RCCC trims and prioritizes capital improvement plans BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

The addition of a $7.8 million general classroom building to RowanCabarrus Community College’s North Campus has been nixed from the college’s immediate plans. College officials had to trim $6 million from their list of capital improvements after the Rowan County Board of Commissioners voted to reduce the requested $18 million bond referendum to $12 million. Rowan-Cabarrus President Dr. Carol Spalding said instead of building a new facility, the college will focus on expanding existing struc-

tures. “We’ve worked with our architects in trying to get the most for our dollars,” she said. • • • College officials decided to seek a bond referendum after the county board denied their request for nearly $3.9 million to repair and renovate aging facilities on the North Campus. Robert Keeney, RCCC vice president, said the funding allocations the college received from Rowan and Cabarrus counties have limited monies for capital improvements. “The real problem this year is county budgets are leveled and

slightly down,” he said. “Insurance and utilities are not slightly down, so we’ve had to tighten our belts in regards to county budgets.” County funding makes up about $3.7 million of RCCC’s nearly $68 million 2010-11 operating budget, which was adopted by the board of trustees Monday. The college had been operating on continuing budget until state legislators finalized budget allocations. Although state funding tops $38 million, Keeney said money is only available for operational uses such as institutional and academic support.

RCCC signs STEM agreement B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Rowan-Cabarrus Community College took a step to equip children in grades kindergarten through 12 with the tools to be successful 21st century learners Monday. RCCC President Dr. Carol Spalding signed an agreement with the North Carolina Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Community Collaborative program during a meeting of its

board of trustees. Rowan and Cabarrus counties were selected to develop a K-12 STEM program with support of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Batelle Memorial Institute and N.C.

Steinmans Mower accident claims life Man pinned underwater after lawnmower rolls over into pond buy Hardiman furniture building BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

Farm owner, William ‘Bill’ Russell, is covered in scrapes and mud from trying to pull the lawnmower off of the victim. B Y S HELLEY S MITH ssmith@salisburypost.com

A Cleveland man died Monday after being pinned underwater by a riding lawnmower for 26 minutes. Genovevo “Johnny” Garcia, 53, of 3895 Needmore Road, was unresponsive when medical responders pulled him from the pond. They performed CPR and took Garcia by ambulance to Davis Regional Medical Center in Statesville, where a doctor pronounced him dead. The accident happened on a farm near Cleveland just before 11:20 a.m. Monday. William “Bill” Russell, who owns the farm at 1285 Phifer Road, said Garcia had been mowing the grass along the edge of a pond on the property when the mower tipped over and rolled into the water on top of Garcia. Russell said he saw Garcia fall into the pond and drove his four-wheeler over to the water to help. “He was just right around the edge there, going really slow, and he flipped over,” Russell said. “I went and tried to pull the mower off of him and tried to pull it off. It was a big mower, a Bobcat.” Russell, covered in mud from getting into the pond and trying to pull the mower off Garcia, said he couldn’t do much to help. He has a prosthetic leg, and the weight of the Bobcat proved too much for him. Another worker, James Reddick, said he was working on the hill near the home and heard the lawnmower cut off. Then he heard Russell yelling. “I thought he maybe hit something when I heard the

Al Hoffman, owner of Hardiman & Son in downtown Salisbury, has sold his building to Dr. Charles Steinman and will retire after 61 years in the furniture business. Hoffman, a cornerstone of the downtown community, hasn’t set a closing date. Steinman, a local veterinarian, bought the fourstory building at 131 E. Innes St. with his sons, Tim and Todd Steinman, and son-in-law Christopher Dunn. They plan an extensive redevelopment. “It’s a landmark building, a solid building,” he said. The family loves Salisbury, “and we’d like to do our part to maintain the downtown,” Steinman said. They plan to restore the front of the building to its original appearance, based on photos from 1924, Steinman said. Retail will occupy the first floor, with offices above. They have no plans yet for the full basement. “We are excited about it,” said Randy Hemann, executive director for Downtown Salisbury. Downtown needs additional office space, he said. “There’s not much on the market right now,” he said. “We need it in this size and configuration.” The design will allow smaller suites of offices on the second and third floors. The flexible first floor will offer retailers from 1,500 to 4,000 square feet, Hemann said. Hemann lauded Hoffman’s dedication to downtown, and Steinman called him the “patriarch of downtown citizens.” “Mr. Hoffman has been a pillar of the downtown for years, and he will certainly be missed,” Hemann said. Gray Stout is the architect and Bob Glover is the contractor for the redevelopment project. Steinman owns the Animal Care Center of Salisbury. He’s semi-retired and said he wanted to take on a project. “It’s kind of a challenge,” he said. The building sold for $250,000. Contact Emily Ford at 704-797-4264.

Kenny Payne, chief of Cleveland Fire Department, said when he and other first responders got to the scene, Russell had to show them where the mower went in. The deep water had all but swallowed it. “When we got in the water, we found he was turned over on his side and had his legs pinned underneath the mower,” Payne said. Four firefighters waded into the water and tried to lift the mower off Garcia, but they couldn’t. The firefighters eventually made a pulley system using Russell’s fourwheeler, a rope and a nearby tree to lift the mower off Garcia. Today’s forecast 99º/63º Brillliant sunshine

The N.C. Occupational Safety and Health Administration has started investigating an accident at a Salisbury business that claimed a man’s life last week. Maurice Jay Alexander, 40, of 512 Plymouth Ave., died Friday at Presbyterian Hospital, the day after an 800-pound bale of cardboard fell off a forklift and crushed him. The accident happened at Sonoco, a recycling facility at 300 E. Henderson St. where Alexander had worked eight years. Salisbury Police said Alexander was moving the cardboard bale on a forklift and stepped off to adjust something. As he stood in front of the forklift, the bale fell off the forks and onto him, pinning him against the forklift and crushing him. Medical reponders found Alexander unresponsive. They revived him with CPR, but he died the next day in the intensive care unit at Presbyterian. OSHA representative Neal O’Briant said Monday the agency has begun investigating the fatality. “Anytime there’s a workplace fatality, and anytime it’s an accident, we’ll open an investigation,” O’Briant said. Such an investigation can typically take

Payne said Garcia had no pulse when the firefighters pulled him from the water and tried to save his life. “We try to train for something like this our whole careers,” Payne said. “This time, he was under there just too long. It took us a while to get it off of him. The water was a lot deeper than we thought.” Russell said Garcia had worked for him a few hours every morning for the past three years and that he lived with one of his friends down

He was honest,” Russell said. “When we’d go out of town, he’d watch over.” Russell said Garcia has a brother in Mocksville, but he didn’t know of any other relatives.

“The real problem this year is county budgets are leveled and slightly down. Insurance and utilities are not slightly down, so we’ve had to tighten our belts in regards to county budgets.”

FROM 1a “We do not have the option to move money from the state operating budget to the county budget to pay for facilities,” Keeney said. “That’s why we are seeking a bond referendum.” The $12 million bond would pay for $2.4 million in campus accessibility and safety improvements, $7.3 million in campus-wide additions and renovations and $2.3 million for relocation, expansion and improvement of the fire-training grounds. Property taxes would increase an estimated 1.25 cents per $100 assessed value if voters pass the bond referendum. “The average cost for taxpayers will be about $12 a year, which is about the cost of a pizza,” Spalding said. “We’re asking people to give up one pizza for students. “Thousands of students will benefit from it.” • • • As the enrollment numbers continue to increase, Spalding said so does the need for renovation and expansion. “Our prolonged growth is one reason the college is asking Rowan County residents to support a $12 million bond for facility needs,” she said. “We simply have no more space at our North Campus to

with biotechnology,” she said. The school system is currently building a Biotechnology Academy at A.L. Brown, which will house courses such as molecular biology, international studies, engineering and culinary arts.

The report did show spending was up in July, but without consistent growth in income, any increase in spending is likely temporary, Gayle said. The Dow fell 140.92, or 1.4 percent, to close at 10,009.73. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 15.67, or 1.5 percent, to 1,048.92, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 33.66, or 1.6 percent, to 2,119.97.

cial or diplomat has been involved in any way in these discussions,” said Mike Otterson, who runs the church’s public affairs department. “This is purely between the leadership in Salt Lake City and the leadership in Beijing.” None of the discussions have addressed the possibility of church missionaries proselytizing in China, Otterson said. “That issue is not even under consideration,” Otterson said. It’s unclear how many Mormons are living in mainland China, although the church has had a presence in both Hong Kong and Taiwan for decades. Otterson said talks with the Chinese reflect the development of a relationship over 30 years. “The church deeply appreciates the courtesy of the Chinese leadership in opening up a way to better define how the church and its members can proceed with daily activities, all in harmony with Chinese law,” Otterson said.

Stocks drop as investors enter week cautiously NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks fell in thin trading Monday after more signs of slowing economic growth got investors worried ahead of a key report on jobs later this week. The Dow Jones industrial average lost ground throughout the day and closed with a loss of 141 points. Other indexes also fell more than 1 percent. Bond prices rose, sending interest rates lower, as money moved back into the Treasury market. The latest cause for worry on the economy came in a report early Monday showing that personal incomes rose less than expected in July. That added to a series of discouraging economic indica-

Paradowski said his focus will now shift toward making sure the bond referendum passes in November. “We’re certainly going to need every board member to work with us in one way or another,” he said. “You are the best advocates we have in the community. “We have to go out and bring the message to the people of Rowan.” Spalding said board members have already started meeting with consultants to come up with a strategy. “We’re now involved in looking at how we’re going to market this to the community,” she said. The RCCC Foundation has contributed $25,000 to the campaign and the Student Government Association has pledged to provide $10,000 and 300 volunteer hours. SGA president Dawn Evans said she’s already had many students approach her asking how they could lend a hand. “The students see the need,” she said. “We really want to help get this passed.” Contact Sarah Campbell at 704-7977683.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church is in talks with the People’s Republic of China to improve relations for church members living in mainland China, church officials said in a statement Monday. The discussions are aimed at ensuring that members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are practicing their faith within the boundaries of Chinese law, the church said. The talks were initiated by a senior Chinese government official, who was not identified by name in the statement. Dallin H. Oaks, a member of the church’s senior leadership circle, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and Elder Donald L. Hallstrom, who both oversee church operations in Asia attended meetings in Beijing in February and May. A third meeting was held Aug. 24 in Salt Lake City between a Chinese official and the 13 million-member faith’s First Presidency. “No U.S. government offi-

Man charged with stealing copper

CHURCHES ADOPT BRENNER AVENUE

Air conditioning units from new PetSmart building dismantled and stripped of valuable metal Police arrested a Charlotte man they say had climbed onto the roof of the former Circuit City building Sunday night to steal copper. A Salisbury Police Department report said someone called police after they saw someone walking around inside the store. When officers arrived, they spotted a man on the roof and called the Salisbury Fire Department. Police say they found Charles David Booth, Jr., 39, 7815 Jefferson Colony Road, Charlotte, atop the building with $10,000 worth of copper he had stripped from air conditioning units. Booth had an accomplice, poBOOTH lice say, but he got away. Investigators say the accomplice was there to take the copper as Booth lowered it down off of the roof. Eight air conditioning units had been gutted. Police didn’t know if they were all from that building — which is to reopen as a PetSmart — or from other businesses as well. Police charged Booth with one count of felony breaking and entering. He was jailed under $25,000 bond.

Adopting from the Rowan County Animal Shelter keeps cats and dogs out of danger by giving them homes, but it also comes with a risk that two sisters said left them heartbroken. Della Woodard, of Salisbury, said when she went to the Rowan County Animal Shelter to adopt a puppy, her heart went out to a skinny dog — listed as a pit bull mix but possibly a Lab mix — who “looked desperate.” She adopted it on a Saturday earlier this month and named it Bo Desperado. “I’m Native American, and I believe we were all created by the same being — a creator, God,” Woodard said. “He created birds, horses, cats, dogs — all of us. Our job on this Earth is to learn to love and to take care of all our brothers and sisters.” Following the animal shelter’s requirement for a veterinarian visit within three business days, Woodard took the dog to Lazy 5 Ranch Veterinary Hospital that Monday. There, she said, the doctor told her Bo Desperado had a bad case of intestinal worms and was showing early signs of parvovirus, an often deadly canine disease. Mindy Roberts, Woodard’s sister, said the veterinarian sent the dog home with vitamin supplements and worm medicine. By Tuesday morning, it had died. “Our hearts were broken,” said Roberts, who was planning to share Bo Desperado with Woodard. “I sat up all night with the dog while it moaned and groaned.” Animal Control Supervisor Clai Martin said sad stories like this one aren’t common, but he does hear them. “We don’t have many that come back sick,” Martin said. “It doesn’t happen often. ... But every now and then, it’s going to happen.” Martin said a notice is visibly posted at the animal shelter that warns of the risks associated with adoption. These risks also are listed on a form that people must sign when adopting an animal. “We have on the form, ‘Adopter should be advised it’s possible that any animal at the shelter could have come in contact with the following,’ ” Martin said. The list includes parvo, distemper, intestinal worms, heart worms, mites, fleas, ticks, feline

Train conductor thought cyclist ran into train No evidence found as emergency officials search area around tracks Emergency personnel stopped railroad service as they searched about 40 minutes Monday morning for a cyclist who an Amtrack conductor thought had ridden into his train near Monroe Street. They called off the search around 9 a.m. without finding a cyclist. The train was pulling into the Salisbury Amtrak station around 8:20 a.m. and the train's conductor reported that he thought a cyclist hit the train near Monroe Street. With railroad traffic shut down in the area, emergency responders searched for the bicyclist from Monroe to Horah Street but were unable to find anyone. The conductor and train crew clarified afterward they did not actually see the cyclist hit the train, but lost track of the cyclist near the tracks and believed he may have run into the train.

When Zacharias Allen moved to Salisbury to attend Hood Theological Seminary in 1997, he lived in a low-income complex called Zion Hills Apartments. Now an ordained minister and teacher, Allen no longer qualifies for housing at Zion Hills, but he remains active with the community he found so beneficial. Allen and other members of two sister AME Zion churches that built the apartment complex — Soldiers Memorial and Moore’s Chapel — have adopted Brenner Avenue. They are working to keep the street in front of Zion Hills Apartments free of litter and set a good example in the process. “We want to be visible for the residents,” said Allen, an assistant pastor at Soldiers Memorial and teacher at Hopewell High School in Charlotte. The Salisbury Community Appearance Commission sponsors the adopt-a-street program, supplying bags, vests and gloves for any group will-

ing to take over litter patrol on a city street. “We’ve been talking a lot about citizens taking responsibility for the appearance of their community,” said Diana Moghrabi of Salisbury Community Planning Services. “There are those who do it, and they deserve a pat on the back.” The churches built the 50unit Zion Hills in 1971, when urban renewal had left few housing options for low-income people, said Herbert Chambers, president of the apartment’s board of directors. “Visionary people from both churches realized if we came together, we could build safe and affordable housing for the community,” said Chambers, recently retired after 28 years as the dean of developmental education at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College.

Using a federal loan, the churches purchased the land from Livingstone College, where Chambers was a student. The apartment complex scores well on annual federal inspections, Chambers said, and the board of directors wanted to extend the upkeep to Brenner Avenue. “We are trying to impress upon the residents the need to be involved in the community and lead by example,” he said. “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” A recent litter patrol included Allen, Chambers, Gordon Witt and Roy Leazer, all members of Moore’s Chapel or Soldiers Memorial. The churches have a strong spirit of cooperation. “Together, we can get so much more done,” Chambers said.

herbert chambers organized a group from Zion hills Apartments to adopt brenner Avenue. Two other groups are active members of the city’s adopt-astreet program, Moghrabi said. Greta Connor leads the cleanup of Sedgefield Acres, and Eldridge Williams organizes Livingstone College students to pick up the streets around the school.

In an effort to monitor and control its energy costs, Catawba College is partnering with Duke Energy on a yearlong energy management pilot program made possible by digital, smart-grid technology. Through the energy management program, seven large buildings on the Catawba campus are equipped with digital smart meters that gather energy usage data for each building. The data is then transmitted back to Duke Energy through a wireless communications system and to members of the campus community and the public at large through a campus-metering page on the college website. “We anticipate that the energy management program will enhance Catawba’s sustainability efforts,” College President Craig Turner said. “From an administrative point of view, it will allow us to be better stewards of our resources by tracking energy consumption in some key buildings on campus. It also affords our students an opportunity to learn about new technologies that can help reduce an institution’s carbon footprint. The program is really a teaching opportunity for the entire campus community.” Turner noted the ready availability of the data on the

college website also lends itself to student competitions as different buildings vie to lessen consumption. The Catawba College energy management program is the first of several university-based pilots Duke Energy has underway to assess the benefits of using digital metering and communications technology to give consumers more information, options and control. “Digital, smart-grid technology is changing how we do business and how we provide energy for our customers,” said Tom Fenimore, Duke Energy’s product development manager, who worked with Catawba on the pilot project. “By working with our customers to deliver more energy usage information more often, our customers can make more informed energy buying decisions which can help them save money while reducing their carbon footprint. “Partnering allows us to deliver value beyond the meter. The opportunity to understand how to use this technology to better educate our customers made the Catawba partnership an appealing one.” Buildings that are now individually metered include the Robertson College-Community Center, the Cannon Student Center, the Hedrick

Police find drugs in woman’s purse after arresting her several times. Helms said he noticed bleeding scratches on Stroud’s head, neck and chest. Helms arrested young for domestic assault and, as he was putting her in the patrol car, noticed a pill crusher on the ground beside her. Stroud told Helms that Young used the crusher to grind up pills so she could snort them. Helms searched the car and found several short straws

NC coast keeps a wary eye on Hurricane Earl RALEIGH (AP) — Town officials, emergency planners and hardware stores along North Carolina’s coast planned Monday for Hurricane Earl in hopes that the storm will deliver no more than a glancing blow as it travels north. Most of the preparations are in the preliminary stages: generators are being tested, gas tanks are being topped off and weather forecasts are being pored over for any indication that Earl, which reached Category 3 strength on Monday, will come any closer than several hundred miles off the state’s coast. “Nothing we’ve seen yet is showing it will make landfall, so we’re preparing for rain and heavy surf right now,” said Chris Layton, town manager of Duck. The Outer Banks, the fragile chain of barrier islands where Duck is located, is expected to get the brunt of any

weather and ocean conditions churned up by Earl, ranging from rip currents to heavy rain. In Duck and Nags Head, town officials were out videotaping their beaches Monday in case the storm causes significant erosion. Having beforeand-after records of what beaches look like helps with storm recovery, especially if disaster relief funding is available. In Nags Head, officials were also making sure the gas tanks of storm trucks, which rescue people in the event of flooding and help emergency crews get around in the aftermath of a storm, are full and that generators that can power town offices are in working order. That wait-and-see approach also prevailed among customers at the six Ace Hardware stores in the Outer Banks, according to operations man-

ager Kathy Seko, who was at the Manteo store on Monday. “So far, it’s mostly been people making inquiries about what we have and what they might need if it gets worse,” Seko said. Along with the standard supplies — tarp, duct tape, batteries, screws and drills for plywood — Seko said she is reminding customers not to forget items like manual can openers and even art supplies. “Waiting for a storm can seem like forever, especially if the power’s out,” she said. “You need to pass the time somehow.” The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Earl, which formed Sunday, has sustained winds of 120 mph (193 kph), and will likely gain strength. One potential track has the storm moving roughly parallel to the East Coast, possibly brushing North Carolina Thursday or Friday.

Several candidates for NC judge mean ranked voting

Lock cut, drinks stolen at Murphy Express

Arc of Rowan wins at state conference

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina voters will get to use a rare method for choosing an elected official in the November election. Eight candidates have filed to run for a Court of Appeals seat vacated recently by Judge Jim Wynn. A special one-week filing period ends Tuesday afternoon. The winner will serve on the state’s intermediate appeals court for the next eight years. Voters must use instant runoff voting when so many candidates run for a vacancy close to Election Day. The voters rank their top three candidates in order of preference. Second-place votes are counted if no one gets a majority of first-place votes. Candidates include Cressie Thigpen, whom Gov. Beverly Perdue chose to replace Wynn through December, and former Court of Appeals Judge Doug McCullough.

Police say someone cut a padlock to an outside refrigerator at the Murphy Express off Arlington Street and made off with a case of drinks. There’s no indication a criminal posing as a superhero was involved here, as has been the case at Murphy Express stores in two other cities, police say. Similar crimes have happened at the Lexington and Thomasville stores, with video surveillance footage showing a suspect wearing an Iron Man costume. Security video at the Salisbury store showed only a door swinging open, but no Iron Man, the Salisbury Police Department said. Officers responded to an alarm around 4:30 a.m. Sunday but the culprit had fled by the time they arrived. No arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing.

ENERGY FROM 3a Administration Building, Woodson Hall, Salisbury Rowan Hall, the Abernethy Physical Education Building and the Center for the Environment. These buildings represent approximately 50 percent of the electrical energy usage of the campus. Prior to the launch of the pilot program, Catawba administrators had no way to monitor energy consumption by building because all campus energy usage was routed through a single meter. “That made it particularly difficult to turn Energy Hogs into Green Pigs,” said Catawba Facilities Director Eric Nianouris, alluding to the on-campus sustainability campaign launched during the 2009-2010 academic year.

SHELTER FROM 3a leukemia and kennel cough. Martin said the shelter is required by state law to euthanize sick animals if an illness is discovered. It has no veterinarian on staff. Woodard said after she came back to the shelter with a note from the veterinarian, she was refunded the $70 adoption fee, but she is upset that she can’t get back the $115 bill paid for the checkup and treatment. “I would never have taken the dog if I’d known it was sick,” she said. Martin said the shelter’s policy is made clear in its notice and forms. “Rowan County Animal Control is not responsible for any veterinary bills that may result from the adoption of

The Arc of Rowan, a Rowan County United Way Agency and chapter of The Arc of NC, was honored at the organization’s recent annual conference in Wilmington Aug. 21. During the award presentations, The Arc of Rowan was recognized as one of the 2010 Distinguished Affiliates. Of the 32 Chapters, 12 chapters received this recognition. Shela Sapp of Salisbury was also honored with The Arc of NC Unsung Hero Award, an award not given every year but rather when The Arc of NC wants to recognize an employee of a smaller chapter whose advocacy efforts have affected the local community and people with disabilities. Sapp has worked for The Arc of Rowan for 19 years. Her hard work has made a positive impact on people in Rowan County with developmental disabilities and their families.

Launching the pilot program involved installation of wireless meters on Catawbaowned transformers. There are multiple meters in two of the monitored buildings. In the Abernethy Physical Education Building, two meters measure different services to that building — one for all electrical usage and another for the recently installed airconditioning units in the Goodman Gymnasium there. In the Center for the Environment, there are five meters; one measures the total building electrical usage, while others provide information on photovoltaic panels, overhead lighting, air-conditioning and plug outlet load. College officials hope to use the data to identify energy efficiency incentive opportunities available to the campus through Duke Energy, and to better understand how costs are allocated to

various buildings. The data tracked through the pilot program will also make its way into Catawba’s classrooms as part of the content in sustainability courses offered in several academic majors, including the Sustainability and Community Development major recently added at the college. Digital smart grid technologies are transforming today’s analog power delivery system into a digital, interconnected network that delivers new ways for utilities and consumers to work together to manage energy usage, save money and help the environment.

any animal,” the notice states. “A refund or exchange policy is implemented in the event that the animal you adopt, after receiving veterinary treatment, becomes sick and dies within a 30 day time period.” Martin said he hopes Woodard’s experience doesn’t discourage people from adopting pets from the animal shelter. “We do our best to adopt out healthy animals,” Martin said. “We try to find them all homes.” Woodard said she has two other rescue dogs — not from the county shelter — and was briefly worried about their health after they were exposed to the sick puppy. “They’re up on their shots, thank God,” she said. “If they did come down sick, it wouldn’t be life-threatening.” Corrie Connolly, a veteri-

narian with Lazy 5, said keeping pets up-to-date on vaccinations is important when introducing new ones to the home. Any illnesses transferred are then likely to be mild. “Anytime you have unvaccinated — or not properly vaccinated — animals, you have to be much more careful about that,” Connolly said. In that case, she said, it’s a good idea to quarantine the new pet for one to two weeks. The animal could be given to someone who doesn’t have any other pets, or simply kept in a separate room with limited human contact. “It’s all a matter of how careful you want to be,” Connolly said. “We do see some dogs that get adopted that get sick, but we don’t see many extreme cases.” Contact Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

She was placed under $1,500 bond. At the Rowan County jail, Helms found another straw and oxycodone pills in Young’s pocketbook, leading to the additional charges and an additional $5,000 bond.

Death penalty opponents cite NC lab concerns RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s criminal prosecutions are so tainted by racial bias and scientific fraud that the state should consider eliminating the death penalty, innocence advocates said Monday as they filed a brief supporting a death row prisoner’s claim of bias. “How can you ever purify a system that is so contaminated to allow any kind of death sentences be pursued or carried out?” asked Carol Turowksi, co-director of the Innocence & Justice Clinic at the Wake Forest University law school. “We’re at a point where there should be a moratorium at the very least and maybe there should be some focus on should we even maintain the death penalty in a system that’s never going to be perfect.” Turowski and others at a news conference cited evidence of racial bias in criminal sentences, particularly death penalty cases, and problems with the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab. Their brief

in support of Melvin White, however, focuses on his claim under the state’s Racial Justice Act, which allows death row inmates to use statistics and other evidence to prove racial bias resulted in the death sentences. Of the seven people released from North Carolina’s death row since 1973, only one was white, the advocates say in their brief, adding all were convicted of killing one white victim. Two also were accused of killing a black person. “Science matters. Race matters,” said Theresa Newman, co-director of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke University’s law school. “It all matters when we’re trying to convict the person who actually committed the crime.” Attorney Mark Rabil of Winston-Salem criticized the state-run crime lab, which has been under fire since February, when an SBI agent testified that analysts did not always include the complete re-

sults of blood tests on lab reports that were submitted to court. That hearing resulted in the exoneration and release of Greg Taylor, who had served almost 17 years in prison for the death of a Raleigh woman. That testimony led to an outside review of the SBI’s blood unit that was released last week. The scathing review found that eight analysts omitted, overstated or falsely reported blood evidence in dozens of cases, including three that ended in executions and another where two men were imprisoned for killing Michael Jordan’s father. “For years, the State Bureau of Investigation and its laboratory have tried to blind us with so-called science,” said Rabil, who represented Darryl Hunt, who was exonerated of a rape conviction in 2004. “For years, they have tried to dupe us with what they claim to be valid science when we know that truth is transparent.”

The only forensic evidence against Melvin White was based on SBI agent testimony linking a casing at the crime scene to ones found on a street corner in Arizona, his attorney said. “We now know that just because you wear a badge to court or carry a gun at your side when you come to testify doesn’t mean that what you have to say is true,” Rabil said. “ ... We also know that for years, our own subconscious biases have blinded us to socalled justice in this state, especially in the capital punishment system.” A spokeswoman for the Attorney General’s Office did not respond to a phone call or email requesting comment on the criticism of the death penalty or the lab. White, who was sentenced to death in 1996 for the slayings of a Craven County woman and her boyfriend, is one of 159 prisoners on North Carolina’s death row, of whom 151 have filed motions under

the act. They’re asking that their sentences be converted to life in prison without parole. Meanwhile, two retired prosecutors will help district attorneys fight motions filed by death row prisoners under the act. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Monday that retired Forsyth County District Attorney Tom Keith will help the 43 elected DAs in the state fight the motions, along with retired Wake County assistant DA Susan Spurlin.

They will work for the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys on the project. The motions for the death row prisoners cite a study by Michigan State University showing that a defendant is 2.6 times more likely to be sentenced to death if at least one of the victims is white. The study also showed that out of the 159 people on death row, 31 had all-white juries and 38 had only one person of color on their jury.

AROUND NC Jordan, Bobcats make donation to NC schools CHARLOTTE (AP) — Michael Jordan and his Bobcats NBA team will donate $250,000 to middle-school athletics programs in Charlotte, North Carolina’s largest city. The Charlotte Observer says the NBA hall-of-famer and North Carolina native will announce the gift Monday. Jordan, who made a fortune playing in the NBA and marketing his image as one of the world’s best-known athletes, talked about being a contributor to the Charlotte community when he bought the Bobcats this spring. “We investigated the situation. We looked for ways to help middle schools and this was one of the options presented to us,” Jordan said. “We took it because of the impact on middle schools and giving them the opportunity to play sports and as motivation for education as well.” Charlotte schools cut $1.25 million cut from athletics programs this year and school officials announced a plan to charge students $50 for middle-schoolers and $100 highschoolers who play. There are 32 middle schools in the Charlotte area with teams in 13 sports. About 6,500 students play middle school sports. Other organizations have made donations to the schools’ athletic programs, but the Bobcats’ is the largest. “What a great example of a group in the community stepping in to help kids,” Charlotte schools superintendent Peter Gorman said. “Sometimes we forget the impact of what happens on our fields and our courts and how it impacts what happens in the classrooms and beyond. This saves us from turning kids away.” Jordan attended middle school and high school in Wilmington before playing college basketball at the University of North Carolina and becoming one of the world’s best known athletes in the NBA. Bobcats President Fred Whitfield said the gift is evidence of Jordan’s commitment to the community. “Michael made it clear when he bought the team that this was a legacy play for him and he wanted to make a commitment to his North Carolina roots,” Whitfield said. “This is his commitment and it’s a great first step.”

NC sweepstakes group formed after Legislature ban RALEIGH (AP) — A new group representing programmers and owners of video poker-style games set to become illegal in North Carolina says it’s working to tweak their games to so they can stay in business. The group called the Internet-Based Sweepstakes Organization also said Monday it plans to advocate for legislation that would legalize video gaming and Internetbased games that could be taxed. The General Assembly this summer approved a ban on computer-based sweepstakes games which have the look of games found on traditional

video poker machines banned in 2007. Sweepstakes machine owners say their games are just marketing tools so customers will buy Internet time and office services. Organization President Chase Brooks said the group also is considering suing to challenge the ban.

NC farm produces emerald shaped into massive gem RALEIGH (AP) — A North Carolina farm has yielded an emerald that may be the biggest ever uncovered in North America. The 65-carat emerald nicknamed the Carolina Emperor was pulled from a farm in the rural community of Hiddenite, about 50 miles northwest of Charlotte. American Gem Trade Association CEO Douglas Hucker said Monday an emerald that big may be a record. He says its sale price will depend heavily on its clarity, color and cut. A respected New York gemologist who examined the emerald says it’s the largest cut found in North America. Gemologist C.R. “Cap” Beesley compares the stone to an emerald set in a brooch once owned by Empress Catherine the Great of Russia. The brooch sold at auction in April for $1.65 million.

NC Dems renaming Vance-Aycock event next year RALEIGH (AP) — The annual fundraising dinner held by North Carolina Democrats will not be called Vance-Aycock next year because one namesake preached white supremacy. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Monday that the state Democratic Party’s executive council decided this year the 50th Vance-Aycock dinner in Asheville in October will be the last under that name. Gov. Charles Aycock’s name has drawn more criticism recently because of his racial speeches leading to his 1900 election victory. Aycock previously has been revered for public education. It’s unclear whether the event will keep the name of Civil War Gov. Zebulon Vance. The state party convention in June passed a resolution asking the event be called Vance Lucas, after the late state Sen. Jeanne Lucas, who was black.

NC DAs get help fighting racial justice motions WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Two retired prosecutors will help district attorneys in North Carolina fight motions filed by death row prisoners under a law that allows the inmates to challenge their sentences based on racial bias. The Winston-Salem Journal reported Monday that retired Forsyth County District Attorney Tom Keith will help the 43 elected DAs in the state fight motions under the Racial Justice Act. Retired Wake County assistant DA Susan Spurlin will also be working with the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys

on the project. The law allows death row inmates to use statistics and other evidence to prove racial bias resulted in the death sentences. They are asking that their sentences be converted to life in prison without parole. Of the 159 inmates on death row, 151 have filed claims under the act.

Man who served on USS NC returns for tour WILMINGTON (AP) — Among the hundreds of people visiting the Battleship North Carolina on Saturday were four men who traveled from California on a special mission: to tour a vessel that played a key role in their family’s history. Born in 1924, Peter Polk wasn’t much older than his great-grandson Mackenzie, 16, when he reported aboard the USS North Carolina (BB55) as an ensign in 1944. “The experience changed me from a boy to a man,” Peter Polk said Saturday, as he toured the ship with Mackenzie, his son Chris and his grandson Adam. With the help of volunteer tour guides, as well as curator of collections Mary Ames Booker, Peter showed his relatives where he lived and served from Oct. 12, 1944, to February 1946. “It’s amazing. I can’t believe I’m standing where he was in World War II,” said Mackenzie, who lives in Los Angeles. Peter began planning the journey in May. “This is a very nostalgic trip for me,” said Peter, who lives in Dana Point, Calif., and hasn’t seen the battleship since he and his wife, Carol, visited 12 years ago. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” In 1944, Peter was promoted from ensign to lieutenant junior grade and assigned to the 2nd division. He served many roles on the ship, including aiming the 5-inch guns on the ship’s port side. During World War II, the ship participated in every major naval offensive in the Pacific and earned 15 battle stars. “We spent most of our time fueling destroyers and protecting carriers,” Peter said. He was on board during several major operations, including the assault on Iwo Jima. One of his scariest experiences, he said, was when the ship faced Typhoon Cobra in December 1944, one of two Pacific Ocean typhoons the North Carolina survived during the war. Admiral William Halsey had sailed Task Force 38 into the storm, which resulted in the loss of three destroyers — The USS Spence, the USS Monaghan and the USS Hull, according to www.typhooncobra1944.net. Another and better memory for Peter was how his wedding day came about, a story shared on the Battleship North Carolina’s website, www.battleshipnc.com. He met his wife, Carol, on a blind date while attending Stanford University. When Peter left Stanford to continue his studies in Colorado and then Columbia University, he and Carol kept in touch. After Peter returned to Stanford in 1943, he asked Carol to marry him. She agreed that when-

ever and wherever the North Carolina landed in the United States, she would meet him for their wedding day. The landing site turned out to be Boston, and on October 20, 1945, Carol and Peter were married, with several of the ship’s other officers attending the event. As more of the battleship’s veterans get older, hearing stories about the war from one of them firsthand is a privilege, said Frank Glossl, a volunteer tour guide who helped show the Polk family around Saturday. “It’s just a thrill, when any of the veterans come back, to meet and talk to them,” Glossl said. “When you get four generations of the same family coming back, it’s a real treat.”

Authorities allege Marvin shot Wallace and Tokuoka, then barricaded himself in his home in Hoonah, a Native village on an island about 40 miles west of Juneau. Wallace died during surgery in Juneau, while Tokuoka died at a Hoonah clinic. Marvin surrendered Monday morning following a standoff with authorities. During the standoff, troopers and other law enforcement agencies maintained their positions through the night into Monday, authorities said.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man charged in the slayings of two police officers in a tiny Alaska village was accused of viciously attacking the same two officers after they responded to a call about an intruder last year, court records revealed. But assault and other charges filed against John Marvin Jr. in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alleged attack on Hoonah police officers Tony Wallace and Matt Tokuoka were dismissed in December. Now Marvin, 45, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder on allegations that he ambushed the two officers as they chatted in front of his home late Saturday. He surrendered Monday morning after a long standoff with authorities. Wallaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visiting mother, Debbie Greene of St. Petersburg, Fla., was on a patrol ridealong with her son and witnessed the shootings, according to Jamie Brothers, an exgirlfriend of the officer who remained close friends with him. Tokuokaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and children also saw the shootings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling like a robot today,â&#x20AC;? Brothers said in a telephone interview with the Associated Press from Rochester, N.Y. The prosecutor assigned to the 2009 case declined Monday to say why the charges were dropped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our office is reeling, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not prepared to talk about it,â&#x20AC;? said Amy Williams, an assistant district attorney. She added she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to risk jeopardizing the new case against Marvin. Court documents allege both officers were injured in the August 2009 attack after they responded to a call from a woman who said Marvin entered her home without permission. The attack ended after the officers fired stun guns at Marvin multiple times and Wallace, a college wrestler, contained him in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thigh lock,â&#x20AC;? court records said.

Accurate conclusions about what caused the blowout of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil well in the Gulf of Mexico and the massive spill that followed will have to wait for a key piece of equipment to be raised from the seafloor and analyzed, a member of a federal investigative panel looking into the disaster said Monday. Even then, it could be a guessing game, said Wayne R. Andersen, a retired federal judge and the only nongovernment member of the panel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say the key thing to this story is coming soon as the blowout preventer comes up,â&#x20AC;? Andersen told the Associated Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to speculate after that is inspected, but we might. I am waiting suspensefully to see what the engineers say.â&#x20AC;? He also said that panel members have not been provided a copy of BPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal investigation, which is ongoing, nor have results of other probes been released. Everyone is going to have to wait a few more days for the blowout preventer to be pulled up from the seabed, however. High seas on the Gulf forced BP PLC on Monday to delay operations for up to three days. Retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point man on the spill response, told reporters in a conference call that waves were 6 to 8 feet tall and crews were worried about the potential risk of suspending hulking pieces of equipment from a crane underwater while the waves were rocking. He said it could be as late as Thursday before engineers begin to remove the temporary cap that stopped more oil from flowing into the sea in mid-July and the failed blowout preventer, which is a key piece of evidence in ongoing investigations. The cap will be stored on the seafloor nearby. It could take 24 hours to slowly lift the blowout preventer from the water. A new blowout preventer will be placed atop the well once the failed one is raised. After that, the goal is to drill the final 50 feet of a relief well. Engineers will then pump in mud and cement to permanently plug the well that

Suspect arrested in West Hollywood triple homicide HOLLYWOOD, WEST Calif. (AP) — A Los Angeles man suspected in last week’s killing of three men who were shot in a West Hollywood apartment was arrested by sheriff’s investigators during a traffic stop Monday, authorities said. Detectives found the vehicle driven by Harold Yong Park using a patrol car with an automated license plate recognition system, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker said. The 31-year-old Park had multiple pounds of marijuana at the time of his arrest in

Lomita, about 20 miles south of West Hollywood, Parker said. Homicide investigators think he stole it from the apartment after the murders. Detectives have no motive for the killings, but believe robbery was involved. The three victims, brothers Pirooz and Shahriar Moussazadeh and Bernard Khalili, were killed Thursday night in the apartment where two of them lived. Neighbors heard shots and the apartment manager found the apartment door open and a body inside. All three victims were

members of the Iranian Jewish community and moved to the U.S. as young children. The victims were not wealthy, and family members have said they did not have criminal pasts. Park was booked for murder and is being held without bail.

Sannar. Members had directed him to the lay bishop after he had asked who was the leader of the congregation. Ward, who had a 6-year-old son, suffered mental trauma from serving in the Persian Gulf War and had been on medication and living on disability benefits, according to his father, George Ward. “I firmly believe that Kenny, because of the war, suffered post-traumatic stress,” the 70-year-old retiree, who shared a home with his son, said between sobs. “He came back and was never the same.” The Ward brothers were raised in the Mormon church by their mother and grandparents, but the family eventually fell out of the church, according to Mike Ward. He said his brother was excommunicated in 1988 and later regained his membership while stationed at Fort Bragg. Then in 2004, Ward resigned his membership, said Kim Farah, a church spokeswoman in Salt Lake City. “This is not a political thing. He was not a victim of any abuse, no sexual or physical abuse — never been exposed to that,” Mike Ward said. “Mental illness killed my brother and Mr. Sanner.” Police in Visalia didn’t return calls for comment Monday. Investigators have not officially discussed a motive. The glass doors and windows of the church were cov-

VISALIA, Calif. (AP) — The suspected gunman in the fatal shooting of a Mormon church official in Central California was mentally ill and believed the church had wronged him when he was a member in the 1980s, family members said Monday. Kenneth James Ward, 47, would go through delusional spells when he blamed the Mormon church for his troubles, according to his younger brother, Mike Ward. “When my brother had one of his episodes, he conjured up in his mind that he thought that the Mormons were sending him to hell. He would tell me that,” Mike Ward, 44, said in a phone interview from his home in Bakersfield. Kenneth Ward told his family in Modesto that he was going on a fishing trip Sunday. Instead, he drove 140 miles south to his childhood town of Visalia, walked into his former church and opened fire on Clay Sannar, 40, a lay bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, police said. Ward later called police and told them where he could be found. When officers arrived at the location — Ward’s childhood home — they confronted him and exchanged gunfire. Ward was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at a hospital. No police officers were injured. Church leaders and Ward’s relatives said he did not know

GETTYSBURG, Pa. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The town where the Civil Warâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tide-turning battle was waged is fighting dissension in its own ranks, with even hard-core preservationists split over a proposed casino that would rise near the historic battlefield and be named for the line that divided North and South. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the second time in five years that Gettysburg has fought over a plan to build a casino. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Mason Dixon Resort & Casino, proposed on a hotel and conference center site within a mile of the southern boundary of Gettysburg National Military Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No Casinoâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pro Casinoâ&#x20AC;? signs pepper shop windows in the quaint streets of Gettysburg, where more than a million tourists shop, dine or sleep each year. Supporters say the casino plan doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tread on hallowed ground and will bring jobs, more tourists and tax relief to the area. But the potential that a casino will cheapen the wholesome reputation that draws tourists to Gettysburg, where 160,000 Union and Confederate soldiers fought a three-day battle in the summer of 1863, is what worries many. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like a lot of people, they just want more business, they want more money to flow in the community at any cost, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really upsetting,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara Schultz, a Gettysburg native and casino opponent who owns a bed and breakfast and collectibles gallery. On Tuesday, casino principals, supporters and oppo-

nents will speak at a public meeting with state regulators who are considering the license application to build the casino. More than 390 people have registered to speak, meaning the hearing could spill into Wednesday. One registered speaker, Violet Clark, who traveled from La Follette, Tenn., said a casino disrespects the sacrifice of the soldiers, who include her ancestors. The developer, David LeVan, is a well-known local philanthropist and former Conrail Inc. chairman who lives across the street from the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s museum and visitors center. He has helped renovate the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Majestic theater and donated family land to help preservation efforts. He declined to comment Monday through a spokesman, David La Torre, who said casino opponents should instead focus their attention on development that is happening on land outside the park boundaries that was the site of battle activity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to really keep it in its proper context,â&#x20AC;? La Torre said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to realize how big this place is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humongous, and people are fighting us and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not even located on it.â&#x20AC;? The nearly 6,000-acre park is bordered by the town, as well as areas already saturated with hotels and fast-food restaurants. The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board rejected LeVanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first plan in 2006 amid an outcry that gambling would sully the character of the battlefield where Union soldiers

stopped the Confederate advance. LeVan and supporters contend the new casino plan is much smaller than the first â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they are seeking a license that allows up to 600 slot machines and 50 table games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and would pump new life into a struggling hotel and conference center. The county is supporting the plan in exchange for a $1 million annual contribution to its treasury. A local group, the Gettysburg Battlefield Preservation Association, endorses the plan, saying the potential to strengthen the local economy could boost preservation efforts. Park officials say they have determined that the casino does not directly affect park resources. Still, the Washington, D.C.based Civil War Preservation Trust put the Gettysburg National Military Park on its endangered list because of the casino plan. In April, Ronald Maxwell, who made the epic 1993 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gettysburg,â&#x20AC;? came to town to deliver an impassioned speech to casino opponents. The French would not allow a casino to be built on famous battlefields along the Somme River or in the Ardennes, and the Polish would not allow a casino a half-mile of the site of the Katyn massacre or the Auschwitz concentration camp, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why stop at Gettysburg? Maybe we should build some casinos at the site of the World Trade Center,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would create some jobs right? Heck, that would help the tax base, right?â&#x20AC;?

Purse, cocaine not hers, Hilton told Vegas police LAS VEGAS (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Paris Hilton had an explanation for police: The rolling papers, $1,300 in cash and several credit cards were hers, but not the purse they were in. And definitely not the bag of white powder that fell out of it. Believing it to be cocaine, an officer asked her who it belonged to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said she had not seen it but now thought it was gum,â&#x20AC;? Las Vegas police Lt. Dennis Flynn wrote in a report made public on Monday. Hilton told police the purse belonged to a friend. But the friend was never identified. HILTON The 29-year-old celebrity socialite was charged with cocaine possession. She was freed without bail before dawn Saturday after spending less than three hours handcuffed on a jailhouse booking room bench. Hiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, David Chesnoff, said he would not comment on the police report, and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the facts of the situation will be tested in a courtroom.â&#x20AC;? Flynn said Hilton acknowledged also owning a broken tablet of the prescription asthma medication Albuterol found in the purse she took with her into a security room at the Wynn Las Vegas resort. Flynn said Hilton had asked to be allowed to go into the hotel after her boyfriend, Las Vegas nightclub mogul Cy Waits, 34, failed field sobriety tests given by a motorcycle officer. The couple had been stopped in a black Cadillac Escalade after the officer smelled a â&#x20AC;&#x153;vapor trailâ&#x20AC;? of marijuana smoke. Police have not said whether marijuana was found in the vehicle. Flynn said Hilton denied owning a small plastic â&#x20AC;&#x153;bindleâ&#x20AC;? containing 0.8 grams of cocaine that the police lieutenant said fell out when Hilton opened the purse to get a tube of lip balm.

Flynn said that while Hilton was in the Escalade, she told him she was â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely embarrassed, due to all the people taking pictures of her,â&#x20AC;? and asked to go inside the Wynn resort to use a bathroom. Flynn estimated the crowd at about 100 people. Several photos apparently snapped with cell phone cameras have been posted on at least one Internet site showing Hilton with police at the Escalade on the neon-splashed Strip. Las Vegas police do not have cameras on patrol vehicle dashboards. Flynn said Hilton was taken to a security holding room inside Wynn to await the arrival of a female officer to accompany her to a rest room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hilton said she needed to put some lip balm on, and I handed her the purse from the table,â&#x20AC;? Flynn wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As she began to open it, I saw a small bindle of what I believed to be cocaine in clear plastic baggy begin to fall from the purse and into my hand.â&#x20AC;? Hilton briefly faced a marijuana charge last month after a FIFA World Cup match in South Africa, but the case against her was dropped after a woman who was with her pleaded guilty to possessing the drug. Hilton is scheduled for arraignment before a Las Vegas judge Oct. 27 on a felony cocaine possession charge that could get her probation if convicted. A violation of that probation could be punishable by up to one to four years in Nevada state prison. Waits, 34, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. He spent the night in jail before he was released on $2,000 bail with a Nov. 29 court date. Waits is managing partner of the Tryst Nightclub at Wynn Las Vegas, XS The Nightclub at Wynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Encore resort, and Draiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after-hours club at Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gamblinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hall & Saloon. He declined comment Monday when reached by the Associated Press. His lawyer did not immediately respond to a message.

Fishin’ with Capt. Gus: Thousands of fish perish at Lake Norman What is next for Lake Norman’s depleted striper fishery? This year’s striped bass kill is finally winding down, but not before 7,000 adult fish were scooped from the surface of Lake Norman. If that’s not enough, a small kill (300) in 2009 and another in 2004 that took the lives of 3,000 fish, has diminished the quality and quantity of the striper fishery. With summer kills coming all too frequently, you have to wonder if it is possible for the species to recover. Maybe not! One group of Lake Norman anglers suggests that future striper stockings should be supplemented with “hybrid striped bass.” The hybrid, a cross between a white bass and a striped bass, is produced in a hatchery. The crossbreeding pro-

duces a fish that can withstand much higher water temperatures and lower levels of dissolved oxygen than the striped bass currently being stocked. The hybrid striper, also known as a bodie bass, wiper, sunshine bass or Cherokee bass is hardy. They currently thrive in impoundments throughout the Southeast and in midwestern sections of the United States. The hybrid striped bass has a deep silver body that looks more like a white bass than a striper. The stripes along the sides and back are usually broken, and a few extend to the tail. Hybrids grow quickly. They can reach a length of 18 inches and weigh as much as 2 pounds within 24 months. The average hybrid striped bass ranges from

a few pounds to 5 or more pounds. When conditions are favorable, many achieve weights of 10 to 15 pounds. Like stripers and white bass, hybrids swim in large schools and spend much of their adult lives devouring shad and herring, both plentiful on Lake Norman. Besides being the perfect match for Lake Norman’s harsh summer water conditions, hybrids are excellent fighters. They put up such a fight that many anglers prefer catching them over stripers. In addition, their white meat makes tasty table fare when deep fried and served with hush puppies and french fries. When spotted bass stop surface feeding over humps and underwater islands, lower a four inch soft plastic worm to the bottom on a drop

shot rig. The small worm to a spotted bass is like giving candy to a child. Best colors are pumpkin seed and watermelon. Upcoming event: Thursday, Sept. 9, Light House Marine Services is offering an instructional course on “How To Safely Navigate Lake Norman.” Topics to be discussed will include “Understanding Lake Norman’s Marker and Buoy System,” “Identifying and Learning How To Avoid Dangerous Shoals” and “How To Use and Interpret Lake Maps.” Registration fee is $25 for the two-hour course conducted by Capt. Gus Gustafson. The class begins at 6:30 p.m. at Gander Mountain, Interstate 77, Exit 36 Mooresville. To register, or for more information, call Lt. Scott Spivey, 704-587-0325 or visit

www.Lmservice.org . Recent hot spots: Night fishing for catfish is good to very good. The area around the dam is also producing nice stringers of blue cats. Most are hitting cut baits suspended to depths of 60 feet. White perch are hitting over humps and along dropoffs in water from 25 to 50 feet deep. Spotted bass continue to surface feed at dawn in boat basins and around underwater islands. The lake level is about 2.5 feet below full pond and the water surface temperature is in the high 80s and low 90s. 

Group unhappy with ruling that could lead to trout stream harm

Members of the plein air class at Wildacres Retreat paint on the bank of the Linville River, near the Blue Ridge parkway

RELIVING CAMP LIFE At retreat, adults get creative — but still worry about the bears BY COLETTE BANCROFT St. Petersburg Times

EAR LITTLE SWITZERLAND — The last time I went to summer camp, 40-some years ago, its appeal was that seductive mix of fun and fear. The fun was being free from our everyday routine and the family’s eagle eye, goofing around in the woods, meeting new pals, eating with elbows on the table and trading stories into the night. The fear was whether I would survive learning how to dive in a murky Florida lake without breaking my neck or being eaten by a gator. Oh, and I worried about bears. When I went to summer art camp for grownups last month, the fun part was pretty much the same. The fear involved no gators, since I was high in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Instead, as an amateur painter used to fussing over one painting in a month’s worth of studio classes, I worried about whether I could keep up in a fast-paced, weeklong outdoor art class. And about bears. If you think summer camp may be wasted on kids, just look around — there are plenty of camps for grownups, tailored to all sorts of interests. Ringling College of Art and Design has its main campus in Sarasota, Fla. But each summer and fall, its community art program offers three one-week sessions at Wildacres Retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. In July, more than 80 people came there from as far away as New England and as nearby as the next town to paint and draw, throw clay, shoot digital photos and hike in the woods. Some of the campers had been coming for years — I met one couple who were there for the 16th time — while others, like me, were first-timers. They came from all over the eastern United States, but by far the biggest contingents were from Florida and North Carolina. They came for the art, the camaraderie, the scenery. I’ve been drawing and painting off and on for much of my life, and for 10 years

CHAPEL HILL — The N.C. Supreme Court ruled last week that a country club golf course’s razing of forested buffer areas along sensitive trout streams was allowed despite a state law requiring “undisturbed” buffers to protect trout streams and water quality, according to the Southern Environmental Law Center. The Supreme Court decision reversed an earlier N.C. Appeals Court decision that a golf course constructed at Mountain Air Country Club in Yancey County violated state buffer requirements for trout streams. “This decision slashes long-standing protections for North Carolina’s valuable trout streams and threatens to turn every undisturbed trout buffer in North Carolina into a golf course or parking lot and every mountain stream into a piped ditch,” said Blan Holman, a senior attorney at the Southern Environmental Law Center. “Clean trout streams are essential to North Carolina’s mountain heritage and vital for an economy powered by outdoor recreational activities. Allowing forested buffers to be leveled for golf courses will make trout streams the only state waters that can be muddied by big development.” A dissenting opinion written by Justice Robin E. Hudson said the majority’s decision unilaterally removes trout stream protections that the General Assembly enacted decades ago. Justice Hudson points out that the majority “reads trout water protection provisions out of the [Sedimentation Pollution Control] Act.” Piping trout streams and denaturalizing the areas next to those streams is a recurring part of proposals for developments in North Carolina’s Appalachian Mountains, especially for mountaintop luxury golf courses. The Mountain Air golf course affects thousands of feet of stream because the mountainside trout stream running through it was reshaped and severely modified to accommodate fairways and greens. Studies have shown that vegetated buffers prevent sedimentation and warming of mountain streams, which in their natural state run cold and clear. The trout buffer requirement was enacted by the N.C. General Assembly in 1989.

Teaching assistant Bob Nulf, center, shows a painting to the plein air class during a critique after a painting session. Instructor Jean Blackburn is seated at center, in straw hat. The Wildacres Retreat is open to nonproﬁt groups conducting artistic programs. I’ve taken studio classes at the Morean Arts Center in St. Petersburg, Fla. Looking for a challenge, I signed up for the plein air painting class at Wildacres. (Other choices included studio painting, digital photography, clay studio, drawing in color and a class in “inspiration and action.”) Plein air (French for “open air”) simply means painting outdoors. Pluses: lots of subjects to paint, interesting problems of light and color and an opportunity to enjoy the cool mountain climate. Minuses: lugging a portable easel and other paraphernalia up and down the landscape, picking bugs out of your paint and coaxing the occasional daddy longlegs out of your tote bag, avoiding poison ivy and trying to finish a painting in a single session of two or three hours. The last was a major challenge for me (I started four paintings and finished only one), but not for some others in my class: One accomplished and efficient plein air painter completed eight beautiful canvases in five days. Our class of 14 students was lucky enough to be led by two fine teachers.

The instructor, Jean Blackburn, also teaches at Ringling. Blackburn’s assistant, Bob Nulf of Charlotte, N.C., is a fine art painter as well as a decorative home painter. They kept the atmosphere relaxed and supportive, taking the edge off critique sessions with humor and positive advice. And Nulf even provided some of the bear-avoidance tips I remember from my earlier camp sojourns — not that I really needed to be reminded. On one outing, we took a trip to Linville Falls, a National Park Service site off the Blue Ridge Parkway. The class scattered to find shady perches below the narrow silver waterfall or next to the broad, rust-brown Linville River. On our way to Linville Falls, riding in the second of several cars, I finally saw the bear. The first vehicle in our convoy braked for a black bear cub, about the size of a Labrador retriever, standing in the middle of the two-lane Blue Ridge Parkway looking around, most likely for his mother. Safe inside a Prius, we hollered excitedly as he scampered down the mountainside.

Ask Amy: ‘The Cuddler’ strikes, worrying dad Dear Amy: I am a widower with five children. We live in a large home in a private community. I allowed my wife’s sister and family to move in with us when she and her husband lost their jobs and their home was foreclosed. ASK They have AMY three older children. I am truly blessed that both our families get along well, and that my children have a mother figure in my sister-in-law. I am concerned, though, for my youngest son “Stevie.” At a little over 2 years old, he has yet to speak — I didn’t start talking until I was 4. Stevie also likes to cuddle with everyone!

Despite having his own bed and stuffed bear, Stevie and bear can be found in the beds of either his brothers, sisters, cousins, aunt and uncle, or my own! He does not discriminate! I found him recently sleeping with our chocolate Lab! Is this behavior something to be concerned about? Friends and family say it’s just a phase, but I’d like to be sure. What is your take on this? — Concerned In Michigan Dear Concerned: I’m happy your unusual situation is working out for your families, but as the youngest, “Stevie” may be expressing some of the natural stresses of being at the end of the cuddle chain in your very large household. At only 2 years old, he has

been through a great deal. He now has a wealth of cuddling and sleeping options, and he is trying them all. Take your son to see his pediatrician for an evaluation. His lack of language could be a sign of a processing or hearing problem — or evidence that he has suffered a loss and is going through a transition (as you all are). I’d let him cuddle with anyone and everyone — but you, especially, should give him as much one-on-one “Daddy time” as you can. Sit quietly with him and leaf through a simple picture book, pointing at objects and animals and naming them and imitating their sounds. Talk to him and listen patiently. Establish a predictable bedtime routine that culminates with him being tucked in along with his bear in his bed. When he wanders at

night, whomever he lands with should lead him back to his bed and stroke his head or rub his back for a few minutes. You could also try moving another compatible child or the dog’s bed into his room — a little canine company at night might offer the comfort and company he needs. Dear Amy: I am a 13-yearold girl who is having problems with a friend. We are going into eighth grade, and she broke up with her boyfriend a while ago. Even though it wasn’t really a “real” relationship, she was sad. I just found out she tried cutting herself. She’s done it twice, as far as I know. A few nights ago, she sneaked out of the house. She is convinced her parents hate her because they grounded her recently. I think I’m the only one who knows of this. I don’t know who to tell or

what to do, but I’m worried. I don’t know if I’m overreacting, but I feel like I should do something. — Worried Dear Worried: You are not overreacting. You are being a good friend. Friends worry when their friends are in trouble or feeling sad, and friends try to help. All the same, this is too much for you to deal with on your own. Cutting and sneaking out are dangerous behaviors, and she needs adult help to deal with her feelings and behavior. Go to your parents, express your concern and ask for their help. If there is another adult you know she is close to, tell that person. You should also speak with your counselor at school. Dear Amy: “Loving Mom” was receiving a monthly gift of flowers that were arriving

looking very ugly. My mother and I had the same problem. I was glad she told me because I got my money back! I called her local florist and we made an agreement — my mother had a beautiful, fresh, handcrafted arrangement delivered every month! — Loving Son Dear Son: And you kept your business “local.” Great solution. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

is recommended with favorable results, too. Visit www.instructables.com/id/Get-thatlast-load-from-a-bottle-of-detergent! for a tutorial on how to cut an upside down “V” under the base of the spout to pour out every remaining bit of product that gets trapped. Or add some water to the container and shake and pour to use it all. One reader, Karen from Kansas, shares: “Back when I used liquid detergent, I turned the bottle upside down to get out the last bit. I now purchase Charlie’s Soap (www.charliesoap.com) in a 5gallon bucket (1,280 loads). You can buy it in liquid form, too, which is enough to last us three to four years.” • Salad dressing: Use less by pouring slowly into your bowl, add a lid, and shake the dressing to disperse it evenly. • Cleaners: You don’t have to spray the entire surface with cleaning product. The product gets absorbed by your paper towel or cloth. Moisten the surface with water to loosen dirt or dried spills, and use a microfiber cloth to clean the surface first and then decide whether or not you need a spray cleaner. Many of your cleaning products can be replaced with vinegar, salt, dish liquid, essential oils, lemon juice, castile soap and baking soda. • Paper towels: Don’t use a full sheet for small spills. Place a stack of cheap white washcloths on your counter top. Use them for cleaning and drying hands. Another reader, Patty A, from Utah, shares: “I buy dollar-store brand coffee filters (200 count) to drain grease on. They don’t leave the little bits of paper stuck to things. I also use washrags instead of paper towels. The older ones become dishrags and the old dish rags become cleaning rags. Old cloth diapers are the best for cleaning rags, and can many times be picked up at yard sales or thrift stores.”

It’s easy to waste products by using too much. This is especially true with products that are pourable or in squeezable containers. No one wants to feel like there’s a daily audit on product usage, but if at least one person in the household measures only the amount SARA that is needed NOEL or makes an effort to use less of a product, it can amount to a decent amount of annual savings without any loss in product performance. What products do you find yourself using more than you actually need? • Shampoo: Place shampoo in a dispenser or a pump bottle (pump bottles are great for dish liquid, hand soap and condiments, too). Measure a quarter-sized dollop into your hand instead of filling your palm. Do your own test at home. Have a family member or friend place various-priced shampoos into newly marked bottles (labeled A, B, C so you can tell them apart). See which shampoo you like best. You might be surprised to discover you prefer a cheaper shampoo than you’ve been using. And most people don’t need to lather, rinse and repeat. • Laundry detergent: Accurate measuring is the key to using less. You might simply eyeball it and pour the product directly into your washing machine, or maybe you fill the measuring cup. This causes product build up in your washer and on your clothes, and can make your laundry smell terrible. The measurement lines are on the inside of the cap and are often hard to see, and instructions for amounts are on the container. Measure and mark the cap with a permanent marker or simply use your own measuring cup. Many people use far less than

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS URGE AUDIT

Dig deeper at crime lab he N.C. Conference of District Attorneys has issued a request that deserves serious consideration as state officials try to pick up the pieces of the State Bureau of Investigation’s shattered image. The DAs want a full-scale audit of the SBI crime lab, which could accomplish at least two things. It could resolve questions about whether problems at the lab extend beyond botched and deliberately skewed blood-analysis reports. It also could help restore public confidence not only in the lab but in the criminal justice system. That confidence has been shaken by recent disclosures that crime lab analysts have in the past omitted, overstated or falsely reported blood evidence in dozens of cases, including three that resulted in executions. As disturbing as those conclusions were, there’s at least a modicum of satisfaction in knowing that these abuses had finally been brought fully into the light through an audit of the lab’s blood unit. Two former FBI officials went through the books, case by individual case, to put together their stunning critique. Yet while the review answered some questions, it raises another: Was the lab’s serology section the only forensic area susceptible to this kind of abuse? Without a more extensive review, how can we know? That’s an issue that needs to be addressed, and the state’s district attorneys have pointed to the best way to do it — through a rigorous audit that examines procedures in individual cases. Such an audit wouldn’t be quick or easy, but it’s the best way to address lingering concerns about what else might be lurking in the crime lab files. As the district attorneys are well aware, what’s at stake isn’t only the fate of individual defendants — important in its own right — but belief in the system itself. The SBI is already roiling from the disclosures. Former SBI Director Robin Pendergraft was shifted to another job, and crime lab director Jerry Richardson was also removed, along with four lab analysts. New SBI Director Greg McLeod last week named eight people to a search committee that will vet potential candidates to take over the beleaguered lab. The advisory group’s members include Cabarrus Sheriff Brad Riley and others who have extensive experience with the criminal justice system and, presumably, an abiding passion for ensuring its fairness and credibility. Putting the right people in charge in a key part of restoring the crime lab’s tarnished image. But rehabilitation also requires that we know exactly how pervasive the problems are. The state’s DAs have a vested interest in gaining that information. So do the rest of us.

e wish he would stay just a little longer. But it was three great years and we wish him well as he takes on an even bigger assignment.” That is what folks at Davidson College said last year when Stephan Curry opted out of his senior year and a chance for one more year with the Wildcat basketball team. Those same words are coming out of the same mouths as Davidson gets used to giving up the man who served as its president for the last three years, Tom Ross. D.G. Last week the UNC MARTIN Board of Governors named the Davidson president to succeed Erskine Bowles at the end of the year. Ross will be the 17th UNC president. But he is only the fifth since the 1971 reorganization and consolidation of all state universities. William Friday, C.D. Spangler, Molly Broad and Bowles are Ross’ immediate predecessors. As a North Carolinian with limited experience in the complex world of public higher education, Ross seems to fit the model of Spangler and Bowles. Like them, he brings a reputation of dedicated and unselfish public service and a native’s understanding of North Carolina culture and politics, Although he does not have the national credentials and career experience that Molly Broad brought to the job, his three years at Davidson and his service as Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation executive director give him more experience in high-

er education issues than either Spangler or Bowles had a the beginning. Like them, Ross brings a demonstrated ability to manage complex organizations and tackle new challenges. Because of his Davidson experience and my observation of his success in dealing with the state legislature as a representative of the justice system, I mentioned Ross as a possibility for the UNC job in this column back in February. But even though I thought he was perfect for the job, I believed he would be a long-shot candidate. I was afraid his relative short time in higher education leadership would overshadow his assets as a leader in the North Carolina public arena. Maybe I underestimated the wisdom of the search committees. Or maybe Ross just simply fit perfectly the profile of the kind of servant leader they wanted. Now that the selection process is over, how will Ross compare to his predecessors? One of them, Bowles, with typical modesty, was heard to say, “He’ll be a

much better president than I am.” That might be too high a performance bar to set. In his five years of service, Bowles’ example of committed hard work and success will be a hard act to follow. However, Ross seems ready to challenge Bowles at least on the modesty front. “I’ve got a lot to learn, and ... I know that I’m going to have to jump right in, that I’ll make mistakes. And I just hope people will be patient and understand and know that I’m giving it all I have.” He also said, “I am far from perfect and I am no miracle worker, but I am committed to the task at hand.” Maybe not miracles, but Ross has shown he can make the most of challenging situations. And he probably knows that the Presbyterians at Davidson, along with people of all faiths all over North Carolina, will be praying for him. They should also pray for the something-closeto-a-miracle that it is going to take to keep the university strong, given the state’s economic situation and competing priorities. Postscript: Ross will have Davidson-related company in the high levels of university administration. East Carolina Athletics Director Terry Holland; N.C. State Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Tom Stafford; and UNC-Chapel Hill Associate Deans Bill Andrews and Jamie May are Davidson alums. • • • D.G.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Restoring Honor rally an inspirational event

Remember our common humanity I t’s been five years since Hurricane Katrina turned the streets of my beloved hometown of New Orleans into an array of devastating rivers. I was there a week after the hurricane killed hundreds, destroyed homes and historic buildings and eroded everyone’s confidence in government. It’s as if life has been divided into two parts: pre-Katrina and afterKatrina (PK and AK) because nothing has been the same since. Hurricane Katrina was an equal-opportunity destroyer. She didn’t care if you were white or black, lived in a lakefront mansion or in public housing in the lower ninth ward. She cared only if you were in her way. DONNA Since I was a little girl, BRAZILE I’ve worried about my family being scattered and unreachable, and, even worse than that, of disappearing altogether. Within hours of Katrina reaching landfall, my worst childhood fear came true. I didn’t know where anyone was. I didn’t know if they had survived, had fled or were trapped in their attics awaiting rescue. Within hours, my family was strewn over eight states and 14 cities, but I didn’t know that until days later. It was a miracle, midwived by the rescue workers or strangers on the scene helping folks escape the floodwaters, that they survived. They remain my heroes. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. Aug. 29, 2010, marked the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. It will always be a solemn occasion. I marked it this year by doing renovations. My family is now in clean, green, mold-free houses in the city of jazz. Their future is hopeful, even if it lacks the trappings of history. We move forward without the pictures of our childhood, or the stuffed animals lovingly saved for nostalgic value. We move forward unencumbered by physical reminders of the past yet forever shaped by it. We move forward knowing it was two white guys on a green boat from Shreveport who managed to save my Dad, Lionel, and a sister and her family. So don’t tell me Katrina was about race. It wasn’t. Katrina hit at the end of the month. Anyone who’s lived paycheck to paycheck knows that the end of the month is the hardest. In all this discussion of Wall Street versus Main Street, we’ve forgotten a whole class of people: those who live on the back roads near the train track or dead-end streets that rarely get their trash picked up. On that day,

everyone who stayed behind or simply could not afford to leave had to deal with the truth: They were at the mercy of others. The government, at all levels, failed in many ways, one of which was evacuating the people who couldn’t evacuate themselves. But it wasn’t about race — it was about poverty. Poor people of all backgrounds and colors suffered. In the wake of Katrina, people tried to draw battle lines and make false distinctions. If Katrina did anything good, it was to remind us of our common humanity. We are all at the mercy of Mother Nature. Black, white, rich and poor, we all exist because Mother Nature hasn’t decided to wipe us out yet. On the fifth-year anniversary of Katrina, my mind turns to Pakistan and the tragedy that is unfolding there. According to CNN.com, “Over three weeks, Pakistan’s floods have affected more than 17 million people, leaving some 4 million homeless. An estimated 6 million people are in need of emergency shelter, of which just over 1 million have received tents or plastic tarps.” It’s difficult to wrap your mind around those numbers, and even more difficult to wrap your heart around them. How can tragedies like this happen? Why? What can we do? What are we supposed to learn from this? I don’t have many answers beyond “donate money to a worthy cause,” but I have one: Remember our common humanity. We spend so much time focused on the trivial, superficial divisions that separate us — race, class, gender and religion — that we forget we are first and foremost human beings. In disaster, all that is unimportant falls away. We forget the pictures and stuffed animals, and we remember the family. We forget cars and houses and gadgets, and remember humanity. Disaster gives us priorities. It is the one gift she gives as she takes everything else away. There is one thing you can do for New Orleans. Don’t mourn for us: Celebrate with us. Come back, hungry, thirsty and ready to dance. Celebrate our resilience. The spirit of New Orleans can get beaten and battered, but it cannot be broken. Come back and tap your foot to the jazz beat that floats on the air and be grateful. Like the world champion New Orleans Saints, The people of the Gulf coast, the region itself will always be indomitable. • • • Donna Brazile is a political commentator on CNN, ABC and NPR, and a contributing columnist to Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill.

In disaster, all that is unimportant falls away.

I had the privilege of attending the Restoring Honor rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday. It was a once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Having never been to our Capitol before, seeing the monuments and memorials was breath-taking. Being part of a crowd of that magnitude could have been intimidating, but it was anything but. I met people from all over the country, and everyone was courteous, friendly and helpful. We were in a crowd of hundreds of thousands of people, and all those around me were speaking in hushed tones so as not to disturb others listening to the speakers. Throughout the day I noticed a handful of people attempting to stir up controversy, but they were dwarfed by the overall level of respect. We pledged allegiance to our flag, sang the National Anthem and Amazing Grace and prayed together. We were encouraged to practice faith, hope, charity and integrity, to honor our country and family, to support our troops, to celebrate the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., to seek the truth within ourselves and to seek and honor God. The message was positive and uplifting. It’s been reported that over $5 million was raised to educate the children of fallen warriors. I’m proud to have been a part of a truly remarkable day, and very proud to be an American. God bless our nation. — Elizabeth Landry Salisbury

Another hit-and-run I would like to thank the heartless person who ran over our beautiful black cat in front of my daughter on Wetmore Road on Friday (Aug. 27). This week has been stressful enough for us. My daughter started her first day in middle school, and we celebrated my recently deceased father’s birthday. Fluff was my mother’s cat, so now she has to deal with the loss of a husband and a beloved cat. We would have appreciated your stopping to say you were sorry, but I realize that would be too much to ask. Thanks for making a stressful week more stressful! — Carla Linker Woodleaf

Obama declaring ‘promise kept’ in ending Iraq war

BAGHDAD (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden sought Monday to reassure Iraq that America is not abandoning it as the U.S. military steps back and a stalemate over who will run the war-battered nation’s next government approaches its sixth month. Biden flew into Baghdad a few days before a military ceremony formally marking the end of U.S. combat operations seven years after the invasion that toppled Saddam BIDEN Hussein. He will also try to spur the nation’s leaders to forge a power-sharing agreement to bring some much-needed political stabil-

Archaeologists say flint might be world’s oldest cutlery JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli archaeologists believe thousands of ancient shards of flint found scattered around a fire pit in a cave near Tel Aviv might be the world’s oldest known disposable knives. Dating to the Stone Age, the tiny knives are believed to be at least 200,000 years old. A Tel Aviv University excavation team found the tools around a fireplace littered with charred animal bones. Archaeologist Ran Barkai said he believes Stone Age hunter-gatherers used the rough, round-shaped cutlery — ranging from the size of human teeth to guitar picks — for slicing through cooked meat because they were found next to the animal bones. The bones were used to determine the age of the knives. The number of knives found, coupled with the fact that they had no signs of sharpening, indicates they were disposable because they would have dulled after several uses, he said. The knives were made from recycled material — parts of larger knives and tools designed for other uses such as butchering animals and scraping hides, he said.

ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say they destroyed a pair of Civil Warera cannon balls on display at a Georgia college after officials realized they were live. Kennesaw State University spokeswoman Tammy DeMel says a bomb squad removed the relics Monday from the third floor of the social sciences building after authorities became concerned they posed a danger. The building was evacuated as a precaution and students were let back in later. Cobb County Sgt. Dana Pierce says the bombs had been detonated and that it would be hard to know if they could have gone off on their own. According to a school press release, the cannon balls have been in a display case in a room of the social sciences building for three years at the college just north of Atlanta.

The Seneca Indian Nation is trying to delay the taxation of reservation cigarette sales by challenging the way New York state adopted the regulations it intends to use to collect the levy starting Sept. 1. A lawyer for the western New York tribe argued in state Supreme Court on Monday that state officials circumvented proper procedures by adopting emergency rules outlining how the $4.35 per pack tax would be imposed. For that reason, the Senecas say, a 2009 court order blocking the state from taxing cigarette sales to nonIndian customers should remain in place. The state argues the new regulations make the order moot and it should be lifted. A separate Seneca challenge to the tax is pending in federal court.

Biden seeks to reassure Iraq that US will not abandon it

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A resurgence of bedbugs across the U.S. has homeowners and apartment dwellers taking desperate measures to eradicate the tenacious bloodsuckers, with some relying on dangerous outdoor pesticides and flyby-night exterminators. The problem has gotten so bad that the Environmental Protection Agency warned this month against the indoor use of chemicals meant for the outside. The agency also warned of an increase in pest control companies and others making “unrealistic promises of effectiveness or low cost.” Bedbugs, infesting U.S. households on a scale unseen in more than a half-century, have become largely resistant to common pesticides. As a result, some homeowners and exterminators are turning to more hazardous chemicals that can harm the central nervous system, irritate the skin and eyes or even cause cancer. Ohio authorities, struggling against widespread infestations in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and other cities, are pleading with EPA to approve the indoor use of the pesticide propoxur, which the agency considers a probable carcinogen and banned for in-home use in 2007. About 25 other states are supporting Ohio’s request for an emergency exemption. EPA rejected the request in June. An agency spokesman, Dale Kemery, said the EPA has pledged to find new, potent chemicals to kill bedbugs, which can cause itchy, red bites that can become infected if scratched.

spokeswoman at Sunrise Medical Center, where 44year-old Deborah Nyland is hospitalized. Nyland called 911 late Saturday to report a gunman at a Lake Havasu City, Ariz., home. Authorities say 26-year-old Brian Diez fatally shot five people, including the mother of his two children and her boyfriend, before fleeing with the kids to California and killing himself. Deborah Langstaff had taken out a restraining order against Diez earlier this year that prohibited him from seeing her or their children. Police say it will be difficult to establish a motive because everyone involved either died or was hospitalized.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Earl battered tiny islands across the northeastern Caribbean with heavy rain and roof-ripping winds Monday, rapidly intensifying into a major Category 4 storm on a path projected to menace the United States. Already dangerous with sustained winds of 135 mph (215 kph), Earl is expected to gain more strength before potentially brushing the U.S. East Coast this week and bringing deadly rip currents. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami warned coastal residents from North Carolina to Maine to watch the storm closely. “Any small shift in the track could dramatically alter whether it makes landfall or whether it remains over the open ocean,” said Wallace Hogsett, a meteorologist at the center. “I can’t urge enough to just stay tuned.” In the Caribbean, Earl caused flooding in low-lying areas and damaged homes on islands including Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla and St. Maarten. Several countries and territories reported power outages. Cruise ships were diverted and flights canceled across the region.

Brent McMahon, who owns McMahon’s RV in Irvine, Calif., offered to compete in a push-up contest to settle the breach of contract lawsuit that Lautner filed Aug. 23 claiming the dealership failed to deliver a $300,000 RV on time for use as a dressing room on the set of the actor’s latest film. McMahon and his attorney denied wrongdoing and said they will vigorously defend the case in court if Lautner, 18, doesn’t accept the challenge. The dealership said LAUTNER Lautner’s camp had sought a $40,000 settlement to resolve the case, leading to the unorthodox proposal by McMahon. The 47-year-old businessman said if he won the contest, he would donate the settlement money to Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Lautner’s attorney Robert Barta declined comment, citing the pending lawsuit.

ity to Iraq after March parliamentary elections failed to produce a clear winner. Biden tried to reassure Iraqis that America’s transition to more of a diplomatic mission in Iraq than a military one would be smooth. “We’re going to be just fine. They’re going to be just fine,” he said during a brief photo opportunity at the U.S. Embassy, sitting next to Ambassador Jim Jeffrey and surrounded by top U.S. generals overseeing Iraq and the rest of the Middle East. The Sept. 1 ceremony marks the start of the socalled “Operation New Dawn” — symbolizing the beginning of the end of the American military’s mission in Iraq.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Firmly and finally ending the U.S. combat mission in Iraq, President Barack Obama will have but a moment before trying to hasten peace nearby between Israelis and Palestinians. Left unclear is whether winding down the war that inflamed Arab passions will do anything to help long-shot Mideast talks. From the Oval Office, a setting designed to command gravity and attention, Obama will declare tonight that Iraqis are now the ones in charge of a war he had opposed. Within hours on Wednesday, he will be immersed in talks with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, underscoring the hopeful but precarious U.S. role as a middleman. The White House is framing the two events as commitments kept by the president. But there is little excitement buzz and certainly no bold promises that capping the combat mission in Iraq will prod broader peace in the Middle East. Tuesday night, Obama’s emphasis will be to thank the troops and explain why the fight goes on in Afghanistan and beyond — and not so much about the potential for Iraq to be “a beacon of liberty in the Middle East” as President George W. Bush put it. In a narrow sense, the peace talks convened by the White House have little to do with Iraq. The Middle East stalemate has to do with the borders of a potential Palestinian state, the fate of Palestinian refugees, the status of Jerusalem, the security of Israel — and trust on both sides. Making progress on those points, not the Iraq war, is at the core of renewed talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

WORLD

Drilling begins in effort to free Chilean miners SAN JOSE MINE, Chile (AP) — An enormous drill began preliminary work Monday on carving a half-mile chimney through solid rock to free the 33 men trapped in a Chilean mine, their ordeal now having equaled the longest known survival in an underground disaster. The 31-ton drill bored 50 feet into the rock, the first step in the weeklong digging of a “pilot hole” to guide the way for the rescue. Later the drill will be outfitted with larger bits to expand the hole and pull the men through — a process that could take four months. The men were trapped Aug. 5 in the San Jose mine in Chile’s northern Atacama Desert. Before rescuers dug bore holes to reach them, they survived 17 days without contact with the outside world by rationing a 48-hour supply of food and digging for water in the ground. Only three miners who survived 25 days trapped in a flooded mine in southern China last year are known to have survived underground as long. Few other rescues have taken more than two weeks. With Chilean officials saying the men could remain underground for another four months before the rescue hole is completed, the ordeal will be an unprecedented challenge for rescuers, but they have the tools to be successful. “The drill operators have the best equipment available internationally,” said Dave Feickert, director of KiaOra, a mine safety consulting firm in New Zealand, who has worked extensively with China’s government to improve dangerous mines there. “This doesn’t mean it will be easy,” he added. “They are likely to run into some technical problems that may slow them down.” In addition, a union leader has expressed concern for the men’s livelihoods. San Esteban, the company that operates the mine, has said it has no money to pay their wages and absorb lawsuits, and is not even participating in the rescue. State-run mining company Codelco

DomRep investors buy nation’s oldest newspaper SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — A partnership of Dominican businessmen has bought this Caribbean country’s oldest daily newspaper and its radio stations, officials announced Monday.

Drill work on the San Jose collapsed mine where 33 miners are trapped in Copiapo, Chile, on Monday. The miners, who have been trapped since the shaft they were working in collapsed on Aug. 5, were conﬁrmed to be alive Sunday when they were reached by rescue teams via a small hole through which they could pass messages and see the miners with a camera. has taken over. Union leader Evelyn Olmos called on the government to pay the workers’ wages starting in September, plus cover the roughly 100 other people at the mine who are now out of work and 170 more who work elsewhere for San Esteban. Its license has been suspended by the government. “We want the government to pay our salaries in full until our comrades are freed and then pay our severances,” said Olmos. Mining Minister Laurence Golborne said the government was prohibited by labor laws from assuming responsibility for the salaries.

pany. Financial terms were not disclosed, but officials said the total cost includes the roughly $51.8 million the media company owes to the government, which temporarily seized and ran the newspaper after a severe banking crisis in 2003. The investors, including Juan Bautista Vicini Lluberes of the Dominican sugar giant Vicini and media mogul Jose Luis “Pepin” Corripio, met with President Leonel Fernandez on Monday to vow that the debt will be paid. The sale of the newspaper and its radio stations took

He said it was up to the mining company and would have to be worked out in Chilean courts. Golborne noted the extraordinary circumstances of the mine collapse but pointed out there are many other Chileans who lack a job and said the government cannot be responsible for all of them. Union leaders and others blame the government in part for the San Jose accident because the mine had been cited for safety violations in the past but was allowed to continue operating. In 2007, executives were charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a min-

shape after more than a year of negotiations with the chief of the Central Bank, Hector Valdez Albizu. Listin Diario was owned by the prominent Pellerano family from its founding in 1889 until 2000, when it was bought by Ramon Baez Figueroa, head of Banco Intercontinental, then the country’s second biggest bank. The government took over the newspaper temporarily after the bank collapsed in May 2003 after losing some $2.2 billion through embezzlement, fraud and bad deals. Baez was fined $1.9 million and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

er. The worker’s family settled and the mine was closed until it could comply with safety rules, said Sen. Baldo Prokurica, who has long called for tougher regulations. The next year, the mine reopened even though the company apparently had not complied with all the regulations, he said, adding that the circumstances surrounding the reopening are being investigated. Workers at the current rescue operation are using the three existing bore holes to deliver food, water, air and medicine to the 33 miners, who are trapped about 2,200 feet underground in a shelter large

enough to walk around in. In an eight-minute video released by the government, the second made by the trapped miners, about a dozen of the men send greetings to their families and say they are feeling better since receiving the sustenance and supplies, including special clothes to keep them dry in the hot, humid mine. The government last week said that five of the miners were suffering from depression, but Golborne said Sunday from the mine site that those men were doing better, had received antidepressants and were getting counseling. Helping raise their spirits, the men spoke for about three minutes each to a family member on Sunday after a telephone line was lowered down one of the three existing 6inch bore holes. The men, while showing courage that has inspired people throughout Chile and the world, could not help but break down when speaking about their loved ones on the latest video. “I’m sending my greetings to Angelica. I love you so much, darling,” said 30-year-old Osman Araya, as his voice choked and he began to cry. “Tell my mother, I love you guys so much. I’ll never leave you. I will fight to the end to be with you.” The video showed the men mostly upbeat, joking on camera and talking about their absolute certainty that they would get out alive. Experts say maintaining high morale among the men is essential. They will play a key role in winning their own rescue: The drilling technique that must be used means that up to 4,000 tons of rock and debris will fall down into a large mine shaft near the shelter — but far enough away from the men that they will not be in any danger. Officials have said that it is essential the men be at their best physically and mentally because their own work clearing the rocks will be vital to keeping their eventual escape route from becoming plugged.

CHAPEL HILL — Less than a week away from a highprofile opener, Butch Davis doesn’t sound too certain of who will take the field for North Carolina. The 18th-ranked Tar Heels are weighed down by an NCAA investigation into agent-related benefits as well as a probe into potential aca-

demic misconduct. Instead of enjoying the buzz that comes with starting his fourth season against No. 21 LSU in Atlanta, Davis is answering questions — or, more accurately, not answering them — about who will be eligible to play. “We’re not preparing for worst-case scenarios,” Davis said. “We’re preparing for best-case scenarios.”

CATAWBA FOOTBALL

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — Steve Smith feels like a wise elder as he watches Carolina’s young receivers drop passes, struggle to get open, run the wrong routes and fail to produce a touchdown in the preseason. “It’s kind of like the SMITH dad driving in the car and he hears the kids in the back talking about the things they’re going to do,” the Panthers’ four-time Pro Bowl receiver said Monday. “Then on the field, you see the opportunity and they’re kind of closing their eyes a little bit. “It’s a learning experience for me, being an older guy. And it’s a learning experience for them as younger guys that it’s not college anymore.” With the 31-year-old Smith sidelined for most of training camp and three preseason games while he recovers from a breaking his left forearm in a flag football game, the Panthers have tried numerous receiver combinations with no success. With only one tuneup left Thursday at Pittsburgh, Carolina may be further away from identifying the No. 2 receiver than when camp began. Nobody from the inexperienced group of Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell, Kenny Moore, Wallace Wright, David Gettis, Armanti Edwards and Trent Guy seems like a sure bet to replace Muhsin Muhammad, who wasn’t re-signed. Smith thinks the group, average age of 23.4, may not have properly used all the resources available, including himself. Carolina’s career leader with 58 touchdowns said he “kind of kept my mouth closed” in training camp because he wasn’t playing and perhaps not getting proper respect as one of the NFL’s top receivers. “Then when we watched film and we went over plays, they were showing examples of the things that I did last year. It kind of helps get a little credibility with those guys,” Smith said. “Whether they want to hear it or not, they get in the game and all of sudden things change and they’re getting smashed up side the head. “Then they’ll come to me and I’ll kind of give them their space and I’m like, ‘What do I know?’ ” With Matt Moore in his first year as starting quarterback, the Panthers have spent extra time on the passing game dating to April’s minicamp.

Ironman approach for Indians BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Depending on whom you talked to, Catawba’s 2009 football season was disappointing, frustrating, miserable or dismal. Frustrating is coach Chip Hester’s preference. Just two years after winning 11 games and b e i n g slapped on the back as the region Coach of the Year, Hester HESTER watched the program sink to 4-6 on his watch. It actually was even worse than it sounds. Catawba was last in the SAC with a 1-6 mark, concluding with unexpected setbacks against Brevard and Lenoir-Rhyne. Catawba has owned the Bears the last 15 years, and Brevard is a league newcomer. “Winning and losing in our league is a fine line,” Hester said. “This league is much tougher than it used to be.” That’s true. The SAC used to be Carson-Newman, Catawba and everyone else, but the bottom of the league has picked up ground every season. Newberry, once an automatic blowout, now may have the best athletes in the league. Besides the SAC’s overall growth, the rise of state-supported UNC Pembroke as a D-II regional football power has made Catawba’s recruit-

Hester acknowledges the steep challenge of regaining respect in a dog-eat-dog league, but he, his staff and players are determined to right a listing ship. A new season kicks off Saturday night against St. Augustine’s at 7 p.m. The Indi-

ans are once again 0-0, and optimism is everywhere. Catawba was picked seventh by SAC coaches in a preseason poll even though it returns its quarterback and receivers, two stellar linebackers and most of its defensive backs. The only unit that is uncer-

tain is the defensive line, and All-SAC pick Brandon Sutton returns to lead that group. Realistically, if the ball bounces reasonably and injuries don’t pile up, there’s no reason this team can’t win. Start with quarterback Patrick Dennis, who did everything he could to sal-

vage last season and was the team’s Golden Helmet Award winner. Projected as a backup for injury-plagued North Carolina transfer Cam Sexton, Dennis threw for 1,519 yards and 14 TDs in seven outings.

Jones eager to end title drought IRVING, Texas (AP) — Jerry Jones has three Super Bowl rings, each representing something special: the first, the repeat, the new coach. If he gets another this season, it might mean more to him than all the others combined. While every NFL team wants to win the title every year, to Jones and the Dallas Cowboys, there’s more at stake this season. It starts with the wait since the last championship, 15 years and counting, the longest drought the franchise’s storied history. As owner and general manager, Jones has been blamed for letting his ego get in the way, from firing Jimmy Johnson after back-to-back titles to refusing to hire a “football guy” to run the front office. But now he’s steered them back on course. The Cowboys have won the division twice in three years under Wade Phillips and have a roster filled with guys in their prime, like Tony Romo and Jason Witten, DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff. Sure, Bill Parcells brought in those players, but he’s been gone long enough to be a footnote if Dallas wins in February; plus, you can almost see Jones smiling, winking and pointing out who hired Parcells. Then there’s the big reason this is a big year. The Super Bowl is coming to Cowboys Stadium, the $1.2 billion palace Jones built basically because he could. No team has played a Super Bowl in its home stadium, and for this team to play the game in this stadium — well, it’s almost too much to process, even for a dreamer like Jones. “I will make a deal with whoever

is listening: If we win, it’ll be the (Super Bowl) ring I wear,” Jones said, laughing during a recent interview with The Associated Press. “I joke that before the last one, I said, ’If you’ll just let this one happen, I’ll never ask again for anything of this nature.’ And we got it. So I’ve been trying to figure out how to make another deal all these years since.” Jones won three titles in his first seven years in the league. It’s an incredible feat under any circumstance, but especially his. An Arkansas oil man, he sold practically everything he had to buy a sinking organization. His first move was firing Tom Landry and replacing him with a former college teammate who’d never worked in the NFL. OK, so that guy was Johnson and Troy Aikman was there for the taking with their first draft pick. The Cowboys went 1-15 that season, which many figured would be typical under their unusual new regime. Jones had the last laugh when Dallas won the Super Bowl following the 1992 season. And again after the ’93 season, when he refused Emmitt Smith’s contract demands until the club lost its first two games and a frustrated Charles Haley put a helmet through a wall. Jones had an extra dose of satisfaction after the ’95 season, when he won with another coach — Barry Switzer, who’d been an assistant coach when Jones and Johnson were in college. The years since have been agonizing for Jones. “You could’ve owned a nice piece of this team betting me that it would be that long before we had (another) Super Bowl team,” he said.

Lloyd’s insures Polamalu’s locks PITTSBURGH — Just call Troy Polamalu the man with the million-dollar hair. The long, flowing black hair that tumbles out of Polamalu’s helmet and down his back — it’s nearly three feet long — has been insured for $1 million by Head and Shoulders, the shampoo brand that is endorsed by the Pittsburgh Steelers safety. The insurance was obtained through Lloyd’s of London, which did not reveal what must be done to Polamalu’s hair for anyone to collect on the policy. PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers found an offensive lineman willing to join the team. The Panthers signed Tim Duckworth less than a week after he was waived by New Orleans. The 6-foot-4, 318-pound guard gives the Panthers a maximum 80 players a day before they must trim to 75. Carolina has had a roster opening since offensive lineman Kirk Barton failed to report last week after he was claimed off waivers from Denver. The Panthers were without several players at practice Monday, including receiver Wallace Wright (shoulder), running back Tyrell Sutton (shoulder) and cornerbacks Richard Marshall (knee) and Captain Munnerlyn (calf).

Along the way, the NCAA has looked at a crosscountry trip involving Austin and former Tar Heel Cam Thomas as well as the friendship between assistant coach John Blake and Californiabased agent Gary Wichard. “I think we’re at an all-time high with distractions,” tight end Zack Pianalto said, “so I don’t know if you can add any more or if it makes that much difference.” The Tigers are fully aware of those distractions, too. “It probably benefits us best to focus on where they’re most capable and that’s what we’re going to do,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “We want to see their best players playing against us and we’re preparing a game plan for that. ... Until I see a starting lineup or until I get affirmed information, I don’t think there’s much news.” Davis said players who are certain to be held out before Friday will not travel to Atlanta. Athletic director Dick Baddour said the school is still

investigating the academics side to the probe and would reveal its findings to the NCAA through the week for assistance in determining whether who could or couldn’t play. Baddour said he and chancellor Holden Thorp would be involved in the decisions, even if it comes just before kickoff. “We are working as hard as we can in each case to get a determination as soon as we can,” Baddour said. “That could be fluid. In some situations, we may know more (Tuesday) or Wednesday. It could come down to the end of the week for sure.” That’s not to say LSU’s players mind all the fuss in Chapel Hill. While cornerback Patrick Peterson said the Tigers wanted to see North Carolina’s “best guys on the field,” quarterback Jordan Jefferson sounded eager to take advantage of a depleted roster. “If they’re losing their key guys, then they should have been way more aware of what they did before they did it,” Jefferson said. “We’re preparing for them to play, like I said, but if (Austin) doesn’t, then that’s their loss. “I don’t think (a backup) would be as strong as the starter would, so that’s kind of a better situation.”

FroM 1B The team didn’t release a depth chart Monday before Davis’ weekly news conference, a departure from typical procedure. He wouldn’t say how many players could be held out, though he said he’s using a “fluid” informal depth chart in practice this week. He would, though, reiterate that three-year starter T.J. Yates would be under center against the Tigers after fending off a push from backup Bryn Renner. Yates said the defense has “a little more people in jeopardy than the offensive side of the ball does.” “It’s definitely in the back of your mind,” Yates said. “We kind of want to know before, going into the game. We kind of just want to have it set so we know who’s going to be playing.” The NCAA has twice visited campus looking into whether senior defensive tackle Marvin Austin — projected as a possible NFL first-round pick — and senior receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents. Both players have been working with the second team for much

the real deal. I’m very impressed with him. ... As a former high school coach, just the type of person that he is, he really cares about people.” The Pirates are 2-0 in the past two seasons against Tulsa, including a victory in the 2008 C-USA title game, and that prompted Graham to call East Carolina “the team to beat in this conference.” But those teams were settled at quarterback. This one isn’t, at least not yet. McNeill said he has yet to decide whether former Boston College QB Dominique Davis or sophomore walk-on Brad Wornick will take the first snap Sunday against the Golden Hurricane. The longtime Mike Leach assistant said Wornick at times reminds him of former Tech signal-callers Cody Hodges and Kliff Kingsbury. Davis, Ruffin said, has big-game experience after helping BC reach the 2008 ACC title game, plus the talent and intelligence to run McNeill’s version of the “Air Raid” offense. “In this offense, and what we do, a strong arm is great, but it’s ... when and how you deliver that thing that’s important in this offense,” McNeill said. “Both guys are doing a great job. ... Those guys are battling night and day. ... You’ll see one guy in seven-on-seven just complete great throws.

Then, the next guy in team (drills will) do the same thing.” For the man known around campus as “Coach Ruff,” it’s been a long wait to not only return home but to get that elusive first head coaching opportunity. The Lumberton native and former East Carolina defensive back in the late 1970s spent the past 30 years as a career assistant. He bounced from Austin Peay to Appalachian State to UNLV before landing at Texas Tech in 2000. Following a messy divorce between Leach and the school, McNeill was put in charge on an interim basis for the Red Raiders’ Alamo Bowl victory over Michigan State. Tommy Tuberville got the full-time job and didn’t retain McNeill, who was hired by his alma mater in January after Skip Holtz left for South Florida. “I’m looking forward to seeing our fans and getting around Pirate Nation and getting our football team, more importantly than me, around them,” McNeill said. “They’re not coming to see me. They’re coming to see our football team. “I’m sure it’ll be emotional, and I’m looking forward to the execution of the game operation. That’s the exciting part of it to me. Let’s see who can beat who. I love that part of the game. But I’ll be excited, I’m sure.”

PIRATES FroM 1B While there’s no hiding McNeill’s passion for his alma mater, there are more pressing things to worry about than making a grand entrance this weekend. McNeill’s first game in charge of the two-time defending league champion Pirates, and his first game as a full-time head coach anywhere, comes Sunday in the first C-USA game of the season. “It’s a conference game, but it’s our first game, and it’s the only game we’ve got this week, so all the focus will be on Tulsa,” McNeill said. “The motivation will be there. It’s the next guy up. It’s the first guy up. That’s enough motivation for us.” It helps that McNeill has some familiarity with Tulsa coach Todd Graham. McNeill spent the past decade on Texas Tech’s staff, while Graham was a high school coach in a Dallas suburb before he made the jump to college ball, joining West Virginia’s staff in 2001 and later getting his Division I head coaching job at Rice in 2006. He moved to Tulsa a year later. “I’ve crossed paths with Coach McNeill quite a bit,” Graham said. “It’s genuinely

carolina rookie Brandon LaFell catches a pass as tennessee’s Vincent Fuller defends.

SMITH FroM 1B They’ve thrown 117 passes and had just 70 running plays in three preseason games, but are still looking for their first offensive touchdown. Every receiver, it seems, has flaws. Jarrett has good hands but has trouble getting open and often runs wrong routes. LaFell’s a rookie, and his hands are suspect. Kenny Moore is inconsistent and prone to drops. Wright fumbled Saturday against Tennessee, hurt his shoulder and missed practice Monday. Gettis, Edwards and Guy are erratic rookies. “We are a very young team overall, particularly at the receiver position,” coach John Fox said. “I think we still have a lot of work to do.” Receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said in training camp that he was sure the No. 2 receiver was on the current roster. While the Panthers appear unlikely to go after recently released veterans Antonio Bryant and Laveranues Coles, they need to find an answer quickly. Smith’s return from the second broken bone in his left arm in six months is crucial. He practiced in full pads last week for the first time, and is slowly getting his football conditioning back. “The arm is fine. This Monday cardio-wise is a lot better than last Monday — significantly,” Smith said. “So that’s a relief mentally for me.” Smith said he wanted to play Saturday against Tennessee but wasn’t mentally or physically prepared. He declined to answer if he’ll play Thursday but declared himself ready for Week 1

DWAYNE JARRETT against the New York Giants. “That’s been kind of the focal point and where I think we’re going to start,” Smith said. Who lines up opposite Smith in that game remains a mystery. LaFell may have a slight upper hand, but Smith thinks the entire group needs to mature — and listen to its elders.

“I’m not frustrated that nobody’s grabbed the No. 2 spot,” Smith said. “Ultimately, it’s not my decision. I’m not the coach. I think I’m more frustrated as a wide receiver unit, as an offensive guy, there were plays out there that we left on the field. “I’m also a guy that sits there every week and I hear them talk.”

Portis remain unable to practice with sprained ankles. JAGUARS JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Running back Maurice JonesDrew has not had knee surgery Jacksonville coach Jack Del Rio said. Del Rio squelched the surgery rumors put out by an Internet blog report which said Jones-Drew had the surgery. BEARS LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Linebacker Lance Briggs will not play in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Browns because of a sprained right ankle. RAIDERS ALAMEDA, Calif. — Quarterback Jason Campbell (stinger) is practicing again, but whether he’ll play in Thursday’s preseason finale is uncertain. SAINTS METAIRIE, La. — All-Pro safety Darren Sharper and veteran linebacker Clint Ingram are rehabilitating from surgery on their left knees, and neither has practiced in pads since training camp opened in late July. Currently, they are on the

physically-unable-to-perform — or PUP — list. On Monday, coach Sean Payton could not even guarantee that either player would make it beyond Saturday’s final cut.  Defensive line coach Travis Jones has been suspended 30 days without pay for his admitted role in a real estate scam involving 40 people in northwestern Texas. BROWNS CLEVELAND — Jim Brown informed Cleveland president Mike Holmgren that he will not attend the Sept. 19 ceremony when the team unveils its new ring of honor. Brown’s decision to skip the event stems from Holmgren removing him as an adviser to owner Randy Lerner. TRADES PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles traded fullback Charles Scott to the Arizona Cardinals for cornerback Jorrick Calvin in a swap of rookie draft picks. Calvin was selected one pick behind Scott in the sixth round.  ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Redskins and St. Louis Rams have swapped 2010 picks in a pair of trades. The Redskins sent sixthround selection Dennis Morris to the Rams for a conditional, undisclosed pick. St. Louis sent fifth-round pick Hall Davis to Washington, also for a conditional, undisclosed pick. MINORITY COACHES NEW YORK — A record 96 minority coaches have taken part in this summer’s NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship. The program attracted former Washington tackle Chris Samuels, former Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks, and ex-Rams receiver Isaac Bruce, all of whom retired this year.

Kuroda baffles Phillies Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Hiroki Kuroda took a no-hitter into the eighth inning and Rod Barajas homered in his home debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, who beat the Philadelphia Phillies 3-0 Monday night. Kuroda walked Jayson Werth in the eighth before Raul Ibanez reached on a fielder’s choice groundout. Shane Victorino, hitless in seven career at-bats against Kuroda, hit a clean linedrive single to right field on Kuroda’s 97th pitch of the game to break up the no-hitter. Reds 5, Brewers 4 CINCINNATI — Jay Bruce singled off Trevor Hoffman with two outs in the 10th inning, who extended their NL Central lead to a season-high six games. Hoffman (2-7) walked Ryan Hanigan to open the 10th. Pinch-runner Brandon Phillips stopped at second on Chris Heisey’s two-out single. Bruce, who led off the Reds’ first with a homer, then singled through the hole at shortstop to end it. Since getting swept by the Cardinals in early August, the Reds have taken control by winning 12 of 16 while the Cardinals faded. Astros 3, Cardinals 0 HOUSTON — J.A. Happ threw a two-hitter and rookie Brett Wallace had a career-high three hits and drove in a run to help the Houston beat struggling St. Louis. Braves 9, Mets 3 ATLANTA — Jason Heyward homered and drove in four runs and Martin Prado drove in three runs for NL East-leading Atlanta. Heyward had four hits, including a three-run homer off Pat Misch in the second inning. He has five homers in August after hitting only one in June and July, when he was slowed by a thumb injury. Cubs 14, Pirates 2 CHICAGO — Carlos Zambrano allowed one unearned run in 51⁄3 innings and hit a two-run homer to lead Chicago.Mike Quade won his first game at Wrigley Field as manager. D’backs 7, Padres 2 PHOENIX — Mark Reynolds hit a pair of tworun home runs and drove in five runs. The Diamondbacks won their fourth in five games, extending the Padres’ longest skid of the season to five. Reynolds homered to the opposite field with two outs to cap a four-run first inning for Arizona. Miguel Montero scored on the homer after hitting a two-run double. Rockies 2, Giants 1 Colorado rallied in the ninth, keyed by Carlos Gonzalez’s triple and a throwing error. American League CLEVELAND — Brent Lillibridge atoned for a costly error in the ninth inning by hitting a two-out homer in the 11th as the White Sox opened a critical 10-game road trip with a 10-6 win over the Cleveland Indians. Alex Rios homered, drove in four runs and had five of Chicago’s 21 hits as the White Sox won for just the sixth time in 15 games. Rays 6, Blue Jays 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Carlos Pena homered and drove in four runs, Wade Davis won his sixth straight decision. Yankees 11, Athletics 5 NEW YORK — Robinson Cano, Mark Teixeira and the New York Yankees tagged Trevor Cahill for the second time this season, emphatically ending the All-Star’s run of pitching excellence. Marcus Thames hit a three-run shot to extend his home run streak and New York (81-50) got back-toback long balls from Teixeira and Cano to move a season-best 31 games over .500. Rangers 3, Royals 0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — C.J. Wilson allowed two hits over 72⁄3 innings. Wilson improved to 7-0 in nine starts since the All-Star break. It is the most victories in the majors in that span.

Manny could boost Sox Associated Press

CLEVELAND — Manny Ramirez will have to follow two nonnegotiable rules if he’s going to play for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen. No. 1: Stretch with your teammates. No. 2: Be on the field for the national anthem. That’s it. Well, he may have to trim the dreadlocks. But that’s about it. “I want him to feel comfortable here,” Guillen said Monday. “I want him to like it here. I want him to have fun and I want him to be Manny.” Back to frighten pitchers who haven’t seen him regularly in a few years, Ramirez will try to get Chicago back to the AL playoffs. As expected, the White Sox claimed the unpredictable but productive 12-time All-Star slugger on waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers, counting on his powerful bat, full of so many October swings and homers, to help them make a postseason push. “Hopefully, he can come in here and give us some help,” White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko said. “We need to make up some ground. There’s no doubt Manny can hit. He makes any team better.” Chicago began a key 10-game

trip to Cleveland, Boston and Detroit on Monday night, although Ramirez is not expected to join the White Sox, his fourth major league team, until Tuesday. They began the day 4 1⁄2 games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central. The 38-year-old Ramirez returns to the AL after spending parts of three seasons in Los Angeles, a stay that ended on a somewhat sour note. He batted .311 with eight homers and 40 RBIs in 66 games with the Dodgers this season, but was on the disabled list from July 20 to Aug. 20 with a right calf strain and missed 33 games. Guillen said it’s possible Ramirez could play on Tuesday if he feels up to it. Guillen plans to use Ramirez primarily as a designated hitter and will bat him fifth. The White Sox are trying to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2008. That year, they traded for Ken Griffey Jr. before the July 31 deadline, but he had little impact down the stretch or in the postseason. Griffey and Ramirez certainly were different characters. Guillen feels Ramirez is misunderstood. He doesn’t anticipate having any trouble with him, and he’s confident the enigmatic superstar will be easily accepted in Chicago’s clubhouse.

Source: Charlotte to host 2017 PGA Championship Associated Press

RALEIGH — Since Quail Hollow Club returned to the PGA Tour in 2003, big-name golfers from Tiger Woods to Phil Mickelson have said the Charlotte course could be the site for a major championship. That will come in 2017 when it will host the PGA Championship, the final major of each pro season. A state government official with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Monday that the PGA of America will make a formal announcement today. The official spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to preempt the official announcement. Quail Hollow’s difficult but fair old-style layout has drawn one of the top non-major fields of the year. Woods, who won there in 2007, chose Charlotte as his first non-major tournament after he missed much of the beginning of this season when his extramarital affairs were exposed. While Woods missed the cut, he said a year earlier that Quail Hollow would be a good spot for a U.S. Open or PGA Championship. “You add rough, make it a par70 and there you go,” he said. Added Geoff Ogilvy during last May’s event: “It’s a course that feels a step above, challenge-wise. ... I think if we all turned up here and had a U.S. Open or PGA (Championship), it would feel like a normal U.S. Open or a PGA. It does feel like a major kind of place.” Gov. Beverly Perdue, Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx and club president Johnny Harris all are expected at today’s announcement, a public relations firm said. Quail Hollow’s first major will be part of a busy time for the Carolinas hosting golf’s biggest events. The 2012 PGA Championship will be at Kiawah Island, S.C. In 2014 Pinehurst’s famed No. 2 course will host the men’s and women’s U.S. Opens in consecutive weeks. Harris said in May he was interested in Quail Hollow hosting a big event, whether it was a PGA Championship or Ryder Cup. PGA officials have made numerous trips to the course as they decided on the tournament in 2017, the earliest year in which the course hadn’t been picked.

TENNIS NEW YORK — Venus Williams landed awkwardly on her recently injured leg after hitting a swinging volley and grimaced. It was about the only glitch during her return to tennis. Playing for the first time in two months after spraining her left kneecap, Williams beat Roberta Vinci of Italy 6-4, 6-1 to reach the U.S. Open’s second round. Kim Clijsters stretched her winning streak in New York to 15 matches despite a brief blip in a 60, 7-5 victory over 104th-ranked Greta Arn of Hungary. Andy Roddick, who turned 28 on Monday, beat Stephane Robert of France 6-3, 6-2, 6-2. Roger Federer hit a between-the-legs winner and prevailed 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in a late match against Brian Dabul. Other winners included No. 6 Nikolay Davydenko, No. 11 Marin Cilic, No. 13 Jurgen Melzer, No. 17 Gael Monfils and No. 22 Juan Carlos Ferrero. No. 27 Fernando Gonzalez quit in the third set of his match against Ivan Dodig because of a knee injury.

Women moving into the second round included surprise 2009 U.S. Open quarterfinalist Melanie Oudin, French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, French Open runner-up Sam Stosur, twotime major finalist Elena Dementieva, No. 10 Victoria Azarenka, No. 13 Marion Bartoli, No. 16 Shahar Peer and No. 24 Daniela Hantuchova, who beat former No. 1 Dinara Safina 6-3, 6-4.

WORLD HOOPS ISTANBUL — The United States survived its first test at the world championships, edging Brazil 70-68 when Leandro Barbosa’s shot rattled out at the buzzer. Kevin Durant scored 27 points and Chauncey Billups added 15 for the Americans (3-0), who essentially clinched Group B with the victory. But this was further proof that a world title won’t come easily for this young U.S. team — if it comes at all.

NBA MIAMI — Former West Virginia star Da’Sean Butler has signed with the Heat, becoming the team’s 18th player under contract going into training camp. Doctors believe the torn ACL in Butler’s left knee should be fully healed in time for the season.  CHARLOTTE — Michael Jordan and his Bobcats team will donate $250,000 to middle-school athletics programs in Charlotte. Charlotte schools cut $1.25 million cut from athletics programs this year and school officials announced a plan to charge students $50 for middle-schoolers and $100 high-schoolers who play.

COLLEGE HOOPS LAS VEGAS — MGM Resorts International was under investigation after the underage son of Michael Jordan bragged on Twitter about partying at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub, Nevada gambling regulators said. Officials were examining whether the casino operator violated laws prohibiting drinking or gambling by minors, Nevada Gaming Control Board enforcement chief Jerry Markling said. People under 21 often try to gamble or drink in Las Vegas, but punishment for casino operators depend on the circumstances, Markling said. Jordan’s 19-year-old son Marcus Jordan tweeted Aug. 20 about spending $35,000 at Haze at Aria Resort & Casino. “Last night was stupid... 35K at Haze,” the University of Central Florida sophomore guard said. “Totals 50K something the whole day.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NORMAN, Okla. — Whether or not defensive tackle Adrian Taylor (ankle) plays for Oklahoma in its opener Saturday against Utah State will be a game-day decision.  BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer says speedy sophomore tailback David Wilson will play instead of redshirting this season. Virginia Tech has had recordsetting freshmen tailbacks in the past two seasons in Darren Evans and Ryan Williams. Both are healthy.  COLUMBIA, Mo. — Suspended Missouri running back Derrick Washington was charged with sexually assaulting a former tutor in her apartment over the summer.

WAYne hinshAW/SALISBURY POST

Receivers, from left: Gerron Bryant, Brandon Bunn, Brian Terwilliger and Eric Morman.

INDIANS FROM 1B “He gets it done in all aspects,” Hester said. “Huge heart. Great student, near the top of his class. I don’t mean to downgrade Patrick’s talent, by any means, but his intelligence helps him play better than his talent.” Daniel Griffith, the former North Rowan phenom, is an experienced backup. He got into in three games last year. Jacob Charest, a Shrine Bowler who played at Butler, also enters the mix. The Illinois transfer has three years of eligibility remaining. “His body and arm are Division I,” Hester said. “We got him because he wanted to play with his brother, and that gives us another top-notch talent. He’s likeable. He fits in.” Freshman wideout Nate Charest is one of Catawba’s more heralded incoming recruits. He had 41 touchdowns playing on a tremendous team at Butler — and against high-level competition. Young quarterback Chance Green (6-foot-6) also has potential. Returning receivers include steady Eric Morman (37 catches, 397 yards), Brandon Bunn (32 catches, 520 yards), leaper Gerron Bryant (31 catches, 605 yards) and speedy former QB Brian Terwilliger (17 catches, 257 yards). Bunn, who had 12 TD catches, is a preseason All-SAC pick. “He’s a tough, physical guy who will block, and 12 touchdowns in just 10 games is just phenomenal,” Hester said. Bryant effortlessly finished Catawba’s grueling summer fitness test with a cartwheel and a back handspring, which says something about the athleticism he offers. Former tight end Grayson Downs (13 catches) will be one of the offense’s keys. Downs is a 270-pound guy with virtually no fat, and his unique skill set is one of the main reasons Catawba is tweaking its offense. The Indians won’t have as standard tight end or fullback this season. Instead, they’ll go with a third wideout in their base set and Downs will play a position that’s common in the NFL — the H-back. The “H” is for hybrid, meaning Downs will sometimes line up as a fullback, sometimes as a tight end. In Catawba’s terminology, Downs will be referred to as a Y-back. Livingstone transfer Chris Peoples, exceptionally athletic at 6-5, gives Catawba a second option at the position. “We need to take advantage of Grayson’s versatility because he’ll give defenses something to worry about instead of us just saying, ‘OK, here we are with a tight end and fullback,’ ” Hester said. “He can block, catch and run.” Opponents outrushed the Indians by 84 yards per game last season, and it’s no secret Catawba needs to do better in that department. The top returning running back is Josh Wright (242 rushing yards), and he was just starting to shine when he sustained a painful turf toe injury.

The big hope is that Bobby Morrison, a Shrine Bowler in his days at West Iredell, can stay healthy. He’s overcome a broken a foot and a torn ACL, and he’s still only a freshman as far as eligibility. “If he gets back to form, gets back to being Bobby, he’s a differencemaker,” Hester said. Redshirt freshman Rashaun Gaither, a 2,000-yard rusher for Starmount his senior year, should get carries. The offensive line is now under the direction of Catawba All-American Brian Hinson, who was the head coach at East Rowan for three years. Two full-time starters are back, although preseason All-SAC choice Zane Gibson is switching from center to guard. Kemp McSween, a starting tackle, returns. Daylon McAlexander, who has played frequently, is penciled in as the center. Moving over from tight end, Lavar Marsh is a probable starter at tackle. Big guard Ethan Winn has the look of a future All-SAC performer. Nick Bodenheimer is also a candidate to start, and an impressive group of true freshmen are counted on for depth. Other than the rushing yardage, the only stat that helps explain Catawba’s struggles last season is a 31-percent success rate on third down. Thomas Trexler, who booted six field goals in 2009, is expected to add the punting duties to his placekicking chores. D.J. Davis is a fine long snapper. Dennis will hold unless someone else emerges. Terwilliger will be the primary kickoff returner, and the surehanded Bunn can handle punt returns. Sutton is the big name returning on the defensive line, and he’s an anchor both from a production and leadership standpoint. Sutton, who had 18 tackles for loss as a junior, took the Indians’ first losing season since 1994 personally. “This is a 290-pound man who handled his fitness tests like a walk in the park,” Hester said. “He could have a special year.” Leading candidates to join Sutton on the defensive front are brothers Julian Hartsell and Alex Hartsell, Robert Brown, James Hunt, Damien Lee and Brandon Weedon. Lee, a Reidsville product, has added 30 pounds of muscle since arriving. He was MVP of the 2AA state championship game in 2008. The talented Weedon is coming off an ACL injury. Two-thirds of the linebacking corps is set with junior Lakeem Perry (65 tackles last season) and sophomore Cory Johnson (69) returning. Aaron Rainey, a former fullback, should make an impact at linebacker along with Jeb Bass and Dennis McFatten. “We’ve gone from being extremely shallow to having some very good depth at the position,” Hester said. The secondary, led by preseason All-SAC choice Jumal Rolle, who had three interceptions last season, could be stout. L.J. McCray is a returning starter

Grayson Downs, a former tight end, could play a vital role as a Y-back. Downs made 13 catches last season. at safety, and Bryant Vennable and Derrick Brown have played a lot of snaps. Kewone Harris was impressive last season before injuring a hamstring. Casey Hall is moving to the secondary from running back, and Scottie Floyd has been a force on special teams. “Honestly, it’s hard to pick just

four to start, and that’s a good situation,” Hester said. Assessing the defense, Hester expects better tackling. No one questioned Catawba’s defensive speed last season, but wrapping up ballcarriers and receivers was sometimes an issue. “We’ve got to gang-tackle more,” Hester said. “It’s harder to break the

tackle of two guys than one.” Hester said the team motto for 2010 is “iron sharpens iron,” and he’s hoping the Indians will be play tougher than they did in 2009. It’s a critical season for Catawba, which is adding UNC Pembroke to the schedule for 2011. Seven wins would please most people, and the Indians are aiming even higher.

McKendree, an unmarried woman to W.R. Starkey, Jr, Trustee (s), which was dated July 11, 2008 and recorded on July 18, 2008 in Book 1125 at Page 949, Rowan County Registry, North Carolina. Default having been made in the payment of the note thereby secured by the said Deed of Trust and the undersigned, Brock & Scott, PLLC, having been substituted as Trustee in said Deed of Trust, and the holder of the note evidencing said indebtedness having directed that the Deed of Trust be foreclosed, the undersigned Substitute Trustee will offer for sale at the courthouse door of the county courthouse where the property is located, or the usual and customary location at the county courthouse for conducting the sale on September 9, 2010 at 10:00AM, and will sell to the highest bidder for cash the following described property situated in Rowan County, North Carolina, to wit: Lying in Gold Hill Township, Rowan County, North Carolina, and being all of Lot No. Twenty-Five (25) of Windsor Home Place, Section One, Phase One, as shown on survey thereof recorded in Book of Maps 9995 at Page 4482 in the Office of the Register of Deeds for Rowan County, North Carolina Save and except any releases, deeds of release or prior conveyances of record. Said property is commonly known as 216 Windsorwood Trail, Rockwell, NC 28138. Third party purchasers must pay the excise tax, and the court costs of Forty-Five Cents (45) per One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) pursuant to NCGS 7A-308(a)(1). A cash deposit (no personal checks) of five percent (5%) of the purchase price, or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, will be required at the time of the sale. Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing. Said property to be offered pursuant to this Notice of Sale is being offered for sale, transfer and conveyance "AS IS WHERE IS." There are no representations of warranty relating to the title or any physical, environmental, health or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to the property being offered for sale. This sale is made subject to all prior liens, unpaid taxes, any unpaid land transfer taxes, special assessments, easements, rights of way, deeds of release, and any other encumbrances or exceptions of record. To the best of the knowledge and belief of the undersigned, the current owner(s) of the property is/are Janet L. McKendree. An Order for possession of the property may be issued pursuant to G.S. 45-21.29 in favor of the purchaser and against the party or parties in possession by the clerk of superior court of the county in which the property is sold. Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon 10 days' written notice to the landlord. The notice shall also state that upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee.

Noise protection is vital for hearing Dear Dr. Gott: For years, I worked in a heavy-equipment industry that manufactured farm equipment. Though working in an engineering position, I was often exposed to loud noises in the shops for long periods of time. In later years, OSHA required hearing protection. Earlier job training did not warn us of the dangers of loud noise. I now suffer from a conDR. PETER stant ringing in my ears. At GOTT 65, I’m in good health and take no medications other than Allegra D for my nasal congestion. My blood pressure is good, and I just had a recent checkup. Is there some medication that I can take that might reduce or eliminate the noise I hear all the time? I mentioned the problem to my doctor and just got a blank look. Dear Reader: There are a number of conditions that can

cause tinnitus (ringing in the ears). For example, more than 200 medications, kidney malfunction, tumors, wax buildup, ear infection, dental issues including temporomandibularjoint syndrome, migraine headaches, trauma, inner-ear injuries, hypertension and exposure to loud noises can be to blame. It’s likely that work exposure is the culprit, but you should request referral to an otolaryngologist, (ear-noseand-throat specialist), who can perform testing to determine whether an underlying, treatable cause is to blame. Your primary-care physician can certainly remove a wax impaction and can treat infection with antibiotics; however, because you have a positive history, I believe a specialist might get to the bottom of the issue. Until you determine the problem, it is difficult to determine whether drug therapy, hearing aids, counseling or another form of therapy will be most beneficial. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy

of my Health Report “Ear Infections and 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. Dear Dr. Gott: I am a senior citizen and always read your column. My problem is that I’ve lost my taste buds. Nothing I drink or eat has any taste to me. What can I do to get my sense of taste back? Dear Reader: Some loss of taste (and smell) is common with aging. Other than that, there are several possibilities, including poor dental hygiene, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, a smoking habit, allergies, sinus problems and medications. Make an appointment with your primary-care physician. If he or she determines the problem is age-related, there may not be a way to reverse it. If, however, your physician

has you on a specific medication with even a minor side effect of loss of taste, a simple switch to another drug might be all that is necessary. If you smoke, quitting will make a big difference. If you need dental work, that option might provide the relief you are seeking. Work with your doctor to get to the root of the problem. Only then can you take steps to be able to stop and smell the roses once again. In the interim, prepare meals that are pleasing to look at. Vary the colors, and make an attractive plate presentation. You don’t need weight loss added to your loss of smell. 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.

Disturbed’s fifth ‘CD’ tackles mature themes Disturbed is back with their fifth studio album, “Asylum,” and the band shows it is a metal band with a conscience. The first single off Asylum is “Another Way to Die,” featuring front man David Drainman’s signature mix of hard, scratchy vocals and smooth melodic crooning reminiscent of Ed

Kowalczyk of Live. But what makes the group sound distinct is its subject material. “Another Way to Die” is about global warming with lyrics such as: “Glaciers melt as we pollute the sky/ a sign of devastation coming.” On a second track, “Never Again,” Drainman goes to his Jewish roots and sings of

the Holocaust: “Exterminated by the Nazi war machine/ we will remember/ let the story be told.” But avid fans shouldn’t worry about their beloved nu-metal band getting too preachy on them. “Asylum” is still packed with songs like “Animal,” which brings to mind the current werewolf craze, and the album’s

title track “Asylum,” which is about the mental torture of a breakup. The album opens with the band’s first instrumental track, “Remnants,” which sounds like the intro to a dark Quentin Tarantino film. The track gives guitarist Don Donegan a chance to shine, which he does explosively.

Tuesday, Aug. 31 Your prospects for developing both tangible and intangible things look extremely encouraging in the year ahead. As a result, you could become involved in some of the most delightful experiences of your life. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Although Lady Luck might play a constructive role in your affairs, both financially and personally, she may not extend her favors onto others who are involved. Enjoy your good fortune. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You are likely to handle any and all major issues adroitly, while petty or frivolous ones may have you scurrying for the aspirin bottle. Go figure. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Stay in contact with your major sources, and keep your eyes open for any hidden financial opportunities not readily discernible. Something big is stirring behind the scenes. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It could be one of those times when it is likely to be easier to please outsiders than it will be to placate those who are near and dear to you. Do what you can, and don’t look back. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Large opportunities could come in small packages where work or career is concerned. Take advantage of any chances you get to better yourself, regardless of the size. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You can get along with almost anyone, so it usually doesn’t matter with whom you socialize. However, avoid someone you suspect is using you merely to get to someone else. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Durability and quality of merchandise should take precedence over price or fads when it comes to making a major purchase, such as furniture or expensive clothes. Take your time, and shop wisely. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Although you are likely to be the recipient of some good news, you might not fully appreciate it if you’ve been feeling that everything is going against you. Don’t let negativity deflate good tidings. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — You can reverse any losing proposition in which you have found yourself involved. In fact, Dame Fortune has something good in mind for you. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Focus only on your hopes and good expectations, and put all negativity out of your mind, because things will have a way of working out well. Remember, when one door closes, another is opened. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — It’s inconsequential if someone doesn’t believe in you, as long as you believe in yourself. You should let the sum total of all your achievements validate your worth and your abilities. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you have any important dealings with someone new, try to make a friend of him or her first before proceeding onto business. Once both of you are at ease, your negotiations will go more smoothly. Trying to patch up a broken romance?

On which suit would you play? BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Jesse Stuart, who penned many short stories about Southern Appalachia, said, “Write something to suit yourself and many people will like it; write something to suit everybody and scarcely anyone will care for it.” In bridge deals, declarer must suit himself as to which suit to play on after first gaining the lead. And in this deal it is important. South is in six no-trump. West leads the heart 10. Should declarer play on spades, or on diamonds? After South opened one no-trump, showing 15-17 points, North expected six no-trump to make. Since it was just possible that the defenders could take the first two tricks in spades, North used the Gerber convention to learn that his partner had both missing aces. Note, though, that if South had shown one ace and no king, North would have been none the wiser. But he suited himself and felt more comfortable when South admitted to those aces. South has 11 top tricks: two spades, four hearts, two diamonds and three clubs. Should he try to get a third diamond winner or a third spade winner while losing at most one trick in the process? How should he play each suit?

In diamonds, the best play for three tricks without losing two is to lead low to dummy’s 10. This wins whenever the suit is 3-3 or West has both the queen and jack. The total chance is just over 52 percent. In spades, cash the ace, cross to dummy in another suit, and lead a low spade toward the nine. The chances here are much better — nearly 72 percent.

Attacks on teachers not tolerated

SURPRISE FAREWELL

School official: Violence calls for ‘most serious discipline that is at our disposal’ BY SARAH CAMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

Sarah Kellogg, president of the Historic Salisbury Foundation board, talks with a teary-eyed Jack Thomson at his surprise going- away party at the Salisbury Depot Tuesday evening. Thomson, the managing director for the Historic Salisbury Foundation, recently resigned his post to become the new executive director for the Preservation Society of Asheville & Buncombe County.

Big Sweep in need of volunteers

“He can go from a meeting in a suit to doing physical labor. He’s a jack-of-alltrades.”

They pulled it off. Hundreds of people in Salisbury kept a secret, and Jack Thomson, outgoing director for the Historic Salisbury Foundation, demonstrated true surprise at his farewell party Tuesday night. Followed by true tears. Thomson will become the new executive director for the Preservation Society of Asheville & Buncombe County. Tuesday’s ruse began when friends lured him to Uncle Buck’s for a beer. As wellwishers gathered inside the Salisbury Depot, Maria Thomson placed a distress call to her husband, feigning a medical emergency. “I was kind of afraid he wouldn’t come,” she joked. Thomson did the right thing and rushed to the depot, where he appeared overwhelmed by the crowd. As he wiped his eyes, Thomson was often speechless, resorting to waving his fist in mock anger and embracing guests with a bear hug. He soon regained his voice and took the microphone, recalling several controversies

Salisbury-Rowan school officials said the recent assault on a Salisbury High School teacher by a student was handled quickly and effectively, following district guidelines. “We have a code of conduct and policies in place so we can take action immediately,” said Rita Foil, the school system’s public information officer. “These situations are taken very seriously and board policy is followed.” Salisbury Police charged 16-year-old Jacquese Antonio Howie, 511 E. Cemetery St., with assault on a school official, damage to property and communicating threats after police say he grabbed teacher Mary Ann Archer around the neck and pushed her during class Thursday. Salisbury High Principal Dr. Windsor Eagle said Archer did not attempt to restrain the student, opting instead to call the school’s front office for assistance. School personnel are allowed to use physical restraint — the use of physical force to restrict the free movement of all or a part of a student’s body — in a number of cases outlined in the school board’s policies. Physical restraint is considered to be a reasonable use of force as needed for self-defense and to maintain order or to prevent or break up a fight. Administrative staff members and school resource officer Lynn Foster responded to the call for help. The extent of Archer’s injuries remains unknown, but

that erupted shortly after he began directing Historic Salisbury six years ago. Two weeks into his tenure, First United Methodist Church announced plans to demolish three downtown buildings in preparation for an expansion. “And then Davis Cooke raised hell about painting the Hall House kitchen red,” Thomson said. Thomson said he became close friends with Cooke, who lives near the Josephus Hall House owned by Historic Salisbury. Cooke said he just wanted to see if the organization’s new leader had a backbone. “I was testing his mettle,” Cooke said. Thomson won that battle

Rowan County’s Big Sweep cleanup is in need of volunteers to help pick up trash from around High Rock Lake on Sept. 18. From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the volunteers will split into teams to remove trash from the wildlife and boating access areas at Dutch Second Creek, Flat Creek, Tuckertown Reservoir and File Road, and at Eagle Point Nature Preserve. NC Big Sweep is a nonprofit organization that conducts year-round education to prevent litter, according to its website. Each fall, the group coordinates North Carolina’s Big Sweep cleanup, which is part of the International Coastal Cleanup. Volunteers from all 100 counties in the state and about 90 countries worldwide come together to clean up their land and waterways. Mike Lambert, a naturalist with Dan Nicholas Park, coordinates the event in Rowan County. He said the cleanup benefits not only the environment but also the people who do business and have fun at the lake. “This is a chance to clean up the waterways, and it doesn’t happen otherwise without volunteers,” Lambert said. “If places are clean, people will return to reuse the facilities, and the recreational use will be there.” Those who want to volunteer may call Lambert at 704-216-7833. Last year, he said, 140 volunteers cleaned up six sites at High Rock Lake. They picked up 207 bags of trash, 38 tires, three 55-gallon drums and other debris. for

ATTACKS FROM 1A Eagle said she will return to class today. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ According to the Code of Conduct, the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education has zero tolerance for violent acts, criminal acts and behavior which is unsafe and potentially harmful to self and others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a school system, we do not tolerate the type of behavior that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reporting about ,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Walter Hart, assistant superintendent for administration, told the Post on Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect that all our students, teachers and staff members should be able to work and attend school in a safe and appropriate climate.â&#x20AC;? During acts of physical violence, school personnel are expected to weigh the circumstances of the situation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including size of students and severity of violence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and to act accordingly to intervene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected that adults are going to help maintain order in our school buildings,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to make rational decisions based on the circumstances.â&#x20AC;? Hart said school personnel can receive nonviolent crisis prevention training through the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exceptional childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s department, which provides them with skills to help

SWEEP FROM 1A an estimated 5380 pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t respect these areas and they just abuse

de-escalate violent situations. New teachers also receive instruction on classroom management and student discipline. Behavior intervention plans can be created for students with persistent discipline problems. Hart said some instances in which students become physically violent occur so rapidly that they pose a challenge to even trained personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily predict all of the behaviors that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll deal with,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ The Code of Conduct outlines penalties for misbehavior that range from in-school suspension to expulsion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our stance is going to be when a kid acts in a violent manner and is actually a safety menace, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to seek to enforce the most serious discipline that is at our disposal,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. Suspension and expulsion are considered the most serious forms of student punishment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a student demonstrates violent behavior and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear they are a safety menace, the likelihood is slim that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be back,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. The assault of another student or school personnel is considered a level II penalty and students in ninth through 12th grades automatically receive a 10-day suspension.

Hart said principals can recommend a longer period of suspension that can be approved by Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of variables that come into play when deciding what disciplinary action to take,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each case has to be weighed on its merit to determine what outcome is appropriate.â&#x20AC;? Students with a history of misbehavior can be recommended to participate in alternative learning programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We make an honest attempt to follow through beyond just suspension,â&#x20AC;? Hart said. The school systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s middle schools offer onsite Second Chance Alternative Learning Environments (SCALE) and high school students can attend the alternative school Henderson Independent High. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Hart said the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary expectation is that children should not act in a violent manner while on school campus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, when you deal with about 20,000 students every day, there are some that make very inappropriate decisions,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most come to school and behave themselves reasonably well, some do not, but they represent about a fraction of a fraction of our students.â&#x20AC;?

them,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pick it up, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just left there â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the cans and bottles and everything.â&#x20AC;? New this year in the cleanup effort is a campaign to recycle fishing line. By the

date of the Big Sweep, recycling bins will be installed at Tamarac Marina and Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minnow Farm where fishing line and spools can be deposited. Material for the bins was donated by Southeastern Plumbing Supply, and the signs were donated by Chapman Custom Signs. The fishing line and spools will be shipped prepaid to Berkley Pure Fishing Co. in Iowa for recycling into tackle boxes, spools, fish habitat and toys, Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a lot of fishing line when we clean the shoreline,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When fishermen get their rod and reel tangled ... theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just take a knife and cut it and just toss it on the shoreline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just lying everywhere.â&#x20AC;? He said birds can get tangled in the fishing line, which sometimes is still attached to metal hooks. Last year, Lambert said, a cleanup team even released a kitten who was entangled. For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Sweep cleanup, volunteers will meet at the entrance to Dan Nicholas Park at 9 a.m. on Sept. 18, Lambert said. There, they will receive site information, trash bags, data cards and pencils, gloves and a limited number of trash grabbers. Volunteers should wear old shoes and clothes, Lambert said, and they should not wear flip-flops or open-toed shoes. They are encouraged to bring water, snacks, bug spray and sunscreen. While the event is scheduled until 1 p.m., Lambert said volunteers often leave earlier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as soon as their teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sites are clean. Lunch will not be provided. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a couple hours, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not lot of time involved,â&#x20AC;? Lambert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in and out pretty quick.â&#x20AC;? For more information or to register as a volunteer, call Mike Lambert at 704-216-7833 or e-mail him at james.lambert@rowancountync.gov.

Main Street Challenge 5K in June is much akin to a nighttime celebration. Salisbury will emulate the same joint effort with many city departments coming together to keep the event safe and efficient. The police, fire and street departments, as well as Parks and Recreation and others will come together with the Salisbury Rowan Runners Club and Downtown Salisbury in a coordinated effort. The 5K distance is 3.1 miles and is the most popular distance in America for fitness events, being achievable by runners and walkers of nearly every caliber. The BB&T Sunset Run encourages participation by walkers. Fifteen- to 17minute miles will complete the course in less than an hour, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the post-race celebration. Special amenities for every 5K participant are worth considering. Everyone gets a longsleeve, dri-fit wicking shirt, worth every bit of the registration price alone. There will be special overall awards and spe-

The fun run will start at 8:45 p.m., follow a protected course on Church and Fisher Streets and finish also at the same finish line as the adults. Organizers have a goal of 100 kids in the fun run, which would make it the largest one ever in Rowan County. Fun

They will follow Innes until taking a right on Church before finishing at the intersection of Church and West Fisher. The course is very fast after a couple of hills in the first mile. The greatest percentage of these runners will be coming from out of town, and quite a few will be visiting for the first time. Salisbury has never had a downtown night race. China Grove has a long-running one that sets the bar pretty high, but BB&T and many other sponsors thought that the perfect night to have one was Sept. 3.

United Way kicks off campaign Friday

Singapore ambassador tours NCRC

B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

The Rowan County United Way has a host of activities planned for its campaign kickoff Friday in downtown Salisbury. The agency is partnering with Downtown Salisbury Friday Night Out. The free event and activities will be from 5:30-9 p.m. in the 100 block of West Fisher Street. Returning attractions include the corporate soap box derby race, a featured band and concessions with the Kiwanis Club. This year’s featured band is Hip Pocket Band. The soapbox derby will begin at 6 p.m. on North Main Street. Six racers competed in the race in 2009, which was the second year for the race. Amanda Hesse, chairwoman for the kickoff event, said all 16 United Way agencies will be represented at the evening’s festivities. “We are looking for a great evening. It’s always a good way to kick off the United Way campaign,” she said. Last year, Hesse said, an estimated 1,000 people gathered on the streets to watch the derby and participate in other activities. “It’s a good family night out,” she said. The night also will feature a half-mile Kids’ Fun Run, sponsored by Rowan Regional Medical Center. The race won’t start until 8:45 p.m. The proceeds from registration fees will go the United Way. BB&T, with the help of 11 other sponsors, is underwriting the costs of the 5K run/walk, so all proceeds from registration fees can go to the Rowan County United Way. The 5K Sunset Run/Walk will take off from the 100 block of East Fisher Street around 8 p.m. All participants will be offered glow-in-the-dark necklaces to wear. The BB&T 5K Run/Walk’s course will head down East Fisher Street to South Long Street, proceed to East Bank Street, hit South Main Street, proceed south to Fulton Street (at Curt and Geri’s Dairy Bar), travel north on South Fulton Street to Innes Street and loop over to South Church Street and a finish line near the Salisbury Post’s loading dock. There will also be inflatables, slides and pony rides for the children. “People will have a blast with all the different activities. It’s a great night downtown,” she said. Hesse said the car dealers who participate in the campaign will have activities going on along with the agencies. Rick Eldridge is coordinating the car dealers’ participation for the kickoff. “It’s time to do it again. We are thankful and the car dealers are excited to be a part of it,” he said. Four local car dealers — Ben Mynatt Nissan, Gerry Wood Auto Group, Team Chevrolet and Cloninger Ford/Toyota — will each have a car on display. One of those cars will go to a United Way contributor, whose name will be drawn at the end of

KANNAPOLIS — After touring the N.C. Research Campus, Singapore’s ambassador to the United States said she would encourage companies to consider Kannapolis as they expand globally. Chan Heng Chee said Tuesday she saw several opportunities for collaboration while visiting the life sciences hub in downtown Kannapolis as the guest of U.S. Rep. Larry Kissell (D-NC). “This expands our knowledge of what’s available and potential interests and partnerships,” she said. “I will tell people at the Biopolis that I’ve been there.” The Singapore government built Biopolis, a high-tech re-

search park recognized as a leader in biomedical sciences. The ambassador’s visit was the third of Kissell’s “reverse trade missions” and included stops at Fort Bragg and two green energy small businesses, SBM Solar in Concord and Vision Motor Cars in Charlotte. The events bring international representatives and business leaders to North Carolina to help spur the local economy. “At some point in time, we hope something clicks,” he said. The ambassador for the Republic of Zambia visited Cabarrus County last month as the Zambian government works with Kissell’s office to purchase mobile hospital trailers manufactured by Golden Gait Trail-

Rowan County Junior Dairy Show I

t’s practically a “lead pipe lock” that the day of the Rowan County Junior Dairy Show will be the hottest day of the year. Happily, during this extremely hot and humid summer, this year’s show was an exception. Numbers of exhibitors and cattle were down some as the cycle of Rowan County children exhibiting dairy cattle is in a trough at BRAD the moment, JOHNSON with 21 children exhibiting 44 head. Mercie Payne of Dobson served as the judge and did an excellent job evaluating showmanship followed by the type classes. Children participating in Cloverbud Showmanship (ages 5-8) were Luke Carpenter, Haley Correll, Colby Menius, Sydney Nash and Madison Noble. Ryan Menius was selected by Mrs. Payne to win Junior Showmanship (ages 912), followed by Jonathan Luther, Victoria Moore, Jackson Noble and Hannah Baysinger Lauren Luther topped Intermediate Showmanship (ages 13-15), while Chris Martin, Jacob Watson, Va-

lerie Karriker and Jacob Karriker rounded out the division. Among the “big kids,” Steven Wetmore was named champion of Senior Showmanship (ages 16-19), followed by Shelby Karriker, Laura Watson, Samantha Stokes and Larry Benton. Valerie Karriker exhibited the Grand Champion Ayrshire, while Chris Martin exhibited the Grand Champion Brown Swiss. Martin also exhibited the Junior Champion Brown Swiss. Ryan Menius exhibited the Grand Champion Holstein (had previously been named the Junior Champion), while Laura Watson exhibited the Senior Champion Holstein. Steven Wetmore exhibited the Grand Champion Jersey. Rowan County Holstein Club members solicit Rowan County and area businesses and individuals for donations to sponsor the show and to provide premium money to the exhibitors. The invaluable support of these businesses and individuals is greatly appreciated. • • • I’ve had several phone calls from Rowan County producers asking about reseeding cool-season grass/legume pastures or hay fields. Yes, now is the ideal window for just that purpose

(through mid-September ideally, but may be sown through the end of October). Cool-season grasses and legumes most commonly grown in this area include (perennials) tall fescue, orchardgrass, (annuals) oats, barley, rye, ryegrass, (legumes) alfalfa, and the clovers. I cannot suggest strongly enough for producers to have a current soil test in hand and to fertilize appropriately. We have soil test kits available at the Rowan County Cooperative Extension office at 2727-A Old Concord Road. Producers send their soil samples to the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Soil Test Lab, which conducts soil analysis for free. The only cost to producers is postage. Several other suggestions to producers include: • Plant new, good quality, certified seed. • Make sure seed/soil contact is maximized to ensure maximum germination. • Plant mixtures of coolseason grasses with legumes to maximize forage quality, take advantage of nitrogen fixation by the legumes, and to decrease the effects of tall fescue toxicity. Brad Johnson is an agent with the Rowan County Cooperative Extension Service, specializing in livestock and dairy.

Cooperative Extension to host conference Cooperative Extension

The Foothills Regional Conference for Parent Educators will be held at Rowan County Cooperative Extension, 2727A Old Concord Road Friday, Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. This is an educational opportunity for parent educators and others who work with families, including teachers, social workers, counselors, childcare providers and others.

Be prepared during hurricane season With Hurricane Earl churning in the Caribbean, Gov. Bev Perdue is reminding North Carolina residents and visitors that this is a good time to update their emergency supplies kits and plans. “While it is still too early to tell exactly what impact Hurricane Earl will have on our state, we do know that we all bear a responsibility to ensure we are ready for any type of emergency,” Perdue said in a press release. Perdue urges every citizen to have both emergency plans and a supplies kit ready to sustain their family for three to seven days. Supplies should be kept in an easy-to-carry, water-tight container, such as a large plastic trash can or sturdy cardboard box lined with plastic trash bags. Your kit should include: • Essential medications; • First aid kit and first aid book; • Cash and checkbook; • Copies of important documents — insurance, birth certificates, Social Security cards, wills, tax and bank information, list of doctors and inventory of household goods; • Water — one gallon per person per day; • Water purification kit or bleach; • Nonperishable foods, such as canned meats, granola bars, instant soup and cereals, etc.; • Nonelectric can opener; • Baby supplies: formula, bottles, pacifiers, soap, baby powder, clothing, blankets,

baby wipes, disposable diapers, canned food and juices; • Seasonal changes of clothing, including sturdy shoes; • Blanket or sleeping bag per person; • Portable radio or television with extra batteries; • Flashlight and extra batteries; • Extra pair of eyeglasses or contacts; • Extra house keys and car keys; • Pet supplies: food, water, leash, carrier, bedding and vaccination records; • Books, cards, toys, things to occupy you and your child’s time; • Large plastic trash bags for waste, tarps and rain ponchos; • Bar soap and liquid detergent; • Anti-bacterial hand wipes or gel; • Personal hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrush and deodorant, etc.; • Feminine hygiene supplies; and • Toilet paper. According to the National Weather Service, Hurricane Earl is expected to remain a major hurricane for the next several days, passing very near to the North Carolina coast early Friday morning. Hurricane force winds may be possible along the Outer Banks and sounds while tropical storm force winds may be felt as far inland as Interstate 95. North Carolina Emergency Management is monitoring

Hurricane Earl and assessing staffing and equipment needs to help the counties respond to any impacts from the storm. While no resources have been pre-positioned at this point, Perdue said the state is prepared to move those assets very quickly if needed. September is North Carolina’s peak month for hurricanes. Residents and vacationers should monitor those weather forecasts and listen to NOAA Weather Radio and the local news for severe weather updates and follow any direction provided by local officials. Perdue has proclaimed September as Emergency Preparedness Month to encourage families, businesses and schools to take steps to prepare themselves for hurricanes and all other types of emergencies. In the last five years, North Carolina has experienced more than 175 tornadoes, more than 5,000 severe thunderstorms, a dozen tropical systems or their remnants as well as several blizzards, ice storms and heat waves. A video, “Be Prepared, Be Safe,” examines why it is so important for individuals and communities to be ready for any type of disaster. The video and other information about planning for disasters is available at the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety website under the Division of Emergency Management at www.nccrimecontrol.org and www.readync.org. Emergency preparedness information is available in Spanish at www.listonc.org.

One-stop shop: No more searching to find Social Services she said. Employees are also benefitting by working out of the same location, Wilkes added. They are getting work done more efficiently and in a more timely manner, and they can more easily share information. “No longer must an employee travel to another building across town to have a joint conference with other employees who are serving the same client,” she said. Employees will have greater contact with one another and will gain a greater knowledge and understanding of all the department’s services, she said, and they will in turn be better equipped to make referrals to other services. “The building itself is well designed to meet the needs of the public,” Wilkes said. The building is level, with no steps to climb. Inside the lobby, large signs point the way to reception areas. The

restrooms and water fountains are in the lobby area. The lobby is spacious, with room to accommodate large numbers of visitors without feeling crowded. There are four reception areas — one for Economic Services (Medicaid and Food Assistance), one for Services Support (Day Care, Work First, and Adult Services), one for Child Support and one for Children’s Services (Adoption, Foster Care, and Child Protective Services). There are two receptionist windows at each of the four reception areas, so that visitors are served quickly. Beyond the lobby area, clients will see their caseworker or social worker in a private office. In the past, there was less privacy. “It is a priority to provide a secure and confidential office where clients can feel comfortable in sharing personal information,” Wilkes said.

There are plans for a small waiting area for children who are there with their parents. While the parents are being served, this space will be outfitted with books and games for the children to enjoy. “We envision using volunteers to keep the children occupied,” Wilkes said. The expanded office is the culmination of a $6 million project that started with a ground-breaking ceremony in March 2009. It involved adding 27,000 square feet adjacent to the Rowan County Health Department Building. DSS moved out of its old headquarters and into the new building in February of this year. The other offices now have moved there too. Carl Ford, chairman of

the Board of Commissioners, said it was great to get the department all under one roof. The building project just made it into the budget, he said. “Six-to-eight months later had it been done, it may not have happened,” Ford said. He called the building very efficient. In the last few years, the number of people the agency is serving has increased, and so this building can serve them, he said. The building will be dedicated Sept. 26 during a Sunday ceremony, which is open to the public. The ceremony begins at 3 p.m., 1813 E. Innes St. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

The Rowan County Department of Social Services has reached a milestone. All 196 employees are under one roof for the first time in 20 years. The agency can now say it is a “one-stop shop” for the public at 1813 E. Innes St., with all of its services available in the same building. Through the years, the different departments became spread out across the city. The Food Stamp office was in the Bell Building on West Council Street until 1988, when Cooperative Extension moved to Old Concord Road, opening office space in the Social Services building on West Innes Street. In 1990, when space issues arose at West Innes Street, Children’s Services staff moved to leased offices on Corriher Avenue. A decade later, Children’s Services

moved to county-owned offices at Mahaley Avenue. In 2001, the Child Support staff moved from West Innes to leased offices on Southmark Drive. The Department of Social Services’ new building on East Innes Street has brought all those offices together. Construction was completed in mid-August, and furniture was moved in this past weekend. Social Services Director Sandra Wilkes said because all of the services are now available from one location, a client can attend to several needs without having to go to different locations in the county. “In the past, a client had to travel to the child support offices on Southmark Drive, to the Medicaid and Food Assistance office on West Innes Street, and to the children services offices on Mahaley Avenue. Now all those services can be accessed at the East Innes Street location,”

N.C. State director named first Murdock professor KANNAPOLIS — Dr. Mary Ann Lila has been named the first David H. Murdock Distinguished Professor at the N.C. Research Campus. The director of North Carolina State University’s Plants for Human Health Institute in Kannapolis, Lila is an internationally known scientist. Murdock, chairman of Dole Food Co. and founder of the Research Campus, created three professorships with a $2 million gift to N.C. State. His gift was matched with $1 million from the N.C. Distinguished Professors Endowment Trust Fund. Murdock is collaborating with universities across North Carolina to transform Kannapolis, a former textile mill town, into a hightech research center that will develop a better understanding of human nutrition, as well

as foods with enhanced nutritional qualities. Lila has directed the Plants for Human Health Institute in Kannapolis since 2008. Her research focuses on three areas: studying health-enhancing compounds in berries, isolating phytochemicals that counteract malaria and working with scientists and students from around the world to explore natural products for biomedical use. Through a research and development network called GIBEX, she helped start at the University of Illinois, Lila works with traditional healers in developing nations and Native Americans to identify plants that hold promise for human health. A professor in N.C. State’s Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences, Lila is one of five N.C. State faculty members at the Kannapolis institute, which is expected to grow to 15 faculty members.

The request cleared the appropriations committee, a major hurdle.

Ready to be pulverized into a drinkable concoction, a rainbow assortment of foods in the blender looks beautiful.

As it’s blending, the smoothie doesn’t look as appetizing as the ﬁnished product will.

“It takes a while to get used to drinking your salads, but I like it and really do feel healthy doing it” DR. CHRISTOPHER NAGY On green smoothies

Clinical assistant Julie Hager tried several different combinations of fruits and greens until she hit on a recipe she loved. Hager’s recipe is a quarter of a lemon (rind and all), spinach, avocado, a banana, an apple, strawberries if she has them, and either honey or agave nectar for sweetening. She eats her smoothie seven days a week as part of her breakfast. She’s thrilled that her children — who are 2 and 5 — also drink and enjoy the green smoothies.

Physical therapist Payson Schumacher tried one of Hager’s concoctions at work and has since come up with his own version, which he uses to help maintain a recent weight loss. His favored recipe features spinach, kale and Swiss chard, along with carrots, strawberries, blueberries, an apple, an orange and a banana. Sometimes he’ll add avocado or Greek yogurt. A blender’s worth usually gets him through several days. He says he gets a kick out of opening the refrigerator at work and see-

ing four or five different jugs of green stuff in varying hues — from “Kermit the Frog to more of a mossy green,” he says. • • • Strict recipes are not really necessary to make a healthy, satisfying green smoothie; simply combine some fruit, fresh or frozen, with some leafy greens in your blender, along with water if necessary. Frozen produce helps make a nice, cold smoothie. Have fun experimenting until you hit on the perfect combination for yourself. • • • For more information or for recipe templates, go to www.greensmoothiegirl.com.

Farmers Market update: Meet Ruth Booker Meet Ruth Booker Ruth Booker has been a participant at the Farmers Market since it has been located on the corner of South Main and Bank Street in Salisbury. She is a whiz with the sewing machine, stitching up aprons, sun bonnets, turbans, tote bags, caftans, pillows and many other useful everyday items for the home. Ruth was born in Rowan County but moved to New

Produce Report It is amazing that we can still get plenty of garden fresh locally grown summer fruits and vegetables. Corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, peas, okra, peaches, cantaloupes and much more are plentiful. Apples and muscadines are now being harvested and will be available for the next few weeks. Did you know that the muscadine is known as America’s first grape? In 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh landed on the North Carolina coast and described them as being “on the sand and on the green soil, on the hill and on

the plains as well as on shrubs, also climbing towards the tops of tall cedars … in all the world the like abundance is not to be found.” Muscadines are native to the southeastern United States and have been extensively cultivated since the 16th century. When ripe, they are bronze to dark purple to black in color with a skin so tough that a hole needs to be bitten in order to suck out the delicious pulp inside. The light colored ones are known as scuppernongs. Studies show there are definite health benefits de-

rived from eating muscadines. Two ounces of unfiltered muscadine juice, one medium muscadine muffin or one serving of muscadine jam contains the same amount of the nutrient, resveratrol, as four ounces of red wine. Eating foods with muscadine products is a good way to get a significant amount of resveratrol in the average diet.

Ask Amy: Not too late to report former teacher Back-to-School what he did to me was. I was robbed of my connection with peers, my virginity and my freedom of sexual choice. I was robbed of a teacher. What I thought was honest connection was that — plus classic “grooming” and unbelievable immaturity on his part. The idea of this happening to someone else is sickening. What should I do? — Angry Too Late Dear Angry: I disagree with you that this man doesn’t necessarily pose a threat to the community. He coerced and manipulated you into an intimate relationship and then raped you. (That’s what “forcing himself onto you sexually” is.) You should create a written narrative about this, including dates, etc. And then you should take this to at least three people connected with the school — the president of the school board, the superintendant and the principal of the school. This will lessen any institutional impulse by the school to sweep it under the rug. You should also consider going to the police. This person is a predator and should not be in contact with young people. Don’t go through this alone — a counselor will advise and

mentor you as you go. You may choose to speak with a lawyer too. I applaud your willingness to act; there is a high likelihood you are not the only young person this teacher has exploited — and you can make sure he doesn’t have an opportunity in the future. Dear Amy: I am a young woman who can’t wait to get to work every day. My boss is extremely good looking. I’ve got the biggest crush on her and don’t really know what to do about it. We get along great. I make her laugh and sometimes I bring her small gifts. She knows I am attracted to her. One time I was at a bar and met her boyfriend. I was a little bit tipsy and told him I want to get with her. After that she avoided me a little bit, but I finally brought it up with her. She seemed to take my interest as a compliment. Sometimes I feel like she is into me, but at the same time has to keep it professional. I can’t tell how she feels about same-sex relationships. I asked her to go out to eat with me and she didn’t really give me an answer. Is she trying not to hurt my feelings or is she really interested in me? — Wondering Co-worker

The big deal that is an annualized expense

• Tip of the month. I can’t stand paying my cable television bill. I grew up during the days when, if you owned a TV, you received a signal for free. Because I want to see as few cable bills as possible, I pay a year in advance. This year, I called up my cable company. I reminded the company that it never has to generate bills or bother with my account for a year at a time. I requested a 5 percent discount on my entire year’s bill. The company readily agreed, knowing that the competition for customers is fierce. This small victory took away the sting of paying to watch television. — Kay M., Delaware

• Automatic magic. I have discovered the joys of auto bill pay. Most utility companies and others offer this con-

venience. Simply sign up for automatic payments, authorizing them to deduct what you owe from your checking account. You still receive bills with the payment dates noted. All you have to do is enter the amounts in your check register. I pay my electric, gas, water, life insurance and even credit card bills this way. Payments are always on time, and I save a lot in postage costs and never have to worry about lost checks. — Carolyn O., California

• Diaper Diva. I get free diapers plus $10 for doing surveys for diaper companies. Arquest, a spinoff from Johnson & Johnson, is one of the research companies that I use. It’s as easy as calling to give your name and phone number and your child’s gender, weight and diaper size. They will call you when they have an opening. For girls, call 888-342-7372, ext. 646, to speak with “Georgia.” For boys, call the same number plus extension 634 to speak with “Chelia.” Or simply press 9 when you hear the automated prompts to leave your information for the diaper survey. If you have not heard back in a month or so, call again. When they perform a survey for your child’s size, they will send you the diapers for free. Then you fill out a three- to four-page survey, and they set up a 10minute phone interview. During your interview, you read through your survey answers. They are very professional. Then you receive a $10 check four to six weeks after you complete the interview. If you have more than one baby in

diapers, you can participate in multiple surveys. — Michele, Pennsylvania

One of the best ways to look at your routine expenses is in the bright light of truth: annualized. Sure that cup of gourmet coffee every morning costs a mere $3.50. What’s the big deal? Let me show you: $3.50 x 5 days a week x 52 weeks equals MARY $910. That’s a HUNT big deal. That’s how to annualize a routine expense. Today’s first tipster gets it. She’s made a conscious decision to go forward based on the annualized amount, but not without getting a nice discount in the process.

Dear Wondering: By keeping you at arm’s length, your boss may be trying to protect you from yourself. So far, you are blundering badly. You should not be accosting her boyfriend while drunk at a bar. I suggest you back off. From what you report, your boss doesn’t seem romantically interested in you. Enjoy your crush but value your job more.

Dear Amy: When I was 17 (and a virgin) I entered into a relationship with a teacher who was much older. It was not my idea to have a sexual relationship, but because I enjoyed the of safety knowing he cared about me, I went along for ASK months of inAMY trigue before he actually forced himself on me sexually. Looking back, I marvel at my past immaturity and ignorance. Although I was thoughtful and well-read and knew most every jaded thing there was to know about sex and relationships, I believed that what we had was special. I saw this man struggle with his moral compass (or lack thereof) and felt privileged to have such intimacy. I am now 25, and though I don’t believe he necessarily poses an immediate threat to the community, I still wonder if there is anything I ought to (or even could) do about the whole thing. I never told anyone who mattered. I know he considers me a friend, but the older I get, the more I realize how terrible

DA: 4 death row cases in NC should be reviewed

RALEIGH (AP) — Voters will have a lot of names to consider when they look at the ballot for the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Thirteen candidates filed to run for one judgeship vacated recently by Judge Jim Wynn before a one-week filing period ended late Tuesday afternoon. Five signed up on the final day alone. The candidates include Cressie Thigpen, whom Gov. Beverly Perdue chose to replace Wynn through December, former Court of Appeals Judge Doug McCullough and former state Labor Commissioner Harry Payne. The number of candidates means voters must use instant runoff voting to choose a winner on Nov. 2. The voters rank their top three candidates in order of preference. Second-place votes are counted if no one gets a majority of first-place votes.

Plans may be shelved as Hurricane Earl heads closer RALEIGH (AP) — A powerful Hurricane Earl threatened to sideswipe much of the East Coast just ahead of Labor Day, worrying countless vacationers who planned to spend the traditional last week of summer at the beach. The Federal Emergency Management Agency warned people along the Eastern Seaboard to prepare for possible evacuations and islanders in the Turks and Caicos hunkered down in their homes Tuesday as the Category 4 hurricane steamed across the Caribbean with winds of 135 mph. Earl was expected to remain over the open ocean before turning north and

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina road crews are preparing to respond to Hurricane Earl with warnings about road closures, flooding, ferry cancellations and evacuation routes even if telephones die. The state Transportation Department said Tuesday it is preparing bulldozers, electronic signs and other equipment in case of damage from the Category 4 hurricane churning through the Caribbean. Forecasters say Earl could skirt or hit the East Coast on Thursday. DOT says it’s also ready to provide instant information about travel conditions through its feeds on Twitter. Separate information feeds describe conditions on the state’s northern and southern coasts, as well as ferries linking the mainland and islands. Twitter is accessible on hand-held devices even if landline telephone service and electricity are disrupted.

Republicans kick off fall legislative races RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina Republican candidates gearing up for legislative elections say they’ll reduce both taxes and spending if they take control of both chambers of the General Assembly. State GOP Chairman Tom Fetzer stood surrounded by candidates for the House and Senate as part of a campaign kickoff event Tuesday at party headquarters in Raleigh. The House hasn’t been solely in Republican hands since 1998. Democrats have controlled the Senate since 1898. House Minority Leader Paul Stam told supporters legislative Democrats have spent too many tax dollars during the recession and banked a recovery on creating government jobs. Fetzer said Republicans plan to release during September a series of initiatives they would seek to pass next year if they get the majority.

DURHAM (AP) — A documentary film festival that will show nearly 100 films is returning to its original home in North Carolina. The Full Frame Documentary Film Festival is once again part of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University in Durham. The CDS will provide an institutional home for the festival, and will continue to operate out of its off-campus offices with the same staff and budget. Full Frame began in 1998 as the DoubleTake Documentary Film Festival, which was a project of the center. It became Full Frame five years later and operated as an independent nonprofit. The four-day festival will be held April 14-17, 2011.

Officials probe 10 infant deaths at Fort Bragg FORT BRAGG (AP) — Two unexplained infant deaths at the same address last year have prompted the Army to review all unexplained infant deaths at North Carolina’s Fort Bragg in the past four years. Brig. Gen. Michael Garrett said Tuesday the military is determined to solve the anomaly of the deaths. The infants who died in April and July 2009 were not identified and were from different families, but had lived at the same address. Since January 2007, eight other children less than a year old have died in base housing. Investigators have found no common factor in the causes of death. The Army’s Criminal Investigation Command is looking for possible contributing factors, such environmental or structural problems. About 45,000 people, including more than 6,000 families, live on the base.

Former top general is software firm’s chairman RALEIGH (AP) — A former chairman of the U.S. military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff is taking over as chairman of North Carolina software company Red Hat Inc.

The Raleigh company says its board of directors elected retired Army Gen. Hugh Shelton as its chairman to succeed former CEO Matthew Szulik. Shelton has been a member of Red Hat’s board of directors since 2003. The North Carolina native served in the Special Forces in Vietnam and commanded the 82nd Airborne Division and the 18th Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg before becoming joint chiefs chairman in 1997. Shelton retired from the Army in 2001. Red Hat makes opensource software primarily for business customers.

The water will be used to wash fire trucks as well as for irrigation and other jobs where clean drinking water isn’t needed. Officials hope to save more than 100,000 gallons of drinking water annually by using the rain. Much of the money for the project comes from federal stimulus funds.

No new judge for Fla. man in killing of trooper NEWTON (AP) — The Florida man accused of killing a North Carolina state trooper more than two years ago won’t get a new judge for his trial. The Asheville CitizenTimes reported a Superior Court judge ruled Monday that Edwardo Wong of Ormond Beach, Fla., failed to prove that Superior Court Judge Nathaniel Poovey would be unable to rule impartially. Wong asked for a new judge last week, saying Poovey violated Wong’s right to the attorney-client relationship by giving legal advice in a private meeting with the judge and an outside attorney. Wong is charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of Trooper David Shawn Blanton Jr. during a traffic stop on Interstate 40 near Canton. Twelve jurors have been selected and attorneys are selecting three alternates for the trial, which is being held in Newton.

From there, forecasters said, it could curve away from the coast somewhat as it makes it way north, perhaps hitting Massachusetts’ Cape Cod and the Maine shoreline on Friday night and Saturday. “My guests are calling and they don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to tell them,” said Dave Dawson, owner of the oceanfront Cape Hatteras Motel in Buxton, N.C. Forecasters cautioned that it was still too early to tell how close Earl might come to land. But not since Hurricane Bob in 1991 has such a powerful storm had such a large swath of the East Coast in its sights, said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center.

RALEIGH (AP) — The four death row cases included in a review of the staterun crime lab should get further scrutiny, the president of the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys said Tuesday. Seth Edwards, who also is a district attorney in eastern North Carolina, said he doesn’t believe a review needs to go any further than those four cases. They were among 190 cases that an independent review of the blood unit at the State Bureau of Investigation crime lab found should be examined. “If there’s a person on death row whose case did not even appear on this list of 190 cases, as far as I’m concerned there is no issue in that case,” Edwards said. The government-ordered review of the crime lab by two former Federal Bureau of Investigation officials found that SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period, mostly by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense attorneys. The review arose from testimony by an SBI agent at an innocence hearing that resulted in the exoneration and release of Greg Taylor, who had served almost 17 years in prison for the death of a Raleigh woman. One of the four death row prisoners is Terry Lee Ball, who was convicted of the 1993 murder of a minister’s wife and whose case came out of Edwards’ district. Based on eyewitness testimony and other evidence, “there is no question he perpetrated that crime,” Edwards said. Edwards’ comments followed a news conference Monday at which innocence advocates said the state should consider abolishing the death penalty and, at a minimum, should put a moratorium on the punishment. They cited concerns about the work of SBI lab analysts and the role race plays in capital punishment. Edwards, who said he has confidence in the SBI, also said he didn’t believe prosecutors use race in judging cases and that he doesn’t support a moratorium. “Prosecutors, we look at facts, we don’t look at race,” he said.

Stocks end August with meager gains NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market ended its worst August since 2001 with meager gains Tuesday after minutes from the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed officials’ increasing concern about the economy. Stock indexes gave up most of their gains in mid-afternoon after the release of minutes from the Fed’s Aug. 10 meeting. Fed officials said during their discussions that they recognized that the economy might need further stimulus beyond the purchases of government debt the central bank announced that day. Some of the officials acknowledged the economy had softened more than they had anticipated. The Dow Jones industrial average ended with a gain of 5 points, having been up 64 following a reading on consumer confidence in August that came in stronger than expected. Stocks fell sharply for much of August after a series of reports suggested that the recovery has weakened. The S&P 500, the measure used most by stock market professionals, finished August with a loss of 4.7 percent. It was the S&P 500’s worst showing for the month since August 2001, when it lost 6.4 percent as the dotcom bubble collapsed. Yearto-date, the S&P 500 is down 5.9 percent. Some traders said there was disappointment that the Fed wasn’t pessimistic enough to consider quicker steps to stimulate that economy. Dan Cook, senior market analyst with the brokerage

firm IG Markets, said the minutes gave a picture of a cautious and conservative Fed. While officials acknowledged the economy’s problems, they chose to take only small, initial steps. Traders who have hoped the Fed would be more aggressive to stimulate the economy soon aren’t so sure now that the central bank will act. “People are thinking maybe we need more of a downturn before the Fed will jump in,” Cook said. Unlike traders, he said, “the Fed moves like a glacier.” The Dow rose 4.99, or 0.05 percent, to close at 10,014.72. Broader indexes were mixed. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index edged up 0.41, or 0.04 percent, to 1,049.33. The Nasdaq composite index fell 5.94, or 0.3 percent, to 2,114.03. Other market indicators also had dismal performances in August, having surged ahead in July on a series of strong earnings reports. The Dow lost 4.3 percent in August, while the Nasdaq lost 6.2 percent. Rising stocks outpaced falling ones by about 4 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume was low at 4.5 billion shares. Volume has been very light in recent days, which can exaggerate movements in the market. “The low volume (is a sign) there’s not a lot of belief on either side,” said John Merrill, chief investment officer at Tanglewood Wealth Management. The market “is treading water as people are looking for a discernible

trend.” Treasury prices rose, sending their yields lower, as cautious investors put money back into bonds. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which helps set interest rates on mortgages and other kinds of loans, fell to 2.47 percent from 2.53 percent late Monday. A weaker reading on manufacturing activity in the Midwest Tuesday was the latest report to follow the negative trend. The drop in the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index was similar to declines seen in other regional manufacturing reports earlier this month. Some investors worry that the signals of weakness in the economy emerging recent weeks could suggest a slowdown throughout the second half of the year and possibly even a dip back into recession. Joseph Battipaglia, market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus & Co., said the drop in August matters less than what caused it: signs that economic growth is slowing, or worse. “The evidence suggests we’re going into a recession,” he said. “The S&P has held nicely north of 1,000 but we’ll break through it.” Overseas, Japanese stocks were hammered as the yen hovers near a 15year high against the dollar. Many Japanese companies like Sony, Panasonic and Toyota rely heavily on exports, so a stronger yen cuts into their profits. Japan’s Nikkei stock average tumbled to a 16-month low, falling 3.6 percent.

“I don’t think it would take a whole lot to get investors to start selling and consumers to start pulling back again,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com. “The collective psyche is on edge.” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said last week that the central bank is ready to take additional steps to boost the economy, including buying more debt or mortgage securities in order to keep interest rates low. But with the benchmark interest rate already near zero, any Fed action is unlikely to provide the oomph of past measures. Congress doesn’t appear to have an appetite for another stimulus package. Also hanging over the market is an air of heightened uncertainty because the November elections will determine which party controls Congress for the next

CHICAGO (AP) — The economy is weakening, home sales are plunging and stocks are on a long slide. Now comes something even scarier for investors — the beginning of what is traditionally the worst month in the market. Could stocks be headed for another September swoon? “If history is any guide, for it’s never gospel, we may be in for another rough ride,” says Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at Standard & Poor’s. Mutual fund managers tend to clean house after Labor Day, taking profits on winning stocks and weeding out portfolios before putting out the rosiest possible endof-quarter reports for their clients. Workers coming back from summer breaks are also inclined to sell stocks as they get their financial affairs in order. Any festering issues with the economy or stocks during the summer, when trading volume is light, tend to get put off until fall. The result: September is usually a dog of a month for the market. It typically starts with solid market increases, then tails off, says Jeffrey Hirsch, editor-inchief of the Stock Trader’s Almanac. “There’s just a general selling bias in the month of September,” he says. Four times in the past decade alone, the S&P 500 shed at least 5 percent in September. The average September decline since 1950 is 0.6 percent, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. February is the next worst, with an average 0.2 percent loss, and December and November are the best, averaging 1.6 percent gains. Of course, investors haven’t forgotten that the financial world collapsed in September just two years ago. And the Sept. 11 attacks, which delivered a devastating blow to the stock market, remain a painful memory. This year, there’s a lot to frown about. The S&P 500 index is down 14 percent from its high in April, and was down 5 percent for the month of August. Stocks have fallen because the economic recovery is faltering. The economy has slowed to anemic growth, home sales the last three months are the worst on record, consumer spending is lackluster and unemployment is stuck near 10 percent. The slew of weak economic data sapped the market of what little midsummer momentum it had and further shook the confidence of already wary investors.

DSS FINALLY IN ONE OFFICE

Connecting needs, services henever someone has nowhere else to go for help, they often turn to the Department of Social Services in search of assistance obtaining food, medical services, protection for a neglected child, care for an elderly relative or help with other basic needs. Today, that search has become a lot simpler in Rowan County, thanks to the consolidation of four disconnected DSS offices into one central complex adjacent to the Health Services Building on Faith Road. More than two years after county commissioners green-lighted the $6 million project, DSS can celebrate the final integration of its offices and approximately 200 employees into one easy-to-find, easyto-navigate location. While convenience and efficiency are important for any institution that serves the public — and yes, that includes our far-flung school offices — this holds doubly true for an agency that directly connects with so many local residents. If you wonder why this agency’s consolidation made it to the top of the county’s to-do list several years ago, consider that in a given year, the DSS clientele list numbers 30,000-plus, more than a fifth of the county’s population. If that’s surprising to you, then perhaps you have an outdated image of the DSS as simply the “welfare office.” While its mission is still focused on the welfare of Rowan’s residents, that embraces many different segments of the population. Here are some statistics that DSS Director Sandra Wilkes shared with Post readers last year regarding her office’s work: • In an average month, it fields and assesses more than 200 reports of child abuse and neglect. • At the other end of the age spectrum, DSS addresses hundreds of reports about the vulnerable elderly or disabled who may suffer abuse, neglect and exploitation. It helps connect those in need with services such as adult day care, in-home aide and guardian appointment • Its Food and Nutrition Services program reaches more than 18,000 residents. • Through Medicaid and N.C. Health Choice, more than 21,000 receive health services, including physician care, medicine, hospital and nursing home care. • The Work First program provides temporary assistance to hundreds of households. During these hard economic times, DSS caseloads are growing, month by month. Among them are people who never thought they would need help putting food on the table or paying for doctor’s visits. Fortunately, help is available, and a centralized office will help DSS connect Rowan residents with the services they need.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by. — Carl Sandburg

Moderately confused

resident Obama may have experienced his Walter Cronkite moment over the economy. Responding to Cronkite’s reporting from Vietnam four decades ago that the only way to end the war was by negotiating with the North Vietnamese, President Lyndon Johnson was reported (though never confirmed) to have said, “If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost Middle America.” Now President Obama appears to have “lost” New York Times liberal CAL economic columnist THOMAS Paul Krugman. Krugman, who enthusiastically supported the president’s redistributionist and stimulus plans, has bowed to the reality that they are not working. In a recent column titled “This is Not a Recovery,” Krugman took issue with the president and Vice President Joe Biden that we have experienced a summer of economic recovery. “Unfortunately, that’s not true,” he wrote. “This isn’t a recovery, in any sense that matters. And policymakers should be doing everything they can to change that fact.” Krugman asked an essential question: “Why are people who know better sugarcoating economic reality? The answer, I’m sorry to say, is that it’s all about evading responsibility.” It is that, and more. The administration is so locked into its leftwing, “tax, borrow and spend” ideology that it has become like someone trapped in a cult: unable to escape and endlessly repeating the same mantra. In a speech last week to central bankers and economists in Jackson Hole, Wyo., Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke acknowledged the economy is fragile, especially in light of the government's latest report, which showed the weakest quarterly growth in a year. He added that high unemployment poses a serious threat. Still, Bernanke tried to sound optimistic by forecasting some pickup in growth in 2011 and beyond. Optimism not based on reality is false hope based on wishful thinking. One might as well ask a highperformance engine to run at peak level after several of its cylinders have been disabled. It is impossible, no matter how shiny the paint job. An economy burdened down with debt because of too much government spending, a health care law that will add new and unknown burdens, expiring tax cuts that will take more money from the private sector for government to waste and abuse, and a stock market unsure and thus unable to fuel the economic engine to propel us out of this recession, is not a “summer of recovery,” but a winter of discontent. The solution is not a “Star Trek” approach in which we must go where no one has gone before. We know what works and what must be done. Social Security and Medicare must be reformed; government programs that have failed, or are obsolete, should be scrapped; military spending designed to enhance reelection prospects for some members of Congress, while doing nothing to improve the military, must be ended, and people should be asked to return to the attitude of previous generations that all of us, including government, must live within our means. Writing in U.S. News & World Report, publisher Mort Zuckerman takes the Krugman view a step further by calling the administration he once supported “The Most Fiscally Irresponsible Government in U.S. History.” Zuckerman writes: “People see the stimulus, fashioned and passed by Congress in such a hurry, as a metaphor for wasted money. They are highly critical about the lack of discipline among our political leaders. The question that naturally arises is how to forestall a longterm economic decline.” The answer is for the Republicans, so eager and so likely to regain power in the House and possibly the Senate in the coming election, to expose the administration’s sugarcoating of reality and get out the bad-tasting medicine. The good news is that by swallowing fiscal responsibility, we will all be better off in the end. But can Republicans withstand and prevail over the Democratic demagoguery that will predictably be heaped on them? They’d better, or they don’t deserve to lead. As Walter Cronkite used to say, “That’s the way it is.” • • • Contact Cal Thomas via e-mail at tmseditors@tribune.com.

TO THE

Smokers will still light up; cell phones will buzz It’s that time of year again. School begins, along with all the craziness and classroom drama. A lot of school news lately has focused around the addition of a new learning center at Rowan-Cabarrus Community College. Not only did a new facility get everyone’s attention but a new rule for students to follow also. No more tobacco use on campus. Yeah, right. I’ve been at student at RCCC and attended classes for the past few years. I know that the bathrooms will become the new smoking areas and other hiding places as well. Personally, I don’t smoke, but I think a designated area would have been a better idea. Speaking of rules, which is the main reason I’m speaking out, one more rule should be introduced at RCCC. For the past several years a marvelous invention calledthe cell phone has been a major tool for disrupting, interrupting and causing major problems in classrooms. If you’re a (mature) student at RCCC, paying tuition to get a degree, then you deserve a quality education. The only problem is that every class lately has some bonehead who gets a phone call during a lecture or some other type of classwork. What a slap in the face for the serious students in the class who are there to learn. Asking students to put their phones on “vibrate” still interrupts class with the buzzing going off. One class I attended had two female students texting their boyfriends during class, laughing, and finally being asked by the instructor to “please stop texting and pay attention.” Does the staff not know of these problems or are they afraid of stepping on someone’s toes? All I’ve got to say is: Ban all cell phones from the classrooms ... period! — Bobby Martell Salisbury

When zeros really count Almost every news story about our national economic woes is full of numbers. The problem is that as we get accustomed to numerical terms they lose their impact. Our deficit spending for July 2010 was 165 billion dollars. Actually that figure was $165,040,000,000. Looks worse doesn't it? Just the interest on our national debt for July (we do have to pay it) was $19,900,00,000. By 2015 the total national debt is projected to be $20,000,000,000,000. Then the interest will be $800,000,000,000 per year. How do these numbers look to you? Don't you think it's time we started demanding that our representatives begin reducing these numbers rather than pushing us closer to the inevitable economic precipice? — Charles Baker Trinity

A positive prognosis for RRMC Dr. Dennis Hill, a Salisbury neurologist, comments on recent changes at Rowan Regional Medical Center and the future of health care: iven the recent interest in the changes ongoing at Rowan Regional Medical Center, I thought it would be of interest to hear from a very committed physician. Medical care in the 21st century is of necessity changing. Many of the changes will be uncomfortable. Finances are not going to be available to replace the hip or transplant the heart for every 85-year-old who might desire the proceHILL dure. Tens of thousands of dollars of chemotherapy that add only three to four months to a life may not be cost-effective. Further, those of us who as dinosaurs were and are married to medicine are slowly being replaced by young physicians who are more committed to quality of life outside the practice of medicine and much prefer a 50-hour to an 80-hour work week. Melding the demands of the next generation of physicians, the limited financial resources and providing quality care requires great leadership. Our medical center has been privileged

over the years to have been led by extremely competent individuals, dating back to Earl Bullard, through Jim Freeman, and most recently Novant’s Jeff Lindsay. Not one of them, though, has had the bedpan to boardroom experience of our new CEO, Dr. Dari Caldwell. Dr. Caldwell was a registered nurse before she received her Ph.D. She understands what it is like to stand by the bedside of a critically ill patient at 3 a.m. and bring that empathy, compassion and knowledge to her leadership role at RRMC. She is here at a critical time in our hospital’s history, carefully balancing excellence in patient care with the financial realities of 14 percent unemployment, the problems of immigration, government and managed-care restraints, at the same time assuring that each patient who enters our doors enjoys a remarkable experience. Dr. Caldwell’s work in the trenches gives her a different perspective and one that is welcomed by those of us who provide direct patient care. I noted in the recent Post article that my name was mentioned. I suspect that, seeing my white hair, wrinkles and age spots, the question of my retirement was raised. My answer to that is that as long as I am able to walk, think, contribute and work shoulder to shoulder with my colleagues at the medical center and leaders like Dr. Caldwell, I should be around for a while.

Palestinian gunman kills 4 Israelis in West Bank shooting

FBI investigates 2 men arrested in Amsterdam

JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian gunmen opened fire Tuesday on an Israeli car in the West Bank and killed four passengers on the eve of a new round of Mideast peace talks in Washington. The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility. Assailants firing from a passing car riddled the vehicle with bullets as it traveled near Hebron — a volatile city that has been a flash point of violence in the past. Some 500 ultranationalist Jewish settlers live in heavily fortified enclaves in the city amid more than 100,000 Palestinians. One of the victims was pregnant, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. Israel’s national rescue service said the victims were two men and two women, and Israeli media said everyone in the car was killed. Video broadcast live on Israel TV late Tuesday showed a white Subaru station wagon standing at an angle at the side of a road, its windows shot out and its doors dotted with bullet holes. The car was flanked by army and police vehicles and dozens of soldiers. The attackers fled and Israeli forces set up roadblocks and carried out searches to try to catch them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI probe of two men arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items turned up in one of the men’s luggage is finding they were probably not on a test run for a future terror attack, a U.S. official said Tuesday, casting doubt on earlier suggestions even as Dutch authorities held the pair on suspicion of conspiring to commit a terrorist act. The U.S. does not expect to charge the men, a law enforcement official said. The two men arrested in Amsterdam — both traveling to Yemen — did not know each other and were not traveling together, a U.S. government official said. The officials spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the investigation. The Amsterdam arrests came at a time of heightened alert less than two weeks before the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks. U.S. officials have also been concerned about Americans traveling to Yemen to join al-Qaida. Before officials began casting doubt on the test run theory, FBI agents were chasing down leads in Detroit, Birmingham, Ala., and Memphis, Tenn., a law enforcement official said.

Removing healthy ovaries helps women lower odds of cancer CHICAGO (AP) — Surgery to remove healthy ovaries gives a triple benefit to high-risk women: It lowers their threat of breast and ovarian cancer, and boosts their chances of living longer, new research suggests. The study is the largest to date to find advantages for preventive surgery for women who carry BRCA gene mutations. Women with the faulty genes have a dramatically higher cancer risk than other women — five times greater for breast cancer and at least 10 times greater for ovarian cancer. The study, appearing in today’s Journal of the American Medical Association, found benefits for women with two different BRCA gene variants whether they had previously had breast cancer or not. The results offer more tailored evidence for women considering ovary removal, a surgery that ends fertility, fast-forwards them into early menopause and may contribute to osteoporosis or heart problems later in life. “It’s really critical to have the best information when making such a profound decision,” said senior author Timothy Rebbeck of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

Cops: Calif. doctor gets stuck in chimney, dies BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — A doctor involved in an “onagain, off-again” relationship apparently tried to force her way into her boyfriend’s home by sliding down the chimney, police said Tuesday. Her decomposing body was found there three days later. Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, first tried to get into the house with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue, Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said. While she was trying to break in, the man she was pursuing escaped unnoticed from another exit “to avoid a confrontation,” authorities said. The man’s identity was not revealed by police, but the man who resides in the home is William Moodie. He declined to comment when reached Tuesday by the Associated Press, saying police instructed him not to discuss the matter. Kotarac apparently died in the chimney, but her body was not discovered until a house-sitter noticed a stench and fluids coming from the fireplace Saturday, according to a police statement. The house-sitter and her son investigated with a flashlight and found Kotarac dead, wedged about two feet above the top of the interior fireplace opening. Firefighters spent five hours late Saturday dismantling the chimney and flue from outside the home to extract Kotarac’s body, DeGeare said. A cause of death has not been determined, and an autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday. Foul play is not suspected, though investigators have been looking into the incident as suspicious.

Obama ends Iraq combat effort:

‘Operation Iraqi Freedom is over’ WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday declared an end to the U.S. combat role in Iraq after more than seven years of war, saying the country’s future now is up to its own people. “It is time to turn the page,” said the president, who opposed the war from the start. Obama is keeping up to 50,000 troops in Iraq for support and counterterrorism training, and the final forces aren’t to be out until late next year. But he sought to mark Aug. 31, 2010, as a milestone in one of the defining chapters in recent American history. “Ending this war is not only in Iraq’s interest — it is in our own,” Obama said in advance excerpts of a prime-time address he was to deliver from the Oval Office. “The United States has paid a huge price to put the future of Iraq in the hands of its people.” In a telling sign of the domestic troubles weighing on his own nation, Obama reserved part of a war address to campaign for his efforts to revitalize the U.S. economy. On a night focused on his role as commander in chief, he said his “central responsibility as president” was to get people back to work. “Our most urgent task is to restore our economy,” Obama said. The ending of the combat mission on this date had been known for 18 months. Yet given the stakes, the toll in American lives and dollars and the long consuming debate, Obama sought to explain it to the country. “Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country,” Obama said. He made sure to remind the nation that he had promised to meet this goal and shrink U.S. involvement by now, “and that is what we have done.” Obama’s rise to the presidency was built in part on his fierce opposition to the war, an American-led endeavor that lost public support as it rolled on and American casualties rose. Obama has long held that the war inflamed antiAmerican sentiments abroad and stole resources from the fight in Afghanistan. In a defense of his foreign policy, Obama said capping the combat mission in Iraq would send a message to the world that the U.S. “intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership.” Obama sought to close a divisive chapter without declaring victory. His opposition to the war presented him with a tricky moment — standing firm in his position without disparaging the sacrifice and courage of those who fought. On Tuesday he was intent on assuring the nation and the stretched military that all the work and bloodshed in Iraq was not in vain, declaring that because of it “America is more secure.” Though the U.S. commitment in Iraq is winding down, Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan, the home base of the Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida terrorists, where Americans have been fighting for nearly nine years. “It is going to be a tough slog,” Obama said of Afghanistan in remarks earlier Tuesday to soldiers at Fort Bliss, Texas. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said success in Afghanistan was possible but “is not inevitable.” Tuesday night, the president’s speech was never intended to be celebratory. “It’s not going to be a victory lap,” Obama said at Fort Bliss, a post that has lost 51 soldiers in the Iraq war. “It’s not going to be self-congratulatory. There’s still a lot of work that we’ve got to do to make sure that Iraq is an effective partner with us.” In fact, Iraq is in political turmoil, its leaders unable to form a new government long after March elections that left no clear winner. In Baghdad on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden pressed Iraqi leaders anew to break the impasse. The uncertainty has left an opening for insurgents to pound Iraqi security forces, hardly the conditions the U.S. envisioned for this transition

deadline, which Obama announced 18 months ago. Since the war began, more than 4,400 U.S. troops have been killed and almost C 32,000 have been wounded. The war is one of the longest in the nation’s history, even as the one in Afghanistan continues. Obama’s big day was defined by what it was — a turning point, a promise kept — and by what it was not. It is not the end of the war. More U.S. troops are likely to die. All U.S. troops are not expected to leave Iraq until the end of 2011, a final agreement that was secured before Obama took office. Obama has accelerated the end of the U.S. role in Iraq by pulling home nearly 100,000 troops. The American public has largely moved on. The prevailing worry now is < joblessness at home. Almost forgotten are the intense passions and protests that defined the Iraq debate through much of the past decade. Or that lawmakers of both parties authorized President George W. Bush to go to war. What emerged was not just a war but a Bush doctrine of pre-emptive force against perceived threats, one that reshaped how the world viewed the United States. In Iraq, the intelligence that made the case for war was faulty; no weapons of mass destruction were ever found. Saddam Hussein was toppled, and Iraqis now live in greater freedom, but those were not the rationales for war. The aim was, as Bush put it in his own Oval Office address in 2003, “to defend the world from grave danger.” The national focus has turned to Afghanistan and to the staggering economy in the U.S. In particular, weeks ahead of a vital congressional election in the U.S., Obama wants Americans to see a linkage between getting out of Iraq and investing more money at home. A major thrust of Obama’s speech was to honor the service of U.S. troops and civilian workers in Iraq. Another was to assure Iraqis that the United States is not abandoning them. And yet another mission is to remind the country, in Obama’s view, about where the true threats to national security lie, including in Afghanistan. Just 38 percent of people support the war in Afghanistan, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, and only 19 percent think things will get better in the next year. On Iraq, unsurprisingly, Obama finds more support in pulling troops home: 68 percent approve of his ending the formal combat mission. The cost has been financial, too. Congress has allotted more than $1 trillion for both wars. The Iraq war linked Obama and Bush before the Democrat won the White House, and has ever since. Fittingly, Obama called Bush on Tuesday to talk about this moment in the war. It is more than seven years after the former president declared that major combat operations were over. The White House said the call was private and would not say more.

US military deaths in Iraq war at 4,416 S I 31, 2010, at least As of Tuesday, Aug. 4,416 members of the U.S. military had died in the Iraq war since it began in March 2003, according to an Associat5 ed Press count. The figure includes nine military civilians killed in action. At least 3,492 military personnel died as a result of hostile action, according to the military’s numbers. The AP count is five fewer than the Defense Department’s tally, last updated Tuesday at 10 a.m. EDT. Since the start of U.S. military operations in Iraq, 31,929 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department’s weekly tally.

Fidel Castro, left, stands with U.S. journalist of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, second from right, and Cuban Jewish Community President Adela Dworin, third from right, at the National Aquarium in Havana, Cuba, on Monday. HAVANA (AP) — Cuba on Tuesday released pictures of Fidel Castro with an American magazine correspondent and a Washington-based policy expert, while a Mexican newspaper published an interview in which the graybearded revolutionary expressed regret for past persecution of homosexuals. The images show Cuba’s 84-year-old former leader with Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic and Julia E. Sweig from the Council on Foreign Relations during a visit Monday to the Havana aquarium — Castro’s second trip there during a media blitz that has seen him making near daily appearances. Goldberg is a national correspondent for the magazine who has written on the Middle East and Iran. State media reported that he and Sweig interviewed Castro, but gave no indication of what was said. For months, Castro has warned of nuclear war that would pit Washington and Israel against Iran and would also involve an attack on North Korea. He even said he expected fighting to begin earlier this summer, but has since said those doomsday predictions may have been somewhat premature. The Council on Foreign Relations is a nonpartisan think tank with offices in New York and Washington, and Sweig is a longtime scholar on the U.S.-Cuba relationship.

Police: Frankenstein exhibits monstrous behavior in cruiser CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio police say a Toby Keith fan named Forrest Frankenstein threatened them and beat his head against a partition in their cruiser after his arrest. The 39-year-old Frankenstein appeared Monday before a judge who asked why he “went crazy” at the Aug. 27 concert in Cincinnati. Frankenstein replied that he had been drinking and didn’t really remember anything. Frankenstein, of Hamilton, is being held on $80,000 bond on counts of menacing, disorderly conduct and vandalism. Keith’s hits include a song that states: “You ain’t much fun since I quit drinkin’.”

Friends gathered at the Salisbury Depot on Tuesday evening for a surprise going away party for Jack Thomson. Thomson is taking a job in asheville.

FROM 1a but lost the other. While the Hall House kitchen remains a shade of red, the West Fisher Street buildings that he and others fought to save came tumbling down. The demolition in June 2006 was a huge blow, but Thomson successfully lobbied the city of Salisbury for a new ordinance to delay the razing of historic properties for one year. Work still continues on the church’s expansion, causing Thomson to tell the crowd, “Apparently the Methodists have proposed their own 365day delay because they can’t get the damn thing finished.” The wins, not the losses, were counted Tuesday, as guests listed Thomson’s accomplishments, including overseeing a dramatic home restoration that was the focus of an hour-long show on the History Channel, which Thomson co-hosted. City Council’s recent surprise vote to support rehabilitation, rather than replacement, for controversial Shober Bridge made the list of victories, although the bridge’s future is still uncertain. Thousands of people tour local historic homes each year during OctoberTour, and more than 100 properties have gone through Historic Salisbury’s revolving fund to be stabilized and re-sold with protective covenants for rehabilitation. But most of all, people lauded Thomson’s character,

Maria Thomson was part of the ruse to surprise her husband, Jack, with a going away party at the Salisbury Depot.

Bad air quality days expected Today and Thursday are expected to be air quality action days, with the air quality index above 101. They will be code orange days, unhealthy for sensitive groups, with ozone as the main culprit. Children, active adults and those with heart or respiratory disease should limit outdoor activity. The Charlotte air quality forecast region includes Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, and southern Iredell counties. Rides on Salisbury Transit buses are free on red and orange ozone days. Open burning is generally prohibited on air quality action days. Burning trash and other non-vegetative material is always prohibited. For more information and exceptions to the Open Burning Rule, visit www.ncair.org/enf/openburn and http://www.ncair.org/ rules/rules/sec1900.pdf. On action days: • Drive less — carpool, vanpool, take the bus, telecommute.

• Conserve electricity. • Pack a lunch or walk to lunch. • Avoid idling your vehicle. • Refuel and mow after 6 p.m.

Air Quality Index Green: 0-50 AQI, good air quality. No health risks are expected. Yellow: 51-100 AQI, moderate air quality. Air quality is okay, but unusually sensitive people may be affected, especially when the AQI nears 100. Orange: 101-150 AQI, air quality is unhealthy for sensitive groups. Children, active adults and those with heart or respiratory disease, including asthma, should limit outdoor activity. Red: 151-200 AQI, unhealthy air quality. Everyone should avoid prolonged outdoor activity. Purple: 201-300 AQI, very unhealthy air quality. Everyone should avoid outdoor activity.

map in terms of historic preservation.” Bitzer said Thomson’s work “has laid a very solid foundation for whoever follows. They are big shoes to fill.” Downtown Salisbury Director Randy Hemann, who took Thomson to Uncle Buck’s along with Walser and city planner Joe Morris, said Thomson deserved the accolades. While Thomson and the city “haven’t exactly always agreed on things,” he has been a “fabulous partner,” Morris said. Thomson acknowledged that some people wanted more change than he could deliver in six years. But he promised he was leaving Historic Salisbury a stronger organization with new insight. The group’s greatest weakness, he said, is a lack of diversity. “We need to work much harder to engage people of color,” he said, to help save their important places. Thomson and his wife restored a house at the corner of Monroe and Caldwell streets, the childhood home of Wiley Lash, Salisbury’s first black mayor. Historic Salisbury has tapped a search committee to find Thomson’s replacement.

not his projects. “His energy, passion and dedication have been contagious,” said Jason Walser, director of the LandTrust for Central North Carolina, which sponsored the party with F&M Bank, Downtown Salisbury and Historic Salisbury. Working across from Thomson, Walser said he’s watched him do everything from greet visiting dignitaries to pull chairs out of the basement. Whether the air conditioning breaks down or George Clooney needs to scout a movie location, Thomson can respond handily, supporters said. “He can go from a meeting in a suit to doing physical labor,” said Paul Fomberg, restoration specialist with the State Historic Preservation Office. “He’s a jack-ofall-trades.” Thomson is credited with changing the image of Historic Salisbury from stodgy to youthful and politically active, reflected in the turnout Tuesday night. While many longtime preservations like Anne Lyles attended and expressed sadness over Thomson’s departure, the room was dominated by the under50 crowd. “He has had a wonderful influence over the younger population,” Lyles said.

Hours after court, Clemens hits course

CALABASH— Roger Clemens showed Monday that he’s nearly as fast on the golf course as he ever was on the mound. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner hopped into a golf cart with country music blaring and sped through 18 holes, just hours after pleading not guilty to charges of lying to Congress about whether he used steroids or human growth hormone during his baseball career. Following his 14-minute ap-

pearance for an arraignment in federal court in Washington, Clemens flew into Myrtle Beach, S.C., and traveled about 30 miles north to The Pearl Golf Course in Calabash, a small town near the South Carolina state line famous for its seafood restaurants. Earlier Monday, Clemens uttered “Not guilty” in a strong, confident voice sporting a black blazer and blond highlights in his hair, marked the official beginning of a court case that could taint baseball even further and land the “Rocket” in jail.

Wake names starter Stachitas was replacement for Tebow BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

WINSTON-SALEM — Ted Stachitas doesn’t want to be known only for the quarterbacks he’s replaced. That’s not easy when one of them is Tim Tebow. After taking over for Tebow in high school, Stachitas now is poised to succeed record-breaking Riley Skinner as the man under center for Wake Forest. “I’m used to everyone’s expectations .... and all the questions, the doubts,” Stachitas said Tuesday. So instead of merely being recognized as somebody’s replacement, the redshirt sophomore is looking to create an identity of his own — starting Thursday night when the Demon Deacons open against Presbyterian. That will mark his first start since he was at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in 2007, the year after he inherited Tebow’s job. He led Nease to consecutive Florida Class 4A championship games in both years as the starter despite what he said was a prevailing opinion that “people didn’t really think we could duplicate what he did with the team.” Meanwhile, down the road in Gainesville, Tebow blossomed into one of the sport’s most heralded figures while winning two national championships, two Southeastern Conference titles and a Heisman Trophy. Nobody’s expecting that kind of production from Stachitas, who has a different style than Tebow but a similar habit — a knack for tucking the ball under and running when he needs a yard or two. That skill could make Stachitas, who rushed for 845 yards and 15 touchdowns as a high school senior, a valuable weapon for a Wake Forest team looking to re-establish its ground game after the Skinner-led offense wound

Captains ready to lead Catawba BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

How did Catawba defensive lineman Brandon Sutton spend his summer vacation? Well, from 7 a.m until 4 p.m., he toiled daily in the heat on a Catawba outdoors maintenance crew. When Sutton got off work his real labor began with conditioning from 5

until 7:30 with Catawba assistant John Fitz. Those sweaty sessions were followed by 90 additional minutes of workouts with some of the 35 teammates who stayed in town all summer preparing for Saturday’s home game against St. Augustine’s at 7 p.m. Sutton arrived in Salisbury three years ago as a brash, trash-talking, lovable lug, an East-West All-Star

UNc’s Butch davis is in the middle of controversy.

The University of North Carolina quite clearly has an institutional oversight problem regarding its football program. The extent and impact of that deficiency likely will not be known until an investigation into a possible fullblown academic scandal runs its course. But for anyone to deny that the school’s football culture is either out of control

or very close to that point is to completely ignore the rancid odor that has permeated Kenan Stadium throughout the summer. That’s especially the case with head coach Butch Davis, who is being paid $2 million annually to win games and operate a clean, respectable program. In defense of both Davis and North Carolina, the entire big-time college football community has become so totally out of control that the current problems are proba-

bly closer to the norm than the exception. Counting assistant coaches, graduate aides, support staff, equipment experts and various other personnel, many schools have more football-related employees than some corporations. The perceived cost of high-level competition is such that even in the midst of the investigations, an awkward $70 million expansion project is under way at Kenan.

 Local racing Salisbury’s Justin Allison will race in the Allison Legacy Series and the Pro All Stars Series on Saturday at North Wilkesboro Speedway, which has been closed since 1996. Bobby Allison and Donnie Allison will be the grand marshalls for the weekend. Justin Allison will drive the No. 1 car in the Allison Legacy Series owned by his family and the No. 74 car in the Pro All Star Series. “Most of the time when we go to racetracks like that we are normally really good,” Allison said. “Those old, worn-out racetracks, they are my favorite.” Allison has six wins this year in the Allison Legacy Series along with 12 top-five finishes. He is currently leading the points race by 70 over Tyler Hill, who has won the last three races. Allison will make his third start of the year in the Pro All Star Series on Saturday night.

 Prep soccer Salisbury’s boys soccer team was tested by Central Cabarrus on Tuesday but pulled out a 2-1 victory when keeper Connor Miller parried a shot at the right post, then made a diving stop at the left post in the final seconds. “Two amazing saves,” Salisbury coach Tom Sexton said. Kenne Bonilla helped Miller foil Central’s late bid to tie. Gerardo Sosa scored on a rebound for a 1-0 SHS lead, and Matt Cervantes ripped in a 20-yard goal for a 2-1 lead after the Vikings had tied the score. Sexton had praise for Central’s keeper, who made at least seven difficult saves. The Hornets also sent shots off the bar four times. B.J. Woods and Hanson Saryee helped the Hornets control the match in the second half with help from defenders John Canipe and Spencer Dixon. “This was a wakup call, but Canipe came up huge for a freshman, and Woods was outrageous in the midfield,” Sexton said. “A lot of things did not go our way, but when you can still find a way to win, that means you’re pretty good. We clicked when we had to.” Salisbury played most of the game without left back David Simons, who is limited by a high ankle sprain. “David’s playing soccer and football and running cross country, and we’re trying to give him some rest so he can heal,” Sexton said. “We need him.” The Hornets (5-0) are ranked second in 2A and play host to East Rowan (2-3) tonight at 6 p.m.

Central, which lost 3-0 to 3A No. 1 Marvin Ridge, fell to 1-3.

Duke searching for answers BY AARON BEARD Associated Press

DURHAM — David Cutcliffe sounds confident about entrusting Sean Renfree with Duke’s passheavy offense. He’d just like to see the talented — but unproven — quarterback get a little help on the ground, too. While the five-win Blue Devils finished with their best win total in 15 years, they ranked last among Bowl Subdivision teams in rushing yards per game. That continued a long-running trend that has seen the Blue Devils fail to average even 100 yards as a team in four of the past six seasons. Cutcliffe, entering his third season, is mindful of those struggles. When asked what to expect from this year’s running game in Saturday’s opener against Elon, he was quick to respond, “Let’s hope there is one.” “I don’t think I’d call what we were a year ago a running game, so the first thing is to see it,” Cutcliffe said. Duke averaged about 64 yards per game on the ground last season, putting the burden of the offense entirely on the shoulders of Thad Lewis. Lewis also took every snap knowing the pass rushers were charging forward without having even a fleeting worry about Duke’s ground game. Now the job belongs to Renfree, a sophomore whom Cutcliffe has been high on since his arrival in Durham. While the coach calls Renfree a “big, strong, prostyle quarter-

back,” he probably doesn’t want to have to rely on him to make every play just yet. It’s not about churning out 100-yard rushers every week. It’s about being productive enough to keep defenses honest. “When you have that balanced running game, it’s hard to sit on a pass or at least know it’s a pass,” Renfree said. “We’ll have a play-action game this year, which is important.” Sophomore Desmond Scott tops the depth chart at running back, despite failing to run for more than 41 yards against an ACC opponent. Backup Jay Hollingsworth fared worse, failing to reach the 40-yard mark all year. “It all starts with the mindset,” Scott said. “Our mindset is we’re not going to be 120th (nationally) in rushing any more from here on out. ... Any team, if you can run the ball well, it opens up the passing game and makes the quarterback more relaxed.” Scott earned the starting job because he is solid in both running routes on the Blue Devils’ screen passes or taking the handoff, Cutcliffe said. He also said the coaching staff has been quick to rely on the pass in the past because they it’s been so effective, possibly at the expense of developing the ground game. “When you feel like you can complete passes, it’s hard not to want to throw 70 balls a game and stop running,” he said. “But we’ve got to run the football to make ourselves better as a team.”

CAPTAINS FROM 1B said,” Sutton said. “This was a school known for greatness when I came here, and it needs to be that way again.” Catawba head coach Chip Hester allows the players to vote for captains. That sounds risky, but they picked the logical guys — Sutton and quarterback Patrick Dennis. Sutton is the most accomplished defensive player on the roster, and he’s vocal. Dennis is quieter, but he’s been the offensive leader all along, even when Catawba was looking elsewhere for someone to take charge. “Their peers voted for the same two the coaches would’ve picked,” Hester said. “To be voted captain by your peers, that’s a pretty big honor. Their teammates realize how hard Patrick and Brandon have worked, how much they’ve done for the program.” While just about everyone figured Sutton had star quality coming out of Greene Central High in Snow Hill, no one got excited when Dennis was one of the names on Catawba’s long list of recruits in 2005. Catawba had grown accustomed to superstar quarterbacks. Luke Sam-

ples had just exited. Brad Roach, the king-sized quarterback of the present and future, was putting up crazy numbers. Dennis was 6 feet tall, 165 pounds, ran the 40 in 5-something and didn’t have an exceptionally strong arm. Sure, he’d thrown for 2,200 yards as a senior at Cedar Ridge High in Hillsborough, but his college ceiling appeared to be running the scout team. Dennis, however, has always found a way to outthink or outwork everyone else. “I’ve never been the biggest, the strongest, the fastest,” Dennis said. “But I do have some knowledge of the game and I pride myself on my work ethic.” By 2007, Dennis had made himself a viable backup. In 2008, he was edged for the starting job in training camp by Howard Williamson, but he wound up throwing for 357 yards in one game and tossing 13 TD passes for the season. With Cam Sexton’s transfer to Catawba from UNC prior to the 2009 season, Dennis was again relegated to a backup role, but injuries elevated his status. He threw 14 touchdown passes and had 300-yard games against Carson-Newman at Tusculum. Dennis, who first reported to Catawba at 165 pounds, weighs a solid 198 now. And

As with at least 75 other major colleges, North Carolina needs to simplify and purify its athletic operation, while cutting back operating costs in football and basketball. The big-time football model of the past 10 or so years is financially and ethically unsustainable. There are NFL teams that would die for the sort of football infrastructure and personnel budgets routinely found on college campuses. For all its investment and emphasis on the sport, North Carolina last won a league football championship in 1980, while Wake Forest and Georgia Tech have won titles in the past four years. Regardless of where the current probes lead, North Carolina needs to come away from this ordeal determined to keep a closer eye on all sports but particularly football. Proof of that much was right in chancellor Holden

Thorp’s words last week when he said he “didn’t think this would happen, and we still don’t know the extent of it.” Who knew what should come out eventually, but at the least Davis should have known that he was operating in a dangerous area by hiring a tutor for his son that had also worked for the football program. Athletic director Dick Baddour added, “We don’t yet know the extent of the issue” regarding possible academic fraud. In other words, there was a possible time bomb and no one noticed or heard anything. What’s more, apparently no one in power was looking or caring seriously until the possible academic wrongdoing happened to pop up during the course of the NCAA investigation into player/agent dealings. Now, a group of UNC folks will attempt to sift through the backwash. In addition to

school lawyers, Baddour said UNC compliance chief Lance Markos, assistant AD John Blanchard, former longtime faculty rep to athletics Jack Evans and current faculty athletic rep Lissa Broome will be on the team. Hopefully, that group will be expanded to include at least a couple of faculty members with no ties to athletics. Thorp said, “The way Carolina does things will be apparent in how we handle this” and “we will not let these mistakes define our university and what we stand for. We will use this to be a better university, a better athletic department and a better football program in the years to come.” That process has to begin with conducting the most thorough, transparent and neutral investigation possible. If the fact-finding mission follows any other direction, the school will again have failed to maintain the best possible institutional control.

How To Get The Perfect Shoe Fit

UNC FROM 1B The addition is being called “The Carolina Student-Athlete Center for Excellence” with the core words being “student-athlete.” The facility will include a 13,600-square-foot weight room and — get this — an academic support area that the school says will be the largest of its kind in the ACC. Presumably, that is where the team’s tutors will do their chores. There’s a big demand for tutorial assistants in football and basketball at almost all schools these days. But that’s to be expected when the standard recruiting procedure across the board is to annually sign at least a few players who have no more than marginal interest in attending college.

Pack picks Haynes as starting tailback Associated Press

The college football notebook ... RALEIGH— North Carolina State has settled on a surprise choice to start at running back. One-time defensive back Dean Haynes will start at tailback when the Wolfpack open Saturday night against Western Carolina. The redshirt freshman will be backed up by freshman Mustafa Greene. Junior Curtis Underwood was listed as the starter after spring practice with sophomore James Washington as his backup. On that depth chart, Haynes was listed as a backup at free safety. NESBITT FOR HEISMAN ATLANTA — Georgia Tech wants Heisman Trophy voters to know quarterback Joshua Nesbitt is the most interesting player in college football. Georgia Tech launched a website on Tuesday to promote Nesbitt as a Heisman candidate. Nesbitt wears a tuxedo on www.Nesbitt4Heisman.co m as he spoofs the older, bearded star of the Dos Equis beer advertising campaign. The Dos Equis actor, who is billed as the most interesting man in the world, asks viewers to “Stay thirsty, my friends.” Nesbitt’s request is “Vote for me, my friends.” This is Georgia Tech’s first Heisman Trophy campaign since 1999, when quarterback Joe Hamilton finished second to Wisconsin’s Ron Dayne. CLEMSON CLEMSON, S.C. — Clemson linebacker Brandon Maye will undergo surgery on his knee and miss the team’s seasonopening game against North Texas. Coach Dabo Swinney announed the injury after practice Tuesday. Maye had started 25 of the past 26 games for Clemson. INDEPENDENT PROVO, Utah — BYU is going independent in football, after all.

BYU says it is leaving the Mountain West Conference and will go independent in football while joining the West Coast Conference in all other sports in the 2011-2012 school year. BYU and its new conference announced the moves in simultaneous releases late Tuesday afternoon, saying further details would be given at a news conference Wednesday at BYU’s LaVell Edwards Stadium. BYU said its resignation from the Mountain West takes effect June 30, 2011, allowing the Cougars to start West Coast Conference play next fall. The announcement ended nearly two weeks of speculation since BYU’s original plan to go independent surfaced, then unraveled within hours when the Mountain West Conference made a protective move and invited Nevada and Fresno State to leave the WAC for the MWC. INGRAM OUT Mark Ingram’s run for a second Heisman Trophy has been put on hold, and possibly even derailed, before the Alabama tailback had a chance to gain a single yard. Ingram will miss No. 1 Alabama’s opener against San Jose State after injuring his left knee late in practice Monday, coach Nick Saban said Tuesday. Saban said in a statement the star tailback had an arthroscopic procedure and should make a full recovery in a “relatively short time.” MISSISSIPPI JACKSON, Miss. — The NCAA has denied Mississippi quarterback Jeremiah Masoli’s request for a waiver that would allow him to play immediately, meaning the former Oregon standout won’t be eligible until 2011. Mississippi announced Tuesday plans to appeal the ruling, with a response expected in a week. “I’m just shocked and disappointed,” Masoli said. “I’ve done everything I can to follow the rules.”

Forecasting the BCS Associated Press

The season starts Thursday, so what better time to jump ahead five months and predict what teams will play in the Bowl Championship Series and who wins it all. Remember, it’s no fun to pick the obvious. Rose Bowl. TCU (at-large) vs. Oregon (Pac-10 champion). The Pac-10 might be the toughest conference in the country to forecast. The Ducks won’t miss quarterback Jeremiah Masoli all that much and they make it two straight Rose Bowl appearances. The Horned Frogs become the first team from a non-automatic qualifying conference to play in the Rose Bowl. Fiesta Bowl. Oklahoma (Big 12 champion) vs. Connecticut (Big East). The Sooners bounce back from a messy 8-5 season to reclaim the Big 12 and earn a chance to snap their BCS losing streak at three games. The second-toughest conference to predict is the Big East. The experienced and wellcoached Huskies earn their first BCS bid. Orange Bowl. Miami (ACC champion) vs. Nebraska (atlarge). The rebirth of Miami and Nebraska as elite programs leads to an Orange Bowl matchup that has decided national championships in the past. Soon we might see the Hurricanes and Cornhuskers playing each other for national titles again. Sugar Bowl: Alabama (atlarge) vs. Ohio State (atlarge). The preseason favorites to reach the BCS title game will both be relegated to second-best in their con-

ferences. The Buckeyes get yet another postseason opportunity to show they can keep pace with the SEC. BCS championship in Glendale, Ariz. Florida (SEC champion) vs. Wisconsin (Big Ten champion). The Gators have more than enough talent to make another run at the national championship. The only thing they lack is experience. And even if they lose to Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Oct. 2, they will get another shot at the Tide in Atlanta for the SEC title in December. The Badgers clear the only major hurdles on a manageable schedule by beating Ohio State at home and Iowa on the road in consecutive October weekends and play for their first national title. BCS champion: Make it five straight for the SEC and three championships in five seasons for Urban Meyer and the Gators.

COLLEGE HOOPS WILMINGTON — North Carolina-Wilmington and former men’s basketball coach Benny Moss have cut ties. School officials said Tuesday that they have reached a financial settlement with Moss. In January, he was removed as coach and was reassigned within the athletic department midway through his fourth season leading the Seahawks. Moss resigned the new position effective Tuesday. Moss was 41-74 at UNC Wilmington and was 23-45 in Colonial Athletic Association play. The Seahawks have since hired former North Carolina player and ex-Tennessee coach Buzz Peterson.

The NFL notebook ... TEMPE, Ariz. — Derek Anderson will start at quarterback again for Arizona when the Cardinals play Washington on Thursday night in their final preseason game. Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he will use the same playing order as he did in last Saturday’s 14-9 win at Chicago. That means Matt Leinart will come in to replace Anderson at some point. “It worked for us,” the coach said, “so we’ll see if it continues to work that way.” He said neither quarterback will get as much playing time as they did against the Bears, “but both guys will get the opportunity.” Whisenhunt’s decision came following a meeting with Leinart on Monday afternoon after the former Heisman Trophy winner told reporters that he had outplayed Anderson in training camp and preseason, and that his problem with his coach “probably goes beyond football.” Whisenhunt called it “a good talk” PANTHERS CHARLOTTE — The Carolina Panthers lost a key member of their special teams unit on Tuesday when Wallace Wright was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury that requires surgery.

NEW YORK — Maria Sharapova overcame a deficit and a big-hitting opponent to avoid a significant upset in the first round of the U.S. Open. Sharapova, the 2006 champion at Flushing Meadows, played solidly and often safely while putting together a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory over 60th-ranked Jarmila Groth of Australia on Tuesday. Earlier, No. 4-seeded Jelena Jankovic, like Sharapova, needed to turn things around after losing the first set. Jankovic, the runner-up at the 2008 U.S. Open, managed to get past 18-year-old Simona Halep of Romania 4-6, 6-4, 7-5. The first seeded woman to exit was No. 8 Li Na, who lost to Kateryna Bondarenko 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. In men’s action, Mardy Fish, an American seeded 19th, won in five sets, but fan favorite James Blake needed only three to reach the second round.

One of Carolina’s few free-agent signings in the offseason, Wright came from the New York Jets in hopes of leading a turnaround of a Carolina special teams unit that ranked near the bottom of the league in punt and kickoff coverage in 2009. Wright was third in special teams tackles with the Jets last season and was tied for the team lead a year earlier. “He was a guy we were counting on pretty heavily both at the receiver position and the kicking game,” Panthers coach John Fox said. COWBOYS IRVING, Texas — Whatever improvements Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys expect to make before the regular season will have to come on the practice field. Romo and most starters will sit out the preseason finale Thursday night against Miami.

Braves slam Mets Associated Press

ATLANTA — David Ross hit his first career grand slam to cap a seven-run inning made possible by Luis Castillo’s error, and the Atlanta Braves routed the New York Mets 9-2 on Tuesday. The Mets scored two runs in the fifth off rookie Mike Minor, but the 2-1 lead didn’t last long. In the bottom half, the Braves knocked out Jonathon Niese (8-7), taking advantage of Castillo’s blunder. The second baseman let a likely double-play grounder slip between his legs, and the Braves made New York pay big time. Jason Heyward followed with a two-run double, Alex Gonzalez had an RBI single and Ross cleared the bases by lining his second homer of the season into the left-field seats. The slow-running Ross also had a triple. Nate McLouth, the Braves’ former starting centerfielder just back from Triple-A, sparked the sevenrun inning by getting plunked with a pitch as a pinch-hitter. The Mets traded Jeff Francoeur and cash to Texas for infielder Joaquin Arias. Reds 8, Brewers 4 CINCINNATI — Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman was stellar in his big league debut, throwing 102 mph during one perfect inning. The Reds went 19-8 in August, the majors’ best mark. Astros 3, Cardinals 0 HOUSTON — Wandy Rodriguez pitched seven innings and three relievers completed the three-hit shutout. Hunter Pence drove in two runs in Houston’s three-run fourth inning. Marlins 1, Nationals 0 (10) MIAMI — Chad Tracy home Hanley singled Ramirez in the 10th inning. Pirates 14, Cubs 7 CHICAGO — Neil Walker and Garrett Jones each hit a long two-run homer. Walker went 4 for 5 with four RBIs and three runs scored for the Pirates. AMERICAN LEAGUE White Sox 4, Indians 3 CLEVELAND — With Manny Ramirez standing in the on-deck circle ready to pinch-hit, A.J. Pierzynski drilled a tiebreaking threerun homer off Frank Herrmann in the ninth. Ramirez retreated to Chicago’s dugout, where the fun-loving slugger celebrated his new teammate’s heroics by high-fiving the rest of the White Sox as if he was the one who had homered. Edwin Jackson struck out 10 in 82⁄3 innings. He gave up Shelley Duncan’s leadoff homer in the seventh and appeared on his way to a complete game before the Indians rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth. Jackson is the first White Sox starter with 10-plus strikeouts in three straight starts since Floyd Bannister in 1985. Twins 4, Tigers 3 MINNEAPOLIS — Delmon Young had the goahead single in the seventh as the Twins came back from an early 3-0 deficit. Yankees 9, Athletics 3 NEW YORK — Mark Teixeira hit a three-run homer and Curtis Granderson and Nick Swisher also went deep for the Yankees. The victory moved the Yankees back into sole possession of first place. Tampa Bay and New York had spent eight days tied atop the AL East. Blue Jays 13, Rays 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 43rd homer during a 10-run sixth. Bautista capped the sixth-inning outburst with a three-run shot off reliever Lance Cormier to put the Blue Jays up 11-3. Orioles 5, Red Sox 2 BALTIMORE — Rookie Brian Matusz won his third consecutive start, and the Orioles beat Josh Beckett. Baltimore went 17-11 in August, 17-10 with Buck Showalter in the dugout. The Orioles last had a winning August in 1997.

CLEVELAND — Behind trendy, white-framed sunglasses with rosecolored lenses, his dreadlocks pulled neatly together with a rubber band, Manny Ramirez walked to the front of the interview room wearing Chicago’s silver and black for the first time. As he approached the dais, Ramirez adjusted the Velcro straps on his batting gloves. Make no mistake. He’s here to hit. “I just want to play baseball,” he said through White Sox bench coach Joey Cora, who served as Ramirez’s translator during a brief news conference bordering on bizarre. Already, Manny’s being himself. Ramirez began the next phase of his colorful career Tuesday when he officially joined the White Sox, who claimed the 12-time All-Star off waivers for the final month of the playoff chase. Manager Ozzie Guillen will give him his first start today when the teams conclude their series with a day game. Ending a media boycott that began in spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ramirez spoke only in Spanish to reporters, who wondered if he would conform to Chicago’s personal-appearance policy and cut the flowing dreadlocks he has worn for the past several years. “That’s a stupid question,” Ramirez said. “I’m here to play baseball and that has nothing to do with playing baseball.” Ramirez was asked how he feels physically. “Like a 25-year-old,” he said. He said only God knows how long he can keep playing, but Ramirez said he remains driven. “I still have that fire to compete,” he said. “As long as I have that fire to compete, I’m going to keep playing. As soon as that fire leaves, it’s time to go.” Ramirez has long had a reputation for being lackadaisical. His ca-

He will. You treat Manny with respect and he’s fine,” Guillen said. “All I want him to do is drive in runs. He will run. I don’t say he’s going to run like Juan Pierre. But he will run like Manny. I wish he can play every day, but I don’t know. He’s not 15 anymore. “Right now, I can’t say we are a better team because Manny hasn’t played. He is not the same player as when he went to LA. He was the type of player who could carry a team in the past. Do we want that to happen? Of course we do. But we’ll be happy if he comes in and helps.” Guillen isn’t worried about Ramirez’s appearance and will leave those issues to White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf. “That’s Jerry’s problem,” Guillen said. “That is not in my rules. As a manager, I appreciate Jerry’s rules, but the only thing I can do is bench him. We brought him here to play. I stay away from that. If I was Manny, I would try to keep the chairman happy.”

Chapman in mix for Cincy Associated Press

CINCINNATI — The fire alarm was squealing at Great American Ball Park when leftAroldis hander Chapman walked through the dugout and stepped onto a major league field for the first time. No, he hadn’t thrown one of those triple-digit fastballs yet. Just a false CHAPMAN alarm. This time. The Cuban defector joined the Cincinnati Reds before their game Tuesday night against Milwaukee, with everybody eager to see how his urban-legend fastball — the one clocked at up to 105 mph in the minors — fares in the majors. Will it still sizzle? Chapman got a standing ovation from the crowd of only 19,218 when he jogged out of the bullpen to pitch the top of the eighth with the Reds leading 8-3. Fans let out a collective “ooh” after each warmup throw. His first pitch to Jonathan Lucroy registered 98 mph, and the third one hit 102 mph, drawing a loud cheer. Chapman made quick work of the three batters he faced — a strikeout by Lucroy on an 86 mph slider and two weak ground balls by Craig Counsell and pinchhitter Carlos Gomez. Half of his eight pitches reached triple digits, topping out at 102. He walked off the field to another standing ovation. “There’s not a whole lot of guys like him, if any,” said pitcher Sam LeCure, who was his teammate at Triple-A Louisville. BRAVES ATLANTA — For six weeks, Derek Lowe has pitched with a nagging pain near his right elbow. He doesn’t expect it to keep him off the mound during the Atlanta Braves’ playoff push, but it was serious enough for him to receive the first injection of his career. Lowe opened up Tuesday about a problem that had him flexing his right hand during his last start, a miserable three-inning effort against Florida. He surrendered five runs before deciding he couldn’t go on. “I knew I was in trouble when I started,” the 37-year-old Lowe said. “I didn’t have any strength in my hand. I told Roger (McDowell, the pitching coach) after the third inning, ‘This is pointless.’ ” Lowe (11-12, 4.53 ERA) said the problem is actually behind his elbow but affects his ability to grip the ball. He told the Braves about the pain three weeks ago and had been caring for its with anti-inflammatory medication and treatment. After his last start, he decided to try a cortisone shot for the first time. He has lost three straight decisions, and only an improbable comeback by the Braves in his last

appearance kept his skid from reaching four in a row. Lowe insists that his problem is nothing serious, perhaps just a severe case of tendinitis. “I’ve done countless exams and talked to doctors and it’s not the ligament, it’s not the Tommy John thing,” Lowe said, referring to the ligament replacement operation that usually requires at least a year of recovery time. “We’re trying to figure out what we can do to get the swelling out where I can bend my arm.” NATIONALS MIAMI — Stephen Strasburg will have Tommy John surgery on Friday to rebuild his injured right elbow, an operation that is expected to sideline him for 12 to 18 months. PIRATES PITTSBURGH — With slightly more than a month of the season remaining, right-hander Charlie Morton is threatening to have one of the worst years by any starting pitcher in major league history. Despite spending nearly three months in Triple-A, Morton is 1-10 with a 10.03 ERA in 11 starts for the last-place Pirates. He has allowed at least five earned runs in all but three starts, although he hasn’t lasted longer than six innings anytime. According to STATS LLC, Morton’s 10.03 ERA is the third highest by a major league starter going into September since the 1952 season. Only Roy Halladay of Toronto in 2000 (4-7, 10.63 ERA) and the Pirates’ Steve Blass in 1973 (3-7, 10.40 ERA) had higher ERAs with at least 10 decisions at this stage. RANGERS KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Josh Hamilton is going to get a shot to help his sore right knee. TWINS MINNEAPOLIS — Doctors have told slugger Justin Morneau to remain at home until Friday as he continues to work his way back from a concussion nearly two months ago. Morneau had been taking swings at Target Field and watching some home games from the dugout in the last few weeks. RAYS ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rocco Baldelli is about to get another chance to play in the majors. The Rays are planning to purchase his contract from Triple-A Durham when rosters can be expanded today. Catcher Dioner Navarro and pitcher Jeremy Hellickson are also expected to join the Rays today. TRADE BALTIMORE — Having lost his spot in the Boston bullpen, Manny Delcarmen was traded with cash from the Red Sox to the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday for minor league pitcher Chris Balcom-Miller. Delcarmen was 3-2 with a 4.70 ERA in 48 games for Boston this season. The right-hander had been especially tough on lefty hitters, holding them to a .165 batting average.

Avoiding diabetic meds

Wednesday, Sept. 1 The year ahead could be one of tremendous growth as you make several important changes in your lifestyle and the way you think. These propitious changes will benefit you socially as well as in everyday matters. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Let others take center stage if you are uncomfortable in the presence of someone who has a powerful influence over your work or career. Don’t talk; just smile and be attentive. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — A known gossip who doesn’t have your best interests at heart might skillfully try to get you to talk about things you shouldn’t. If you’re aware of things and on your toes, you can remain mum. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Unproven tips passed onto you by a well-intentioned friend should not be taken at face value. Your pal might mean well, but his or her information is likely to be greatly distorted. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — No one should be allowed to make a critical decision for you without your permission and, even then, only in a dire emergency. Without full knowledge of your affairs, such actions could be destructive. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be logical at all times, rather than wishful, regardless of how much you want something to be true. If your assessments are bad, so will be the results of your actions. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Keep your thoughts to yourself, especially if they are ones that make you feel superior to others. There is no quicker way to lose friends than to act as if you think you’re better than everyone else. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You are asking for nothing but big trouble if you find more to criticize in your mate or special someone than you do to praise. Concentrate only on your loved one’s finer qualities. Aries (March 21-April 19) — It’s always important to acknowledge someone who goes out of his or her way to help you, but it may be even more so at this juncture. Next time, a “no thanks” will get you “no help.” Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This could turn out to be one of those days when all those little nothing purchases could add up into one whopping sum, so stay on your toes. You could empty out your wallet in no time at all. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Your awareness for detail is likely to be much sharper than usual. However, don’t use it for nitpicking but only to recognize problematical flaws that can be corrected. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Should you be pushed together once again with someone with whom you recently crossed swords, don’t pick up where you left off. Use this as a second chance to start over again. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Hanging out with friends who are penny-wise and pound-foolish doesn’t mean you have to be like them. Only you have control over your wallet, so use your personal power to control your spending. United FeatUre Syndicate inc.

Spot the spots that are useful BY PHILLIP ALDER

Dear Dr. Gott: My fasting glucose has been averaging between 116 and 118 for the past 31⁄2 years. Now, all of a sudden, I’ve had a couple of readings in the 135 to 145 range. What can I do without going on medication? Dear Reader: There are a number of reasons why you might have a few random high readings. Perhaps you ate out and consumed something the DR. PETER evening before your testGOTT ing that had a higher-thannormal amount of sugar included. Or you’ve experienced trauma, had a minor illness, consumed alcohol, or have been placed on a medication that affects your readings. I would certainly keep a close eye on it but would not jump the gun to consider medication at this stage. Watch your sugar intake. Eat healthful meals, avoid sugar, reduce your carbohydrate intake, and exercise appropriately. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Diabetes Mellitus.” 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. Dear Dr. Gott: In one of your replies to a reader who, at 39 years of age, was having severe hip pain, you said he had a lot of time left and that it should be quality time. First, I don’t believe you can determine how much time someone has left to live. Secondly, at what age does an individual’s right to quality time expire? As a senior with a family history of longevity, the issue of quality time greatly concerns me. Dear Reader: Well, you’re certainly right that I can’t determine how much time someone has left to live. My inference was that at 39, and under ideal circumstances, a person likely has 45 or more years of life left. In fact, average life expectancy in the United States is nearly 78 years. I’ve personally seen all too often that a young person with so much to look forward to has the rug pulled out from under him or her. And I’ve also seen people who don’t contribute to society, defy what we perceive to be a good lifestyle, smoke, drink too much, drive too fast, are obese, eat all the wrong foods and live to a ripe old age. It doesn’t seem fair. In large part, quality time is what we make of every day of our lives, and hopefully, it involves good or relatively good health, not a life fraught with pain and the unhappiness of one serious medical

condition after another. Human beings should not have a predetermined age at which quality time expires. That would open a can of worms, and we would likely behave in inappropriate ways, knowing we had little time left. We would feel justified in drinking too much, getting in trouble with the law, failing to report to work or care for our loved ones, and behaving irresponsibly. Each and every one of us is different. Even within families, one individual may suffer medical consequences beyond the scope of what should ever have to be faced, while another remains relatively healthy. An exemplary lifestyle can often be snuffed out like a lit candle at an early age. We simply have no control over that. I cannot play God, nor can anyone else and determine an age at which quality is no longer important and we become mere shadows of our former selves. That’s why it is so important to make every day count. Smile at strangers. Enjoy the company of friends and family. Of greatest importance, take care of your health to fight off the unknown. 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.

Henry Wheeler Shaw, a humorist who died in 1885 and used the pen name Josh Billings, claimed, “Laughing is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one spot.” Well, you will smile if you get this deal right, taking advantage of the two useful spot-cards you have been given. You are in four spades. West leads the heart 10. How would you plan the play? What do you think of “your” four-spade overcall? Bidding four spades is reasonable, whether or not partner is a passed hand. It is unlikely that you have a slam, and you might make life much harder for responder. Alternatively,

you could sensibly start with a takeout double, planning to rebid four spades if partner shows no signs of positive values. At trick one, the original declarer played low from the

dummy, East signaled encouragement with his seven, and South won with his king. (Yes, East guessed well that his partner had not led a singleton.) Declarer drew trumps, then played his diamond to dummy’s queen. However, East won with his ace and shifted to the club jack. West took the trick and returned his second heart, giving East two tricks in that suit to defeat the contract. As often happens, declarer made his fatal error immediately. He should have smiled upon dummy’s eight and nine of hearts. Then he should have covered West’s opening lead with dummy’s queen. East could have taken his ace, but South would have had a finessing position set up through East’s heart jack. And to take that finesse, declarer would have had a dummy entry in the spade nine.

CMA Festival special brings exposure to new acts NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Justin Moore will get the widest exposure of his young career tonight during the “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock” on ABC. Millions of country music fans will be watching him perform “Backwoods.” “Hopefully, people don’t watch it and go, ‘He sucks,’ ” Moore joked. Highly unlikely. There had to be something special about Moore’s performance to make it on the show, which is hosted by

Tim McGraw and built from the Country Music Association Festival, which was held in June in Nashville. There are cuts from the nightly concerts by Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band, special performances by Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Kid Rock and others, along with some behind-the-scenes moments and comedy bits. Country’s biggest names can expect to make the special, but for new artists it’s a tremendous opportunity. “It’s really exciting,” Moore said. “It’s another one of those

steps in your career you hope you get to make one day, but you never know.” Josh Turner says the chance to play at the festival in front of more than 50,000 people was a great opportunity — but making the cut for the three-hour TV show is even better. He’ll play his No. 1 song, “Why Don’t We Just Dance.” “You go out there and you do your show and you just hope that you’ll be competitive for the actual TV special because they only have so much room,” Turner said. “A big hit always helps.”
