Despite smoking ban, some bars still allow customers to light up Carter was uneasy with talking to a Post reporter at first because she frequents many of these bars and was concerned she’d be kicked out of her pool league, of which she’s been a member since 1993. She relented. “It’s the law. It’s a health issue and it needs to be taken seriously,” Carter said. The law requires enclosed areas of almost all restaurants and bars to be smoke-free. Smoking is also banned in enclosed areas of hotels, motels, and inns if food and drink are prepared there. There are some exceptions to this law: • Cigar bars.

Suzy Carter plays at local bars with her pool league two or more times a week. She says since the law changed Jan. 2, banning smoking in restaurants and bars, nothing’s changed. Carter, who is a longtime member of the American Poolplayers Association, claims that of the places she frequents, at least one abides by the law. She named half a dozen establishments in Salisbury and surrounding towns that continue to allow patrons to smoke. Of those she named, only two have had one violation each — The Buccaneer and Gina’s.

State: Changes needed

AFTER THE FIRE

Questions over SBI crime lab raise credibility concerns RALEIGH (AP) — A report detailing serious flaws in the State Bureau of Investigation’s crime lab has threatened the credibility of North Carolina’s criminal justice system, lawmakers say, and major changes are needed. The News and Observer of Raleigh reports that both Democrats and Republicans in the legislature are dismayed by the findings of the report last month, which detailed how SBI agents helped prosecutors obtain convictions over a 16-year period by misrepresenting blood evidence and keeping critical notes from defense lawyers. “When folks in law enforcement see something like this occur, it can really call into question everything they are doing,” said Senate Minority Leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham. “You’ve got to clear the air.” Berger is one of several lawmakers who want to see a full audit of the entire lab. The report that produced the current outcry focused only on the lab’s serology section, which analyzes blood and other fluids. A full audit would likely cost millions, but top legislators say money isn’t a concern when the integrity of the system is at stake. “The absolute credibiliPHIL BERGER ty of the judicial system con- Senate Minorty Leader, R-Rockingham cerns me more than any expense,” said House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange. In addition to an audit, lawmakers are also talking about the possibility of removing the lab from SBI control to make it independent of prosecutors and police. “You have to separate that connection,” said Senate President Pro Tem Marc Basnight, D-Dare. “There were people who did anything to secure a conviction. How many innocent people have been convicted?” The next legislative session doesn’t start until January. But lawmakers will be reviewing the SBI lab before then, starting as soon as Sept. 16, when the Joint Study Committee on Biological Evidence meets. The committee will discuss an audit of the entire lab and its independence from the SBI, said Rep. Rick Glazier, D-Cumberland, one of the committee leaders. “This notion that the lab is a sister of the prosecution is an idea that needs to be put to rest,” he said. “There are serious quality issues with the products of the lab that cannot continue to exist.”

Kathryn Lingle leafs through the remains of one of the family’s Bibles that firefighters recovered during the fire at their home. Most of the Lingles’ property was destroyed by a fire that consumed their home.

athryn and Terry Lingle were on their way home from the beach when they received a phone call from one of their children saying they had car trouble. When the couple arrived at the parking lot they soon realized the trouble was not with the car, but with their house. A day before, the house was engulfed in flames. There was not much to go home to. The July 31 fire occurred early that morning. The Lingles’ daughter, Patricia Easley, was at the home when the fire happened. She awoke to fire on the back porch. “The good Lord woke me up,” Easley said. She saw a reddish-yellow beam of light from the bathroom window. She dialed 911 from inside the house. The dispatcher told Easley to leave. She grabbed her purse and walked out the front door. Strangers passing by called emergency personnel and others beat on the door.

Patricia Easley and her parents, Kathryn and Terry Lingle, stand on the back porch of their home on Sherrills Ford Road. A man stayed with Easley until fire departments arrived. She called her sister, who lived next door. The two watched as their parents’ house, which was built by Terry and his father in 1960, went up in flames. “I felt helpless. I felt useless. My sister and I just held each other and cried,” Easley said.

these things, but it’s the law,” he said. In Rowan County, from Jan. 2-Aug. 29, there have been 22 documented complaints at 12 establishments and two of those were verified as violations.

Jim Martin, director of policy and program development for the Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch, said there’s not a lot of complaints for restaurants. “There are hardly any complaints about smoking

in restaurants. It’s mostly bars and it’s across the state,” he said. Martin said there are more violations and complaints that appear on the website after the first few weeks, because the state allowed for a time when they expected some confusion about the law. Other businesses weren’t sure how the

law applied to them, he said. Efforts to reach the Buccaneer Lounge were unsuccessful. A listing for the Buccaneer Lounge has a non-working phone number. To file a complaint locally, contact Aldridge at 704216-8527 or at the state level at 1-800-662-7030. For more about the law, go to www.smokefree.nc.gov.

• Private clubs or country clubs. • Restaurants that are not required to comply with sanitation laws. Smoking is permitted in 20 percent of guest rooms in lodging establishments. A cigar bar must meet all criteria set forth in the law, including the smoke cannot migrate from the bar to an enclosed area where smoking is banned, such as a restaurant. A private club, according to the law, is one that maintains selective members, is operated by the members, must not provide food or lodging for pay to anyone who is not a member or a member’s guest. A club that has nonprofit status must be incorporated as a nonprofit and exempt from paying federal income tax. If a restaurant is not required to comply with the state’s sanitation laws, then it will not be required to comply with the new smoke-free law. Environmental Health Manager Lynn Aldridge said the county health department knew the law was approaching before it went into effect. He, along with other staff and inspectors hit the streets to educate businesses about the impending changes. “We visited with all the folks. We put together some information about the general statute,” he said. He said the restaurants and motels were fairly easy because inspectors already had an established relationship with owners and managers through the permit process. “Our issues have been mostly with the bars. They don’t have inspections with us,” Aldridge said. Bars are inspected by the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission. “Most have been good about it,” he said. Carter says in her opinion there are quite a few who are not good about monitoring their bars and most don’t care. “The problem is when the owners tell patrons it’s OK after 5 and that ‘I don’t care until I get fined,’ ” Carter said. Carter said Gina’s is one of those places. Although Gina did not comment, her boyfriend, Scott Gentry, who assists at the bar, did. Gentry said the business is compliant because it meets the criteria for exemptions. He points to the exemptions of a private club and not being required to abide by the sanitation law. He said they have members who can either choose to patronize the bar or not. Gentry also said the bar does not serve food except for prepackaged chips and other snack items, thus meeting the sanitation regulations. The bar also serves drinks in plastic and not glass. He admitted to leaving the ashtrays out for patrons. “We do not feel we can be fined,” Gentry said. The bar was fined in August. A week later, Gentry contacted the Attorney General’s office. He said he was told the law was “unclear.” He’s not since gotten confirmation on the correct interpretation of the law.

“It’s the law. It’s a health issue and it needs to be taken seriously.”

R126022

FROM 1a

“It should be the business owner’s right to choose,” Gentry said. He said according to the state ABC Commission, the bar is a private club. Aldridge disagrees with that status saying based on the smoke-free law, it is not private. “I’m helping her. She is trying to run her business. We should be able to do what we want legally,” Gentry said. As a “free American citizen, and as a small business owner, if people want to have a beer and smoke a cigarette” they should be able to do so, he added. He said there’s plenty of places that are not compliant. Gentry said he’s made attempts to reach someone locally and they’ve not come to an agreement on the law. Aldridge said complaints can be filed with his office or through the Tobacco and Prevention Control Branch, a division of the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. “It’s not uncommon to take time. I don’t have a time frame to validate a complaint,” he said. All complaints have to be verified and validated by a local health department official. A person in charge of a restaurant, bar or lodging establishment must post nosmoking signs in obvious locations, remove indoor ashtrays and direct a person who is smoking to extinguish the cigarette, cigar or other item. Every Monday, Aldridge receives a list of complaints that are compiled and sent from Raleigh. Inspectors go to an establishment to validate a complaint. If the complaint is validated, it becomes a violation. “Until the offense is validated, we can’t take action,” he said. The challenge to catching someone who is noncompliant, Aldridge said, is most bars are open after 5 p.m. Inspectors typically work 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and must adjust their schedules to verify a complaint. Carter said she’s called Aldridge’s office several times, but it seems nothing has been done. “They need to get off their daytime a--es and do their job. I know the county doesn’t want to pay overtime,” she said. Carter said she has cancer, which she got from secondhand smoke. She said she’s not the only one to complain. “Even the smokers say it’s too smokey,” she said. An establishment that has a first complaint that is validated, receives an education letter. The letter explains the law and what will happen if there is another violation. A second validated complaint is met with another letter. A third complaint means a first warning, a fourth complaint means a second warning and when a business reaches the fifth complaint, the health director can issue an administrative penalty. The board of health has set that penalty at $200. Any money collected from fines goes to the school system. Aldridge said law enforcement, a judge’s order and inspectors can enforce the law. “I don’t like going out to people’s places to tell them

FIRE FROM 1A “I just thought it was something with the grandkids. They didn’t want us to know,” Kathryn said. Kathryn breathed a sigh of relief when she discovered it was not one of the grandchildren. “There was no way to say it, except to say it,” she said. When her children told them the house burned, Kathryn looked at her husband. “Terry’s face drained,” she said. The couple were grateful Patricia was able to escape the fire, but heartbroken their house was destroyed. “They totaled it,” Terry said. The house is a complete loss. “You’re sad, but that can be replaced. She can’t,” Kathryn said of their daughter. Kathryn recalls exactly when the house was built. “The concrete for the basement was poured June 1960 and we were in it by August 15, 1960,” she said. The one thing the family wished they could recover was Terry’s mother’s Bible, which sat near the mantle. They’ve searched through

CONTINUED the debris, but haven’t located it yet. Fire officials said the fire was caused by an electrical compressor shorting out in the freezer. “The wires got hot,” Terry said. The freezer was toward the back side of the house. The family is now living with the Lingles’ son. They have plans to rebuild, hopefully in the same spot. They aren’t sure yet if the foundation is still good enough to rebuild on. No matter what the future holds for the family, they know there are people looking out for them. Strangers have left food for them, given them clothes and money. “One lady just drove up and put $100 in my hand,” Easley said. Fundraiser organizer Betty Grubb details how the idea came about. The idea was from church member Bobby Lippard, who suggested a barbecue fundraiser. “It just snowballed from there, and lots of people in the church wanted to help,” Grubb said. The organizers say there will be barbecued pork, baked beans, slaw, homemade desserts, tea and water. The plates will sell for $7 and $3 for a sandwich.

Jon c. Lakey/SALISBURY POST

Terry Lingle marvels at the power of ﬁre as he looks over the remains of his .410 shotgun. Most of the Lingles’ property was destroyed by a ﬁre. Part of the fundraiser will be a performance by the Chapeleers, a local gospel group, who will sing at 7 p.m.

“We are very fortunate that we belong to such caring people,” Kathryn said of their church family. Grubb called the family

“good solid Rowan people.” Donations will be accepted at the event and during the singing performance. “We knew we had

friends, but we never knew this,” Kathryn said. Contact Shavonne Potts at 704-797-4253.

Guilford schools get tough with athletes’ grades School in McLeansville saw 21 athletes become ineligible under the new policy, including 19 football players. “We lost kids who needed us more than we needed them,” Tommy Pursley, football coach at the school, said. “Participating in sports helps with discipline and self-control and to keep them out of trouble. We’re not out here just teaching these kids some silly game.” Kenneth Whitmire’s son was to be a starter this year on Smith High School’s basketball team, but now is ineligible even though he passed all his classes last spring. “Now he can’t play because he needed another two points on a test?” Whitmire asked. Guilford school officials,

though, are committed to the policy, which resembles those in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg and Winston-Salem/Forsyth County systems. “Our young athletes are capable young men and women. They have the ability,” said Guilford County Board of Education member Nancy Routh. “If they start viewing themselves as being capable of achieving whatever the expectation is for the classes they’re taking first, and athletes second, that would be my hope.”

DURHAM (AP) — Authorities say one man was killed and another wounded in a shooting that was part of a night of gun violence in a North Carolina city. Durham police told multiple media outlets that the fatal shooting was part of an attempted robbery around 10:20 p.m. Saturday. Investigators say witnesses gave officers a description of an SUV involved in the shooting, and a traffic stop a few minutes later led to the arrest of 18-year-old Deandre Rucker and a 15year-old boy. Rucker was charged with murder and attempted robbery. He remains in the Durham County jail and it isn’t clear if he had an attorney. About five hours later, Durham police say 10 people were injured, two seriously, as a car fired shots into a home. No arrests have been made in that case.

CHARLOTTE (AP) — Police say a man trying to cross a busy interstate highway in North Carolina was struck by a car and killed. The Charlotte Observer reports that the man, whose name has not yet been released, was hit by a car early Monday morning as he tried to cross Interstate 85 just north of Sugar Creek Road. Highway Patrol Sgt. E.B. Miller says it’s not clear why the man was trying to get across the highway on foot, but it’s something police have commonly seen on that stretch of I-85. Miller says it’s an especially foolish decision, because to cross the highway requires scaling an eight-foot-high concrete barrier between the northbound and southbound lanes.

“Our superintendent came on board (in 2008), and promoting academic excellence was one of his focal points,” said Leigh Hebbard, athletic director for county schools. “The standard of only passing three or passing five classes didn’t stand for promoting excellence in any shape or form, and the 2.0 requirement is a step in the right direction.” Hebbard says the total of students cut from teams this fall may actually be higher than 111, because totals are estimated by coaches. The figure also doesn’t include students who are ineligible because they failed more than one class. The new policy isn’t sitting well with everyone. Northeast Guilford High

GREENSBORO (AP) — In an effort to boost academic achievement, Guilford County schools are putting more than 100 athletes on the bench. The News & Record of Greensboro reported Sunday that at least 111 student athletes in the district are ineligible to play for their high school teams this semester because they couldn’t maintain a grade point average of 2.0, roughly a C, in their spring classes. The new policy came into effect as part of the school system’s effort to enhance the academic achievement of its students. The rule is more stringent than state eligibility requirements, which don’t include a minimum GPA. The North Carolina High School Athletic Association requires that a student must pass three of four classes in a block schedule or five of six in a traditional schedule.

With temperatures close to 100 degrees, the cold ice cream and that magic sound brought back the smiles to Oak Park residents. What a great way to start the Labor Day weekend! The residents at Oak Park Retirement range in age from 55 to 95. They all have wonderful ice-cream memories from their childhoods. Oak Park treated the residents to anything they wanted from the ice-cream truck. Some had their favorite milkshake, while others had ice-cream sundaes or their favorite ice-cream cone.

Dad would rather see Minnie Mouse than in-laws Dear Amy: I’m a married man in my early 40s. My wife and I live in a great community. We really make an effort to live within our means. We don’t have cable TV, we drive older cars that are paid for and we have no debt other our than house. The current economy ASK and these financial choicAMY es do not leave much time or money for extravagant vacations. Because my wife misses her family, we fly 2,000 miles to visit her folks twice a year. Am I out of place to think that A. We skip a year and have a family vacation somewhere else, such as Yellowstone, Disneyland, etc. B. I stay home and let her visit her folks with the kids — although I wonder why I should be alone for two weeks just because after 10 years, I’d like to do something else with my vacation time. My wife and I argued about this, and now her parents have agreed to pay for our plane tickets. I’m still not happy. — Frustrated Father

Dear Frustrated: This isn’t really about money. This is about you not wanting to spend every single vacation with your inlaws. And, brother, I’m on your side. Your wife should definitely spend time with her family, but you two have a family together, and you could also develop vacation experiences with your kids outside of her family’s orbit. You visit your in-laws twice a year. So next year, visit them once as a family and then do something different with your children (I vote for Yellowstone or camping in one of your state parks over a visit to the Disney empire). You should also invite these grandparents to visit your home. Because you’ve hid behind the red herring of money, your in-laws have called your bluff. Try doing things differently next year.

asks people about themselves. He is, however, quick to answer questions and talk about his successful business at great length. My friends think he doesn’t like them because he never talks to them. It’s embarrassing! After work, I ask about his day and then wait for him to ask me about mine, but he never does. I was very upset about this recently. His response was, “If you wanted me to know what you did during the day, you would tell me, right?” To his credit, he has asked me once or twice since then about my day, but it felt forced. I feel he is not listening to me when I respond. His lack of interest comes across as arrogant and inconsiderate. Am I expecting too much for him to show an interest? — Frustrated in Calif.

port multi-service commanders. His continued commitment to provide the Air Force with Warrior airmen of character resulted in the establishment of the Air Force Security Forces Academy, a decision that aligned all aspects of formal security forces training under the 343rd Training Squadron. This action allowed the career field to capitalize on efficiencies and guaranteed consistent training philosophies across 64 courses. He answered the call when combatant commanders needed additional battlefield airmen. His response resulted in graduating more than 170 combat controllers and special tactics officers from the apprentice course and drove combat control manning to more than 90 percent for the first time in history. As an advocate of realistic training, his guidance was paramount in the acquisition of $111 million of aircrew training devices, including an MH-53 helicopter, a C-20 Gulfstream aircraft, and a historic KC-135 tanker aircraft. He planned and executed a $106 million Base Realignment and Closure Committee-directed relocation of the 345th Training Squadron to Fort Lee, Va. His drive for success, superior initiative, outstanding leadership and personal endeavor resulted in the group receiving an overall “Excellent” rating during the 2009 Headquarters Air Education and Training Command Unit Compliance Inspection. Romano currently serves as Chief of Security and Special Programs Division at the Pentagon, Arlington, Va. The colonel has served in the mil-

itary for 33 years. His wife, Karen, is the daughter of Nora Knelp of Salisbury. The colonel graduated in 1975 from Upper Darby Senior High School, Pennsylvania. He earned master’s degrees in 1989 from George University, Washington Washington, D.C., and in 1999 from Air University, Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala.

Romano decorated with Legion of Merit Air Force Col. Joseph L. Romano III has relinquished command of the 37th Training Group at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. For his distinguished meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services as group commander from June 2008 to August 2010, he was decorated with the Legion of Merit Medal. The Legion of Merit Medal, the nation’s fifth-highest medal, is awarded to members of all the U.S. Armed Forces for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements. The performance must have been such as to merit recognition of key individuals for service rendered in a clearly exceptional manner. Col. Romano commanded the Air Force’s largest technical training group, delivering more than 74,000 Department of Defense and international graduates in 31 enlisted and officer specialties in support of combat operations. He focused in leading the reduction in non-training time by 1.2 days, saving $2.5 million and reducing the studentout-of-training day to 12.14 from a 15-day command average, saving the Air Force $3.9 million. His drive for excellence bolstered the effectiveness of the Department of Defense Military Working Dog Program. Under Romano's direction, 167 specialized search dog teams, 442 kennel masters, 732 multipurpose dogs, and 1,105 handlers were produced and delivered to sup-

Police name victims in NC double murder-suicide BOLIVIA (AP) — Police have identified the victims in what they say was a double murder-suicide in a coastal North Carolina town. The StarNews of Wilmington reported Monday that the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office says the Sunday night incident began as a domestic argument. The shooting took place near the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission’s boat launch in Bolivia. Police found 52-year-old Dennis Blalock dead in the driver’s seat of a car. They also found 34-year-old Sheryl Hickman Warr in the car. The third victim, 29year-old Brandon Warr, was found on the ground outside the vehicle. Police say they’re still investigating the circumstances of the shooting.

Cautionary tale for alumni who expect ‘legacy’ priority for kids ere’s a true story that is also a cautionary tale for all those parents who believe they have a super smart son or daughter who will have no problem getting into the college or university of their choice, especially those institutions from which one or both parents have graduated. A longtime friend who received his undergraduate degree from a highly regarded southern “public” university in the state where he still resides was shocked when his school put his son on a waiting list for admission with very little encouragement DAN that he ultimately would THOMASSON be accepted. He had heard the complaints by other parents that qualified students from the better high schools in the northern part of the state were being passed over to make room for a growing percentage of students from out of state who pay higher tuitions. But school officials had assured him there was no such quota (at least on paper). The son had done everything right. His high school GPA was 4 point plus and he had participated in a number of out-ofclass activities designed to broaden his perspectives and make him better prepared for college. He had never caused his parents or his teachers a moment’s problems. The father, soft spoken and even tempered, immediately called the

director of admissions for his alma mater and quietly asked for an explanation. He was informed that there were only so many slots available for incoming freshmen and they had been filled by exceptionally gifted applicants. The father, a doctor of dental surgery quite capable of paying full tuition, then asked if being a “legacy” would help and was told in most occasions it did. When he informed the admissions person that he was an alumnus, there was a long pause and then the person said ultimately that “might” be taken into consideration. Then the frustrated parent politely and firmly asked whether the person on the other end had access to the computer list of those who had provided financial support to the institution over the years. “You know,” he said, “the so-called loyal alums who help make the school what it is and less dependent on state money?” The admission’s official said that he did have access and my friend said to look up his record on the computer. Within a minute or two there was a gasp. “Oh, my gosh!” “That’s right,” my friend said, his voice taking on a decidedly sterner tone, to put it mildly. “Now I must ask you to do two things. Take my son’s name off your waiting list. He is not going to attend your school under any circumstance and then inform your superiors from the president on down to take my name off solicitation for any future fundraising.

ECONOMIC TOOL

Broadband key for N.C. hen running for governor in 2008, Beverly Perdue often spoke about modeling her approach to the office after O. Max Gardner, her favorite political figure in North Carolina history. He led the state through the onset of the Great Depression, investing public money in infrastructure to create jobs and cultivate economic development, actions that offer Perdue some useful lessons. Surely Gardner would have shared Perdue’s enthusiasm for North Carolina winning federal grant funding for a dramatic expansion of broadband Internet access through the state’s rural corners. That investment in cutting-edge infrastructure holds tremendous potential for education and commerce, and could prove to be a transformational moment for the North Carolina economy. Last month, Perdue announced that the state received $115 million through the federal Recovery and Reinvestment Act to bring high-speed broadband Internet access to rural communities throughout the state. When added to previous broadband development grants received through that legislation, North Carolina has collected more than $255 million for Internet development through two rounds of funding. In this case, the money was awarded to MCNC, a nonprofit organization founded in 1980 that helps build partnerships between educational institutions, research facilities, government entities and businesses. Backing the federal money is $24 million from the Golden LEAF Foundation, created to oversee the distribution of money from cigarette companies to tobacco-dependent communities. There could hardly be a more appropriate investment for the foundation than the development of an infrastructure with so much promise to transform rural areas of North Carolina once reliant on tobacco cultivation for income. Part of the excitement surrounding this award is its scope, since MCNC intends to develop broadband access in 69 counties, including Pitt. The governor’s office says those improvements will connect 170 institutions to faster, reliable service, affecting about 5.1 million residents and 160,000 businesses. Installation will create an estimated 1,000 jobs, good news in this economy. However, more attractive is the future potential once the networks are built and access established. Where once roads, ports or airstrips dictated a business’s location, the ideas economy made broadband capacity the coin of the realm. With it, communities can create jobs and facilitate lasting growth, but too few in North Carolina are so fortunate. Just as the construction of roads and expansion of the university system helped in dire times long ago, these grants — and an emphasis on infrastructure development — are precisely what the state needs at this critical hour.

er nickel from me and if you want me to put that in writing, I will be glad to do so. I was not asking for a favor for an unqualified young man, just a bit of reverse loyalty for the deserving son of a dedicated alum. And since your school — it is no longer mine — doesn’t get it, it will get no more from me.” It is a dilemma faced by thousands of parents and their qualified offspring who are now beginning to spend a large part of their senior year focusing on their education after high school. Will they be accepted at the institution they most want, having done “everything right” to give themselves the best shot at it? Or will they tragically be rewarded for their diligence by becoming the victims of a system that is often whimsical and unfair in its decisions? Most parents don’t have the wherewithal to dole out a bit of vengeance for this unfair treatment. But fortunately, not all schools show as callous a disregard for those who have been faithful to them as my friend the doctor’s alma mater. But here’s the deep, dark secret, kids. There are hundreds of colleges and universities in America where the undergraduate education is equal to, if not better than, the one that turned you down even if it’s Yale or Harvard or the University of Virginia. • • • Dan K.

Jobless figures not good enough Scripps Howard News Service

espite the tenth of a percent increase in the unemployment rate last month to 9.6, there was actually some good news in the latest U.S. Department of Labor figures. One bright note was the increase itself. It rose in August because 500,000 discouraged workers who had quit looking for work felt optimistic enough about their prospects to resume their job searches. People who are not actively looking for employment are not counted in the jobless figures. In another critical measure, private employers added 67,000 jobs, beating analysts’ forecast of an increase of 41,000 in the all-important expectations game. And the government revised upward the June and July figures for private-sector job gains. Those new figures brightened Wall Street’s day with investors betting — presciently, one hopes — that the chances of a double-dip recession have

greatly receded. Overall, nonfarm payrolls fell by 54,000 jobs, but this was expected because the Census, as scheduled, shed 114,000 temporary jobs, a transient boost that has now almost completely cycled out of the -labor market. The Republicans, carefully not saying what they would do differently, pointed to the numbers as showing that the economic plan of the Democrats and the White House was-

n’t working at all. The White House said it showed that its anti-recession measures were actually working, but, as President Barack Obama conceded, “it’s not nearly good enough.” While the August report is cause for guarded optimism, the numbers are not nearly strong enough to revitalize the Democrats’ faltering electoral fortunes. The numbers need to strengthen to where people really feel them, giving them confidence that if they look for a job, they’ll find one. D The “underemployment rate,” which measures both those who have quit looking J F and part-time workers who want full-time work, is closer M to how most people view the A M job market. That rate actually J increased from 16.5 percent toJ 16.7 percent. A In the recession of 2008 and 2009, the economy lost nearly 8.4 million jobs. So far this year, the Associated Press reports, the private employers have added back 763,000. Regardless of who’s in office, we have a long, long way to go.

“The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

n a rare show of bipartisanship last month, Congress approved a $600 million border-security bill to help cut off the flow of illegal immigrants. The bill is to be financed in part by doubling the cost of an H-1B visa. This is the category that allows foreigners with the technological, scientific and medical skills our economy needs into the country for up to six years, during which time they can apply for permanent residency. That’s how badly skewed politics has made our immigration policy: We are keeping out the people we don’t want at the expense of the people we do want. Congress regularly adjusts the number of H-1B visas to placate employers who want the quotas increased or to mollify 64 groups who say foreign -109 technical workers are tak14 jobs from American ing 39 workers. 208That last seems doubt313 ful, especially when it 432 comes to engineers. -175The (r) Financial Times re-54 (r) ports -54 (p)on an Indian outsourcing firm, Cognizant Technology Solutions, that complains that it can’t find enough American engineers to fill the jobs it has available in the United States. The company is being forced to import Indian engineers from its Indian operations on work visas to fill its U.S. vacancies. “If you look at the core of what we do, the technology work, the U.S. simply doesn’t have the talent base today,” Francisco d’Souza, the company’s CEO, told the Times. The newspaper cited the National Center for Education Statistics to the effect that Indian undergraduate universities produce about 600,000 engineers a year compared to 84,000 a year in the U.S. It’s simple: We need foreign expertise. And we need their offspring. One consultant cited in the story notes that 70 percent of U.S. Ph.D. students are foreign-born. Congress should quit trying to spin the immigration issue for political advantage and concentrate on us being able to import the brainpower we need until we’re able to raise our own in sufficient numbers.

LETTERS Victims of crime need some justice In August, we took our grandchildren on vacation. I had hired a longtime family friend to house sit and feed the pets. Upon our return, we found that we had been robbed and vandalized. The Spencer police took a report and told us a detective would be in touch. We waited for days and finally recontacted the police. This time, we got a wonderful officer named Bard. He treated us with respect, dignity and was very thorough. Within three hours, he had the case solved, some of our items recovered and one of the criminals at the station! He was truly our hero. He then turned it over to the “detective.” Thus began our re-victim-

ization. According to the detective, because I told the housesitter I would not press charges if he cooperated with police and I got all of my stuff back, the D.A. said that made it a civil matter and no one was going to be arrested. Even if this is true, I never got all of my stuff back, so that makes that deal, null and void! The other victim in this robbery never uttered any deals, still had his items stolen and is being treated like he is the criminal because he wants some recourse from the system that he pays taxes for.

To dismiss any victim of a crime and to allow the criminals to walk away scot-free is a gross miscarriage of justice in any book. If it had been the mayor’s, chief of police’s or the D.A’s home, I’m sure it would have been a different story. The saddest part of this whole ordeal was when my 5year-old granddaughter looked up at me and asked, “Grandma, can’t the police protect us anymore?” How do I answer that one? — Charlene Gill Spencer

Floating cooler saves man after boat capsizes PRESQUE ISLE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard says a floating cooler help save a man whose boat capsized in Lake Huron in northern Michigan. The Coast Guard says the 46-year-old man didn’t have a life jacket when his boat overturned Monday morning off Presque Isle (PRESK EEL) County’s Presque Isle Township, about 200 miles north of Detroit. The agency says the man survived in the 60-degree water by clinging to a cooler. Another man on the boat swam to shore and called for help. A Coast Guard boat found the man about 2 p.m. He was suffering from hypothermia and was taken to a hospital for observation. The agency did not release the man’s name or hometown.

DENVER (AP) — A winddriven wildfire in the rugged Colorado foothills is growing quickly, spreading across 31⁄2 square miles and destroying some structures. About 200 homes have been evacuated, but no injuries have been reported. The fire started Monday in Four Mile Canyon northwest of Boulder, and erratic winds gusting to 45 mph spread the flames both to the west and northeast. At least four roads in the area were closed, and a plume of heavy smoke was visible for miles. The cause was unknown. Homes and cabins are scattered throughout the area, some in old mining communities and others on isolated lots. Authorities said about 100 buildings were threatened, but they didn’t know how many and what type of structures were destroyed.

Woman chastised by politician now running against him BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank’s retort was an Internet sensation. Questioned at a town hall last year about the “Nazi policy” of health care reform, Frank told the speaker who made the comment that talking to her was “like arguing with a dining room table.” Fast forward to this year, the questioner, Rachel Brown, is challenging the 15-term Democrat’s re-election bid. Brown said her exchange with Frank inspired her to run against him in the Democratic primary in the state’s 4th Congressional District. “I didn’t realize at the time that if you had a better idea, you should take their seat,” said 29-year-old Brown, a devotee of economist Lyndon LaRouche. Frank, not surprisingly, has an alternate — and sharptongued — view.

Alaska US Senate candidate cited in 3-car crash ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The Republican candidate who defeated U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska’s primary election has been cited with failing to exercise due care to avoid a recent three-car collision. Joe Miller was involved in the crash in his hometown of Fairbanks three days after the Aug. 24 election and before his surprise victory was confirmed in the counting of thousands of absentee votes and questioned ballots. Alaska State Troopers say Miller’s vehicle rear-ended a vehicle driven by Denali Park resident James Raisis, who then rear-ended a car driven by Mark Lewis of Fairbanks. Lewis was cited with stopping on a highway. He plans to contest the citation and says he was making a left turn and had his signal on when his sedan was struck. Troopers say no one was hurt.

Coyote killed; may have attacked 2 in NYC suburb RYE BROOK, N.Y. (AP) — Police have killed a coyote believed to be the same animal that attacked a teen and a toddler in two separate incidents within about an hour in a New York City suburb. The coyote lunged at a trapper and was shot dead around 9 a.m. Monday in Rye Brook. It will be tested for rabies. Authorities say there’s no way to be certain, but it appeared to be the same animal that lunged at a teen boy shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday. About an hour later, a 2-yearold girl was attacked near her home about 2 miles away. The toddler’s father took her

Man scales building in downtown San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco authorities say they plan to arrest a man who is scaling the exterior of a 58story downtown skyscraper — just as soon as he reaches the top. The San Francisco Fire Department says the man was too high for firefighters to reach by the time they responded to calls that he was climbing the building Monday afternoon. Video from KRON-TV showed the unidentified climber using what appeared to be suction cups to scale Millennium Tower, a posh residential building overlooking San Francisco Bay. Police say the man has ignored all orders to stop climbing the building. Well-known French skyscraper climber Alain Robert pleaded not guilty Friday to charges related to climbing up a 57-story building in downtown Sydney. Robert typically climbs buildings using his bare hands.

Jefferson Thomas dies at 68 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Jefferson Thomas, who as a teenager was among nine black students to integrate a Little Rock high school in the nation’s first major battle over school segregation, has died. He was 68. Thomas died Sunday in Ohio of pancreatic cancer, according to a Monday statement from Carlotta Walls LaNier, who also enrolled at Central High School in 1957 and is president of the Little Rock Nine Foundation. The integration fight was a first real test of the federal government’s resolve to enforce a 1954 Supreme Court order outlawing racial segregation in the nation’s public schools. After Gov. Orval Faubus sent National Guard troops to block Thomas and eight other students from entering Central High, President Eisenhower ordered in the Army’s 101st Airborne Division. Soldiers stood in the school hallways and escorted each of the nine students as they went from classroom to classroom. Each of the Little Rock Nine received Congressional Gold Medals shortly after the 40th anniversary of their enrollment. President Clinton presented the medals in 1999 to Thomas, LaNier, Melba Patillo Beals, Minnijean Trickey Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Ernest Green, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Terrence Roberts and Thelma Mothershed Wair.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A combative President Barack Obama rolled out a long-term jobs program Monday that would exceed $50 billion to rebuild roads, railways and runways, and coupled it with a blunt campaign-season assault on Republicans for causing Americans’ hard economic times. GOP leaders instantly assailed Obama’s proposal as an ineffective one that would simply raise already excessive federal spending. Many congressional Democrats are also likely to be reluctant to boost expenditures and increase federal deficits just weeks before elections that will determine control of Congress. Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, cautioned, “If we are going to get anything done, Republican cooperation, which has been all but non-existent recently, will be necessary.” That left the plan with low, if not impossible, odds of becoming law this year. When Congress returns from summer recess in mid-September, it is likely to remain in session for only a few weeks before lawmakers return home to campaign for reelection. Administration officials said that even if Congress quickly approved the program, it would not produce jobs until sometime next year. That means the proposal’s only pre-election impact may be a political one as the White House tries to demonstrate to voters that it is working to boost the economy and create jobs.

Death toll 45 in Guatemala mudslides; more missing Search and rescue efforts were suspended Sunday for fear that the mountainside could give way yet again, but digging resumed Monday with heavy machinery and fewer workers, said Sergio Cabanas, a Civil Protection director. Of the 100 people originally searching for bodies and survivors, only 33 remained, all of them soldiers and firefighters, Cabanas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And even they might not be able to recover the last of the bodies,â&#x20AC;? Cabanas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very dangerous to have personnel there.â&#x20AC;? At least five bodies were pulled out Monday, said Mario Cruz, a firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spokesman. Authorities initially said more than three dozen people were missing, but the estimate was lowered to 15 after further interviews with witnesses and relatives. Local police officer Suagustino Pascual Tuy said there had been several landslides along the Inter-American highway in the last year, and authorities knew of the danger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year there was a landslide there, 15 days ago there was a landslide,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now a big one came.â&#x20AC;? President Alvaro Colom, who visited the area and declared Monday a national day of mourning, said Guatemala must improve its disaster prevention efforts. He said more geologists should study the terrain in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hillsides. All told, there were 15 landslides at different spots along

Hurricane watch issued for coasts of Mexico, Texas NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Mexican authorities urged people to move to shelters while officials in Texas distributed sandbags and warned of flash floods as Tropical Storm Hermine strengthened and headed toward the northwestern Gulf coast on Monday. Hermine will probably make landfall around midnight just south of the U.S.-Mexico border, threatening to bring as much as a foot of rainfall to some areas battered by Hurricane Alex in June. Remnant rains from Alex killed at least 12 people in flooding in Mexico. Hermine â&#x20AC;&#x153;will briefly be over Mexico, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting it to produce very heavy rainfall over south Texas,â&#x20AC;? said Eric Blake, a hurricane specialist at the U.S. National Hurricane Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting widespread rainfall totals of 4 to 8 inches with isolated amounts of a foot possible. Especially in the hilly and mountainous terrain, that could cause life-threatening flash flooding.â&#x20AC;? The stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winds strengthened to about 65 mph (100 kph), and by Monday afternoon it was located about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southsoutheast of Brownsville, Texas. Tropical storm force winds extended out up to 105 miles (165 kilometers) from the stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s center. While it is likely to hit just south of Matamoros â&#x20AC;&#x201D; across the border from Brownsville â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at tropical storm force, it has the potential to build into minimal hurricane strength, Blake said. A hurricane watch was issued for the area from Rio San

Fernando, Mexico, north to Baffin Bay in Texas. The cattle-ranching region is one the most dangerous in Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turf war between two drug cartels. It is the same area 72 migrants were killed two weeks ago in what it believed to be Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst drug gang massacre to date. Mexican emergency officials urged those living in lowlying coastal areas to move to shelters, and authorities in Tamaulipas state began evacuating 3,500 people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We urge the general population to be on alert for possible floods and mudslides,â&#x20AC;? said Salvador Trevino, director of civil defense for Tamaulipas, where Matamoros is located. Officials also began releasing water from reservoirs to make room for the expected heavy rains, Trevino said. In inland Hidalgo state, authorities said heavy rains caused by the passing storm unleashed landslides that damaged 20 residences, left 120 people homeless and cut off small communities. On the Texas coast, emergency officials readied pumping equipment and distributed sandbags in Cameron County, said John Cavazos, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emergency management coordinator. He said they are also suggesting that people in recreational vehicles in county parks along the coast should move. He officials are worried about flooding because the ground is already saturated from earlier rains. Some areas could get up to 12 inches of rain, he said. No evacuations had been ordered in Texas.

the Inter-American Highway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a section of the Pan-American Highway system â&#x20AC;&#x201D; within in a 48-hour period, Communications Minister Guillermo Castillo said. Byron Pivaral, director of the government agency that oversees road construction, said widespread deforestation made it difficult for the land around the highway to absorb heavy rain. Along the highway, he said, people have cut down trees to plant corn and beans. Vice President Rafael Espada said there would be investigation to determine whether faulty road construction also contributed to the mudslides.

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Searchers on Monday pulled five more bodies from a mud-covered highway where back-to-back landslides buried bus passengers and people trying to save them. The deaths raised the official toll from rain-fueled mudslides in Guatemala to 45. Authorities said 25 people are confirmed dead and at least 15 are believed to be still buried beneath the debris in the village of Nahuala, where a first mudslide buried a bus and other vehicles, then a second one turned would-be rescuers into victims. At least 20 others died over the weekend elsewhere as a tropical depression saturated the ground and set off more than a dozen landslides around the country, according to the national disaster agency. The most recent slide, on a highway in northern Guatemala, killed one person and injured 26 on Sunday. In southern Guatemala, meanwhile, rescue workers used motorboats to reach about 100 families cut off by massive flooding in the town of Santa Ana Mixtan. Some residents sat on their roofs waiting to be evacuated, while others tried to drag bundles of their belongings through neck-deep water. In Nahuala, emergency crews and villagers rushed to the Inter-American highway on Saturday, picks and shovels in hand, after radio reports of the deadly slide â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only to be swamped by the second cascade of rock and earth.

King Mountain will now be part of the uwharrie National Recreation Trail.

Highest point in Uwharries takes place in corridor The LandTrust for Central North Carolina and the U.S. Forest Service have completed a transfer of 165 acres of King Mountain into the Uwharrie National Forest, filling one of the three remaining gaps in the historic Uwharrie National Recreational Trail. King Mountain was a rare conservation opportunity not only for recreation but also as a property with biological significance and natural habitat for wildlife. Being the highest point in the Uwharrie National Forest proclamation boundary, the property is home to the federally endangered Schweinitz’s sunflower, a rare Piedmont monadnock forest with large rock outcroppings and several very high-quality streams noted for their mussel and fish diversity. The property connects three otherwise disconnected parcels already owned by the U.S. Forest Service, bringing it into the forest service management system. The Greater Uwharrie Conservation Partnership, which includes several conservation oriented organizations such as the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and the N.C. Zoological Park, played a part in the process. A $500,000 federal appropriation went toward the purchase of the 165 acres. The LandTrust will continue to own an additional 190 acres until additional funding can be found from either state or federal funding sources to allow The LandTrust to pay off remaining debt associated with this property and place it into public ownership. An event announcing the transfer was held near the King Mountain property (at the “Jumping Off Rock” trailhead of the Uwharrie Trail). Jason Walser, executive director of the LandTrust, praised the many partners who made this project happen. “Fragmentation of land ownership in the Uwharrie National Forest has been a challenge to making it user-friendly,” Walser said. “By strategically filling in some of the gaps that have historically prevented the public from easily accessing land that it already owns, we can make the Uwharrie Trail and Uwharrie Forest experience much richer for the hikers, Boy Scouts, church groups and even soldiers from Fort Bragg who train there regularly. This is truly a great project on many levels.” He noted that this project could not have happened without the support of the Conservation Fund, the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and bipartisan sup-

Fishing with Capt. Gus

Magical places are where the big ones are biting Remember when you couldn’t wait to get out of school and go fishin’? I do! A fishin’ hole is often a magical place where, as kids, we caught fish. It might have been an undercut bank along the edge of a stream or a farm pond out in the country. Regardless, the fishin’ hole was a place to spend time away from school and chores. It was also a place to row a boat, swim, or swing on a rope. The Andy Griffith Show’s theme song, hit the nail right on the head with its lyrics in the first stanza. “Well now, take down your fishin’ pole and meet me at the fishin’ hole. We may not get a bite all day, but don’t you rush away.” Doesn’t that make you want to go fishing? It does me. Not all fishing holes are magical places. Many are honest to goodness places where anglers catch fish on a regular basis. Lake Norman has lots of them. The most popular ones are the two hot holes. One is located at the Marshall Steam Station at the N.C. 150 Bridge and the other, at the McGuire Nuclear Station off N.C. 73 near Huntersville. Over the years, tens of thousands of fish have been taken from these warm-water discharge channels. A fishin’ hole doesn’t have to have widespread notoriety to be a good one. Many holes are kept secret by those who fish them. When someone asks where all the fish were caught, “my secret hole” is often the answer. Many of the best holes for crappie, perch and spotted bass are brush piles, some made by local fishermen. Submerged brush, Christmas trees and other woody debris provide shade and cover, and when positioned properly, they attract lots of fish. Other good fishin’ holes on Lake Norman are stump fields, underwater islands, sandy banks, boat docks, bridge pilings, channel markers and rock piles. It doesn’t take long to realize that a fishin’ hole is not a hole at all but a place where fish are frequently caught or just a place where it’s fun to spend time waiting for a fish to bite. Regardless of how you use a fishin’ hole, it’s a great place to spend a portion of your time. And, in case you don’t have a fishin’ hole, find or make one. ••• It is difficult to keep baits alive during the summer. Baits more tolerable to the heat are goldfish and black saltys. While stripers and bass will hit them, they’re more popular for catching flathead and blue cats. The lake level is about 3 feet below full pond and the water surface temperature is in the 90s. 

Deborah Walker, district ranger for the Uwharrie National Forest, and Mary Joan Pugh, chief of staff and business officer of the zoo, also spoke of the great cooperation and partnerships that were taking place in the region to help expand the Uwharrie Trail and provide access to other parts of the Uwharrie National Forest.

States being asked for ‘right-to-hunt’ amendments FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Lifelong hunter Bill Haycraft of Kentucky sees his treasured outdoors heritage under siege and in need of constitutional protection from animal rights advocates. He’s one of many hunters backing a “right-to-hunt” amendment that’s expected to be on his state’s 2012 ballot. Kentucky is just the latest in a long line of states that have passed or are considering right-to-hunt measures to head off a feared hunting ban. Animal rights activists, however, say it’s all unnecessary. “It’s a solution in search of a problem,” said Michael Markarian, chief operating officer for The Humane Society of the United States. “These measures don’t accomplish anything.” Hunting advocates in at least five states, responding to pressure from outdoors enthusiasts like Haycraft and the gun lobby, are pushing for constitution-

al protections for hunting. The National Rifle Association wants to get the pre-emptive amendment in place quickly, before animal rights groups can persuade a majority of Americans that hunting is bad. Arkansas, Arizona, South Carolina and Tennessee have right-to-hunt referendums on the ballot this year, and Kentucky, inspired by the other states, is poised to follow in 2012. Such constitutional guarantees are already in place in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. All of those states, except Vermont, have adopted the constitutional amendments over the past 15 years. Vermont’s amendment dates to 1777. Haycraft, president of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen, said he learned

to hunt from his father. He, in turn, introduced his own son and later his grandson to the activity, stalking deer and other game. To Haycraft, hunting is a family heritage, dating back generations. He believes it’s threatened by animal rights groups that want to make shooting animals illegal. “They have lots of money,” said Haycraft, president of the League of Kentucky Sportsmen. “They’re highly educated. And if they can swing it with the legislatures, they will do it.” Animals rights groups have pressed for restrictions on hunting in several states, including Kentucky where they tried to stop bear season last year and in Minnesota this year where they pushed to ban dove hunting. The right-to-hunt measures would ensure that hunting could never be outlawed without a statewide vote of the people.

Madison Dotson, daughter of Sharon McCulloh, had a successful ﬁshing adventure in Asheville with her sister, Toni; cousin, Lindsey Bridges; and uncle, Dennis Bridges. The trip was spent with family from Knoxville, Tenn., and also included a stop in Wilmington, all after the tragic death of Patrick Snider, who was McCulloh’s nephew and the girls’ cousin.

Is it safe to swim in Lake Wylie & Lake Norman? BY THEODEN JANES The Charlotte Observer

CHARLOTTE (AP) — There’s really no reason to be afraid to swim in Lake Norman or Lake Wylie. Or is there? On the one hand, the wildlife swimming in our lakes isn’t nearly as wild as the maneating piranhas terrorizing spring breakers on fictional Lake Victoria in “Piranha 3D,” the campy gore-fest that made $10 million at the box office last weekend. On the other, toothy fish do lurk beneath the surface of our lakes. And some locals are afraid to get their feet wet. “I’ll go to about my ankles, but that’s it,” says Stephanie Sawyer, 35, of Matthews, who has been petrified of lake swimming since her childhood. “(It) definitely has to do with the creatures’ in the water. Absolutely.” Lake Norman resident

Whitney Dainko’s fear cropped up more recently. “I was running about a month ago near my house when I noticed an animal lying in the sand trap,” she recalls. “As I got closer, I realized it was a turtle. It was huge probably two feet. When it saw me, it freaked and ran a lot faster than I thought a turtle could move and jumped in the lake. I have to say, I’m not that psyched about swimming in Lake Norman anymore.” ••• It is against state law to own piranhas and several other species of exotic fish. But people occasionally get their hands on them, and in rare cases, release them into the wild because they can no longer keep them. In 2007, state wildlife officials identified a fish caught in the Catawba River as a piranha but later they determined it was a pacu also illegal, but not as menacing-sounding. In

Fall

recent years, two other predatory nonnative fish have turned up: In 2007, a man caught a snakehead in Lake Wylie; another was caught there in 2009. Chris Wood of the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission says that even if a piranha got into a lake, a single one could cause little harm. The problem with snakeheads? “They are indiscriminate fish eaters and can have deleterious effects on native fish” but they aren’t aggressive toward humans. “Sorry,” Wood says, “but (our) fish fauna is pretty benign.” Still, there are a couple of types of local fish that would be scary to run into while swimming. One is a gar, which has an elongated jaw filled with sharp teeth. They can grow 2-3 feet long and weigh 6-7 pounds. The other is a bowfin, which also has sharp teeth and can

grow more than three feet long, weighing as much as 20 pounds. Both might bite anglers as they unhook them, but they’re otherwise docile. Nope, experts say, there’s not a fish around that will attack a human.

“No man-eaters in the lakes,” says Ken Manuel, Duke Power’s head aquatic biologist. “But watch out for alligators. Is something fishy going on? Manuel is kidding, of course.

Ultimately, though, he gets serious: “I don’t wanna frighten anybody. Your bigger concern really should be the boat traffic and the jet skis. That’s a real danger. It’s not what these fish are gonna do to you.”

Broncos edge Virginia Tech

N.C. State’s offense clicking right away BY JOEDY MCCREARY Associated Press

BY RALPH D. RUSSO Associated Press

LANDOVER, Md. — Kellen Moore and Boise St. 33 Boise State Va. Tech 30 look as if they are going to be in the national championship chase for a while. Moore hit Austin Pettis on a 13-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 left and No. 3 Boise State passed what might be its toughest test of the season, beating No. 10 Virginia Tech 33-30 on Monday night. The Broncos (1-0) came to FedEx Field with their best preseason ranking ever and

ran out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, then had to rally themselves to extend their winning streak to 15 games. Tyrod Taylor passed for 186 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 73 yards for the Hokies, who for the fourth straight season took a deflating early season loss. As for the Broncos, even with 11 games left in the season, the debate will start about whether they should become the first team from a conference without an automatic BCS bid to play for a national title if they go undefeated.

Boise state wide receiver austin pettis scores the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter against Virginia tech.

Stewart making progress

RALEIGH — With Russell Wilson slinging long passes and a talented crew of receivers catching them, N.C. State certainly has plenty of big-play potential. The competition is about to get a little tougher, but there’s no doubt the Wolfpack want to keep it going. “You don’t have to go in and be ‘the guy,’ per se, all the time,” receiver Owen Spencer said. “When we shuffle in and out with receivers, we have the same caliber receivers and the same athletic ability as the guys who are starters.” Ahead for N.C. State (1-0) this week is Central Florida

(1-0), the first of nine straight opponents that went to bowl games last season. And with an offense that is WILSON littered with inexperience up front and in the backfield — but plenty of speed and skill at wideout — the Wolfpack figure to rely on their productive pass game until their young rushers find their legs. Wilson had his sixth career four-touchdown game, and surpassed 300 yards passing for the fifth time.

LOCAL GOLF

BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press

HAMPTON, Ga. — One more race to go until the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, and all of a sudden Tony Stewart looks like a serious contender. Only it’s not that sudden. Stewart has been steadily improving over the past couple of months, consistently running in the top 10 and STEWART seeming to find a little bit more speed every week. He figured it was just a matter of time before he finally got back to Victory Lane. That breakthrough came Sunday night, when Stewart claimed his first win of the season with a dominating performance at Atlanta Motor Speedway. “We’ve kind of been silent every weekend, but we’ve been gaining on it,” he said. “It was not a one-week increment where we had a big change. We’ve been taking a lot of little steps the last 10 to 12 races. Nobody’s really noticed it, but we’ve noticed. We have a much better feeling than we did compared to this time last year.” He led more laps (176) in the Emory Healthcare 500 than everyone else combined and pulled away from Carl Edwards on the last restart to win by a comfortable 1.316 seconds. Stewart snapped a streak of 31 races without a win — the second-longest drought of his 12-year Cup career, surpassed only by a 43-race stretch over the 2007-08 seasons. But he’s been one of the most consistent racers in the series since a sluggish start. Ten of the last 12 races have resulted in top-10 finishes, and clearly he hasn’t forgotten how to win, either. Now comes the Chase, in which the 39-year-old Stewart will be seeking his third career championship but first as a car owner. “I don’t know if we have peaked yet,” he said. “I think we’ve got room to be better.” There won’t be all that much drama in next weekend’s race at Richmond, essentially the regular-season finale. Stewart is among 10 drivers who’ve already clinched spots in the 12-man Chase, led by points leader Kevin Harvick, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. Stewart is fourth, followed by Edwards, Jeff Burton, fourtime defending champ Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin.

Ronnie Eidson and Curtis Kyles came up smelling like roses Monday at the Country Club of Salisbury. The fourth-seeded pair executed golf’s equivalent of a slam dunk, capping a long weekend of single-elimination drama with a final-round blowout to capture the prestigious Labor Day Four-Ball Tournament. “I am tickled to death,” Eidson said after he and Kyles rolled to a 6-and-5 victory over 16-year-old rookies Troy Beaver and Alex Nianouris in the championship match. “This was the only one of the major tournaments in the county that I’d never won. Now I can say that I have won them all. Actually, Curtis won it for me.”

 Hornets ranked No. 1 A nice birthday present for Salisbury boys soccer coach Tom Sexton, who will blow out numerous candles on Thursday. Salisbury is the new No. 1 team in 2A, as ranked by the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association. The Hornets moved up from the No. 2 spot when former No. 1 Shelby tied Forestview and lost to 4A A.C. SEXTON Reynolds 2-1 last week. Salisbury is home against Carson (2-4) tonight and plays West Rowan in the postponed Rowan County Tournament championship game at East Rowan on Thursday night. Salisbury’s CCC rival West Davidson also is 6-0. The Hornets are scheduled to play the Green Dragons on Sept. 22 in Tyro.

 Minor leagues The Kannapolis Intimidators finished the season with a 3-2 loss at Lakewood on Labor Day. Justin Collop pitched seven strong innings in the loss. Tyler Saladino, Juan Silverio, Jose Vargas and John Spatola had two hits each, but the Intimidators (65-74) couldn’t put a big inning together. Daniel Wagner (South Rowan) didn’t play Monday. He finished the season at .272, WAGNER with 140 hits, 70 runs, 47 RBIs and 37 steals in 50 attempts.  Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus) had three hits for High Desert on Monday, including his 40th double of the season.  Whit Merrifield (Davie) had three hits, including his third triple, for Burlington on Monday and raised his batting MERRIFIELD average to .253.  Vermont’s Wade Moore (West Rowan, Catawba) finished the season with a .287 batting average and 17 steals in 63 games.

 College volleyball Lenoir-Rhyne freshman Kayla Morrow helped the Bears go 3-1 in their season-opening tournament at Catawba. Morrow had 15 kills in the tournament and led the Bears with three solo blocks and 10 block assists.  Guilford freshman Taylor Whitley (Carson) had 20 assists in Sunday’s 3-1 win MORROW against Averett. Guilford is 4-1, its best start since 1996.

 Local golf The McCanless Couples played a nine-hole match on Sunday with a Texas Scramble format. The team of Beverly and Ty Cobb won with a 38. Shooting 39 and taking second in a scorecard playoff were Gene and Mary Seaford. Tim Earnhardt and Monica Greene finished third. Kyle Leslie won longest putt.

 Strongman contest There will be a Strongman contest at Hurley YMCA on Saturday, Sept. 25, at 11 a.m. Entry fee is $25. Weight classes are 175-under, 175 to 210, 211 to 250, and 251-over. Category winners get $250. Recommended practices for the five contest events — bus pull, Atlas stone lift, tire flip, farmer’s walk and fingal fingers — will be held on Sept. 15, 16, 21 and 23. Participants are coming from states across the South.

 Soccer league The Hurley Y’s 6-on-6 adult coed soccer league starts on Sunday, Sept. 26. The league plays on Sunday afternoons through November. The cost is $120 per team.

 College football Appalachian State quarterback DeAndre Presley was named Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Week.  St. Augustine’s coach Michael Costa was named CIAA Coach of the Week after engineering Saturday’s road win at Catawba. St. Augustine’s also won at Catawba in 2008 and is still the only CIAA team ever to beat Catawba.

 Prep football Asheville A.C. Reynolds administrators reported an ineligible player was used in a 20-14 victory against West Forsyth. That game is now a forfeit victory for West Forsyth (3-0).

CHARLOTTE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; There are so many reasons Andre Neblett shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on an NFL roster. Poor grades in high school left him lightly recruited. Struggling Temple took a chance, but the coaches switched him from linebacker to defensive tackle, a position he had never played and also hated. While he eventually thrived there and helped turn around the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moribund program, he went undrafted because of concerns he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t big enough. He signed with Carolina but appeared to have little chance to stick around as the Panthers prepared to trim 22 players Saturday. Then the cut list came out and on it was veteran Tank Tyler, who some thought would start at defensive tackle. Corvey Irvin, a third-round pick just a year earlier, was waived, too. Neblett? He became only the fourth undrafted rookie to make the team in coach John Foxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine seasons in Carolina. Oh, and he might be the only defensive lineman the Panthers have had who can do a back flip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has been going my way,â&#x20AC;? Neblett said. Neblett spoke Monday at Bank of America Stadium, which serves as a reminder of how far heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come. He was a true freshman here learning a new position in 2006 when Temple lost to Clemson 63-9 on the way to a 1-11 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing you can do to him in training camp that would bother him after what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been through here,â&#x20AC;? Owls coach Al Golden said. Golden talks proudly of how Neblett not only became an elite, if undersized, college defensive tackle, he morphed into a good student and was part of a class that helped Temple to its first bowl game in 30 years last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a kid who was playing fullback in high school, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only really played nose guard these four years,â&#x20AC;? Golden said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten stronger every year. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten smarter in terms of football intelligence. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten tougher every year and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotten in better condition every year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not surprised that he made (the Panthers). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m surprised he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get drafted. What a deal to get him NEBLETT undrafted.â&#x20AC;? Panthers general manager Marty Hurney echoed that sentiment in explaining how the 6-foot, 295-pound Neblett made the final roster after collecting six tackles in the preseason. While undersized, he had attributes the Panthers are keen on these days. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young, speedy and athletic enough to be able to do back flips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time he was in games he made plays,â&#x20AC;? Hurney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time he was in there he made something happen.â&#x20AC;? Yet bad grades at Rahway (N.J.) High School nearly derailed his career before it began. Golden saw potential but angered Neblett when he moved him to the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very happy about it,â&#x20AC;? Neblett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about the position. I thought it was just line up and try to knock the guy as far back as you can. But over the years I learned that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lot more things that go on with the D-line. Being able to have good footwork, good hands, being able to get in that stance and know exactly what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do. Read blocks and things like that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really interested me and now I love it. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough of it.â&#x20AC;? Growing comfortable in Templeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4-3 defense was one of the reasons he was drawn to Carolina, which runs the same scheme. Another reason he chose the Panthers over Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Cincinnati and the New York Giants when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drafted was that his mother, Protronya Dorsey, lives about three hours away in Allendale, S.C. But perhaps the biggest incentive was the opportunity after the Panthers watched three starters on the defensive line leave in the offseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knowing they really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any big names,â&#x20AC;? Neblett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got rid of (Julius) Peppers and I knew I could have an opportunity to come in and make the team.â&#x20AC;?

PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ben Roethlisberger is no longer a Pittsburgh Steelers captain. Dennis Dixon is the new Steelers quarterback, at least for the time being. Roethlisberger, suspended for the first four games of the season, was not chosen a Steelers captain in a vote by his teammates. He has been selected the previous two seasons. Receiver Hines Ward and tight end Heath Miller will be the offensive captains. Dixon was selected over longtime backup Charlie Batch by coach Mike Tomlin to start Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener against Atlanta. Roethlisberger is one of 14 players who begin the NFL season on suspension, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of four players suspended for violating the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal conduct policy. The others suspended for personal conduct are Ravens cornerback Cary Williams (two games), Patriots offensive lineman Quinn Ojinnaka and Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib, one game apiece. JETS NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Darrelle Revis signed his four-year

deal Monday afternoon, apologizing to fans for not getting back sooner and officially making his return after a 36day holdout. Also, the team will re-sign fullback Tony Richardson after cutting him. RAVENS OWINGS MILLS, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Baltimore agreed to terms with T.J. Houshmandzadeh. To make room, the Ravens traded wide receiver Mark Clayton to St. Louis for an undisclosed draft pick.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL/DIGEST

Wozniacki ousts Sharapova Associated Press

Maryland holds off Middies BALTIMORE — Navy dominated the time of possession, outgained Maryland by nearly 200 yards and made 15 more first downs. None of this lessened the enjoyment the Terrapins d e rived from their 17-14 victory Monday. Kenny Tate stopped Ricky Dobbs at the goal line with 34 seconds left, and Maryland stunned their in-state rivals to break a seven-game losing streak that began last October. “Perseverance. That’s all we’ve been preaching all summer,” Terrapins linebacker Alex Wujciak said. “We knew we were going to face adversity in a game like this, we knew there would be plays when they gained a lot of yards. We just had to overcome it.” The Midshipmen (0-1) held the ball for nearly 19 minutes longer than Maryland (1-0), amassed 485 yards and col-

OFFENSE FROM 1C Spencer, who led the nation last year by averaging 25.5 yards per reception, caught a 60-yard pass against Western Carolina. T.J. Graham had two touchdown catches, each covering at least 25 yards. In all, four players caught passes of 20 yards or longer from Wilson in the season-opening 48-7 rout. “It puts you in a comfort zone,” Spencer said. “When

lected 26 first downs in a game influenced by untimely turnovers and huge penalties. Trailing 17-14 with a fourth down at the 1, Navy decided to go for the win. Dobbs took the snap, went to his left and was met by Tate, who would not relent to the momentum Dobbs brought to the line. “We should have kicked the field goal to send it into overtime,” Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. “In hindsight, we should have just kicked the ball.” Coming off a 2-10 season, the Terrapins came in as underdogs against a Navy team that went 10-4 and beat Missouri in the Texas Bowl. But Maryland raced to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter and then held on. The game might have been a rout had Navy not failed to score on four different forays inside the Maryland 20. The Midshipmen didn’t punt until early in the fourth quarter.

WYOMING FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Wyoming football player Ruben Narcisse was killed and three teammates were injured when a pickup drifted off a Colorado highway and crashed Monday, authorities said. Trey Fox, Christian Morgan and J.J. Quinlan were injured and taken to hospitals in Laramie, Wyo., and Loveland, Colo. Fox was driving and apparently fell asleep, investigators said. They said alcohol and drugs aren’t believed to be factors. ALABAMA TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama won’t appeal defensive end Marcell Dareus’s twogame suspension to the NCAA. CINCINNATI CINCINNATI — Vidal Hazelton tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the season opener, costing the Bearcats one of their top receivers.

you feel as though you have to make that big play, you have the confidence in the other players that they can make the same caliber of plays, so you don’t have to.” That’s important because two other key areas of N.C. State’s offense, coach Tom O’Brien said, are “a work in progress.” Of the five linemen who started the opener, only one — guard Andrew Wallace — had ever started a game before. The Wolfpack’s starting left tackle, and protector of Wilson’s blind side, was true

freshman Robert Crisp — a five-star recruit and the jewel of the incoming class in February, but nevertheless, still a freshman. And, neither starting tailback Dean Haynes nor backup Mustafa Greene had ever played in a college game prior to Saturday night. Haynes rushed for 69 yards and Greene added 35 in their debuts. “I guess our offense, as a whole, put them at ease, so they didn’t have to come in to make a huge play right away,” Spencer said.

The 24-year-old center fielder is denying reports, however, that he asked in July to be traded. Pujols says Rasmus needs more time in the majors before he starts complaining.

“Game 1, and that’s what it is,” said Chris Petersen, who improved to 50-4 as coach of Boise State. “We’re just pleased to get out of here with a ‘W.’ ” Moore, the undersized Heisman Trophy contender, threw for 215 yards and three touchdowns. He led a five-play, 56-yard touchdown drive in the final two minutes — aided by a Virginia Tech personal foul penalty. After hitting Pettis on a quick slant for the winner, Moore sprinted to midfield with his hands raised high. When it was over, the Broncos were taking a victory lap, exchanging high-fives with fans who made the long trip. Boise State took the 17-0 lead by taking advantage of a handful of critical Virginia Tech mistakes that set up two TD passes by Moore. But by halftime the Hokies had climbed back into it with Ryan Williams scoring twice to cut the halftime lead to 20-14. On Boise State’s first possession of the second half, Moore fumbled when he cocked to throw and hit his own lineman. Virginia Tech recovered at the Broncos 31 and Williams completed the fifth scoring drive of less than 40 yards in the game with a 1-yard run. Taylor bounded off the field and leaped into a side bump with a teammate. Virginia Tech, after a nearly burying itself in the first quarter, had its first lead at 21-20. Virginia Tech had a chance to run out the clock late but couldn’t do it. Taylor threw an incomplete pass on third down that stopped the clock and gave Boise State extra time. “When it’s all said and done, we were one first down from winning that football game,” Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer said.

BASEBALL ST. LOUIS — A season that is slipping away for the St. Louis Cardinals has turned personal, with star slugger Albert Pujols criticizing young outfielder Colby Rasmus. Rasmus has admitted he wasn’t always happy while playing for the Cardinals as a rookie last year and this season.

GOLF NORTON, Mass. — Charley Hoffman’s final stroke on a Labor Day masterpiece was his 11th birdie, more than enough to win the Deutsche Bank Championship. The question is whether it was enough to make him a last-minute pick for the Ryder Cup. “Hopefully, I’m on the real short list,” he said. Hoffman ran off four straight birdies early to erase a four-shot deficit, seized control by holing a bunker shot on the 13th and closed with a 9-under 62 on the TPC Boston for a five-shot victory over Geoff Ogilvy, Jason Day and Luke Donald. Tiger Woods had three rounds in the 60s for the first time this year. He closed with a 69 to tie for 11th and kept his No. 1 ranking when Phil Mickelson imploded again. Mickelson needed only to finish fourth to become No. 1 for the first time in his career. Instead, he opened the back nine with a triple bogey, made a double bogey on the 17th and shot 76 to finish 15 shots behind in a tie for 25th.

NEW YORK — Three-time major champion Maria Sharapova lost to top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 6-4 on Monday in the fourth round of the U.S. Open. Sharapova hurt herself with nine doublefaults and a total of 36 unforced errors. Wozniacki has an 18-1 record since Wimbledon. “I’ve improved a lot, not only physically, but also I believe in myself more,” she said. Third-seeded Novak Djokovic reached the men’s quarterfinals by outclassing No. 19 Mardy Fish 6-3, 6-4, 6-1. Fish’s exit leaves one U.S. man in the tournament, No. 20 Sam Querrey, who is in fourthround action today against No. 25 Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland. Djokovic next faces No. 17 Gael Monfils, a 6-4, 7-5, 7-5 winner over Richard Gasquet. Another quarterfinal will pit No. 5 Robin Soderling against No. 2 Roger Federer, who won 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 against No. 13 Jurgen Melzer.

Alex Nianouris keeps his head down during his approach shot to the green at No. 4.

FINAL FROM 1C Kyles refused to take full credit for the feat. “Ronnie’s as good a partner as there is,” he said while clutching the championship trophy. “With him, you always feel like you have a chance. Usually if I help him at all, we’re gonna be tough to beat.” It was an impressive joint effort if ever there was one. Eidson and Kyles — first-time winners who barely survived a semifinal scare earlier in the day — claimed the first five holes and never looked back. They putted only 14 times to finish 7-under par over 13 holes, sank five birdies and received a huge lift when Eidson banked home a 40-yard chip shot for an eagle on No. 3. “Right then, you had the feeling it was their day,” said Nianouris, Beaver’s 11thgrade classmate at Salisbury High School. “We really weren’t playing that bad, but they were on fire.” Not in the semifnals. Eidson and Kyles needed 19 holes to shake off 16th-seeded Chris Owen and Ken Clarke in a dehydrating, 41⁄2-hour win. Kyles’ birdie on No. 1 decided the match. Beaver and Nianouris, meanwhile, quickly disposed of Mallory McDaniel and Jim Christy. They reached the clubhouse some two hours ahead of their final-round opponents, earning a 7-and-6 decision. Included were birdies by Beaver on the sec-

ond, seventh, 10th, 11th and 12th holes. “It was great playing this morning,” Beaver said. “The weather was perfect. We were really comfortable out there, and we were making all of our putts.” The final provided a rude awakening for the young duo, beginning on the first hole. Nianouris’ tee shot landed on the bank of a small creek before Kyles drained a 12-foot birdie. “In all honesty, No. 1 has been a nemesis for us,” said Eidson, whose approach sailed wide right, caught some branches and settled close to the tree line. “I hit it awful, but Curtis has birdied that one just about every time we’ve played it.” “We had each other’s backs today,” Kyles explained. “If I was out of a hole, he’d par or birdie. If he was out, I’d make something good happen. Together we put up some good numbers.” They won hole No. 2 with a par and took No. 3 when Eidson made the shot of the tournament — pooching the ball uphill and out of a rough patch. “I had the best lie in the rough that I’ve had this whole tournament,” Eidson said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better lie. I couldn’t have gone over there and moved it with my hand and gotten it any better. I figured I could get it close, but I didn’t think I’d knock it in. Guess I got enough of the ball to spin it.” It was a sign of things to come. The lead ballooned to 5-up with two more birdies. “We felt like we had to start all over,” Nianouris said. “No, it wasn’t over, it was

still early. But we needed to start putting the ball on the green.” The juniors won their only hole of the match on No. 7, where Nianouris’ 15-foot putt for birdie trickled into the cup. But by the time Eidson and Kyles won the 10th and 11th holes, the title was all but decided. “We’ve been on the other end of that,” Kyles said. “You get 3-down after three, then four and five, and it’s tough to climb back into it.” Both Beaver and Nianouris placed their approach shots on the green at No. 12, but it went for naught when Eidson putted to save par. Facing dormie on No. 13, Beaver’s match-ending, 3-foot tap for birdie rimmed the cup and circled harmlessly away. “You’ve got to hand it to them,” Nianouris said. “They’re both magnificent players, and they made a great team.” They’re a team that twice had reached the final, most recently in 2006, only to come away without the hardware. “We knew that,” Eidson said afterward. “So today we played aggressive. We were going for everything, not even thinking about playing it safe. That playing safe sometimes gets you in trouble.” 

NOTES: Roy Dixon and Glenn Dixon — who had a tourney-record 62 in qualifying — won the championship flight consolation final, downing Dru Davis and Derick Lipe by a 5-and-4 margin. ... In the seniors championship flight final, Eric Norris and Charlie Andrews won 3 & 2 against Jack Seybold and Summie Carter.

Medical woes plague young reader Dear Dr. Gott: Since childhood, I have been suffering with tonsillitis, chronic colds and allergies — both seasonal and medication-induced. At the age of 24, I was diagnosed with discoid lupus; at the age of 30, with fibromyalgia, pleurisy, kidney stones/infection, vertigo, depression and anxiety. My ANA test for three years has come back normal, but I continue to get lesions, my hair falls out, and I get sick easily. I have DR. PETER been to two GOTT rheumatologists. Both say I do not have SLE, but my family doctor feels I do. What do you think? I was also told that because I only have discoid lupus, this would not cause any health problems other than with my skin and hair. So why do I have it in my nose and inside both ears? I’m now 33, my bones are brittle, and I have osteoarthritis in my hands and fingers. Help!

Former WWE wrestler faces drug, burglary charge THONOTOSASSA, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say former WWE wrestler Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart has been arrested on drug charges in Florida. A Hillsborough County Sheriff’s arrest report says the 55-year-old was arrested Sunday. The report says Nei-

Dear Reader: Whew, where to start? Some children have impaired immune systems, making them subject to numerous disorders. My guess is that you were unfortunate enough to fall into that category. There are a number of forms of lupus, which is an autoimmune disease. Lupus can affect joints, skin, kidneys, brain, heart, lungs and other parts of the body. Common symptoms include skin rash, kidney problems, arthritis and unexplained fever. Discoid lupus is a chronic skin disorder that shows as a raised red rash that ordinarily appears on the face and scalp but can appear in other areas of the body, including the nose and ears. The lesions may last for days or years and can recur. Some people diagnosed with discoid lupus may develop systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) at a later date. Because arthritis is a common complaint, it’s not at all surprising that you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic pain in muscles and ligaments. Pleurisy is swelling of the lung linings that causes pain and breathlessness during in-

halation and exhalation. Causes include acute viral infections, such as influenza, and can be the result of autoimmune disorders, such as lupus. Kidney stones and related infections have numerous causes, including dehydration, obesity, genetic factors and a diet high in protein/sugar/sodium. Vertigo can be caused by an inner-ear disorder, migraine headache, acoustic neuroma and other causes. Depression and anxiety can be caused by lupus, fibromyalgia, kidney stones and vertigo. You have a lot on your plate, and it has obviously resulted in a lot of stress. Osteoarthritis, a breakdown of cartilage, causes pain and stiffness of affected joints. The condition is commonly associated with the aging process, but at 33, you are far from old. Treatment is geared toward controlling pain through medication, rest, exercise and protection of the affected joint(s). Because so many of your symptoms involve pain, I’m inclined to suggest that you be referred to a pain clinic for control or request a referral to a larger diagnostic center, such

as the Mayo Clinic. You will learn methods for reducing the level of pain you presently experience that may include water aerobics and yoga. Appropriate medication might be ordered. Once you get that aspect under control, the anxiety and stress levels you are under may be reduced. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Fibromyalgia.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online. His website is www.AskDrGottMD .com.

dhart was yelling outside a gas station yelling and was seen swallowing several pills. The report says he had Oxycontin pills and methadone that were prescribed to someone else. The sheriff’s office says the person whose name was on the pills had reported that her medication was stolen from her home. The Tampa Tribune reports that Neidhart is being held on charges of

possession and trafficking in a controlled substance and burglary.

Tuesday, Sept. 7 Strong leadership qualities are likely to emerge from your personality when you find yourself involved with a floundering group in the year ahead. Once you take charge, the job you do will forevermore brand you a leader. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — For good or ill, your words are likely to hold more weight than usual, and will make a lasting impression. Thus, you’ll want to choose your words carefully when something important is at stake. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — We all can learn much from observing the way a successful person handles things, so watch and listen. If you’re diligent, you’re likely to spot something brilliant that you can do. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Sound out an idea or concept you have with friends you trust and who could help you. Just talking about it could open up a whole new array of positive thinking. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Chances are that you won’t deliberately be seeking the spotlight, but it could be focused on you anyway. If you’re aware of this, don’t put on any airs, just relax and be yourself. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even though your curiosity is likely to be in high gear, it is apt to be focused only on items and facts you consider to be helpful. Continue to search out what could be functional. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be alert for something of a profitable nature that might be helpful to you in some manner, especially if it is something that could lead to a second source of earnings. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — Because of your natural ability to blend your opinions and views to those of people you’re speaking to, you’ll make a charming addition to any gathering. Get out and mingle! Aries (March 21-April 19) — Serious thought and energy applied to new projects are likely to pay off and will prove to be quite profitable. If you don’t give up on your ideas, you should be able to achieve what’s in your head. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — It won’t be wasteful to make a bit of time for some kind of brief social outlet you find to be calming and satisfying.

The break was bad and timing wrong BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Miyamoto Musashi, a famous samurai who died around age 60 in 1645, said, “There is timing in the whole life of a warrior, in his thriving and declining, in his harmony and discord. Similarly, there is timing in the way of the merchant, in the rise and fall of capital. All things entail rising and falling timing.” That is so true at the bridge table. Contracts often require careful timing — the sequence in which the tricks are played to gain the needed winners. In today’s deal, West leads the spade queen against four spades. Which 10 tricks should declarer take, and in what order? The original declarer anticipated winning four spades, three hearts, one diamond, one club and one diamond ruff in the dummy. So, he won the first trick with dummy’s spade king and ducked a diamond. West persisted with a second trump. South won, cashed his diamond ace, ruffed a diamond on the board, played a heart to his ace, and led another heart. Disaster! West ruffed, cashed his diamond king, and shifted to a club. With no dummy entry left, declarer went down one. Yes, South was unlucky that the hearts broke 5-1. But suppose, at trick four,

instead of cashing the diamond ace and then taking his diamond ruff, South cashes the heart ace and plays another heart? If West ruffs, South wins an overtrick because he still has a dummy entry: his diamond ruff. And if West discards, declarer wins in the dummy and plays the last top heart, pitching his club loser. The diamond ruff, declarer’s 10th trick, comes a moment later.

SALISBURY POST

8C • TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2010

STEWART FROM 1C Still looking to lock up spots at Richmond are No. 11 Greg Biffle and No. 12 Clint Bowyer, each of whom would only fall out with an unprecedented collapse. Bowyer has a 117-point lead on No. 13 Ryan Newman and merely needs to finish 28th at Richmond to clinch his spot. Sentimental favorite Mark Martin, trying to win his first Cup championship at age 51, slipped a spot in the standings and is now 15th — a daunting 147 points out of the playoff. Stewart was out front when the green came back out with 19 laps to go, and he zoomed off the line to beat Edwards into the first corner. From there, the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing Chevy steadily pulled away for his first victory since Oct. 4, 2009, at Kansas. Johnson was third, followed by Burton and Kyle Busch. “I didn’t hit a restart all night until right there at the end,” Stewart said. “I’ve nev-

NACo Prescription Discount Card: Easy, Valuable and Free (NewsUSA) - When Samantha White's health insurance premiums became too high, she, like many Americans in these tough times, sacrificed her health coverage. Unfortunately, White, a resident of a rural North Carolina county, also fell ill. White's sister, Nancy Bostick stepped in to help her sister with food, bills and medications. But Bostick's salary was not enough to cover all of White's bills, so Bostick started seeking programs that could alleviate costs. "We were lucky enough to get on a lot of charity programs with the hospitals and doctor offices," says Bostick. "Even with that, we still paid about $1,000 per month for her prescriptions."

dous savings," Bostick said. "I firmly support the card and urge anyone who needs it to get the card." The NACo Prescription Discount Card Program, administered through its partner CVS Caremark, is a free member benefit program for counties who belong to NACo, the only national organization that represents the interests of county governments in the United States. The NACo Prescription Discount Card does not have an application process or attach fees to the card's use. County residents do not have to meet income or age requirements to use the program. The cards save an average of 22 percent off the full retail cost of prescription medications and can be used any time a prescription is not covered by insurance.

Because none of White's medications was available in generic formulations, the sisters needed to find discounts on expensive, brand-name prescriptions. Bostick, who works for Scotland County, N.C., eventually learned of a free prescription discount card program, the National Association of Counties (NACo) Prescription Discount Card Program. She immediately picked up a card for her sister.

"My sister had a good job but not one with health insurance benefits," said Bostick. "All her money went to prescriptions and health premiums. This card is one of the things that I am grateful that came along."

"I cannot tell you how much money we saved using the NACo Prescription Discount Card, but it was tremen-

A national network of more than 60,000 retail pharmacies honor the card.

Cook what you love, only healthier (ARA) - With obesity rates on the rise, there is no better time than now for families to build healthier habits. This includes getting more exercise and eating healthier. Nutritionists recommend eating more whole grains, lean proteins and increasing the amount of vegetables and fruit in their daily diets. While selecting the right foods is the first step, how they are prepared is equally as important. Cooking healthfully includes choosing the right ingredients as well as implementing techniques such as baking, grilling, broiling, roasting and stir frying. Moms across the country have discovered a new way to cook what they love only healthier with the new George Foreman Evolve Grill. With a large variety of meal options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack times in between, the Evolve Grill paves a time-saving and healthy path to meal preparation and eating right without sacrificing good taste. The grill comes with four plates to grill, bake and even make mini-burgers. Customize the grill by purchasing additional plates for making waffles, omelets, muffins and more, all in one convenient appliance. Moms love that that Evolve Grill not only helps them cook more healthfully, but also it is easy to clean, use and store as well.

What makes the Evolve Grill cook foods more healthfully is its design. It has a patented slope that helps the grease drip out, George Touch non-stick coating so the food doesn't stick to the grill and a grease tray that catches the fat as it slides out of the grill and away from food. The Evolve Grill handles the basics of healthier cooking, making it easier for mom to whip up meals everyone will love. Get creative with mealtime by presenting healthy choices for the family. Get kids excited about eating lean proteins and more veggies by serving favorites such as grilled chicken in a different yet still nutritious way. Try this recipe for Chicken, Chili and Lime Lettuce Wraps that features grilled chicken, leafy greens and heart-healthy almonds. Kids will find it fun to eat with their hands and mom will love the nutrition and great taste it brings her and her family.

The season is changing and so will our driving habits. Summer driving habits and skills are different in the winter than in the summer. The days are shorter, and we may be driving when it is dark. The weather and roads are colder and this affects our tires. The condition of the tires may be the difference in a safe trip and a disastrous trip. Worn or bald tires increase your stopping distance on wet surfaces, and sand. Worn and bald tire lesson overall control of the vehicle. Unbalanced tires and low air pressure can cause tire tread wear. Unbalanced tires can cause the steering wheel to shake. Hitting potholes can cause an unbalanced tire. Low tire air pressure creates stress and heat that could lead to tire failure, and cuts down on gas mileage, wastes fuel, and vehicle control. Worn tread or underinflation are causes of hydroplaning. Tires can lose one pound per month under normal conditions, and up to two pounds per month in the winter months. A tire underinflated 10 pounds looks the same as a properly inflated tire. A vehicle with 10 pound underinflated tires creates an overload on the tires equivalent to having an additional eight 150 pound people in the car. Tires must be replaced when tire tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch. This can be checked with a tire gage or by using a penny by placing it in the deeper groove in the tire. If you see all of the Lincoln head, you need new tires. Tires have build-in tread wear indicators or “wear bars”. These wear bars look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread when the tread is worn down to 2/32 of an inch. When you see the wear bars, replace the tire. Worn tires take longer to stop. Let’s say that it takes 80 feet to stop a vehicle with new tires. This is about four car lengths. Tires ¼ worn take 25% more distance to stop or 100 feet. This is about

five car lengths. Tires ½ worn take 50% more distance or 120 feet. This is about six car lengths. Tires ¾ worn take 75% more distance or 140 feet. This is about seven car lengths. Tires worn to the wear bar take twice the distance as new tires or eight car lengths. As we age, our reaction time slows about one second to go from the accelerator to the brake. This is about another car length to add to the stopping distance. There are a couple things you can do to shorten the stopping time. One is to do foot and leg exercises to increase the speed the body moves. Another is to shorten the time cycle to replace your tires. You may want to replace the tires when they are only ½ worn. Other things are to keep the proper pressure in the tires. Check them monthly with a gage when they are cold and before taking a trip. Heated tires give incorrect readings. Some Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) only warn you when the tire is 25% underinflated. TPMS units are not a replacement for monthly checks with a gage. Rotate the tires as recommended in your owner’s manual, usually about every 5,000 miles. This is usually the time period you change the oil. If the tires show uneven tread wear, this may be an indication the wheels have become misaligned. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails, stones, or other objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire. Remember to check the spare tire. Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure. It is that time of year again for school to start. Be extra careful when driving in neighborhoods and close to the schools. The kids may be excited and not paying attention when they cross the roads. Be watchful of school buses. Remember, school buses only travel 45 miles per hour per the North Carolina Drivers Handbook. When a school bus is stopping and the yellow flashing warning lights turn to a flashing red light, traffic must stop in both CONTINUED

WHY WORRY? Matthew 6:33-34: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” When one lives with disability or other health problems, worry can cause fear, anger, and/or doubt. Questions will present themselves, decisions will have to be made, and the curiosity of others will need to be assuaged. I’ve lost count of the times that various tests were performed to rule out possible conditions. We are told in Second Timothy that God did not give us a spirit of timidity (fear), but a spirit of love and self-discipline. At times like these, we may become anxious as we wait for the results, especially if the timing conflicts with other plans we had. Summer is my favorite season! Several times I have lost portions of my outdoor time to hospital stays. This last time was only six days so that wasn’t too bad. But when admitted to the hospital unexpectedly, it seems I spent a lot of time doubting. Did I turn out the lights at home or lock the door? Did I tell anyone where I was going or when I would be back? Is this going to be a waste of my summertime? Will I get any answers? Did I leave the van windows open? Oh no, I did! (Well, thank God, that was taken care of by a security guard.) Time seemed to stand still. How many times does one have to answer the same questions? I was finally admitted to a room at 10:00 p.m., but even though tests results were coming back positive, I needed answers. Since 1989 I have been taking dilantin and now they have discovered that it was a contributing factor to my body developing osteoporosis. Trials were underway to find a better medicine without side effects. And now I had new pain and more questions about the cause. I believe that we know our own bodies better than even doctors do at times. I had spent several months feeling that the multiple sclerosis was getting worse and by the following day, I knew an attack was underway. In spite of the bone loss, my doctor and I agreed to a fiveday round of steroids intravenously. After the fourth round of solumedrol, the change was once again amazing to the nurses and the doctor. One more night and one more round and I would be released. Being able to move my legs bought back memories of 2002 when I could not wiggle my toes or stand at all. Unfortunately, I got another urinary tract infection a week after I left the hospital and spasms continue to cause pain. But I refuse to worry and continue to praise God for taking care of me; I know He will lead me and guide me when and where He wants me to go tomorrow!

Comfort Keepers, a local in-home care provider, has designated September as "Supplies For Seniors" Month and will be collecting donations of senior-related supplies throughout the month and distributing them to needy seniors through arrangements with senior services, social services, and other community organizations. Comfort Keepers owner, Lori Eberly, says that she came up with the "Supplies for Seniors" campaign because her offices often get calls from seniors and their loved ones who have leftover supplies such as adult protective briefs, pull sheets, nutritional shakes, latex gloves, equipment such as walkers and shower chairs, and various other supplies that they no longer need and they want to donate the items to someone else who can use the items. "The most common items that people generally want to donate are unused incontinence supplies such as adult protective briefs," says Eberly, "and that is also the primary item that less fortunate seniors are seeking assistance obtaining. I wanted to be able to coordinate a drive in which those who no longer need these items can donate them to seniors who are less fortunate that would benefit from receiving these items and supplies."

Think you might be Upcoming Events gluten intolerant? Powles Funeral Home How to know and what to do about it (ARA) - Does the thought of a big bowl of pasta fill you with dread? Not because of the calories, but because of the digestive discomfort you might experience after eating it? If so, you may be one of the millions of Americans who unknowingly live with gluten intolerance. Simply put, gluten intolerance is the body's inability to digest a certain type of protein commonly found in products made from wheat, rye and barley, such as pasta, cereal and bread. Mild gluten intolerance can cause minor to severe symptoms, ranging from mild intestinal discomfort to fatigue, weight gain and even depression. Severe gluten intolerance is called Celiac disease, and if left untreated can cause debilitating problems and perhaps worse. Because people with Celiac disease cannot digest gluten, the protein sits in the intestines, often triggering an immune system reaction that damages the lining of the small intestine.

tinal distress. Only a doctor can diagnose gluten intolerance for certain, so consult your healthcare provider if you suspect you have a problem. And changing your diet can help alleviate symptoms.

"Following a gluten-free diet will stop symptoms, heal existing intestinal damage and prevent further damage for most people with (Celiac disease)," the NIH reports. "Improvements usually begin within days of eliminating gluten." One way to rid your diet of gluten is to give up anything made with grains that contain it. That hasn't always been so easy to do, however, because gluten is present in many processed foods, including some that may surprise you, such as cold cuts, salad dressings, flavored potato chips and even beer, WebMD says. Recently, a new dietary alternative has come on the scene gluten-free foods such as new English muffins. Made with organic brown rice, Food for Life Bakery's Gluten Free English Muffins are specifically developed without the protein that causes intolerance symptoms, enabling those with gluten intolerance to enjoy some traditional breakfast foods.
