Former mayor of Spencer made suicide attempt BY EMILY FORD eford@salisburypost.com

The former mayor of Spencer attempted to hang herself while a patient at Rowan Regional Medical Center last weekend, sources said. Alicia Waddell Bean was reported Tuesday by multiple sources to be on life support at the hospital. Bean had been a patient at LifeWorks Behavioral Health Center, a part of the hospital specializing in psychiatric care. It was not clear how a psychiatric patient could attempt suicide while in the hospital. An official with NovantHealth,

which owns the hospital, would not comment, citing patient privacy laws. The hospital did not report the attempted suicide to Salisbury Police. Chief Police Rory Collins said police tried Monday to investigate the report of an incident at the hospital, BEAN but employees said they could not discuss the situation due to patient privacy laws. Collins said police have a right to

investigate to rule out foul play, and he has asked the N.C. Attorney General’s Office for a ruling in the matter. “If the attorney general is aware of a legal obligation for us to report, then we welcome that information and will revise our policies accordingly,” Robin Baltimore, Novant director of public relations and marketing, said in an e-mail. “Again, we are not aware of any federal or state statute or regulation that would require reporting at this time.” State and federal laws impose stringent confidentiality requirements on hospitals, Baltimore said. “As a general rule, hospitals are

not allowed to share confidential information about patients without the patient’s authorization,” she said. There are exceptions to that general rule, including notifying law enforcement in situations where the law requires reporting, she said. “If there are no legal obligations to report, then the hospital may not report,” Baltimore said. Spencer police attempted Friday to serve an order for Bean’s arrest, stemming from an incident in May 2009 when she held law enforcement officers at bay with a gun at her Spencer home. Officers had responded to a suicide threat. Bean, 42 at the time, was taken

into custody and placed in a state mental hospital. Upon her release from the hospital, Bean was charged with assaulting law enforcement officers. She was released on $5,000 secured bond in December 2009. Conditions of her release required her to live with her mother in Salisbury. The terms were amended last month to allow Bean to live with her sister in Spencer. Last week, the Rowan County District Attorney’s Office alleged Bean violated the terms of her release by living alone.

After unlucky breaks, McCullough remains dedicated to youth football

LEVELAND — Mike McCullough and his wife, Dicy, have a funny story from the motorcycle accident in 1981 that broke every bone in his left leg. McCullough was returning from a youth football meeting in Statesville, headed for the home he and Dicy had established as newlyweds in Salisbury. The accident happened at Majolica Road near Hendrix Barbecue. As McCullough was lying in a ditch, barely conscious and not making much sense, a woman came up to him and asked whether there was anyone she could contact while they waited for an ambulance to arrive.

Mourners remember Concord chief’s daughter CONCORD (AP) — The man accused of killing a police chief’s daughter and dumping her body in a self-storage unit said Tuesday he would not fight his return to North Carolina, as mourners in her hometown remembered her smile and penchant for making people laugh. More than 500 people crammed into First Presbyterian Church to pay tribute to 23-year-old Valerie Hamilton. Friends remembered her joking nature, whether on the softball field, in the high school band, or at her job teaching children how to swim. If anyone was upset, she’d tell a joke to break the tension. “Making people smile was very important to her,” said Beth Pinto, her high school guidance counselor and church youth director, who recalled a holiday event about six years ago when the teens were making gingerbread houses. Not Hamilton. She made a “shack” while smearing the peanut but-

ter and marshmallow cream on her face to make a gingerbread person. “She was just full of life. If you gave her an assignment, she’d put her own twist on it,” Pinto said. Hamilton was seen leaving a Charlotte tavern early last WednesHAMILTON day morning with her accused killer, Michael Neal Harvey, 34, police said. It appears the woman left voluntarily with Harvey, and the Charlotte Observer reported that her friend Ashley Barton, 20, said Hamilton called her just after 3 a.m. and asked her to come over to join her and a friend in the hot tub at Valerie’s apartment complex. Barton declined. By Thurs-

Fibrant, the city of Salisbury’s new fiber optic utility, has announced prices, fees and more than 460 TV channels. Salisbury City Council on Tuesday approved the rates, which Fibrant officials say are 7 to 10 percent lower than their competitors’ published prices. The new communications system will offer stateof-the-art phone, TV and Internet services and plans to go live with paying customers in October. “You won’t be able to get people hooked up fast enough,” council Paul member Woodson said. Bundling the three services brings down the price for each. The Essential TV package, which has more than 125 channels, bundled with internet and telephone, costs $125 a month. Fibrant offers six TV packages. The cheapest, FirstStep, includes two set-top boxes for $37 per month. Five other TV packages each include a digital video recorder and one set-top box for $65 to $149 per month. Standard residential internet speeds will be 15 megabits per second for uploads and downloads, the fastest in North Carolina, council member Pete Kennedy said. For $20 more per month, Fibrant will bump up the speed to 25 megabits per second.

The owners of Bojangle’s on East Innes Street want to purchase additional land owned by the city so they can rebuild and realign the restaurant to improve traffic flow. The city has received an offer from MFW Associates to purchase a parcel of land on South Arlington Street for $164,874, City Manager Dave Treme said Tuesday night. City Council agreed to authorize an upset bid process, the first step toward making the sale. MFW Associates proposes to purchase roughly 1.28 acres from the city between East Innes and Arlington streets, bound to the east by Town Creek. Owners propose to remove the existing Bojangle’s and reorient the store parallel to Arlington Street, City Planning Director Joe Morris said. They would wrap the drive-through around the restaurant and move the driveway back toward Kmart, he said. Additional land obtained in the purchase would allow MFW Associates to build a bridge across Town Creek, Morris said. The proposal would help alleviate drive-through congestion and could mean additional development, he said. “There are some public benefits associated with the sale of this property,” he said. Owners would invest up to $950,000 in construction, and the new restaurant would employ 30 to 35 people, including 15 full-time workers, Treme

2A • WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 2010 No other utility rates were changed. While council must approve Fibrant rate changes, the new ordinance allows the utility’s marketing and sales manager to establish rates for businesses with internet or telephone service that requires special equipment. Management needed that latitude and flexibility to help “pick up large businesses,” Sofley said. Council member Maggie Blackwell thanked city staff for soliciting and incorporating suggestions from the council. Fibrant leaders met with council members two at a time so they never had a quorum, which would have required a public meeting. Council member Brian Miller said Fibrant will improve service for Salisbury residents and keep funds in the community. Fibrant aims to have a 30 percent market share, or 4,400 households, in four years. City Manager Dave Treme said Salisbury has “many adversaries” in the new endeavor, but “I feel like we are overcomers.” The city will compete with Time Warner Cable, AT&T and satellite services for customers. Treme said businesses already have moved to Salisbury in anticipation of Fibrant’s nearly unlimited bandwidth. Companies that send and receive large files such as x-rays have shown interest, he said. “This is going to make a difference in the future of the economic vitality of our community,” Treme said. Fibrant will be available in front of every house within the city limits, he said. Customers who agree to stay with Fibrant for at least one year will not have to pay the $360 standard installation fee. To see Fibrant’s rate sheet and channel guide, visit www. salisburypost.com.

A hearing was set for Sept. 16 in Rowan County Superior Court. Bean is charged with failure to appear, and the secured bond was set at $50,000. Chief Michael James, Sgt. Martin Brigman and Officer Jeremy Crews on Friday went to Bean’s home to serve the order for arrest but learned

RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s Court of Appeals says a retired Eden police officer must repay $174,000 in pension checks he received after taking a new law enforcement job nearby. The Court of Appeals agreed Tuesday with the state retirement system and lower courts that Gary Lawrence Walker couldn’t receive his government pension while getting paid as a full-time officer and later as

police chief in Stoneville until 2007. Walker argued he shouldn’t be punished for what he called misrepresentations by town officials that he could keep getting his monthly pension from 1996 to 2006. Appeals Court Judge Ann Marie Calabria wrote the court was distressed to rule against Walker but that someone failed to communicate in Walker’s case.

from her mother that Bean was not there, James said. The order was never served. Bean held elected office in Spencer for six years — two years as alderman, two as mayor pro tem and two as mayor. She opted not to seek reelection in 2007, saying she wanted to spend more time with her young daughter. Contact Emily Ford at 704797-4264.

FROM 1a said. The new facility would generate more than $2 million in annual sales and pay $5,000 to $6,000 annually in property tax. The current tax value of the property is $446,056, and the appraised value is $279,000. City Council members said they are willing to take less than the appraised value because much of the land is located within the floodway. The Bojangle’s owners are the only people likely to be interested in the irregularly shaped lot, Treme said. Any development during tough economic times is exciting, Mayor Susan Kluttz said. The project will retain jobs at the restaurant and create new construction jobs, council member Pete Kennedy said. The proposal would retain an occupied structure at the city’s eastern gateway, Mayor Pro Tem Maggie Blackwell said. “Realigning that restaurant is great,” council member Paul Woodson said. “I have a terrible time getting out of there.” Council member Brian Miller also supported the sale and recommended that proceeds be used for redevelopment in the same area. Other development planned for the area includes a $15 to $18 million hotel project by Courtyard Marriott behind Blue Bay restaurant, which should start construction in January, and a new restaurant planned for the area behind the service station near I-85, Morris said. Contact Emily Ford at 704-7974264.

“We’re quite capable of doing a lot more than that, but as the standard, it’s the fastest in the state,” said Len Clark, marketing director for Fibrant. Fibrant has the capability to deliver speeds up to 1 gigabit per second, he said. “Today, nobody needs a gigabit,” he said. “Applications that would use a gigabit have not been invented yet.” For businesses, Fibrant offers a dedicated IP address at 3 megabits per second for $255 per month, among other services. By comparison, the T-1 standard commercial connection that most businesses use can do 1.5 megabits per second, Clark said. Fibrant offers 100 high-definition TV channels, 25 Hispanic channels and 50 music channels. Soon the utility will add integrated internet TV service, games, widgets, teleconferencing and more, Clark said. Telephone service is one price, $45 per month, unless bundled with another service. Phone service includes 17 calling features, compared with nine to 10 features from competitors, Clark said. Fibrant subscribers can keep their number. Council approved an ordinance Tuesday setting fees and charges for Fibrant broadband services and revising utility penalties. All city utilities, including water and sewer service, now have one late fee, said John Sofley, management services director for the city. If payment is not received within 24 hours of the bill date, the account is delinquent and a fee of 1.5 percent is added, with no maximum amount. The new late fee becomes effective Friday.

Cabarrus wants lower kill rate for shelter

www.salisburypost.com

HERE IS THE STEEPLE

BY HUGH FISHER hfisher@salisburypost.com

CONCORD — Tensions remain high in the drive to reduce the number of cats and dogs put to sleep in Cabarrus’ animal shelter. That figure currently stands at 80 percent, according to County Commissioner Bob Carruth. He chairs the Animal Protection and Preservation Advisory Committee, to which the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners appointed new members Monday. They include: • Marsha Hahn of Cabarrus CARES, to complete an unexpired term ending June 30, 2012; • Ann Cannon of Cabarrus Pets Society, for a oneyear term ending June 30, 2011; • Mike Sims, appointed to an at-large seat for a one-year term ending June 30, 2011; • Elizabeth Stamey, at-large, for a two-year term ending June 30, 2012; • Jeff Daniels, to a two-year term ending June 30, 2012. Last month, commissioners voted to expand the group in response to an outcry over shelter kill rates. Now chaired by Carruth, the committee includes representatives from Animal Control and local animal rescue groups, as well as citizens in at-large seats. During public comment at Monday’s board meeting, some said they were disappointed the county had not already adopted a no-kill policy based on information they had given commissioners. “Dogs and cats are still dying in the gas chamber in Cabarrus County,” said Brian Romans of Salisbury, representing the animal rights group Justice for Bella. resident Local Tamara Gaspar asked that she be added to the committee. PATSY BEEKER "I have experienced Cabarrus Cares and Kitty the failure of our curCat adoption groups rent system,” she said. Jessica Juba of Justice for Bella said the public may not be adopting from the Cabarrus shelter now because of the high kill rate. "It shouldn't be the problem of the community to fix this problem,” she said. “Saying we just want to reduce the killing doesn't inspire communities." Several said they had provided materials and a draft plan to commissioners, who could have already voted on a plan. Others questioned the committee’s makeup. "Rescue groups are not a part of the no-kill core. ... I am confused as to why they are a part of this,” Cabarrus resident Bobby Parke said. Judy Sims, the new executive director and CEO of the Greater Cabarrus Humane Society, countered by praising those who “roll up their sleeves” to save animals. "There's a lot that's been said about the bad things that are happening at Animal Control, but we don't hear much about the good things,” Sims said.

“While they’re on their phones and Facebook pages, we’re in the trenches with dog crap on our shoes and kitty litter under our nails.”

Couple steals Breathe Right strips from area drug stores The Breathe Right bandits have struck again. For their latest target, the pair hit a Walgreens on East Innes Street. According to the Salisbury Police Department, a man and woman have been going around to various Walgreens locations and stealing Breathe Right strips, which the manufacturer says provide relief from snoring and congestion. The thefts have been such a problem that Walgreens sent memos with descriptions and pictures of the suspects to each of its stores, asking clerks to keep an eye out for the two. The clerk working Sunday night when the suspects entered the store recognized them and watched closely, but they got away. Police said the clerk checked the shelf where the store displays the Breathe Right strips, and sure enough, numerous boxes were missing. The Salisbury Police Department and other departments are investigating.

Summit to explain link between health and technology B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Local health care officials will explain at an event Thursday how Rowan and two other counties will benefit from a $15.9 million federal grant to improve care for people with certain diseases through technology. Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan/Beacon Community will host the health care technology summit from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Thursday at the Salisbury Train Station, 215 Depot St. The technology summit is open to the public. The Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan in Concord has been selected as one of 15 pilot sites nationwide for the Beacon Communities program. It is the only site in North Carolina named to take

part in the initiative. The government awarded a total of $220 million from federal stimulus funding. The Community Care Plan received the funds for its planned work with Medicaid recipients in Cabarrus, Rowan and Stanly counties, largely through the exchange of electronic health records via health departments. The grant will be spent over the course of three years. Among those expected to attend Thursday are Rowan County Health Department Director Leonard Wood and Rowan Regional Medical Center President Dari Caldwell, who will speak at the summit. Also expected to speak are Dr. Erron Towns, a physician with Salisbury Pediatric Associates and medical director for Southern Piedmont Community

Care Plan, and Sean Sanz, chief operating officer for Rowan Regional Medical Center. In addition, a panel of local, state and national leaders will discuss how Rowan County is equipped to lead in improving patient outcomes through information technology. Cindy Oaks, director of the Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan, told the Rowan Board of Health recently how the plan will work with Rowan, Cabarrus and Stanly counties to assist with the medical care of Medicaid-eligible patients. As of August, 22,560 Rowan County residents received Medicaid benefits. “We have very specific population health goals to achieve which include reaching patients with chronic

conditions such as diabetes, COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), IVD (intervertebral disc disease), hypertension and asthma,” said Whitney Baker, communications coordinator for Southern Piedmont Community Care Plan. Other goals, she said, include reducing preventable hospital readmissions and reducing the number of emergency department visits for non-emergencies. Baker said in order to achieve those goals, Southern Piedmont will work with each county, investing money into the counties’ health information technology systems to make data sharing easier and improve overall quality, safety and efficiency of health care.

Hamilton was her best friend, as they lived and waited tables together after high school. Recently, they went tubing down the river, and it was Hamilton who insisted on using the “toddler tubes.” “She was very spunky. She had a hunger for life,” Smith said. In New York at Harvey’s court hearing, his mother broke into tears. Neither his family nor his attorney, Michael White, spoke to reporters as they left the courtroom. In court documents, Harvey told authorities he was adopted by his grandparents at age 3 because his mother abused drugs. He earned his high school equivalency diploma in 1993 at Moriah Shock Boot Camp in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, a facility for young offenders. Harvey told authorities he first drank alcohol at age 7. At age 12, he began smoking marijuana, which he would smoke daily until he was 28, he said. He tried cocaine for the first time at 13 and used amphetamines and hallucinogens in his teens, though he says he stopped using those years ago. He did heroin at 18 and first smoked crack at age 30, according to a January 2008 pre-sentencing report for violating his probation.

In 1996, he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse in New York and was on probation in North Carolina after his 2006 conviction on charges that he failed to register as a sex offender. At the time of the 2008 pre-sentencing report, he had been homeless for a year and admitted using heroin several times since leaving drug rehab. He was sentenced to three years of supervised probation and the judge recommended he live in a halfway house, though he was assessed as having a medium-to-high risk of re-offending. His mother, Rose Harvey, told authorities he was a “great student, very smart, but often got bored in school.” In January 2008, she described her son, the father of a young daughter who lives with her mother, as a “passionate, caring, family man.” In June 2009, he was convicted of felony breaking and entering — for stealing golf clubs, power tools and other property the year before — and received a suspended sentence. This year, he was indicted on three charges from the Charlotte metro area — possession of a firearm by a felon, possession with intent to sell heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia, specifically needles and baggies.

FROM 1a day, friends and family grew worried when they didn’t hear from Hamilton. Police said in a news release Tuesday that detectives found evidence of drug usage and witnesses indicated that although alive, Hamilton appeared to need immediate medical attention. The suspect did not seek professional medical attention for Hamilton after being prompted by several witnesses, police said. It wasn’t immediately clear what the drug usage evidence was and a police spokesman refused to answer follow-up questions. Police said Harvey killed Hamilton and dumped her body before fleeing to Niagara Falls, where he grew up. He was arrested there Monday. Hamilton’s boss at Little Otter Swim School in Charlotte said hundreds of children know how to swim because of Hamilton. The children would stop crying when she was around, said co-owner John Kirk, recalling that she liked to loudly sing children’s songs, which the kids loved. She had worked there for three years. Madison Smith said

Carolinas get high marks on health emergency plans RALEIGH (AP) — Improvements in nationwide readiness for emergencies like bioterrorism or pandemic flu praised by a new report may already be in jeopardy, thanks to dwindling budgets and shrinking staffs. A report released Tuesday by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the country’s overall preparedness for such emergencies has improved, including in both North and South Carolina, which got high marks in everything from laboratory capabilities to getting the word out to the public. “Much progress has been made to build and strengthen national public health preparedness and response capabilities,” the report says. But the report measures state activities between Oct. 1, 2007, and Sept. 30, 2008, before the worst effects of the Great Recession began to hit state and local budgets. “This is not the state of preparedness as it exists in real time today,” said Jack Herrmann, senior advisor on public health preparedness for the National Association of County and City Health Officials. In some cases, preparedness has improved, thanks to new procedures devised to address the threat of the H1N1

flu last year, he said. But in many instances, reduced funding and shrunken public health staffs mean preparedness has likely taken a step backwards. “As cuts continue happening to everybody’s budgets, we’re losing manpower. We’re losing our overall ability to respond,” said Jim Beasley, spokesman for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. “It makes it harder to respond to a widespread emergency if you don’t have the people in place to actually administer the shots or give out the pills,” he said. The CDC report notes that federal funding for public health emergency readiness has declined every year since 2005. From a high of $970 million for state and local health departments in 2003, the funding had shrunk to $689 million in public health emergency preparedness money dispensed in 2009. A survey released in May by the National Association of County and City Health Officials found that from January 2008 to December 2009, local health departments lost about 23,000 jobs to layoffs and attrition, about 15 percent of the total work force. The job losses sped up in

2009, after most of the data in the CDC report was compiled, with 46 percent of local health departments experiencing budget-related job cuts between June and December. “If we continue to furlough people and lay people off, it will make a dent in our ability to respond,” said Dr. Julie Casani, director of public health preparedness at the North Carolina Division of Public Health. “I think we’re going to be able to do it, but it’s going to get dicey.” The states got points from the CDC for the capabilities of their public health labs and for the overall state of planning for emergencies: South Carolina scored a 93 and North Carolina a 98 in the latter category, which requires a score of at least 69 to be considered acceptable.

FROM 1A said his wife. “Sir,” the woman said, “who do you want me to call first, your wife or your girlfriend?” It’s the only thing the McCulloughs can really laugh about concerning the accident and two others that would come in the years ahead. One thing’s for sure. Mike McCullough’s passion for kids and youth football is no accident. 



Delores Waller’s sons, now 28 and 23, played for McCullough. He also was coach for her grandson, now in the seventh grade. “What more can I say?” Waller says. “He’s such an inspiration.” Waller says at the season’s first practice, West Rowan Middle School Coach Erich Epps usually asks one question: “How many of you come from Mike McCullough?” She says McCullough teaches values to the kids. “If you got in trouble at school, you got in trouble with Coach McCullough,” Waller remembers. His truck was always loaded down with boys at the end of practice that he was taking home, she adds, and “I cannot think of one child who does not respect this man.” 



The physical damage from his motorcycle accident kept McCullough out of work for four years. He required all kinds of skin grafts and pins to hold his left leg together. There also was a problem with healing and constant drainage. McCullough eventually left his job with Thomas & Howard in Statesville and started his career with the Head Start program in Salisbury, where he still works. He taught for 12 years before becoming a program administrator. But McCullough suffered another setback in 1987 when a drunken driver hit the van he was driving at the same spot where his motorcycle accident had happened six years earlier. Incredibly, he was traveling home from a youth football meeting — this time at the Salisbury Mall. The other driver was killed. The collision broke all the bones in McCullough’s left leg again. But this time a shoulder was displaced. His

Dr. Charles Lockert, the same physician who first treated McCullough after his motorcycle accident, was the doctor on call at the emergency room the night of his second accident. Dicy McCullough says Lockert could only give her a hug when they first saw each other at the hospital. McCullough thinks he was lucky not to be wearing his seat belt that day. His driver’s seat was split in two from the force of the head-on collision, and the impact sent him into the back of the van. Dicy McCullough describes her husband’s ankle as a bag of bones, but throughout what now seems a lifetime of dealing with his injured leg, Mike has resisted several doctor recommendations to amputate or at least fuse his ankle. The second accident put him out of work for two years, but Head Start kept his job for him. Only four years ago, on the fifth-grade practice field, one of his tackled players rolled up from behind him, and McCullough broke his left leg for the third time. But Dicy thinks regular appointments to a specialized wound clinic in Concord and a new alternative regimen of vitamins and supplements have put the leg in its best shape since 1981. “The leg is starting to heal from the inside out,” Dicy says. McCullough, 55, wears a special boot on his left foot to go with a brace. Because of the expense, he buys one new shoe a year, Dicy says. “He has such strong will,” she adds. “I live with him, and I’m amazed.” 

have two daughters, Kristin and Kelly. Kristin played football for McCullough as a fourth-grader. She also was a cheerleader. “We snuck her on the field on special teams,” McCullough says. Kristin is married now to one of McCullough’s former players, and they are expecting their first child in February. It’s going to be a grandson for McCullough. You already know what he’s thinking.

On a recent evening at the West Rowan athletic complex, McCullough was able to look over the two baseball diamonds that double as football fields and see four different teams going through drills and plays, preparing for a new Youth Football League season. The same scene was being played out in different parts of the county. Back in the mid 1980s, McCullough was one of the handful of men in Rowan County who refused to let youth football die. He served as an original board member for the YFL, substitute for a faltering Gra-Y program. McCullough helped to organize teams, find coaches and raise money for equipment, and over the years, he coached and became the man most identified with youth football in western Rowan County. Today, the Rowan County Youth Football League has 16 teams and 550 kids participating, making it one of the larger youth football programs in North Carolina. Coming off two straight YFL Super Bowl championships with his undefeated teams of fifth- and sixthgraders, Coach McCullough does not have a team of his own this year for the first time in decades. He’s not complaining, happy to have all the parents willing to coach and content to supervise things four nights a week at practice and on Saturday game days. “Now I’m the equipment man again,” he says. At practices, McCullough usually carries his stool out to where the teams of thirdand fourth-graders are scrimmaging and going through drills. Still wearing a whistle, he’ll often get up and meander into their huddles with instructions or confer with the coaches. And when McCullough needs to find someone — no matter what field they’re on — his booming voice is better than any public address system.

Founded in Security Built by Service



Several of the current YFL coaches — Nolan Hampton and Allen Coren among them — have assisted McCullough for many years. “I try filling in where I’m needed,” Hampton says. “I’m here for the kids.” Hampton says McCullough always finds a sponsor to help kids play if they can’t afford the $90 cost for the league. McCullough also taught the boys through the years about giving back — a reason why players off his teams from years ago are now youth football coaches today. “That’s what Mike was all about, getting the boys involved,” Hampton says. McCullough grew up in Statesville and played all manner of sports — such as football, basketball and track. He credits his parents for never saying “no” and making sure he reached all the practice fields on time. He started coaching elementary school football players in 1976, while he was attending Mitchell College, and has coached youth football ever since. “If you can’t continue on (playing), you’ve got to coach,” McCullough says. He thinks there is some merit in the notion that a strong youth program has a positive influence on middle school and high school football programs later. “I’ve always thought that way, but I can’t prove it,” McCullough says. Numerous players on twotime defending state champion West Rowan High School’s football team first played the game in the YFL. Today’s West Rowan youth football program has 101 players and 28 cheerleaders. All the adults, such as McCullough, are volunteers. McCullough and Dicy

Jalisco ballet Folklorico Guadalupano will perform at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival.

La Fiesta de Rowan this weekend B Y S HAVONNE P OTTS spotts@salisburypost.com

Organizers are gearing up for the annual La Fiesta de Rowan this weekend. The event is in its eighth year and is a chance to learn about Hispanic cultures. The event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. is free and open to the public at the Salisbury Civic Center, 315 S. Martin Luther King Jr. Ave. The event also celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month, which is Sept. 15-Oct. 15. It is hosted by the Salisbury Rowan Hispanic Coalition, a subgroup of the SalisburyRowan Human Relations Council. There will be a host of activities, food and entertainment. Orquesta Mayor, a group formed in Charlotte that fea-

tures a number of musicians and singers, will perform at 1 p.m. Ballet Folklorico Guadalupano, traditional Mexican dancers from Asheboro, will perform at 2:30 p.m. A dance competition wil take place at 3:30 p.m. Milena Sifuentes, a member of the Salisbury-Rowan Hispanic Coalition, said participants can sign up for the dance competition the day of the event. The contest has two age groups: teens starting at 13 and adults starting at 18. Local agencies will also be on hand to discuss their services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most important thing, that we share information with the public. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my main concern, that we educate families on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available in the community,â&#x20AC;? said Maria Nunez,

who is also a part of the Hispanic Coalition. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival offers new activities and attractions, such as appearances by Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob and free dental exams on the Colgate dental bus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be nice. Every year we try to add something new,â&#x20AC;? Nunez said. Wacky Doo the Clown and McGruff the Crime Dog will also be at the festival. A number of food vendors will set up at the event including La Ceiba, a local restaurant that will have Salvadoran cuisine. La Fiesta de Rowan is sponsored by the Salisbury Rowan Human Relations Council, Food Lion, Rowan Regional Medical Center, Best Buy and F&M Bank. For more information, call 704-638-2168.

She invited all those present to spend a day volunteering with them at the shelter. Patsy Beeker of rescue group Cabarrus CARES and the Kitty City cat adoption group, said activist groups like Justice for Bella are not helping solve the problem. "While they're on their phones and Facebook pages, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the trenches with dog crap on our shoes and kitty litter under our nails,â&#x20AC;? Beeker said. And she defended those Animal Control officers who, she said, are the ones who have to deal with injured, abused and abandoned animals on a daily basis. "We have good rescue organizations in our community saving lives,â&#x20AC;? Beeker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Please work with us, not against us." The appointments passed on a 4-1 vote. Commissioner Coy Privette opposed the measure due to a misdemeanor charge pending against nominee Jeff Daniels for communicating threats to a law enforcement officer. County Attorney Richard Koch said he believed that a conviction on this charge would not prevent Daniels from serving on the committee. Before the vote, a motion by Privette to withhold Daniels' name from consideration died without a second. Later in the meeting, Carruth described the most recent task force meeting, where representatives of rescue and animal rights groups discussed their positions in what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a frank exchange of ideas.â&#x20AC;?

"I've dug through the principles of the no-kill program,â&#x20AC;? Carruth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There's not a single principle in there that I disagree with." White said the county would have to decide the most humane way to help animals who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adoptable because of medical problems or dangerous temperament. "When we're talking about no-kill, what's the best way to deal with those animals?" White asked.

"It is a daunting task to pull people who have not always worked well together,â&#x20AC;? Carruth said. He said the most important thing to do at first is to find out how to bring a fulltime adoption director on board. Then, he said, the county needed to take up a no-kill policy. After that, Carruth said, more positive developments could follow.

Fire destroys outbuilding at car dealership Fire burned an outbuilding at a South Main Street car dealership early Monday. According to the Salisbury Police Department, the building at Southern Motors was valued at $5,000, and it had $2,000 worth of property stored inside. The first firefighters arrived at the business three minutes after the call came in, and they extinguished the fire in four minutes. All Salisbury fire departments, Granite Quarry and Locke fire departments responded. Police say firefighters did not find evidence of accelerants. The cause of the fire had not been determined Tuesday. The outbuilding belongs to Robert Boone, who owns Southern Motors at 1605 S. Main St.

CRIME ROUNDUP Woman reports man seen running from her house A Salisbury woman drove her daughter to school Friday morning and returned home to see a man running out of her house. According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, Mayra Rubio of Peach Orchard Road came home around 7:30 a.m. and found a man running from the side door of her house around to the back. She called 911 and waited for deputies to arrive. The side door was open and the front door was unlocked when deputies arrived, but deputies could not locate the suspect. Authorities said it appeared nothing was taken from the home. In other Sheriff’s Office reports: • Jeremy Joseph Smith, of Stone Road, reported someone stole a compound bow, range finder, hunting knife, binoculars and other items from his vehicle over the weekend, with items taken valued at $1,015. • Time Warner Cable reported someone broke into one of its vehicles parked on Grandeur Drive, taking a $3,000 trilithic meter and a case for a pocket toner. • Jennifer Grubb of Yount Drive reported someone took an air conditioning unit valued at $200 and an Onan lawn mower engine valued at $2,000 from her home. • The Wilco Hess on Peeler Road reported someone

used two $20 counterfeit bills over the weekend. • Barbara Dixon reported someone broke into her Zion Church Road home, taking $580 worth of items, including prescription pills, her purse, debit and check cards and title to her car. • Phillip Sloop Jr., of Back Creek Church Road, reported someone took a pump motor, grill and two stainless steel tables from an outbuilding on his property. The property taken is valued at $450. • Melvin Matthews of Black Road reported the theft of a 5-gallon gas can, push mower and string trimmer. Property taken is valued at $270. • Alvin Harvell of Sandy Creek Lane reported the theft of a $3,200 air conditioning unit from his home. Investigators ask anyone with information about these thefts to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 704-216-8700.

$96,950 in cash found in Statesville may be stolen The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office Interstate Criminal Enforcement Unit stopped a couple on Interstate 77 on Sept. 15 and found more than $95,000 cash and 1.5 ounces of marijuana. The two residents of Upshire County, W.Va., traveling southbound on Interstate 77, just north of Statesville in a 2002 Dodge Durango, were

stopped for a routine traffic infraction. During the stop, deputies found the marijuana and $96,950 in currency. The driver of the vehicle, James R. Chewning, 44, a resident of Buckhannon, W.Va., was arrested for possession of marijuana. The driver abandoned any interest in the money. Sheriff’s Office officials from Iredell and Upshire counties began communicating about the stop and its possible connection to a break-in in Upshire County, W.Va., on Sept. 12, in which jewelry and the life savings of an elderly resident were taken. There appears to be a correlation between the description of the money seized and the money taken during the theft. The monies seized had already been converted into a check for federal forfeiture. Iredell County authorities were able to stop the processing of the check and the depositing of the money into the Federal Reserve so the money could be processed for evidence. The Iredell County Crime Laboratory, Upshire County Sheriff’s Office and the West Virginia State Police will work jointly in processing all evidence seized during the investigation. If the investigation reveals the money seized did come from the theft in West Virginia, Iredell County authorities will seek a court order directing the money be returned to the victim.

Sept. 20-26 is National Child Passenger Safety Awareness Week in North Carolina. During the week, members of the Highway Patrol will actively enforce all child passenger safety laws across the state. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, an estimated 8,959 lives were saved by child restraints from 1975 to 2008. “The patrol is committed to educating and assisting the public with child passenger safety seats,” said Lt. Colonel Michael W. Gilchrist, deputy commander of the Highway Patrol. “The safest way to transport children is in an approved, weight-appropriate child restraint seat.” It is a violation of North Carolina law to place a rearfacing child passenger safety seat in front of an active airbag. Children are five times safer riding rear-facing than forward-facing into the second year of life. Children under the age of 8 and less than 80 pounds must be properly secured in a weight-appropriate child restraint system. All children under age 5 and less than 40 pounds must be in a child safety seat. Children under age 16 are required to wear a seat belt in both the front and back seats. All drivers, as well as front and back seat passengers, are also required to buckle up. Penalties include two driver’s license points and fines up to $161. Statistics show motor vehicle accidents are the No. 1 cause of death and injury to children in the United States. However, when child safety seats are used correctly, they reduce infant fatalities by 71 percent and toddler fatalities by 54 percent. “Using child safety seats and seat belts are not only the law, it’s also common sense,” said Reuben Young, secretary of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. “As a parent myself, I want to make sure every citizen knows how to properly use a child

REVOLUTIONIZING SCHOOL LUNCH

ASSoCIAted PreSS

Lauren Issaeff and Peter Gorman, chefs at the Unquowa School in Fairﬁeld, Conn., work in tandem to provide fresh sorbet to employees at the school. John turenne has overhauled the type of food served there, moving from processed and packaged items to fresh and local ingredients. BRYNN MANDELL Associated Press

AIRFIELD, Conn. — At first glance, The Unquowa School cafeteria, with its grayish cinder block walls, blue-and-beige linoleum floor and smattering of lunch tables, appears like any other. A closer examination of the kitchen at the private, independent school in Fairfield, however, proves otherwise. Not far from a “Connecticut Grown” sign like those that dapple farms across the state hangs a dryerase board. It recently detailed the origins of the day’s lunch: herbs from the Unquowa kitchen garden; fruit and veggies from Sport Hill Farm up the road; ice cream from Ferris Acres Creamery in Newtown; grass-fed beef from Bridgewater's Stewart Family Farm; the list went on. Over the past five years, the preschool-through-eighth-grade school has transformed its kitchen from one that churned out frozen chicken nuggets that came pounds to the box, to one that at one recent lunch served house-roasted, grassfed beef and caramelized onion sandwiches on rosemary focaccia.

They were served alongside greens tossed with fresh peach vinaigrette and a tricolor spread of heirloom tomato slices, with pieces so red they looked like glistening rubies on a platter. The program at Unquowa is the brainchild of John Turenne, an affable Wallingford married fatherof-three who is at the forefront of a movement to return kitchens to the culinary roots of yesteryear, before big business became a powerful food force and before Americans started making what they perceived as convenient food choices. Ascribing to an “eat local” philosophy may not be novel anymore, but in institutional environments, where potato Tater Tots and dollars drive menu selections, Turenne is a pioneer. Over the past five years, the former director and executive chef of Yale University’s dining program has transformed kitchens like Unquowa’s from places where food is shuffled from box to plate, to places that pride themselves as “farm to fork” cafeterias. He has worked with New Milford Hospital, Litchfield and Region 4 schools — and corporate clients like Unilever — to make

better, if not make over, the way food is served. Clients need not have an endowment the size of Yale’s. In fact, Turenne aims to improve cafeteria food on a budget that doesn’t budge. For Turenne, who attended Johnson & Wales University, it all began in Yale’s dining halls about eight years ago. There, he did the same thing he had at Wesleyan University and, before that, at Choate Rosemary Hall School. He pushed “frozen, processed junk” onto trays, following a formula that involved equal parts budgeting and feeding. That was before Alice Waters — famed “slow food” pioneer and restaurateur behind the Berkley, Calif., restaurant Chez Panisse — arrived on campus. Turenne recalled being summoned to the president's office to

meet a parent with a concern. That parent was Waters. She wanted the university to serve students better food. Turenne was asked to help. And while making the food better and healthier, he couldn't increase costs. Always up for a challenge, Turenne agreed, but not without reservations. “It was all bottom-line driven, dollars and cents as opposed to common sense. I lived and died according to the bottom line, not whether the food was responsible,” Turenne reflected, describing how previously, Yale students had more than a half-dozen hot food choices, a deli bar, a salad bar, five desserts, different soups and so on. “In places where captive audiences have to eat on a regular basis, not surprisingly, people would complain, and it was often of monotony. So we started offering

more choices and the only way to pull this off and not increase staffing was to buy frozen, processed junk.” Turenne pared the menu to about four in-season entrees and side dishes. He focused his staff, telling them: “Let’s put it together in a way that blows everybody’s mind. We used to call it the seduction of taste.” Several thousand students, his own company and many clients later, Turenne has seduced many. He even seduced First Lady Michelle Obama, whose White House chef enlisted Turenne’s company to help design a program called “Chefs Move! to Schools” as part of her anti-obesity campaign. He also won over skeptical Huntington, W.Va., lunch ladies. Earlier this year, Turenne participated in a nationally televised ABC series spearheaded by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, called “Food Revolution.” With cameras rolling, the team invaded a town dubbed one of America's fattest, and took on its eating habits. Turenne was charged with changing the schools, where he con-

fronted cafeteria workers reticent to toss sloppy joes for food made from scratch. Before long, they got cooking. “Now they serve ‘Unquowa fries’ in 23 schools” in West Virginia, said Peter Gorman, a professionally trained chef that Unquowa hired the second year of its new approach. He told this to a recent gathering of faculty, sharing his and Turenne’s activities while encouraging staff to connect classroom lessons to what students eat. “Many kids don't even know carrots grow underground,” Turenne said. Not all schools, hospitals or companies need to take the transition as far as Unquowa, said Turenne, adding even baby steps are successes worth striving toward. To make eating this way economical, he advises using leftovers. For instance, caramelized onions left over from a grilled pizza event became condiments on sandwiches for faculty the next day. Gorman bought all the “second” heirloom tomatoes — discards that wouldn’t sell because of ugly shapes or blemishes but were consumable — to make gallons of tomato sauce. The first three years, the transition to local and organic fare had no impact on the budget, said Unquowa officials. Because of its success, more money was allotted to hire a sous chef and furnish a salad bar. “Techniques we learn as chefs in fine dining restaurants can be applied in school settings,” said Turenne, adding good food can cost more, but crafty technique equalizes costs. “We pay now, or we pay later because our society is getting sick.” Teacher Janice Shannon admitted some students grumbled at first during Unquowa's transition, mainly because they did away with chocolate milk. “We just slowly made changes and now they cannot wait until Peter picks up a new vegetable,” said Shannon, offering as evidence of success how lunchtime trash went from about four bags a day to one bag a week, indicating more consumption. “He’ll grab a new vegetable and ask, ‘What is this?’ It's like a new adventure. It’s not just lunch, it's part of our curriculum.” Lunchtime lectures alongside the clatter of plates are something Head of School Sharon Lauer committed to implement. She sought out Turenne, who created a model that could be adapted elsewhere. “We threw the Frialator out immediately,” said Lauer, describing how students spend one day each fall and spring at a farm. Turenne used to eat the “junk” he served in the days before he started his consulting business, Sustainable Food Systems LLC. Since then, he feels better. “There's a noticeable

change in feeling physically, but also, as importantly, is the emotional belief that what I’m doing is right. Sustainable food, besides being more nutritious, is supporting small business in my community,” he said, adding that if he could change so dramatically, so could others.

Dear Amy: I have a close friend who recently separated from her husband of six years. She has an infant son. My husband and I felt something was amiss when photos of her husband attending events with another woman showed up on social networking sites. My friend confirmed he had been unfaithful. My husband and I have given her our full support. He has helped her look for a job, and I have been there for her. Recently, I heard from several people that the child is not her husband’s and was the result of an affair she had. I am so angry, but I cannot explain why. Is it because I feel taken for a ride? Should she have told me? Is it any of my business anyway? What dif-

ference does it make whose child it is? I don’t hold the affair against her, and the bottom line is that I really care about that little kid. So why am I so angry? — Confused

Dear Furious: I fail to see how dumping your mother permits you to go out “with a blaze of glory.” To me, this act seems the opposite of glorious. The fact is, you could “make nice” with your mother in hopes of receiving an inheritance, and she could choose to leave her money to the local symphony, to restore a panda habitat or to another family member. Your family needs true reconciliation — that is the best and only honest legacy to leave to your children. Faking it for the money will backfire. Aside from the inheritance, if you and your mother are

able to understand one another, everybody wins. You will make progress if you receive professional counseling, to deal with the rape and its aftermath, and to understand your mother’s failings, accept her frailties and, perhaps, come to forgive her.

EQUINOX TODAY

Ready or not, in America it’s autumn Mourning Ad attacks Obama with new weapon: sadness he autumnal equinox — it’s also permissible to call it the fall equinox, just not as cool — is upon us again. That’s when the sun is directly over the equator and the days and nights are roughly of equal length. It is also the traditional start of fall, although every American knows that fall begins when everybody has to go back to work or school after Labor Day weekend. The National Weather Service says fall starts Sept. 1. It’s good to have a choice in these matters. The U.S. Naval Observatory in the national capital says the equinox is at 11:09 pm EDT Wednesday, Sept. 22. But purists say it really occurs at 3:09 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, as measured by Coordinated Universal Time, a measure that closely tracks Greenwich Mean Time. We’re sticking with the U.S. Navy. From our Earth-centric point of view here in the northern hemisphere, the sun appears to be heading south, setting earlier and earlier each night and rising later and later each morning. It’s worse at the North Pole. The autumnal equinox means it going to be dark all the time. The lengthening darkness is punctuated briefly by another measure, the end of daylight saving on Sunday, Nov. 7. By an agreed-upon willing suspension of disbelief, we fool ourselves into thinking we’re getting an extra hour of daylight and our body clocks into thinking we’re getting an extra hour of sleep simply by setting the clock back an hour. For whatever that says about us, it works. The days will be briefest and the nights are longest around Dec. 21, the winter solstice, when the sun, again from our point of view, is as far south as it’s going to go and it begins heading back north. And then on March 20, we will have the vernal or spring equinox and this fall will seem such a long time ago.

Controlling waste States are not allowed simply to bar the importation of trash across their borders. That would disrupt interstate commerce, the Supreme Court has ruled. Yet it makes sense that North Carolina, faced with a proposed mega-landfill in Camden County near the Virginia line, should be able to set reasonable conditions for such a project. That’s essentially what a judge in Wake County Superior Court, Henry W. Hight Jr., concluded in a lawsuit brought by Waste Industries. The ruling was welcome news as this state tries to keep from becoming a dumping ground of choice for trash generated elsewhere. Huge amounts of trash. The Black Bear landfill, expected to take upwards of 3 million tons annually, would have been about a mile from the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. A 2007 law, upheld by Hight, among other things requires landfills to be at least five miles from a wildlife refuge. Too bad for Black Bear — or any other landfill targeted with such disdain for North Carolina’s environment. — The News & Observer Raleigh

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be) “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. “One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.” ~Sandra Carey

n Aug. 26, the University of North Carolina Board of Governors elected Tom Ross, president of Davidson College, as the new president of the 17-campus university system. Much has been said about Mr. Ross and his distinguished career and accomplishments as a Superior Court judge and as executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation. As a Superior Court judge who handles felony cases, and as the current chairman of the N.C. Sentencing and Policy Advisory Commission, I would like to point out some of the contributions Mr. Ross has made to the criminal justice system in North Carolina. Mr. Ross served as the first chairman of the Sentencing Commission. At the time of his appointment, the state’s criminal justice system was facing crises in a number of areas, including serious offenders serving only a fraction of their prison sentence, the threat of federal lawsuits related to prison overcrowding, and the erosion of public confidence. Mr. Ross led a diverse group of people, including law enforcement officers, court officials, criminal justice agency representatives, legislators and citizens, in the development of a package of recommendations which would become structured sentencing. The commission submitted the recommendations to the General Assembly in 1993. Structured sentencing passed the Senate and the House with only two dissenting votes, affirming the change with an overwhelmingly bipartisan mandate. Structured sentencing brought much-needed changes to the state’s troubled criminal justice system, providing truth, consistency and certainty to the sentences the court imposes. The new sentencing laws prioritized the use of limited resources, ensuring that the most expensive resource — prison — is reserved for violent and repeat offenders, and victims can now be assured that offenders will serve 100 percent of their prison sentence. At the same time, correctional resources at the local level were developed for offenders sentenced to sanctions in the community. Finally, structured sentencing provided predictability to the system, allowing the General Assembly to plan for future resource needs. In short, structured sentencing made significant improvements to the state’s sentencing policies. Since its enactment, structured sentencing has not only brought about innovations in policies but has also produced notable results. Felons, on average, have gone from serving 16 months in prison in 1993 to serving 38 months in 2009, with an average of 128 months for the most violent group of felons (and a life sentence without the possibility of release for those convicted of first-degree murder). Prison capacity increased from 21,000 beds in 1993 to 39,000 beds in 2009, to accommodate, in a growing state, the need to incapacitate violent offenders for long periods, without the possibility of parole. The Index Crime Rate in North Carolina has gone from 6,967 to 417 per 100,000 for violent crimes, and from 5,097 to 3,761 per 100,000 for property crimes. Whether structured sentencing can claim a role in reducing crime in the state or not, its implementation clearly did not bring about an increase in it. North Carolina received national recognition for the work of the Sentencing Commission under Mr. Ross. In 1997, the Ford Foundation and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University awarded the state the Innovations in American Government Award. Mr. Ross’ leadership abilities, problem-solving skills and visionary talents benefitted the state’s criminal justice system at a crucial time. Now, as he brings these same valuable resources to the UNC system, I believe, as many others do, that the state’s university system will be in excellent hands with Tom Ross at the helm. He and I are alumni of Davidson and of the School of Law at UNC. I am distraught for Davidson and ecstatic for the University of North Carolina. • • • W.

EW YORK — Sometimes when everyone is shouting, only a whisper can be heard. This is the thinking behind a powerful new anti-Barack Obama ad that seeks to tap not the nation’s anger but the country’s sadness. “Mourning in America,” which is hitting the national airwaves, is a poignant takeoff of Ronald Reagan’s iconic “Morning in America” ad. KATHLEEN Whatever one’s political affiliaPARKER tion, it is impossible to watch this new ad and not feel, well, sad. Brilliant. Everyone’s angry. But anger is cheap and tired. Rode hard and hung up wet, as we say down South. Most Americans are also sad. The always bountiful America seems on the edge of famine, spiritual if not literal, though the latter seems all too possible as jobs disappear and businesses close. The ad, which can be viewed on YouTube (http://bit.ly/9NUS4r), cites the latest statistics of unemployment and foreclosure, and other facts that illustrate the rupture of the social contract — the idea that our children could, should and would do better than we. Or at least as well. Echoing closely the text of Reagan’s ad, the new one is shot in darker, more somber light. Here’s Reagan: “It’s morning again in America. Today, more men and women will go to work than ever before in our country’s history.” The new ad, produced by Citizens for the Republic, a group of organizers who identify themselves as friends and fans of Reagan, is less sunny: “There’s mourning in America. Today, 15 million men and women won’t have the opportunity to go to work. Businesses shuttered. Twenty-nine hundred families will have their homes foreclosed

by nightfall. This afternoon, 6,000 men and women will be married, each of their children to be born with a $30,000 share of the runaway national debt.” The camera pans to an infant — burdened with debt. This is a smart ad, created by Fred Davis of Strategic Perception Inc, one of the GOP’s favorite admen. Davis produced commercials for George W. Bush and John McCain but is perhaps best known for his “Demon Sheep” ad for Carly Fiorina. Davis

“Reagan saw America as a shining beacon to the old world. Obama explicitly rejects American exceptionalism. ... America in 2010 is suffering from a failed leader and failed economic policies.” CITIZENS

Please, all Rowan County voters — go vote. Send a message to the candidates that are running for public office that the voters of Rowan County have had enough taxes and wasted tax money.

But the city can’t afford to put water and sewer where they have already annexed. I was annexed three years ago. All we got was double taxes on property and autos and water.

thinks his latest will stand out because when “everyone else is shouting, a whisper can be the most powerful form of communication. And God knows the world is shouting.” The ad is not subtle in blaming current circumstances on Obama. Quite the contrary, the narrator says that under the president’s leadership, the U.S. is “fading, and weaker, and worse off.” In a gesture of charity, perhaps, the ad allows: “His policies were a grand experiment, policies that failed.” Can’t blame the man for trying? Good guy, bad policies? To the point: Vote Republican in November and “choose a smaller, more caring government, one that remembers us.” Ads come and go. Many tap into the ambient anger. But “mourning” aims straight for the emotional solar plexus and hits its mark. As someone

behind the scenes in the ad’s production told me: “It says what we know in our hearts, that something is terribly wrong. “In 1984, Americans were more optimistic about their future. Now, Americans feel uncertain and are deeply concerned about the direction of the country. ... This president truly looks at America differently than Reagan did. Reagan saw America as a shining beacon to the old world. Obama explicitly rejects American exceptionalism. ... America in 2010 is suffering from a failed leader and failed economic policies.” Whether this ad succeeds remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the more relevant question is: Is it true? Is Obama responsible for our neardire circumstances? I have never been a fan of presidents who place blame on their predecessors or who accept credit for events that couldn’t have been engineered so soon in their tenure. Politicians will always massage the data to tell the story their way. Bill Clinton’s happy economy surely owed some credit to Reagan. George W. Bush’s ill fortunes surely had at least some of their roots in Clinton’s lack of attentiveness. Obama clearly inherited a load of fertilizer, but his policies also have exacerbated those effects. Obama’s successor most certainly will benefit or suffer to some degree from seeds the current president planted. Nevertheless, it is probably fair to say that Obama’s ideas were too big for America’s appetite. It would have been nice had he made a few incremental repairs to the economy and left the transformative events for a less stressful time. But this is not the way presidents operate. They want to make their mark, create a legacy, go down in history as having a made a difference. Sad. • • • Kathleen Parker writes for the Washington Post.

Healthy options Congress will soon vote on child nutrition legislation that could significantly improve school lunches. As a dietitian, I am extremely concerned because I heard that the House version of the new Child Nutrition Act may be rejected for a much weaker, strippeddown Senate version. Unlike the Senate bill, the House bill — the Improving Nutrition for America's Children Act, H.R. 5504 — gives schools the resources necessary to provide all children with healthy options. It includes an innovative pilot program to introduce more plantbased foods and provides more funding for farm-toschool programs. It extends

nutrition standards to all food sold in schools and provides vital funding for nutrition education. The House bill also goes much further toward providing low-income children with access to nutritious meals for breakfast, after school, on weekends and during the summer. The Senate bill would make it harder for children to choose healthy food options at school. We must urge Congress to pass the superior House bill, H.R. 5504. Take action at http://HealthySchoolLunches.org. — Susan Levin, Washington, D.C.

Tea party detente Group has energy, money and truce with GOP WASHINGTON (AP) — Tea party activists and the Republican establishment are quickly joining forces for the fall elections as fresh cash and energy flow to the upstarts. Separate tea party groups still squabble over roles for Republican insiders within the movement, but the conservative activists and GOP stalwarts have reached a truce for the common goal of defeating Democrats, heeding calls for unity from Republicans including Sarah Palin. One group — the nonprofit Tea Party Patriots — on Tuesday announced a $1 million donation from an anonymous donor, a shot of cash to be spent before the election on voter mobilization efforts. The Tea Party Express is preparing to assist specific candidates, building on its targeted advertising campaigns during primary races in Delaware, Alaska and Nevada. Meanwhile, the Republican Party and GOP-allied outside groups are already helping some tea party-backed candidates, most notably Sharron Angle who is seeking to unseat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid in Nevada. “Ultimately, that’s what we all hope happens, as citizens,” said Tea Party Patriots co-founder Mark Meckler. “The political parties support the candidates that the people support, not the other way around.” It’s hardly unusual for opposing forces to coalesce after primaries to confront the opposition party. But the vigor with which tea party activists went after longtime Republican office holders — such as Sen. Robert Bennett in Utah and Rep. Mike Castle in Delaware — had raised the prospects of a rift that would be difficult to heal. But Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, was offering plenty of salve Tuesday. “I think the tea party’s been a very constructive movement in American politics,” he said. “People are tired of everything thrown at

We have embraced their enthusiasm and their energy in the Republican primaries and now we’re strongly behind all the Republican nominees, including a number of candidates who are very actively supported by the tea party movement.” To be sure, the tea party and the Republican Party are far from strangers. Start with the movement’s financial backing. The Tea Party Express, a group formed by a longtime California GOP consultant, has raised more than $5 million and financed about $2 million in advertising to help candidates. The organization was an offshoot of a political action committee created to support John McCain’s Republican presidential run in 2008, and its chief strategist is Sal Russo, a Sacramento Republican operative who has worked for nearly 50 years helping run party campaigns, including those of Govs. George Deukmejian of California and George Pataki of New York. The Tea Party Express made a huge splash in Alaska, where it poured nearly $600,000 into the race in the waning weeks to support Joe Miller over Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a member of the Senate GOP leadership who had the party’s backing. Miller won and now Murkowski is running a

write-in campaign in hopes of retaining her seat. With the party now backing Miller, Murkowski had to resign her Senate leadership post. The Tea Party Express then jostled the party again, swooping into Delaware and spending about $240,000 to help Christine O’Donnell defeat Castle in the GOP Senate primary. Looking ahead, Russo said in an interview, “We’re going to favor the candidates we supported in the primary.” “But we’re not limited to that. We’ll try to help make a difference.” Tea party candidates have also received a boost from FreedomWorks, a conservative group led by former House Republican leader Richard Armey. Its political action committee, formed last April, has raised only a fraction of what the Tea Party Express has amassed in its PAC. But Armey’s group has its own influential network, and it has weighed in to support tea party candidates that did not get Tea Party Express support, such as Rand Paul in Kentucky. FreedomWorks President and CEO Matt Kibbe said his group is looking beyond the Republican Party targets in the House and Senate. “When you have results like Delaware, there is an opportunity to think outside the box,” he said.

Poll: Health-care law muddling our minds

9JCV¶U KP VJG NCY!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months after President Barack Obama signed the landmark health care law, the nation still doesn’t really know what’s in it. More than half of Americans mistakenly believe the overhaul will raise taxes for most people this year, an Associated Press poll finds. But that would be true only if most people were devoted to indoor tanning, which got hit with a sales tax. Many who wanted the health care system to be overhauled don’t realize that some provisions they cared about actually did make it in. And about a quarter of supporters don’t understand that something hardly anyone wanted didn’t make it: They mistakenly say the law will set up panels of bureaucrats to make decisions about people’s care — what critics labeled “death panels.” The uncertainty and confusion amount to a dismal verdict for the Obama administration’s campaign to win over public opinion. Before the final votes in Congress, Obama personally assured wavering Democrats he’d take the case to the American people after the law passed. But it hasn’t worked. And in the final stretch before the midterm elections Republicans are united by their call for repeal. “I’m insecure about a document that was as big as the health care bill and wonder if anybody understands exactly what’s in it,” said Diann Kelley, 61, a retiree from Marietta, Ga., who says she’s “somewhat opposed” to the law. The AP poll was conducted by Stanford University with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “The main fear is the cost,” explained Kelley. “I’m not sure that we can afford to take on something quite as massive as the health care reform with

Q: Do you think that the health care

the economy the way it is.” It’s not that Kelley has a negative opinion about everything in the law. The prohibition on health insurance companies denying coverage to people because of pre-existing medical conditions “is really a fine idea,” she said. The poll’s questions included a true-or-false quiz on 19 items, some of which are in the law and others not. People were also asked how confident they were about their answers. For the most part, majorities picked the right answers. But a sizable number also got things wrong. And right or wrong, people were unsure of their answers. Two-thirds or more were uncertain about their responses on eight of nine core provisions of the legislation. Analysis of the findings indicated a split as far as the impact of accurate knowledge, between Democrats and independents on one side and Republicans on the other. Accurate knowledge of the law made no difference in overwhelming opposition from Republicans. Michael Cagnina, 33, a web developer from Powhatan, Va., summed it up: “It just doesn’t make me feel comfortable that the government is going to give people free health care but ultimately the government’s money is my money.” However, for Democrats and independents, the more accurate knowledge people had of the bill, the more they liked it. “Among Democrats and independents, the lack of knowledge is suppressing public approval of the bill,” said Stanford political science professor Jon Krosnick, who directed the university’s participation. “Although the president and others have done a great deal to educate people about

The president and top administration officials will be joined by people from around the country who are already benefiting from such popular provisions as allowing adult children to remain on their parents’ insurance until they reach 26. Will it make a difference? The poll shows Obama has yet to find the right wavelength for communicating even information that’s relatively straightforward. One question stood out as an example: People were asked whether the Congressional Budget Office had ruled that the legislation would probably increase the government’s debt, or whether the nonpartisan budget analysts found that the health law would reduce red ink. (Correct answer: CBO found it would reduce the federal deficit over time.) But 81 percent in the survey got the wrong answer, including a majorities of both supporters and opponents — even though Obama seldom misses a chance to remind audiences of CBO’s favorable report.

Drug case delays Paris in Japan

President’s top economic adviser to leave WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser, Lawrence Summers, plans to leave the White House at the end of the year, a move that comes as the administration struggles to show an anxious public it’s making progress on the economy. In a statement, the president said he is grateful for Summers’ service during a time of “great peril for our country.” “While we have much work ahead to repair the damage done by the recession, we are on a better path thanks in no small measure to Larry’s wise SUMMERS counsel,” Obama said. Summers will return to Harvard University, a move a senior administration official said was always part of Summers’ long-standing plans. The official said the president asked Summers last fall to stay through 2010 in order to see through the passage of financial regulatory legislation and the continued implementation of the economic stimulus package.

Senate Republicans block bill, opt to keep ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ policy WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked legislation that would have repealed the law banning gays from serving openly in the military. The partisan vote was a defeat for Senate Democrats and gay rights advocates, who saw the bill as their last chance before November’s elections to overturn the law known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.” With the 56-43 vote, Democrats fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation. It also would have authorized $726 billion in defense spending including a pay raise for troops. Senate Democrats attached the repeal provision to the defense bill in the hopes that Republicans would hesitate to vote against legislation that included popular defense programs. But GOP legislators opposed the bill anyway, thwarting a key part of the Democrats’ legislative agenda. Now, gay rights advocates say they worry they have lost a crucial opportunity to change the law. If Democrats lose seats in the upcoming elections this fall, repealing the ban could prove even more difficult — if not impossible — next year.

Iran’s Ahmadinejad predicts defeat of capitalism, blames big business UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran’s president on Tuesday predicted the defeat of capitalism and blamed global big business for the suffering of millions, but Germany’s chancellor said market economies were key to lifting the world’s least developed countries out of poverty. The clash of visions at the U.N. anti-poverty summit drew a line under the stark differences on easing the misery of the one billion people living on less than $1.25 a day. More than 140 presidents, prime ministers and kings are attending the three-day summit which started Monday to assess AHMADINEJAD and spur on achievement of U.N. targets set by world leaders in 2000. The plan called for an intensive global campaign to ease poverty, disease and inequalities between rich and poor by 2015. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, however, never mentioned the Millennium Development Goals in his speech to the 192-member General Assembly. Instead, he took aim at capitalism and called for the overhaul of “undemocratic and unjust” global decision-making bodies, which are dominated by the United States and other Western powers. He said world leaders, thinkers and global reformers should “spare no effort” to make practical plans for a new world order — reform of international economic and political institutions.

Police say a witness description of the car and license plates led to the home of 37-year-old Erica F. Anderson, who was arrested after returning from picking up her daughters at their elementary school. Anderson was charged with robbery and theft. Police also arrested 19-year-old Joshua K.

Ex-city manager among eight arrested in scandal LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mayor and former city manager of Bell were led away in handcuffs Tuesday, charged with six other officials with taking more than $5.5 million from the working-class suburb in a scandal that triggered nationwide outrage and calls for more transparency in government. Former City Manager Robert Rizzo, Mayor Oscar Hernandez and the other current and former city officials were rounded up during morning raids on their homes that prompted many of their neighbors to burst into cheers. They were charged with dozens of counts of illegally paying themselves huge salaries in what District Attorney Steve Cooley called a case of “corruption on steroids.” “They used the taxes of the hardworking citizens of Bell as their own piggy bank, which

they looted,” Cooley told a news conference as he stood next to photos of the eight suspects. In Bell, where one in six residents lives in poverty, people began honking their horns at the news of the arrests. At City Hall, dozens gathered to laugh and applaud as someone played the Queen song “Another One Bites the Dust.” “I got so excited that, oh my God, I couldn’t breathe,” said Violeta Alvarez, a 31-year resident. “I’m excited. I’m happy. I have tears of joy in my eyes.”

Rizzo, who was making nearly $800,000 a year, was booked on 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. Messages left at his home and with his attorney were not returned. He and the others were scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday, with officials seeking bail amounts ranging from $3.2 million for Rizzo to $130,000 for former Councilman George Cole. The amounts were based on how much authorities believe each person took. Others taken into custody were former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia, Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo, council members George Mirabal and Luis Artiga and former council member Victor Bello. Spaccia was making $376,288, and four of the five City Council members were paying themselves nearly $100,000 a year.

Afghanistan copter crash kills 9 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A helicopter carrying international troops crashed in a rugged section of southern Afghanistan, killing nine service members in the deadliest such incident in four years for coalition forces. A “large number” of Americans were among the dead, according to a senior military official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. One other coalition service member, an Afghan National Army soldier and a U.S. civilian were wounded in Tuesday’s crash. The coalition would not disclose the helicopter’s mission, and the cause of the crash was not immediately clear. NATO said there were no reports of enemy fire in the early morning hours in the Daychopan district of Zabul province, where the crash took place. However, Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi told the Associated Press by telephone that

insurgents shot down the helicopter. The Taliban often exaggerate their claims and sometimes take credit for accidents. “The Taliban are not involved in this crash at all,” said Mohammad Jan Rasoolyar, a spokesman for the provincial governor in Zabul. “The investigation is still going on, but the military told us that the helicopter crashed due to technical problems.” Another coalition service member died following a separate explosion in southern Afghanistan, the coalition said. No further details were available. So far this year, at least 524 U.S. and NATO forces have been killed in Afghanistan, surpassing the 504 killed last year. This year has been the deadliest for international forces since the war began in 2001. Tuesday’s helicopter crash took place not far from Chanaryan village, but there was no damage to buildings, Rasoolyar said. U.S. and Romanian forces

make up most of the NATO contingent in Zabul province. “I was sitting taking my tea,” said Nakeemullah, 20, who transports livestock in the area. “I heard noise and I went outside to see what happened. “I saw a lot of smoke in the sky,” said Nakeemullah, who uses only one name. “It was far away for me, but I could see that it was a helicopter and it went down on the backside of the mountain where I couldn’t see.” Aircraft are used extensively in Afghanistan by both NATO and the Afghan government forces to transport and supply troops because the terrain is mountainous and roads are few and primitive. Lacking shoulder-fired missiles and other anti-aircraft weapons, the Taliban rely mostly on machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades to fire at aircraft during takeoffs and landings. Most helicopter crashes in the country have been accidents caused by maintenance problems or factors such as dust.

Dream Act dies with defense bill Would have given legal status to some immigrants WASHINGTON (AP) — The chance for hundreds of thousands of young people to legally remain in the U.S. evaporated Tuesday when Republicans blocked a defense spending bill in the Senate. Democrats failed to get a single Republican to help them reach the 60 votes needed to move forward on the defense bill and attach the DREAM Act as an amendment. The vote was 56-43. Arkansas Democratic Sens. Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor voted with Republicans. Majority Leader Harry Reid also voted to block the bill in a procedural move that allows the defense bill to be revived later. The DREAM Act allows young people to become legal U.S. residents after spending two years in college or the military. It applies to those who were under 16 when they arrived in the U.S., have been in

the country at least five years and have a diploma from a U.S. high school or the equivalent. Several young people who would have benefited from the legislation watched the vote from the gallery, some wearing graduation caps and gowns. Many sat stone-faced when the vote tally was read. A young woman dressed in a gold cap and gown wiped away tears. Most of the young immigrants knew victory was unlikely, but in the hours before the vote they walked the hallways of a Senate office building trying to drum up support. “I was kind of speechless. It’s something that hurt, but we are not stopping. They only gave us a chance and more time to get even bigger,” said Diana Banderas, who graduated from high school in May and plans to go to community college after earning the money she needs to attend. Republicans accused Democrats of playing politics with the defense bill and the DREAM Act. South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who has supported legislation legalizing illegal immigrants in the past,

said Democrats were trying to galvanize Hispanics and energize their voters by trying to tack the DREAM Act onto the defense bill. The bill also included a measure to repeal the military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gays. “I don’t think anyone in the country will hold it against us for voting against their way of doing business,” Graham said. Reid, D-Nev., said Republicans were “putting partisan politics ahead of the best interests of the men and women who courageously defend our nation” by blocking the bill, which would have authorized $726 billion in defense spending, including a pay raise for troops. Sen. Dick Durbin, the majority whip, said repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy and passing the DREAM Act were a matter of justice and fairness. “We do not in this country hold the crimes and misdeeds of parents against their children,” Durbin, D-Ill., said in reference to the DREAM Act. He has been trying to pass the legislation for about a decade.

NARITA, Japan (AP) — Japanese officials delayed Paris Hilton at Narita International Airport while they decide whether she will be admitted to the country after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor d r u g charge in Las Vegas. The 29year-old celebrity w a s stopped by immigration aut h o r i t i e s HILTON upon her arrival in Japan on Tuesday, one day after her plea, according to an e-mailed statement by Hilton’s representative, Dawn Miller. Hilton was scheduled to appear at a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday to promote her fashion and fragrance lines, but that appearance was canceled. Immigration authorities questioned Hilton “for undisclosed reasons,” and she was not allowed to enter the country, Hidekazu Akai, an immigration official at Narita, said early Wednesday. The officials adjourned questioning and asked Hilton to stay at a hotel in the airport so they could continue immigration procedures Wednesday, Kyodo News agency reported. Under Japanese law, immigration authorities are empowered to deny entry to those who have been convicted of drug-related offenses. Miller’s statement said Hilton was disappointed with the scrutiny by Japanese authorities. “Paris was contractually bound to her business trip and didn’t want to let down her brands and many Asian fans,” the statement said. The Asia trip had been planned before Hilton’s arrest last month in Las Vegas, when an officer found a small amount of cocaine in her purse. She pleaded guilty Monday to drug possession and obstructing an officer and was placed on informal probation for one year.

Student gardeners throng Muhammad Ali in hometown LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Muhammad Ali hugged children and posed for photos Tuesday during an appearance to promote a charitable initiative to grow vegetable gardens at schools around the world. S t u dents at John F. ALI Kennedy Montessori Elementary School in Ali’s hometown helped plant, nurture and harvest vegetables representing popular cuisine around the world. The school’s project is serving as the prototype for a series of “Muhammad Ali Center Peace Gardens,” which will aim to teach children about nutrition and respect for different cultures. About 600 children, preschoolers to fifthgraders, filled the floor of the Louisville school’s gym to cheer Ali, whose wellknown battle with Parkinson’s disease has left him mostly silent at his infrequent public appearances.

ACC Football Deacons showed no defense against Stanford/3B

ARLINGTON, Texas — After watching his Dallas Cowboys stink for the second week in a row, Jerry Jones was asked if he thought this team was overhyped and under-coached. His answer: Yes and yes. “When you are 0-2, that is fair and it is right down the center,” the Cowboys owner responded following Sunday’s 2720 loss to the Chicago Bears. You know this guy is boiling inside. This is a hands-on owner who lives and breathes the Cowboys 365 days a year. He pays and plays to win. Nobody hates losing more than Jones. But he has experienced 22 years of the ups and downs that NFL owners go through. He is a

much wiser man than the one we were first introduced to back in 1989. Neither is he any longer an Al Davis wannabe. “I think the best thing I can do right now is not knee-jerk,” Jerry told me when I asked him what he as the owner can do about this early hole that the Cowboys have dug for themselves. “The owner doesn’t get to do much at this juncture of a season, and in my mind, he shouldn’t. But as a general manager, those guys do things in these times. But I’m going to be pretty patient.” You know he wants to get involved. Remember the day he was introduced as the new owner of the Cowboys, he talked about being in charge of “socks

PHILADELPHIA — Michael Vick has been named the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback, a day after coach Andy Reid said it was Kevin Kolb’s job. It wasn’t immediately known why Reid reversed his decision on Tuesday. The team announced the move in a text message, and Reid was to discuss it at a news conference later in the day. Kolb missed the last six quarters because of a concussion, and Vick played well in his absence. Kolb was cleared to practice and was expected to run the first-team offense on today. Vick threw for 175 yards and one touchdown and ran for 103 yards in a 27-20 season-opening loss to Green Bay. He had 284 yards passing and two TDs in a 35-32 win at Detroit on Sunday.

Kolb started two games in his first three seasons before he became the team’s No. 1 quarterback after Donovan McNabb was traded to Washington. Kolb struggled in the first half against the VICK Packers. Vick’s start against the Lions was his first in nearly four years. A threetime Pro Bowl pick during six seasons in Atlanta, Vick missed two seasons while serving an 18-month sentence in federal prison for his role in a dogfighting operation. He signed a two-year contract with the Eagles before last season, then played sparingly behind McNabb and Kolb. Vick has completed 63.8 percent of his passes and has posted consecutive games with a passer rating above 100 for only the second time in his career.

Too much stress for coaches?

Associated Press

CHARLOTTE — NASCAR warned Richard Childress Racing that Clint Bowyer’s car came close to failing inspection after his Chaseclinching drive at Richmond. NASCAR scheduled a Tuesday meeting with RCR officials to go over the No. 33 Chevrolet and determine if the team had not made a misBOWYER take in its own calculations. “They were in the box, but getting close to some of the tolerances and we asked them to come in to see if they aren’t getting off on one of their build sheets,” NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said. “We have had their cars in quite a bit, and they were always spot-on. This one just seemed to be different, and we felt we owed it to them to make sure they just aren’t off in one area.” Bowyer’s car was chosen by NASCAR for random inspection following his sixth-place finish at the Sept. 11 race. The run gave him the 12th and final spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, which began Sunday in New Hampshire. Bowyer won the opener to vault from 12th in the standings to second, and he’s in the thick of the title hunt. But as his team celebrated the victory, rival teams began to gossip about a potential problem with Bowyer’s car from the week before. NASCAR confirmed that once the car got back to its North Carolina research and development center, it was discovered that the back end of the Chevrolet was very close to the mandated tolerance levels. NASCAR still has the car in its possession, and won’t give it back to RCR until the team meets with the sanctioning body. But Pemberton shot down speculation that RCR was given a pass because NASCAR didn’t want to spoil the build up to the Chase opener. “If there was something more to this, we would move the car under the dark of night and hide it in a crypt somewhere where nobody can see it,” he said. “We’re going to get criticized for everything we do anyway. People are through here all the time (R&D Center) and can see what’s here. There are no shenanigans.”

Block of ages Bryant knocked down Bears for Bunn BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Gerron Bryant scored against saint Augustine’s.

Junior receiver Gerron Bryant, Catawba’s Offensive Player of the Week, may be the most gifted guy on a talented team.The bouncy Bryant’s six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown told only part of the story in Saturday’s 32-21 win against Shaw. On his best play of the night, the Florida Flash didn’t even touch the ball. On a bubble screen to slot receiver Brandon Bunn on Catawba’s second snap, the wiry, 6-foot-3 Bryant knocked two defenders to the ground to spring the elusive Bunn for a 28-yard gain. “All the great receivers in the NFL do more than just catch the football,” Bryant explained. “I want to take blocking to another level. I am my brother’s keeper, and I want to help my fellow receivers out.” Bryant’s mother, Brenda, died before she got to see him become a football standout at

Catawba. He dedicates each Saturday to her. “I still sit  Hartsell has in front of best game of his my locker career, 3B and cry about her before every game,” Bryant said. “She saw me do well in basketball, gymnastics, track and cheerleading, but never football. She was always working during football. “Now she’s like an extra wing for me, a burst of energy when I don’t think I can go on. She’s where my want and my will come from.” Bryant treated Catawba fans to a display of his acrobatic prowess after Saturday’s victory. Not many football players can match Bryant when it comes to handsprings and backflips. “I had to be first-class and couldn’t do anything like that after I scored,” Bryant said. “But I thanked the fans with a flip after the game.”

Catawba Notebook

While most of college football slept Saturday night, the real world decided to give us a reminder of where wins and losses stand and how important people are. Let’s hope the heart attack suffered by Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio is not a precursor to more health prob- DANTONIO lems for coaches. Fortunately, Dantonio is reportedly expected to make a full recovery. But sadly, judging from the high-pay, ultra highstress world D-I coaches live in, this is probably not the last we’ve heard of health concerns in the coaching fraternity. Florida fans sure know. Gators coach Urban Meyer guided his team to an unprecedented sixth straight win over Tennessee Saturday. But last December, a burned-out Meyer feared for his own life after being hospitalized amid symptoms related to dehydration and chest pains from esophageal spasms after UF’s loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. Fortunately for Meyer, it was only a scare. Northwestern coach Randy Walker wasn’t so lucky four years ago, collapsing and dying of a heart attack at age 52. There was also the tragic passing of Indiana coach Terry Hoeppner from brain cancer three years ago. How ironic is it that Dantonio suffered his heart attack only hours after rolling the dice with a fake field goal call that ultimately worked for the game-winning TD in overtime to beat Notre Dame? And don’t forget another ironic scoop is that Dantonio’s gutsy call beat Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly, who succeeded Dantonio at Cincinnati and, mostly using Dantonio’s recruits, parlayed his quick success there into the ND job. We’ve never met Dantonio. But a friend’s son played for him at Cincinnati. And though the player was mostly a backup, Dantonio was said to be honest, punctual and forthright when dealing with any questions the father had over his son’s lack

Honeycutt, East sweep titles BY BRET STRELOW bstrelow@salisburypost.com

STATESVILLE — East Rowan’s Cole Honeycutt listened for footsteps as he tried to maintain his lead in the Cooke’s Pharmacy Statesville Invitational on Tuesday. Approaching the 5K finish line at Mac Anderson Park, Honeycutt had additional proof that St. Stephens runner Matt Zachrich was making a late charge. “I could actually see his shadow coming up right at the end,” Honeycutt said. Honeycutt crossed with a time of 16:14.18 to edge Zachrich by 0.23 seconds and lead East’s boys to the team title. The Mustangs totaled 76 points, 15 fewer than second-place South Rowan. Zachrich’s official time was 16:14.41, and Lake Norman’s Michael Marshburn took third in 16:22. East’s Eli Walton placed fourth in 16:23, seven seconds faster than fourth-place Michael York of South Rowan. Honeycutt, a junior, won his first high school race last Thursday in a three-team meet with Gray Stone and Carson in Albemarle. The boys portion of the Statesville Invitational had 16 teams and 108 runners. “I collapsed when I got done,” said Honeycutt, who trimmed 30 seconds off his personal-best time by taking advantage of the fast Mac Anderson course. “After that, I was like, ‘OK, I just won a race.’



Lake Norman’s boys were third in the team standings, followed by Davie County and Mooresville. The other area teams involved were A.L. Brown (seventh), Carson (ninth) and West Rowan (12th). Jose Navarette placed sixth in HONEYCUTT WALTON 16:46 to lead A.L. Brown, and Carson’s Jacob Fink led his team “Usually in a real big race I’m with a 20th-place performance real nervous, but this race wasn’t (17:37). West’s top runner was bad. You get nervous, and when Chris Holmes (22nd, 17:41).  you start running, it all goes In the girls competition, indiaway.” Honeycutt and Walton were vidual winner Jenny Gallagher joined in East’s top five by Brad (19:03) helped Lake Norman Oden (10th, 17:18), Mark Almeida claim first with 35 points.

The other members of the Cougars’ (32nd, 18:05).

South volleyball ends losing streak BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

LANDIS — Balloons decorated the office door of South Rowan volleyball coach Jan Dowling when she reported to work on Tuesday. While the birthday girl didn’t reveal how many candles she blew out, her math skills were sharp enough to know that her team had lost six straight matches “Balloons and stuff are nice — I mean, it was a really, really good day for me,” Dowling said. “But what I wanted most for a birthday present was a win.” She got it. South ended its skid in its home gym with a 25-23, 25-20, 25-16 win over county and NPC rival East Rowan. Both teams are 2-4 in the NPC at the halfway mark. East has beaten West Rowan and Statesville, while South’s other win came against the Falcons. “We’re not great, but we’re not that bad, either,” Dowling said. “Today, we served to spots, played smarter, played very team-oriented. It shows what we’re capable of.” Senior Sam Goins had 16 kills to pace the Raiders, while sophomores Emma Pope and Tiffany Brooks contributed seven each. Senior setter Nicole Barringer had 28 assists. Libero Krista Swartz made 13 digs to lead a stout South defensive effort. Kim Fesperman and Kayla Corriher didn’t put up big stats, but they turned in solid games with few errors. Carsen Byrd had nine kills for East, and Mallory Drew had five.

BROOKS

POPE

Byrd can potentially dominate matches, but South didn’t let her get rolling. Several strong attacks by Byrd that are normally kills were kept in play by Barringer, Pope, Swartz and Corriher. “South didn’t give Carsen free rein like some teams have,” East coach Karen Garmon said. “But I don’t think she was off all that much. It’s just that South can block, and when Carsen did go around the block, someone always made a tough dig.” South got a huge lift from Brooks, a 5-foot-8 middle hitter who was taken to school by taller Carson girls last week. This time, Brooks enjoyed a breakout day with four key blocks. South needed it with Chelsea McManus, who shares middle time with Brooks, sidelined by illness. “I just felt really good about this game for some reason,” Brooks said. The key moments in the match came late in Game 1. East, which had controlled that game behind excellent defense by Byrd and efficient sets by Taylor Honeycutt, held a 23-21 lead after a kill by Noel Buie. But Pope, who had hobbled off the floor with a twisted ankle earlier in the game, produced a huge kill. Then Brooks ham-

mered one emphatically to the floor for a 23-all tie. With Barringer serving, Corriher and Pope came through with kills to give South the game. “We work on pressure situations and being mentally tough a lot,” Dowling said. “Today, we played with a lot of confidence. We didn’t get stressed out on some very big points.” Garmon agreed the end of Game 1 was where the match swung for good. “When it’s 23-23 like it was there, it’s basically 0-0 and you’ve got to really focus and push to get to two,” Garmon said. “South just outplayed us.” South kept momentum in Game 2, breaking a 14-14 tie on a kill by Goins and riding her the rest of the way. She had eight kills in that game. “Everyone was playing together, and I was able to change things up and keep them guessing,” Goins said. “I’d hit one down the line, then I’d dink one.” East was never in Game 3 after Corriher had a service run that pushed the lead from 5-3 to 12-3. The point that probably deflated East most made it 10-3. Byrd absolutely smashed a sure kill — only to have Pope make an outstanding dig. South eventually won the point on a kill by Goins. Pope made it 24-16 by splitting four diving Mustangs with a perfect crosscourt smash. Kim Fesperman’s ace ended the match and put a bow on Dowling’s present. “From the end of that first game on, we just kept our momentum up,” Brooks said. “We never lost our teamwork.”

Where’s the D, Deacs?

Hartsell carried defense BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

Associated Press

The college football notebook ... WINSTON-SALEM — There’s no defending how poorly Wake Forest’s defense has played lately. The Demon Deacons (2-1, 1-0) gave up 48 points to Duke and 68 points to No. 16 Stanford. They bring the worst pass defense in the ACC into this week’s game at Florida State. They’re giving up 461 yards per game overall, and their two FBS opponents averaged 511 yards. That’s quite a drop-off for a program that produced NFL defenders Aaron Curry and Alphonso Smith. So, are Wake Forest’s bad numbers a result of facing two top offenses? Or did those teams simply look better because they faced a struggling Demon Deacons defense? Safety Cyhl Quarles tried to explain the effort against Stanford on Tuesday, saying “we just didn’t play good.” DANTONIO UPDATE EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State’s Mark Dantonio was released from the hospital Tuesday, two days after suffering a mild heart attack that had his fellow coaches buzzing about the health of their profession. Don Treadwell, the offensive coordinator for the 25th-ranked Spartans, was upbeat during a Tuesday news conference. He described meeting with Dantonio, who was hospitalized Sunday not long after Saturday night’s 34-31 overtime win over Notre Dame. “Coach was sitting up in bed in the time that I saw him, and again, just knowing him, having known him for 20 years, you usually can’t fool someone when you’ve been with them long enough to see him in good times and bad times,” Treadwell said. “In just knowing who he is and seeing the strength in his eyes and just listening to him talk.” MARYLAND COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland will have two injured quarterbacks operating behind a makeshift O-Line Saturday against Florida International. Starting quarterback Jamarr Robinson has a sore throwing shoulder and backup Danny O’Brien lasted only one play last week before aggravating a sprained right ankle.

Mark dantonio suffered a heart attack after Michigan state’s big win over Notre dame.

HEALTH FROM 1B of playing time or status with the team or the school. It’s always amazed us in that so many coaches are obsessed, Type-A, micro-managers determined to be aware of every single detail of their team. Yet when it comes to their own health, many coaches pay less attention to it than the crowd at a rainy November Vanderbilt-Duke game. “There’s nothing healthy about it,” former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach told the Associated Press of the grinding lifestyle that made eating properly or getting proper rest or exercise virtually impossible during the season. Whether it’s the expanding waistlines of Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen, former Kansas coach Mark Mangino or East Carolina’s Ruffin McNeil or the total immersion into football of Meyer, Nick Saban or others, any doctor would tell you it’s a recipe for disaster. Fortunately according to doctors, Dantonio, 54, is in good physical condition and that limited the damage, though he still underwent surgery to put a stent in a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart.. And somehow at age 83, Joe Paterno shoulders on at Penn State. Bobby Bowden made it to 80 before his ugly ouster at Florida State. Alas maybe it’s that these gentlemen coached mostly in a time long before today’s often vicious Internet, talk radio world that turns heroes into bums in a matter of seconds. In the end, maybe some coaches fear what little life holds after the thrill-stress rollercoaster of coaching is finally gone. One of the greatest ever, Paul “Bear” Bryant died at 69 less than a month after coaching his final game at Alabama in 1983. The cause of death was a massive heart attack — one Bryant had sarcastically predicted following a 21-15 Liberty Bowl win over Illinois in his final game. When asked what he would do in retirement, Bryant quipped that he would “probably croak in a week.”

The Catawba notebook ... Julian Hartsell, a senior defensive tackle who turned 22 in March, is one of the team’s cerebral, poised veterans, and he turned in one of the best games of his career on Saturday. Hartsell earned Catawba Defensive Player of the Week honors. He had three solo tackles and three assists and was in on three sacks. Catawba had six sacks, a figure which didn’t seem possible when Shaw took the field with an imposing offensive line full of 300HARTSELL pounders. “We watched film all week of NFL teams and other college teams, looking for an edge,” Hartsell explained. “It was a big challenge, but we saw that while they were bigger, we were faster. The key was to make their big guys have to move laterally, where we had the advantage. “Then there were some times when we got them moving and surprised them with a bull rush.” Hartsell shared a sack with redshirt freshman Damien Lee that produced a safety. Lee, veteran Brandon Sutton and new face Corey Steward, who had a sack and knocked down a pass, had outstanding games on the defensive line. “Some of the young guys look up to me because I’m a senior,” Hartsell said. “But I tell them don’t think about being as STEWARD good as me, be better than me. Dream big — like a child dreams big. “Damien Lee is going to a great player. He hustles every play. He has a great motor. Once his technique catches up to his effort, he’ll be unstoppable.” 

TYRANNOSAURUS TREX: Kicker Thomas Trexler was named Special Teams Player of the Week for the second straight time and also earned SAC weekly honors. Trexler’s kicking contribution was obvious — three field goals, three PATS — but it was his tackle on a kickoff, something he’s done often over the years — that had people buzzing. Catawba had just taken a 14-0 lead when Trexler sent a kickoff to the Shaw 1

The NFL notebook ... SAN FRANCISCO — Jerry Rice’s No. 80 now hangs from the upper deck at Candlestick Park alongside all the other San Francisco 49ers greats. Rice’s jersey was retired during a halftime ceremony Monday night, when the Niners hosted the defending Super Bowl champion Saints. Rice played the first 16 of his 21 NFL seasons with San Francisco, from 1985-2000. The Hall of Fame wide receiver holds virtually every significant receiving mark, including most career receptions (1,549); yards receiving (22,895); total touchdowns (208); and combined net yards (23,546) in his career with San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle. BUSH HURT NEW ORLEANS — Reggie Bush has a broken right fibula which is not expected to be season ending, though the injury could sideline him about six weeks. The bone in Bush’s lower

right leg was broken when he was recovering his muffed punt in the Saints’ 2522 Monday night victory at San Francisco with 6:58 remaining. He had trouble catching the ball at windy Candlestick Park and was injured during the scrum after he dove for the ball and players landed on him. “Last second it kind of shifted a little bit, just enough for me to drop it,” he said. “I tried to recover it and somebody took my leg out. I don’t know who it was, what happened or how it happened. I just know my leg got taken out. That’s it. “It hurt like hell,” Bush said. “When I got back up and tried to walk on it, it felt terrible.” REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — Running back Larry Johnson has been released by the Washington Redskins after gaining 2 yards on five carries in two games with the team. Tuesday’s move comes two days after Johnson lost 10 yards on one of his two runs in Washington’s 30-27

COWBOYS FROM 1B and jocks?” Some of us think Jerry would like to hire himself as head coach. So for him to sit back and not get hands-on when his football team is sinking quicker than the Titanic seems out of character. “It’s the same inclination that anybody would have — let’s do this or don’t do that or let’s sit this guy or don’t. All of that is there, but that is not the way you make these decisions,” he said. At the same time, he is not trying to hide his feelings, mainly because he doesn’t know how. “I am mad. I am upset. I very frustrated and I am extremely disappointed right now,” he said. Once upon a time, Jerry Jones fired a head coach who had just won his two straight Super Bowls because he wouldn’t invite him to sit down and have a drink with him. Imagine what that old Jerry Jones



GOOD PROBLEM: Hester said it took considerable discussion to determine players of the week, and that’s always a positive thing. QB Patrick Dennis’s mobility was limited by a bad ankle but he still threw for 296 yards. Brandon Bunn (five catches, 73 yards) was solid as always. Hester said running back Josh BUNN Wright, who gained 93 yards, “ran with a refusal to go down.” 

INJURIES: Wright’s performance was essential on Saturday because backups Bobby Morrison (ankle) and Rashaun Gaither (shoulder) were sidelined. Linebacker Aaron Rainey, a high school fullback, rushed four times for 12 yards and gave Wright some breathers. Y-back Grayson Downs (shoulder) practiced Monday, and it would be huge to have the senior standout back in the lineup for the Wingate game on Oct. 2. 

TWO IN A ROW: Considering it lost to St. Augustine’s opening night, Catawba may have been an underdog on its home field against talented Shaw, which had two former ACC players, but it came through with a nice victory. “It was stressful with some people telling us how sorry we were after we lost to St. Aug’s,” receiver Gerron Bryant said. “But we know we’re 10 times better than we played in our first game. It’s a new day now, and I like it.” Hester agreed Catawba has made progress and he likes the effort and chemistry, but he cautioned the Indians have to improve if they’re going to compete with the best in the SAC. He said the Indians will prepare today and Thursday as if they were playing this weekend. The team will get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off, while the coaches get an early start on recruiting.

No. 80 hangs high with 49ers greats Associated Press

late in the first quarter. Shaw’s Raymond Williams fielded the ball and nearly went all the way. There was nothing but green grass behind him when Trexler stopped him at the Shaw 39. “I think it was definitely a touchdownsaver,” Catawba coach Chip Hester said. “You hope in that situation your kicker can just slow him up a little to give guys a chance to catch up, but Thomas brought him down with a form tackle.”

would do to Wade Phillips right now. But on Sunday he even defended probably the biggest bonehead coaching decision of the game. After rookie Dez Bryant returned a punt return 62 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, it seemed to be the jump-start the Dallas offense needed. The defense already was playing pretty well. But a pooch kick was called on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Bears starting field position at their own 42. Just three plays later, tight end Greg Olsen turned a short pass into a 39-yard touchdown. I expected to see Jones rush down from his luxury suite, grab the Son-ofBum by his neck and strangle him. A jury of his peers would never convict him. It was the dumbest coaching move since the end of the first half last week in Washington. Instead, it was OK with a Jerry. “That was a very aggressive play, but when you try them, they might backfire on you,” he said. “But by my makeup, I can understand that kind of risk-taking to gain additional momentum. We were

The NFL fined Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh $15,000 Tuesday for impermissible verbal and physical contact with an official. PLAYER FINED EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for tossing his helmet into the stands against the Indianapolis Colts. STEELERS PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dennis Dixon will have left knee surgery Wednesday and is out indefinitely, meaning Byron Leftwich or Charlie Batch will start Sunday.

trying to take a risk, and it didn’t work.” The Cowboys owner said in his opinion the biggest problem with this team right now is it has started slowly in both games. “You can look at our roster and talk about our talent all you want to, but if you let a team be within striking range of you at the end of a ballgame, you will lose a big majority of them. We are doing that. We are letting teams be there at the end of games, and we are not getting the downhill runs at them early. That is taking its toll. Only three teams have ever started 0-2 and gone to a Super Bowl — 1993 Cowboys, the 2001 Patriots and the 2007 Giants. Surprisingly, Jerry is not talking about Super Bowls right now. Even though the next one will be right here in February. “The farthest thing from my mind right now is this team not playing in the Super Bowl. I just want to get on the winning track,” he said. He knows the Cowboys are going to take a lot of heat until they finally get on that track.

TURBEVILLE, S.C. — NFL Hall of Fame coach and NASCAR team owner Joe Gibbs has told a group of 600 South Carolina inmates that they can find a second chance in religion. Gibbs spoke Tuesday in the sweltering yard of the Turbeville Correctional Institution. He told inmates they should choose to play for God, who is on the winning team. Gibbs says inmates should follow the rules of life laid out in the Bible, which he called the playbook. Gibbs told the prisoners of his own bankruptcy almost 30 years ago and said none of their problems are too big for God. Gibbs won three Super Bowls with the Washington Redskins and his NASCAR team has won three NASCAR Sprint Cup titles.

DODGERS LOS ANGELES — Jamie McCourt testified that she didn’t read a postnuptial agreement she signed that gives the Los Angeles Dodgers solely to her husband if they divorce.

R118952

She wants a judge to throw out the pact and split the Dodgers, the stadium and the surrounding property worth hundreds of millions of dollars between her and Frank McCourt. The testimony by the former Dodgers CEO said she and her estranged husband frequently talked about selling the team if they couldn’t turn around its financial misfortunes. The Dodgers were hemorrhaging tens of millions of dollars every year under the previous owners before the team was purchased in 2004 for about $430 million, according to court documents.

NHL RALEIGH — The Carolina Hurricanes have signed first-round draft pick Jeff Skinner to a three-year entry-level contract. The team said Tuesday that Skinner would make $810,000 per season at the NHL level or $67,500 in the minors. He also will receive a $270,000 signing bonus. General manager Jim Rutherford calls the 18year-old center “an important part of the future for the Hurricanes.”

Twins clinch Central Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Twins clinched the AL Central division title on Tuesday night with a 6-4 come-from-behind victory over the Cleveland Indians and a loss by the Chicago White Sox in Oakland. The Twins scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to rally from a 4-2 deficit and beat the Indians. Then they hung around the Target Field clubhouse to watch the Sox lost to the Athletics. A few hundred hearty fans hung around the Twins dugout to celebrate with them, and several of the players returned to the field to urge them on. It’s the first time in three years the AL Central hasn’t come down to a one-game playoff. The White Sox beat the Twins in Game 163 in 2009, and the Twins beat the Tigers in the extra game last season. Denard Span’s RBI-single highlighted the four-run eighth inning for the Twins. “Tonight was a description of how this whole season has been for us,” Span said. “Just playing resilient.” Athletics 7, White Sox 2 OAKLAND, Calif. — Trevor Cahill pitched eight solid innings for his teamleading 17th win, sending the White Sox to their eighth consecutive loss. Kurt Suzuki and Cliff Pennington drove in two runs apiece for the A’s, who pounded out 13 hits off Chicago starter Mark Buehrle and one reliever. Yankees 8, Rays 3 NEW YORK — Nick Swisher homered off James Shields (13-13) to key a fiverun burst in the first inning. New York cut its magic number for clinching a playoff spot to three over Boston. Orioles 9, Red Sox 1 BOSTON — Ty Wigginton hit a tie-breaking threerun homer in the seventh. Angels 2, Rangers 0 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Ervin Santana allowed five hits while earning his career-best 17th victory. Royals 9, Tigers 6 DETROIT — Mike Aviles drove in three runs, and rookie Jerrod Dyson scored three times for Kansas City. Blue Jays 5, Mariners 3 TORONTO — Vernon Wells and Travis Snider hit two-run homers for Toronto. NATIONAL LEAGUE Giants 1, Cubs 0 CHICAGO — Matt Cain and three relievers combined on a two-hitter and Buster Posey homered. Padres 6, Dodgers 0 LOS ANGELES — Clayton Richard pitched his first shutout, and the Padres remain a half-game behind the NL West-leading Giants. D’backs 3, Rockies 1 PHOENIX — Kelly Johnson hit a two-run homer to back Joe Saunders’ eightinning gem. Other than pinch-hitter Ryan Spilborghs’ run-scoring single in the eighth, Colorado couldn’t get much off Saunders (3-6) to drop 21⁄2 games behind San Francisco. Marlins 5, Mets 2 MIAMI — Gaby Sanchez hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth. The loss officially eliminated the Mets from playing in the postseason. Reds 4, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Edinson Volquez allowed one run over eight innings and Cincinnati held on for the win. Francisco Cordero converted the save, but two runs scored with two outs on two errors when right fielder Jay Bruce made a wild throw that also went through Cordero’s legs. Pirates 5, Cardinals 2 PITTSBURGH — Paul Maholm became the latest pitcher to shut down St. Louis, which suffered its 24th loss in 36 games. The Pirates remain two losses from their first 100-loss season since 2001. Nationals 8, Astros 4 WASHINGTON — Ivan Rodriguez hit a tying homer off the left-field pole to spark a seven-run rally with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning.

Halladay wins 20th Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Roy Halladay broke out a bottle 5 of champagne to Phillies 3 celebrate his latBraves est achievement. He knows the bubbly will taste even sweeter when he gets to the postseason for the first time. Halladay became Philadelphia’s first 20-game winner in 28 years, Jayson Werth hit a three-run homer and the Phillies increased their lead in the NL East to five games with their ninth straight win, 5-3 over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night. Halladay (20-10) allowed three runs and seven hits in seven innings to reach 20 wins for the third time in his career. Hall of Famer Steve Carlton was the last to do it for the Phillies when he won 23 in 1982. Robin Roberts, another Hall of Famer, was the last

right-hander to win 20 for Philadelphia, in 1955. “It’s definitely special but the best part about it is it’s been secondary for me,” Halladay said. “Being able to get to the playoffs is the priority.” The Phillies reduced their magic number for clinching their fourth consecutive division title to six games. The two-time defending NL champions are 43-15 since July 21, when they trailed the Braves by seven games. They are 17-3 this month. Atlanta’s Freddie Freeman hit his first major league homer, a solo shot as a pinch hitter off Halladay in the seventh. Halladay followed up an impressive start by Cole Hamels. Next up is Roy Oswalt. The Braves send Tommy Hanson to the mound as they try to avoid a sweep tonight. “Our focus is on winning (Wednesday) night,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said.

Torre says he’s sorry Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Dodgers manager Joe Torre said Tuesday he was sorry for saying he was curious about the New York Mets job, and current Mets manager Jerry Manuel accepted the apology after taking offense earlier in the day. “It certainly wasn’t my intention of doing that and making people believe that I wanted to manage the Mets,” Torre said. METS NEW YORK — Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez is scheduled to face contempt charges that he violated a judge’s order not to contact his girlfriend. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown says Rodriguez is to be arraigned today on charges that he violated an order of protection by sending text messages to his girlfriend. CUBS CHICAGO — Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin remained in stable condition in a Miami hospital after part of a broken bat punctured his chest. Teammate Andrew Cashner said Colvin told him on Tuesday that a chest tube that was used to prevent a collapsed lung had been removed. He said Colvin “was in high spirits.” PHILLIES PHILADELPHIA — A costumed Phillies fan who ran onto the field and briefly eluded security guards at Citizens Bank Park has been released from juvenile detention. The parents of 17-year-old Sean Hagan of Philadelphia picked him up Tuesday afternoon. Gary and Barbara Hagan apologized for their son’s actions. They say he will be punished for putting himself and players at risk. The teen walked out of custody dressed in the head-to-toe red spandex suit police say he was wearing when he ran onto the field Monday night. He faces disorderly conduct and related charges.

Hagan was apprehended by security guards after Atlanta Braves left fielder Matt Diaz tripped him. CARDINALS PITTSBURGH — Cardinals infielder Felipe Lopez was released a day after he was late arriving for a game against Florida. Lopez accompanied the Cardinals to Pittsburgh to begin a three-game series but was told before Tuesday’s game by manager Tony La Russa and general manager John Mozeliak that he was being let go. “He was late, and it was not the first time,” Mozeliak said. “When you think about what we’re trying to accomplish here, we brought up a lot of young players with our September callups, and we wanted to make sure they understand the message we want heard. It really came down to a tipping point and it was either just not play him or allow him to go home.” ANGELS ANAHEIM, Calif. — Kendry Morales returned to the Angels’ dugout on Tuesday before his teammates faced the Texas Rangers during their final homestand. On May 29, Morales broke his leg jumping on home plate to celebrate a game-ending grand slam. “You just get caught up in the emotion of the game, the victory,” Morales said through a translator in his first public comments about the injury. “You think about what would have happened if I didn’t jump, but it was an accident. It happened, and all I can do is move forward.” RANGERS ANAHEIM, Calif. — Josh Hamilton hopes to return to the lineup before the end of the regular season despite tests Tuesday revealing the Texas slugger has two broken ribs. TWINS MINNEAPOLIS — The Twins say an MRI on Joe Mauer’s sore left knee shows only tissue inflammation and no structural damage.

I have been taking 25 micrograms of thyroid medication since May. The goiter on the right side of my neck is noticeable. On May 21, my TSH was 4.53. In July, it was 3.5. Can you please explain the ultrasound results in English? Should I ask my docDR. PETER tor for an increase in my GOTT Synthroid dosage or wait for the next lab work in October? Dear Reader: The thyroid gland is situated in the lower neck — below the larynx and above the collarbone. This gland uses iodine to make hormones essential for the proper function of every cell in the body. The pituitary gland and hypothalamus at the base of the brain regulate the rate at which the hor-

mones are produced and released. The TSH to which you refer stimulates hormone production. The normal range for lab work at my local hospital is anything between 0.34 and 5.60. Thus, by these standards, both your readings were normal. The most common causes of a goiter are from the overor underproduction of thyroid hormones, nodules that develop within the gland or a lack of iodine in the diet, which, in the United States, is uncommon. A goiter doesn’t necessarily indicate that the thyroid gland is malfunctioning. Even when visibly enlarged, the thyroid may produce sufficient hormones or too much or too little thyroxine (T4) and T3 (which is the most active form of thyroid hormone). Your ultrasound revealed an abnormality of the right lower lobe without directing the abnormality to a specific lesion within the gland. Your physician has you on Synthroid because you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Your gland does not produce sufficient amounts, and your body requires sup-

plemental medication. My guess is that you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (an underactive thyroid), which can be successfully treated with medication. If questions remain, I suggest you speak with your physician or request a referral to an endocrinologist to obtain additional information on your condition. In the interim, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Thyroid Disorders.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order payable to Newsletter. Mail it to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 440920167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: A dear friend of mine had a large black mole on his face. He asked his doctor and a surgeon to remove it by freezing it. One month later, he felt sick and had a liter and a half of fluid taken out of the sack around his heart. There was blood in the fluid, and cancer was di-

agnosed. Could this have been caused by not biopsying and having surgical removal of what turned out to be a melanoma? He died in one month. Dear Reader: My guess is the “mole” was far more advanced than anyone anticipated. The fluid (pericardial effusion) could have resulted from the accumulation of blood after a surgical procedure or from an injury. The additional pressure on the heart results in poor function and can cause failure or even death. I cannot comment on whether the skin cancer was related to the cardiac cancer. It is possible, but I don’t know whether it is likely. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Taking 10 tricks with four losers BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Hobart Brown, a sculptor who died in 2007, said, “Money doesn’t always bring happiness. People with 10 million dollars are no happier than people with nine million dollars.” At the bridge table, though, if you are in a four-level contract, you will be much happier with 10 tricks than another declarer who won only nine. In this deal, you are in four spades. West leads the diamond nine. East wins with his ace and returns the diamond 10 to your king. You cash the spade king, then play a spade to dummy’s jack. There is good news — the finesse wins; but there is bad news — East discards a diamond. Now you seem to have one loser in each suit. How would you continue? North, with that dangerouslooking queen-third of diamonds, was nervous in jumping to four spades, but couldn’t do less with 13 high-card points. You have a discard coming on dummy’s diamond queen. However, you need to take it at the right moment. (Yes, West will trump it, but at the cost of his trump trick.) The critical play comes at trick five. You must lead a low heart from the dummy. How does East defend? If he wins with his ace, you can throw two low clubs on

dummy’s red-suit queens. If he plays low, you win with your king, play a spade to dummy’s ace, and pitch your second heart on the diamond queen. In either case, you have only three losers. Finally, note that if West had held the heart ace, you would have had to start the suit from your hand. But East’s overcall and trick-two suit-preference signal told you which way to turn.
