City, county officials split on ABC board size Commissioners want to increase board ... BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed Tuesday to seek input from the county’s municipalities about increasing the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board membership from three to five. Under the proposed resolution, two members would be appointed by Rowan County, one each by Sal-
isbury and Kannapolis, and one on a rotating basis by the county’s eight towns in the following order: China Grove, Cleveland, East Spencer, Faith, Granite Quarry, Landis, Rockwell and Spencer. Commissioner Chad Mitchell brought the ordinance before the board and made a motion to get the municipalities’ opinions on it. “I’m not asking for the board to pass this at the moment,” Mitchell said. “All I’m really asking is that
the chairman be given permission to present it to the municipalities and see how they feel about it.” He said he had heard some concerns from the towns about the 24year representation cycle for their shared seat. They could decide to shorten the three-year term for that seat, or they could request other changes to the ordinance, Mitchell said.

... while city likes current size BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com
In dueling resolutions Tuesday, Salisbury City Council and the Rowan County Board of Commissioners considered opposite requests regarding the Rowan-Kannapolis ABC Board. City Council voted to ask state legislators to preserve the city’s newfound equal voice on the ABC board. The General Assembly in July gave Salisbury and Kannapolis each a seat
on the board. The seats were previously appointed by Rowan County. But just down the street Tuesday, commissioners were considering a resolution that would return at least two appointments to the county by expanding the ABC board from three to five members. (See related story.) A similar effort failed two months ago.

Some of the first vendors to gain access to the fire scene at the Webb Road Flea Market were the owners of the Pet Place.
Vendors wait to get access to what’s left of flea market BY SHELLEY SMITH ssmith@salisburypost.com
Hundreds of vendors at the Webb Road Flea Market will never know exactly what caused the fire that destroyed their livelihoods Friday, but fire investigators have ruled out arson. The flea market is to open this Saturday and Sunday as an open-air market, and plans to rebuild are already in the works. Vendors gathered at the south entrance to the flea market Tuesday afternoon, hanging around the chain-link fence, waiting to be let in and sift through what’s left of their businesses. Once allowed inside in small groups, hours after the time they were initially told they would be allowed inside, they had to sign an insurance waiver because of the unsafe conditions behind the gates. David and Angela Lore, owners of The Pet Place, didn’t get their animals out until Tuesday afternoon, and feared some had not survived. The Lores were the first of the vendors to be allowed in to evaluate what property — if any — survived the fire. Verna Roehm, owner of the 10-year-old leather shop — Verna’s Leather — said she lost around $60,000 worth of merchandise. “It took a long time to build up,” Verna said. “And you build all these relationships with these people.” Verna was laid off by Rhodes Furniture years ago and lost her retirement. The leather shop was a fresh start, and also took everything she had. “This was my nest egg,” she said. “It’s just too hard. I

And so many of these folks were good people in there.” Verna was one of three leather dealers in the Webb Road Flea Market, and also had a seamstress, Belinda Schulz. Schulz said that because Labor Day weekend was the biggest for sales, they stocked an extra $8,000 in leather goods into their booths last Monday before the fire hit. Glenn and Betty Sue Lowder, of Lowder’s and Swanner’s Crafts, have been at Webb Road Flea Market since it opened. “This is our income,” Betty Sue said. “My main concern was what are we gonna do,” Glenn said when he found out about the fire. “We have not seen the TV. yet since it burned down — it’s devastating. We lost a lot, but there are people around us who lost more.” Glenn said the other vendors were more than just neighbors Today’s forecast 93º/65º P.M. t-storm in spots
— they were family. “Whether you’re here a day, a week or a month, you’re family,” he said. And Terry Childers, who is also a 25-year veteran business owner in the flea market, knows exactly how important the families are. Childers, who owns Terry’s Tees, has used the Webb Road Flea Market as the main source of income for his family since the day the flea market opened. As he looked through the fence Tuesday at the ashes and rubble, he shook his head and said, “This really looks bad,” but added, “We’ll always be here.” “Plenty of times I’ve wanted to give up, but plenty of times it’s been really good,” he said. “We’ve made a decent living, but it’s all the living we have. Everything that I ate, I drove, I lived — my whole life for the past 25 years came off of this property.” Terry’s daughter, Brittany, who is now 20, spent the past

nine years helping her father help their family. When Brittany was in sixth grade, her mom had brain surgery. Brittany said her father went through a bad divorce and the death of her brother. “My dad’s been through a lot, and he needs my help,” she said. Brittany said her father and stepmother got married just before the flea market opened in 1985. And she started helping out when she was 11 years old. “They started out with a little bit of stuff and a little bit of money,” she said. “This place made it possible to buy 10 acres of land, their house, and it made it possible for me to buy a car and help out more when I turned 16.” Brittany said the main thing she loved about the flea market was the bonds vendors formed with others. She said vendors got together and gave her family $1,000 to help with her brother’s funeral, and also helped her with college tuition when she graduated from high school. “Of all of the people I’ve encountered all my life, these people would be here for you,” she said. “A lot of people lost a lot in this. I have the memories, but it’s never going to be the same.” Terry agrees with his daughter, and was hoping to find some closure by going through the rubble Tuesday. “I want to go in there and just see if there’s anything,” Terry said. “I know there’s not ... “When you lose something like that — 25 years of your life — it’s just like my son, he died.

People are still living in houses that city officials described as deplorable and appalling after a May inspection. Code Services Manager Chris Branham said conditions inside four houses in the 300 block of East 11th Street are the worst he has seen in Salisbury. The homes, which he entered after obtaining an administrative warrant, were “alarming” and “uninhabitable,” Branham told City Council Tuesday. Two of the four homes are occupied, and all are owned by John King, who told the Post he has cleaned them up since the inspection. In May, the occupied homes had mold growing inside, exposed wiring, a collapsing ceiling, a hole in the floor, inadequate plumbing and other violations of minimum housing standards, Branham said. Tenants in one home were using a bucket for a bathroom, he said. Branham inspected the houses May 28. Three months later, on Aug. 31, he sent a letter to King, notifying him of the violations and giving him 30 days to make repairs or submit a written plan. The houses did not meet criteria to begin condemnation proceedings, Branham said.

Police seek Kannapolis man in double shooting KANNAPOLIS — Authorities continue searching for a Kannapolis man charged in a double shooting Monday. Donald M.

Police have charged Brown in the Monday afternoon shootings of Shannon D. Miller of 1713 HamBROWN mock Lane, Kannapolis, and Derrick A. Miller of 411 Spring St., Concord, in the parking lot at the Oakcrest Apartments on Hammock Lane. The Millers are related and police say Brown shot them multiple times after arguing with them.

There was nothing immediately life-threatening in the homes, he said, although the water probably was not safe for drinking or bathing based on appearance. He said he did not call the Rowan County Department of Social Services because there was no evidence of children in the homes, such as toys. “Nothing was pink or blue,” he said. He said he asked one young woman if she had children living in the house, and she answered no. He did not call the Rowan County Health Department because the city enforces minimum housing standards. When people complain to the health department about inadequate housing, the health department calls him, Branham said. He wanted to give the owner a chance to fix the problems, he said. When asked by council members if he had given tenants any contact information for Rowan Helping Ministries, social services or other sources of assistance, Branham said he hadn’t yet but would.

ing for public housing through the Salisbury Housing Authority because he didn’t want to overwhelm them, but would provide the information later. “I don’t know a lot about public housing,” he said. Branham said he advised tenants they were living in uninhabitable conditions in hopes that it “might trigger their own momentum” to move. Several tenants were excited to show him the deplorable conditions, while other were angry at his presence, Branham said. The inspection prompted a public demonstration last month against “historic gentrification initiatives” by Citizens for Justice, a group led by King’s brother, Michael Lee King, and John Edward Jones. Since Branham’s May inspection revealed conditions inside the homes, “we’ve moved just as quickly as we can,” City Manager Dave Treme said. “It’s much worse than we would have ever expected from the outside.” Treme also said city officials “may have been slower than we needed to be,” but the city is walking a fine line because the properties are private. “Everybody is being very deliberate,” he said. The city has been threatened with legal action and is
carefully following procedures, he said. Treme said he has repeatedly consulted with City Attorney Rivers Lawther, contributing to the delay. Council member Pete Kennedy said someone needs to speak with tenants about other housing options. “No one should be living in that type of condition in our city,” he said. They need to be educated, he said. “We owe those tenants something,” he said. Mayor Susan Kluttz said she wasn’t sure if the city could interfere in a private contract between a property owner and a tenant. Treme told the Post he would consult with Lawther to better understand the extent to which the city could intervene.

Commissioners debate Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium lease BY KARISSA MINN kminn@salisburypost.com
The county will move forward with the creation of an amended lease agreement for Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium, commissioners decided Tuesday. County Manager Gary Page presented a set of proposed terms for an amended lease at the Rowan County Board of Commissioners’ Aug. 16 meeting. He said the terms were a result of several meetings with Smith Family Baseball and Kannapolis officials over the past year. Smith Family Baseball’s existing lease is set to expire Sept. 30, and the team owners have an option to renew for another five years. At Tuesday’s board meeting, Page said
the county could keep the current lease, but the team owners would likely continue to lose money, and the county would soon end up with no baseball team and an empty stadium in need of repairs. The county also could sell the stadium, he said, but in this economy it wouldn’t get much back on its $5.1 million investment. An amended lease could cap the county’s investment, solve the ownership issue with Kannapolis and allow Smith Family Baseball to be profitable, Page said. “You have the chance to basically put this to rest,” he said. “It’s been a political football for 15 years.” County Attorney Jay Dees will draw up a lease that meets both the county’s and the team owners’ approval, he said, and it will

GRANITE QUARRY — Mark J. Cook took the oath of office Tuesday as the new police chief for the Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Authority. Granite Quarry Mayor Mary Ponds administered the oath at Tuesday’s monthly meeting of the Board of Aldermen. The Police Authority officially chose Cook as the new chief Aug. 19. Cook’s wife, Tania, pinned the chief’s badge on her husband. Cook replaces longtime Police Chief COOK Clyde Adams Jr., who served the town for almost 20 years. Adams retired in June. Today, the Granite Quarry-Faith Joint Police Authority has six full-time and 12 part-time officers and seven cars. About 3,700 people live in the authority’s coverage area. Cook had been employed with the Iredell County Sheriff’s Department since February 2009. Ponds told Cook he has a great team of officers to work with, and she praised Sgt.

Cleveland board approves contract for pump station BY SARAH CAMPBELL
Another cell tower victim of copper thieves Thieves stripped $12,000 worth of copper wiring from a cell phone tower owned by SBA Towers sometime over the last couple of weeks, authorities said. The copper belonged to three networks — TMobile, Nextel and AT&T. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office said the thieves broke the padlock to the T-Mobile gate on Pebble Drive in northwestern Rowan and took the ground wires from each tenant. The cost to replace the wire is estimated at $10,000 to $15,000. The site manager, Robert Sellers, reported the larceny Sept. 2.

CLEVELAND — Members of the Cleveland Town Board agree it’s time to get the ball rolling to replace the Amity Hill Road pump station. Commissioners approved a more than $100,000 contract for engineering services with Greensboro-based Withers & Ravenel, Inc., during their meeting Tuesday. The station will serve the Amity Hill Road drainage basin as far west as Hall Road. The project will consist of a 350-gallons-per-minute pump station, standby generator, about 2,000 feet of gravity sewer and about 3,800 feet of discharge
pipeline for the pumping station, with a projected cost of between $600,000 and $700,000. “We’re going to have to replace this area,” Commissioner Pat Phifer said. “We’re either going to have to spend the money to fix it for years to come or we’re going to have to put a patch on it. “The cost isn’t going to shrink.” Phifer confirmed with town clerk Cathy Payne that the town currently has enough money in its water and sewer fund to pay for the project. “Money is available if we want to go ahead and start,” he said. Michael Koser of Withers & Ravenel was on hand Tuesday to answer questions and present the contract. He said the town can also opt to seek nonconventional fi-
nancing. “Unfortunately, you all are not eligible for really any grant money because of economic capability,” he said. The town is eligible to apply for financing through the N.C. Clean Water State Revolving Fund and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development. An additional $28,000 will be added to the engineering contract to prepare the loan application, put together engineering reports and provide loan adminstration services, if the town decides to seek financing. The firm will not seek either form of financing unless the town board sends in a written request.

Cook also was interim director of communications for North Mecklenburg Communications Center and currently serves as a basic law enforcement training instructor at Central Piedmont Community College. In addition, Cook is a senior firearms and force training instructor, including Taser, OC, ASP and rapid deployment; system administrator for mobile computer/field reporting operations OSSI systems; and has served as a member of the Cornelius Police Department accreditation team. But much of Tuesday’s board discussion was devoted to another topic: hunting. Ron Lundy, a resident of Faith, asked the Granite Quarry board’s permission to hunt on property that lies within the town limits. A town ordinance prohibits the discharge of a firearm inside the town’s boundaries, thereby ruling out hunting. Lundy said he has permission to hunt on property off Legion Club Road belonging to Hayden Poole. He said he was seeking permission only for him and his family, which includes sons 8 and 10, a 12-yearold daughter and his wife. Lundy said he wanted to hunt on the Granite Quarry property because of a desire to teach his children about hunting, the land’s close proximity to his home and its abundance of game. The family would be hunting for deer, squirrel and rabbit, Lundy said. He added the guns used probably would include a 30-06 rifle, a .410gauge shotgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a muzzle loader. In hunting deer, he would be shooting his 30-06 from one of three elevated stands on the property, Lundy said.
In other business • Will hold an open house from 2-4 p.m. Sunday at the Legion building, 300 Legion St. The public is being invited to see this new community facility, which is available for lease from the town for different events. The local American Legion post donated the property to Granite Quarry. • Approved a budget amendment of $36,286 reflecting the Granite Quarry Civitan Club’s considerable improvements to the Legion building and grounds. The club’s rental fees in coming months and years will be deducted from that amount. The amendment was necessary to reflect the arrangement between the club and town. • Voted 4-0 to direct all requests for use of a town facility away from Town Hall and to the new community building on Legion Street. Only town-related business and meetings will be conducted at Town Hall.
CEREMONIES FROM 3a court. “Anybody is welcome to share their experiences about Sept. 11,” said Chapter Commander Martha Baker, who will speak briefly during the event.
Because of topography and the height of the stands, Lundy and Sgt. Taylor, who investigated the request, said shooters would be aiming toward the ground. Taylor told the board he had no problems with the request. “There are a large number of deer in that area,” Taylor said. Lundy said any deer harvested on the land would provide food for his family. He would like to start hunting on the property with the opening of the muzzle-loader season for deer Oct. 30. He noted that deer season only lasts eight weeks out of the year. Board members asked specific questions on how close any homes were to the Poole property, what weapons the Lundys would be shooting and who would be hunting. Taylor said the closest home on Legion Club Road was 500 feet from a deer stand. Town Attorney Chip Short said the ordinance would allow aldermen to grant Lundy permission to hunt, but he noted later that the ordinance provision was designed more for ceremonial gun salutes. If aldermen were going to grant a request for hunting, Short recommended they dictate a period more restricted than the normal hunting seasons. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Feather said he had concerns about the use of a 30-06 high-powered rifle on property inside the city. Alderman Jake Fisher expressed similar concerns. He wasn’t against hunting, Feather emphasized, and if a request came with more restrictions, he might be able to vote for it. But in the end, aldermen voted 3-1 against Lundy’s request, with Feather, Fisher and Eloise Peeler voting it down. Alderman Brad Kluttz said he wanted to table a vote so the board could have more discussion over the next month. Feather invited Lundy to stay after the meeting so he could discuss the matter further with a few board members. Contact Mark Wineka at 704-797-4263. Mayor Mary Ponds disagreed with the action and supported the idea of having a separate rental fee and policies for the Town Hall. “I still think this is a community building,” she said of Town Hall. “It belongs to the citizens of Granite Quarry.” • Approved the paying of permanent easements ranging from $150 to $1,500 to five property owners in the Brookwood Avenue area, where a culvert is being replaced. Town Manager Dan Peters said drainage, road and construction rights of way are needed in that area before the bidding process can begin. • Approved fishing for one day only Oct. 30 at Granite Lake, in conjunction with a state-sponsored Fish for Fun Day for elementary and middle school children. The number of kids will be limited. The program provides rods, bait and instruction. More information will be available later on the town’s web site.
Law enforcement, firefighters and other emergency personnel will attend the service. Rep. Lorene Coates is also expected to attend, Baker said. Anyone interested in participating in the service can contact Baker at 704-7982826.

Webb Road Flea Market owners Chris and Libby Stephens talk with caretaker Buddy Johnson at the scene of the Friday’s fire.
COUNTY FROM 1a Commissioner Jon Barber seconded Mitchell’s motion. “What’s been lacking with the Rowan County government and municipalities for a long time has been a sincere effort to communicate with each other on issues that affect us all,” Barber said. Ford said he thought communication was improving, but he and Barber both said they had heard China Grove officials were talking about establishing the town’s own ABC system. Commissioner Raymond Coltrain said he could support Mitchell’s motion but wanted the board to address one question. “Do we need to have five members on the ABC board, and if so, why?” he
CITY FROM 1a An amendment to the ABC Modernization Bill in July would have increased the board to five members, but it failed in the Senate by a vote of 36 to 12. The amendment was requested by Commissioner Tina Hall and former Commissioner Jim Sides during a Senate finance committee meeting, Salisbury Assistant City Manager Doug Paris said. Hall and Sides were in Raleigh lobbying for Rowan’s control of the ABC board in response to Salisbury and Kannapolis’ request for equal representation, Paris said. Sen. Andrew Brock (RDavie) proposed the amendment, which would have deleted the word “equal” from the legislation. Salisbury City Council member Paul Woodson said he was surprised county commissioners raised the issue again so soon. “I never would have guessed that we would be talking about this today,” Mayor Susan Kluttz said.
asked. He suggested seeking input from the ABC board itself as well as municipalities. Commissioner Tina Hall asked which commissioners supported local ABC board reform when the county wasn’t receiving distributions. Coltrain replied, “I did not support it because the financial record and track record of the current board showed they made a turn and were doing well ... I voted against that, and I would again today.” Hall thanked him for the “honest answer.” Also on Tuesday, the city of Salisbury approved a resolution asking state legislators to maintain equal representation on the ABC board. (See related story.) Contact Karissa Minn at 704-7974222.
The new law giving the county, Salisbury and Kannapolis each one seat on the ABC board makes sense, considering six of seven ABC stores are located in Salisbury and Kannapolis and generate 90 percent of the system’s revenue, Paris said. The city’s resolution was in response to the county’s proposed attempt to regain a majority of appointments to the board, city officials said. But the county backed off Tuesday and did not pass commissioner Chad Mitchell’s resolution that would have asked legislators to bump up membership on the board. Mitchell’s proposal echoed Brock’s attempt to give the county two seats, Salisbury and Kannapolis each one seat and create a fifth seat to rotate among eight Rowan municipalities. Instead, commissioners gave Chairman Carl Ford permission to present the idea to the municipalities for their input. Rowan County’s pursuit of a majority on the ABC board could prompt Cabarrus County to ask for representation, Paris said. Three ABC stores are in the Cabarrus portion of

In other business Rowan County Commissioners also: • Agreed to start the bid upset process for the former post office building located at 110 W. Innes St. after receiving a $50,000 offer by Kurt and Carrie Gibson. The bid process will be advertised, and others will be given the opportunity to make an offer. The building is valued at less than $88,000, county staff said, but it is in need of about $100,000 worth of repairs. • Approved a resolution and bond order to place a $12 million bond referendum for Rowan-Cabarrus Community College on the Nov. 2 ballot. • Agreed to finance the planned $6.7 million satellite jail facility with RBC Bank.
Kannapolis, a city that straddles the Rowan-Cabarrus county line. Paris suggested the state’s distribution formula for ABC revenues, not board appointments, needs reform. Salisbury and Kannapolis receive only 45 percent of revenues, he said. “The city gets back about 50 cents of every dollar generated,” he said. The ABC controversy, as well as issues like broadband, Alcoa and annexation, are good examples of the increasing impact on Salisbury by state and federal legislation, City Manager Dave Treme said. City officials are making more frequent trips to Raleigh. “We have to go to protect our interests and make sure our voice is heard,” Treme said. Treme promoted Paris to assistant city manager Tuesday to help increase the city’s focus on legislative issues. Salisbury’s recent appointment to the ABC board is accountant David McCoy.

dors who have been supportive of us for numerous years,” Chris said. “Most of all, we’re very grateful that no one was hurt,” Libby said with tears in her eyes. “And we want to thank all of the fire departments.” Chris said that along with the opening of the open-air market this weekend, a plan to rebuild is in place. “We are trying to move as fast as possible to rebuild,” Chris said. “We’re pushing forward to do that as fast as possible.” According to several vendors, the plan is to build a large metal building to house the indoor vendors, and will feature a sprinkler system. Murphy said that because of today’s fire codes, any new structure will most likely have to have sprinklers. “It wasn’t required, obviously, when they built that thing,” he said. The damage to the 1,111 unit market, though, was so severe that fire investigators could not find a specific cause of the fire. “All of us were down there looking, but there was nothing that would lead us to anything specific,” he said, noting the fire’s origin has been officially deemed “undetermined.” “We don’t have any reason to suspect there’s anything suspicious about it,” Murphy said. Murphy said the owners of the flea market had insurance, but the vendors did not.

First flu case of the year confirmed RALEIGH — The North Carolina Division of Public Health has confirmed two cases of seasonal influenza, the first cases of flu confirmed by the state since last spring. The cases were diagnosed in two children from Durham County. “These results remind us that influenza is a year-round problem,” State Health Director Jeff Engel said in a press release. “It also confirms that it is not too early to get immunized against flu.” During most flu seasons, 90 percent of deaths from flu occur in the elderly. However, during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, most deaths from flu were among children and young adults. Because both 2009 H1N1 and seasonal flu strains will likely be circulating this year, it is important

for people of all ages to be protected. “I plan to get my flu vaccination this year,” Gov. Bev Perdue said in the press release. “I urge all North Carolinians to take steps now to protect themselves against the flu.” This year’s flu vaccine includes protection against three strains of influenza, including H1N1. For most people, that means only one flu immunization is necessary. As usual, children under 9 years of age who haven’t been vaccinated against the flu in the past will need two doses of flu vaccine. The CDC and the N.C. Division of Public Health recommend that everyone older than 6 months of age get a yearly flu vaccine. Children younger than 6 months are at high risk of serious flu ill-
ness, but are too young to be vaccinated, so those who care for them should be vaccinated instead. Vaccination is especially important for people at high risk of serious flu complications, including pregnant women, children, seniors and people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart disease. “Our experience with H1N1 made it clear that getting people immunized early can have a tremendous impact on public health,” Engel said. “Vaccine is safe and is the most effective way to prevent flu.” Flu vaccine is plentiful this year and is already widely available in injection and nasal spray forms at physicians’ offices, health departments and chain and independent pharmacies.
Waitress charged with larceny of $500 in sales A Rockwell waitress went home with more than tips, authorities say, and was arrested after her employer told the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office she did not return nearly $508 in sales after working a dinner shift. Sherry Renee Stone, 22, of Rockwell, was arrested Sept. 2 and charged with felony
larceny by employee. A magistrate released her on a written promise to appear in court. According to authorities, Stone, a waitress at Cripple Creek Roadhouse, did not settle up with the restaurant before leaving for the evening, taking home around $400 in cash sales and $100 in credit card sales.
KANNAPOLIS — Carnivorous plants will be the focus of a discussion tonight at the N.C. Research Campus. The University of North Carolina at Charlotte kicks off its Tuesday night lecture series with “ Plants That Eat Insects and the Myth of the Man-eating Plant,” presented by Dr. Larry Mellichamp from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the core laboratory event room in Kannapolis.
STADIUM FROM 3a then be presented to Kannapolis for negotiation. Commissioners agreed unanimously Tuesday to include an altered version of Page’s proposed terms. Commissioner Chad Mitchell said he wanted to keep the lease at five years, instead of giving them an option for 10 years. He said he wasn’t against giving Smith Family Baseball naming rights, as Page suggested, but any revenue from selling the rights should have to go toward stadium repairs. “I don’t like it, but as far as the best thing for Rowan County citizens, I don’t know how we can get any better,” Mitchell said. Commissioner Jon Barber moved to accept Mitchell’s changes, and Mitchell later amended that motion with Barber’s approval. Mitchell said he wanted to add a clause that would escalate Smith Family Baseball’s payments by a small percentage each year. He also asked to strike a term allowing Kannapolis’ $50,000 annual payment to count toward its ownership percentage. Commissioner Tina Hall said Kannapolis shouldn’t be able to increase its ownership percentage after leaving the county to shoulder much of the financial burden. “When Rowan County taxpayers have put up money for 15 years, that’s simply not fair,” Hall said. “What’s fair is for Kannapolis to say, ‘It’s high time for us to do
The seminar is free and open to the public, offering an opportunity not only to learn about botany but also to see the inside of the copperdomed David H. Murdock Research Institute, which features the largest painted ceiling in the Southeast. Mellichamp is a professor of botany and horticulture at UNC-Charlotte, where he has taught for more than 30 years. He is also director of the uni-
versity’s botanical gardens, which are an important resource in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The gardens have a great diversity of interesting plants — both indoors and out — that represent the world’s most unusual flora. Thousands of people from all over the world visit each year. Lectures will continue on Tuesday nights through September.
our part.’ ” In addition, Hall objected to the city and county each being given a skybox when the ownership percentage is not equal. She then asked why ownership needed to be resolved at all, when Kannapolis has informally acknowledged the county’s 75 percent ownership. Chairman Carl Ford added that in past minutes, former county manager Bill Cowan said Kannapolis had agreed to a 75-25 split. Barber replied that the county needs to get something in writing to solidify that agreement. Hall also said Smith Family Baseball appeared to be making money and doing better each year, according to financial records provided to the county. In a letter to commissioners, Page included a statement from the president of the South Atlantic League, Eric Krupa, stating that the team has operated at a loss from 2005 through 2009. He also included Smith Family Baseball’s estimate of the value of naming rights to be between $25,000 and $50,000 per year, based on the current market and the original $300,000 Fieldcrest Cannon naming rights deal in 1995. As instructed by commissioners, county staff will seek to include the following terms in a draft of the new lease: • Smith Family Baseball will be given a five-year lease with an option to renew for another five years. • Smith Family Baseball will be allowed to operate or use the stadium for the entire year, collecting and re-
taining all generated revenues. • Rowan County will assign Smith Family Baseball naming rights for the stadium for revenue to fund facility repairs. • Smith Family Baseball will be responsible for the payment of operating expenses costing up to $5,000 in value. • Smith Family Baseball will pay Rowan County and Kannapolis $25,000 per year in rent to be placed in the Sports Authority Fund. • The payment amount from Smith Family Baseball will escalate by a small percentage each year. • Kannapolis will contribute $50,000 per year to the Sports Authority Fund for capital improvements exceeding $5,000 in value. • Rowan County will have 75 percent stadium ownership and Kannapolis will have 25 percent. • The county and city reserve the right to approve all non-baseball events in advance. • The county and city reserve the right to use a suite and access to 12 tickets per game. • Smith Family Baseball will present the most pressing needs of the stadium each year to the Rowan County manager and Kannapolis city manager for joint review and approval for payment from the Sports Authority Fund. • Signs will be placed at the stadium to acknowledge a partnership between the team owners, the city and the county for support and operation of the facility.

MAKING SAUERKRAUT
BY WAYNE HINSHAW For The Salisbury Post
Grandma Hunt’s Recipe: “Put the cabbage, salt, and pepper in a crock. Pack it down and cover with a clean cloth. Lay two oak boards over the cabbage and weigh them down with two large rocks. Cover the crock with another cloth and tie it down. Let it work 8-14 days. Clean scum off the top. Put the cabbage in a pot and stir until hot. Pack into jars and seal. (Makes about 24 pints) 25 pounds of cabbage 3 ⁄4 cap of non-iodine salt 3 pods of chopped hot pepper Don’t make kraut in the secret, bowels or feet signs or dog days. Better when moon is growing from the new moon sign.” Having an abundance of cabbage from my garden this year, I decided to make a batch of sauerkraut. It has been several years since I ventured into the krautmaking ordeal, but I remembered that the last batch was very good. Looking for the recipe that we used last time, my wife Sammie found the old recipe that my Grandma Hunt gave to me many years ago. She passed away about 40 years ago. We have made kraut using Grandma’s recipe before, but the last two times we used a much simpler “pack it directly in the jars” method and let it ferment already in the jars. Rediscovering my grandma’s recipe brought back memories of making sauerkraut using her recipe. Her recipe is not as exciting as the “recipe” that the Baldwin Sisters on the TV show “The Waltons” used, but it has its own points of interest. Years ago, I purchased a 5-gallon ceramic crock from O.O. Rufty’s. My dad cut two oak boards used to hold the cabbage down in the crock. I searched a rock pile next to my dad’s garden for two white flint rocks about the correct size and weight to go on top of the oak boards. The boards had to be hardwood and the rocks had to scrubbed and boiled to be sure they were clean. Grandma Hunt had a garden hoe that had been straighten and sharpened to use for chopping the cabbage in a pumping motion. A cloth cover or pillowcase is needed over the crock to keep flies and insects from getting into the cabbage. As the cabbage ferments and the mold or “scum” forms, the strong smell will attract flies. Grandma always insisted on using mountain cabbage for her sauerkraut for some reason. You can make sauerkraut any time, but October’s cool days make the fermenting process take longer than the hot days of summer. I made my kraut during the summer. After pulling all of my equipment together to make the kraut, I decided to go with a more modern, simpler method of packing the cabbage directly into the jars for fermentation and skip the crock method. I feel like I have betrayed Grandma in not sticking with the old school method, but my sauerkraut turned out perfectly well with much less work. The old recipe renewed my interest in the “old wives’ tales” that surround sauerkraut-making. Maybe they are not “old wives’ tales,” but many of the directions are beyond my understanding. Grandma always made her kraut using the astrological signs of the moon from “The Farmer’s Almanac” or “Blum’s Almanac” or “The Planter’s Almanac.” Maybe they are the same, I don’t know. Her instructions were “don’t make the kraut when the signs are
Wayne hinshaW/for the SALISBUrY PoSt
Summer delight of homemade sauerkraut. in the secrets, bowels or feet or dog days.” The kraut is better made when “the moon is growing from the new moon.” I have never understood these directions completely. The astrological chart has a Zodiac man with his body divided into 12 signs. Each sign is associated with a different part of the body such as the head, neck, shoulders, sexual organs, bowels, legs and feet. It seems that the best sign for kraut-making is in the head and neck. By all means, it must be in a sign above the waist. If you go below the waist, the kraut will either smell bad, rot or make to much water and overflow your crock. Some say make kraut in the Dark of the Moon, or when the moon is “growing old.” If the moon is “waxing, full, waning, going down or new,” it is good to go ahead with the kraut. I have to admit I didn’t check the moon or Zodiac signs when I made my kraut. The Chinese, in the first Century B.C. during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), fed fermented cabbage to the workers building the Great Wall. It is an eye-opener to think that when Genghis Khan marched his army from China to Europe, he would start all this commotion. The story is that he fed the
Chinese army on fermented sour cabbage (kraut) during that march. When he reached Germany, the Germans quickly took a liking to kraut, and there you have it. The German immigrants brought their kraut recipes to America. In the 18th century, Captain James Cook fed his sailors sauerkraut to ward off scurvy on his ship. We do know the health benefits of sauerkraut. It is a good source of vitamin C and lactobacilli. It is suggested as a good remedy for gastrointestinal conditions, from diarrhea to constipation, ulcers, bronchitis and other digestive and respiratory diseases. One source said it is good for hangovers. It lessens the headache and neutralizes the effects of the alcoholic intoxication. Uncooked kraut has health benefits similar to yogurt with live lactobacillus cultures. It is a source of fiber, iron and vitamin K. It is very low in calories. Some say that sauerkraut is more healthy than the raw cabbage, which is a good anti-cancer food. Kraut is high in salt and not good for folks on a sodium-restricted diet. It has been suggested that kraut helps lessen the effects of the common cold and flu. I wouldn’t know about how accurate that might be. It does seem that making sauer-
kraut is a mystery of sorts. You add a bit of salt to cabbage and the sugars in the cabbage ferment into vinegars. You don’t need to add any bacteria to make it ferment. They are already present in the raw cabbage. Other “truths” or maybe “old wives tales” about sauerkraut are as follows: • You must “stomp” your cabbage so it will be bruised when making sauerkraut. The bruising makes the cabbage release more juice. You can use a rolling pin or a baseball bat for the “stomping.” • Sauerkraut juice will cure sores in your mouth. • Sauerkraut eaten on New Year’s Day will bring you good luck or money or good health if you mix kraut and stewed tomatoes together in your meal. • During World War II, many Americans of German origin called sauerkraut “victory cabbage” to avoid being associated with the kraut image of Germans. • A horseman said he treated scratches on his horses’ legs by wrapping the legs in sauerkraut for two days. Most of the scratches were gone. (Maybe the vinegar was more responsible than the kraut.) • A pregnant lady who is partly dilated can speed up the delivery process by eating a bowl of
sauerkraut. • When you cook cabbage it has a strong odor. Drop a walnut, shell and all, into the boiling water to stop the smell. (Opening a window or turning on the exhaust fan also works.) • If after breast-feeding, you feel engorged, place a cool, washed cabbage leaf from the refrigerator on your breast until the leaf is wilted and you start smelling like sauerkraut. This will soften the breast and helps re-establish a good flow of milk. • Ladies don’t make sauerkraut when pregnant because your jars of kraut will not seal.
A Kraut song from the 1800s that kraut-makers could sing while working on the kraut. Sauerkraut is bully, Sauerkraut is fine: We ought to know it, For we eat it all the time. Put the cabbage in a “Bail” (barrel) Stamp it with your feet, When the juice begins to rise, The kraut is fit to eat. Put it in a pot, Set it onto “bile” Be sure to keep the cover on, Or you'll smell it half a mile.

This is in addition to seeing neighbors and talking with your growers. We are moving into late summer, which is harvest time at the market; don’t miss it. If you plan to freeze some of summer’s favorites, it is time. This weekend may be the last of summer for Miller Farm corn.

Dear California: Your assumption that you are more in touch with your feelings because you are a woman makes me wonder about your willingness to see your behavior from his perspective. If you feel you must continually “give in� to get along, this relationship doesn’t have much of a future. But you and your guy can learn to listen, negotiate and navigate through challenges. You have to acknowledge this problem and consciously work on changing the dynamic — together. Dear Amy: “Worried Mom� was upset about her daughter’s weight gain and terrible
eating habits. We had the exact same issue with our daughter. She ate too much of the wrong foods, and our constant comments about her weight and eating habits left her feeling angry. We began to fear that her weight issues were going to permanently damage our relationship when a friend suggested that we get a third party involved who would have some emotional distance. Our daughter agreed to see a nutritionist on a weekly basis. It was life changing. It took a year for my daughter to adopt all the changes, but it was worth it. She looks great and feels so much better about herself. Now we are her biggest cheerleaders instead of her biggest critics. — Been There

Dear Concerned: You did the right thing. Your mother is embarrassed, your siblings are backing her up, but there are far worse fates than a little embarrassment. Suffering a stroke, for instance, and not getting help. The fact is, something was wrong with your mother, and she should follow up with her doctor. Take this incident as your wake-up call to work with your siblings and your mother on making some small changes so she can continue to live safely at home. I recommend you look into a monitoring service. For a monthly fee, she can have an intercom installed onto her phone line and a “panic� button. This adds another set of ears, another entity in the chain of contact and another person available to try to assess her needs. You should also add a couple of neighbors to your contact list.

Elderly mom causes long-distance alarm Dear Amy: My 83-year-old widowed mother and I were having our weekly phone conversation last night (I live in California; she’s in New York) when she began to repeat herself over and over — more than a dozen times. I kept asking her, “Why are you repeating yourself?� My mother’s cognitive skills are exceptional, and this odd behavior had me ASK worried. AMY She had earlier complained about how hot it was, and I suspected the heat may have contributed to her problem. I asked her if she was feeling OK, and she said she was fine, but again she began to repeat herself. I told her I would call her back then tried to get a hold of my sister who lives 20 minutes away. No luck. I called my brother and asked him to call her to see if she sounded weird. He spoke with her and then called me back, agreeing that she sounded strange. I took it upon myself to call 911. An ambulance went to the house. The EMTs examined her and found nothing wrong. Now she refuses to speak with me. She says I humiliated her. What is the proper protocol here? She lives alone and I couldn’t reach anyone, so I decided to send help. I worried that she might be having a stroke. Now my brother and sister say I overreacted.

my late summer favorites, Peach Bread. It is a rich tasting, healthy snack to add to a lunch box. Watch for Emma’s candied apple pie which has a sweet caramel topping on a fresh apple pie. I overheard one customer asking Kris Turco at How Sweet It Is ask for pound cake. The customer described it as the best she ever tasted. Carla Ann’s Cookies have added many new items, including breads and flat breads. Wild Turkey Farms has all natural nitrate-free hot dogs.

QURAN BURNING IN FLORIDA
Fanning the flames f the Rev. Terry Jones hoped that burning a few Qurans would fire up publicity for himself and his tiny Florida church, he has succeeded without striking a match. Jones’ plan to torch copies of the Muslim holy book on Sept. 11, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, has generated headlines around the world. That includes Afghanistan, where Gen. David Petraeus warned that if Jones follows through on his vow, it could incite further violence and put U.S. troops at greater risk. That warning alone should be sufficient reason for any reasonable person to cancel the pyrotechnics, but then Jones doesn’t appear to be interested in reason where religion is concerned. Last year, he erected a sign at his Gainesville, Fla., church declaring “Islam is of the devil,” and he now says he has a right to burn the Quran because “it’s full of lies.” Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe has called Jones’ church, the Dove World Outreach Center, “an embarrassment to the community.” Jones is right in one regard. He does have the right to take this symbolic action, but not because of his faith or his religious convictions. He can exercise that right because freedom of speech is a fundamental tenet of the Constitution — a secular document whose protections extend equally to all citizens, regardless of their creed. But as others have noted during the recent controversy over plans to build a Muslim center near Ground Zero, the fact that someone has a right to do something doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do. In a twist of logic, Jones seems to suggest that the barbarisms and oppression practiced by Muslim extremists and Taliban terrorists justify his own inflammatory actions. “We think it’s time to turn the tables, and instead of possibly blaming us for what could happen, we put the blame where it belongs — on the people who would do it.” Rather than turning the tables, however, he’s sitting down beside other religious antagonists and taking a page from their book of hate. It would be easy to dismiss Jones as a fringe figure who wanted to stir up some controversy and succeeded in a big way. Less easily discounted, however, is how his Quran-burning crusade may further inflame anti-Islamic fervor that has erupted in New York, in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and is being stoked by cynical politicians and others more interested in brandishing the torches of the mob than upholding the light of reason and freedom of religion. Jones is playing with fire in more ways than one. Let’s hope cooler heads can prevail and snuff out this ill-conceived spectacle.

hat do over 1,400 Rowan County children have in common? They all participated in the Make a Splash summer reading programs at Rowan Public Library. Erika Kosin, supervisor of children’s services at RPL, says that for years the library has encouraged reading by providing children with an easy way to keep track of the hours they spend reading over the summer. “Instead of reporting a total number of books read, children report the total number of hours they read. So they are able to read at their own pace and still be rewarded,” Kosin explains. This year the library added incentives to the reading program and saw even more participants as a result. Each child received a small prize for reading just one hour, and other prizes for every five hours read, until they reported a total of 20 hours, when they were able to choose a free book and enter into a special raffle for a summer reading themed prize basket. “Even children who only read a few hours were rewarded, which encouraged them to report their progress, and as a result, they became really excited about the program,” Kosin says. “Children reported a total of over 7,260 reading hours by the program’s conclusion — an almost 2,000-hour increase over last year.” Summer Reading also involves free entertainment programming. Children had the opportunity to see professional magicians, storytellers, musicians and theater groups at the library throughout the summer. All performances were geared towards educational entertainment where books were a primary focus each week, even if the children were having too much fun to realize it. As they return to school this fall, children who have spent time reading and participating in reading-related programming over the summer enjoy benefits over those who did not. Research shows that reading reduces summer learning loss. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has stated “a key step toward stopping the summer slide is the development and launch of high quality programs that take advantage of time outside the school day and year.” Another study showed that children given free books during the summer, and the chance to choose the books that most interested them, posted significantly higher reading test scores than children who did not receive books. “A big part of this study was children being able to choose what they wanted to read,” Kosin says. “At the library, we are encouraging children to read, but they are free to choose the books they want. They are reading for fun over the summer and not to take a test.” The study found that although children prefer books about pop-culture celebrities, teachers and parents try to steer them toward biographies of historical figures. “As long as they’re reading, that’s the important thing,” Kosin says. Teens can also be affected by summer learning loss, so this year marked the fourth annual Teen Summer Reading Program held at RPL with the theme Make Waves @ Your Library. Teens in middle school and high school were invited to participate in seven weeks of programs, including how to letterbox, light painting with a digital camera, creating a sound effects library, a craft program that used water or water items, a water science program presented by Horizons and a photo scavenger hunt that tested knowledge of the library as well as creativity. As teens read, listened to audiobooks and turned in reviews, they earned library money to be used at the end of the summer program to bid on prizes at a silent auction. More than 150 teens registered, turning in more than 3,800 reading hours, more than 200 book reviews and more than 30 designs for covers of popular books. • • • Amy Notarius is a librarian with the Rowan Public Library.
Where’s the real revival? Political aims replace humility, repentance n calling for a spiritual revival in America at his Lincoln Memorial rally Aug. 28, talk show host Glenn Beck reached back into history and touched on a familiar theme. What would a genuine revival look like and how did those that have transformed America several times in the past get started? Earlier revivals were not created from the mobilization of large crowds. They occurred when people did something infrequently observed in modern times: humbled themselves. Depending on how you count them there have been at least three “great awakenings” in American history. All of them — along with revivals in other countries — had one thing in common. They all beCAL gan with what the late revival THOMAS historian J. Edwin Orr called “a concert of prayer.” The 1857 revival is instructive. It began when two men working on Wall Street decided to meet once a week on their lunch hour to pray for revival. They soon decided to meet daily. They did not issue a press release. Other men soon joined them. The group grew so large they started meeting at night in churches and invited their wives to participate. Revival came like a brush fire, exploding not only in New York City, but also up the Mohawk River and down the Hudson, into Appalachia. According to RevivalLibrary.org, from February to June 1858, “around 50,000 people a week were added to the church — in a nation whose population was only 30,000,000. Across the Atlantic another million were won to Christ by 1865. ... Ulster saw 100,000 converted, Scotland 30,000, Wales 100,000 and England 500,000.” Besides prayer, another characteristic of the 1857 revival and all other revivals was genuine repentance and a confession of personal guilt before a holy God. Anyone familiar with the Old and New Testaments knows that humbling one’s self before God gets His attention faster than any earthly pursuit or agenda. Modern evangelicals, so preoccupied with who is in the White House or which party controls Congress, might benefit from studying the results of the revivals. As Orr

tells it, not only did the 1857 revival have a profound social impact on America, it also dramatically affected every society it reached. Following the revival of 1905, crime virtually disappeared in London. The police had little to do, so they formed quartets and sang at the revival meetings. A Chicago shoe salesman named Dwight L. Moody wanted to teach Sunday school at a local church, but was told by its superintendent that the church already had 16 teachers too many. The superintendent instructed Moody to “get some boys off the street” and “take them to the country. ... They will be your class.” That was the beginning of a ministry and missionary work that lasted 40 years. Revivals don’t ratify the earthly aspirations of humanity, including selfish political agendas. They are about glorifying God. Too many modern Christians have it backward. In a real revival the Lincoln Memorial event would have been a result, not an attempt to cause a revival. People would have assembled who had already repented in private. They would not have bemoaned a decline in American “morality,” but instead have fallen on their knees (or faces) and cried out in genuine repentance and humility. On his blog (http://www.russellmoore.com/ 2010/08/29/god-the-gospel-and-glenn-beck/), Dr. Russell Moore, dean of the School of Theology at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., writes: “Too often, and for too long, American Christianity has been a political agenda in search of a gospel useful enough to accommodate it. There is a liberation theology of the Left, and there is also a liberation theology of the Right, and both are at the heart mammon worship...” What passes for American Christianity today is increasingly counterfeit. It appears more focused on a transient earthly kingdom, rather than a heavenly eternal kingdom. That is idolatry and violates the First Commandment: “Thou shall have no other gods before me.” When Christians obey that commandment, and humble themselves, only then might revival follow. • • • Contact Cal Thomas via e-mail at tmseditors@ tribune.com.

Webb Road fire brought quick, unselfish responses Last Friday, Sept. 3, your American Red Cross E. H. Dole Chapter assisted at the massive Webb Road Flea Market fire. Chapter staff and volunteers led by Deborah Lineberger very quickly set up with vehicles and shelters to provide aid and comfort to the firefighters working in the 95-degree-plus temperatures. Shelter, cold drinks and lunch were provided to more than 100 firefighters who had been working there since morning. We want to thank the following Rowan County businesses for immediately responding with donations of food, drinks and ice that made this quick response possible: Ryan’s Steakhouse corporate management; Ryan’s Steakhouse employees led by manager Tammy Allman, who donated their own money to help; WalMart; Food Lion Corp. and Marlowe’s Barbecue and Seafood Restaurant. We also wish to thank our sister chapter in Union County for responding with their emergency response vehicle and a four-person crew to assist us in feeding the firefighters. Our community can be proud and thankful to have neighbors who quickly and unselfishly help neighbors in a crisis. You all have our deepest appreciation. — Steve Simpson Salisbury

ca’s most important document is one of our country’s least known official observances. Our Constitution stands as a testament to the tenacity of Americans throughout history to maintain their liberties and freedom, and to ensure those unalienable rights to every American. The United States of America functions as a republic under the Constitution, which is the oldest document still in active use that outlines the self-government of a people. This landmark idea that men had the inalienable right as individuals to be free and live their lives under their own governance was the impetus of the American Revolution. Today, the Constitution stands as an icon of freedom for people around the world.

Now, eight weeks from Election Day, the Democrats are bracing for the virtual certainty of lost House seats and scrambling to hold back a wave that could hand the GOP the 40 it needs to command a majority Obama, grasping for a way to turn the tide, today plans to propose $30 billion in new investment tax breaks for businesses to go along with tens of billions in spending he called for on Labor Day to invigorate the slow recovery. But even if Congress acts on the requests — a long shot in a highly charged political season — there’s little time left for Democrats to salvage their election chances. With Obama’s popularity slumping and the party demoralized, dozens of first- and second-term Democrats as well as longer-serving congressmen who haven’t faced serious challenges in years are toiling to hold onto their jobs in places that tend to prefer Republicans. And polls show independent voters leaning toward the GOP. When asked which party they want to control Congress, voters are split or leaning toward Republicans, national surveys say. Perhaps even more ominously for Democrats, voters are overwhelmingly sour about national issues, especially the economy.

Then came a blinding cloud of smoke and a deafening roar as the fire ripped through the wilderness. “You can hear just this consumption of fuel, just crackling and burning. And the hardest thing is ... you couldn’t see it because at the point the smoke was that thick,” he said. Myers was among about 3,500 people who desperately fled the fire after it erupted in

Bill Ritter declared a state of emergency Tuesday as officials nearly doubled the fire’s estimated size to more than 7,100 acres, or 11 square miles. At one point the plume from the fire could be seen in Wyoming, 90 miles to the north. Authorities investigated reports that the fire started when a car crashed into a propane tank.

Cuba’s state-controlled media reported Aug. 31 that Goldberg and Sweig met with Castro and attended the dolphin show at Havana’s aquarium, but the blog was the first to reveal details of what they discussed.

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who has presided over the nation’s third-largest city for 21 years, like his father did before him, announced Tuesday that he will not run for a seventh term, saying the time “just feels right.” Daley, 68, said he had been thinking about not running for several months and became comfortable with his decision over the DALEY last several weeks. “It just feels right,” Daley said at a news conference, his smiling wife Maggie standing by his side. “I’ve always believed that every person, especially public officials, must understand when it’s time to move on. For me, that time is now.” He called the announcement “a personal decision, no more, no less” and said he and his family now begin a “new phase of our lives.”

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Christian minister vowed Tuesday to go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite warnings from the White House and the top U.S. general in Afghanistan that he would endanger American troops overseas. Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center, which has about 50 members, said he underthe stands government’s JONES concerns but plans to go forward with the burning Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of the attacks. He left the door open to change his mind, saying he is still praying about his decision, which was condemned Tuesday by an interfaith coalition that met in Washington to respond to a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry. Gen. David Petraeus warned in an e-mail to the Associated Press that “images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan — and around the world — to inflame public opinion and incite violence.” State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley echoed that, calling the plan to burn copies of the Quran “un-American” and saying it does not represent the views of most people in the U.S.

Boise is all grown up BY TIM DAHLBERG Associated Press

Boise state quarterback Kellen Moore greets happy fans after Monday’s win.
Baseball drama
They didn’t need to dust off the ol’ Statue of Liberty play, never thought of pulling off a fake punt. Save those for, say, Jan. 10 in Arizona. That may be the only time this season that Boise State has to dig into its bag of tricks. OK, so the hugely entertaining win over Virginia Tech doesn’t exactly guarantee the Broncos a spot in the BCS title game. There are still lots of games to play, even more polls to take, and a lot more debating to do. But after yet another sterling performance on a national stage one thing is clear: Boise State is a grown up football team now, and maybe it’s time to start treating them as such. The voters in the Associated Press Top 25 poll already do, rewarding Boise with a No. 3 ranking.
The teams they will face with a giant bulls eye on their backs the rest of the season certainly will. And if the Broncos run the table in the regular season for a third straight year, the people running the BCS surely better. This isn’t the little team that could anymore. This is a big team that really can. The Broncos had just 60 minutes Monday night to prove they weren’t just pretenders. An hour of football to state their case or spend the rest of the season as an afterthought on gaudy blue turf. They needed almost every second of it to win a thriller over Virginia Tech that was so big many Boise State players celebrated by taking a victory lap around FedEx Field. “Certainly we’re proving people right right now,” quarterback Kellen Moore said.

Another position for Gibson
Plenty of intrigue as season winds down BY JON KRAWCZYKSKI Associated Press
BY MIKE LONDON So much of the baseball season has already been played, and yet there is still so much left to be decided. Adrian Gonzalez, Heath Bell and the reeling San Diego Padres trying to close out the NL West. Bobby Cox hoping for one last playoff run in Atlanta. Joe Mauer aiming to bring October baseball to the great outdoors in Minnesota. Four of the six division leaders carried a lead of 31⁄2 games or BELL fewer into the final month, setting the stage for a heart-pounding finish to the regular season. The Twins know all about those. For two straight years, 162 games haven’t been enough to crown an AL Central champion. Minnesota lost to the Chicago White Sox in a one-game playoff in 2008, then beat the Detroit Tigers in Game 163 to win it last season. The Twins started Monday with a 31/2-game edge on the White Sox, who brought in Manny Ramirez from the Los Angeles Dodgers to add even more sizzle to what already has been an exciting race. Can Derek Jeter and the championship-soaked New York Yankees hold off Evan Longoria and the fresh-faced Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East? And who would have thought when the season started that the Texas Rangers and the Cincinnati Reds would be the only two teams breathing easy as September rolled around? The suddenly banged-up Rangers held an eight-game lead in the AL West while Dusty Baker and the Reds were up seven games in the NL Central as they tuned up for long overdue playoff appearances. Then again, as Yogi Berra said, it’s not over till it’s over. Last year the Twins rallied from a seven-game deficit at the start of September to take the division. Do the Cardinals or Athletics have a similar

Catawba’s starting center for three seasons, Zane Gibson got a surprising phone call from new offensive line coach Brian Hinson a few weeks before summer camp started. Hinson, a former Catawba All-American, wanted his line leader to move to guard. “We talked about 30 minutes,” Gibson said. He just wanted to know if I’d be on board with a position switch. Naturally, I told him I’d do what was best for the team. It’s been a transition to guard, but it’s been fun.” GIBSON Hinson made two more similar preseason phone calls. Catawba actually has three veteran blockers who have switched positions. Besides Gibson, Lavar Marsh has moved from tight end to tackle, and Kemp McSween, starting for the fourth year, has shifted from guard to tackle. Gibson is making a comeback. He suffered two serious injuries in 2009. A strained knee ligament sidelined him first. That setback was followed by a high ankle sprain when he returned to action. The silver lining in Gibson’s frequent absence from the lineup was the opportunity that was presented to Daylon McAlexander, Gibson’s teammate at Raleigh’s Wakefield High. McAlexander, who has teamed with Gibson six years, moved into the lineup as the starting center. Hinson was excited about having wayne hinshaw/saLisBUrY post

Tiger makes Ryder team Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tiger Woods was a nobrainer as a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup. Rickie Fowler? That required a little more than deep thought. “It just came down to feelings,” captain Corey Pavin said. “I had a gut feeling about Rickie.” Fowler, the 21-yearold mop top who only turned pro 11 months ago, made history TuesPAVIN day as the first PGA Tour rookie on the American team and the first captain’s pick to have never won on tour. He was the only big mystery when Pavin announced his four picks at the New York Stock Exchange. Pavin also chose a pair of major champions, Stewart Cink and Zach Johnson, both of whom have played the Ryder Cup on the road. The matches will be held Oct. 1-3 at Celtic Manor in Wales. Fowler will be the youngest American
to play in the Ryder Cup since Woods in 1997, but only the second-youngest player at Celtic Manor. Rory McIlroy, the 21year-old from Northern Ireland, earned his way onto the European team. “I can bring a little bit of color to the team, I can bring some youth to the team and hopefully, get the guys pumped up a little bit,” Fowler said. “But as I said, we’re all going over there to win, so we’re all going to be getting each other pumped and focusing on our main goal, bringing home the cup.” The Americans won two years ago in Kentucky, and will try to win for the first time overseas since 1993 at The Belfry. This will be the sixth Ryder Cup team for Woods, but the first in which he needed to be picked. Woods had finished first in the standings every time, including in 2008 when he spent the second half of the year recovering from knee surgery. “It’s great to be a part of this team,” Woods said. “I’m honored to be selected ... and looking forward to going back and having a great time with the team and hopefully, bring the Cup back.” The eight Americans who qualified after the PGA Championship were Phil

tiger Woods, above, joins stewart cink, Zach Johnson and rickie Fowler as the last additions. Mickelson, Hunter Mahan, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Matt Kuchar, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson and Jeff Overton. European captain Colin Montgomerie said Pavin used his four picks “to good effect.” “Like my European team, the American side has an excellent blend of youthful talent alongside some seasoned Ryder Cup campaigners, and I am delighted to see Tiger Woods amongst Corey’s selections,” he said. “The Ryder Cup is a better event with him in it.” Cink made his fifth consecutive team — his third as a captain’s pick — while Johnson is playing for the second time.
CHARLOTTE — Tony Stewart went to Atlanta Motor Speedway mired in a 31-race winless streak and an afterthought, at best, on the list of championship contenders. By the time he left the track early Monday morning he may very well have become the front-runner for the Sprint Cup Series title. The streakiest driver in NASCAR knocked down his first win of the season late Sunday night with a dominating performance at Atlanta, and based on Stewart’s own track record, he’s got to be considered a credible contender. When Smoke gets hot — and he usually does every summer — he is very, very hard to beat.
He won three times in a nine-race span last season to move to the top of the points standings, won three of four in the middle of the 2007 season, and three of six in 2006 when he failed to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Now Stewart rolls into Richmond International Raceway, site of Saturday night’s “regular season finale,” with nothing to lose. He can gamble and race hard for a win, and with it 10 more critical bonus points, and take a ton of momentum into the Sept. 19 Chase opener at New Hampshire. It’s a far different situation than last season, when Stewart built a monstrous lead in the points standings but cooled off considerably

Hornets roll again From staff reports
Salisbury’s boys soccer team beat Carson 7-1 on Tuesday to improve to 7-0. The Hornets are ranked No. 1 in 2A. “Yeah, it’s nice because it’s the first time in history that we’ve been ranked No. 1 above the Shelbys and Swansboros of the world,” SHS coach Tom Sexton said. “But we have to look at it like we’re not even ranked. We haven’t won anything. We still have to go out and perform on the field.” The Hornets performed well against the Cougars. Hanson Saryee scored a quick goal, and the Hornets added a second goal six seconds later on a set play on Carson’s kickoff. Saryee and Matt Cervantes set up Kenne Bonilla. Michael Mazur’s corner kick led to another goal by Bonilla for a 3-0 CERVANTES lead. Carson made it 3-1 at halftime. “We tried to steal, got into a bad defensive posture, and they took it right through us,” Sexton said. “We’ve been giving up one goal a game, usually on a mistake, and we’ve got to rectify that. But, offensively, we played very well tonight.” John Grant’s throw-in led to a goal by Emmy Turcios for a 4-1 lead, and Cervantes stole the ball and scored unassisted for a 5-1 cushion. Another long throw-in by Grant set up a header by Jordan Sanchez for the sixth goal, and Tripp Caldwell capped the scoring. He scored his first goal as a Hornet on a volley, following up a shot by Zack Sukkasem that struck the right post. Connor Miller was aggressive in goal for the Hornets. Banks Fisher played the last 20 minutes and had two nice saves. Salisbury plays against West Rowan for the Rowan County tournament championship on Thursday at East Rowan at 6 p.m.

PEOPLES “I got some good reps at Monday’s practice and caught all the passes they threw me,” Branch said. “I like to block.”
GOALS: Hester pointed out the Indians were winners Saturday in a lot of the key statistical goals they stress. Catawba had more first downs than St. Aug’s, was more efficient on third-down conversions and won time of possession. Turnovers were even. “The one category we didn’t win that stands out, wayne hinshaw/SALISBURY POST though, was rushing yards,” Catawba’s Julian Hartsell rushes St. Augustine’s Joaquin Green.

So Boise State will run up the score on Wyoming, and try to win style points by blowing out New Mexico State. They’ll need to win big against teams that have nothing to lose by trying to pull their own big upsets. They’ll have to satisfy both the voters and the computers, and they can’t afford to let anyone even play them close. “We’re heading off to Wyoming, and it’s going to be the biggest game at Wyoming ever,” Moore said. “That’s the way it goes, and that’s the way we like it. We like to be everyone’s biggest game.” In years past, beating up on bad teams would have gotten them a pat on the back and a conference title. The competition simply wasn’t good enough for Boise to move all the way up in the polls. That changed this year, though, which is what made the game against the Hokies so big. Boise came in as the No. 3 ranked team in the country, just behind Alabama and Ohio State, two teams with a lot more football pedigree. The Broncos don’t need to climb. All they need to do is tread water and hope the two teams ahead of them can’t make it through much
The college notebook ... GREENSBORO — North Carolina quarterback T.J. Yates and two Maryland players are among the ACC’s players of the week. The league on Tuesday announced that Terrapins defensive lineman Joe Vellano was honored, as was defensive back Kenny Tate. Yates threw for a career-high 412 yards in an opening-weekend loss to LSU. Tate stopped Ricky Dobbs at the 1-yard line with 34 seconds left to preserve Maryland’s win over Navy. The league announced that Terrapins defensive lineman Joe Vellano was honored, as was defensive back Kenny Tate. Florida State’s Zebrie Sanders, Georgia Tech’s Sean Bedford and Virginia’s Oday Aboushi were chosen co-offensive linemen of the week. BUSH TO BE STRIPPED NEW YORK — Yahoo! sports is reporting that 2005 Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush is expected to be stripped of the award by the end of the month The former Southern Cal running back would become the first player in the 75-year history of the award to have the Heisman Trophy taken away. The report also says the award would be left vacant for ’05. The NCAA found major violations in USC’s football program and levied serious sanctions against the school in June. POLL NEW YORK — Boise State has gained seven firstplace votes to close in on No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State as the top three in the first regular season Associated Press football poll.
The Broncos remained third and 1,399 points from the media panel, 13 points behind the Buckeyes. Ohio State received four first-place votes and 1,412 points. Alabama had 47 firstplace votes, down seven, and 1,484 points. TCU moved up two spots to No. 4. Texas remained No. 5 and received a first-place vote. No. 8 Florida dropped four spots after a sloppy 3412 victory against Miami (Ohio) and No. 10 Oklahoma fell three places after beating Utah State 31-24. BIG SKY The Big Sky Conference has announced the addition of the football teams from Cal Poly and UC Davis. Cal Poly and UC Davis are Football Championship Subdivision teams that compete in the Great West Conference for football but participate in the Big West for the majority of their sports. A timeline for the move has not been set. MIAMI FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Even though he’s facing perhaps the biggest game of his tenure at Miami, Randy Shannon worked some free time into his schedule Tuesday. About three hours away from the office, to be exact. With a few days left before No. 12 Miami visits No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, Shannon made an unusual addition to his typical gameweek schedule. He took time out to mingle with and then address 100 lunching boosters at a steakhouse in Fort Lauderdale, many of whom stood and applauded his arrival. Shannon told them, “I think this is unbelievable. I think this is the first time in a long time we’ve had this kind of support.”
Hinson said the linemen have things to work on and need to get out to the linebackers more, but it was a solid beginning. He has no complaints except for the scoreboard. Gibson acknowledges that the Indians desperately need a win, and he’s confident they’ll play well against Livingstone on Saturday. “We were 4-6 last year, and we really want to change the way people think about us,” Gibson said.

BOISE Probably winning a lot of fans along the way, too. Say what you will about their weak schedule, but the Broncos always seem to find a way to step it up when it really matters and are certainly a lot more fun to watch than the two teams ahead of them in the national rankings. The fun this time took place on the road before 86,587 mostly hostile fans. Up early, behind late, Boise State found a way to come back and win on a touchdown pass to Austin Pettis with 1:09 remaining. A team that first gained national attention with trick plays that beat Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl also showed it can play football the old-fashioned way, too, more than holding its own in the trenches against a tough and physical opponent. Indeed, the Broncos answered every question except the one about their schedule. They had to, because they will have no other chance. Their coach tried to downplay it all along, insisting it was just one game in a long season. But the players, college students that they are, were too smart for that. They certainly understood the difference between the BCS title game and the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl that one lucky Western Athletic Conference team will be in this year. “We know how much was at stake for us, so it was kind of like a bowl game,” Pettis said. Whether the win over No. 10 Virginia Tech will be enough to keep the Broncos in the national title chase despite their weak schedule will be debated endlessly over the upcoming weeks by the talking heads on television. Oregon State is really the only team left on the

Hinson explained. “Now we’ve got Daylon and Zane, we’ve got Ethan Winn at the other guard, and we were able to put two big, athletic bodies (Marsh and HINSON McSween) at tackle.” Gibson missed some practice in the spring with eye issues, but he lost 35 pounds over the summer
DEFENSE: Linebacker Cory Johnson was in on 10 tackles and knocked down a pass. He was named Defensive Player of the Week.

The Catawba notebook ... Always one of the fastest men on campus, Elbert Scott Branch returned after a year’s layoff on Saturday and made a sudden impact on special teams in Catawba’s 20-17 loss to St. Augustine’s. Branch, who answers to “E.J.” was on all the special-teams units, made two tackles on kickoffs and was honored as Catawba’s Special BRANCH Teams Player of the Week. Branch’s combination of electric speed and good size (225 pounds) made him a special-teams cruncher when he was a freshman in 2006. Then he started some games at linebacker in 2007 and played fullback in 2008. Then he disappeared from the program. “Just family issues, and I needed to take some time off,” Branch explained. “I focused on school for a year and got my strength and conditioning internship done with Coach (John) Fitz.” Now, after a temporary detour, Branch is back in pads and looking forward to a productive senior season. “It took about three weeks of conditioning to lose a little weight and get back into the right mindset for football,” Branch said. “But I passed our running test, and I’m feeling great.” Branch was a star run-

Leinart signs with Texans Associated Press
HOUSTON— Quarterback Matt Leinart has officially joined the Houston Texans. The former Heisman Trophy signed a one-year contract Tuesday. He was cut by the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday and agreed to terms with the Texans earlier this week. The 27-year-old Leinart will be the No. 3 quarterback on the Texans behind Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky. The team would not disclose terms of the deal. The Houston Chronicle reported that the contract has a base salary of $630,000, with a maximum value of $1 million. Leinart’s agent, Tom Condon, would not confirm the terms when reached by phone by The Associated Press. Leinart complained during training camp that he had issues with Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt, and the two met late in the preseason. With Kurt Warner retired, Leinart figured he would get to start this season, but Derek Anderson won the job. The Cardinals failed in efforts to trade Leinart before cutting him. By releasing him, Arizona doesn’t have to pay him the $2.5 million he
MORE NFL FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — The ball tipped off Darrelle Revis’ hands, then his helmet and popped into the air before falling to the ground. The New York Jets cornerback knew exactly what was coming next. “Rusty!” shouted some teammates. Another yelled: “You’ve been chilling all camp, having a good time at the beach, huh?” It was all in good fun, though, as Revis enjoyed the ribbing during a mostly sharp first practice Tuesday. He was back with the team after ending a 36-day contract holdout Monday by signing a four-year deal. “It was a breakthrough, I think, just being back on the field,” Revis said, “and getting used to the guys out there, clownin’ and joking.”
U.S. OPEN NEW YORK — Sam Querrey has been ousted from the U.S. Open, meaning no American man will make the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows for the second
FROM 1B around the start of the Chase. He had four-straight finishes outside the top-10 heading into the Chase, and opened the 10-race title deciding format with a disappointing 14th-place finish. “At this stage last year, we were pointing downhill,” Stewart said, “and now we’re pointing uphill.” That’s a good thing for NASCAR, which needs Stewart to be competitive to keep interest piqued. He’s no Dale Earnhardt Jr. in terms of fan popularity, and his star isn’t as bright as four-time champions Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. But with his super-sized personality — and temper — he keeps things interesting and is one of the few drivers who can legitimately mix it up at every race track on the circuit. It was interesting earlier this season to watch individual drivers take their turn dominating the series. First it was Johnson, winner of three of the first five races and back-to-back victories in June. Then Denny Hamlin reeled off five wins in 10 races, and Kevin Harvick put up a steady string of consistent finishes, along with three victories, to take command of the points standings. But it all lacked the oomph that Stewart packs. Win, lose or crash trying, with

COLLEGE HOOPS STORRS, Conn. — Connecticut filed its response Tuesday to allegations of major recruiting violations in its men’s basketball program, but won’t make that response public this week. The NCAA conducted a 15-month investigation of the basketball program after a report by Yahoo! Sports in March 2009 that former team manager Josh Nochimson
Stewart in the mix, everything is amped up another level. Of course, that slump he carried into the Chase last year followed him into this season and prevented Stewart from making much noise on or off the track. In fact, when he left Richmond three months ago, a lap down and with a noncompetitive 23rd-place finish, he fully admitted he and crew chief Darian Grubb were “in the Twilight Zone” when it came to their cars, their setups and their overall direction at Stewart-Haas Racing. “We’re confused,” Stewart said a few days after Richmond. “Darian and I are both confused with what’s going on and why it’s going on.” It was much of the same the next week at Darlington, another 23rd-place finish and a lap down from the winner, but it’s been game-on since late May as Stewart has steadily turned it around. Stewart has finished outside the top-10 only three times in the 14 races since Darlington, a span in which he criticized his fellow competitors for “idiotic” restarts after a third-place finish at Pocono and vowed to raise his game another level. “For anybody that’s looking for drama for the next couple races, start looking cause I can promise I’m going to start making the highlight reel the next couple weeks,” Stewart said in June. That’s the kind of chutzpah NASCAR needs, and Stewart is capable of deliver-

NBA MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks have signed second-round draft pick Darington Hobson. The 6-foot-7, 210-pound junior was taken 37th overall out of New Mexico in this year’s draft. Hobson averaged 16.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists over three college seasons.
ing on a regular basis. He’s not nearly as polarizing as Kyle Busch, who brings a weekly diet of vim and vigor to each track. But it could be said that Busch learned much of his behaviors from Stewart, who was NASCAR’s resident Bad Boy when young Kyle was still in high school. And while Stewart can still be a cantankerous hothead, his delivery is far more refined than Busch, who makes more missteps than Stewart ever did in his early days of railing against the establishment. With two titles already under his belt, the 2002 championship under the old points system and the second, in 2005, under the Chase format, Stewart could be the one driver capable of dethroning Johnson’s run of four consecutive Cups. Although Harvick, Gordon, Busch, Hamlin and Carl Edwards are certainly capable contenders, all have questions marks spanning anything from equipment reliability, maturity, performance capabilities and past experience — all of which will be needed to beat Johnson during a final 10-week run. If Grubb and Co. truly have Stewart back on the right track — and it sure looked that way after Stewart lead a racehigh 176 laps and overcoming a series of poor restarts to hold off Edwards and Johnson at Atlanta — he just might very well be the guy who turns the heat up over the final three months.

burst in them? It sure is going to be fun finding out. A quick look at some of the things to look for as the push for October heats up: • BEST RACES: At the risk of being labeled with the dreaded East Coast bias, the two most intriguing division races in a league full of them are taking place there. AL East: The World Series champion Yankees hold a slim lead on the youthful Rays in a matchup that oozes star power. Two best records, and possibly the two best teams, in baseball duking it out. NL East: The Braves are clinging to their edge on the Philadelphia Phillies, who are just finally starting to get healthy as they pursue a third straight NL pennant. • BIG SERIES: Plenty of showdowns are on the horizon, which means there are plenty of opportunities to make up ground quickly. Twins at White Sox Sept. 14-16 Last scheduled meeting of the season for AL Central rivals. Rays at Yankees Sept. 20-23 A four-game, intradivisional matchup in September?!? Is this heaven? No, it’s Longoria. Padres at Giants Oct. 1-3 May not matter if Padres can’t stop the September skid that hit 10 losses in a row on Sunday. Phillies at Braves, Oct. 1-3 As long as either team is within three games, last series of season will decide NL East. • SPOILER ALERT!: As the season comes to a close, plenty of teams have been out of it for months. But they aren’t quitting, and that feistiness could prove to be problematic for contenders that think they might have easy wins with these guys on the schedule: Baltimore Orioles: Sank to their customary place at the bottom of AL East quickly, going 32-73 under manager Dave Trembley and interim skipper Juan Samuel. Started out 19-13 since Buck Showalter took over and are fresh off taking two of three from Tampa Bay. They play nine games against Yankees and Rays down the stretch. “Spoiler or anything, we’re going out there looking to win some games,” Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis said. “That’s the main objective here, and I think we’re on the right path.” Houston Astros: Opened season at 0-8 and went 17-33 in April. Have steadily im-
proved since, winning 11 of last 14, including sweeps of Phillies and Cardinals. Look out Reds, you play the Astros six times in final two weeks. • SPARK PLUGS: It seems like every year a player or two emerges from relative obscurity or arrives from another team to jump-start a playoff push. Here are a few candidates who could fill that role this season: Aroldis Chapman, RHP, Reds: Cuban flame-thrower is hitting 103 mph on the radar gun and blowing hitters away. Like David Price for the Rays in 2008 and Francisco Rodriguez for the Angels in 2002, could be next September call-up to dominate in the postseason. Roy Oswalt, RHP, Phillies: Since coming over from Houston in a trade, is 4-1 with a 1.89 ERA in seven starts to give Doc Halladay an imposing sidekick. Manny Ramirez, DH, White Sox: South Siders hoping he can do for them what he did for Los Angeles two years ago, when he hit .396 with 17 HRs in 53 games to carry the Dodgers into the playoffs after being acquired from Boston. At 38, does he have another stretch like that in him? Danny Valencia, 3B, Twins: Rookie from Miami definitely has that ’U’ swagger in him. Has solidified a shaky spot for Twins by hitting .343 with .382 OBP and .454 slugging while playing superb defense in 63 games since June callup. • KEY INJURIES: They always play a role in September as the grind of the long season takes its toll. Playing through pain, and avoiding the serious injuries, could be the key to success. Cliff Lee, LHP, Rangers: Ace, and proven playoff stud, has not been himself since being acquired from Seattle. Back injury has contributed to 03, 9.00 ERA in last four starts. Is set to miss scheduled start on Tuesday. Josh Hamilton, OF, Rangers: One of AL’s leading MVP candidates injured ribs in weekend series at Minnesota and sounded like he could be out for a while. Justin Morneau, 1B, Twins: Has been out since July 7 with a concussion. Team is not rushing him back and there is growing concern that time is running out for him to return this season. Andy Pettitte, LHP, Yankees: One of best postseason pitchers in baseball history has been out since July 19 with strained left groin. Hopes to make rehab start this week and rejoin team as early as this weekend. Chris Young, RHP, Padres: Has been out since April 12 with strained right shoulder. Has made two rehab starts and could be a boon to pitching-rich San Diego. If only he could hit.

Wednesday, Sept. 8 Do all that you can to keep pace with the latest knowledge within your field of endeavor, and you will likely find yourself advancing considerably in the year ahead. Those who possess this kind of expertise are the ones who’ll succeed. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If there is some kind of project you’re anxious to get going, don’t wait on others to start the ball rolling. The sooner you take the initiative yourself, the quicker things will begin to come together. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) —Your productivity could be severely hampered if you allow your activities to be governed by outside influences. If you want to get something done in a timely fashion, block out all frivolous interference. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — This might be a perfect day to start that new project you’ve been anxious to get popping. Temporarily shelve all extraneous involvements and concentrate only on it. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Being in the public eye has a certain appeal to you, and it might be one of those times when you won’t mind doing a bit of showboating for the good of the cause. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Don’t discount what you have to offer, because certain know-how you possess could be of great value to others, as well as yourself. Speak up and offer this special information. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — all individual activities can work out well for you, some greater returns can be generated from certain joint endeavors. If you’re involved in one, make it your priority. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you want to know what the secret is to finding all your relationships harmonious, all you have to do is make sure that you are as cooperative with other parties as they are with you. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Make it a point to get some physical exercise if there is little need to exert your muscles in your job. When you do, it would be preferable if you could do something out in the fresh air. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you find yourself in a gregarious mood, make some plans to do something fun with friends. Don’t sit around and wait for someone to call you. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Domestic issues could occupy the greater portion of your time, yet they aren’t likely to be problems. You’ll simply desire to be around those who are near and dear to you. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Mental restlessness can be gratified through spending some time with friends who also have a strong need for intellectual expression. Seek out friends of this ilk who you’ll enjoy. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Much to your credit, you’ll make sure the resources you have at your disposal aren’t depleted or wasted on frivolous activities. You’ll figure out how to do what you want as inexpensively as possible. United FeatUre Syndicate inc.

Causes for a white tongue Is the suit-split this or that?
Dear Reader: The white coating to which you refer is the result of inflammation of the tiny projections on the surDR. PETER face of your GOTT t o n g u e , caused by dead cells, bacteria and debris. There are several reasons for this generally harmless condition. The first is dehydration. Then there’s excessive alcohol consumption and smoking. You may be a mouth breather, have a bacterial infection, geographic tongue, oral lichen planus, oral thrush or leukoplakia. Or you may have been placed on a medication that has white tongue as a side effect. Oral lichen planus is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder. Oral thrush is a candida infection that causes lesions on the tongue, inner cheeks, roof of the mouth, gums and back of the throat. Your symptoms don’t appear to fit the profile for geographic tongue. Leukoplakia is commonly the result of to-
bacco use, smoked, chewed or used in other forms. It is generally a benign condition but could be precancerous. See your physician, who will examine you and might choose to order testing to determine whether an underlying cause, such as diabetes, is at the root of the problem. Once specific conditions and infections can be ruled out, medication or other treatment might be appropriate. Or he or she might suggest you follow up with your dentist. Dear Dr. Gott: I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis and am presently taking two calcium tablets and one multivitamin for mature adults. Would this help my condition? Dear Reader: Osteoporosis occurs when the normal buildup and breakdown of minerals in healthy bones falls out of balance. The condition is difficult to detect in its early stages, but the first clue is often a bone fracture, loss of height, back pain, stooped shoulders or through a routine bone density (X-ray) study. There are a number of prescription medications; however, as you may be aware, several can lead to osteonecrosis of the jaw and other serious complications. The recommendation for people 51 and older is 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. Vitamin D is of equal importance in order to uti-
lize the calcium and should not exceed 2,000 IU daily for healthy people. Therefore, in answer to your question, it all depends on how much calcium and D is present in the vitamin regimen you are taking. Read the ingredient label. If necessary, switch to combinations of calcium and D available at your local pharmacy in singletablet form. Beyond that, don’t smoke, avoid alcohol, maintain good posture, eat well, and exercise. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Osteoporosis.” 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.

Pearl Buck, who was born in West Virginia in 1892, but lived until 1934 mostly in China and was the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize for Literature, said, “Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.” Many bridge deals have a halfway moment, the trick that could have been played differently and the contract saved (or defeated, if by a defender). In today’s deal, you are in six hearts. After West leads the spade king, how would you proceed? Three spades and four clubs were control-bids (cue-bids), showing firstround controls and slam in-
terest. South won with his spade ace, drew trumps ending in his hand, and played a club to dummy’s queen. But when

East won with the king and returned a diamond, South had reached a halfway moment. Should he take the diamond finesse or play for a 3-3 club break? Knowing that the odds favor a finesse, declarer played his diamond queen — down one. As a winning club finesse didn’t automatically spell success unless West had king-doubleton, South should have drawn trumps ending in the dummy and, at trick four, called for the club six. If West could win with the king, South could check for a 3-3 club split before, if necessary, falling back on the diamond finesse. Here, though, if East won with his king, South could take the next trick with his diamond ace, cash dummy’s two club winners, ruff a spade in his hand, and discard dummy’s second diamond on his club jack.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have a problem with my tongue turning white. I brush the coating off each morning, but by nighttime, I have to do it again. I can’t understand why this happens. It is worse when I eat a lot of sweets. What do I need to do? I like a pink tongue.
