LOOK WHAT I MADE!

Chief: Officer who shot at suspect did right thing No one injured in East Spencer incident BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

EAST SPENCER — The town’s police chief says an officer did the right thing when she shot at a man she thought was armed and dangerous Wednesday night. Chief Floyd Baldo said the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office and State Bureau of Investigation have been notified of the incident, which occurred during a traffic stop on South Long Street. But he said Officer Cassandra Rankin remains on active duty and wouldn’t be placed on administrative duty unless the SBI stepped in to investigate, and that typically only happens when someone is injured. The man Rankin shot at — who was holding a cell phone and not a gun as Rankin thought RANKIN — was not injured. Latoya Bost called 911 around 9 p.m. Wednesday and said she was driving on Long Street and her ex-boyfriend, Michael Angelo McLean, was chasing her in his vehicle. Rankin stopped both vehicles, and McLean got out of his car. Rankin ordered McLean to get back into the car. He did, but got back out a few seconds later.

Waterwork ARTventures a way for students to show their creative side BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

yler Frick said his 6-year-old daughter Emily recently told him she prays every night to “do better and better at art.” “Emily is all into art,” he said. “She talks about it all the time.” Emily and her twin sister, Ellison, were in their own version of heaven Thursday evening as they roamed the second-floor studios of Waterworks Visual Arts Center during the closing reception of an exhibit of student artwork from Waterworks’ Summer ARTventures.

A Dixonville Cemetery monument should be big enough to capture the attention of passing motorists and draw them into the site for a visit. The monument also should incorporate the documented names of those buried there and somehow pay tribute to the people whose names are not known. The landscaping should bring back natural paths — the kind Dixonville kids used, for example, on their way to and from Lincoln School. Trees need to be reintroduced to the cemetery, and the place should provide places to sit and reflect. These are the kinds of ideas mentioned most often Thursday evening as the Dixonville Cemetery Task Force invited the public to First Calvary Baptist Church for its input on what a cemetery monument should accomplish and how it might be designed. The Salisbury City Council-appointed task force is early in a process that eventually aims to design, raise funds for, install and dedicate a

72-year-old facing more charges BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury woman out on bond and facing charges of molesting a 7-year-old boy is back in jail after authorities say she threatened to kill the boy and his mother and threw a brick at them.

Juanita Loraine Byars, 72, of 3011 Airport Road, was charged Wednesday night with misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon and intimidating or interfering with a witness. She remained in the Rowan County jail Thursday under $20,000 bond. According to the Rowan County

Sheriff’s Office, the boy, his mother and his grandfather drove to his grandfather’s home to get the man’s medication. The mother went inside with her father and told the boy to stay in the car. The woman told authorities that

Scam tries to get ‘government taxes’ sent to claim winnings BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A new scam has been discovered in Salisbury, this one offering $125,000 if the recipient sends $3,875 of “government taxes” through Western Union. Police say the scam is hardly new, though, and they often receive reports of similar scams. The scam, which is a classified as a sweepstakes or counterfeit check scam, came from Canada to the Salisbury couple who received a letter claiming a $125,000 lottery prize and in-

Few taking advantage of online sales tax amnesty bid times settled only in court, she said. Courts or Congress may be where a growing dispute over whether states can collect taxes from Internet sales is settled. As states with recession-battered budgets look for ways to increase tax revenues, four have adopted routes around a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that states can’t force businesses to collect sales taxes if they lack a physical presence within that state. States also charge their residents a “use tax” for out-of-state purchases, but few consumers pay it. North Carolina, New York and Rhode Island passed laws that make an online retailer responsible for sales tax collections if residents of their states run websites that include advertising links driving business to the retailer. These local affiliates collect a percentage of resulting sales. Colorado’s new online sales tax

Stocks slip back below 10,000 for first time since July NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell Thursday after early gains from a better report on jobless claims ebbed. The Dow Jones industrial average closed below 10,000 for the first time since early July. The Dow lost 74 points, having been up as much as 45 earlier. The market has struggled to hold on to gains in recent trading as many investors remain unconvinced that the economic recovery will hold. Stocks have been on a generally declining trend in August after charging ahead in July. A bevy of poor indicators on the economy, especially weak home sales, has pierced a sense of optimism brought about by a series of strong corporate earnings reports the month before. The Dow has lost ground in five of the past six trading sessions, and has shed 430 points over that time. The market enjoyed a brief reprieve from that malaise early Thursday thanks to an encouraging sign on the job market. The Labor Department reported that first-time claims for jobless benefits fell last week after three straight weekly increases. Now, it’s up to Ben

Bernanke to provide the next clues on the economy. The Federal Reserve chairman is delivering a speech early Friday that investors hope will shed light on how weak the U.S. economy really is and whether the Fed may take more steps to revive it. Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners Inc., said the market wants to see whether “the pulse of the Fed is beating at a fast rate with anxiety over the economy.” The Dow fell 74.25, or 0.7 percent, to 9,985.81. The Dow had traded below 10,000 several times this week, but hadn’t closed below that level since July 6. Broader market barometers also fell. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell 8.11, or 0.8 percent, to 1,047.22, while the Nasdaq fell 22.85, or 1.1 percent, to 2,118.69. First-time claims for unemployment benefits dropped to 473,000 last week, a bigger drop than analysts expected. First-time claims had jumped ominously the week before, going above 500,000 for the first time since November. The latest jobless claims report suggests that hiring remains weak.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The tires of a JetBlue airplane caught fire Thursday during a hard landing in Sacramento that left 15 people with minor injuries and sent passengers down emergency slides to escape the aircraft. Passenger Michelle McDuffie said people onboard felt a thud when the plane touched down about 12:50 p.m. after a flight from Long Beach, but nobody thought there was an emergency until the crew shouted for everyone to exit on the inflatable slides. McDuffie saw the burning tires when she was on the ground. “I thought, ‘Oh I wish I had gotten my bag off.’ But I was just happy that I wasn’t hurt,” said McDuffie, 33, of Mission Viejo. The plane appeared to experience trouble with its brakes, and four tires blew out during the landing, airline spokeswoman Sharon Jones said. The 87 passengers were taken to the terminal on buses, airport spokeswoman Gina Swankie said. The nature of the injuries weren’t immediately avail-

An elderly woman was seen being placed onto a stretcher, complaining of neck pains. Everyone was “able to slide down that slide and walk over to our triage,” Sacramento Fire Department Capt.

sprained ankles caused by the slides, she said. “They’re incredibly fast, and there was no time for the flight attendants to give us any instructions,” Ruppe said.

Billionaire doesn’t have to pay retroactive child support LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury on Thursday rejected a claim by billionaire real estate mogul Donald Bren’s two adult children for $134 million in retroactive child support. The unusual case was a high-stakes contest between one of the nation’s richest men and the children he fathered during a 13-year affair with Jennifer McKay Gold, who brought the lawsuit on behalf of her children when they were minors. Christie Bren, 22, and her brother, David Bren, 18, pursued the case when they became adults. Jurors deliberated two hours before siding with the 78-year-old Irvine Co. chairman, whose attorney argued that no family court would have given the children more than the millions he already paid. Gold, who signed agreements with Donald Bren when the children were born, said they were cheated of the support to which they were entitled. The suit sought $400,000 a month for each of the children in retroactive support from 1988-2002. Their mother testified she received a total of about $3 million for them in that period.

Four contracts were created involving child support each time Gold became pregnant and after the children were born. The accords, beginning in 1988, rose from $3,500 a month to $18,000 a month between 1992 and 2002. BREN Gold said she accepted the terms because Donald Bren promised to have a relationship with the children. But Gold said he ignored the children when they approached him in a restaurant in 2001, and she realized Bren was reneging on his promise.

Donald Bren, who has a penchant for privacy, stepped into the court’s public spotlight to testify that he never loved Gold and never planned to be a parent to the children. He said he provided enough for them to live a privileged life.

’I’m not sure how to tell you this, but the wheels caught fire upon landing and the emergency slides had been deployed,”’ Vanatta said. He ran to a window and saw passengers standing on the runway near the plane, surrounded by fire trucks. “My friend and I were able to rebook to a flight out of Oakland, so we’re driving there now,” he said. Hours after the incident, the empty plane had yet to be towed from the runway. About a dozen passengers lingered in the terminal, waiting for their luggage or snacking on airport food paid for by JetBlue. “Everybody’s been really nice and taking care of each other,” said Ruppe, who was celebrating her birthday. “I just wish that I had worn my tennis shoes.” Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the plane had not caused any delays at the airport.

year. But the bulk of e-commerce sales are transactions between businesses rather than consumer purchases. And online consumer shopping represents about 4 percent of all retail sales in the United States, the Census Bureau reported. Still, New York netted more than $120 million in taxes collected by 30 online retailers since that state’s law took effect in 2008, taxation department spokesman Brad Maione said. Amazon.com Inc. is appealing New York’s law after a trial court judge last year sided with the state. Amazon also is resisting North Carolina tax collectors. In a federal lawsuit filed in Seattle, where it is headquartered, Amazon said North Carolina demanded the names and addresses of buyers and a description of their purchase. Amazon said complying would harm customers who may have bought controversial books or movies.

“By not enforcing sales tax laws, state governments have provided these online retailers with a significant competitive advantage and are subsidizing these retailers’ business,” said Oren Teicher, CEO of the American Booksellers Association, the trade organization for independent stores. But most retailers are likely to believe they’re not responsible for collecting taxes due because of what amounts to online advertising on someone else’s Web site, said Joseph Henchman, the Tax Foundation’s director of state projects. “The danger of this is a state being able to impose its tax law on any company that advertises in the state,” Henchman said. How much is at stake isn’t clear. University of Tennessee researchers said last year that uncollected state and local taxes from online sales could total $8.6 billion this

law requires out-of-state, online retailers to either collect sales tax or send customers an annual notice of how much tax they owe the state. Retailers would also have to report that to the state. Another 13 states including Illinois and Tennessee have considered but not approved similar laws in the past two years, the Washington, D.C.based Tax Foundation said. Hawaii and California lawmakers passed Internet tax collection laws that were vetoed by their governors. Federal legislation introduced in July would allow the 23 states working to streamline sales and use taxes to require that online retailers collect state sales taxes. Supporters say besides increasing state revenues, forcing online retailers to collect sales taxes would even the competition between Internet-only stores and brick-and-mortar shopkeepers.

RALEIGH (AP) — Just over two dozen of the 450 online retailers offered amnesty if they begin collecting North Carolina taxes on Internet sales have taken the offer. In one of the country’s most aggressive efforts to collect sale taxes many retailers don’t believe they owe, the state’s revenue agents already have started auditing the hundreds of companies that didn’t go along. “There are already some Internet retailers who didn’t elect to participate in the program who are under examination,” Revenue Department spokeswoman Beth Stevenson said. “We’re going to prioritize our resources to conduct audits. If a company will not participate in the audit, we will issue summonses for the records needed to do the audit.” That’s the normal process for determining a company’s tax liability, and unresolved disputes are some-

Nine get Green light for new greenway section jail time in theft ring Multiple burglaries spanned 12 counties Nine people indicted last August for a multicounty personal property and firearms theft ring have been sentenced, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office announced. One person, Michael Chad Bowers, was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison. At least 31 of the burglaries were in Rowan County, and 104 in Cabarrus County. The burglaries also extended to Davidson, Stanly, Anson, Union, Montgomery, Moore, Randolph and Vance counties in North Carolina, and York and Marlboro counties in South Carolina. More than 125 firearms were recovered in the case, and $800,000 worth of personal property was believed to be stolen. The sentences follow: • Jason Dennis Braley, of Richfield, sentenced to nine years, four months on April 29; • Jason Michael Ridenhour, of Albemarle, sentenced to three years, 10 months on April 29; • Jaymes Dean Goss Hartis, of Locust, sentenced to three years on May 6; • Justin Mathew Rhodes, of Rockwell, sentenced to two years, five months on May 6; • Tammy Omega Tyner, sentenced to three years, three months on May 12; • Gary Winston Sells, of Albemarle, sentenced to five years, 10 months on Aug. 17; • Billy Eugene Talbert, II, of Albemarle, sentenced to five years, 10 months on Aug. 18; • Tommy Lee Lilly, of Albemarle, sentenced to eight years on Aug. 20; • Michael Chad Bowers, of Albemarle, sentenced to 27 years, two months on Aug. 20.

Restitution was ordered to be equally paid by all defendants and totals $59,861. All defendants will also serve at least three years of supervised probation after serving their sentences. During the August 2009 press conference, Earl Woodham, ATF public information officer, described the cooperation among the law enforcement agencies across the geographically large area as “unprecedented.”

Copper thieves strike another cell phone tower Copper continues to be a hot commodity for thieves in Rowan County, with air-conditioning units being taken from homes and businesses every week. Thieves stole copper wiring from a Verizon Wireless tower, the second of the company’s towers to be targeted in the past two weeks. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, thieves took $2,500 worth of copper wiring and bars from Verizon’s Morris Farm Road tower. The theft was discovered by a Verizon employee Monday. The employee reported that 900 feet of copper wire was stolen, along with three 18-inch copper bars. The following incidents and crimes were also reported around the county this week: • Robin Barber reported that someone broke into her home and took a video camera, laptop computer, $500 cash, two digital cameras, golf clubs and jewelry totaling $2,654. • Cary Hill reported that someone took a KAUF trailer valued at $1,000 from his property. The trailer was entered into the national crime information system. • Carl Bradshaw reported the theft of an airconditioning unit from his Mount Ulla home. The unit is valued at $1,500. • Terry McDuffie reported someone broke into an outbuilding and took a saw, trimmer and hedge trimmer. The property, valued at $265, has been recovered. • Dan Nicholas Park reported that a woman attempted to use a counterfeit $10 bill Monday. The Sheriff’s Office said the woman received the $10 bill in change from another business and did not know it was counterfeit. • Alexander Goodman reported someone stole his 1994 white Buick Century from his home Tuesday. • Leslie Elliott of Salisbury reported that someone broke into her home, taking a television and two chain saws. • Air Flow, Inc., of Greensboro, reported that someone sawed $2,390 worth of drop cords off of four industrial mobile air units in a parking lot.

A local company won the contract to add another section to the city’s greenway system this fall. Salisbury City Council awarded a $429,300 contract to Jarrell Contractors for construction of the Meadowbrook greenway. The new section will add threequarters of a mile, or about 25 percent more paved path, to the greenway system. “I’ve walked every bit of it myself,” said Archie Jarrell, president of Jarrell Contractors. “I’m looking forward to adding this section.” The city will use $500,000 in federal stimulus dollars for the project, which could total $547,000 with engineering fees and other expenses. Additional funding will come from the city’s infrastructure improvement budget. Jarrell Contractors will use local sub-contractors for construction, and all asphalt and stone will come from local vendors, city officials said. The project will use a domestic manufacturer for a new bridge.

Norman: Provide students with a world-class education BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Kay Wright Norman’s passion for education is what led her to run for school board 15 years ago and continues to guide her today. “I have the same desire now as I did when I was elected to the board — to provide students with a world-class education,” she said. “I’m passionate enough to still want to provide teachers, principals and administrators with the kind NORMAN of tools that will give stu-

dents that education.” Norman, who currently holds the West area seat on the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, is seeking re-election. She will face off against Eric Trail and Donna Hogue in the November election. “I feel like I was elected to represent every single child in the community and that’s what I do,” she said. Norman said part of giving students a world-class education is making sure they’re ready for the future.

“We have to prepare our students for a different world; we can’t talk about the work that was,” she said. “The jobs of your parents are not likely to be the jobs that you will have. They won’t exist.” Focusing on increasing the district’s graduation rate is something Norman would like to see the school district continue to work on. “We’ve looked at our dropout rate and I don’t care how good it is, it’s not good enough,” she said. “We must keep students in school and engaged and have them understand they’re important in the community.” Budget concerns are an issue Norman said she plans to continue tackling if re-elected.

Burr, Coble named ‘Taxpayer Heroes’ U.S. Rep. Howard Coble and U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, both Republicans representing North Carolina residents, have each been named as a “Taxpayer Hero” by the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste. Coble received a score of 89 percent in the organization’s 2009 Congressional Ratings for the first session of the COBLE 111th Congress. Burr received a rating of 92 percent. A press release from Coble’s office said the conservative watchdog group praised Coble, who represents the 6th District, for his

fiscal conservatism. “Rep. Howard Coble put the interests of taxpayers ahead of politics by consistently voting to cut wasteful spending, reduce the tax burden, and make government more accountable to taxpayers,” said council President Tom Schatz in the press release. “While far too many members of Congress demonstratBURR ed little regard for the consequences of failing to reduce the record $1.4 trillion deficit and $13 trillion debt, Rep. Coble’s votes give taxpayers hope for the future.” Since 1989, the council has examined roll call votes to

identify which members of Congress are protecting the interests of taxpayers, according to the press release. Its 2009 Congressional Ratings scored 120 votes in the House and 74 votes in the Senate. The council rates members on a 0 to 100 percent scale, the press release said. Members are placed in the following categories: Hostile, 0-19 percent; Unfriendly, 2039 percent; Lukewarm, 40-59 percent; Friendly, 60-79 percent; Taxpayer Hero, 80-99 percent; Taxpayer Super Hero, 100 percent. Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan received a score of 8 percent. U.S. Reps. Larry Kissell (8th District) and Mel Watt (12th District), also Democrats, received scores of 5 percent and 0 percent, respectively.

Project SAFE Neighborhoods Family Day Saturday The J.F. Hurley Family YMCA will host a Project SAFE Neighborhoods Family Day on Saturday. The event is sponsored by the city of Salisbury and Project Safe Neighborhoods Salisbury-Rowan. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. at the YMCA, 828 Jake Alexander Blvd. Family Day events continue through 2 p.m. This is the fifth in a series of Project SAFE Neighborhoods Family Days that aim to educate children in kindergarten through fifth grade about violence and crime prevention. “I sincerely encourage everyone to attend this wonderful community event,” Salisbury Mayor Susan Kluttz, a charter member of the Project SAFE Neighborhoods task force, said in a press release. “Project SAFE Family Day promotes the importance of the family unit and reinforces the vital responsibility that parents possess in supplying their chil-

dren with positive support and good direction, while serving as strong role models.” Kluttz said the event provides “positive youth opportunities by offering available venues for leadership development, service to others, and civic involvement” and that those opportunities align with eight focus areas identified by city residents during the Salisbury-Rowan United Positive Youth Summit. On-site displays and booths will offer information about involvement in mentoring and tutoring, recreational opportunities and athletics, parenting classes, schools and school-based programs and faith community programs. Free back-to-school supplies will be available for the first 500 children, and free food and drinks will be served. Door prizes will be given away during each workshop session and additional grand prize drawings will be held at 1:30 pm. Winners must be

present to claim their prizes. Activities for children include video games and other games, inflatables, educational movies, an appearance by McGruff the Crime Dog and a McGruff Bully Alert workshop by Salisbury Police Officer Ann Cooper. Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins, who serves as director of Project SAFE, called the event a “constructive setting” to make people aware of “positive youth opportunities” and give kids a chance to interact with positive role models. “Unfortunately, our children are often targeted for gang activity at a very young age,” Collins said in a press release. “By involving youngsters in positive activities, we strive to discourage their association with any gang activity or violence.” For more information about the Project SAFE Family Day event, call Project SAFE Coordinator Teresa Vinson at 704-638-2175.

New NC school program will reward all employees SANFORD (AP) — Everyone from custodians to principals help determine if a school succeeds or fails, and a Lee County group thinks being the most successful should entail more than just the satisfaction of a job well done. The Lee County Education Foundation announced the launch of its Head of the Class Project at Deep River Elementary School in Sanford on Thursday, an initiative that will pay $50,000 to the faculty and staff of the top-performing elementary school in the county. “We’re excited to see the impact it makes on Lee County and look forward to increasing the amount of the award

and spreading it to the entire K-12 faculty of Lee County schools in the future,” said Kirk Bradley, chairman of the foundation. The project will award the money annually, with the first honors coming at the beginning of the 2011-2012 school year. Each school employee will get a portion of the money. The nonprofit foundation raised $1 million from individual donors and corporations for an endowment for the program. The recipient of the award will be determined by the testing done every year by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.

NORMAN “I think we’re challenged as a public school system to do more with less. That is a tremendous challenge,” she said. Norman said although the board has worked with school system officials to rise to that challenge, it will continue to be a hurdle to overcome. “As a community we need to be very cautious of expecting to continue to cut the budget and expecting gains in student achievement at the same time,” she said. Richard Miller, Craig Pierce and W.F. Owens are seeking the North are seat. Mike Caskey, Troy Rushing and L.A. Overcash are candidates for the South seat. Incumbent Jean Kennedy is running unopposed for the special area seat. Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

GREENWAY FROM 3a “This is a huge win for Salisbury,” said Doug Paris, assistant to the city manager. When competing for stimulus funds, the city predicted the greenway expansion would create up to 10 jobs. Jarrell said he will put about 30 people to work on the greenway construction, including some new employees hired for this job. “It will also be keeping some people employed,” he said. The new greenway section will feature a bridge over Jump and Run Branch, a tributary of Grants Creek. A new boardwalk will take walkers and cyclists over a

The project is the first of its kind in North Carolina, and the foundation hopes it will be emulated around the state and the country. “North Carolina will be enjoying the rewards of this effort for many years to come,” said former Gov. Jim Hunt, one of several past and current state leaders who attended the announcement in Sanford. Also on hand for the announcement were Gov. Beverly Perdue; former U.S. Education Secretary Richard Riley; former Gov. Jim Holshouser; school Superintendent June Atkinson; and Bill Harrison, chairman of the State Board of Education.

marshy area, city engineer Dan Mikkelson said. The path will begin south of Jarrett Drive off of West Innes Street and run southwest to Forestdale Drive. From there, users can take Statesville Boulevard to the greenway connector on Brenner Avenue. A greenway is a linear park, usually along a waterway, that connects larger parks and places. Cities install greenways because they provide recreation and increase property values, as well as improving air quality when people walk or ride bikes instead of driving. “They provide a way for people to get from point A to point B without getting in their car, and that’s important to us,” said Gail Elder White, director of Salisbury Parks and Recreation. Greenways also preserve

open space, cut soil erosion and create a noise buffer for neighborhoods, Elder White said. The city has about 3.1 miles of paved, 10-foot-wide greenway. By including sidewalks and residential streets that connect the greenway sections, the system totals almost 6 miles. The city used grants to pay for the creation of a new comprehensive map of the greenway, which will be displayed at five kiosks on the Memorial Park, Prescott and Forest Hills sections. Users can pick up a map and brochure at the kiosks. The “zero” mile marker on the greenway is located at the Memorial Park cemetery. Council members on Thursday praised city staff for pulling the project together, as greenways are infamously hard to fund.

Construction will create jobs and help residents, councilman Paul Woodson said. “I’m tickled that we are going to be able to get this done,” councilman Brian Miller said. “Congratulations to the staff for pulling a rabbit out of a hat.” City engineer Patrick Ritchie and Elder White presented to council. The city’s greenway system has been under development for 15 years. As money and land becomes available, the city develops another section. Streets and sidewalks are used to connect the pieces until more path is paved. “You build the pieces you can with the ultimate goal of connecting them in the future,” Elder White said.

ART FROM 1a tential.” Taylor said the drawing fundamentals class she took was challenging at times, but she was happy to pick up some new skills. Cathy Sigmon, WaterWorks educational coordinator, said more than 500 children ages four to 13 participated in the camps this summer. Classes included pottery, portraiture, architecture, printmaking, drawing, collage, mosaic and claymation. “We had 38 classes and each teacher kept one piece of work per child per class,” she said. That work was on display last Saturday through Thursday, culminating in the closing reception. Sigmon said the students enjoy getting the opportunity to show off their work. “They love it,” she said. “This year we mixed up classes and ages and it’s

been kind of a scavenger hunt to find their work.” Students worked with both professional artists and art educators to participate in hands-on activities. “The goal is not so much the process or how many pieces they can produce,” instructor Debbie Hoffman said. “We’re just exposing them to the joy of visual arts and igniting their creativity.” Hoffman teaches the popular messy art class, which provides younger children with the fundamentals of art. “It’s very, very hands on,” she said. “We get our hands and feet right into the medium we’re using.” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge ordered a woman to stand trial on a charge of slashing Leonardo DiCaprio’s face with glass during a 2005 party. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund Willcox Clarke ordered Aretha Wilson to face one count of assault with a deadly weapon. The charge includes an allegation that Wilson, 40, caused great bodily injury. The details and extent of Caprio’s injuries were not made public, although the judge, who has reviewed photos of the injuries to the actor’s ear and neck, said Thursday that “this would not be an injury that would be called trivial or moderate, in my view.” Those photos also were not

SIMULATION FROM 3A

mark wineka/SALISBURY POST

Suzanne Storch tries to complete a simple drawing exercise while squeezed into a desk and under the glare of intense lighting. Loud music and noise also are playing. The exercise simulates what it feels like for an autistic child in the everyday classroom. sounds like to a child with normal hearing, compared to mild and profound losses. An â&#x20AC;&#x153;auditory neuropathyâ&#x20AC;? exercise placed me in a classroom where a teacher was reading a story, but what I could hear was severely limited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; mostly drowned out by the simple movements of restless kids. A worksheet after this video asked me the name of the book and what it was about. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only 30 percent sure it was about Eskimo children. Another exercise gave me an idea of what a child with a cochlear implant hears â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considerable static, but I could make out the man saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her husband bought some flowers.â&#x20AC;? I was then placed into another classroom environment (via computer), but I had to mute the sounds. The worksheet later asked me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What was the teacher saying about animals?â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;What song were they singing.â&#x20AC;? I think my written answers, in order, were â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t knowâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Impossible to tell.â&#x20AC;? As a little one with cerebral palsy, I was asked to move to three different ar-

eas in a wheelchair. My first activity told me to tape the fingers of my weak hand together, leaving only the thumb not taped. Then I was supposed to pick up and eat raisins out of a plastic butter dish. This simulated the lack of muscle control the kids deal with. I dropped a couple of raisins. The next activity tested my fine motor coordination â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also a challenge for the CP kids. I had to put a thick sock on each of my hands, then try to tie a shoe, string some blocks and button a shirt. I accomplished these tasks, but it took me a long time. My fine motor coordination was not great. I wheeled over to the third activity, where I was supposed to get out of the wheelchair and put my feet into a potato sack (pillowcase). From there I had to use a walker and make my way to the exit across the room. If I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hopped, I would still be shuffling in baby steps toward the door. I realized what strength kids with cerebral palsy must call on, just to walk. Of all the kids on site at the Partners in Learning Child Development Center, about 30 percent have special needs.

Soon after Kevin was diagnosed with autism, Kim said, she did what many parents do: Stayed at home and tried to isolate him and her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horrible,â&#x20AC;? she said. But she realized isolation was the worst thing for everyone. What was more important was establishing a routine and learning to recognize what Kevin

She and her staff organized their first simulation stations Thursday to help educators and people like me to get a grasp on what a special needs child is dealing with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to teach compassion and understanding and empathy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like walking in their shoes,â&#x20AC;?

Unfortunately, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the typical reaction of people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who have scarce knowledge of the challenges kids with special needs and their parents face every minute. In Kevinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s autism. But it could be cerebral palsy, hearing or vision impairments, cystic fibrosis and other disorders making it difficult for children and parents to fit in with what most of us consider normal. They have other normals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people will tell you, control your child,â&#x20AC;? Kim Roe said of being in public when an autistic child acts up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inside of you, it will rip you apart.â&#x20AC;? The Partners in Learning Child Development & Family Resource Center offered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Disabilities Sensitivity Simulationâ&#x20AC;? all day Thursday at its home behind Catawba College. The exercise took about an hour and required participants to go through three stations. One station placed you into an environment simulating what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like for a child on the autism spectrum. The second station put you into the shoes of a child with a hearing impairment. The third station had you complete three exercises as a child with cerebral palsy. You were quite restricted in performing simple tasks most of us take for granted. The stations also were similar to what a young child would confront in the classroom or social setting of a preschool. I went through each station, and it was tough. Community Inclusion Specialist Katherine Generaux started me at the autism station. My classroom chore was to draw things with wheels, since we were talking about circles as shapes. Katherine squeezed me into a tight desk space between two imaginary friends. On one side was Buddy, a touchy-feely kid typical of the age group, and Lilly, just an excitable, talkative child. Before she left me alone in the room, Katherine also turned on some loud singsong music behind me and, in front of me, scratchy noise that seemed to be the equivalent of standing next to a busy Interstate 85. The glare of lights above me was intense; the music, annoying, with those monotonous songs such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;nick nack, patty wack, give a dog a bone.â&#x20AC;? It was hard to concentrate on my elementary drawings of a tractor, car and bicycle. After I became too frustrated or had accomplished my task, I was supposed to retreat to a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cozy area,â&#x20AC;? a place where an autistic child could go to calm down. A high, portable partition closed me off from the louder, brighter part of the classroom. Here, it was all about breathing deep, relaxation, what feelings I was experiencing and hearing stories such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tucker Turtle Takes Time to Tuck and Think.â&#x20AC;? I especially liked holding the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ocean in a bottle.â&#x20AC;? Cindy Webb, inclusion specialist for the center itself, introduced me to the two other stations.

Getting the MIRA-COOL air cooler is the smart way to slash summer electric bills and still stay cool all summer long. And getting the second one free is like putting around three hundred bucks in your pocket and you can keep everyone in your family cool. “We’re bracing ourselves for all the calls because everyone wants to save on their electric bills and stay cool this summer. But those that really want to stay cool will be telling our operators they want two and they’ll get two more free,” said Gallo. “So when lines are busy keep trying or log onto www.MIRA-COOL.com. We promise to get every call. Then we’ll have a delivery truck out to you in no time at all so you can stay cool and start saving on your energy bills right away,” Gallo said. “You’ll instantly feel the ice cooled air in any room.

UMS – Everyone wants to stay cool this summer. But just turning on your air conditioner sucks the money right out of your pockets. Well today, for the first time ever brand new MIRA-COOL™ air coolers are actually being given away free to the general public for the next 48 hours starting at precisely 8:00am this morning. The only thing today’s readers have to do is call the Toll Free Hotline with their order for their first MIRA-COOL air cooler before the 48-hour deadline. The first 834 readers who do are instantly getting their second MIRA-COOL air cooler absolutely free. This is all happening to announce the MIRA-COOL air cooler which actually rolls from room-to-room so you can turn down the central air conditioning and stay cool anywhere. That way, everyone who gets them first can beat the sweltering heat and immediately start saving on their electric bills. Just in time for the unbearable summer heat, MIRA-COOL portable air coolers are being delivered directly to the doors of all North Carolinians who beat the deadline. The good news is the MIRA-COOL portable air cooler is not an air conditioner, so it only costs about a penny an hour to operate. These remarkable air cooling units are being called a miracle because they use 95% less electricity than a typical room air conditioner, yet blast out ice cooled air without any windows, vents or freon. They even come with two sets of reusable ice blocks. Everyone is getting the MIRA-COOL because all you do is fill it up and plug it in to stay cool for just pennies a day. So what’s the catch? “Well, only the first 834 readers who call 1-866-964-2336 to beat the order deadline for their first MIRA-COOL air cooler are getting their second one free,” said Chris Gallo, Operations Director. “We’re sorry, but we just can’t afford to give any more than that away free to readers of today’s publication,” Gallo said. “We can barely keep up ever since we started giving the MIRA-COOL air coolers away free. With the dog days of summer everyone’s trying to get them,” said Gallo. You just won’t find these MIRA-COOL air coolers in the national chain stores. That makes the first MIRA-COOL air cooler a real steal for just two hundred ninety-eight dollars and shipping since when you cover only shipping of the second MIRA-COOL air cooler the entire cost is free. This free giveaway is the best way to slash summer cooling bills and stay cool all summer long. The MIRA-COOL air cooler rolls from room-to -room to keep you cool so you can turn down the air and save a ton of money on cooling bills. “You see, with a central air conditioner you are paying to cool areas of your home that you’re not using. And window air conditioners are even worse because they weigh a ton so they’re a hassle to move,” said Gallo. But the MIRA-COOL air cooler actually rolls from room-to-room so it’s easy to stay cool in any room of the house for

AROUND N.C. FORT BRAGG (AP) — Eight firefighters have been injured after a fire started in a barracks under construction at a North Carolina Army base. Fort Bragg officials said Thursday that six firefighters suffered smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion and were treated at Womack Army Medical Center. Two firefighters were transported to Cape Fear Medical Center. The fire started Thursday morning in a three-story building under construction near the 4th Brigade Combat Team barracks. A statement issued by the base said the fire was extinguished around 1:30 p.m., more than three hours after firefighters first arrived on the scene.

Town’s mayor cleared of pool scuffle charges NEW BERN (AP) — The mayor of an eastern North Carolina town has been cleared of all charges stemming from a scuffle at a YMCA pool. Multiple media outlets reported that New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis was found not guilty Thursday of assault on a female. A disorderly conduct charge was also dismissed by Judge Thomas Foster. Bettis had been accused of grabbing a woman during an argument in June over the use of the New Bern YMCA pool. He says he did not touch her. The mayor, who was elected in 2009, says he’s grateful the experience is over.

Justices grant stay in college police case RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s highest court has delayed enforcement of a lower court ruling that could take power away from a college police department so justices can decide whether to listen to an appeal of the case. The state Supreme Court granted on Thursday a motion for a temporary stay in the case involving a motorist who

argues Davidson College police shouldn’t have been able to arrest her and enforce North Carolina law. The Court of Appeals agreed, ruling last week that the state can’t delegate such powers to a religious institution such as Davidson. The case could apply to other schools. State attorneys have filed motions asking the Supreme Court to hear an appeal. The Legislature allows the attorney general to certify police agencies and commission officers at private, nonprofit colleges.

Police identify body found in NC pond FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Police in North Carolina have identified a dead body found floating in a Fayetteville pond. The badly decomposed body of Mosi Abdul Shakur was found in Mintz Pond on Monday. Fayetteville Police said Thursday the 38-year-old man was homeless and that his identity was confirmed through fingerprint records. Police say no cause of death has been determined and that it may take weeks before they know how Shakur died. Mintz Pond feeds a Fayetteville Public Works Commission water plant. A commission worker was taking water samples when she saw the body.

Town launches ‘attack’ on hemlock pests CARY (AP) — One North Carolina city is planning what officials call an attack on some aggressive invaders.

The town of Cary is fighting back against a tree-killing pest called the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, which was first spotted in North Carolina in 1995. The tiny insect sucks sap from trees, preventing new growth. An infested hemlock tree can die within a few years. Cary leaders plan to close Stevens Nature Center and the Hemlock Bluffs Nature Preserve from Aug. 30 to Sept. 3. Hemlock trees in both parks will be coated with a product designed to keep them healthy. The insects were spotted earlier this summer at the nature preserve. So far, they’ve been found on 11 of the preserve’s 235 hemlock trees.

Audit finds worker made bootleg DVDs at work RALEIGH (AP) — State auditors say a worker at the North Carolina Employment Security Commission used his agency computer to make bootleg copies of movies and video games. An audit report released Thursday said that a systems analyst at the agency had dozens of DVDs stacked around his desk. The worker estimated that he had “more than one and less than a thousand” movies stored on his state-owned computer. The analyst was fired. Auditors say an applications manager’s state-owned computer also had software to illegally duplicate copyrighted material along with 20 movie copies and 14 television shows. He denied knowledge of the pirating. He was suspended without pay for two weeks last year.

Record year for turtles, rare birds at Hatteras seashore MANTEO (AP) — The National Park Service says the 2010 breeding season has broken records for rare sea turtles and birds along North Carolina’s Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The park service says 147 sea turtle nests have been recorded, the most ever at Hatteras. There’s also a record number of piping plover and oystercatcher chicks surviving long enough to fly. A coalition of environmental groups says the numbers are thanks largely to a rule adopted in 2008 that restricts off-road vehicles in nesting areas. The National Park Service is developing a final management plan for off-road vehicles at Cape Hatteras. It has to be in place by April 2011.

Report confirms problems within ferry division CAMP LEJEUNE (AP) — An investigation confirms some of the complaints made by the man who was fired after two months of trying to get North Carolina’s ferries back on track. Multiple media outlets reported Thursday that interim reports from the Department of Transportation call for stricter controls on overtime, purchasing and supervision of employees. Fifty-eight-year-old Harold Finch came out of retirement from the Coast Guard to lead the ferry division after its former director had been convicted of lying about illegal dredging. Finch

Man converting light tower to bed and breakfast CHARLOTTE (AP) — A man plans to turn an abandoned light tower off the North Carolina coast into a high-seas bed-and-breakfast. The Charlotte Observer

reported Thursday that 50year-old Richard Neal of Mint Hill bought the Frying Pan Shoals Light Tower in a federal government auction in May for $85,000. The deal was completed Wednesday. Neal plans to turn the 44year-old former U.S. Coast Guard post into a bed-andbreakfast. The tower is 25 miles from Wilmington and is more than 60 feet above the water. It has seven bedrooms, a kitchen, a recreation room and helicopter landing platform. The tower was built in 1966 and was deactivated in 2003. Neal wants to open next summer.

LBJ’s 102nd birthday: Refurbished plane goes on display STONEWALL, Texas (AP) — Luci Baines Johnson remembers as a teenager riding in a shiny mirror-finished jet trimmed with sky blue and white paint and emblazoned with black letters proclaiming “United States of America,” then landing on a narrow Texas airstrip behind what Americans would come to know as the Western White House. “A country runway,” she said this week of the roughly mile-long airstrip behind President Lyndon Johnson’s ranch, her childhood home and now part of the Lyndon B. Johnson National Historical Park. The National Park Service, which manages the park, will formally acquire the JetStar aircraft Johnson used as vice president — then during his five-plus years as the nation’s 36th president — today, LBJ’s 102nd birthday. Rescued from a scrap yard in the Arizona desert where it had been mothballed and cannibalized for parts, the fourengine Lockheed C-140 JetStar has been refurbished on the outside to look as good as new. Five trucks brought pieces of the plane earlier this month to the LBJ Ranch about 70 miles west of Austin, where it was reassembled as a permanent exhibit for visitors, who should number about 100,000 this year. It’s displayed under an open-air hangar on the same spot where it was parked in the 1960s. “I am one of those just thrilled to death to have it coming home,” Johnson’s younger daughter said. “And I think my daddy would be just tickled beyond words.” Acquiring the plane was the idea of James U. Cross, a retired Air Force brigadier general who served as John-

portant for visitors at the ranch to be able to see how he ran the presidency during his time,” Cross said. “Those JetStars were extremely important.” The planes were a delight to fly, Cross said. The Boeing 707 that served as Air Force

Cross spotted one on display about four or five years ago at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia. “We ought to get one of the JetStars he flew in,” Cross, 85, said he told Russ Whitlock, superintendent of the national historical park. When the new jets came into Air Force service in the early 1960s, five were assigned to the White House fleet. Johnson convinced President John F. Kennedy that as vice president he deserved planes of his own. Cross flew the first one and became Johnson’s permanent pilot after he got a tardy vice president to a Florida meeting with Kennedy on time — by breaking Air Force regulations barring long flights over

OFFICER FROM 1a Rankin reported that McLean was acting aggressively, walking toward her, and that a passenger also got out of McLean’s vehicle and approached her.

McLean was holding his cell phone. “She was acting in self defense and

SCAM FROM 1a and number to call and get things set up. The couple said they knew it was a scam, and decided to call the claims agent, who was apparently in Canada. The agent, who had a Nigerian accent, later threatened to come to their home, kill them and burn their house down, the couple said, Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office and Salisbury Police Lt. Sheila Lingle said the scams are common. “It goes on quite regularly, unfortunately,” Sifford said. “A lot of times they’ll target elderly people.” Sifford said most of the time the recipients realize the winnings aren’t legit, and don’t act on it. “Every once in a while we will have someone who acts on it and it’s not a good thing when they do,” he said.

water, in this case, the Gulf of Mexico. Cross thought the stunt might have doomed his career. Instead, it impressed Johnson. Cross later moved to Air Force One when Johnson became president after Kennedy’s death. In July 2009, Whitlock received word one of the planes Johnson used was in an aircraft graveyard outside Tucson, Ariz. He also learned the plane had been transferred from the Air Force to a scrap dealer. Fortunately for him, the dealer found another aircraft and the JetStar was available. “It was structurally in good shape,” Whitlock said. “Inside, the cockpit seats were gone, the radar system and equipment removed. Some of the seats were taken out.

“I think we will eventually restore the interior. We just couldn’t do it all at one time.” Straube’s Aircraft Services of Kingman, Ariz., got the $90,000 job to refinish the exterior, complete with presidential blue paint and gold trim that photos show distinguished the aircraft from others. “I cried when I first saw it,” Cross said. “I was delighted to see it come home to the ranch.” Cross remembered Johnson wanting the JetStar “available for his use or for special purpose use,” like tending to the needs of former President Dwight Eisenhower or U.S. Sen. Everett Dirksen, the Senate minority leader during Johnson’s White House years. “I think it’s extremely im-

but missed her, the boy and the car. A Sheriff’s Office report said the woman told authorities Byars “threatened to kill them for what they had done.” The woman said she was so afraid of Byars that she backed out into traffic on Airport Road, nearly hitting two cars. No one was injured during the incident. Authorities charged Byars earlier this month with two counts of a sex offense, two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child, and one count of contribut-

ing to the delinquency of a minor. Investigators said the 7-year-old boy had stayed with Byars overnight and came home very distraught. His mother talked to him and called 911. Sheriff’s Office investigators spoke with the boy and then visited Byars. When the investigators asked Byars about the allegations, authorities said, she was intoxicated and denied doing anything wrong. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

fired at the suspect and missed,” Baldo said. He said McLean was standing 15 to 20 feet from Rankin when she fired the shot. “It happened so quickly,” Baldo said. “She’s a mother and an officer, and we want BALDO (our officers) to get home safely.” Baldo said McLean is a convicted felon and was charged last week with assaulting Bost. “In law enforcement, a lot of officers

are killed with their own weapon and it’s usually when they hesitate to act,” Baldo said. “As far as I’m concerned, I’m glad no one was hurt, but it got his attention.” Rankin waited for back-up to arrive before she arrested McLean. He was charged with resisting or obstructing a police officer and careless and reckless driving. He was given a $500 bond and was not in the Rowan County jail Thursday. Officers with the Spencer and Salisbury police department, and Rowan County Sheriff’s Office assisted Rankin. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

Lingle said a sure sign that something is a scam is “you’re not going to get something for nothing,” she said. “If you ever win something, they’re not going to ask you to send something first,” she said. Lingle and Sifford urge anyone who receives a letter or phone call that sounds like a scam to call law enforcement and report it. “We encourage everyone to call if they have any question whether it’s a scam or not, and strongly suggest they not send anyone any money,” Lingle said. The checks, Sifford said, are never real. “They go to elaborate measures to make it look legitimate,” he said. Hugh Suhr, a communications representative with SunTrust, also said this particular scam was common, and that this one happens to target SunTrust. “We put notifications on our website, which is only one way we try to communicate

with clients,” Suhr said. “The best way to prevent this is education.” Suhr said that unfortunately some victims go as far as cashing these checks, and that by the time the check bounces back to them, they have already sent the money. “It’s up to the person to know where they’re getting the funds from,” Suhr said. “If

you’re making a deposit, you should know who you’re doing business with and you should trust that person you’re doing business with.” To report scams, contact the Salisbury Police Department, 704-638-5333, or Sheriff’s Office, 704-216-8700.

The task force also used Thursday’s well-attended gathering as a means of taking surveys and soliciting oral histories from former residents of Dixonville, a neighborhood lost to urban renewal in the 1960s. Lincoln School and the cemetery are among the few landmarks left from old Dixonville. Gretchen Witt, who oversees the Rowan Public Library’s History Room, will be conducting the oral interviews. The project also will rely on a consultant, landscape architect Perry Howard of N.C. A&T State University in Greensboro. Historian Betty Dan Spencer has documented more than 470 interments in the Dixonville Cemetery off Old Concord Road since 1914, the earliest year in which burial records were available. But the oldest headstone in the cemetery dates back to 1851. The cemetery has been city-owned since 1871 and was closed to burials close to 50 years ago. It remains a part of the city’s cemetery division, which maintains it. To get things going Thursday, members of discussion groups were asked to give their memories of Dixonville Cemetery and Dixonville in general. “My fondest memory was walking to school,” Dorothy Gilmore said, “and playing in that cemetery.” Gilmore said her grandmother and great-grandmother are buried there. Yolanda R. Woods said she cut through the cemetery on her way to Lincoln School. Leonard Alexander, who once lived on South Clay Street, said his fondest memory of Dixonville was hanging out on the streets. “It was a close-knit neighborhood,” said Juanita Ramsey, who grew up on East Horah Street. She said she lived Hillary Clinton’s belief that it takes a village

to raise a child. Her parents knew what happened at Lincoln School before she ever reached home at the end of the day, Ramsey said. Others mentioned the cemetery’s trees, which included persimmon and locust varieties. And the paths throughout the cemetery were forged, they said, from the ground nature provided — no fancy materials on top. Former Dixonville residents also recalled that the cemetery had a lot more stone monuments than it does today. One person said it had the graves of many babies and children, whose graves were marked only by metal markers long since gone. As for a monument, Sandra Russell suggested an 8-foottall obelisk as a focal point with trees and paths around it. Others in her group said any monument design chosen should be dignified, and the site should somehow attract kids and impart important history lessons. If a monument were to include the names of people buried in the cemetery, Rena Morgan the names should be presented where people could see them — on a wall, not on stones or bricks at ground level. Thomas Morgan spoke for a circular monument from which a person would see a reflection of Dixonville history from any point inside. Another discussion group mentioned the possibility of an abstract art design — a piece that would have its own identity and set Dixonville Cemetery apart from others. Fred Evans, a member of the task force, said the group will take all the information it received Thursday and put it into a digestible form for discussion. Since 2007, the handful of remaining headstones in Dixonville Cemetery have been repaired with help of a donation from the Salisbury Civitan Club. Community Development Block Grant money also has gone toward streetscape improvements and a roadside marker denoting some of the site’s history. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263.

Flowers, vegetables to take center stage at fair BY CAROLE MASSEY Master Gardener Volunteer

What an unusual growing season it has been. First, we had enough rain to prevent preparing gardens and getting seeds in the ground. Then the heat set in, with a record number of days over 90 degrees. Lack of rain, or inconsistent rain, was the next challenge. Now, finally, some relief and an average end to the summer. With all of these challenges, it is going to be interesting, and probably pretty amazing, to see the entries in the 59th Annual Rowan County Fair ,which begins Monday, Sept. 20, and continues through Saturday, Sept. 25. The fair catalogs are available for those who want to show off their horticultural accomplishments, baking and food preservation skills, arts and crafts, photography and handiwork including clothing and household furnishings. There is a niche for almost anything that can be made by hand or created with fruit and vegetables. The catalogs are available at the fair office on Julian Road and the Cooperative Extension office on Old Concord Road. The horticultural exhibits are a favorite of the Master Gardeners. Where else can you see examples of specimen flowers that are acclimated for this area? The cut flowers range from dahlias to roses, gladiolus to zinnias. The potted plants are not limited by container size and the exhibits are typically large and very showy. The competition is always fierce for the hanging baskets, with large Boston ferns competing with dainty rabbit’s foot ferns. The variety of begonias, in color and leaf shape, is always interesting. A category that gets a lot of notice is flower arrangements. A skill that is making a comeback, this competition offers categories in floral centerpieces for the dining table, coffee table, occasional table as well as mixed flower arrangement, dried flower arrangement, Aline arrangement, special season arrangement and arrangements best utilizing roses, snapdragons and marigolds, respectively. The most challenging, to my mind, is the miniature arrangement (not to exceed 3 inches overall). These must be the most perfect of arrangements, as the proportion of the container to the live flowers must be exact. For those who love competition, here is a perfect venue. There are adult and youth divisions for all flower and garden exhibits. The youth division is for those 20 and younger. Garden exhibits and fruit are another area of horticulture that showcases local gardeners. The rules state that all entries should have been grown by the exhibitor or his or her family in Rowan County. The specifications for entries specify that the items selected be uniform, free from blemishes and true to type. Special emphasis is placed on quality. (This means no soft spots and no insect damage.) The fruit division has categories for apples, both yellow and red, pears, grapes, muscadine (light and dark), bunch and any other type of grape. The vegetable categories range from beets, cantaloupes, cucumbers, gourds (ornamental and functional), green beans, potatoes (red, white, largest, sweet), beans (October and lima), okra, onions, peanuts, peppers (bell green, red, sweet, hot, large, small), pumpkin (largest, Jack-O-Lantern type,

The Rowan County Fair is from Sept. 20 - 25. misc.) radishes, squash (summer and winter), tomatoes (other, cherry) turnips, watermelon (best of type and largest), and the most unusual fruit and most unusual vegetable. It is very important to read and follow the directives. If a category calls for five of a kind on a plate, an entry will be disqualified for any more or any less. And those five have to be uniform, or as close as possible. There is a junior division also. Included in this department is the judging for honey. The local beekeepers are very competitive with categories of light (extracted and in comb), and dark (extracted and in comb). When the judging is completed in the food preservation department, the jewel-toned jars of summer’s bounty showcase the abilities of the gardeners and canners in Rowan County. Nothing is any prettier than jars of peaches and pears, beets, tomatoes and everyone’s favorite jams and jellies. The pickles are in a class all by them-

selves: dill, sweet, bread and butter, 14 day. The list goes on and on. Again, there are rules and specifications for all canned and preserved goods. Cleanliness, uniformity, pack and color are a few of the guidelines that will make you a winner. It is not all about the ribbons, but a blue ribbon sure gives a certain feeling of accomplishment (not to mention the cash award). If you are a gardener, I hope you will take the challenge and come compete. If you are a newcomer and want to see what it is all about, come to the fairgrounds and walk through the exhibit hall. The Jaycees have done an outstanding job of sprucing up the existing award-winning canned items at the rowan county Fair. buildings and making the best of what they have to work with. and do at the Rowan County Fair.

Turf talk: Fall is the best time for cool season fescue all is the best time of the year to seed cool season fescue lawns. This narrow window of opportunity during the fall promotes optimum root growth and development in fescue lawns. Soil temperature for fescue root growth is 60 degrees, yet research has found that roots continue to actively grow when the soil temperature is 34 degrees. Fall seeding provides optimum growth before the arrival of cold weather since seed DARRELL germination is slow BLACKWELDER during cold weather and often produces weak, thin turf. Over 50 cultivars of turf type fescues are on the market, providing more than an ample selection for homeowners. However, most retail outlets and garden centers only carry four to five different cultivars. Seed companies are now selling fescue blends or fescue/bluegrass mixtures in an effort to provide maximum seed quality. Some garden centers will custom blend turf seed to a homeowner’s needs — you can design your own blend. If possible, use a blend of three or more different types of turf-type fescue. These seem to adapt better and this helps reduce the spread of brown patch. Single cultivar plantings allow the fungus to spread freely, whereas a mixture limits its

spread. Shady areas should be seeded with blends containing bluegrass, creeping red fescue or hard fescues. Shade blends or mixes do rather poorly in full sun, however new bluegrass cultivars offer some heat tolerance. Bluegrass does well in the shade, spreading by stolons. Oddly enough, turf type fescue and bluegrass coexist to form a dense, well-matted lawn. Avoid planting turf blends that contain ryegrass. Annual and perennial ryegrass is very competitive and weakens fescue stands often sold as “quick start” lawn seed. Check the contents carefully before purchase. For new lawns or bare areas, apply fescue seed at 5 to 7 pounds per 1,000 square feet (220 pounds per acre). Apply half the seed to a given area, and then apply the remainder of the seed at a right angle to the previous application in an effort to guarantee thorough coverage. Use half the normal seeding rate (3 to 4 pounds per 1,000 square feet) when over-seeding thin areas. Core aerating before over-seeding is essential in allowing the seed to make contact with the soil, improving germination. New lawns should be plowed and raked to a depth of at least 6 inches to ensure good seed penetration. Make sure lime and fertilizer are tilled at least 4 inches deep in an effort to put nutrients in the root zone of emerging grass seed. Scattering grass seed on

Apply clean wheat straw as a mulch to cover bare ground areas. I really want to emphasize clean wheat straw with no seed heads. Germinating wheat in fescue lawns can be rather unattractive and may compete with emerging fescue. Wheat straw mulch holds moisture, allowing seed to germinate quickly. Gently shake one to two bales of straw per 1,000 square feet. Be careful not to apply too

much straw. After application, you should be able to see the bare ground through the mulch. Overmulching produces thin, weak stands of turf. Keep the soil moist for adequate germination. Water deeply to prevent sparse, inadequate root development. Irrigation may be needed two or three times per week during dry fall weather. Water less frequently when turf becomes established. Fescue normally germinates in 14 days; however, as the soil tem-

peratures begin to decline, so does seed germination. Fescue germination begins to slow down in late October and November, especially when hard frosts occur. Seeding within the next few weeks is essential for maximum turf growth. Darrell Blackwelder is the county extension director with horticulture responsibilities with the N.C.

Gardening: How to grow the tastiest tomatoes Hungry co-worker needs a helping hand B Y L EE R EICH

For The Associated Press

AssociATed press

A plate contains various types of tomatoes. The real secret to eating a delectable tomato is getting a variety that tastes great. a stem so that further growth is from side branches that, in turn, are terminated by fruits. Seed packets and nursery catalogs tell whether a variety is determinate or indeterminate. The advantages of determinate varieties are earliness and concentrated ripening period. However, I’d rather wait longer for my first tomatoes than eat an insipid fresh Sub-Arctic Cherry or cooked Roma tomato. Indeterminate varieties taste better because they have a higher ratio of leaves to fruits. “Indeterminate” is not the last word in great tomato varieties, however. Even among indeterminate tomatoes, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. Here, things become more a matter of taste. Time to name names A general consensus has singled out some varieties, such as Belgian Giant, Prudens Purple and Brandywine, as having excellent flavor. These three are old varieties, but some upstarts also stand out for fine flavor. Sun Gold and Sun Cherry, for example, are two recently bred hybrid cherry tomatoes so flavorful that it’s hard not to gobble them all up on the way from the garden to the kitchen.

Rich, flavorful canning tomatoes include San Marzano, Amish Paste, Anna Russian and Howard’s German. The way to sleuth out great-tasting tomatoes is to listen to others’ opinions and taste many of them yourself. Now, when fresh tomatoes are abundant, is a good time for this sleuthing. Then, find out the names of varieties that you think have supreme flavor, and make a note to buy seeds or seedlings of them next year. If you can’t find out the name of the variety and it’s not a hybrid, squeeze out some seeds, let them sit in water for a few days, then strain and dry them for planting next year. Go outside, pick and bite into one of your Early Girl or Big Boy tomatoes, two varieties frequently sold as transplants. Do you think they have really great taste? Any home-grown tomato tastes good, but there’s no reason not to grow the best. Some sources for seeds of many varieties of tomatoes are Fedco (Fedcoseeds.com), Tomato Growers Supply (Tomatogrowers.com), Company Tomatofest (Tomatofest.com) and Totally Tomatoes (Totallytomato.com).

You can freeze and thaw bread

Dear Laurie: I get this question often. I haven’t had soggy or hardened bread unless I kept bread SARA products NOEL frozen for too long. I freeze store-bought loaves of bread and hamburger and hot dog rolls in their original bag. I squeeze some air out if the bread seems to move around in the bag and simply thaw on the counter. My suggestion is to wrap your bread products differently. You want to wrap the bread products tightly (but not too tight or you’ll squish them) and get as much air out of the packaging as possible. Wrap the bread in plastic wrap and then in foil. Or if you prefer to use the original plastic packaging, open it and remove as much air as possible and double

Dear Sara: What can I use in place of English muffin molds? I have found a recipe to make homemade English muffins. I have the griddle (just bought at Walmart) but no English muffin molds. They sell them on Amazon.com, but I really don’t want to buy them online. If I can recycle something or repurpose something first I’d rather. If there is no substitution for the molds, well then, I will have to go buy them. Any suggestions? — Amy Connecticut

Dear Amy: You can use a tuna can, mason jar ring or biscuit cutter. You should be able to mold the dough into patties with your hands, too. And who says they have to be round? Use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into squares, or try an English muffin loaf recipe that you can bake and slice.

Dear Amy: I wanted to get back in touch with a really good friend from my hometown whom I’ve known for more than 30 years but haven't seen for five years. He had returned home to help his elderly mother. When I Googled his name, I was stunned to find his obituary from 18 months ago. I’ve cried and cried for two days now and don't know what to do. He was in his 50s and the funeral notice said he passed “after a short illness.” I’m flooded with memories of the good times we had together, upset with myself for not staying in touch, and sorry I wasn’t around to help or offer support to his mother at the end, and say goodbye to him. She is 90. I’m concerned that receiving condolences at this late date might be more upsetting than comforting to her. I can’t help wondering what happened to him. Obviously, I think it would be rude to ask, but I can’t get it out of my head. There was a cousin listed in the obituary. Would it be OK to call her and inquire about my friend’s mother and ask if I should send a note? Or should I just wait for my grief to subside? This has really torn me up. — Grieving and Distressed Dear Grieving: Contact the cousin and express your shock at this loss. Ask how your friend’s mother is doing and ask if it would be OK to contact her. If you do contact her, express your sympathy at her loss and share some fond memories of her son. Don’t inquire about the cause of this man’s death. You’ll probably learn this indirectly, and I agree that it would be rude to ask. Dear Amy: Your discussion about a boy who had a collection of stuffed animals made me smile. Mine was named Muffin. He was a duck that helped get me through law school. — Greg Dear Greg: Here’s to Muffin, and all the other stuffed friends out there who have helped their owners to cope with life’s challenges.

Dear Sara: I need tips on thawing frozen bread products. I’ve never been a fan of freezing bread products because I’m unsure how to thaw them, so they are either hard or soggy.

Dear Amy: I recently began working at a temporary job. There is an elderly man who is a permanent employee at this location. He is friendly, albeit fairly eccentric. He recently asked me to bring certain foods to the office for him, for which he would pay me back. He also asked to share my lunch with me one day, and I obliged. L a s t ASK week I noAMY ticed another temporary employee bringing in food for him. It is my guess that he has physical challenges getting to the store — he can only walk short distances — and no social support network. I'm concerned for his situation but foresee this turning into a weekly errand that I must run for him, which could be inconvenient for me. It would also not be a sustainable solution for him. What do you suggest I do if his requests become regular? What are our obligations to the elderly in our communities who do not have family or friends to help them? — Errand Runner Dear Runner: I can tell you’re torn about continuing to help someone in need, but I also hope you’ll assume responsibility for this task, at least for a short time. Tell the man you'll bring supplies in for him twice next week (say, Tuesday and Friday). Ask him for a list of eight things or fewer (so you both will be able to comfortably carry the purchases) and money in advance. Your fellow temp might be willing to organize this with you. And then — just do it. Think about your own grandparents and greatgrandparents. Every day, in ways large and small, neighbors, friends and near-strangers help someone get through the day. Many elderly people are “food insecure” — facing challenges getting basic food necessities because of transportation issues and infirmity, like your friend at work.

Some people, many of them gardeners, believe that the secret to eating a delectable tomato is to grow it yourself. Second best, they say, is farm-fresh. At the risk of committing horticultural sacrilege, I say “not so” in both cases. Ripeness is, of course, important to great flavor — an unripe tomato tastes no better than cotton soaked in diluted lemon juice. But this time of year, ripe tomatoes are to be had everywhere: from backyards, roadsides, farm stands, even supermarkets! And if truth be told, tomatoes picked slightly underripe can still ripen to perfection off the plant, as do bananas, avocados and pears. (Not every fruit ripens after picking. Underripe grapes, cherries or blackberries, for example, will soften and might even lose some acidity after picking, but this is different from true, flavorful ripening.) The real secret to eating a delectable tomato is getting a variety that tastes great. Select for flavor There are hundreds and hundreds of tomato varieties around. Many have been selected or bred for commercial qualities such as high yield, good appearance or concentrated ripening. Other varieties are notable for their disease resistance or their earliness. In contrast, a backyard gardener’s first consideration in choosing a tomato variety might be flavor. Highly touted resistance to “VFN” is important, but only if verticillium disease, fusarium disease or nematodes — which “VFN” denotes — rear their heads in your or in neighbors’ gardens. Likewise, there’s no need to shy away from a good-tasting variety that is lowyielding because, in the backyard, you can compensate by putting in a few extra plants. And it’s true that the convolutions that catface the fruits of the tomato variety Belgian Giant make the fruits ugly. But the rich flavor that Belgian Giant slices add to a sandwich more than compensates for this defect. Recognizing a great-tasting tomato As a sweeping generalization, socalled indeterminate tomato varieties taste best. These are varieties that form fruits along ever-elongating stems. With determinate varieties, fruits terminate

Commissioned by Attorney General Roy Cooper, the audit found that the SBI had withheld or fudged blood evidence to help prosecutors in 190 cases over 16 years. The review found another 40 reports in which blood evidence was manipulated but no charges were filed. Those convicted in the presence of tainted evidence include four people now on death row, five more who died in prison and three who were executed. There is perhaps no more compelling reason to suspend the death penalty in North Carolina than this. Two former FBI officials examined 15,000 lab files from between 1987 and 2003. In 230 cases, the investigators found that preliminary crime scene tests had discovered evidence of blood, but subsequent and more reliable tests came back negative. The official lab reports then did one of four things, all of them wrong: They didn’t mention follow-up testing; failed to include one or more negative or inconclusive tests; stated that follow-up tests weren’t done, when in fact they were; or contradicted the test findings. In other words, the SBI reports were intentionally misleading — all to the potential benefit of the prosecution. ... What now? It’s clear that the SBI’s reputation has been left in tatters. The seriousness of the facts in the report suggest that state leaders should strongly consider spinning the crime lab off from the SBI and make it an independent agency, one that presumably would be free of bias for the prosecution. The agency has taken the first step toward redemption by admitting its errors. Now the SBI, as well as local prosecutors and law enforcement, must re-examine these cases where evidence was tainted to ensure that justice was done correctly. Anyone connected to these unnecessary acts and who is still employed by the SBI should be fired. Justice is supposed to be blind, and trials are supposed to be fair. What went on in the SBI’s crime lab for so long was neither just nor fair.

Listen up For years, guitarist Pete Townshend has talked about noise-induced hearing loss. Was anybody listening? A national survey shows that 19.5 percent of 12- to 19-year-olds have lost a little of their hearing. Though researchers cannot pinpoint the exact cause for the growing numbers, up from 15 percent in the late 1980s and early ’90s, a possible culprit is blaring music through earbuds attached to ubiquitous digital music players. ... Use your earbuds — but don’t turn up the volume to 11. — The Courier-Journal Louisville, Ky.

Give the pursuit of debt-free happiness a try n 2008, “60 Minutes” visited Denmark to report on a survey of international happiness conducted by Leicester University in England that concluded Danes are among the happiest people on Earth. The reason? They have low expectations and thus, as Morley Safer noted, “are rarely disappointed.” This ought to be a Republican Party theme in the November and subsequent elections. If our expectations about politicians and government are lowered, we CAL will then start THOMAS expecting less from them and more from ourselves, then our prospects for happiness will likely be much improved. Take spending. Clearly we can’t go on like this. People should ask their grandparents if their parents told them, “We can’t afford it” when they asked for certain things. In this generation, the question of whether we can afford something is rarely asked. Our massive debt has produced an unease that America may be at greater risk from economic collapse than from terrorists. Excessive debt is terror by other means. Brian Riedl of The Heritage Foundation (www.heritage.org) has performed a useful service by analyzing the 10-year budget baseline of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which puts the deficit at $6.2 trillion. Riedl says that’s a phony figure because CBO is forced to make assumptions based on what Congress tells it. The true baseline deficit, says Riedl — based on a continuation of current spending and tax policies — amounts to $13 trillion over the next decade. If ever there was a time when “we can’t afford it” actu-

ally means something, this is that time. Here are Riedl’s conclusions: • Even as war spending phases out and the economy recovers, the projected budget deficit never drops below $1 trillion, and reaches nearly $2 trillion by 2020. • The national debt held by the public is set to surpass 100 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2020. • By 2020, half of all income tax revenues will go toward paying interest on a $23 trillion national debt.

If our expectations about politicians and government are lowered, we will then start expecting less from them and more from ourselves. • Federal spending per household, which has risen from $25,000 to nearly $30,000 over the past three years, would top $38,000 by 2020. The national debt per household, which was $52,000 before the recession, would approach $150,000 by 2020 (all adjusted for inflation). • Even if all tax cuts are extended, revenues will still surpass the 18.0 percent of GDP historical average by 2020. The reason the deficit will surge 6 percent of GDP above its average is because spending will surge to 6 percent of GDP above its average. The entire analysis by Riedl may be found at http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2010/08/NewCBO-Budget-Baseline-Showsthat-Soaring-Spending-NotFalling-Revenues-Risks-

Drowning-America. Read it and weep for yourself and for future generations. Some Republicans, like Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, are offering credible and thoughtful ways to get us out of this mess. Will the Republican leadership follow, or will it simply try to manage the big government liberal Democrats created, cutting only a little around the edges? Lowering expectations of government and politicians is only half the equation. We must then raise expectations for ourselves. “You can do it” is more than a rousing assurance from a parent after the training wheels come off and we ride the two-wheeler for the first time, it’s the ratification of the individual’s power over the weakening power of the state. Do we really need all we consume? After buying it, how much of it really satisfies? If we look to government to care for us, rather than looking to ourselves and to family, the time will come when government won’t be able to, health care will be rationed and our lives will be deemed unworthy of continuing. Thomas Jefferson said we had the right to pursue happiness. He didn’t tell us where to find it. Lowering expectations of government and politicians and raising our own expectations is where happiness — or at least contentment — can be found. How many other Republicans, besides Paul Ryan and too few of his colleagues, will tell us what we need to hear? For the first time in a very long time, the public may be ready for some strong medicine. • • • Cal Thomas writes for Tribune Media Services, 2225 Kenmore Ave., Suite 114, Buffalo, N.Y. 14207.

f your local high school doesn’t have a full-time professional athletic trainer, it should, but barely a third of America’s high schools do. Qualified trainers can prevent athletic mishaps — heat exhaustion, injuries to the head and spine — from escalating to something far worse. When senior Tommy Mallon broke his neck in a lacrosse game at his San Diego high school, quick intervention by trainer Riki Kirchoff, who prevented the young athlete from getting to his feet and instead immobilized him on a backboard, saved Mallon from paralysis or worse. But a survey by Lee Bowman of Scripps Howard News Service found that two out of three high schools rely on a stitched together patchwork of part-timers, who may not be certified; coaches trained in first aid; school nurses, and on game days, EMTs or a doctor on standby. With approximately 7 million high school athletes, who collectively suffer 2 million injuries each year, the need for professional trainers is there. And as the anti-obesity drive kicks into gear, with more and more students urged to be active, the need is likely to become greater. The advantage of a fulltime position is that the trainer is always there and knows the students. Trainer Tanya Dargusch has been a fixture at Sewell, N.J.’s Washington Township High School for 22 years. “I’m here for all the kids, not just the athletes,” she says. “I’ve treated dancers, ROTC cadets, marching band kids — I even had to deal with a student who had been stabbed.” In some communities, the high school athletic trainer becomes an informal part of the local health care network. There is a cost associated with employing one. Nationally the average salary is about $42,400. But there are savings that are not always readily apparent. Trainers hold down medical costs by knowing when a student should be taken to the emergency room or referred to a sports medicine specialist and when the injury can be treated on the field. And trainers can oversee physical therapy and rehabilitation at the school. Brian Robinson, athletic trainer at Glenbrook South in Glenview, Ill., estimates that the rehab treatments done at the school last year would have cost parents or insurers $3.7 million if done at private clinics. The presence of a professional athletic trainer is a perfect example of that hoary but nonetheless true medical cliche, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Not representative This is a comment on the recent online poll conducted on the repeal of the 14th amendment. The poll results defy the comments from a majority of citizens both local and nationwide. I just want to point out the validity of polls. The demogogues of a certain ethnic or political group often have the most influence on the outcomes. Most people that I know and have talked with don't have the time or are not inclined to respond to such polls; therefore only the affected group are respondents. This is why our country is in such sad shape. The reasonable citizens have been slow to band together and voice their opinions. This country just might get change we can believe will make it a better place for all our citizens, not just the law breakers. — Loretta Ennis Salisbury

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eight Afghan police gunned down at a checkpoint. Campaign workers kidnapped. Spanish trainers shot dead on their base. A spurt of violence this week in provinces far from the Talibanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main southern strongholds suggests the insurgency is spreading, even as the top U.S. commander insists the coalition has reversed the militantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; momentum in key areas of the ethnic Pashtun south where the Islamist movement was born. Attacks in the north and west of the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though not militarily significant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; demonstrate that the Taliban are becoming a threat across wide areas of Afghanistan even as the United States and its partners mount a major effort to

Homeowners with mortgage at risk of foreclosure WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The jobs crisis is putting more Americans at risk of losing their homes. One in 10 households has missed at least one mortgage payment, and more than 2 million homes have been repossessed since the recession began. Few expect the outlook to improve until companies start to hire steadily again and layoffs ease. And while there was some good news Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a modest decrease in the number of Americans filing for jobless benefits for the first time in a month â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the figure is still too high to bring down the unemployment rate. So the housing crisis goes on, even though the average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell again this week to an alltime low of 4.36 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, the housing story, whether it is delinquencies, homes sales or housing starts, is an employment story,â&#x20AC;? said Jay Brinkmann of the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Man denies paying 8-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Swearing Kidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; seen on video HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man who captured a short video of his 8-year-old neighbor tossing around swear words and posted it online says he never thought it would land him in handcuffs. Josh Eastman said Thursday that he still was taken aback that the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family chose to call the police to get the clip removed from YouTube. He said he was shocked by his arrest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the video they could have just asked me nicely to take it off, and I would have taken it off,â&#x20AC;? Eastman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go call the police and have me arrested for it.â&#x20AC;? Eastman, 34, was arrested Tuesday and was charged with impairing the morals of a child after the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother alerted authorities of an online clip titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swearing Kid,â&#x20AC;? police said. Eastman posted $2,500 bail and is due in court Sept. 8. The 13-second clip depicted the boy outside spewing profanity, Eastman said. The video has been removed from YouTube, but a copy has been obtained by authorities and is being reviewed, police spokesman Detective Keith Bryant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kind of a case is a first for us,â&#x20AC;? he said. Eastman, of Bridgeport, said his family and the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

family are friendly and he recorded the boy on his digital camera because the boy had developed a reputation around the neighborhood for swearing. He said initially he thought it would be humorous to post the video on YouTube because the site hosts other clips of children cursing. Authorities said the boy, whose name hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been released, told his mother Eastman encouraged him to swear and paid him $1. The boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother told the Connecticut Post newspaper on Wednesday her family was upset over the video and the boy usually doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exhibit that kind of behavior. Eastman said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the boy or ask him to curse on camera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where they came up with that idea,â&#x20AC;? he said.

and also Hillandale Farms. They also found additional samples of salmonella in other locations at Wright County Egg. More than 550 million eggs from the two farms were recalled this month.

Glenn Beck headlines rally coming to Lincoln Memorial WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Glenn Beck says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a coincidence his Restoring Honor rally on Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial will take place on the anniversary and at the site of Martin Luther King Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Have a Dreamâ&#x20AC;? speech. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardly apologizing for the connection. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is going to be a moment that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be able to paint people as haters, racists, BECK none of it,â&#x20AC;? he says of the event featuring Sarah Palin and other conservative political and cultural figures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a moment, quite honestly, that I think we reclaim the civil rights movement.â&#x20AC;? Civil rights veterans are skeptical. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we heard about Glenn Beck, it was puzzling,â&#x20AC;? the Rev. Al Sharpton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because if you read Dr. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech, it just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gel with what Mr. Beck or Mrs. Palin are representing.â&#x20AC;?

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A Las Vegas man injured while performing submersion baptisms in the name of the dead has sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for medical expenses. The civil suit filed Wednesday in Salt Lake Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3rd District Court claims Daniel Dastrup suffered severe back injuries, including a herniated disk, after performing about 200 baptisms at the LDS temple in Raleigh, N.C., on Aug. 25, 2007. The lawsuit contends the church was negligent in failing to warn Dastrup that the repetitive nature of the proxy baptisms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; bending, lifting and twisting â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could result in physical injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The church owed the

plaintiffs a duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid injury to the plaintiffs from the services they performed to the church,â&#x20AC;? the lawsuit states. Dastrup, who now lives in Las Vegas, claims he has suffered â&#x20AC;&#x153;a significant permanent injury that substantially changes his lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? including damaging his relationship with his wife. The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re puzzled by this,â&#x20AC;? church spokesman Scott Trotter said in a statement provided to the Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have been unable to validate Mr. Dastrupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claims, but since he is representing himself in this matter, we will need to respond to this directly through the courts.â&#x20AC;?

Attacks in Afghanistan raise fears of Taliban expanding

turn the tide of the nearly 9-year-old war in the south. The latest example occurred Thursday when about a dozen gunmen stormed a police checkpoint at the entrance to the city of Kunduz, about 150 miles north of the Afghan capital, Kabul. Eight policemen were killed. A candidate in next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parliamentary elections said 10 of her campaign workers were kidnapped while traveling in the northwestern province of Herat.

MIR ALI, Pakistan (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Taliban hinted Thursday they may launch attacks against foreigners helping Pakistan respond to the worst floods in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, saying their presence was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? The U.N. said it would not be deterred by threats. The militant group has attacked aid workers in the country before, and an outbreak of violence could complicate a relief effort that has already struggled to reach the 8 million people who are in need of emergency assistance. Pakistani Taliban spokesman Azam Tariq claimed the U.S. and other countries that have pledged support are not focused on providing aid but had other motives he did not specify. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Behind the scenes they have certain intentions, but on the face they are talking of relief and help,â&#x20AC;? Tariq told the Associated Press by telephone from an undisclosed location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No relief is reaching the affected people, and when the victims are not receiving help, then this horde of foreigners is not acceptable to us at all.â&#x20AC;? He strongly hinted that the militants could resort to violence, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;when we say something is unacceptable to us, one can draw oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own conclusion.â&#x20AC;?

The Gulf oil spill is a bonanza for some and a bust for others. The worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history has spurred something of an economic boom in some communities where cleanup operations are based, an Associated Press analysis has shown. But BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil spill has delivered a double whammy to areas too far away from the cleanup to serve as a staging ground for masses of workers, but close enough to experience severe losses in tourism, fishing and drilling. Sales tax revenue showed a stark difference. In Louisianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Plaquemines Parish alone, a fishing and oil-and-gas mecca that saw an influx of about 5,000 cleanup workers, state sales tax revenue shot up 80 percent in June over the same month of 2009. By contrast, Vermilion Parish in the Cajun country of western Louisiana, close enough to the spill to turn off tourists but too far to play a significant role in the cleanup, suffered a 45 per-

cent decrease for the same period. The two areas share a common thread: Both have been affected by the closing of Gulf fishing grounds and the threat to oil field jobs posed by a federal moratorium on deepwater drilling. But if there is good news to be found in the oil spill, it is in front-line places like Plaquemines, where thousands of spill workers and companies that serve their needs, such as caterers, have snapped up lodges and rental housing and have spent their pay in local honky-tonks and restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cleanup is a whole industry,â&#x20AC;? said Brooke Andry, whose 20 or so rental properties in Plaquemines are booked up with cleanup workers and BP officials instead of the customary fishermen. The AP analysis showed the 39 Gulf Coast counties and parishes in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida actually saw a modest increase in year-over-year sales tax revenue after the spill. But the selective prosperity and temporary relief has done little to assuage anxiety about the future.

Blagojevich retrial set to start in January CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is set to go back on trial in January, but he will stand alone as a defendant this time after prosecutors dismissed all corruption charges against his brother on Thursday. U.S. District Court Judge James Zagel said Rod Blagojevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retrial will start the week of Jan. 4, but he did not set a specific date. Jurors deadlocked last week on all but one of 23 charges against the former governor and four charges against his brother. Robert Blagojevich said he

was surprised by the dismissal, but had an inkling that prosecutors were wavering in their case against him when they called his attorney â&#x20AC;&#x153;proposing a strategyâ&#x20AC;? on Wednesday. He said he turned prosecutors down, and though he would not say what prosecutors were offering, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were encouraged by it, of course. We speculated briefly on what it might mean (but) we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would mean a dismissal today.â&#x20AC;? The Nashville, Tenn., businessman also said he is con-

vinced prosecutors never believed he was guilty of a crime, but used him as â&#x20AC;&#x153;leverage.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the leverage point is other than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a brother, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a high-profile case, (theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve) got a governor that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going after and maybe they thought that good things could happen for them from that, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview in his sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in Chicago. He suggested that if prosecutors were trying to put pressure on his brother by charging him it was not going to work.

UNC investigation now involves tutor CHAPEL HILL — The investigation of North Carolina’s football program has expanded into possible academic misconduct involving players and a woman who also has worked as a tutor for head coach Butch Davis’ son, school officials said at a news conference held Thursday night. UNC director of athletics Dick Baddour declined to identify the players or say how many may be involved, and he refused to specify what the possible violations may have been, saying only that they involved “a student tutor and student-athletes on the football team.” “We are looking into improprieties that existed outside the classroom,” Baddour said. “That’s about as close to that as I can get.”

PARAMUS, N.J. — Yes, that really was Tiger Woods’ name atop the leaderboard. In his first tournament since his divorce, Woods finally looked like the No. 1 player in the world Thursday at the Barclays when he opened with a 6-under 65, his lowest score of the year, to share the lead with Vaughn Taylor. It was Woods’ first time leading after any round on the PGA Tour since the WOODS Tour Championship last September. “It’s exciting to hit the ball flush again,” he said. “It’s something I’ve been missing all year.”

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FEVER

Boyden’s Brooks influenced Hunt veryone has a Harvey Brooks story. David Hunt, now West Rowan’s defensive coordinator, coached for many years with Brooks at Princeton High in Johnston County and has a million of them. Hunt recalls Brooks’ first days at Princeton, a school where they had come with the primary task of MIKE LONDON starting a football program from scratch. It was 1971, and students at the 1A school were gathered in the gym listening to Brooks’ fiery come-on-outfor-football speech. Finally a prospective athlete found the courage to speak up. “Coach, we ain’t football players — we’re basketball players,” he said. Brooks quickly informed the youngster that he’d also been hired as the new basketball coach, and if those assembled in the gym had any thoughts about playing hoops, they’d better get ready for some football. Brooks then said if you could play one sport, you could play both. To punctuate his point, he picked up the nearest football, hurled it the length of the gym and watched it swish through the basketball cords without changing expression. With that, Brooks strode out of the gym.

romar Morris, here lining up behind parker McKeithan, had 137 rushing yards and three scores in salisbury’s opener.

Living up to the preseason hype Roamin’ the county getting ready for tonight ... he great thing about the first week of prep football is looking back at the football edition and seeing which players lived up to the preseason hype. The cover story was on four returning all-county quarterbacks. They’ve had better nights. West’s B.J. Sherrill, Carson’s Zack Gragg, East’s RONNIE GALLAGHER Jamey Blalock and Salisbury’s John Knox combined to go 23 of 51 through the air. Coaches did not make a big deal about those stats because all four led their teams to victory. Sherrill had the toughest night with five dropped balls that could’ve gone for big gainers. The other big story was

Games at 7:30 P.M.

North Rowan at Carson East Rowan at Salisbury South Rowan at A.L. Brown West Rowan at NW Cabarrus Davie County at Page on the speedsters: Salisbury’s Romar Morris, West’s Trey Mashore and Carson’s Shaun Warren. They did not disappoint. Warren ran for 221 yards and Morris posted 137. Mashore had almost 200 yards in returns. But you know how fans are. They’re saying, “OK, do it again this week.” • Some things we learned

about our coaches from last week: After a 56-0 win against Central Cabarrus, West’s Scott Young says, “I want to fix those receivers’ drops.” Salisbury’s Joe Pinyan wants a better defensive effort after a 39-30 win against South. After a late 21-20 win against North Rowan, East Rowan’s Chad Tedder wants to go home without his heart pumping so rapidly. Carson coach Mark Woody wants some secondhalf points after the Cougars scored all of theirs in the first half of a 24-12 win against Hickory Ridge. South’s Jason Rollins wants to build on that 30-point effort. North’s Tasker Fleming wants to get a lead and keep it. • A lot of colleges seem to be looking at Carson’s 6-foot-3 receiver Cody Clanton, but no offers have come in yet.

Expect him to have some impressive stats by season’s end. His 112-yard effort on four grabs last week was vintage Gragg-to-Clanton. “They just do what they do,” laughed Woody of the county’s top passing combo. As far as double coverage on Clanton, Woody CLANTON replied, “I don’t know if it matters. He’s very creative. He just has a knack.” And Woody saw something else from Clanton that made him perk up. On one catch, Clanton faced a defensive back. Instead of trying to elude him, he simply ran over him. “I hadn’t seen that part of his game,” Woody said.

And at the first football practice, many kids who had never put on a helmet came out BROOKS for the team. “I don’t know that Harvey could ever make that shot again,” Hunt said. “But he made the one that counted. And some kids who had never seen a football game started for us opening night, and we won some ballgames.” Brooks was a prac- HUNT titioner of the single-wing offense that gave way to the T-formation in the 1950s, but he was faithful to it from his first coaching job at Norwood in 1960 to his final days in coaching at Jones County in 1992. Brooks learned the single-wing as a player at Salisbury’s Boyden High. When he wasn’t life-guarding and killing water moccasins, he was a fullback, middle linebacker and punter on late 1940s teams coached by Bill Ludwig, Derwood Huneycutt and Joe Ferebee. His teammates included tailback Homer Thompson, who went on to a Hall of Fame coaching career at Winston-Salem Parkland.

Common Sense sees an offensive year in the making ven with K.P. Parks in college, offense is alive and well in Rowan County. The county could boast two 2,000-yard rushers, a 2,000-yard passer and a 1,000-yard receiver this season. Carson’s Shaun Warren came up just 23 yards shy of 2,000 in 2009, and he racked up 221 yards on opening night. He’s on pace for 2,873 if the Cougars play 13 games as they did last season. Warren has 3,390 rushing yards for his career and already ranks

sixth in modern county history. With 164 yards tonight, he’d pass Thomas Lowe (3,471 with South and East), Joe Jackson (3,491 with West) and Dario Hamilton (3,553 with Salisbury). That would just leave Wade Moore (4,256 with West) and the unpassable Parks (10,895 with West) in front of him. Salisbury’s Romar Morris had 137 yards on opening night, and he probably lost 50 more yards to penalties. Morris’ game tonight will be a

big one if he hopes to challenge Warren for the county rushing title. The North Carolina commitment had a ridiculous 184 rushing yards on a mere seven carries against East last season. Let’s do the math. If “Speedo” can maintain that same pace against the Mustangs tonight and coach Joe Pinyan gives him 30 carries, he’ll rush for 788 yards. That should be some sort of world record. As far as passers, West Rowan’s B.J. Sherrill is coming off a season

in which he threw for 2,192 yards in 16 games. He had roughly 2,192 passes dropped on opening night, which explains why he had only 129 passing yards. West’s receivers should settle in, and B.J.’s numbers will climb. Carson receiver Cody Clanton picked up right where he left off. Clanton, who had five 100-yard receiving games as a junior, enjoyed the sixth of his career on opening night.

at Carson

 Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: North 0-1; Carson 1-0  Series: Carson leads 2-1  Last meeting: The Cougars spanked the Cavaliers 22-0 at Eagle Stadium  Last week: North led 20-0 before losing 21-20 to East; Carson handled Hickory Ridge 24-12  Next week: North Rowan has its open date; Carson is home against Salisbury  Streak: Carson’s won the last two meetings  History: Carson broke a 22-game skid when it won at North in 2008  North’s last win in the series: North beat Carson 12-7 in 2007. That was back when the Cougars were still seeking victory No. 1.  Game notes: Carson tailback Shaun Warren has had a career against North, and the Cavaliers can expect a steady dose of him again. He scored a TD against the Cavs as a sophomore and carried 21

Warren

times for 200 yards and three TDs against North as a junior. Warren is coming off the fourth 200-yard game of his career against Hickory Ridge. He had a career-high 37 carries. Carson’s Zack Gragg threw for 150 yards last week, so the balanced Cougars make life tough for defenses. Pass-rusher Javon Hargrave and DB Kornell Cook will try to slow Carson receiver Cody Clanton. North wants to bring back “The Airport” image at Eagle Stadium and QB T.J. Allen did OK through the air last week. But the Cavaliers still have to run the ball occasionally, and they managed a paltry net of 10 yards against East Rowan. Carson is favored and would love to take a 2-0 record into next week’s game with Salisbury. It’s likely Warren’s legs and the Carson offensive line will control the game, but North has enough dangerous athletes to make it interesting.

East Rowan

A.L. Brown  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: South Rowan 0-1; A.L. Brown 1-0  Series: Wonders lead 39-8--2  Last meeting: South won 21-19 at Donnell Stadium in 2009  Streak: Brown’s still won five of six and 13 of 15 in the series  Brown’s last win in the series: Wonders pounded out a 28-7 victory in 2008.  Last week: South was outscored 39-30 by Salisbury; Brown rallied to beat Statesville 29-25  Next week: South Rowan is home against NW Cabarrus; Brown is at home at Memorial Stadium against Thomasville’s Bulldogs  Game notes: A three-touchdown underdog on opening night, South, which returned zero offensive starters, looked surprisingly good with the ball in its loss to Salisbury. Brown, a three-TD favorite on opening night, rushed for 267 yards but found itself in a real scrap at

Campbell

Statesville. The Wonders needed several clutch plays by QB Martel Campbell to win after Statesville scored 18 unanswered points. Two weeks ago, it appeared Brown would be favored by 30 in this rivalry game, but with tailback Travis Riley sidelined, this game could be c o m petitive even at Memorial Stadium, a venue where South has won twice in 50 years. With Riley out, Brown coach Ron Massey, who is 8-2 against South, could expand Damien Washington’s role on offense. Brown’s defense wasn’t bad against Statesville. The Hounds got one of their TDs on defense. South DB/RB Mark McDaniel was fantastic against Salisbury, scoring on a reception and a rush and turning broken plays into big gains. South’s offensive line played well, and defensive end Josh Medlin and linebacker Leo Pope stood out on the other side of the ball.

14 TDs. Dinkin Miller and Desmond Jackson headed West’s committee of running backs last week, and 252 rushing yards wasn’t a bad start. West also has QB B.J. Sherrill, who’s been solid against the Trojans the past two seasons (16-for-28, 214 yards, one pick). Northwest has had trouble moving the ball against West’s defense. West hasn’t shut out the Trojans since 2004, but NWC has put up a lot of 6s and 7s. Central Cabarrus had minus-42 yards rushing against West last week, and it’s also tough to move against West through the air with Georgia Tech commitment Domonique Noble, Eric Cowan and Trey Mashore in the secondary. Players to watch for Northwest are defensive lineman D.J. Bostick and kicker Bradley Pinion. Pinion usually kicks off into the end zone, but he may only get to kick off once.

FROM 1B

at Salisbury  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: East Rowan 1-0; Salisbury 1-0  Series: Salisbury leads 26-10  Last meeting: Hornets rolled 46-10 in Granite Quarry in 2009  Streak: Salisbury has won the last two meetings and six out of seven  East’s last win in the series: East blasted Salisbury 42-21 in 2007  Last week: East rallied to beat North Rowan 21-20; Salisbury won 39-30 at home against South Rowan  Next week: East Rowan is at Concord; Salisbury is at Carson  Game notes: The fun continued for East last week in coach Chad Tedder’s debut. With that one-point win, the Mustangs now have won eight of their last nine games that were decided by three or fewer points. East also has won its last eight overtime games (the last OT loss was in 1989), so the Hornets want to

Hillie

take care of this one in regulation. Offensively, Salisbury was pretty sharp on opening night, except for some penalties. Big-play threat Romar Morris showed why he’s a UNC commitment with 137 rushing yards and a kickoff return for a TD. QB John Knox, HB Dominique Dismuke, FB Tyler Downs, K David Simons and TE Riley Gallagher all had excellent games. Knox had 88 rushing yards against East as a sophomore. The Mustangs stopped him last year, but Morris wrecked them with 184 rushing yards and two TDs on just seven carries. East RB Chris Moore rushed for a career-best 111 yards against Salisbury in 2009, but the Hornets contained slick QB Jamey Blalock. Salisbury defenders such as linebackers Kavari Hillie and Trey Jackson will try to repeat that success.

Greensboro Page  Time: 7:30 p.m.  Records: Davie 0-1; Page 1-0  Series: Davie leads 4-1  Last meeting: Page rolled 34-14 in Mocksville  Last Davie win in series: Davie won a 50-49 OT game in 2008 that was one of the more remarkable contests of the last decade  Last week: Davie suffered a 10-7 loss to Alexander Central; Page crushed Parkland 41-0  Next week: Davie is home against West Rowan; Page is on the road at Northern Durham  Game notes: Davie made three goal-line stands and recovered four fumbles last week and still lost. The biggest culprit was the running game. Davie didn’t really have one. It was outrushed 213 yards to 20. Page blistered Davie with its ground game last season, outrushing the War Eagles 311-132.

Herndon

Page’s 5-foot-5 RB Thuc Phan rushed for 106 yards against the War Eagles last season, and he returns from a 9-3 squad along with Drew Rogers, another 1,000-yard rusher, all-conference QB James Summers and 290-pound lineman Will Foxx. Sounds like Davie has its work cut out tonight, and it won’t get any easier. Davie’s next four are against West Rowan, Greenville Rose, Thomasville and Salisbury. QB Carson Herndon scored Davie’s only TD on the ground last week and threw for 114 yards. Herndon will try to get WR Joe Watson, a Duke commitment, involved. He had just four catches for 24 yards opening night. Linebacker Jared Barber, a West Virginia commitment, and fast DB Alex Newman anchor a defense that has to keep the score in the teens. Davie’s unlikely to survive a shootout.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B It’s something else for those college recruiters to take notice of. • While all eyes are on the stars, there are always a few unexpected names popping up on the radar. Our Rolaids award goes to Carson’s Chris Barnhardt. A linebacker by trade, he was forced into kicking duties when Caleb Lippard pulled a muscle. Woody was expecting a lot from Lippard, a senBARNHARDT ior who attended some camps during the summer. “He’s actually really good,” Woody said. But the old-school Barnhardt — with his straight-on style — produced for Carson. He hit all three of his extra points and even kicked a field goal. Will SHERRILL Ricky Sherrill be the next big thing at South?

Salisbury’s John Knox (3) hands off to Tyler Downs (7) as Parker McKeithan (74) blocks. The 213-pound sophomore ran over Salisbury for 98 yards.

turning it over. They survived five turnovers in squeaking by North on opening night. West Rowan 49, NW Cabarrus 7 From all reports, Northwest is way, way down. Way, way down is not a good place to be with West’s defense coming to town. Negative rushing yardage is likely for West’s opponent for the second straight week. Page 17, Davie County 10 With Common Sense’s ugly track record on Davie picks, taking Page almost ensures a War Eagle victory. This is the least we can do to help Davie snap out of a funk in which the program has dropped nine of 13. Davie gets West Rowan next.

“We didn’t lose very many games,” Brooks said. “Coach Ludwig was a fine coach with fine character. I got to play all four years and I was a pretty good punter. I averaged 44 yards one year.” After high school, Brooks played for a while at Atlantic Christian. Then he went to work for the railroad in Spencer. He might’ve been content with that job, but military service interrupted. He became a Marine, and his assignment was teaching football at Camp Lejeune. “I realized what I really wanted to do was coach, but to do that I had to have an education,” Brooks said. “Coach Ferebee had been my backfield coach at Boyden. He’s the one that encouraged me to go back to school at Pfeiffer.” Brooks had a wife and two kids, but he took advantage of the G.I. Bill and enrolled. He took morning classes after working the third shift on the railroad. “Then one day I went to sleep in the dean of students’ class,” Brooks said. “He told me to come talk to him in his office. I remember going home and telling my wife that night, ‘Well, I guess it’s all over. Now I’m going to get put out of school.’ ” But the dean was sympathetic. He offered Brooks and his wife the job of being houseparents in charge of Pfeiffer’s Plyler Dorm, and he was able to stop working on the railroad. He also had time to umpire baseball, officiate soccer, referee football and basketball and work as a volunteer coach. Brooks earned his Pfeiffer P.E. degree in the spring of 1960. That fall, he was employed at little Norwood High in Stanly County. He was hired to coach everything — football, basketball, baseball and track — and his teams won in everything. When Norwood and Aquadale were consolidated into South Stanly, he became the new school’s first football, basketball and baseball coach. He spent six years there, and his teams won 80 percent of the time. “We had Jimmy Lisk at South Stanly, and he was the only All-American in the state of North Carolina one year,” Brooks said. “We were successful, won championships in everything.” Brooks’ next stop was John Graham High in Warrenton. He coached football and basketball there from 1967-71, won at a 70-percent clip and then moved on with principal Fred Bartholomew and Hunt to Princeton. Brooks spent 16 years at Princeton and reached the 1A state championship game in 1976 and 1979. The singlewing offense was supposed to be an antique, but Brooks’ teams ran it with precision. “It was so old it was new, and we were able to do some things with it,” Hunt said. From 1977-80, Brooks coached Mike Atkinson, who rewrote the state record book for rushing and TDs. His marks stood until A.L. Brown’s Nick Maddox, Albemarle T.A. McLendon and West Rowan’s K.P. Parks came along.

FILe PhOTO

HARVEY BROOKS “Harvey Brooks was as good as anyone I ever saw at talking to a group of players, and those Princeton kids gladly ran through walls for him,” Hunt said. “He was gung-ho, just a master motivator. I remember my brother coming into the locker room once. He heard Harvey talking to the team, and he got so fired up he literally tried to beat down the door with his forearm, and he wasn’t playing.” Brooks’ pregame pep talks were even more passionate, and he was also compassionate. “We coached a lot of poor kids,” Hunt said. “A lot of weeks Harvey’s Winnebago got washed four times so those kids would have a little money to get by.” Brooks could also be daring. There’s a story from the old days when ties in playoff games were broken, not by overtime, but by who had the most yards rushing. Brooks is 81, but he hasn’t forgotten one of those deadlocked games his team played against Whiteville’s Mount Olive High long ago. A late faked punt provided the rushing yardage that Brooks’ team needed to advance. After he left Princeton in 1986, Brooks finished up by coaching four football seasons at Pikeville Aycock and four more at Jones County. A broken kneecap finally ended his career. “It was quite a round trip for me, and I’m pleased I got to what I really wanted to do,” said Brooks, who now lives in Trenton, N.C. “But the one record I wanted to break, I couldn’t. Amos Alonzo Stagg coached until he was 100, and I fell short.” His coaching numbers are staggering — 238-99-3 in football, 320-140 in basketball, 64-12 in baseball and 12-0 in track. That’s 634 wins as a high school head coach. Lately, there’s been a revival of appreciation for Brooks, who has been elected to the Princeton, Johnston County and NCHSAA halls of fame in recent years. He got the call from the NCHSAA earlier this month. Brooks’ influence is also still seen through Hunt, who can get West’s defense ready to run through walls. One last Brooks story. When Hunt coached the Davie County jayvees in the 1990s, injuries sent him into a game at North Davidson without a quarterback. “So we ran the singlewing,” Hunt said. “I still have Harvey’s playbook.” • Contact Mike London at mlondon@salisburypost.com.

Dodgers register sweep Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Casey Blake hit a two-run homer and six Dodgers pitchers combined on a two-hitter as Los Angeles beat Milwaukee 7-1 to finish a three-game sweep. The Dodgers came into Milwaukee with a 3-14 mark on the road in the second half but rekindled their playoff hopes with their first three-game sweep at Miller Park since May 23-25, 2003. The Brewers lost their fourth straight overall. Leading 4-1, the Dodgers broke the game open in the seventh with three runs off Yovani Gallardo (11-6) and reliever Todd Coffey. D’backs 11, Padres 5 SAN DIEGO — Ian Kennedy struck out a career-high 12 in a combined four-hitter and Stephen Drew finished a torrid series by hitting a three-run homer and an RBI double as last-place Arizona beat the NL West-leading Padres. Coming off a start in which he allowed a careerhigh 10 hits in five innings, Kennedy (8-9) one-hit the Padres through seven shutout innings. After allowing Will Venable’s single with two outs in the fourth, he retired his final 10 batters, five by strikeout. Marlins 11, Mets 4 NEW YORK — Hanley Ramirez feasted on New York pitching yet again and rookie Logan Morrison reached base four times, including a two-run double during Florida’s seven-run sixth inning. Ramirez hit a two-run homer and finished with three hits, going 10 for 15 in the series. He’s been a pain for the Mets all season, driving in 14 runs and scoring 15 times against them. Anibal Sanchez (11-8) got the win despite allowing four runs and nine hits over five sloppy innings. David Wright hit a tworun homer in the first but New York stranded 12 runners. Mets starter Jonathon Niese (8-6) matched his career high with eight strikeouts but blew a 4-0 lead and was chased in the sixth. He allowed more runs (seven) than hits (five). American League TORONTO — Jhonny Peralta and Gerald Laird homered, Max Scherzer became a 10-game winner for the first time and the Detroit Tigers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 Thursday. Peralta hit a three-run drive and Laird added a tworun shot in Detroit’s six-run fourth inning. It’s the eighth time in eight road games that the Tigers have hit two or more home runs. They’ve hit 19 in that span. Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 41st home run, the 100th homer of his career. Indians 3, Athletics 2 CLEVELAND — Matt LaPorta hit a go-ahead two-run homer to help Justin Masterson (5-12) win for only the second time in 10 starts and Cleveland broke a five-game losing streak. It came on “Puppypalooza Night,” a promotion in which fans bought tickets for their pet dogs. White Sox 8, Orioles 0 CHICAGO — Edwin Jackson struck out 10 in eight dominant innings, and Alex Rios hit a two-run homer. Jackson allowed three hits and walked two, improving to 2-0 with a sparkling 0.96 ERA in four starts since he was acquired from Arizona on July 30. The right-hander, who threw a no-hitter on June 25 at Tampa Bay, has struck out 34 in 28 innings with Chicago. Twins 6, Rangers 4 ARLINGTON, Texas — Francisco Liriano allowed two runs and five hits over seven innings, and Delmon Young hit a three-run homer. Liriano (12-7) struck out six and walked one to capture his sixth straight decision and snap Texas’ fourgame winning streak.

Astros frustrate Phils Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — There’s something about the Phillies that brings out the Astros 5 best in the HousAstros. Phillies 1 tonWandy Rodriguez pitched seven sharp innings, Carlos Lee homered and the Astros beat the Phillies 5-1 Thursday to complete their first fourgame sweep in Philadelphia in 11 years. “Houston has been a team that for years has given us problems,” Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins said. “Doesn’t matter if they’re good or bad, they give us problems.” The Astros have owned the Phillies in recent years. They are the only NL team with a winning record (30-16) against Philadelphia since 2004. The two-time NL champion Phillies fell three games behind idle Atlanta in the NL East and trail San Francisco by a half-game in the wild-card standings. Rodriguez (10-12) allowed one run and five hits, striking out six. The left-hander is 7-2 with a 1.79 ERA since June 24. “It’s hard to find a better pitcher over the last couple of months,” Astros manager Brad Mills said. The spoiler Astros got major contributions from three former Phillies — pitchers Brett Myers and J.A. Happ and All-Star outfielder Michael Bourn — to become the first team to sweep a four-game series in the seven-year history of Citizens Bank Park. They last did it in Philadelphia at Veterans Stadium in September 1999. The Astros also swept a four-game series from the Phillies in Houston last September. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings. He’s 1-2 with a 6.23 ERA in his last three starts. Philadelphia has struggled against the lesser teams in the majors, going 21-19 against clubs that

are 10 games or more below .500. The Phillies’ inconsistent offense is struggling again, scoring two runs or less in seven of the last eight games. “We say we’re resilient,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “We have to RODRIGUEZ come out of it.” The Phillies are heading to the West Coast for the next six games, starting with a three-game series against the Westleading San Diego Padres. Rodriguez allowed only one baserunner on a walk until Jayson Werth lined a single to left to start Philadelphia’s fifth. Raul Ibanez followed with a double, but Rodriguez pitched out of the no-out jam without allowing a run. Shane Victorino struck out. Brian Schneider then lined out to right fielder Hunter Pence, who easily nailed Werth at the plate. “I had real good location and my breaking ball was very good,” Rodriguez said. The Phillies finally broke through in the fifth. Chase Utley lined an RBI double into the rightfield corner to cut it to 4-1. The Astros scored a run in each of the first four innings, getting key, two-out hits for the first two. Anderson Hernandez singled and scored on Lee’s double to left in the first. Angel Sanchez singled and scored on Bourn’s single to right in the second. Lee connected with one out in the third, hitting a drive to deep left for his 18th homer and a 3-0 lead. Sanchez led off the fourth with a double and scored when Rodriguez ripped a single off the scoreboard. The speedy Bourn stole a run in the seventh. He reached on an infield single, stole second base d and scored on an infield single. “Bourn was outstanding,” Mills said. “God gave him some great legs and it’s nice to see him use them.”

Reyes aggravates oblique NEW YORK (AP) — Mets shortstop Jose Reyes left Thursday night’s game against the Florida Marlins after aggravating a right oblique strain that caused him to miss the All-Star Game last month. Reyes snapped an 0-for-11 skid with a single in the second inning off Anibal Sanchez. The speedy sparkplug rounded first and didn’t appear to be hurt, but a Mets trainer came out to check on him and after a couple of moments led him to the dugout to a smattering of boos at Citi Field. Reyes didn’t even bother to take his batting helmet off before plopping down on the bench. A team spokesman said that the injury was mild and that Reyes would “hold off on baseball activities until he’s pain free.” The Mets

did not provide any more details. Reyes initially hurt his oblique on June 30 while taking batting practice before a game against the Marlins in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He returned July 6 but still struggled with the injury, leaving a game against the Atlanta Braves a few days later after making a play in the field. An MRI performed at the time was negative, but Reyes decided to skip the All-Star Game in Anaheim anyway. He began the year on the disabled list with a thyroid problem, but has still been one of the few offensive weapons in the Mets’ meager lineup when he’s been healthy. Reyes was replaced on the bases by rookie infielder Ruben Tejada on Thursday night. Tejada stayed in the game to play shortstop in the top of the third inning.

Pujols hits 400th HR in loss WASHINGTON (AP) — Ian Desmond singled home Nyjer Morgan in the bottom Nats 11 of the 13th inning Cardinals 10 and the Washington Nationals overcame Albert Pujols’ 400th home run Thursday night in an 11-10 roller-coaster win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Morgan was hit by a pitch from Blake Hawksworth (4-8) while squaring to bunt leading off the inning, then advanced to third on Alberto Gonzalez’s one-out single. With the infield in, Desmond bounced a grounder up the middle. Doug Slaten (41) pitched a scoreless inning for the Nationals, who broke out of their offensive doldrums PUJOLS with 16 hits. Washington had been shut out three times in the past week, and the victory ended a four-game losing streak. The Cardinals scored four in the top of the ninth to take a 10-8 lead, but Roger Bernadina’s two-run homer to right-center off Ryan Franklin sent the game to extra innings. Then, after eight straight innings in which at least one run was scored by one team or the other, the 10th and 11th were barren — with no hits whatsoever. Willie Harris drew a two-out walk in the 12th, as did Wil Nieves, the last position player available on the Nationals bench. Adam Kennedy hit a blooper up the middle that seemed sure to end the game, but shortstop Brendan Ryan made a diving, snowcone catch to send it to the 13th.

The Nationals used eight pitchers, while the Cardinals used seven in what had already been a busy day at Nationals Park, with Washington introducing this year’s No. 1 overall draft pick, Bryce Harper, and having an MRI performed on last year’s No. 1 overall selection, Stephen Strasburg. Strasburg’s test results are to be released Friday. Pujols hit his milestone homer leading off the fourth, but it couldn’t stop a St. Louis slide that has come at an inopportune time in the playoff race. The Cardinals have lost three straight and eight of 11 — including a demoralizing two in a row to last-place Pittsburgh before arriving to play last-place Washington. Pujols sent an 0-1 fastball from Jordan Zimmermann into the rightcenter seats to become the 47th major league player to reach 400 homers, and the third-youngest to do so. Pujols stood and admired the shot, then was mobbed by teammates when he returned to the dugout. The slugger also hurt his right ankle in the bottom of the 10th when he tried to plant his foot on the tarp to reach for a foul ball near the first base dugout, but he stayed in the game. Looking to shake things up, Washington manager Jim Riggleman canceled regular batting practice and had his players hit in the indoor cage instead. He also shuffled the lineup, putting Kennedy at leadoff for the first time this season, moving Morgan to second and Desmond to fifth. It seemed to pay off. Every player in the starting lineup except the pitcher had at least one hit. Desmond led the way with four.

Fox: Lineman opts to retire

Bradford passes first test

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Offensive lineman Kirk Barton has decided not to report to the Carolina Panthers a day after he was claimed off waivers. Coach John Fox said Thursday he believes Barton has decided to retire. The Panthers waived reserve tackle Jason Capizzi on Wednesday to make room for Barton, who was waived by Denver earlier this week. The 25-year-old Barton is a former seventh-round pick by Chicago out of Ohio State. He’s bounced around the league with several teams and played in one NFL game the past two seasons. BROWNS BEREA, Ohio — When he coached in Green Bay, Mike Holmgren would point to the names ringing the upper deck facade at Lambeau Field. Ray Nitschke. Vince Lombardi. Bart Starr. Paul Hornung. Those Packers set the standard. “I could say, ‘Look up at those names. Know who they are. Study them,’ ” Browns president Mike Holmgren said Thursday. “For the young players coming into the league, there’s no better example than the men who are going to be in our ring of honor.” The Browns will unveil a ring of honor with the names of their great players during a halftime ceremony on Sept. 19. Jim Brown, stripped of his senior advisor title by Holmgren, has not committed to attending the event. Brown is one of 16 Hall of Famers whose names will be permanently displayed on the facing of the stadium’s upper deck — an honor Holmgren feels is long overdue. Among the other Browns legends to be honored in the initial ring of honor class are coach Paul Brown, quarterback Otto Graham and kicker/tackle Lou Groza.  Rookie running back Montario Hardesty is practicing for the first time since injuring his right knee during a pretraining camp workout. Hardesty sustained a bone bruise to his knee during a 1-on-1 tackling drill before Cleveland’s veterans reported to camp. PATRIOTS FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — A person familiar with the deal says New England Patriots placekicker Stephen Gostkowski has agreed to a contract extension. Boston media outlets are reporting the extension is worth nearly $14 million and is through the 2014 season. CARDINALS NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Matt Leinart has been benched after just two preseason games, this after the Arizona Cardinals gave him the starting job following Kurt Warner’s retirement. It could be just a temporary move — or maybe not. “Well, I don’t think we’ve played really well enough offensively to make any determination other than we need to get better,” Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said Thursday. “We’re looking at different combinations of people.” What Leinart will be looking at is Derek Anderson, signed to be his backup, starting Saturday night in Chicago. BEARS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Linebacker Brian Urlacher will miss Saturday’s game as he nurses a left calf muscle strain. STEELERS PITTSBURGH — Safety Ryan Clark will sit out Sunday’s exhibition game in Denver because playing at a high altitude can trigger a red blood cell condition that caused him to lose his spleen and gall bladder after a 2007 game there. Clark also didn’t play in a regular season game in Denver last season. GIANTS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Starting center Shaun O’Hara, dealing with left Achilles’ tendinitis and ankle swelling, was placed in a hard cast and will likely miss the remainder of the preseason.

aaron Francisco (47) watches as santonio Holmes makes a game-winning td catch in the super Bowl.

Francisco remains in limbo BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — There would inevitably be smiles and chuckles each time a list showing a team’s “top acquisitions” would circulate this offseason and Aaron Francisco would appear in Carolina’s column. Still, while he was there by default because the Panthers made no big-name signings, Francisco has played in the last two Super Bowls and was supposed to be a key cog on special teams, an area where the Panthers desperately needed help. Only now a lingering, ugly looking hamstring injury is putting Francisco’s once secure roster spot in jeopardy. “I can definitely say it’s the most frustrated I’ve been in my career,” Francisco said Thursday, “to be out here on a new team trying to earn a job and then not be able to get on the field. Hopefully, I can get back soon enough, before the last preseason game.” Francisco needed only to lift his shorts slightly to reveal the bloody bruising on the back of his left thigh Thursday to indicate why he was again sidelined after practicing some a day earlier. He first suffered what he called a partial tear of his hamstring on Aug. 3, the sixth day of training camp. Close to returning, he re-injured it on the last day of camp on Aug. 18 as he did conditioning drills. That’s when the muscle started bleeding and the bruising occurred. It had gone away by Wednesday, so Francisco tried to practice. But he experienced intense pain and the bruising was back Thursday. The Hawaii native can now only hope he’ll be fit to play in Carolina’s final preseason game Sept. 2 at Pittsburgh. If not, the coaching staff will face a tough decision when final cuts come two days later, even though the 27-year-old Francisco has an impressive resume with Arizona and Indianapolis. “Yeah, I’m a little concerned. I haven’t been able to show the coaches what I can do,” Francisco said. “Normally I can push through injuries and play through them, but it’s my first time ever having a hamstring injury. It’s the one thing you

aaron Francisco, right, gives way to running back Mike Goodson. can’t push, or it will just set you back even further.” While Francisco is perhaps best known for desperately trying to push Pittsburgh’s Santonio Holmes out of bounds on his game-winning touchdown catch in the Super Bowl two years ago, he’s carved out a career as a solid special teams player after going undrafted out of BYU in 2005. After leading the Cardinals in special teams tackles in 2006, Francisco spent two seasons as Arizona’s special teams captain and fill-in starter at safety. He was playing that role when Holmes caught the winning TD in the Super Bowl at the end of the 2008 season. Francisco still catches some grief from Cardinals fans, but he insists Holmes wasn’t his assignment. “Fans, they see the guy close to the ball and they automatically assume it’s that guy’s fault,” Francisco said. “But any football player who knew what coverage we were in and what route we got would know that wasn’t my main responsibility on that play.” It turned out to be his final game in Arizona, and Francisco acknowledged it “caught me off guard” when he was let go in final cuts before last season. Francisco quickly signed with

the Colts two days later. He was inactive for six straight games late in the season, but started the final two at strong safety and played on special teams in his second straight Super Bowl — another loss. “Great experiences,” he said. “Obviously, I would have liked to have won at least one of them, but it’s always good to go.” The Colts didn’t offer the restricted free agent a contract tender this spring, but Francisco quickly received interest from other teams. The Panthers intrigued him because last season they ranked 29th in punt return coverage, 30th in kickoff return coverage and had openings in a young secondary. “I had some other options, but this definitely I thought was the best fit for me,” Francisco said. But he’s only been able to watch as Carolina’s coverage teams have struggled again and rookie Jordan Pugh has moved up the depth chart at safety. Francisco expressed frustration on Thursday as he glanced down to his bad left leg, uncertain if he’ll have a job in Week 1. “We got a pretty good look at him in the OTAs and minicamp, but he’s got some catching up to do,” coach John Fox said. “Hopefully, he can do it in the next two weeks.”

Owens, Ochocinco getting along great

Made-for-TV Jets a big, bleepin’ hit BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Here’s a four-letter word everyone’s using these days: J-E-T-S. When it comes to juicy story lines and colorful personalities, the big-talking, foulmouthed New York Jets have the perfect cast of characters. Made for TV? No bleepin’ doubt about it. “This is who we are,” said Rex Ryan, the Jets’ brash and unabashed coach. “Some people are going to like us and some people are not. At the end of the day, we want to paint an accurate picture of who we are.” The Jets are suddenly the most entertaining club in the league — thanks to a surprisingly good 2009, a bunch of off-season moves and, most of all, their turn as TV’s newest reality stars. Millions of viewers have been getting an eyeful and earful of the Jets this summer

on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” The series covers preseason with the team, cuss words and all — and there are a lot of them. Snooki and the gang from “Jersey Shore?” They’ve got nuthin’ on Gang Green. “There’s certainly a lot of different things going on around here,” says veteran quarterback Mark Brunell, who joined the Jets last month. Among those things: There’s Ryan and his players saying whatever’s on their minds. A heartthrob quarterback in Mark Sanchez, who’s trying to take the next step to stardom in his second year. Darrelle Revis’ bitter contract dispute. Braylon Edwards’ bushy beard that became a trending topic on Twitter. Antonio Cromartie’s eight children. And, of course, all that championship chatter. Love ’em or hate ’em, people can’t help but talk about ’em, all around the league. “They’re the team for it right now,” Tennessee fullback Ahmard Hall says.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Sam Bradford passed his first test as a starting quarterback in the NFL. And the player who ended the game at that position for the Rams, Keith Null, directed a drive that set up Josh Brown’s 37-yard field goal on the final play to give St. Louis a 36-35 exhibition win over the New England Patriots on Thursday night. Bradford, the top pick in this year’s draft, was poised and precise in playing the first half. He went 15 for 22 for 189 yards after struggling as a backup in his first two games. But Tom Brady threw touchdown passes on three consecutive drives, and the Patriots (2-1) turned a 27-14 deficit into a 35-27 lead. St. Louis (2-1) rallied for a 2-yard touchdown run by Keith Toston and the gamewinning field goal. Brady finished with 18 completions in 22 attempts for 273 yards. Bradford completed his first six passes and threw for two touchdowns in his first start since last October. Packers 59, Colts 24 GREEN BAY, Wis. — Aaron Rodgers extended his sharp start to the preseason, throwing for 195 yards and three touchdowns in the first half of the Green Bay Packers’ 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts at Lambeau Field on Thursday. It was a costly night for the Colts. Running back Joseph Addai left the game in the third quarter with a concussion and linebacker Gary Brackett hurt his right hand. Peyton Manning made plenty of big plays against a porous Packers pass defense early on, but Rodgers was up for an offensive exhibition against one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Trailing 17-7 early in the second quarter, Rodgers rallied the Packers (2-1) to a 28-17 halftime lead. Adding to the injury problems for Indianapolis (0-3), cornerback Jacob Lacey left the game with a concussion, offensive tackle Tony Ugoh hurt his toe and defensive tackle Antonio Johnson sustained a groin injury. The Packers lost cornerback Brandon Underwood to a shoulder injury, defensive lineman Jarius Wynn to a concussion and linebacker Desmond Bishop to a hamstring injury. Manning threw for 214 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He stayed in the game for one series after halftime, only to have things turn ugly. Manning was hit and stripped of the ball by outside linebacker Frank Zombo, an undrafted free agent making a bid for a roster spot, and it was scooped up by linebacker Robert Francois — who delivered a hard hit Addai when the running back tried to tackle him, leaving him woozy on the sideline.

rex ryan led New York to the aFc title game last season.

CINCINNATI — Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco are getting along great as teammates. No grousing, no sulking, no one-upmanship. The Cincinnati Bengals see no reason why this pairing of diva receivers shouldn’t stay that way. When the Bengals signed Owens to a one-year deal at the start of training camp, the overriding question was how he would get along with Ochocinco, who is a close friend but craves the spotlight. So far, Ochocinco has gone out of his way to share it. Ochocinco has dubbed the two of them Batman and Robin, embracing the subservient role of Boy Wonder. When the two of them took the field together for the first time, Ochocinco let the newcomer make a grand entrance, following several steps behind. These cable reality show hosts seem to be hitting it off.

“We push each other without even saying it,” Owens said. “Us having super powers, being super friends — Batman and Robin — it’s that quiet confidence we have in each other, that quiet push we have for each other to get better.” In the locker room and on the field, it’s noticeable. The Bengals signed Owens looking as another deep threat to complement Ochocinco, who saw blanket coverages last season. After three preseason games, Owens is their leading receiver with nine catches for 108 yards. His 43-yard catch against Philadelphia last week was an example of what they’d been missing. The Bengals finished 26th in passing last season, unable to throw the ball deep very often. “That’s an example of what we hope to keep pressing for and get,” coach Marvin Lewis said. “We’ve got to get some vertical plays in, and we’ll keep pushing to try to get some.”

King James works out with ’Canes

Charlotte to play Morehead State

Associated Press

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — LeBron James went back to school Thursday, working out against the Miami Hurricanes. “You need to come out to the football field and show ur skills for us,” Hurricanes defensive back DeMarcus Van Dyke wrote to James on Twitter as news spread of the MVP’s visit to campus.  SAN ANTONIO — Danny Ferry is returning to the San Antonio Spurs to be vice president of basketball operations.  KAYSERI, Turkey — Philadelphia 76ers forward Andres Nocioni won’t play for Argentina at the world championships because of a left ankle injury.

CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte 49ers football program has scheduled its first opponent. The school announced on Thursday it’s entered into a home-and-home series with Morehead State. The 49ers will visit the Eagles in their first season on Nov. 23, 2013.

UNC FroM 1B

COLLEGE HOOPS LEXINGTON, Ky. — A New Year’s Eve showdown with rival Louisville and a trip to Hawaii highlight Kentucky’s 2010-11 schedule. The Wildcats head west for the Maui Invitational Nov. 22-24 before playing at North Carolina on Dec. 4.  KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee will travel to Pittsburgh, Connecticut and Charlotte as part of its 2010-2011 schedule.

NHL TORONTO — A top official of the National Hockey League Players’ Association denied reports that Donald Fehr, the former leader of baseball’s players’ union, accepted an offer to take the top job at the NHLPA.  PITTSBURGH — The Penguins won’t re-sign forward Bill Guerin, preferring instead to give several young forwards a chance to play on one of their top lines.

BOXING Former welterweight champion Antonio Margarito was approved to fight in Texas. That clears the way for a potentially lucrative fight against pound-forpound king Manny Pacquiao at Cowboys Stadium in November.

TENNIS NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Three Russian women played their way into the Pilot Pen semifinals, while topseeded Caroline Wozniacki advanced without ever taking the court. Wozniacki’s opponent in the quarterfinals, Italy’s Flavia Pennetta, withdrew with a foot injury. The Danish star will play Elena Dementieva today. Maria Kirilenko will play Nadia Petrova in the other semifinal.

Morehead will play at Charlotte a year later on Nov. 22. It’s the first big move by athletic director Judy Rose since North Carolina Gov. Beverly Perdue signed off on a funding bill earlier this month for Charlotte’s football stadium. Rose must still hire a coach and try to get the 49ers in a Football Championship Subdivision league.

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU coach Les Miles has stressed since last season ended that he would have higher expectations for junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson. So far, apparently, so good. “If Jordan continues to improve at the rate he is now, he’ll be ready to play quality football,” Miles said after watching Jefferson in the Tigers’ third scrimmage. While Miles hasn’t officially named Jefferson as his starting quarterback over Jarrett Lee, he is obviously pleased with what has seen. The Tigers open the season against North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta on Sept. 4. SOUTH CAROLINA COLUMBIA, S.C. — Several South Carolina football players received discounted rates to stay at a local hotel. The State newspaper reported Thursday the players were given discounts lower than those available to the public, which could be considered an extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules. Players received a rate of $450 a month while school officials determined the cost should’ve been about $1,200 a month. The players were asked to pay the difference to the hotel. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier told the players last week to pay their bills and find other living arrangements. Spurrier said Wednesday that South Carolina would not dispute any penalties given out by the NCAA. ALABAMA TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama coach Nick Saban says talks are ongoing in seeking a solution to the problem of rule-breaking agents. Saban said there have been “several conference calls” with other coaches, the NFL, the NFL Players Association, the NCAA and the American Football Coaches Association.

He says he’s pleased with “how aggressively everybody has moved to try to solve this problem.” The other coaches involved in the initial call included Florida’s Meyer, Texas’ Mack Brown, Ohio State’s Jim Tressel and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops. FLORIDA GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer says highly touted freshmen Ronald Powell and Dominique Easley are “all good” after missing practice this week. Powell and Easley skipped part of practice Tuesday, setting off a wild two days of rumors, speculation and innuendo. SOUTHERN CAL LOS ANGELES — Southern California has been stripped of the 2004 Grantland Rice Trophy, which is awarded by the Football Writers Association of America to the nation’s top college football team. The organization said Thursday that a committee of current and former officers voted to revoke the honor after USC was penalized for NCAA violations. It did not award the trophy to another school. TEXAS AUSTIN, Texas — Texas senior right guard Tray Allen has not recovered from a left foot injury and will miss the first game against Rice. NOTRE DAME SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Inside linebacker Anthony McDonald (knee) has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for Notre Dame’s opener against Purdue on Sept. 4. MISSOURI COLUMBIA, Mo. — Missouri has suspended starting tailback and team captain Derrick Washington indefinitely. ILLINOIS CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Safety Supo Sanni is out for the season after tearing his right Achilles’ tendon.

The announcement came nine days before the No. 18 Tar Heels’ opener against No. 21 LSU in Atlanta and roughly two months after the NCAA began an investigation into whether two key players — defensive tackle Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little — received improper benefits from agents. Defensive line coach John Blake’s longtime friendship with California-based agent Gary Wichard also has drawn the NCAA’s interest. Joint interviews conducted by NCAA and school investigators during that probe led them to a player who “raised an issue that we felt like deserved further consideration on our part,” Baddour said. “It led us down a road that brought us to what we’re talking about.” While the investigation is centered on the football program, Baddour said “we will certainly use the opportunity to take a complete look at everything that we’re doing in the academic support program.” Davis declined to identify the tutor in question except to say she was one of the five his family had hired since their 2007 arrival in Chapel Hill to serve as an academic coach and advisor for his teenage son. “This is someone that obviously worked with our son,” Davis said. “To be honest with you, I think we’re really surprised and possibly disappointed, but there’s been no revelation as to exactly the extent or what has actually transpired.” Baddour declined to provide additional details about the tutor, except to say that “the person was in (the university’s) employ. When we found out about the issues, the tutor was not in our employ.” Baddour said the university has assembled a team to investigate the academic questions. While there is no timetable to resolve that aspect of the probe, “it is likely that the review would extend beyond the start of the season,” he said.

WOODS FroM 1B He didn’t miss much at Ridgewood Country Club. Woods hit all but one fairway and putted for birdie on all but two holes. And while he hit his driver only twice, they were two of his best shots of the day — including on the 291-yard fifth hole, where his drive landed pin-high and settled 15 feet away. Was it just a coincidence that his game showed up so soon after his marriage was dissolved? “I can’t really say that’s the case,” he said. “As far as golf, it was nice to put it together.” Woods and Taylor both played in the morning, when the greens were smooth and the conditions were only breezy. They had a one-shot lead over Adam Scott, Brian Gay and Ryan Palmer. Scott played in the afternoon, where a gust of wind played tricks on him at the final hole and led to bogey. Scott endured a long day in the pro-am Wednesday and didn’t think Ridgewood would serve up a 65 to anyone. “Seeing some good scores this morning made me change my mind,” he said. That one of those scores belonged to Woods was hardly a surprise. “For him to piece things together can’t be too hard,” Scott said. “He’s very good.” The last time Woods’ was atop the leaderboard after any round of any tournament was when he won the Australian Masters on Nov. 15, less than two weeks after his life caved in on him — the car crash after Thanksgiving night, details of adultery, five months away from the game and a broken marriage, which officially ended Monday.

tiger Woods hits from a bunker on the 11th hole during the ﬁrst round of the Barclays. His golf hasn’t been very good either, which is why Woods began the FedEx Cup playoffs 112th out of 125 players who qualified. He was so low down the list that he was first to tee off under a sunny sky at Ridgewood, the first time he’s done that in his PGA Tour career. It worked to his advantage. “With fresh greens, everybody in our group was making putts on the front nine,” Woods said. “You had to get it today.” And he did. The 65 was his lowest

score in 46 rounds, dating to a 62 in the BMW Championship last year. Taylor grinned when asked if he was surprised to see Woods’ name on the leaderboard. “Somewhat, you know?” he said. “It’s good to see him back up top.” With sunshine and a light breeze, conditions were ripe for scoring. Palmer had a chance to join the leaders until a three-putt bogey on the 18th put him at 66. Even though the greens became bumpy in the afternoon after so much foot traffic, the

course was soft enough to allow for good scores. There were 14 players who shot 67, including Davis Love III, defending champion Heath Slocum and Stewart Cink. Phil Mickelson, with his ninth chance in the last four months to replace Woods at No. 1 in the world, made only one birdie for a 72. For Woods, the timing could not have been better. Only the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings advance to the second round of the playoffs next week in

BUTCH DAVIS If that happens, he said the school will decide if those players will play against LSU, and Baddour said that decision could come as late as gameday. “The investigation now has two prongs, so I want to caution you against making assumptions if student-athletes don’t play,” Baddour said. Davis did acknowledge that, starting on Monday, he moved some players around the depth chart as part of a contingency plan in case they aren’t permitted to play. He did not specify which players have risen or fallen. “Before the start of training camp, because there was speculation on some of these issues, we made a statement ... that there would come a point in time in preparation for this first game where we would have to prepare with the players that we assumed that we would be able to compete and play with,” Davis said. “That’s what we’ve done.” Chancellor Holden Thorp — who began the news conference by saying “to everyone who loves this university, I’m sorry about what I have to tell you” — vowed that administrators are taking the probe seriously but expressed hope that its scope ultimately would be limited. “We will find out what happened. We will do everything we can to keep it from happening again,” he said. “And we will not let these mistakes define our university and what we stand for.”

the Deutsche Bank Championship. Woods at least needs to make the cut, then finish in the middle of the pack. He had a better solution. “I figure if I win, I should be OK,” Woods said. For one of the few times this year, he gave himself ample reason to believe that. Woods opened with a 3-wood down the middle of the fairway, a pitching wedge to 15 feet below the hole and a birdie putt. More followed, even on the par 5s, which have given Woods fits in recent months. He mostly used his 3-wood off the tee, figuring that was enough to reach the corners without having to take on the tops of trees that line the fairways. Plus, with saturated conditions from rain earlier in the week, tour officials allowed players to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway. “With the ball in hand, it’s much more important to hit the fairways,” Woods said. It was the first time since the 2006 British Open at Royal Liverpool that he hit his 3-wood off the tee on every par 5. The two times he hit the driver turned out to be two of his best shots of the day. After the tee shot on the par-4 fifth — only six players hit that green off the tee — Woods used driver into the wind on the 18th, hitting it so well that he had only a 7-iron into the green. He hit a punch shot to just over 6 feet for a final birdie. “It was just a low, bullet fade right around the corner,” he said. “It was just the shape of the shot, because it was different than most of the 3-woods I played all day. I didn’t hold a single 3-wood. I was turning them over. Now, the shape of the driver in the complete opposite direction ... and I hadn’t hit a driver since the fifth hole.”

Are stress and baldness linked? The odds are good, but at a price

Dear Dr. Gott: My husband has been taking Simply Sleep by Tylenol nightly for more than a year. I feel it is

harmful to the body. There’s no warning on the label that states it causes liver damage, but other sleep aids have the warning. Dear Reader: Simply Sleep is an antihistamine that contains diphenhydramine, a common ingredient in several sleep aids. It was designed for occasional sleeplessness and difficulties falling asleep. I agree with your view and don’t believe it is meant to be taken every night. Nonetheless, I don’t know his complete medical history, whether he eats properly, exercises, is under stress, or works a swing shift. Many factors can come into play here. Your husband should speak with his physician for an opinion on the matter. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Sleep/Wake Disorders.” 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 order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD. com. United FeatUre Syndicate

Whenever I run a deal like this one, I wonder about the percentages and whether it really is worth worrying about bad breaks. In the real world they happen less often than in newspaper columns. West leads the spade queen against three notrump. How can South guarantee his contract? Although I believe a two-no-trump opening should show 21 or 22 points, good 20s count. And that South hand is a good 20 because of the four aces and one king. If you count two points for an ace and one for a king, a two-no-trump opening will normally have seven points. This hand has nine. The only drawbacks are no intermediates (10s and

9s) and the 4-3-3-3 distribution. Declarer has six top tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and two clubs. He can easily get three more from the diamonds, but it

looks tempting to try for an overtrick. Assume he plays a club to dummy’s king, planning to run the diamond eight. East’s discard will be a body blow. West will duck this diamond trick and the next. Then South will get only three diamond tricks and eight in all. However, suppose at trick two declarer cashes his diamond ace, then continues diamonds. West may hold up his king until the fourth round of the suit, but the club king is in the dummy as an entry to reach the last diamond, and the contract makes. West will have all four diamonds only 4.8 percent of the time. And when South starts with his diamond ace, he will drop the singleton king 12.4 percent of the time. Over 100 deals South would be a little more than 1,000 points better off by taking the diamond-ace safety-play.

Dear Reader: I’m not all that sure your son suffers from alopecia, an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system DR. PETER attacks hair follicles. In GOTT most cases, with the various types of alopecia, hair falls out in small patches about the size of a quarter. It can regrow in the same areas but may fall out again, repeating the pattern. Severe cases result in complete loss of hair over the entire body. Treatment to promote hair growth may include minoxidil (Rogaine), topical creams and corticosteroids. An individual suffering from alopecia will not ordinarily have other autoimmune difficulties but could have an increased incidence of nasal allergies, atopic eczema, asthma and thyroid disorder. Most people shed up to 100 hairs every day and don’t bald. And thinning hair

is often a part of the aging process that occurs because of hormonal changes. Balding occurs when the rate hair sheds surpasses the rate it grows. Causes can include having diabetes or lupus; scalp infection such as ringworm; a hair-pulling disorder, such as exhibited with mental illness; medical treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation for cancer; use of specific medications for arthritis, high blood pressure, some cardiac conditions or gout; several forms of alopecia; and still more. A specific diagnosis can be made through scalp scrapings and other methods. Your son may have a hormonal or medical disorder. I would defer to his primary-care physician regarding involving a dermatologist. Rogaine is an over-thecounter medication to slow hair loss and promote new growth for androgenic alopecia and alopecia areata. It is rubbed onto the scalp twice daily, and it may take up to 12 weeks before any progress is seen. It is up to your son to determine whether he can adapt to early baldness or whether he is so concerned that he chooses to consider a wig, surgical implant or medication. If he is under a great deal of stress at work or in his private life, he may wish to address that issue as well.

R126691

Dear Dr. Gott: My son has a bald spot on the back of his head. His doctor said it was stress-related alopecia. His hair grew back and his scalp was normal, but the bald spot reappeared, bigger, and is lasting much longer. So his doctor told him to buy Rogaine. Am I correct that now he should see a dermatologist? I don’t think he’s stressed.
