

He, too, spoke of his greatgrandmother’s example in his life.

“I try to live a good Christian life and help her as much as I can,” Brandon said.

When Graybeal herself was asked what advice she’d give to the younger generation, her answer reflected her example.

After all, she said, “It’s not like it was when I was coming up.”

And so, her best advice: “Live for the Lord,” Graybeal said.

“And,” she said, smiling, “that’s about all I can say.”

One day at football practice, he showed up only to learn that the coach had other plans.

They left their pads and helmets behind and helped a nearby farmer with illness in his family bring in crops.

“People are more important than winning a football game on the weekend,” he said.

“When people need help, the community comes together.”

He also spoke of coaches who set examples, like the late Jim Valvano of N.C. State, whose 1993 speech inspired him.

Dying of cancer, Valvano spoke about the lessons he’d learned. And a young Tomasevicz listened.

“He said that in order to be successful, there were two or three things that you have to remember,” Tomasevicz said.

“He said, remember where you’ve been, remember where you are, remember where you’re going.”

Tomasevicz told his audi-

ence to remember that same lesson.

“Remember your roots. Remember all the things your parents teach you.”

At a school where, according to administrators, some 60 percent of students are also athletes, Tomasevicz’s message about achievement is timely.

“I thought the speech was very inspiring,” Pfeiffer junior Davon Gilliard said.

Gilliard, a junior on the basketball team, said he would take Tomasevicz’s advice to heart.

“A lot of people forget where they’re from, you know,” Gilliard said.

Professor Patty Meyers, who teaches Christian education at Pfeiffer, said it was good to hear Tomasevicz talk of his faith.

“I hope my students will follow his example,” she said.

Rowland said.

The repairs will stop a lot of stormwater infiltration into sewer lines.

Infiltration is basically when rain water gets into the system, sometimes through a storm drain or a pipe that has cracks.

“Crews have already repaired some,” he said.

The pipes are made of ter-

Livingstone classes begin today Regular classes officially begin at Livingstone College today, but students were given a healthy dose of education Thursday and Friday during the school’s inaugural Holistic Mini College.

Livingstone College President Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins Sr. conceived the event as a way to welcome students while making them keenly aware of the importance of taking advantage of every opportunity the college affords. He termed it a “wakeup call” before class.

“We need you to understand this is serious business,” Jenkins told the students during the opening session Thursday morning in Varick Auditorium.

“You are here to defy the odds.”

On Friday, Jenkins again reminded the students that college is serious business.

“You’ve been given the opportunity to equip yourselves to fight the good fight,” Jenkins said. “Big things happen to us as a result of the accumulation of little things happening to us.

Young people, make the right decisions. Don’t get pressured into things you’ll later regret.

Make the right decisions.”

The Holistic Mini College — patterned after the holistic learning approach Jenkins implemented at Livingstone when he arrived in February 2006 — was unique because it exposed students to two consecutive days of information they will find useful during their time in school and once they’ve graduated.

For example, one session discussed the vital role historically black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, play in American higher education while another discussed financial literacy and a third examined what it means to “defy the odds.”

“I want you to know, young people, that you are in a race in this world,” Jenkins said. “Only a fool sees that he or she is behind in a race and refuses to run faster. You’re now in the starting blocks.”

Jenkins encouraged the students to ensure they report to class on time, spend time in the library studying or working on

class projects and to remain focused on why they came to Livingstone.

“If you’re going to defy the odds, you can’t get pressured into taking your eyes off the prize,” Jenkins said. “Tell yourselves ‘I must make the right decisions from day one.’ Make the right decisions.”

To motivate the students, Jenkins shared two videos — one produced by Livingstone students Justin Carter, Jemere Brown and Tremaine Yarborough — and the other a valedictorian speech given by Deonte Bridges of Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta.

In his poignant speech, Bridges talked about becoming his school’s first male valedictorian in more than a decade despite numerous obstacles that could have made him give up: His brother was killed, his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he was robbed at gunpoint.

“I’ve chosen to do what is necessary rather than what is popular,” Bridges said in his speech.

The video, written by Yarborough and edited by Carter and Brown, depicted the ending scene in director Spike Lee’s 1988 hit, “School Daze.” It showed then relatively unknown actor Laurence Fishburne ringing his college’s bell early one morning while continuously yelling wake up to students sleeping in nearby dorms.

The scene was so profound because Fishburne’s character, Dap, was imploring his classmates to wake up literally and figuratively and to start supporting and loving each other instead of mistreating each other because of petty differences like complexion or fraternity and sorority rivalries.

The video also depicted Livingstone College students admonishing their classmates about using derogatory language and falling into traps that can derail their graduation dreams. The students encouraged each other to be respectful of themselves and their college, to be on time for class, to study hard and apply themselves so they can succeed.

Carter said Jenkins and he came up with the idea to incorporate “School Daze” in the video.

“The need for that highly insightful wake up scene in Spike Lee’s movie is just as real today as it was 22 years ago,” Jenkins said. “We want to ensure our students don’t sleep on their chance to receive a quality education, learn some valuable life lessons and eventually leave Livingstone prepared to take their rightful place in today’s global society. I am confident this Mini Holistic College will assist them in getting off to a good start toward that accomplishment.”

The Holistic Mini College ended with a closing session led

by Attorney Max Siegel, a sports agent, NASCAR executive, author and film and television producer.

Siegel’s story was the epitome of defying the odds. His parents divorced when he was 5, and his father kidnapped MAX SIEGEL him and his younger sister and kept them from their mother for seven years. After his father’s death Siegel was reunited with his mother, but their home was plagued with violence and drug and alcohol problems.

Former Livingstone student wins Tony Award

BY LAURIE D. WILLIS Livingstone College News Service

When Daryl Waters was a piano performance major at Livingstone College, he probably had many dreams, as do most college students.

But chances are good Waters probably never envisioned winning a Tony Award and being on the same stage with two-time Academy Award winner Denzel Washington.

Yet that’s exactly what happened to Waters just a few months ago. In the time since, he has busied himself working on various projects, including a new musical in Asia that will be performed entirely in Chinese.

Waters, a 1978 Livingstone graduate, won a Tony for Best Orchestrations for the play “Memphis.” He collaborated on the orchestrations with David Bryan, keyboardist for rock band Bon Jovi.

Waters was nominated once before for co-composing the score for “Bring in ‘Da Noise Bring in ‘Da Funk,” starring Savion Glover. He was nominated with Zane Mark and Ann Duquesnay on that project.

“We had high hopes for that one,” Waters said. “Because we lost to “Rent” I decided that this time no matter what happened I was just happy to be nominated again.”

But this time, Waters grabbed more than just a nomination. He was sitting beside his niece, Jade, an acting major he invited “as an inspiring way to kick start her senior year” when his and Bryan’s names were announced.

Hearing that he’d won was surreal to say the least.

Theater and film writer, director and producer George C. Wolfe, who has been friends with Waters for a more than two decades, said oftentimes on Broadway the most deserving people don’t win but “Daryl was one of those wonderful instances when the most deserving did, in fact, win.”

Wolfe is probably best

“I instantly liked Daryl as a human being and found him to be warm, smart, funny and a really decent, generous person,” Wolfe said. “I thought he was tremendously gifted.

Waters, who was born in Cleveland but raised in East Cleveland, Ohio, came to Livingstone College after graduating from Shaw High School.

He found out about Livingstone after former band director Henry Duncombe Jr. recruited at his high school.

“Mr. Duncombe, whom we all called ‘Chief,’ was trying to put together the biggest, best marching band the college had ever seen, and he succeeded,” Waters said. “He recruited heavily at my high school because Shaw High had a reputation for turning out fine musicians. Between the amount of scholarship money he was offering and the fact that quite a few of my friends were going there, I decided to go there, too.”

“Later in life I realized that the respect for others I developed at Livingstone had become an invaluable and integral component of who I’d become,” Waters said. “That

probably wouldn’t have happened if I’d gone to a music conservatory, where the competition is so intense that there’s not a lot of time to develop ‘people skills’ ” Waters started taking piano lessons at age 7 and by the time he graduated from high school played the piano, violin, baritone horn and trumpet. Today he plays only the piano and electronic keyboards but says his knowledge of those other instruments “made it easier to write for the family of instruments they belong to.”

After graduating from Livingstone, Waters headed for New York. His story isn’t unlike many who hope to make it in The Big Apple.

“I moved to New York with two suitcases and $700 I’d borrowed from one of my grandmothers,” he said. “My ‘plan’ was to get a gig before the lease ran out on my two-month sublet!”

When he was just a few days away from packing his bags and heading back home to Cleveland, some friends told Waters the club owner where they worked as singing waiters needed a pianist.

“That job gave me the time I needed to establish myself in New York, and more and more people started calling me about better jobs.”

Four years after venturing to New York Waters was hired as the associate conductor for “Leader of the Pack,” which was directed by Michael Peters, the choreographer for several Michael Jackson videos including “Thriller.”

From there, as they say, the rest is history.

Waters has worked for legendary entertainers including Eartha Kitt, Sammy Davis Jr., Cab Calloway and Gregory Hines, as well as Jennifer Holliday and Leslie Uggams.

His role models include composer/orchestrators Quincy Jones, Danny Holgate, Harold Wheeler and Luther Henderson Jr. And he credits his mother, Bernardine Taylor, “for making me spend hours playing the same scales over and over on our piano when I was growing up.”

Despite all of that, Siegel went to Notre Dame on academic and baseball scholarships. He admits struggling in college initially but eventually got it together. Ultimately he graduated from Notre Dame only to return to attend law school there and become the first AfricanAmerican male to graduate with honors from the law school.

“That gave me confidence and made me believe in myself,” Siegel said Friday afternoon. “That taught me that regardless of where I came from, regardless of who I am, regardless of my circumstances; if I focus I can compete with the best and the brightest students from across the country.”

Like Jenkins, Siegel encouraged Livingstone’s students to take advantage of the opportunities they will receive in college.

“It is truly a blessing for me to be able to do what I do, and I don’t take it for granted,” he said. “College is not going to be easy, but I’d like to encourage all of you to set your sites really high.”

Attention Kannapolis & Surrounding Area Severe & Chronic Disc & Back Pain Sufferers…

“What If Almost Everything You’ve Been Told About Your Severe Back & Disc Pain Is…Wrong?”

Kannapolis, North Carolina – The battle lines in the Kannapolis area have been drawn for many years for all too many Kannapolis and surrounding area back and disc pain sufferers. Pain and suffering that for all but a lucky few has become both a frustrating way of life and a seemingly permanent burden.

It’s a perplexing and frustrating problem when you consider how much technology has advanced other treatments for other ailments… new treatments have come to the forefront in cancer, diabetes and a whole host of other ailments and yet many severe disc and back pain sufferers continue to struggle with no relief in sight.

However there appears to be a potential NEW answer as to WHY so many still suffer without hope for relief.

After recently speaking with one of the Kannapolis area’s busiest advocates for back and disc pain sufferers…Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, DC at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center here in the Kannapolis area… he revealed that what many think about back pain, disc pain, sciatica, scoliosis, unresolved back pain, leg and hip pain, bulging and slipped discs may in fact be completely WRONG! And while his opinions are not shared by everyone in the back and disc pain field… the doctor’s perspective is hard to ignore and he appears to have an army of smiling happy patients (FORMER back and disc pain sufferers) ready to vouch for him and his spinal center.

If you really want to know if what you’ve been told about back pain is “wrong” all you need do is ask yourself…

“Have You Tried And Failed With…” x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Anti-Inflammatories Chiropractic Yoga Exercise Stretching Physical Therapy Drugs Surgery Back Braces Natural Supplements Pilates Books Self Help Programs Infomercial Products Heat Spinal Injections Ice Hot Liniment Cold Liniment Massage Traction etc…

If You

If You Answered “Yes”…

Then this one progressive doctor would suggest that there MUST be something “WRONG” with what you’ve been told about your severe back and disc pain.

As a matter of fact Dr. Matthews is in good position to comment considering how MANY Kannapolis area back and disc pain sufferers have turned the tables on their frustration and pain by utilizing his extremely unique & NON INVASIVE approach along with a collection of some of the most advanced back and disc pain relief technology available anywhere in the state of North Carolina.

Not only that, he’s even devised a unique “screening tool” that allows them to help determine who is a GOOD candidate (likely to respond well) and who is a not so good candidate (not likely to respond well) which in turn has allowed him to have success than you might not expect, especially, with patients who’ve tried and failed to get relief with other more common treatments.

If you are suffering… agonizing pain preventing you from… x x x x x x x x

Working as much as needed or desired Enjoying time with family Lifting & holding children and grandchildren Doing yard work or home maintenance Standing in line or at a counter to make a meal Exercising for fun or health Keeping Weight off Spending time with friends

And in spite of your best efforts you’re frustrated and feeling …

x Isolated x Tired of making excuses as to why you can’t participate in work, family or friend oriented activities x Hopeless x Fearful of the future

Not All Sufferers Can Qualify And while this may sound like “bad” news it’s actually “GOOD” NEWS. And the reason is this…

One of the primary “secrets” the doctor and staff at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center admit… is that one of the major keys to their success is extremely CAREFUL candidate selection.

After YEARS of serving severe and chronic back pain sufferers throughout the Kannapolis and surrounding area they realize the level of frustration, fear and worry that goes with trying treatment after treatment and yet still failing to find RELIEF. So their main focus in determining who will and who WON’T be admitted into their program is ONLY choosing those patients who have the highest likelihood of SUCCESS. Success meaning RELIEF! Their humility and “realistic”, “give it to you straight”, “no hype”, “no pie-in-the sky” approach combined with some of the most advanced technology in the entire country also create a clinical experience that has seen even “the worst and most hopeless cases” find relief in their approach.

Surprisingly in a field where treatment often ends with what seems to be an unsaid “too bad so sad”… Dr. Matthews at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center is so committed to the success of those whose cases he does accept, he even offers his patients a “satisfaction guarantee”.* If Your Severe/Chronic Pain Is… 1. In Your Low Back (L3,4 or 5) 2. In Your Hip or Sacroiliac 3. In Your “Butt” 4. Down Your Leg Into Your Calf 5. In Your Neck (C3,4,5,6, or 7) 6. Going Down Your Arm 7. Throbbing, Stabbing, Burning 8. Like A Toothache 9. From A Herniated Disc 10. From A Slipped Disc 11. From A Ruptured Disc 12. From Stenosis 13. From Arthritis 14. Still Undiagnosed…

This one remarkable doctor wants you to know that…

It’s NOT Your Fault…

And his level of advanced technology and remarkable compassion is exactly why his exclusive and unique chronic / severe back pain system has created a flurry of interest and excitement for local chronic / severe back pain sufferers.

… then you just might be a candidate for this new exclusive and unique nonsurgical & drug FREE severe / chronic back pain relief system.

To discover if you can in fact finally put an end to your severe back pain nightmare and finally find the relief you’ve been

seeking you can call (704) 230-0522. As a special favor for those reading this feature Dr. Andrew R. Matthews, Chiropractic Physician and the Clinic Director at the Kannapolis Spine & Wellness Center is offering 11 FREE Personal Qualification Examination/Consultations over the next 10 days to help readers determine if there IS in fact any hope of you resolving your severe/chronic back pain once and for all.

The Qualification examination /consultation is valued at $247 and is truly a generous gesture considering the fact that all too often back pain sufferers receive thousands of dollars in treatments only to finish with minimal to no relief yet still having their wallet’s substantially lighter.

In this case it appears you’ll get a very straight forward recommendation based upon an advanced evaluation process whereby you’ll know BEFORE you ever spend any time or money as to whether or not you are a LEGITIMATE candidate for this exclusive back pain solution system.

So, if you’re out of options or afraid of becoming like so many others and running out of options… If you’re desperately trying to avoid surgery or want a more permanent fix than drugs or injections, do not hesitate to call.

We are located at 1909 S. Cannon Blvd.

(US Hwy 29) between Varsity Barbeque & County Cleaners. To schedule your nocost consultation and evaluation call: (704) 230-0522 You will have the opportunity to talk with the doctor and receive a thorough evaluation of the joints, muscles, alignment, posture, and flexibility of your spine, all to help better confirm your condition causing your pain and if you are a good candidate to get relief.

“I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and a bulging disc in my lower back about two years ago. I had horrific pain in my back, buttocks, legs and feet. I was living on pain medication daily. I then moved to epidural shots which did not work, and then finally the orthopedic doctor suggested surgery. After doing decompression therapy, I am now at least 90 to 95% pain free. The treatment allowed the discs to heal relieving the pressure on the sciatic nerve. I thank God for Dr. Matthews and the lumbar decompression system. Surgery is no longer needed!” ~ Jerry B.

Report: Perdue staff kept flight data RALEIGH (AP) — A new report from a board investigating more than three dozen flights North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue took on supporter provided private airplanes shows her staff kept detailed records on the trips.

The Raleigh News & Observer reported Sunday that t h e governor’s election staff turned over the flight spreadsheet to an investigator, who amended her report to the State Board of Elections, the agency investigating the trips.

The information could contradict Perdue blaming the failure to report 41 campaign flights on poor record keeping by her staff.

But campaign spokesman Marc Farinella told the newspaper Saturday that staffers just did a lousy job tracking flights.

The elections board will review the amended report at a meeting Tuesday in Asheville.

Authorities say the officers told the man to drop the gun several times, but instead he pointed the weapon at police.

The man died at the scene of the shooting. His name has not been released.

The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating whether police were justified in the shooting.

6-year-old boy killed by tobacco harvester

Comments favor bridge replacement OREGON INLET (AP) — North Carolina officials have received more than 4,000 comments on what to do with an aging bridge linking the Outer Banks to the mainland.

The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported Sunday just nine opposed the state Department of Transportation’s wish to begin replacing the Bonner Bridge as soon as possible.

DOT spokesman Drew Joyner says the comments will weigh heavily as state and federal officials decide whether to do more studies or start planning a replacement for the only bridge linking the southern Outer Banks to the rest of the state.

Some environmental groups want more study to see if a 17-mile bridge that would bypass a wildlife refuge is a better alternative. Joyner says comment from interest groups aren’t included in the public comment total.

Ask Amy: Cozy relationship with ex causes pet peeve Dear Amy: I was married for 17 years and have been divorced for a year. I moved on quickly and have been dating somebody for the better part of a year.

My ex and I are on friendly terms because we have a son together. She calls me to ASK discuss our AMY son. I have no feelings about her whatsoever. My girlfriend says my ex is still trying to control me, but that’s not true.

I feel my girlfriend is jealous. She says all the phone calls from the ex have to stop, even though she doesn’t call that often.

My girlfriend and I went away for a weekend and the ex was calling to give me updates about my pets be-

cause I had nobody else to watch them.

My girlfriend’s kids kept calling all weekend, but I understood because they had not been without her for an extended time.

I love this girlfriend but we seem to fight regularly.

I am starting to feel this relationship is not worth it.

She also criticizes my son all the time.

How do I figure enough is enough with the girlfriend — or get her to understand the ex will be in the picture as co-parent to my son?

I thought I had established a boundary with the ex, or haven’t I? — Thoroughly Confused Dear Confused: Your ex checking in with you repeatedly to give you updates about your pets while you are away on a romantic weekend is a bit much. If your son was calling to talk

to you, that would be one thing, but pet-oriented phone calls really aren’t necessary unless Fifi or Puffball faces some sort of emergency.

However, if you aren’t willing to pull back a little from this relationship (or draw your girlfriend in more by including her), then the tension between you won’t change.

My instinct is that while your girlfriend might be right, and your relationship with your ex is a little too cozy, your girlfriend will still have to go.

Why? Because she is mean to your kid.

That’s a deal-breaker. 

Dear Amy: We live in a quiet neighborhood, at least it was until recently. We have some wacky neighbors across the street who would occasionally smoke some marijuana. We tolerated the smell, because it did not

happen too often.

In the last month, this has greatly increased and now their backyard is frequently a horrendous haze of smoke and stench.

My husband is going nuts, as he is a federal agent.

I am trying to keep some peace in the neighborhood, but we are now noticing that cars are stopping at the house for very short periods; people disappear inside for a few minutes, then take off.

My husband suspects they (including the mother) are selling drugs out of the house.

My husband wants to engage the local police and crash the party for good, but I worry about them coming after my dog and me (our children are grown).

What do you think we should do?

— Worried Neighbor

Dear Worried: If you let this household turn your street into a drug supermarket, all of your lives will be severely affected. You should not stand by and let this happen (and frankly, I’m surprised your husband would).

Get the police involved and ask them to keep an eye on the street. If they start patrolling, it could have an immediate impact on the party, but if you wait it will be more entrenched and harder to stop. 





Dear Amy: I couldn’t believe your response to “Worried Parents,” whose daughter-in-law posted an update on Facebook notifying people of her husband’s illness, rather than calling the parents directly. Rather than chastise this rude daughter-in-law, you suggested this worried parent should become more comfortable with Facebook!

Wow — you really blew it on that one!

— Disappointed Dear Disapointed: You’re right. I don’t know what I was thinking. I can only assume I was afflicted with “Facebook Blindness” (the certainty that every problem is solved through Facebook) when I composed my answer. You are correct that a personal phone call is necessary when conveying emergency news to worried parents.

Scrimp on: Curtains can be found secondhand, bought cheap or made yourself. Tab or grommet panels and valances are a cheap option.

Or sew some straight panels from fabric that can be bought secondhand or on sale at a fabric store. Another reader, Kim from Alabama, adds: “I have a twin-size flat sheet as a curtain on my bedroom window. It’s pulled back and fastened with a decorative drapery tie with tassel.

The fitted sheet I used to cover two long pillows to make a padded headboard for my bed that sits right on top of the mattresses. I have just a Hollywood frame and didn’t want to spend the money for a wooden headboard. Now the curtains and the headboard match. It works for me since the set of sheets was used and was given to me! The pillows for the headboard were ‘salvaged’ foam sofa cushion cut to the desired size.”

Splurge on: Consider furniture that has a dual purpose, such as chests that can be used as storage and a table. A large dresser can be used for clothes, as a makeshift buffet, in the garage as a potting bench or to hold miscellaneous tools, in a mudroom to hold winter gear, as a TV stand, or to hold games, craft supplies or books.

Moving can be exciting and stressful. Whether it’s your first apartment or a move into a new-to-you home, you’ll be tempted to buy new furnishings and home decor. Many interior decorating accents and solutions can be either handmade projects or purchased secondhand.

SARA Maybe your NOEL budget has room to splurge a bit. You can combine and mix styles as well as low-end and high-end elements without looking cheap.

What items do you think you should spend and save on to furnish a new place?

Here are a few suggestions.

Splurge on: Some of your larger anchor pieces, such as couches, dining or kitchen tables, mattresses and bed frames, can be more high-end items. Excluding mattresses, there are plenty of deals to be found at estate sales, antique stores, in classified ads, retail furniture clearance sales, hand-me-downs from family, etc. One reader, Carla from Canada, shares: “I felt we should buy a quality couch, as it is something that gets a lot of use and should last a long time. I also felt it was worth paying extra if needed to get something that was actually comfortable to sit on. We bought a solid wood enter-

• Buy time. Experts say that time is the best antidote for the “disease to please,” whether it be five minutes or five months. Never answer on the spot. Nothing is so urgent you cannot take time to think about it.

Acting to please can be noble and gratifying, as long as the decision to do so is for the joy it brings, not for what you expect to get in return.

er last. You respond to everyone’s requests and just keep doing more and more with promptness and perfection.

In a way, this might seem like more of a conflict than a revelation. After all, aren’t we called to act with generosity out of hearts of gratitude and service? Isn’t it selfish always to say no?

There is a huge difference between authentic service and using it as an opportunity to manipulate.

Some doctors say the “disease to please” can actually kill us. The emotional buildup of not being able to say no increases our stress hormones, such as adrenaline. That makes our hearts beat faster than normal, our blood pressure rise and our blood vessels narrow. That can lead to a heart attack, a stroke or even cancer.

So what’s the treatment?

• Analyze your motivation. Before you say yes to anything, do a quick selfanalysis. Why am I doing this? Why am I buying this?

What am I expecting in return? If you can answer “nothing in return,” then your motivation is pure. If there’s another answer, it’s probably some form of manipulation.

• Realize you are in control. Becoming assertive is the way to arrest this disease. It takes courage to say no, to be honest and to set

Iowa farms recalling eggs share suppliers, other ties

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama had a simple task for his first morning on vacation: shoot over to a Martha’s Vineyard bookstore to fill out his daughters’ summer reading list and grab himself a novel.

Easier said than done.

His SUV, part of a 20-vehicle motorcade, passed through a cordon of Massachusetts State Police motorcycle officers, in a protective cocoon of Secret Service agents. Tagging along for the quick trip Friday were White House communications trucks, an ambulance and two vans full of reporters and photographers.

It was the same drill Saturday when he went to the beach for a picnic lunch with his family.

This may be down time for Obama, but like all modern presidents, celebrities and some wannabes, he must move about with a not insignificant entourage. It includes security officers and their array of arms, as well as advisers, friends in and out of politics, and a cook who doubles as a golfing buddy.

“They all have it and they all hate it,” said Ron Kaufman, political director for former President George H.W. Bush.

“Every president that I know has been accused of taking off too much time and ignoring the responsibilities of their job. But the truth is, they never get away from it.”

Mike McCurry, press secretary for former President Bill Clinton, said: “It is literally true that ever since World

War II, the president can be commander in chief wherever he goes. That’s why you have that communications truck go everywhere he goes.”

Obama aides said before the Massachusetts trip that the president would travel light, with a skeleton staff. Accompanying him on Air Force One were senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, who has her own house on this island getaway, and his counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan.

When they landed on Cape Cod, Obama transferred to Marine One, the presidential helicopter, while his staff and reporters raced to a pair of Marine Corps CH-53 helicopters. Other Blackhawk helicopters, painted identical to Marine One, flew with Obama’s as decoy aircraft. A State Police chopper swept over the route to Martha’s Vineyard Airport before the president passed overhead.

Brennan, who said he wanted to give the president his space while on vacation, briefed Obama on national security issues during the first day on the trip. Brennan also said he would rely on the phone and presidential BlackBerry to provide other updates not requiring a visit to Blue Heron Farm, the 30-acre property the Obama family was using for the second consecutive year.

“Communication systems are very robust. We can move information at the speed of light,” said Brennan. “If there were to be some type of event that would require immediate engagement with the president, I am certain I can do it

19 Ore. football players treated for mysterious muscle injury WILLAMETTE VALLEY, Ore. (AP) — School officials, parents and players remained puzzled Sunday over what caused 19 members of a high school football team in northwest Oregon to suffer muscle damage — three of whom required surgery — following a fall camp.

The 19 McMinnville High School players all had elevated levels of the enzyme creatine kinase, or CK, which is released by muscles when they’re injured, said Dr. Craig Winkler of Willamette Valley Medical Center. High CK levels can lead to kidney failure if not properly treated.

“To have an epidemic like this is very weird,” Winkler said. “To have this number of athletes in one single community in one environment is very usual.”

Three of the players also were diagnosed with a rare soft-tissue condition called “compartment syndrome,” which caused soreness and swelling in their triceps. They underwent surgery to relieve the pressure, Winkler said.

Five of the athletes were treated in the emergency room and sent home. The other 11 were admitted to the hospital and given intravenous fluids to maintain adequate hydration and prevent kidney failure, he said.

Ten boys remained hospitalized Sunday, but they were in good condition and were expected to be released Monday, said Rosemari Davis, Willamette Valley Medical Center’s chief executive officer.

Officials said the cause was still a mystery, but high CK levels can result from vigorous exercise or the use of certain medications or food supplements.

Small plane with four on board missing in southwest Alaska ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Searchers were looking Sunday for a small plane carrying four people, including three park rangers, that disappeared in southwest Alaska during bad weather.

The aerial search for the Dehavilland Beaver was focusing on rugged coastal terrain between Swikshak Lagoon in Katmai National Park and the floatplane’s destination in King Salmon, about 285 miles southwest of Anchorage. There has been no emergency locator transmissions or radio communications from the aircraft, said park superintendent Ralph Moore, who was holding out hope that

as quickly as I could do back in Washington.”

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was taking his own vacation during the president’s 10-day break. Other top aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel and political strategist David Axelrod, were nowhere in sight.

Deputy press secretary Bill Burton was among the traveling party. In a nod to the more casual tone, he brought along his wife, but Burton traded his island wear for a business suit as he delivered the first of what he expected to be several media briefings.

He took care to also say the president was getting updates on economic issues, even if he wasn’t from a crowd of aides in their usual morning Oval Office session.

“His economic team back in Washington is sending on memos and important updates on what’s happening on the economy as they happen,” Burton said. “While he’s here, he’ll, of course, pick up the phone and call members of his economic team.”

When he does step away from “the office,” Obama is never alone. Besides Jarrett, a family friend before she was an employee, the president has been joined again on vacation by a longtime Chicago pal, Eric Whitaker.

He golfed with Obama on Friday, in a foursome that also included South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn, the No. 3 House Democrat, and Marvin Nicholson, who oversees Obama’s entourage as White House trip director.

MIAMI (AP) — Tropical Storm Danielle is strengthening in the open Atlantic, but the system is still far from land.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sunday that Danielle had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph) and the storm could become a hurricane by late Tuesday. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Frank is developing in the Pacific off Mexico, and storm warnings have been issued for parts of the coast.

soning. A week later, Hillandale Farms recalled 170 million eggs.

DeCoster is no stranger to controversy in his food and farm operations: • In 1994, the state of Iowa assessed at least four separate penalties against DeCoster Farms for environmental violations, many of them involving hog waste.

• In 1997, DeCoster Egg Farms agreed to pay $2 million in fines to settle citations brought in 1996 for health and safety violations at DeCoster’s farm in Turner, Maine. The nation’s labor secretary at the time, Robert Reich, said conditions were “as dangerous and oppressive as any sweatshop.” Reich’s successor, Alexis Herman, called the state of the farms “simply atrocious,” citing unguarded machinery, electrical hazards, exposure to harmful bacteria and other unsanitary conditions.

• In 2000, Iowa designated DeCoster a “habitual violator” of environmental regulations for problems that included hog manure runoff into waterways.

• In 2002, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced a more than $1.5 million settlement of an employment

the floatplane landed in a cove to wait out the area’s abruptly changing weather.

“The fact that there’s been no radio transmissions from them is very disturbing to us,” he said.

The plane, which was carrying the pilot and park rangers, was reported missing after it did not arrive in King Salmon as expected Saturday, according to the Coast Guard.

CHICAGO (AP) — Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich thinks a future in politics is still a possibility.

Blagojevich said he won’t rule out another run for political office if federal prosecutors fail to convict him at a second trial, according to an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

His comments came days after he was convicted of lying to federal agents. Jurors, however, deadlocked on 23 other more serious charges, including that he had tried to sell President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat.

Federal prosecutors have said they will retry Blagojevich on those charges, but the former governor insisted that he will be vindicated. A federal judge has scheduled a Thursday hearing to decide the manner and timing of a retrial.

“I didn’t lie to the FBI. And I’m not lying to you, and I’m not lying to the people,” Blagojevich told talk show host Chris Wallace.

When Wallace asked Blagojevich if he would run for office again, he answered, “If you’re asking me, do I believe that there’s a potential political comeback in the future, when I’m vindicated in this case, absolutely I do.”

Blagojevich’s appearance was part of a media blitz that began Friday when he appeared on NBC’s “Today” show. The appearances seem intended to appeal, at least in part, to anyone who might end up on a second jury.

TO MAIL-ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS

As a pharmacy patient, YOU have the right to purchase your prescriptions at the pharmacy of your choice.* “JUST SAY NO” to those calls and letters you are getting from some non-pharmacist agent trying to get you to move all of your prescriptions to mail-order.

Mail-order is bad healthcare. It is important for every patient to have a personal relationship with their local pharmacist, to ask questions and better understand medication side effects, as well as have someone to ask those important health care questions. You certainly do not have that ability with your postman.

Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers make more money if they can force you into mail-order. Medications are given to you by your doctor to improve your healthcare and quality of health. You need access to your local pharmacist to council you on these medications. You also need access to cross check the new medications with other medications you already take to guard again interactions. Your postman can’t do this either.

If you are being told you have to use mail-order and are being discriminated against, call Wayne Goodwin, the Commissioner of Insurance (919-807-6750) and tell him you want your rights protected and you want to get your medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

Media vehicles wait on standby near the site where President Obama and the first family are vacationing on Matha’s Vineyard.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two Iowa farms that recalled more than a half-billion eggs linked to as many as 1,300 cases of salmonella poisoning share suppliers of chickens and feed as well as ties to an Iowa business routinely cited for violating state and federal law.

Food and Drug Administration investigators have yet to determine the cause of the salmonella outbreaks at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. The FDA investigation could take months, and sources of contamination are often difficult to find.

The number of illnesses, which can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72 hours after eating a contaminated product.

The company Quality Egg supplies young chickens and feed to both Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms.

The two share other suppliers, said Jewanna Porter, a spokeswoman for the egg industry, but she did not name them.

The egg industry has consolidated over recent years, placing fewer, larger businesses in control over much of the nation’s egg supply to consumers.

The salmonella outbreak has raised questions about federal inspections of egg farms. The FDA oversees inspections of shell eggs, while the Agriculture Department is in charge of inspecting other egg products.

William D. Marler, a Seattle attorney for a person who filed suit alleging illness from tainted eggs in a salad at a restaurant in Kenosha, Wis., said Sunday his firm has been retained by two dozen families and was representing a woman who was hospitalized in California.

“The history of ignoring the law makes the sickening of 1,300 and the forced recall of 550 million eggs shockingly understandable,” Marler said in an e-mail to the Associated Press. “You have to wonder where the USDA and FDA inspectors were.”

“The truth shall make you free”

My Turn: Kevin L. Wilson

Artful dodging, artful taxing ALEIGH — Last year, my wife and I were audited by the IRS. At times, the back-andforth correspondence between government agency, our accountant and ourselves became a bit confusing. In the end, we paid a bit more taxes which the accountant made up for by waiving his fees for the following year’s returns.

One of the more astonishing aspects of the audit was a plain and obvious mistake by the IRS. InitialSCOTT ly, auditors MOONEYHAM claimed that I had failed to declare as income some winnings from a fishing tournament.

I was almost certain they were wrong, for a couple of reasons: One, I was pretty sure that I recalled including the 1099 form documenting the winnings in the materials sent to our accountant; two, I had won more money from the same tournament organization and just had put the latest 1099 form in the stack of materials that would be sent to our accountant when we filed our next returns.

Ultimately, my less-thanperfect memory was on the mark.

But the audit left me wondering how auditors could be so incompetent as to not be able to match up a claim of income distributed by one party with a claim of income earned by another?

After all, it was right there in the handful of documents that they were auditing.

These days, it’s the state tax man who is under scrutiny following revelations by the News & Observer of Raleigh that a 2009 policy change combined with a 2007 legal change could have allowed the state to keep money from taxpayers who overpaid their taxes.

Until last year, that had never been the case. The state Department of Revenue had a policy of promptly returning any overpayments discovered.

Then, legislators passed a law in 2007 setting up new procedures to settle tax disputes.

The law made clear that the department could only send back overpayments when a three-year statute of limitations has not expired, the amount shown due on the return was not correct, and that correction showed that the taxpayer overpaid.

Two years later, the department passed a policy essentially saying that an overpayment error wasn’t an error until an agency employee had verified it, and not when a computer flagged it.

That meant a taxpayer might not be notified of an overpayment until after the three-year statute of limitations had run out.

Department officials responded to the revelations by saying that they never intended for the policy change to be a means of slickly capturing money to which they weren’t entitled.

In other words, blame bureaucratic incompetence not outright pilfery. OK, will do.

Gov. Beverly Perdue — her head surely spinning from scandals, budget woes and the dour economy that she’s inherited — said she was incensed.

Within a few days, she had guaranteed that any affected taxpayers would be made whole and 80 department employees were leafing through tax returns to correct overpayments.

Wonder whether that’s ever happened at the IRS? • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

Salisbury Post Sen. Hagan’s disconnect on ‘don’t ask’ n February, I contacted both of our North Carolinasenators to voice my concern over the president’s then-recent call for lifting the ban on homosexuals serving openly in the armed forces. While Senator Burr provided a quick and highly laudable reply (he strongly opposes repealing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy), Senator Hagan dithered with her response, only getting back with me a week or so ago. Given her party affiliation, hers was a predictable — if somewhat absurd — reply. In fact, the more I consider her words, the more I am inclined to question her grasp of this and other important issues.

Her response boiled down to this statement: “North Carolinais the most military friendly state in the nation, and I believe that anyone willing and able to serve should be able to do so openly.” Now, while it is manifestly true that North Carolina is a military friendly state, it is less than clear how this fact relates to the “necessity” of allowing homosexuals to serve openly. In fact, and if I did not know better (right), I would say she is guilty of a clear and egregious non sequitur.

Irritated with her poor reasoning, I saw fit to send her a strongly worded critique, the content of which runs as follows: “Thank you for your reply to the message I sent you in the winter concerning the wrongheaded move to repeal the ‘Don't Ask, Don't Tell’policy. While I am glad that you finally got around to responding to my message, I was less than thrilled with what you had to say. North Carolina’s status as ‘the most military friendly state in the nation’is the last thing Kevin L. Wil- you should have alluded to son is a veterin announcing your supan of the Unitport of the repeal. In fact, ed States Air you should not have menForce and mili- tioned this fact at all, since tary historian most military people (vetin training. He erans most especially) velives in China hemently oppose lifting Grove. the ban. You would have done far better to say that like most good liberals, you could not care less about maintaining a strong defense and protecting the traditions that made our country great. Alas, however, you couched your response in the normal doubletalk that so characterizes political life in our country these days.

You and I both know that repealing the ban will do nothing to enhance our nation’s defense. In fact, much good evidence shows that this move will have a highly corrosive effect on the warrior culture that underlies all branches of our armed forces. No, this move is about politics pure and simple. The Democratic Party, from the President to the local union boss to you, madam, owes a large debt to a homosexual lobby that is no longer willing to take ‘no’ for an answer.

Fine. I understand certain of the things that motivate politicians and political parties.

Moreover, I know that asking for candor from such people defies logic, but please, it insults the public’s intelligence for you to give answers such as these. If absolute honesty is out of the question, just say ‘no comment.’ Saying nothing is often the wisest choice of all.”

Given her history, I am not holding my breath waiting for Senator Hagan to respond to this critique. I at least wish she would consider it as debate goes forward on framing a policy that could seriously reducethe efficacy of our military forces.

While she bases her position in part on recommendations from political appointees (Defense Secretary Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen respectively), she would do well to consider advice from the more than 1,050 retired military officers(including 47 fourstar leaders) who, a year ago, sent the president a letter urging him to leave the current policy in place. Alas, such a move would require suspending the political in favor of the virtuous, which, with politicians, is like persuading a camel to walk through the eye of a needle.

Those who know the military realize that the rules of civilian society seldom apply to it, and that to promote such standards for capricious and politically expedient reasons often does more harm than good. Senator Hagan should consider this fact in rethinking her position on this important issue.

Dr. Laura, right and wrong EW YORK — When an African-American caller asked her help in dealing with what she considered racist remarks by friends and family of her white husband, Schlessinger mocked her pain as hypersensitive and repeated the offending N-word several times.

Outrage ensued and Schlessinger soon after announced her retirement. America’s self-appointed superego said she was wrong, but characteristically feisty, said she is leaving radio not in shame, but to reclaim her First Amendment rights.

In other words, she wants to be able to say what she pleases without fear of offending certain groups. Don’t we all? But sometimes people are offended for good reason.

My soft spot for Dr. Laura corresponds to a period 15 years or so ago when she and I were often on the same KATHLEEN page. I was writing a family-oriPARKER ented column at the time and listened to her on the radio while carpooling. Sometimes, she would read my column on air.

Our shared anthem was “stop whining and take responsibility.”

This is hardly a revolutionary concept today, but the idea had been gathering dust for some time following America’s cultural marriage of victimhood and narcissism. Coincident with widespread family dissolution -- when extended-family safety nets had largely disintegrated -- Schlessinger emerged to fill the role of a tough-love parent.

Notoriously rapier-tongued, she always cut close to the bone. Invariably, the tougher she was with callers, the more they clamored for her.

Voluntary public flagellation became a drawing card for an audience of 9 million listeners who apparently felt the need for a stern lecture.

Another reason for her popularity: Dr. Laura was usually right. Every now and then, she got it flat wrong, as when she said homosexuality was a “biological error.” That mistake cost her a TV show.

Worse than being wrong, which is a hazard of thinking aloud, she is guilty at times of not listening and leaping to conclusions before a caller has had time to finish. Even so, to my frequent surprise, she gets to the nugget and manages to reach exactly the right conclusion. Perhaps after decades of listening to the same 10 problems

N

Common sense

most humans suffer, she figures she can skip the chase altogether.

At other times, as now, her failure to listen is disastrous.

The African-American caller never was able to explain fully the context or content of the remarks that made her uncomfortable. Instead, Dr. Laura repeatedly interrupted, even suggesting that the woman shouldn’t have married outside her race if she was going to be so thinskinned. We now have a new definition for “way over the top.”

Dr. Laura’s stated point was that since blacks frequently use the N-word, whites should be able to as well. She was correct that the word gets lots of exercise — and her use of it was in the prosecution of that point. Even so, the Nword stands alone as too injurious for whites to use, period. Everyone knows this.

When blacks use it, they are reclaiming the word, robbing its power to intimidate by making it their own. The same spirit was behind Eve Ensler’s “Reclaiming C--” in “The Vagina Monologues.”

Used by a man against a woman, the word is vile and threatening.

Used by women among women, it becomes something else. Silly, if you ask me, but benign.

In any case, context is key and we never learned from Dr. Laura’s caller how the N-word was used in her situation. The woman may well have been justified in feeling hurt, and Dr. Laura might have helped. Instead, she made matters worse.

Even so, Dr. Laura deserves a little slack. The good she has done during her 30-year run, helping people see their own flawed thinking, far outweighs her insensitivity in this case. She was unfeeling and callous, true. She also missed an opportunity to discuss why some words carry more freight than others.

But silencing people for expressing opinions or using certain words that grate on our public sensibilities carries its own risks. Even though Dr. Laura is retiring of her own volition, she is correct in noting that the overt hostilities waged in today’s world against any who speak “incorrectly” has become a threat to our ability to speak freely. No matter how unpleasant, an honest discussion is healthier for the nation than censoring thoughts that ultimately may find less appealing avenues of expression.

Iran has first unmanned bomber TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday inaugurated the country’s first domestically built unmanned bomber aircraft, calling it an “ambassador of death” to Iran’s enemies.

The 4-meter-long drone aircraft can carry up to four cruise missiles and will have a range of 620 miles (1,000 kilometers), according to a state TV report — not far enough to reach archenemy Israel.

“The jet, as well as being an ambassador of death for the enemies of humanity, has a main message of peace and friendship,” said Ahmadinejad at the inauguration cerem o n y , which fell on the country’s national day for its defense industries.

The president championed the country’s military self-sufficiency program, and said it will continue “until the enemies of humanity lose hope of ever attacking the Iranian nation.”

On Friday, Iran also test-fired a new liquid fuel surface-to-surface missile, the Qiam-1, with advanced guidance systems.

Haiti’s elections board rejected Jean’s candidacy Friday night — presumably because it decided he didn’t meet residency requirements, although the board did not cite a specific reason. Under Haitian law, a presidential candidate must have lived in the country for five consecutive years leading up to the election.

Jean has argued that he was not required to comply with the law so strictly because after President Rene Preval appointed him as roving ambassador in 2007, he was allowed to travel and live outside the country.

Some officials in Haiti worried about political unrest among Jean supporters after his candidacy was rejected. But the singer asked his fans to stay calm, and there were no significant election-related protests or violence over the weekend — although rumors swirled about a large protest planned for Monday.

Faulty security blamed for theft of van Gogh painting in Egypt

CAIRO (AP) — None of the alarms and only seven out of 43 surveillance cameras were working at a Cairo museum where a Vincent van Gogh painting was stolen, Egypt’s top prosecutor said Sunday.

Thieves made off with the canvas, known by the titles of “Poppy Flowers” and “Vase with Flowers,” on Saturday from the Mahmoud Khalil Museum in the Egyptian capital.

Prosecutor general Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud told Egypt’s state news agency Sunday that the thieves used a box cutter to remove the painting from its frame. He blamed the heist on the museum’s lax security measures, calling them “for the most part feeble and superficial.”

The museum guards’ daily rounds at closing time were inadequate and did not meet minimum security requirements to protect internationally renowned works of art, he said.

Relatives of miners trapped in a collapsed mine in Copiapo, Chile, react after being informed that one of the drill machines being used in the rescue effort has reached the depth where the miners have been trapped for 17 days.

Trapped miners alive in Chile SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile’s president euphorically waved the note, written deep inside a collapsed mine, that his country waited 17 agonizing days to see: “All 33 of us are fine in the shelter,” one of the trapped miners wrote in red letters.

Authorities and relatives of the miners hugged, climbed a nearby hill, planted 33 flags and sang the national anthem Sunday after a probe sent some 2,257 feet (688 meters) deep into the mine came back with the note. “Today all of Chile is crying with excitement and joy,” President Sebastian Pinera said.

The miners’ ordeal may have just begun: Rescuers say it could take four months — until around Christmas — to get them out.

The men already have been trapped underground longer than all but a few miners rescued in recent history. Last year, three miners survived 25 days trapped in a flooded mine in southern China, and two miners in northeast China were rescued after 23 days in 1983.

Few other rescues have taken more than two weeks.

For the moment, however, news that the men even survived an Aug. 5 tunnel collapse outshines all other details.

“I’m happy, happy,” said one of miner Mario Gomez’s three daughters. “For the first time, I’ll be able to sleep peacefully.”

Pinera told Cooperativa radio that he saw video of the miners thanks to a camera sent through the probe shaft.

“I saw eight or nine of them. They were waving their hands. They got close to the camera and we could see their eyes, their joy,” Pinera said.

Word of the miners’ survival was a rush of good news in a country still rebuilding from a magnitude 8.8 earthquake Feb. 27 and its resulting tsunami, which together killed at least 521 people and left 200,000 homeless.

Mine officials and relatives of the workers had hoped the men reached a shelter inside the mine when the tunnel collapsed the San Jose gold and copper mine about 530 miles (850 kilometers) north of the capital, Santiago.

But they had said air and

food supplies would only last 48 hours.

Rescuers drilled repeatedly in an effort to reach the shelter, but failed seven times; they blamed the errors on the mining company’s maps. Hopes rose after the eighth attempt early Sunday when rescuers heard hammering sounds.

Crews sent down a probe, then pulled it up with two notes the trapped miners had placed inside, including the one Pinera read. Gomez, 63, wrote the other note to his wife, confirming the miners’ location underground and saying he loved her.

“When the mining minister said he had sent me a note, I couldn’t believe it,” said Gomez’s wife, Lila Ramirez. “I know my husband is strong, and at 63, is the most experienced miner who could lead his co-workers. But no more mining (for him.)”

Gomez wrote that the miners used vehicles for light and a backhoe to dig a canal to retrieve underground water.

The opening the miners used to deliver the notes is not wide enough to haul up the miners.

MOSQUE FROM 1A sist the center will promote moderate Islam. The dispute has sparked a national debate on religious freedom and American values and is becoming an issue on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans have been critical of President Barack Obama’s stance: He has said the Muslims have the right to build the center at the site but has not commented on whether he thinks they should.

Rauf is in the middle of a Mideast trip funded by the U.S. State Department that is intended to promote religious tolerance. He told a gathering Sunday at the U.S. ambassador’s residence in the Persian Gulf state of Bahrain that he took heart from the dispute over the mosque, saying “the fact we are getting this kind of attention is a sign of success.”

“It is my hope that people will understand more,” Rauf said without elaborating.

Democratic New York Gov. David Paterson has suggested that state land farther from ground zero be used for the center. Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, expressed some openness to that idea on ABC’s “This Week with Christiane Amanpour,” but said she

would have to meet with the center’s other “stakeholders” first.

“We want to build bridges,” Khan said. “We don’t want to create conflict, this is not where we were coming from. So, this is an opportunity for us to really turn this around and make this into something very, very positive. So we will meet, and we will do what is right for everyone.”

But Khan also said the angry reaction to the project “is like a metastasized anti-Semitism.”

“It’s not even Islamophobia. It’s beyond Islamophobia,” she said. “It’s hate of Muslims.”

At the pro-mosque rally, staged a block away from opponents’ demonstration, several hundred people chanted, “Muslims are welcome here!

We say no to racist fear!”

Dr. Ali Akram, a 39-yearold Brooklyn physician, came with his three sons and an 11year-old nephew waving an American flag. He noted that scores of Muslims were among those who died in the towers, and he called those who oppose the mosque “unAmerican.”

“They teach their children about the freedom of religion in America — but they don’t practice what they preach,” Akram said.

John Green, who lost a friend in the attacks, said that although organizers have the

right to build the project, “I think if they moved it, they would get the respect of more Americans than if they play hardball.” He was demonstrating in the group of mosque opponents.

Gila Barzvi, whose son, Guy, was killed in the towers, stood with mosque opponents, clutching a large photo of her son with both hands.

“This is sacred ground and it’s where my son was buried,” the native Israeli from Queens said. She said the mosque would be “like a knife in our hearts.”

She was joined by a close friend, Kobi Mor, who flew from San Francisco to participate in the rally.

If the mosque gets built, “we will bombard it,” Mor said. He would not elaborate but added that he believes the project “will never happen.”

Rauf, in an interview with Bahrain’s Al Wasat newspaper, said America’s sweeping constitutional rights are more in line with Islamic principles than the limits imposed by some Muslim nations.

“American Muslims have the right to practice their religion in accordance with the Constitution of the United States,” Rauf said. “I see the article of independence as more compliant with the principles of Islam than what is available in many of the current Muslim countries.”

Leland Chapman said one of the biggest thrills of working as a page was meeting some of his political heroes.

IRAQ FROM 1A Leland promised himself he’d ask to meet Obama.

“I thought it was nice his own congressman met him and responded in such a positive way,” Donna said.

He was invited to return as a congressional intern, something not often asked of pages.

“I’m glad I made connections with people,” he said.

He is a member of his school’s National Honor Society, Student Council, Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD), Student Advisory Board and works on the weekend at Extreme Play, an indoor playground at Carolina Mall.

Leland is very involved in his church, Bethel Baptist in Kannapolis, where he’s a part of the health care committee, hospitality committee, a former choir member and currently part of Men of Integrity, a men’s ministry.

He is studying to become a certified nursing assistant.

Leland said he has great support from his family that includes stepfather Brian Rucker, who’s a lieutenant in the Rowan Sheriff’s Office and called Leland a great kid.

“He’s respectful. Whatever he wants to do in life, I truly believe he will do it,” Rucker said.

Leland’s fulfilling his dream of becoming a page is a great accomplishment, Rucker said.

“Dreams are possible. I want young people to know it can happen,” Leland said.

One of the mementos that Chapman treasures is a copy of President Barack O’Bama’s State of the Union speech.

His father Leonard A. Chapman Sr., resides in Kannapolis.

Leland hopes to enter the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to study premed with a minor in political science.

In interviews Sunday, Gen. Ray Odierno said it may take several years before Americans can determine whether the war was a success. said.

Much of that may hinge on whether Iraq’s political leaders can overcome ethnic divisions and work toward a more unified government, while also enabling security forces to tamp down a simmering insurgency.

Iraq’s political parties have been bickering for more than five months since the March parliamentary elections failed to produce a clear winner.

They have yet to reach agreements on how to share power or whether to replace embattled Shiite Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and amid the political instability, other economic and governmental problems fester.

Fueling that instability is neighboring Iran which, Odierno said, continues to fund and train Shiite extremist groups.

“They don’t want to see Iraq turn into a strong democratic country. They’d rather see it become a weak governmental institution,” said Odierno.

He added that he is not worried that Iraq will fall back into a military dictatorship, as it was under the reign of Saddam Hussein.

ternal security and protect Iraqis, Odierno said he believes military commanders want to have the U.S. involved beyond 2011 to help Iraqis acquire the required equipment, training and technical capabilities.

He said Iraq’s security forces have matured to the point where they will be ready to shoulder enough of the burden to permit the remaining 50,000 soldiers to go home at the end of next year.

If the Iraqis asked that American troops remain in the country after 2011, Odierno said U.S. officials would consider it, but that would be a policy decision made by the president and his national security advisers.

Odierno’s assessment, while optimistic, also acknowledges the difficult road ahead for the Iraqis as they take control of their own security, even as political divisions threaten the formation of the fledgling democracy.

South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham, who’s on the Senate Armed Services Committee, told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that he hopes “we will have an enduring relationship of having some military presence in Iraq. I think that would be smart not to let things unwind over the next three or five years.”

On Thursday, the 4th Stryker Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division began crossing the border from Iraq into Kuwait, becoming the last combat brigade to leave Iraq.

Its exodus, along with that of the approximately 2,000 remaining U.S. combat forces destined to leave in the coming days, fulfills Obama’s pledge to end combat operations in Iraq by Aug. 31.

In interviews with CBS’ “Face the Nation” and CNN’s “State of the Union,” Odierno said it may take several years before America can determine if the war was a success.

“A strong democratic Iraq will bring stability to the Middle East, and if we see Iraq that’s moving toward that, two, three, five years from now, I think we can call our operations a success,” he

Greatness Busch highly touted after three victories at Bristol

Ageless wonder

BRISTOL, Tenn. — As Kyle Busch crossed the finish line for a three-race sweep, his crew quickly credited the driver for his role in the record-setting moment.

“We are in the presence of greatness,” a team member said over the radio.

Indeed, they were.

Busch completed 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. He hoisted a broom in Victory Lane, where he made his third visit in four days.

“I’ve been trying to do this since I got to NASCAR,” said Busch, who has tried for a threerace 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.”

Busch 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.

“He’s pretty good,” Joe Gibbs Racing president J.D. Gibbs said.

“To do all three of those back-toback was a big deal.”

At 82, Scully will return to Dodgers

BY BETH HARRIS

BY JOEDY MCCREARY

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Vin Scully said Sunday he’ll return to the broadcast booth to call Los Angeles Dodgers games next year for his 62nd season because “when push came to shove, I just did not want to leave.”

The 82year-old Hall of Famer, whose nearly 61 years of service make him the longest tenured broadcaster SCULLY in sports history, said he made the decision with the blessing of his wife, Sandy, and his five children.

“With continued health, we’ll do next year,” he said.

He has said that while he loves the job he’s had with the team since 1950, when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, it’s increasingly hard to be away from his wife of 36 years.

“My wife understood, God bless her,” Scully said in the press box named for him at Dodger Stadium before a day game against the Cincinnati Reds. “She said, `You love it, do it,’ and so I love it and I’m going to do it.”

Scully will continue calling all Dodgers home games and road games against NL West and AL West opponents.

He calls all nine innings of the team’s television broadcasts, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio.

He works alone on the air and long ago reduced his travel schedule to avoid calling games east of the Rockies.

“I’m just going to try to do the best I can, certainly for next year,” he said. “Please don’t ask me anything about after next year. I’m lucky to look for tomorrow morning.”

In March, Scully was briefly hospitalized after falling and hitting his head at home.

Scully said he is in good health and still gets excited about describing the action on the field.

“The love of the game still produces goose bumps. That might be my thermometer,” he said. “Every time there’s a good play, the other night when the kid at second base threw the ball to first behind his back, I had goose bumps like it was the first big league game I’d ever seen.

“I went home thinking, `Holy mackerel, it’s still deep inside of me, this love for the game.’ I’m so blessed.”

New challenge Causby stuns Salisbury by leaving for North Hills

BY RONNIE GALLAGHER rgallagher@salisburypost.com

Jason Causby is leaving Salisbury High School’s talented basketball program and has accepted the head coaching job at North Hills Christian School.

It’s a stunning development that Causby would leave a team that has made it to a 2A sectional final four straight years and has a group returning for the 2010-2011 season that could

go much deeper in the playoffs.

“What happened is not what you want,” Salisbury athletics director Joe Pinyan said. “But your biggest concern is the kids who are playing and to find somebody who will fit these kids and make the situation continue to roll.”

In six years, Causby turned the Hornets into an annual 2A contender, even being ranked No. 1 in the state during a 28-2 season in 2008-09. He leaves with a record of 108-55.

But Causby quickly points out this

move is not as much about basketball as it his family.

All three of his children, Jaysa, Grey and Griggs, ranging in age from 6 months to 6 years, are in the school’s elementary and child care programs. In fact, he was a student at North Hills when he was in elementary school.

Carolina blues Offseason moves not helping passing woes

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — After Jake Delhomme’s meltdown last season, the Carolina Panthers took drastic measures determined to turn around the NFL’s 27th-ranked passing offense.

Delhomme, a seven-year starter who led Carolina to its only Super Bowl, was cut despite still being owed $12.7 million. Matt Moore was promoted to starter after a solid finish to last season, and the Panthers took Jimmy Clausen in the second round of the draft.

The Panthers drafted two receivers in the third round, didn’t re-sign starter Muhsin Muhammad, then shook up their offseason workout program to spend extra time on the passing game.

After all that, it’s hard to imagine the Panthers’ passing game could look any worse halfway through the preseason.

“It’s definitely fixable,” left tackle Jordan Gross insisted. “It’s been widely known that we have a young team.

We’ve got a lot of new faces in the receivers and a new guy slinging the ball and I don’t think it’s all going to come together overnight.”

Coach John Fox was doing all he could late Saturday night to mimic a political operative and try to put a positive spin on the Carolina’s 9-3 loss to the New York Jets.

Moore and Clausen are still learning, he said. The Panthers didn’t game plan and faced a lot of blitzing. The Jets had the top defense in the league last season. Top receiver Steve Smith (broken arm) is still sidelined.

But it’s hard to ignore just how bad the Panthers have looked in failing to score an offensive touchdown in two preseason losses. From overthrown passes to poor protection to drops by a myriad of underperforming receivers, it’s been brutal to watch with plenty of

GREENSBORO — Many players came to the Wyndham Championship for a push into the PGA Tour’s playoffs.

Not Arjun Atwal. He was playing for his spot on tour.

Atwal won by a stroke Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club, becoming the first Monday qualifier to ATWAL win on the tour in 24 years.

After leading or sharing the lead after each of the first three rounds, Atwal shot a 3under 67 in the final round. He finished at 20-under 260 and earned $918,000 — or, more than double the amount he previously earned this year, the reason why his future on tour had been in jeopardy.

“I told my caddie, ’We’ve got nothing to lose this week.

Just go out there and try and win it,”’ Atwal said. “Guys are going to be out there trying to secure their FedEx Cup spots or whatever. We’ve got nothing. I don’t have a card. I don’t have anything. Just go out there and free-wheel it, and that’s what I did this week.”

He’s the first Indian-born player to win on tour and the first to win both the qualifier and the tournament that follows since Fred Wadsworth at the 1986 Southern Open.

David Toms (64) was 19 under. John Mallinger and Michael Sim shot 62s to match John Rollins (65) and Justin Leonard (65) at 18 under.

For a few dizzying moments late in a low-scoring day, seven players shared the lead at 18 under.

Atwal, who carried a threestroke lead into the final round, was at 19 under for most of the day but bogeyed the par-3 12th a few minutes before Lucas Glover bogeyed 14 and Toms, Rollins and Leonard all birdied No. 16.

“It just kept changing,” Atwal said. “Everybody’s tied for the lead at a certain point.”

Atwal reclaimed the lead with a birdie on No. 14, Leonard birdied No. 17 and Toms birdied No. 18 to join them at 19 under. Leonard dropped back a stroke after running into trouble on 18, while Atwal still had three holes to play — giving him more than enough chances to settle things himself.

Atwal made his move on the par-3 16th, plopping his tee shot 6 feet from the flagstick and sinking his birdie putt to move to 20 under.

He followed that with consecutive pars, sinking a 7-foot putt on No. 18 before dropping his putter and extending his arms upward in jubilation after closing out his first tour victory.

SPORTS DIGEST

Sweet Lou says he’s had enough Associated Press

CHICAGO — Lou Piniella’s long and colorful career has spanned 48 years, from an aggressive outfielder with a sharp batting eye to a successful manager whose highlightreel base-throwing tantrums sometimes overshadowed his baseball acumen.

His family, from his relatives to his teammates and players, always has come first.

And that’s why the leader of the Chicago Cubs decided to step down after Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Braves — he wants to spend more time with his ailing mother.

“My mom needs me home and that’s where I’m going,” Piniella said before one last game in the dugout.

Piniella said last month he planned to retire at the end of the season and reiterated his plans just Saturday. But he missed four games in August to be with his mom in Florida and decided this weekend his divided attention wasn’t helping anyone.

“She hasn’t gotten any better since I’ve been here,” he said. “She’s had a couple oth-

er complications, and rather than continue to go home, come back, it’s not fair to the team, it’s not fair to the players. So the best thing is just to step down and go home and take care of my mother.”

The surprising announcement — made in a team handout Sunday morning after Piniella had repeatedly insisted he would finish the season — led to a memorable scene at Wrigley Field, when Piniella brought the lineup card and greeted another retiring manager who’s had a great run — Bobby Cox. And Cox empathized with his counterpart.

“It’s in your blood that long, but Lou’s mom is in ill health,” Cox said before the game. “It’s a sad day for me because I kept on thinking that Lou would be back, not here but somewhere else.”

Piniella, who turns 67 on Saturday, and Cox shook hands at the plate, hugged each other and exchanged back slaps as Piniella’s No. 41 was posted on scoreboard.

Cox was announced to the crowd and took his cap off and waved it to the fans.

the days of Lou piniella’s famous tirades with umpires appear to be over.

Then the public address announcer ran down Piniella’s achievements as he stood at the plate, and scattered cheers of “Louuu” could be heard throughout the crowd.

After Piniella and Cox posed for a picture with the umpires, the managers hugged each other again.

Piniella then headed to the dugout as the cheers got louder, took off his cap, waved it to the crowd and then began to clap for the fans.

Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager, getting the nod over bench coach Alan Tram-

mell, who was thought to have been a candidate to succeed Piniella next season. But general manager Jim Hendry said Trammell was not going to be considered for the job, so Quade got the nod to finish out the season.

Piniella met with his team to let them know he was leaving and it was very emotional, despite the Cubs’ terribly disappointing season — two years after they had the best record in the NL. “I wish we would’ve played better for him,” reliever Sean Marshall said.

Clemson’s Bowers trying to handle father’s death

Federer beats Fish Associated Press

Associated Press

The college notebook ...

CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson defensive end Da’Quan Bowers still isn’t sure how he’ll handle football this fall without the dad who rarely missed a snap.

But Bowers said Sunday he knows he’ll play each down for his father, Dennis, who died suddenly earlier this month. The Tigers junior says he will also lean on his coaches and teammates to help him through a season he hopes will honor his dad’s memory.

Bowers had already entered summer camp with heavy expectations. He was considered the country’s best prospect by some recruiting services in 2008 when he signed with Clemson. However, Bowers managed just four sacks his first two seasons and has not lived up to his ultra-hyped high school play.

Bowers returned to practice Thursday after an extended break for his father’s funeral.

PICK SIX One bad season can put a coach in danger of being fired, and these guys are in a precarious position entering this season.

Six coaches who really need some wins. You’ll notice a distinctly Big Ten flavor.

Rich Rodriguez, Michigan.

No surprise here. Rodriguez has lost 16 games in two seasons with the Wolverines AND he’s gotten the program in trouble with the NCAA. Oh yeah, and he’s now working for an athletic director who did not hire him. But Michigan does not hastily fire coaches. Eight victories and a bowl game should buy Coach Rod another year. A losing record will almost certainly finish him in Ann Arbor.

Dan Hawkins, Colorado.

A hefty buyout — about $3 million reportedly —

probably kept Hawkins in Boulder for a fifth season after the Buffaloes went 39 in 2009. He’s been to one bowl game in four season and has yet to have a winning record. He was in a tough spot when he took over following Gary Barnett’s messy departure, but there have been few signs of progress. Unfortunately for Hawk, the schedule does him no favors (at California, Hawaii, Georgia, at Oklahoma and at Nebraska).

Ron Zook, Illinois.

Since taking the Illini to the Rose Bowl in 2007, Zook has won eight games. He cleaned out his coordinators after last season, bringing in Paul Petrino (Bobby’s brother) to run the offense and Vin Koenning (from Kansas State) to handle the defense.

Bill Lynch, Indiana.

Lynch stepped into the toughest of situations, taking over the program after Terry Hoeppner’s death in 2007. He took the Hoosiers to a bowl that season, but has had two losing seasons since.

Tim Brewster, Minnesota.

He came to Minneapolis and energetically tried to rally support for a program that has been mostly mediocre for a while. He won one game his first season, bounced back with eight his second — helped by a weak schedule — and fell off to six last year.

With a fancy new stadium to fill, the university is unlikely to swallow another clunker.

Ralph Friedgen, Maryland.

The Fridge was 31-8 in his first three seasons at Maryland, but the Terps haven’t been the same since and they crashed to 210 last year. Offensive coordinator James Franklin already has been tapped as Friedgen’s successor in 2012, but that plan could go out the window if Maryland falters again.

CAUSBY FROM 1B said. “It all came together really quickly. It wasn’t something I sought out. It sought me out.”

Causby had conducted a basketball camp at the school this summer.

He was informed by headmaster Matt Mitchell that not only was the boys basketball job open but also a special education position. Causby has a masters in special education.

He said he talked to Salisbury principal Windsor Eagle about the move and now he has left the Hornets to become a North Hills Eagle.

“I see a lot of similarities between (Mitchell) and Dr. Eagle as far as work ethic,” said Causby who was actually on the North Hills school

that. You hate to see a grown man kind of tear up like that, it just shows his heart for winning and his drive for baseball and his family.”

Entering Sunday’s game, Piniella’s overall record was 1,835-1,712 (.517). He trails only Tony La Russa, Cox and Joe Torre in victories among active managers.

Piniella’s record with the Cubs was 316-292. Under the mellowed skipper, Chicago won consecutive NL Central titles in 2007-08, but missed the playoffs last year and slipped back even further this season.

private Scully told a gathering of media that he was embarrassed by the attention.

“This is the last thing that I wanted,” he said. “I was hoping and I think the Dodgers were it would be a little line in the note sheet before the game and that would be the end of it.”

Former Dodger and current team broadcaster Rick Monday heard the news on the radio as he was driving to the stadium.

“It was a lot like being a kid in a neighborhood and you’re kicking on the door asking Vinny’s wife Sandy: `Can Vinny come out and play again?”’ he said. “And we’re all delighted that he’s going to come out and play next year. In my life, Vin Scully has always been Dodger baseball.”

It’s the same for generations of Angelenos for whom Scully’s famously soothing voice has defined summer in the city.

“I’m as thrilled as our fans that Vin will be returning,” team owner Frank McCourt said in a statement. “He is not only the greatest broadcaster of all time, but also a wonderful friend.”

Many of Delhomme’s 18 interceptions last season came on overthrown passes, and it looked like a 2009 rerun when Moore airmailed a pass for rookie Brandon LaFell on Carolina’s first possession Saturday night.

Jim Leonhard acted like a center fielder in picking it off.

Then came drops by LaFell and Kenny Moore, while Dwayne Jarrett couldn’t get open. Armanti Edwards, being converted from a college quarterback, looks overwhelmed as a receiver and punt returner.

Perhaps the most embarrassing part of the night was the Jets yanked their starters early in the second quarter, and the Panthers’ first unit failed to pick up a first down in four possessions against the Jets’ reserves.

“I don’t know if surprised is the word,” Moore said of the slow progression of the passing game. “All I know is we need to keep working and there are plays there to be made and we know that, and we’re capable of making them.”

Moore was 6 of 17 for 57 yards and a passer rating of 21.0. There might be a quarterback controversy if Clausen had been halfway de-

board last year. “I believe in the vision of the school.”

• But he also feels strongly about the students he’s leaving at Salisbury.

“This is the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make in my life,” he said.

“My players won’t fully understand my decision. Hopefully, they will — and how much they mean to me.”

Salisbury is expected to be a state championship contender this season.

Not only is Central Carolina Conference player of the year Darien Rankin returning, but so is a potential front line of 6-foot-8 Tony Nunn, 6-7 Alex Weant and 6-7 Tyler Petty.

Moore, who closed last season 4-1 as a starter, has thrown for 89 yards and has a passer rating of 34.9 in two preseason games. Clausen, though, has two interceptions and a passer rating of 35.0.

The Panthers have managed three field goals in 28 offensive possessions against the Ravens and Jets.

“You have to deliver the ball and catch the ball. We didn’t do that as well as we needed to and it’s something we’ll continue to work on,” Fox said. “We saw a wide variety of different pressures (Saturday) with two relatively young quarterbacks.”

After giving up seven sacks against Baltimore, the offensive line was better against the Jets — although the Panthers can’t seem to find a backup center who can snap out of the shotgun.

The receivers are another story.

The Panthers have been seemingly trying to find a capable No. 2 receiver for years. Smith is expected to be ready for the regular season.

Nothing changed Saturday night. Kenny Moore’s 26-yard catch was Carolina’s longest play from scrimmage.

“There are plays that should have been made and we didn’t make them, myself included,” Matt Moore said.

“I missed a couple things and those are just things that we need to learn from and get better.”

guys can do it with or without me. I was a small piece to the puzzle.”

• Causby has the same goals now, just at a small private school.

North Hills is a member of the Mid-State Athletic Christian Conference but changes are coming under Causby.

This year, he’ll have two varsity teams, one that will continue in the Mid-State, and another that will be basically a regional team, playing the likes of Fork Union.

In the 2011-12 season, that varsity team will join the Southern Piedmont Athletic Association, which includes United Faith, Victory Christian, Gaston Day and Davidson Day. He wants a rigorous schedule this season in preparation for that. He said Fork Union’s Fletcher Arritt has already said he’d drop by for a game

For the first time, the world’s second-ranked player was pushed to the limit. Fish kept it as close as could be, dropping the final set after the match’s only service break.

Federer ended a streak of three straight losses in tournament finals, winning his first Masters event since Cincinnati last year.

Danica Patrick expected to run NASCAR again in 2011 Associated Press

Nationwide Chase would be better than nothing

BY SCOTT ADAMSON Scripps Howard News Service

For those of you who think Nationwide Series drivers get the shaft because Sprint Cup regulars have hijacked the circuit, help could be on the way.

Sort of.

ESPN.com reported earlier this week that NASCAR officials are considering implementing a “Chase” format to the support series — one that would exclude most Cup drivers. While nothing is official and, in fact, hasn’t even gone beyond the pondering stage, one idea would mean the top 35 Cup drivers would have their Nationwide points either limited or eliminated.

NASCAR president Mike Helton has already met with a group of Nationwide reps to discuss such issues.

The folks who make their living in NASCAR’s AAA series have long complained about the major leaguers stepping down and stealing their thunder. The complaints have grown louder in recent years, especially considering victory lane is dominated by men who are already punching the clock in Cup 36 times a year.

The Nationwide title has gone to a Cup standout the past four seasons, and it’ll be a Cup standout that takes the crown again this year.

Currently Brad Keselowski is far in front in the standings, followed by Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch.

It’s a rarity, indeed, when a Cup regular doesn’t win a Nationwide race these days.

Still, I’m not sure what a Nationwide “Chase” would really accomplish, other than eliminate guys like Keselowski, Ed-

wards or Busch from winning the title.

NASCAR CEO Brian France, who wants desperately to see attendance rise again at stock car venues, realizes Cup competitors are big draws at Nationwide events.

While it’s a good standalone series that grooms stars of the future, fans are still more likely to spend big bucks on events that feature stars of the present.

To that end, I doubt there’ll ever come a time when Cup drivers are banned from racing on Saturdays.

And with that being the case, Cup drivers will continue to win on Saturdays. It might not be for points, but it won’t stop celebrations in victory lane.

Thus, the Nationwide Chase would, in a way, be a farce. You might have a top 10 that features drivers with zero wins in the series. And when the Chase is over, one Nationwide regular will hold up the trophy — even though he’s holding up a trophy only because the true champion was ineligible.

I’m not sure how such a plan would be received by the Nationwide drivers themselves. I’m fairly confident the pilots would like to see a peer who makes the bulk of his living in Nationwide actually win the title that bears the series’ name, but then again it would be a hollow achievement.

The only good solution would be to confine Nationwide races to Nationwide drivers, but we already know that’s not going to happen.

So if you look at it that way, a Chase confined to support series drivers only is better than nothing.

But not much.

Kyle Busch (18) leads Brad Keselowski (12), the current Nationwide points leader.

BRISTOL, Tenn. — JR Motorsports expects to field a Nationwide Series car next season for Danica Patrick.

JRM co-owner Kelley Earnhardt said Friday she’s waiting for the IndyCar schedule to be released to determine how many races Patrick will drive in NASCAR. She’s running a 13-race schedule this year for JRM that is built around her IndyCar commitments.

Patrick has a career-best finish of 24th at Chicago last month through her six races so far. Her average finish is 30.5.

“I think she’s definitely had a difficult year getting used to these cars from where she’s came from,” Earnhardt said.

“I think still everyone has to keep in check that she’s ran six Nationwide races and pretty much six stock car races in her career. She’s still very fresh and new at this and still has a lot to learn about the way these cars work.”

Earnhardt also said her brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr., will run between four and six Nationwide Series races next season in the No. 7 Chevrolet that Patrick drives. Josh Wise is another candidate to fill that seat when Patrick is not racing.

“Josh has done very well for us and kept the car in the top 20 of the owner’s points

BUSCH FroM 1B ter another round in 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 moments later, taking the microphone and earning a thunderous cheer by saying, “I’m Brad Keselowski ...

Kyle Busch is (a--).”

There was almost no chance of an on-track altercation, though, as the 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.”

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.”

Kyle Busch celebrates in victory lane after winning the irwin tools Night race.

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 spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

But McMurray said he’s not focused on making the Chase field. 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.

“We’ve got two races to go, two good race tracks,” Bowyer said. “I love Atlanta, run well there, and I love Richmond, run well there.

With any luck at all, we’ll be in this thing.”

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.

The same arena where you have previously experienced failure may be the one that will produce the largest rewards for you in the year ahead. A change of venue might not be necessary, but possessing enough tenacity to win will be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Much progress and many accomplishments can be achieved when you work shoulder to shoulder with others. Collectively you’ll be able to come up with numerous bright ideas that’ll really work.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A rare opportunity could arise, giving you a chance to make a friend out of someone within your field who, up until now, has been a mere acquaintance.

Each will have much to other the other.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — With your natural-born tenacity, this can be a day full of possibility and potential. If you have the desire and the will, you’ll be able to get a lot done.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Certain ideas you come up with could be ingenious and progressive, as well as logical. You merely have to direct your mental efforts to projects that require original thinking.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Being able to make the most out of what you have at hand could be an exciting experience. Instead of feeling shortchanged, you’ll take what you have and turn it into something powerful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Associates will appreciate you being in charge because you’ll have a way of managing things in a way that will be best for everybody concerned, without upsetting anyone.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Try to work in an environment where you’ll be able to be your own person, because that’s when you’ll be the most effective. You’ll be less potent working in close proximity with others.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Experiencing a compelling drive to broaden the base from which you get ideas, you are likely to want to mingle with as many different types of people as you can. It should be an interesting day.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you can, be less fixed in your outlook when it comes to setting your ambitions or objective, and you’ll discover multiple ways to fulfill them.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your fertile imagination is one of your best assets, so don’t hesitate to explore all of the many unusual ideas you may come up with. Something great could come out of more than one of them.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — There will be no hesitation on your part to help work on ways for someone else to get what s/he wants.

You’ll consider that your time, talent and effort will be well spent.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Real progress can start to be made when and if you put yourself in the other guy/gal’s shoes, because that’s when you’ll finally get a real understanding of that individual’s thinking and needs.

Must quarter century of exercise be halted? The deceptive duck deceived declarer Dear Dr. Gott: I would like to know more about tricuspid regurgitation. I’ve been exercising for more than 25 years and just learned I have this condition. It has been called mild. I see my specialist later this month but don’t know how to exercise with the diagnosis.

Dear Reader: Tricuspid regurgitation, also known as DR. PETER insufficiency, GOTT occurs when this particular valve in the heart fails to close properly. This causes blood to flow backward into the right atrium (upper-heart chamber) when the right ventricle (lower-heart chamber) contracts.

There are several reasons this may occur, including but not limited to injury to the right ventricle, radiation therapy, carcinoid tumors, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic fever, Marfan syndrome and, in the presence of Ebstein’s anomaly, a congenital heart disorder.

Without pulmonary hypertension, there may be no symptoms at all. When pulmonary hypertension and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation occur together, patients may experience fatigue, pulsing of the neck veins, decreased urinary output, weakness, symptoms of right-sided heart failure and edema of the feet, ankles and stomach.

A physician can make a diagnosis if he or she feels a pulse over the liver or swelling of the liver and

spleen, when a murmur or abnormal sounds are heard through a stethoscope. A physician may choose to order a chest X-ray, EKG or echocardiogram to correctly diagnose the disorder. Laboratory testing may reflect abnormal liver function and hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice).

Some medications may cause symptoms and include those for Parkinson’s disease, migraine headaches and obesity.

Mild cases may not require any treatment at all. More advanced cases may require brief hospitalization to verify the diagnosis and bring symptoms under control. Any underlying conditions would be addressed during the hospitalization. Should surgery be required, it may include repair or replacement of the valve.

Patients should reduce their salt intake and may find relief by elevating the head of their beds to combat feelings of shortness of breath. If you haven’t already, I recommend you engage the services of a cardiologist and rely on his or her judgment when it comes to how much exercise you should undertake. I am unaware of any other medical conditions you might have and cannot make that decision.

To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Coronary Artery Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an

Dear Dr. Gott: I’m 81 years young, actively involved with work, home and yard. As I have aged, I have “met Arthur” in various parts of my body. Of tremendous help to me with knee, shoulder and back problems is massaging centrifugeextracted virgin coconut oil into the areas of pain. The underlying cause will not be cured but the pains (that I assume are caused by inflammation from arthritis) can be lessened.

The use of coconut oil has helped my sister, two brothersin-law, nephew and various others. One brother-in-law even uses it to cook with as well.

Dear Reader: This material is extracted from wet-milled coconut milk that retains its flavor and aroma. The cost appears a little off-putting for me at about $65 per gallon and is high in saturated fats, but if it works to keep your arthritis at bay, I am sure it is well worth it. And I’ll bet you smell mighty good, too! Another alternative is rubbing castor oil onto the affected joints. This is just as safe, but has the added benefit of being less expensive.

Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD.com.

Everyone except a beginner readily recognizes the Bath Coup. This was sonamed because it was first executed in Bath, England, during the days of whist.

You have A-J-x of a suit in your hand opposite low cards in the dummy. Your left-hand opponent leads the king, which you duck, hoping he will play the suit again, away from his queen into your ace-jack tenace. It is a useful play that has its time and place, but is that the right approach in this deal?

You are in six no-trump.

West leads the spade king.

What would be your plan?

North overbid slightly by jumping to six no-trump instead of inviting a slam by responding four no-trump.

Of course, you would have bid six anyway.

When the deal was originally played, South tried the Bath Coup, ducking the first trick. West, though, trusting his partner’s spade-two signal, shifted to a heart. Declar-

er won in his hand, unblocked the king-jack of clubs, crossed to dummy with a heart, and cashed the three club winners. He discarded a diamond and a spade, then stopped. He had to pitch a second diamond. If he parted with the four and three, he could take only one diamond finesse. Or if he unblocked the jack or queen, East could cover dummy’s 10 — down one.

Let’s go back to trick one.

If the diamond finesse is losing, the contract is unmakable. But if it is winning, you can take one spade, three hearts, three diamonds and five clubs. So, win the first trick, unblock your two clubs, cross to dummy with a heart, and cash the clubs, discarding two spades and one diamond. Then run the diamond 10. When the finesse works, repeat it and claim.

Giants land Ross MIAMI (AP) — Fading from the playoff race, the Florida Marlins began their latest paring of payroll Sunday when starting outfielder Cody Ross was awarded to the San Francisco Giants on a waiver claim.

Ross will give the Giants more depth for the final weeks of the playoff race. The Marlins will begin looking toward next year, and they plan to recall Cameron Maybin on Tuesday from Triple-A New Orleans for a late-season tryout in center field.

“Our playoff hopes have dimmed a bit, and we have to be realistic about that,” Florida president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said. “You can characterize it as whatever you want — a white flag, or anything like that.

We’re realistic about where we are.”

The move came shortly after the Marlins lost to Houston 2-1 to slip to 62-61.

Ross joined the Marlins in 2006 and became a favorite with fans and teammates. The decision by management left second baseman Dan Uggla red-eyed at his locker.

“Do I agree with it? No,” Uggla said.

“There’s a long shot for us to get into this thing, and we’re going to need him to do it, but they made their decision. This city is going to miss him.”

USA edges Spain MADRID (AP) — Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim called for a switch to his trademark “Or86 ange” 2-3 zone with USA 85 the United States Spain clinging to a onepoint lead.

Kevin Durant did the rest, blocking shots by Ricky Rubio and Rudy Fernandez in the final seconds in the Americans’ 86-85 victory over Spain on Sunday in a warmup game for the world championships.

“Jim Boeheim said, `Let’s go orange,”’ U.S. head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “So we did. It was his suggestion and our guys did a good job with that.”

Durant led the United States with 25 points.

The decision to go to the zone defense for the last play caught Spain off-guard after Derrick Rose put the Americans ahead with two free throws.

“I just wanted to cover as much ground as I could and help my teammates,” said Durant, who also had 10 rebounds. “I just didn’t want to foul on a 3-pointer so I stayed down and, luckily, game over.”

The United States rallied after Spain — 13 points behind after three quarters — took a one-point lead on Juan Carlos Navarro’s three-point play with 27 seconds left.

“It was one of those games that was a learning experience for us and I think we made key plays down the stretch,” Durant said. “We also played as a team and stuck through

tough times.”

Navarro scored 20 points in the first game between the teams since the Americans won the 2008 Olympic final. It was the first loss in nine games for Spain, the defending world champion. The world championships begin Saturday in Turkey.

Spain took the lead for the first time with 90 seconds to play. Rubio’s stutter step into the lane drew attention and allowed the teen point guard to feed Felipe Reyes for an easy layup and an 82-80 lead.

But Durant answered before Rose got past Rubio and avoided Marc Gasol’s block to ROSE score with a onehanded shot that put the U.S. up 84-82 with 33 seconds to play.

“We made one more play than they did and that’s why we won,” Krzyzewski said.

Rose finished with 13 points, and Lamar Odom had 12 points and nine rebounds for the United States, 3-0 on its exhibition tour.

“I thought ‘I’ve got to hit them,”’ Rose said about his winning free throws. “Over here, people are going to remember me for this.”

The U.S. travels to Athens on Monday to play Greece in its final warmup before the championships.

“It was a great challenge and we should take this and run with it,” Rose said.

Favre in for four snaps SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brett Favre completed one pass and also got clobbered on a sack that lost Min49ers 15 nesota 10 yards.

Vikings 10 Favre’s highly anticipated first game back with the Vikings lasted all of four unspectacular plays and one series in a 15-10 loss to the 49ers in a nationally televised preseason game Sunday at Candlestick Park, the only NFL show of the night.

Favre completed a 13-yard pass to Adrian Peterson on his first play from scrimmage but was sacked by Pro Bowl linebacker Patrick Willis two plays later and the Vikings wound up punting.

The 40-year-old quarterback took the field just four days after FAVRE his first training camp practice of the year. He decided to return for a 20th season and make yet another run at a Super Bowl title.

It’s hard to make much of the small sampling. Not that Favre’s numbers mattered to the Vikings, just thrilled to have him back.

Alex Smith, Favre’s 49ers counterpart, went 9 of 13 for 88 yards in a solid first half. Willis had four tackles playing only nine snaps.

After that single series, Favre headed to the bench and gave way to backup Tarvaris Jackson — who had been in line to be the starter before Jared Allen, Ryan Longwell and Steve Hutchinson flew to Mississippi early last week to recruit Favre back to the Twin Cities. Favre, sporting a 5-o’clock shadow peppered with gray, could be seen laughing on the sideline in the second half.

Smith bounced back a week after stumbling through a subpar outing in which he completed 3 of 9 passes for 37 yards and only two first downs in a win at Indianapolis. David Carr and Nate Davis rallied the Niners to 34 straight points in the 37-17 victory.

He made do for a 49ers offense missing three of its biggest stars: receiver Michael Crabtree, tight end Vernon Davis and running back Frank Gore.

“We just came out against the No. 1 rush defense in the NFL and marched it down the field,” Smith

said. “We were moving the chains and getting a bunch of third-down conversions and just took it down the field methodically.”

Smith completed his first four passes for 48 yards and 5 of his first six on the Niners’ opening drive, including a 24-yard strike to backup tight end Delanie Walker that set up a 4-yard scoring run by rookie Anthony Dixon.

After all the drama that surrounds Favre each offseason — will he or won’t he really retire? — he’s back in his No. 4 jersey and told his teammates he’s as committed to this as ever.

And why not keep going?

Favre is coming off a year in which he threw for 4,202 yards and 33 touchdowns and established career highs for completion rate (68.4), quarterback rating (107.2) and fewest interceptions (seven).

He was booed by the crowd Sunday when running onto the field for the first time midway through the first quarter. Favre has been the Niners’ nemesis for years.

In late September last year, Favre hit Greg Lewis on a 32-yard touchdown with 2 seconds left as the Vikings stunned San Francisco 27-24 in Minneapolis. That was the first of six straight road losses — five in a row by a combined 19 points — for the 49ers that helped cost them a playoff trip and a winning season.

Davis, San Francisco’s No. 3 QB and fifth-round pick last year, completed a pretty 60-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr. in the third quarter with his foot planted at the goal line when he released the ball. The pass set up Joe Nedney’s 28-yard field goal. Davis later had an 18-yard completion to Nate Byham.

Longwell kicked a 40-yard field goal in the second quarter for the Vikings’ first points. Minnesota rookie quarterback Joe Webb broke loose up the middle for a 48-yard TD run with 1:54 to play, then Webb was sacked by Derek Walker in the end zone for a safety on the final play.

Former Stanford star and Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart got his first of his four carries for Minnesota midway through the second quarter, a 3-yard gain. This marked the rookie’s first game back in the Bay Area since the Vikings selected him at No. 51 in the second round of this year’s draft.

Haynesworth vs. Shanahan goes OT WASHINGTON (AP) — Albert Haynesworth vs. Mike Shanahan.

This one’s going into overtime.

The conflict between two strong wills — the unyielding coach and the player with the $100 million contract — escalated this weekend when Haynesworth ex- HAYNESWORTH pressed defiant frustration at being repeatedly singled out by the coach. Shanahan responded by saying things aren’t going to change.

Haynesworth fired first, breaking a week of silence after Saturday night’s 23-3 loss to the Baltimore

Ravens. The two-time All-Pro defensive lineman essentially accused Shanahan of mischaracterizing the reason Haynesworth couldn’t practice last week. Haynesworth suggested Shanahan did it to make the Redskins organization “look good” and to make him “look bad” because he didn’t participate in the offseason conditioning program.

Shanahan last week gave a variety of reasons why Haynesworth didn’t practice for 21/2 days, eventually chalking it up to “more of a headache than anything else.” Haynesworth said Shanahan “left out a whole lot of stuff” but didn’t say what. Multiple reports said Sunday that Haynesworth was suffering from rhabdomyolysis, a muscular condition whose symptoms included weakened, stiff or aching muscles.
