Committee: Make up $1.3M shortfall from fund balance

The time of reckoning had

The Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education Budget and Finance Committee agreed Thursday to recommend that a projected $1,332,300 shortfall in its proposed 2010-11 budget be taken from the school system’s $6 million fund balance. Committee member Bryce Beard said he agreed with the recommendation by Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom and Chief Financial Officer Tara Trexler. Karen South Carpenter, the other member of the committee, said she didn’t like the school system having to use part of its fund balance to cover operating expenses, but would go along with it. Trexler said she would not recommend something that she felt would put the school system at risk. She and Grissom said school officials would continue to be very conservative and try to save money to replenish the fund balance. This year, for example, Grissom said the school system was able to save money by holding virtual administrative meetings, allowing 60 school administrators to watch and participate in meetings online, saving the travel expense and time of having to drive to the central office every other month. This year, she said even more meetings may be held online. The Rowan County Board of Commissioners’ decision Monday to increase local funding to the school system by $690,000 (Chairman Carl Ford

the board, giving him the top

and bottom pieces of a stool he was constructing for his carpentry merit badge. The teeth of the saw dug in, and 12-year-old Keopaseut, a member of Troop 448 in Salisbury, was officially a tool guy. All around him, other Boy Scouts were in various stages on their own projects. Paul Groesbeck of Troop 315 in Charlotte, said the sessions in carpentry involve sawing, planing, sanding, nailing and staining to come up with a foot stool he plans to find a spot for in his bedroom at home. “Maybe stand something on it,” Groesbeck said of his stool’s future. Ryan Leonard, another Troop 448 member, unclamped a piece of wood and looked around for staff leader Josh Schenk of Rockwell for guidance on what came next. “I’ve cut everything,” Leonard reported. The carpentry merit badge, which requires the building of furniture unassisted, is one of four brought out of long hibernation this year to celebrate Boy Scouts of America’s 100th year. Available only through Dec. 31 before they are retired again, the other vintage merit badges are pathfinding, tracking and signaling — all offered this summer at the Central N.C. Council’s Camp Barnhardt. Some 350 Scouts and staff

As temperatures soar toward 100 degrees, law enforcement and emergency officials are urging families, neighbors and friends to look out for the elderly, the young and those with chronic health issues. “This weather is deadly,” said Deputy Chief Steve Whitley of the Salisbury Police Department. The Air Quality Index hit red late Wednesday, the unhealthy level where everyone is urged to avoid prolonged outdoor activity. Today’s forecast for Rowan and the Charlotte region is Code Orange, with air quality unhealthy for sensitive groups, children and those with heart or respiratory disease.

Local authorities back statewide DNA database for investigations BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost.com

Top local law enforcement officials are supporting the creation of a statewide DNA databank to aid in criminal investigations. Currently, 23 other states and the federal government are allowed to collect DNA samples from arrests. A court order or warrant is now required in North Carolina to obtain a DNA sample, typically a sample of blood. District Attorney Bill Kenerly, Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten and Salisbury Police Chief Rory Collins all support the database as proposed in House Bill 1403. The bill, which is still working its way through the House, calls for of-

ficers to take a cheek swab from all those charged in a wide range of crimes including burglaries, arson, robbery, rape and other sex offenses. It also includes those arrested for cyberstalking and stalking. The bill includes a provision that if charges are dismissed or if the person is found not guilty, the DNA information would not be retained in the database, and the sample would be destroyed. Kenerly said the proposed DNA database would provide tremendous assistance to law enforcement. But Kenerly acknowledged groups concerned about possible other uses of DNA and the potential for invasion of privacy. Kenerly said the provision to remove and destroy the DNA sample

of those found not guilty should lessen opposition to the proposal. The longtime district attorney, who will retire at the end of this year, said the database with DNA from convicted felons has been helpful. Collins said he is very much in support of the database. “In the long run, it will help solve criminal cases that we may not otherwise be able to solve,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction.” He said the extra bit of work to collect the swabs will be worth the time. And Collins said a database could also help in identifying bodies that can’t otherwise be identified. Kenerly also noted the need to make sure the legislation includes adequate funding for equipment and

for the lab that would be operated by the SBI. The current N.C. DNA database includes samples from all convicted felons through passage of a 2003 law. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper said that database has helped solve more than 1,400 cases over the past 15 years. According to a statement from Cooper, the expanded database with

BOARD FROM 1a and Tina Hall opposed) left school officials with an anticipated shortfall of $2.6 million. Alreadyplanned cuts (See box) will cover $1,267,700 of that amount. Among them is freezing three administrative positions filled by employees retiring this year, including the director of student services position currently held by Tim Smith. Grissom said at some point in time, the school system will have to stop cutting its administrative staff as some are already putting in 12, 14 and 16 hours a day to keep up with their workload. Covering the remaining $1,332,300 shortfall with money from the fund balance is the first of four scenarios Grissom and Trexler will present to the board at its June 30 meeting next Wednesday. Though board meetings are normally held on the fourth Monday, the June meeting is always held on the 30th to allow members to pass a budget with the most current information available. Scenario No. 2 calls for a 35 percent cut in certified teacher supplements totalling $1,362,809. Scenario No. 3 calls for cutting 27 teaching positions totalling $1.35 million. A Scenario No. 4 calls for a combination of proposed and possible cuts. (See box.) With the state budget still not completed, Grissom said the school board may end up having to make additional cuts beyond the anticipated $1,332,300 shortfall. “It could be more,” she said, “but I don’t think there’s any way

risburg. Under Johnson’s tutelage, Williams was learning how to lash poles together using ropes. Johnson, whose old troop was based out of Christiana Lutheran Church, has been coming to Barnhardt as a Scout or summer staff member since 2002. Camp Barnhardt — with more than 1,000 acres next to Badin Lake — has become the jewel of Central N.C. Council, Weatherman said. Scouts first started coming here in 1966. Besides emphasizing Scouting’s centennial cele-

it could be less.” Of concern is a $500 million cut in Medicaid reimbursement from the federal government. State legislators “have got to have a budget that shows $500 million worth of cuts,” Grissom said, “and they are continuing to work on that.” Rowan County Commissioner Jon Barber, who said he has attended the Budget and Finance Committee meetings regularly for three years, spoke at the beginning. First, he clarified that it was county commissioners, not school officials, who came up with the idea of moving the school system’s administrative offices to the former Department of Social Services building on West Innes Street. Due to the poor economy, Barber said school officials had dropped the idea of pursuing a new central office location last March. “But yet they continue to get the blame,” he said. Barber also noted that school officials had provided county commissioners with copies of their requested budget in early April, giving them almost two months to ask questions. To wait until the last minute and raise questions was unfair, he said. He complimented school personnel on their hard work, saying he was worried that continued reductions in staff would prevent them from having time to talk with the students and find out how best to meet their needs. “Is that where we want to go?” he asked. Barber noted that he was speaking not as a county commissioner or a teacher, but as “Citizen Jon Barber, Farmer Jon Barber.” Contact Kathy Chaffin at 704797-4249.

bration and history through the vintage merit badges, Camp Barnhardt had a special memorabilia night Thursday with artifacts as old as a 1917 Scout membership card. The camp has a 53-person staff working from Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning, when they are allowed to go home for about 24 hours before reporting back for another week. The staff members range in age from 15 to 72. This is the first summer newly built cabins have been available for the staffers. In the past, they

have had to sleep in tents. Three to four men are housed in each of the 12 new cabins, supplied with electricity and ceiling fans. The camp also has a bungalow for senior staff and patrol leaders, plus a remote cabin or two on the site. Schenk, the young staffer overseeing the carpentry program, said he liked the idea that the merit badge was only coming out of retirement for the 100year celebration. Some of the excitement and value to the merit badge would be lost otherwise. “It’s pretty cool,” he said.

Deputies routinely do welfare checks on the elderly and others when family members aren’t able to get in touch with them. Sifford noted deputies doing welfare checks are finding more instances in which a person has died. Sifford said that is likely due to more and more people living alone.

members have descended on Barnhardt for the first of six weeks that summer camp is offered here. This first week provides 63 different merit badge options for the campers, many of whom are from Rowan County. Rowan County Scouts include who are at Camp Barnhardt this week include Troops 315, 442, 443 and 448 of Salisbury, 373 of Sandy Ridge and 320 of Woodleaf. Kannapolis is represented by Troops 34, 36, 206 and 254. Central N.C. Council encompasses 330 troops over seven counties and eight Scouting districts. Of the 11,000 boys being served in the council, about 70 percent will attend one of the weeklong summer programs at Barnhardt, Camp Director and District Executive Bob Weatherman said. With the 90-plus-degree heat and lack of rain, much of the first week has been sticky and dusty. At every merit badge station, Scout leaders are making sure water is available. “It’s been warm,” Weatherman says. “Everybody’s doing well, but we would really enjoy a shower.” The four vintage merit badges were all first offered in 1911, but three — carpentry, pathfinding and tracking — were discontinued in 1952. The fourth, signaling, was retired in 1992.

Signaling requires Scouts to use flags and Morse code to send messages. Scouts learn to distinguish various animal footprints in tracking, and pathfinding is all about knowing one’s way around. Staff member Sean Daley led a Tuesday morning class through some of the basic “dits” and “dashes” of Morse code. Daley himself was a student in the weeks leading up to camp. “I told them I didn’t know anything about semaphore or Morse, but I was willing to learn,” Daley said. Earning the signaling merit badge is difficult, especially in a week’s time. The Scouts will have to be proficient enough to send Morse code and semaphore messages at 30 to 35 letters a minute. It means considerable study outside of the daily 50-minute classes. “That sounds like a truck backing up, or an old man cursing at kids,” one of the Scouts complained about trying to decipher the Morse signals Daley was sending out. But soon the Scouts were identifying the word messages, such as “time,” “mesh” and “home,” as Daley gave them hints on how to group the dits and dashes for easier letter recall. Nearby, Outdoor Skills Director Chandler Johnson, a rising junior at N.C. State University, was doing some one-on-one instruction in pioneering with Matt Williams, a Scout from Har-

Palin fund illegal; donors will get money back ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Thousands of donors who contributed to a $390,000 legal defense fund for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will get their money back after an investigator said Thursday the fund was illegal because it was misleadingly described on a website. State Personnel Board investigator Timothy Petumenos said the Alaska Fund Trust inappropriately used the word “official” on its website, wrongly implying that it was endorsed by Palin in her role as governor. But Petumenos also found that Palin — the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee — acted in good faith and relied on a team of attorneys to make sure the fund was lawful and complied with the Alaska Executive Branch Act. Palin’s attorney, Thomas Van Flein, said the trust brought in almost $390,000 before Palin stepped down as governor July 26, 2009. More than $33,000 has since been donated, but Van Flein said that money will go toward $87,680 the trust has incurred in administrative and other expenses. “She supports this process 100 percent, and I think she agreed to this resolution because it was the right thing to do,” Van Flein said. “She never instructed anybody to do anything that would not comply with federal law or state law.” Another defense fund was set up Thursday for Palin as a private citizen to pay off the

rest of the debt. Petumenos, an attorney, said another problem with the Alaska Fund Trust involved the selection of a public official to administer it. Petumenos’ report notes that Kristan Cole holds positions on important boards and commissions, including an appointment by Palin to the Board of Agriculture and Conservation. Thursday’s findings are an outgrowth from a preliminary, confidential report by another board investigator that also implicated Palin. Petumenos said the first investigator, attorney Thomas Daniel, withdrew as independent counsel for the personnel board after Palin challenged the participation of his law firm, which had ties to President Barack Obama, who defeated Palin’s former running mate John McCain in the presidential election. The earlier report was issued less than two weeks after Palin announced she was resigning from office last July. In announcing her resignation, Palin cited the toll of the ethics probes as one of the reasons she was stepping down. She has said she racked up at least $500,000 in legal fees. Palin’s friends and supporters created the Alaska Fund Trust in April 2009, limiting donations to $150 per person. An ethics complaint was filed soon after by Eagle River resident Kim Chatman, who alleged Palin was misusing her official position and

Chatman said she was glad the case came to a resolution, although she felt it fell short. “I’m ecstatic the truth came out, but I don’t understand how they said this was a good faith effort on her part and they’re going to blame it on her attorneys,” Chatman said. “She’s never accountable for anything.” The multiple ethics complaints include an investigation by state lawmakers over Palin’s firing of her public safety commissioner in the so-called Troopergate scandal, as well as a complaint over state-paid trips Palin took with her children as governor. In the family travel complaint, also investigated by Petumenos, Palin agreed to reimburse the state about $8,000 for costs associated with nine trips taken by her children.

Spectra Records plans concert to benefit DSS food pantry Spectra Records, an international independent record label is hosting a concert during the July 4 weekend with proceeds to benefit the Rowan County Department of Social Services food bank. Bob Rappucci, who works for the South Carolina-based company as its senior marketing director, was scouting the area to host a concert when he

came across a public service announcement from Social Services on Access 16 asking for help to fill its food pantry. The food helps families who are applying for the Food and Nutrition Services Program, but have not yet received benefits. Freedom Fest 2010 is coming to town Saturday, July 3 at the Rowan County Fairgrounds on Julian Road. This will be an all day event full of music and fun for the

entire family. The gates open at 10 a.m. and the first band begins at noon. There will be eight bands performing throughout the night with a special performance by ShanyTown featuring second generation members of the Van Zant family and former members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special. Many of the bands are from the Charlotte area and ShanyTown is from Jacksonville, Fla.

Children 10 and younger are free while adult tickets are $15, but with three or more canned foods and/or other nonpershiable food items, $5 will be taken off the ticket price. People with military IDs can receive their ticket for half price. “I saw that the food pantry was running low,” Rappucci said. This is a one-day concert with plenty for people to do, he said.

“This is our first event here. We want the food bank to be overwhelmed,” Rappucci said. There will be a car show with some of the area’s best car clubs participating. Also Dale Earnhardt’s number three Goodwrench Chevrolet will be on display. There will be inflatable jump castles, dunk tanks, arts and craft vendors as well as cotton candy, elephant ears, snow cones and other food vendors. Also local restaurants have

ANNAPOLIS — The racetrack, ready for action, shimmering in the 98-degree heat. Nineteen race cars, ready for speed. A crowd waving and cheering them on. Welcome to zucchini racing. As part of yesterday’s weekly N.C. Research Campus Farmers Market, the Zucchini 500 drew a crowd of kids who wanted to decorate a car and attack the track. It’s the second year the event has been held at the farmers market, which is open every week on Thursdays downtown in Cannon Village between the former hugh fisher/SALISBURY POST Cabarrus Bank building and Competitors in the Zucchini 500 stand by their cars Thursday afternoon at the downtown farmers market.

Now he carried it back to his dad, Jason, to get it ready for the third heat. The younger Epley called his zucchini race car “The Rocker.” “It does rock a little,” he said. The car was his own design: pipe cleaners, a wooden dowel as a decorative mast and wheels from Pinewood Derby cars that he and his father had built in the past. “(Jason) built that car 30 years ago!” his mother Amy Epley said.

RowanWorks has taken data collected at a March civic forum and created a website with a theme: “Positive Rowan: Working Together to Improve our Community.” The site, www.positiverowan.com, is much like the forum in that it connects participants from the forum to each other and gives them various ways to communicate, exchange ideas and work together in groups on different projects. New members are welcome and encouraged to sign up. Those who attended the forum have received an invitation to join the site. And for those wanting to join, visit the site and sign up. It’s a secure site and asks users to create a username and password. The survey (which is the same one from the forum) is available on RowanWorks’ site — www.rowanworks.com — and provides a way for the user to figure out which groups they fit into and to which groups they can contribute.

Meals on Wheels gets $5,000 grant

Report: Candidate’s mom hires cleaners, gets cleaned out BY JESSIE BURCHETTE jburchette@salisburypost.com

The mother of a former candidate for sheriff told authorities she hired some people to clean her house — and they instead cleaned her out. Mildred Eller, mother of Jack Eller, who ran unsuccessfully in the Democratic primary, called the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday to report thousands of dollars worth of tools, pocket watches and coins missing from her home

at 280 Oak Mountain Road. Mildred Eller told deputies she had hired Linda Swink of Woodleaf to clean the house, and she brought along two additional people. The house had been vacant for a few weeks since Eller’s husband died. When Mildred Eller checked the house around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, she realized it had been cleaned out. Capt. John Sifford, of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, said when deputies arrived, Mildred Eller

called Swink to come back to the Oak Mountain Road house. Sifford said Swink brought along Jill Karen Gibbie and Joseph Daniel Gibbie Jr, both of Stanley, the two people who had helped with the cleaning. According to the report, Joseph Gibbie admitted he took the missing items and “was going to ask for them the next day.” Sifford said Swink told deputies the Gibbies rode with her Tuesday, and that they didn’t take anything. Sifford said the couple apparently

returned to the house later and took the items valued at more than $4,000. Deputies searched the Kia Sportage driven by Jill Gibbie and recovered pocket watches, coins, hand tools and clothing belonging to Eller’s dead husband. Joseph Daniel Gibbie Jr., 41, and Jill Karen Gibbie, 55, both of of 7682 Ottis Circle, Stanley, were charged with one count each of larceny and possession of stolen goods.

Meals on Wheels of Rowan has received $5,000 from the Food Lion Charitable Foundation and will use the gift to cover the cost of hot noon meals delivered to the homebound of Rowan County. “We are thrilled to receive this grant. Each day, more than 184 meals are delivered throughout Rowan County,” said Executive Director Rita Sims. Sims said 63 percent of the agency’s clients are currently unable to pay full cost of the meal service. “This grant helps us continue serving the homebound of Rowan County,” she said. Meals on Wheels is a nonprofit, community-based Rowan County United Way Agency that provides hot, nutritious meal and a personal visit each weekday to area homebound residents. This allows them to remain independent and in their own homes where they wish to be and are most comfortable, the agency says. Anyone interested in volunteering can call Meals on Wheels at 704-6330352. For more information, log on to www.mowrowannc.org.

Oak Park Retirement was abuzz recently with the Senior Fair and Open House presented by Rowan Education & Advocacy for Choices in Health Care (REACH). REACH is a nonprofit group of care providers, primarily to seniors, formed three years ago to help educate the community on care options in Rowan County and network within the industry. Glenda Long of Salisbury visited each vendor and found the event to be “fantastic.” “I have learned so much about options that I never knew were here,” she said. Both attendees and vendors were pleased with the steady stream of seniors and the information that was shared. REACH member and exhibitor Jo Kearns of Smart Choice Senior Transitions was pleased with the event. “This was a great opportunity for all our providers to get the word out in the community about REACH,” Kearns said. A buffet breakfast was served and 20 exhibitors and vendors were on hand to discuss their programs and services, including medical care providers, retirement centers, and the YMCA.

POSITIVE FROM 4a Positive Rowan, which is hosted by ning.com, is very similar to other social networking sites such as Facebook. Users can join groups, send messages, add photos, videos and documents, and also chat live with other Positive Rowan members. “The framework is in place and the groups are there — we just need people to take a look at it,” said Robert Van Geons, executive director of the Salisbury-Rowan Economic Development Commission, also called RowanWorks. “We’re ready to get feedback from people,” he said. “We can add members as fast as they can sign up.” Van Geons said groups can be made for any idea and any project, and the survey will be changed based on input he receives. Groups can receive special notifications as people input their ideas and comments, and notifications can be sent to users’ e-mail accounts. Users can also decide when they are notified, if they choose to be notified at all. “It really allows you to control how and when you’re notified,” Van Geons said. A “latest activity” section

on the home page allows members to see every update from every user, including groups they have joined, and things they have said to friends. An “events” section allows members to see every event that has been posted by any member. Members can also customize their personal pages with different colors and fonts and easily access their inbox, view alerts, contact friends and customize other settings. To invite others to join Positive Rowan, users can upload their work or personal e-mail address book. The site also allows users to give gifts to others, posting the gifts on their page. And users can always comment on anyone’s page, as well as comment in their groups, exchanging ideas back and forth with other members. There are currently 28 groups to join, and many more to come, Van Geons said. “I hope this will be useful to all types of groups,” he said. “There’s no room for negativity on this site. It’s a way for us to communicate positively with everyone.” For any questions or technical problems, e-mail Van Geons at robert@rowanworks.com. Contact Shelley Smith at 704-797-4246.

RALEIGH (AP) — Forecasters are warning North Carolina residents of temperatures approaching triple digits and heat indices that will push even higher. Concord’s temperature hit 100 degrees at 4 p.m. Thursday, as did Jacksonville’s. Fayetteville reported 101. The National Weather Service issued heat advisories for the eastern half of the state Thursday. The advisory means uncomfortably hot temperatures are expected, and that the combination of very hot temperatures and high humidity will lead to the possibility of heat illnesses. At 3 p.m. the temperature at Raleigh-Durham International Airport reached 99 degrees, tying the record high set on the date in 1996. One hour later, the temperature was 98 at RDU.

Mate: Didn’t know I needed license MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — The crew member whose lack of a fishing license cost a boat more than $900,000 in winnings in a North Carolina tournament says he was never told that he needed one. The Daily News of Jacksonville reported that Peter Wann of Alexandria, Va., says he was never told he had to have a fishing license, although he thought he had one. Wann also says the state law and the rules of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament are ambiguous. He was a mate on the Citation, which seemed to win the tournament June 14 with its record-setting catch of an 883-pound marlin. Tournament officials later learned that Wann didn’t have the required license and gave the prize to the runner-up. One of the three owners of the Citation says Wann thought the boat had a blanket license that covers the entire crew.

Matthew Epley, 7, and father Jason Epley get Matthew’s car ready for a heat in the Zucchini 500.

Natural food experts Tamberlyn Blinsink, left, and Joilin Johnson, right, talk to children about the benefits of eating their veggies at Thursday's Zucchini 500.

(Yes, zucchini are technically fruits, just like tomatoes, but most kids lump them in with veggies.) “But zucchini can be delicious,” Beaver said. Under a nearby tent, “The Produce Lady,” Brenda Sutton of N.C. Cooperative Extension, shared her recipe and samples of Chocolate Zucchini Cake. Beyond snacks, parents need to step in and take command of their family’s choices, JoiLin Johnson said. She runs a business called Tox Free Health, which specializes in nutritional products. Her booth near the racetrack had a sign touting the benefits of brightly-colored fruits and veggies, which contain vitamins and antioxidants. There was also a less appetizing display: a fast-food kids meal Johnson claimed was purchased in June 2005. It doesn’t appear to have decayed much. And Johnson wasted no time telling the adults who stopped in at her booth of the dangers of unhealthy eating. “That’s why cancer is so prevalent among our young people,” Johnson said. “Parents don’t know how to be healthy today.” The Zucchini 500 is part of what she and others hope will be a series of healthy lifestyle choices for the next generation. Sadly, Matthew Epley didn’t come out on top when the Zucchini 500 was over. He placed third in the 9and-under category. Late in the race, one of his axles worked loose from the zucchini’s side. His dad tried to repair it, but on the next heat the car nosed into the wall. But Matthew Epley said he’ll be back next year. And he’ll be helping to make sure that Cabarrus County remains not only “The Center of American Motorsports,” as its slogan says, but the heart of zucchini racing worldwide.

Budget crunch Public financing moved from NC Senate bill RALEIGH (AP) — House and Senate Democrats worked Thursday toward finalizing a roughly $19 billion North Carolina government budget for the coming year but still had to fix another $525 million gap as Congress appears increasingly unwilling to extend a more generous Medicaid formula to the states. The budget negotiators traded offers on how to adjust public education spending in the second year of the twoyear budget approved last summer. Once a compromise is worked out, they’ll try to figure out which extra cuts to make if a six-month extension of federal support fails to materialize. Lawmakers want to present the budget, with the contingency plan for additional cuts, to Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue for her signature before the new fiscal year begins July 1. A budget bill hasn’t been passed on time since 2003. “There are some issues that remain but movement has been very deliberate but regular, and so I think they’re moving along pretty well,” Hackney, D-Orange, told reporters. “I don’t see that as an insurmountable problem” to completing a budget by June 30, he said. Sen. Linda Garrou, DForsyth, one of the leading negotiators, said earlier Thursday the goal remained to finalize the plan by Monday night. North Carolina and nearly 30 other states had counted on a combined $24 billion in Medicaid money to balance their budgets, but more federal lawmakers have become nervous about approving more U.S. government spending. Republicans in the Sen-

ate late Thursday killed an unemployment benefits bill that also contained $16 billion for the states, $343 million of which would have gone to North Carolina, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Hackney said many ideas are being discussed about how to close that hole. He said he expected furloughs of state employees would be on the table because so much of state government spending goes to worker salaries. Other cuts could be set to take effect in January, so the state could wait to see if Congress decides to provide the Medicaid money later this year, he said. Lawmakers probably wouldn’t touch the expected $150 million in the state’s rainy day reserve fund but could tap into cash in state accounts set aside for special purposes, said Rep. Mickey Michaux, D-Durham, senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Perdue tapped into lottery money and at least 18 additional pots of money in spring 2009 to close a shortfall that reached $3 billion. Democrats estimate an expected $800 million shortfall for the coming year would balloon to $1.3 billion without the extra federal dollars. The competing House and Senate plans approved weeks ago reduced the state spending plan already on the books for the coming year by at least $500 million. Republicans argue Democrats could cut more without damaging the most important state services and better prepare North Carolina for a potential $3 billion shortfall in the 2011-12 fiscal year when all federal stimulus money dries up.

RALEIGH (AP) — Senate Democratic leaders had planned to push a broad ethics, campaign finance and government reform bill through their chamber this week as time dwindles in this year’s legislative session. But they took it on the chin about the bill — first from Republicans, then good-government advocates, voters and even rank-and-file Democrats. The dissatisfaction forced the leadership on Thursday to remove a provision expanding the state’s voluntary public financing program — a favorite in the campaign reform community — and to delay a judiciary committee vote until at least early next week. “It’s a setback, it’s a big

setback,” said Damon Circosta with the North Carolina Center for Voter Education after the public financing was removed. Senate Majority Leader Martin Nesbitt, D-Buncombe, who is also the committee’s chairman, said the delay isn’t the death knell for a package that lawmakers and Gov. Beverly Perdue contend the public wants to restore confidence in a system met by a series of corruption and campaign finance investigations in recent years. “The members are searching for an answer. That’s what we do in a legislative body,” Nesbitt said. “We deliberate and we search for an answer. And we find the correct one, we’ll run the bill.”

There’s lots in the package that most lawmakers support. It beefs up penalties for giving large amounts of unlawful campaign contributions, puts more government employees under ethics and gift ban rules, doubles the “cooling-off” period ex-lawmakers

and former elected officials must wait to lobby state government and increases access to state personnel records. But Nesbitt and other Democratic authors of the package got hit with complaints as soon as it came out Tuesday in committee.

fiscal year forecast failed to top expectations, as some analysts had hoped. Meanwhile, financial stocks fell after Congress continued working on a bill to overhaul regulation of the industry. Democratic leaders hoped to reconcile the House and Senate bills so President Barack Obama can have a deal in place by the time he meets with the leaders of the Group of 20 nations this weekend in Toronto. Traders were concerned that some provisions of the bill would cut into bank profits. Large banks were lobbying to strike a proposal that would make the industry cover costs to dismantle the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Bank of America Corp. dropped 2.7 percent and JPMorgan Chase & Co. lost 2.2 percent.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Doctors would be temporarily spared a 21 percent cut in Medicare payments under a bill passed by Congress Thursday evening. The measure would delay the cuts six months while lawmakers work on a more permanent solution. The bill now goes to President Barack Obama for his signature. There was some urgency to approve the funding because Medicare announced last week it would begin processing claims it had already received for June at the lower rate. Lawmakers said some doctors have already stopped seeing new Medicare patients because of the cuts. “It is currently impacting doctors, and most importantly, seniors and military service members,” said Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Obama said he was pleased Congress passed the temporary fix but he urged lawmakers to work on a more permanent solution. “Kicking these cuts down the road just isn’t an adequate solution to the problem,” Obama said in a statement. “It’s untenable.” The funding had been part of a larger bill to provide extended unemployment benefits for laid off workers and provide states with billions of dollars to avert layoffs. Senate Republicans have been blocking the larger bill — in part because of their concerns it would add too much to the budget deficit — so Democratic leaders begrudgingly decided to pass the smaller, temporary fix for Medicare. Republicans said majority Democrats have mismanaged Medicare through their inability to pass a more permanent fix. Democrats countered that few Republicans have been willing to vote for one.

NEW YORK (AP) — Disappointing forecasts from retailers and concern about the government’s financial overhaul package pounded stocks Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 146 points after edging higher Wednesday. Broader indexes dropped for a fourth straight day. Downbeat forecasts from retailers raised concerns that high unemployment and weak consumer spending would stall an economic rebound. Nike Inc. dropped 4 percent after saying increased costs could hurt earnings. Bed Bath & Beyond fell 5.6 percent after the home goods retailer’s second-quarter earnings forecast missed expectations. Dell Inc. lost 6.4 percent after the computer maker’s

finally had iPhones, but Veronica McHenry vowed to pre-order to avoid such a scene in the future. At other stores, even people who reserved a phone waited in line for eight hours or more. Outside New York’s Fifth Avenue store, Jasmine Cordova, 25, said that given the hype and advertisements surrounding the launch, “they should make sure to stock enough.” It seems even Apple was surprised by the number of people who wanted to snap up the fourth version of the iPhone. More than 600,000 had rushed to pre-order iPhones on the first day they were available, prompting Apple and its exclusive wireless partner in the U.S., AT&T Inc., to stop taking orders for pickup or shipment by Thursday’s launch. On Apple’s website, new orders weren’t promised for delivery until July 14. Those who didn’t order in advance lined up outside Apple stores in the hopes of snagging one on a first-come, first-served basis. Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said demand was “off the charts,” and that the company was working hard to get phones into customers’ hands as quickly as possible.

SEATTLE (AP) — The iPhone 4 has arrived, but for some people the wait continues as Apple sprints to keep up with fierce demand for its latest gadget. From Tokyo to San Francisco, some stores started selling out of Apple Inc.’s newest iPhone just hours after it went on sale Thursday. Some would-be buyers walked away disappointed; tensions grew at Apple stores that hadn’t run out. In Aventura, Fla., Loren and Veronica McHenry held out hope, even after miscommunications landed them at the back of the line. They were told Wednesday that no one was allowed on mall property overnight, but returned the next day to learn 120 people had camped out at a nearby parking lot. As the crowd pushed closer to the store, Apple employees started yelling that the fire marshal was going to shut the store down unless people moved back. The McHenrys were shoved out of place and behind a large group of people who refused to budge from their spots. Loren McHenry, 42, said two men in front of them threatened to fight each other rather than move, and guards sent a handful of people home for cutting in line. After 11 hours, the couple

Bathroom cleaning tips from pros Home and Garden Television

How do hotels keep those bathrooms so clean? One quick answer is that hotels clean bathrooms every day. While you may not want to clean your entire bathroom that often, doing small things — such as wiping down the counters, faucet and sink, and spot-cleaning the mirror — can give your bathroom a daily perk-up. The rest is in the weekly routine. • Step 1: Vacuum and dust Work from top to bottom, dusting light fixtures and shelves with micro-fiber cloths before vacuuming floors and crevices. • Step 2: Heat up surfaces Heating tile and the tub just 10 degrees above the nor-

mal air temperature doubles the effectiveness of alkaline cleansers. Let the tub soak in hot water for a few minutes. • Step 3: Spray Drain the tub, then spray an antibacterial cleaner on tile walls, tub, counters, sink, toilet and floor. Work from top to bottom, starting at the top of shower walls, and spraying down to the tub and inside the toilet bowl. • Step 4: Spread Use a sponge or cloth to spread the cleanser around evenly on tile surfaces. • Step 5: Sit Disinfectants need contact time in order to work — five to seven minutes inside the toilet bowl and on surfaces. • Step 6: Scrub Use a scrub brush or non-

scratch abrasive pad to scrub every square inch of the tub and tiles. • Step 7: Rinse If you don’t rinse after spraying your cleanser, dirt is going to stick to it and build up and be even more troublesome. • Step 8: Dry Use clean, dry cotton cloths or rags to thoroughly dry all surfaces. • Step 9: Glass and mirrors Spray the mirror and other glass with a glass cleanser and wipe dry. • Step 10: Floors Exit out of the bathroom by rinsing, wiping and drying the floor.

Constipation treatment may be unnecessary Dear Dr. Gott: Is there any health risk, other than the taste, in drinking five ounces of magnesium citrate a week to clean out my digestive system? Thanks for your opinion. Dear Reader: Magnesium citrate is an over-the-counter substance used to treat constipation. It is taken by mouth in liquid form that can be mixed with water or juice. The dose depends on the reason a person is taking it. Magnesium citrate works by pulling wa- DR. PETER ter from tis- GOTT sues into the small intestines, thereby stimulating a bowel movement within 30 minutes to three hours. When smaller doses are taken, especially when taken with food, the process slows. Following each use, a person should drink two additional glasses of water to replace the fluids that will be lost during evacuation. Side effects can include nausea, bloating, abdominal pain and a loss of normal bowel response if the magnesium citrate is used on a long-term basis. Laxatives can result in diarrhea. This, in turn, can cause a loss of electrolytes, essential nutrients such as potassium and other fluids in the body. If diarrhea occurs, a person should replace those lost fluids with two to three quarts of sports drinks or other fluids daily until the diar-

rhea stops. Some brands of magnesium citrate contain sugar and should be avoided if a person has a history of diabetes. I am unsure why you are taking the product. If you have regular bowel movements and don’t suffer from constipation, perhaps you don’t need the weekly cleansing. Instead, you might consider a trial of eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, including cereals with bran for breakfast and drinking up to three quarts of fluids each day. If you do suffer from constipation on a regular basis, I recommend you make an appointment with a your physician or a gastroenterologist to review your medical history and medications to determine the cause. Certain medications can contribute to constipation, so that would be an easy place to begin. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Constipation and Diarrhea.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O. Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092-0167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 60year-old female in good health. For the past four years, I have developed tonsil stones that are frustrating. I don’t have them all the time, but when I do, they remain for days to weeks. The only way I can dislodge them is if I hap-

pen to sneeze really hard. When they do come out, they are shaped like tiny cauliflowers and have a really bad odor to them. What causes them? What can I do to avoid getting them? How can I get rid of them for good? Dear Reader: The tonsils, while appearing smooth, are filled with crevices where bacteria and other debris can become trapped. This matter can concentrate, harden and calcify, causing stones. The process tends to occur in people with chronic bouts of tonsillitis or who have chronic inflammation of the tonsils. The only surefire permanent treatment is tonsillectomy. However, there are interim steps that can be considered. Nothing need be done if a person is without symptoms. With symptoms, routine saltwater gargles might work, or the stones might be dislodged successfully with a cotton swab or pick. Antibiotics might be prescribed in some cases, but drugs in this category can cause additional problems. When conservative measures fail, surgical removal of the tonsils may be appropriate.

Dear Amy: I have been married for 19 years. I have three awesome kids (teens/young adults) and a husband who loves me. Our marriage has been very rocky, though, and there were many periods without intimacy and when things seemed to fall apart all around us. A year and a half ago, after 17 years of never even looking at another man, I cracked. I went looking for excitement, affirmation and fun, with no strings attached. What I found, however, was a man who grabbed me by the heartstrings so quickly and so deeply that I became someone I never thought I could be. I ended up lying to him about my marital status. Then, my husband found out about the relationship and called him to tell him I was married and had been

MAKING KIDS ‘STUPIDER’

Good, bad of computers recent article in the online edition of the Register, published in Britain, carried this intriguing headline: “Giving poor kids computers, Internet makes them stupider.” The article summarized a recently published study by Duke University researchers that offers evidence technology doesn’t necessarily equate to higher test scores. Researchers Jacob L. Vigdor and Helen Ladd examined the effects of home computer access on students’ test scores, looking at data for more than 150,000 North Carolina youngsters over a five-year period between 2000 and 2005. They compared math and reading scores before and after acquisition of a home computer, and also compared those results to students who didn’t have access to a home computer. Their conclusion: “The introduction of home computer technology is associated with modest but statistically significant and persistent negative impacts on student math and reading test scores.” Translation: For a lot of these students, test scores took a dip when they crossed the digital divide. In reality, that shouldn’t come as a great surprise, and the researchers don’t suggest that parents ban children from household computers or that schools de-emphasize technology as a tool for teaching and communication. What the research shows is what cultural observation should already tell us: Although computer literacy and Internet access are becoming as much a 21st necessity as the quill pen and paper of an earlier era, technology has two sides. It can connect students to digital storehouses of knowledge and instruction, yet it also offers the seduction of video gaming and social media sites. What the study should underscore for parents, as well as educators, is that children — whether middle schoolers or older — view the computer primarily as an entertainment device, not a teaching tool. Absent adult supervision, cyberspace is more digital playground than extension of the classroom or study hall. “The evidence is consistent with the view that Internet service, and technology more broadly, is put to more productive use in households with more effective parental monitoring of child behavior,” the researchers say. It’s noteworthy that the study concluded in 2005, before the more recent explosion of interest in Facebook, YouTube and the evolution of new forms of Internet connection. The more time kids spend clicking on a mouse, the less time they’re spending reading — or exercising. We can’t put that genie back into the bottle, even if we wanted to. But the study is another reminder that bridging the digital divide through expanded access to computers and high-speed Internet connections brings pitfalls as well as progress. The Internet won’t make kids stupider if smart parents screen what’s on the screen during study time.

Moderately confused

ALEIGH — From their own accounts, kids drop out of school for many different reasons. Besides the obvious — poverty and lack of educational attainment by parents — surveys show that most dropouts cite a lack of motivation and a lack of expectations. Roughly 30 percent of North Carolina teens leave school without ever graduating. In 2009, North Carolina reported a graduation rate of 71.7 percent. That SCOTT number was better than in MOONEYHAM previous years, but the graduation rate really hasn’t changed a whole lot during the last couple of decades. The needle hasn’t moved despite hundreds of millions of dollars poured into early childhood education and efforts to hold schools more accountable for academic achievement. Short of mandating that 17- and 18-year olds attend school — which really wouldn’t accomplish much except putting uninterested kids in classroom seats — no one solution will ever solve the dropout problem. Still, poring over those student surveys or talking to kids and teachers, it becomes obvious that many atrisk students simply fail to see the relevance of classroom instruction to their economic futures. They fail to connect the dots between education and job. Earlier this decade, though, North Carolina began an effort that’s providing some needed relevance. Legislation passed in 2003, along with a boost from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, helped local school systems establish what are called early college high schools. The schools, most of them operated on community college campuses, allow students to earn a four-year high school degree and a two-year associates or technical degree in five years, all of them tuition free. The schools focus on career-related areas of specialty and are aimed at firstgeneration college hopefuls. Besides earning associate degrees at community colleges, some students take those college credits and head to four-year colleges. Today, 70 of the schools operate in the state. The 15 schools that have existed long enough to have a fouryear cohort of graduates report a graduation rate of 91.7 percent. “Early college prepares you for the real world,” Drew Benbow, a Buncombe County student enrolled in one of the schools, recently told a legislative committee. Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton, who while in the state Senate sponsored the 2003 bill that began the schools, said the students who enroll are looking for the motivation that a real-world, job-focused education provides. “They eat it up,” he said. “They see a relevance to an early college.” The relevance comes, in part, by partnering with industry. An early college in Wake County partners with Wake Medical Center, with students gaining exposure to health care-related jobs. Dalton also heads something called the Joining Our Businesses and Schools, or JOBS, Commission, which is promoting more of the partnerships with business. State Sen. A.B. Swindell, a Nash County Democrat, is pushing legislation to encourage the development of more of the schools. The 70 schools may just be a start, but they’re accomplishing something that traditional middle and high schools have struggled with. They’re connecting the dots.

Loose lips sink generals Trash talk not good for winning wars either he World War II slogan “Loose Lips Sink Ships,” which was intended to encourage Americans to keep quiet about any information pertaining to that war, could also apply to modern generals and their staffs. Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s mistake was not indulging in — and allowing his aides to indulge in — locker CAL room guy talk; THOMAS his “mistake in judgment” was allowing a writer for the farleft, anti-war magazine, “Rolling Stone” apparently unrestricted and prolonged access to him and his aides. A liberal White House won’t allow access by conservative writers to its deliberations and application of its Saul Alinskylike redistribution of wealth philosophy. Rich Galen was a press secretary to former vice president Dan Quayle when he was a congressman and senator and to Newt Gingrich when he was House Republican Whip. In 1996, Galen then became the communications director of the political office of Speaker Gingrich. On his “Mullings” blog, he writes of his “excellent association with reporters” because he says he adhered to three rules: “1) I have never sold out my boss to curry favor with the press; 2) I have never lied to the press to protect my boss; 3) If I don’t know an answer, I say so. I don’t pretend to be on the ‘inside’ of every discussion ever held in Washington.” Gen. McChrystal obviously disregarded rule one. Galen thinks McChrystal deserved to be fired, even though only one rather innocuous quote was attributed to

him in the Rolling Stone article. The rest are more serious comments by unnamed aides. The bigger question is: who set up this interview and what was that person’s motive? When will that person be fired? McChrystal’s predicament is partially about the chain of command and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which spells out insubordination as a firing offense. Mostly, though,

Losing in Afghanistan would have severe costs for America. ... The radical Muslim world would be convinced that “Allah” truly is on their side. it is about whether this war is winnable and the consequences for the United States and Afghanistan if it is not. America’s failure to win the Vietnam War did not bring the consequences many had predicted, except to the Vietnamese. Today, capitalism seems to be growing in Vietnam, though other freedoms remain restricted. Losing in Afghanistan, however, would have severe costs for America. The planning center for September 11, 2001 would be reinvigorated. Recruiting for more homicide bombers would be easier. The radical Muslim world would be convinced that “Allah” truly is on their side against “The Great Satan.” Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would see defeat as proof that his god wants him to proceed with his announced

plans to usher in “Armageddon” by possibly launching a nuclear attack against Israel. Are any of those plausible actions worth the risk of losing the war in Afghanistan? It isn’t that McChrystal was the indispensible man. Replacing him with U.S. Central Command leader Gen. David Petraeus was the president’s best option after deciding to relieve McChrystal. But President Obama did select McChrystal to lead the effort to defeat the Taliban and so any “errors in judgment” should not be limited to Gen. McChrystal. If the president picked the “wrong man,” what does that say about his judgment? All of these — and other — questions will be forgotten if the U.S. prevails in Afghanistan by establishing a sustainable democratic government that is relatively free of corruption (a herculean task) and can be converted from an opium-based economy to one that can take advantage of its enormous mineral resources. To win in Afghanistan, and make such things possible, our “rules of engagement” must change. American casualties have increased because of self-imposed restraints when encountering Taliban who hide behind civilians. You can’t win a war by hesitating when the enemy is at a disadvantage. To paraphrase a familiar admonition: grab them by their throats and their hearts and minds will follow. McChrystal seemed to be making progress in the shooting war. He failed by shooting off his mouth. But if everyone who has ever said a disparaging word about his or her boss were fired, no one would have a job. • • • Cal Thomas writes for Tribune Media Services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gift will help teach readers at all levels The students of Elizabeth Duncan Koontz Elementary have been given a true gift this school year, the gift of reading. As schools work to help students improve their reading skills, it is always important to work at their reading level to help them grow. In order to do so, schools must have the means to provide a variety of books at a variety of reading levels for all students. This school year, Koontz Elementary was given such a resources. In January, staff members at Koontz completed the organizing of a Leveled Library. Upon its completion, teachers in all grades have access to a vast library of over 1,400 titles (six copies of each title) that span across many reading levels. This resource has allowed teachers to work with small groups of students using texts that are on their reading level to increase their fluency and comprehension. The Blanche and Hubert Ritchie Foundation provided

this gift. Members from the Ritchie Foundation board met with teachers and myself to discuss how they could help our students. A Leveled Library was a need for our school. The Ritchie Foundation, in the form of a grant, provided Koontz with the $47,500 needed to fund the library and for staff development. It is with a thankful heart that I extend the appreciation of the staff, students, and parents of Koontz Elementary to the Ritchie Foundation for this wonderful gift. — Rick Dunlap Salisbury

Dunlap is the principal of Elizabeth Duncan Koontz Elementary School.

Tree looked strong I’m no expert on trees, but I did inspect the 250-year-old tree that stood next to the library in Spencer. Standing next to the massive trunk, lying on its side, I felt sad. I could see very little signs of rot, which was the reason for cutting it down. It looked solid as a rock to me, good for another 100 years. As I stood there, another neighbor walked up and remarked that she was angry because the tree appeared to her to be in very good condition. Nothing can replace the beauty of that old tree and the shade it provided. We will miss it greatly. — Reggie Moysan Spencer

Containment-cap blunder feeds frustration on Gulf as oil forces closing of first Fla. beach

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A suspected tornado tore through Connecticut’s largest city Thursday, toppling trees and power lines, shattering windows, and collapsing a building as a powerful line of storms swept across parts of the Northeast. The office of Bridgeport Mayor Bill Finch reported multiple injuries in the city, and rescuers were searching the collapsed building for anyone trapped inside. Finch declared a state of emergency after the fast-moving system of wind and rain. Hundreds of bricks shook loose from buildings, trees split in half and crushed cars, and a billboard hung precariously several stories up over Main Street. Jacqueline Arroyo, 44, said she saw a black cloud and ran inside to her thirdfloor apartment, where the window exploded. Trees were blown so ferociously they appeared to be coming out of the ground, and people were screaming, she said. “All the wind started coming inside the house. I heard ’boom, boom!”’ she said. “It was so fast but terrifying.”

Obama, Medvedev address differences, ‘reset’ relationship

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — The scion of a Jamaican

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama declared Thursday that he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have “succeeded in resetting” the relationship between the former Cold War adversaries that had dipped to a dangerous low in recent years. Obama directly acknowledged differences in some areas, such as Moscow’s tensions with neighboring Georgia, but said “we addressed those differences candidly.” And he announced that the U.S. and Russia had agreed to expand cooperation on intelligence and the counterterror fight and worked on strengthening economic ties between the nations. Obama gave Russia perhaps the biggest gift it could have wanted from the meetings: an unqualified, hearty plug for Moscow’s ascension to the World Trade Organization. Russia has long wanted membership but U.S. support in the past has come with conditions. “Russia belongs in the

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans in the Senate have defeated an electionyear bill to continue weekly jobless benefits for millions of long-term unemployed workers. The 57-41 loss was a major blow for President Barack Obama and Democrats. They needed three more votes — for a total of 60 — to stop a GOP filibuster. The rejected bill would also have provided billions of dollars in new aid, protecting the jobs of tens of thousands of state and local government workers as the country begins to emerge from the worst recession in seven decades. Democrats have been trying to advance the measure for months as an insurance policy against a double-dip recession. Despite another round of cuts to the measure aimed at pacifying GOP deficit concerns, not a single Republican broke with party leaders determined to kill the measure for adding more than $30 billion to the deficit.

Calif couple tried to sell baby at Walmart SALINAS, Calif. (AP) — A California couple faces child endangerment charges after police say they tried to sell their 6-month-old baby for $25 outside a Walmart store. Salinas police spokesman Officer Lalo Villegas said Thursday that 38-year-old Patrick Fousek and 20-yearold Samantha Tomasini were arrested early Wednesday, hours after Fousek approached two women outside Walmart and asked if they’d like to purchase his child.Villegas says the women thought Fousek was joking, but when he became persistent, they became suspicious. The women reported it to police.The couple also face a charge of being under the influence. Fousek also was on probation.Villegas says he believes the couple do not have attorneys yet, but will likely get assigned ones at an expected arraignment Friday.

Suspected tornado tears through Bridgeport, Conn.

WASHINGTON (AP) — No more discord in the Afghanistan war command, President Barack Obama vows. With Gen. David Petraeus in charge, the president said Thursday he’s assembled the team that will take the U.S. through the months ahead — by all expectations the make-or-break stage of the conflict. “I am going to be insisting on a unity of purpose on the part of all branches of the U.S. government,” the president said. “Our team is going to be moving forward in synch.” Obama said he does not anticipate further firings beyond Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top war commander hired a year ago to turn around a war then sliding into quagmire. He was fired Wednesday for sniping at civilian war bosses in a magazine article. “I’m paying very close attention,” Obama said of his war council. “And I will be insisting on extraordinary performance moving forward.” The Taliban-led insurgency has dug in for a long fight in crucial southern Afghan provinces where McChrystal focused the conflict. Petraeus is expected to continue that campaign, but he will have flexibility to make changes as he sees fit, his civilian and military bosses said Thursday.

wooden ship that remained unaccounted for, said Brendon Baillod, the president of the Wisconsin Underwater Archaeology Association. “It’s the biggest one I’ve been involved with,” said Baillod, who has taken part in about a dozen such finds. “It was really exhilarating.” The Doty was carrying a cargo of corn from South Chicago to Ontario, Canada in October 1898 when it sailed into a terrible storm, Baillod said. Along with snow and sleet, there were heavy winds that whipped up waves of up to 30 feet. The Doty should have been able to handle the weather. The ship was only five years old, and the 300foot wooden behemoth’s hull was reinforced with steel arches.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A key Senate negotiator on sweeping new Wall Street regulations has proposed limits on the ability of banks to carry out high-risk trades or invest in hedge funds and private equity funds. The offer by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd aims to break a deadlock in HouseSenate talks to assemble the broader regulatory bill. It would permit banks to carry out trades designed to hedge against market fluctuations. They also could invest in hedge funds and private equity funds but would be limited to investing no more than 3 percent of the capital in the hedge fund or private equity fund. There are no such conditions on banks now. The proposal also would bar banks from betting against their clients on certain investments deals.

gang family was flown to New York on Thursday after agreeing to his extradition, saying it was in his nation’s best interests after clashes that killed 76 people. Christopher “Dudus” Coke, whose supporters waged street battles with security forces last month in an attempt to prevent him from facing drug and weapons charges in the United States, waived his right to an extradition trial at his first appearance before a Jamaican judge. Coke said he was deeply saddened by the lives lost in the fighting, which centered around his power base in the Tivoli Gardens slum. He said he hopes his decision will help Jamaica heal. “I take this decision for I now believe it to be in the best interest of my family, the community of western Kingston and in particular the people of Tivoli Gardens and above all Jamaica,” Coke said in a statement released to the news media, his first public comments since the U.S. requested his extradition in August. Defense attorney Tom Taveres-Finson said Coke was taken to Kingston’s airport by a military helicopter and being flown to New York aboard a U.S. plane. The Jamaican and U.S. governments confirmed his departure.

Obama expects results and unity from new military team

WTO,” Obama said as the two leaders stood side-by-side in the East Room after several hours of meetings — including an impromptu trip to a nearby burger joint for lunch. The leaders faced questions about the U.S.-led Afghanistan war, and Obama promised that the U.S. will “not miss a beat” because of the change in military command that he ordered on Wednesday. Obama accepted Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s resignation and replaced him with his direct boss, Gen. David Petraeus.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Earlier this month, BP boldly predicted the oil gushing from the bottom of the sea would be reduced to a “relative trickle” within days, and President Barack Obama told the nation last week that as much as 90 percent would soon be captured. But those goals seemed wildly optimistic Thursday after yet another setback a mile underwater. A deep-sea robot bumped into the cap collecting oil from the well, forcing a temporary halt Wednesday to the company’s best effort yet to contain the leak. The cap was back in place Thursday, but frustration and skepticism were running high along the Gulf Coast. BP’s pronouncements have “absolutely no credibility,” Jefferson Parish Councilman John Young said. The latest problem shows “they really are not up to the task and we have more bad news than we have good news.” Even before the latest setback, the government’s worst-case estimates suggested the cap and other equipment were capturing less than half of the oil leaking from the sea floor. And in recent days, the “spillcam” video continued to show gas and oil billowing from the blown-out well. BP spokesman John Curry laid out in new detail the company’s plans to have additional ships in place that can capture even more oil, and said he understands the frustration.

NH race fans get $1 million bathrooms LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Motor Speedway officials are flush with excitement. In addition to a big NASCAR race this weekend, crowds of campers will have access to a new $1 million bathroom. The Frank Webb Bath Center is being dubbed “the most expensive bathroom in New Hampshire.” The toilets and showers were unveiled Thursday. The center has a total of 30 bathrooms and 28 showers — half for men, half for women. There’s also a family bathroom as part of the women’s section. Track officials say the facility is one of key three components of a NASCAR race: tickets, toilets and traffic.

School officials placed Puesta del Sol Elementary in the desert town of Victorville on lockdown Wednesday morning after a fight broke out among a group of parents. San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Karen Hunt says witnesses told deputies several mothers were involved in an argument and it got physical in a field near the ceremony. Several men then jumped into the fray, and the incident turned into a brawl. A deputy following up on leads later arrested two people — Marina Vargas and Queiona Burt — on suspicion of being a disruptive presence at a school. Witnesses said they were the main instigators. There were no reported injuries, and no children were hurt. Police didn’t say whether more arrests are planned.

Wizards pick Wall BY BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

NEW YORK — John Wall is heading to Washington, and a record number of Kentucky teammates are following him to the NBA. Wall went to the Wizards with the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft Thursday and four more Wildcats were among the top 30 selections, making them the first school ever to put five players in the first round. After falling short of the Final Four even with all that talent around him, Wall is ready to help Washington bounce back from a season that was embarrassing on the court and in the locker room. “I feel like I had pressure since I became No. 1 in high school and was one of the top players,” Wall said. “I always got there hungry wanting to

fight hard and compete in every game, so when I step on the court I’m going to take on any challenge there.” The SEC player of the year is the first Kentucky player chosen first overall. He goes to a team still reeling from Gilbert Arenas’ season-ending suspension for bringing guns into the team locker room. Wall could replace Arenas as the Wizards’ point guard, or perhaps play alongside him in a potential high-scoring backcourt. He’ll try to become the third straight freshman point guard to win Rookie of the Year honors after Chicago’s Derrick Rose and Sacramento’s Tyreke Evans — who like Wall also played for John Calipari. The pick came shortly after a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press that the Chicago Bulls had

LOS ANGELES — Eager to fill a hole at small forward, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Al-Farouq Aminu of Wake Forest with the eighth pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night. “You see 100 times people walk across the stage and shake hands, but when it happens to you, it’s like unreal,” he said in a conference call from New York. “I can’t really explain in words how I feel. I just can’t wait to get there.” The 6-foot-9 forward from Norcross, Ga., left school after his sophomore season. Aminu led the Demon Deacons in scoring (15.8 points), rebounding (10.7) and blocks (44) last season. He was the first Wake Forest player to lead the ACC in rebounding since Tim Duncan in 1997. “We wouldn’t have taken him if at some point we didn’t think he was going to become the starting small forward,” general manager Neil Olshey said. “There are ways he can contribute to this roster from day one.”

ROWAN MASTERS

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

ronnie gallagher/SALISBURY POST

Keith Dorsett has won the Rowan Masters four times in eight years. He tees off today at 3:30 against Steve Gegorek.

Rowan Masters ‘Strongest field ever’ starts today at The Warrior HINA GROVE — The temperature was pushing 97 degrees on Thursday out the Warrior Golf Club and it’s not supposed to let up when local golfers tee off in the eighth-annual Rowan Masters today. “Unbearable,” was Keith Dorsett’s answer when asked what it will be like when he tees off this afternoon at 3:30. Somehow, you figure Dorsett and his foes will put it in the back of their minds. This is one of Rowan County’s three majors, RONNIE with the Rowan GALLAGHER along Amateur next month at Corbin Hills and the Labor Day tournament at the Country

Club. On Thursday, Dorsett, who has won this event four times in its eight-year history, was taking one last practice round at the 6,609-yard, par 71 course. His playing partner was Steve Gegorek, who, by the way, will be his first-round opponent today. Ronnie Eidson is the two-time defending champ. He tees off at 2:30 p.m. against Kendall Carter. “He’s got a two-year win streak,” Dorsett said with a smile. “I’ve got to get rid of that.” • While the usual big names are playing, there is a newcomer among the contenders. Kevin Lentz, an East Rowan graduate, won medalist honors after shooting 66 in qualifying. Lentz won in a

sudden death playoff with a birdie on the extra hole to secure the medalist spot. “He has never played in this event,” said club pro Brian Lee. “He played real well (in qualifying). He had six birdies and no bogeys.” Lentz tees off at 3:10 against Thomas Thompson. No. 4 seed Ken Clarke will use his power game against Justin Lefler when they tee off at 2:50. And fifth seed Alex Nianouris, a high school junior who shot 70 in qualifying, begins at 3 against Robert Jordan. “I’d say it’s one of the strongest fields they’ve had in the last couple years,” Dorsett said. Lee agreed.

70-68! Isner wins BY HOWARD FENDRICH Associated Press

ASSOcIATeD PReSS

Kohn Isner, right, embraces opponent Nicolas Mahut of the court following their epic men's singles match.

WIMBLEDON, England — When The Match That Would Not End finally did, at 70-68 in the fifth set, after a record 11 hours, 5 minutes spread over three days, the customary handshake between opponents simply would not suffice. So when John Isner of the United States won the longest match in tennis history and went to the net to greet Nicolas Mahut of France, who — for lack of a better word — lost Thursday at Wimbledon, Isner pulled Mahut in

for a hug. “You know,” Isner told the crowd moments later, “it stinks someone had to lose.” Quite true. There were 980 points overall, and Mahut won more, 502-478. There were 711 points in the fifth set, and Mahut won more, 365-346. But Isner (IHZ-ner) won the most important point of all: the last one, which happened to be a rather nondescript backhand winner down the line. It allowed Isner to break Mahut’s serve

LANDIS — South Rowan’s R a n d y S. Rowan 15 S h e p h e r d Mocksville 4 drilled a low-flying laser over the wall in left field and was surprised to see dejected Mocksville players leaving the field. “It was the first walkoff homer I’ve ever hit,” Shepherd said with a grin. “I had no idea. I was wondering where everyone was going, and then it hit me that the game SHEPHERD was over.” Shepherd’s game-ending belt in the bottom of the eighth was his second homer on Thursday night and South’s fifth in a 15-4 rout of Mocksville. The same teams, believe it or not, had played a 1-0 game back in May, but South has put on its hitting shoes since then. The homers raised South’s season total to 29. Twentyeight have come from the team’s army of right-handed mashers, who are taking aim at a 330-foot power alley in left-center. “We’re a team with a lot of right-hander power and we’re playing in a friendly park for us,” South coach Michael Lowman said. “But you’ve still got to hit it, and we’re hitting it.” Joseph Basinger, Maver-

South plays at Rowan tonight Staff report

South Rowan will be aiming at history tonight when it travels to Catawba College to face county rival Rowan. Not only is South trailing the series 26-7, it has never swept Rowan in a season. After a 13-10 win earlier this summer, this could be a milestone. South split with Rowan in 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008 and won a 1997 playoff game. South has won only twice at Newman Park. South is expected to Weston Smith (2-0) to the mound against Thomas Allen. It is Patrick Snider Night. The North Rowan baseball player is suffering from testicular cancer and donations will be taken. Rowan will match the donations to the help the Snider family with expenses. And expect a large sum. An estimated crowd of 2,000 is expected. ick Miles and Julio Zubillaga also homered for South (15-3, 10-2) to back strong pitching by slick lefty Jesse Park (3-0). Park’s older brother, Cameron, a former South Le-

Streak over Kernersville ends Rowan’s win streak at 11 BY JORDAN HONEYCUTT sports@salisburypost.com

If baseball is played in the twilight K’ville 15 zone, then is Rowan 7 that where we all were last night at Newman Park in a 15-7 Rowan loss to Kernersville. In what was absolutely the strangest game of the year for Rowan, a little bit of anything and everything occured. Coach Gantt held open tryouts for the closer role late in the game as three non-pitchers took the mound. “Man, I havent been on the rubber since I was in Little League,” laughed Hayden Untz. “Cody Laws gave me some pointers and was an extra pitching coach.” Second Baseman Justin Morris relieved Avery Rogers

in the seventh and pitched two good innings only allowing a three run homer to Kernersville catcher Alex Swaim, an Elon product. As the top of the ninth rolled around, out struts right fielder Zach Smith to take the bump. This move by Gantt befuddled everybody, but the Rowan arms are so overworked that he seemed to have no choice. Smith recorded zero outs and walked three consecutive

SOUTH FROM 1B

Associated Press

IRENE, South Africa — The clock ticked into the 70th minute, and Tim Howard started to get anxious. “I thought, damn, at this point we’re going home and I didn’t want to get on that long flight,” the American goalkeeper said. Not to worry. The United States saves its best for the last 20 minutes. Landon Donovan’s injurytime goal with the U.S. on the brink of elimination gave the Americans a 1-0 victory over Algeria, and now they’ll will meet Ghana on Saturday for a berth in the World Cup quarterfinals. It’s just the latest instance of the United States striking late. Among the others: • Against Slovenia in the second group-stage game, Michael Bradley scored in the 82nd minute to tie the game at 2-2. • In World Cup qualifying, Bradley’s 90th-minute goal finished a 2-0 win over Mexico; Jozy Altidore and Frankie Hejduk each scored in the last 15 minutes to gain a 2-2 tie at El Salvador; and, Jonathan Bornstein’s injurytime goal tied Costa Rica 2-2, knocking Los Ticos out of the World Cup and putting Honduras in. • At the Confederations Cup last year in South Africa, Clint Dempsey’s 74th-minute goal capped the 2-0 upset of European champion Spain. Donovan’s goal against Algeria was more dramatic than the others and seen by more people. But it’s part of this team’s DNA. “I think that’s been the trait for the U.S. team for the last 10, 12 years,” captain Carlos Bocanegra said Thursday. “Guys get together and they work hard for each other and they fight for each other. The egos don’t get involved. Everybody wants to play their heart out for the next guy.” So if the Americans are so effective at the end of games, why can’t they start off the same way? It puzzles the players as much as anyone. “For whatever reason we seem to grow in strength and confidence as the game goes on,” Howard said. “The danger in that is the vulnerability at the beginning. But at the same time the longer we can go and keep at a zero — 20 minutes, 30 minutes, get to halftime — our chests start to come out, and so that’s a good thing. Now I’ve just got to figure out and make sure we don’t concede early.” The U.S. has never won a World Cup match in which it trailed, and there are no more draws now that the Americans are heading to the knockout stage. That, plus the Americans’ style makes some of its strongest supporters nervous. “I can’t deal with this anymore,” said former national team defender Alexi Lalas, now an ESPN analyst. “They’re killing me here.” Slovakia 3, Italy 2 JOHANNESBURG — Defending champion Italy was eliminated Thursday from the World Cup with a humbling 32 loss to Slovakia. The Italians were last, the first time they’ve ever finished at the bottom of an opening-round group. Paraguay 0, New Zealand 0 POLOKWANE, South Africa — Paraguay was held to an uneventful 0-0 draw by New Zealand, but still won its World Cup group and moved into the round of 16. Netherlands 2, Cameroon 1 CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Robin Van Persie finished off an end-to-end move in the 36th minute, and substitute Arjen Robben sent a shot against the post in the 83rd that Klaas Jan Huntelaar only had to slide in for the winner. Japan 3, Denmark 1 RUSTENBERG, South Africa — Spectacular firsthalf goals by Keisuke Honda and Yusuhito Endo helped lift Japan, sending the Japanese into the round of 16 at the World Cup.

Ronnie Eidson will be going for another Rowan Masters title.

GALLAGHER FROM 1B “It took 81 to qualify this year and that’s the lowest score we’ve ever had, he noted. “There are 10-12 guys who could potentially win this thing.” • But back to the current heat wave. “I think it’s going to make the course play a little bit different,” Dorsett said. The Warrior got a break on Wednesday when a strong rainstorm came through the area. Lee said it softened the fairways. “The rough’s up so it’s going to play pretty tough,” he said. “It’s going to play a little longer than normal. It’s in fantastic shape.” But what shape will the golfers be in by Sunday night? They play first-round matches today and two rounds on Saturday and Sunday. “When you get this temperature and 36 holes a day, that’s tough,” Lee whewed. Dorsett’s ready. “Actually, I’ve been playing pretty

good the last couple of weeks,” he said. “I’ve been shooting in the 60s about every day.” The match-play format is what Dorsett likes best. “I love match play,” he said. “It’s one of my DORSETT favorite tournaments of the year.” Dorsett would like to reclaim the status he owned three years ago. He won the Masters and the Amateur in 2007 but that was the last “major” he has won. “I’d like to get back on top,” he said. He knows Eidson stands in the way. “He’s strong and he’s steady,” Dorsett said. “You can’t beat steady, that’s for sure.” That’s why no one would be all that surprised if Eidson won his third straight Rowan Masters. “You know how it is with the old veteran,” Lee said. “Ronnie Eidson will be a tough one to beat out there.” • Contact Ronnie Gallagher at 704-7974287 or rgallagher@salisburypost.com.

gion hurler, had given him two goals — go the distance and no walks. He went 2-for-2. “I was happy with how I pitched, but who knows what happens if I don’t have Gunnar (Hogan) playing shortstop and Zubie (Zubillaga) at second behind me,” Park said. “They turned a whole lot of hits into outs.” That they did. Zubillaga made two MLB plays, chasing down a pair of bloopers in the outfield and snagging balls with his back to the infield. Hogan made a diving stop and roamed deep in the hole several times. He started double plays that killed potential rallies by Mocksville (8-12, 5-9) in the second and fourth. Park made just one obvious mistake, a belt-high pitch that Tyler Jordan creamed for a three-run homer in the fifth. Jordan had three of Mocksville’s 10 hits, but Park was never in real trouble and South was never in any serious danger after it put up four runs in the first. “That’s the best I’ve ever seen Jesse pitch,” Lowman said. “The team needed it and Jesse needed it.” While South launched five homers, the biggest hit it got was probably the two-out, tworun single Patrick Bearden (three hits, four runs) delivered in the bottom of the first. Basinger followed that single with a rocket to left for a tworun homer. Those quick runs allowed Park to pitch with some breathing room and put Mocksville starter D.J. Webb, who can be really tough, in a hole right from the outset. “If Bearden doesn’t come through, maybe Webb settles in, and it’s a completely different game,” Lowman said.

BEARDEN

South had 17 hits against three Mocksville hurlers. Miles led off the fifth with a solo shot against Webb, his seventh of the summer. Zubillaga hit a two-run homer that got a bit of a helping hand from a lively breeze in the seventh. Hogan, Tyler Freeze and Blake Houston chipped in with two hits each. Weston Smith had an RBI single. Shepherd’s game-ending blast came with skies darkening and rain about to fall. “Just in time,” he said. “It was a good game, and it should get us prepared for Rowan.” Second-place South will send Smith (2-0, 1.13 ERA) to the mound tonight against thirdplace Rowan at Newman Park.

Roy promises some tweaks Associated Press

CHAPEL HILL — Roy Williams went from the savoring his second national championship at North Carolina to suffering through the worst season in his Hall of Fame career. He’s hoping a few changes — from a roster restocked with perimeter talent to some technical tweaks — will provide a quick return to form for one of college basketball’s winningest programs. “What we’ve done for 21 years had worked pretty well, so I don’t think we just got dumb all of a sudden,” Williams said Thursday. “It just didn’t work last year. We’re not going to throw everything out the window and say, ’Well, we can’t play that way.’ “But we’re going to make a few little changes and see if things help us and we’ll be a little more determined this year, too, from a player standpoint.” Williams is understandably eager to distance himself and his returning players from a frustrating past 12 months. Fresh off a Tyler Hansbrough-led run to the NCAA title in 2009, the Tar Heels (20-17) entered last year with a top-10 national ranking only to finish with a trip to the finals of the NIT — and many felt the Tar Heels didn’t even deserve to be in that tournament in the first place. Then, as the program settled into an offseason that would provide a fresh start, twins David and Travis Wear surprised Williams by announcing they would transfer instead of returning for their sophomore seasons. Their late departure forced the Tar Heels to scramble for last-minute help to an already thin front line — only 7-footer Tyler Zeller and John Henson (6-10) remained — before adding Justin Knox, a 6-9 forward who plans to transfer from Alabama as a graduate student with a year of eligibility. At his annual summer news confer-

ence, Williams said he still has yet to speak with either Wear about their decision. In a statement last month, Williams said the brothers’ father called him to say the Wears weren’t coming back after they had returned home to California following exams. They have since decided to transfer to UCLA. “I have not spoken to them and I haven’t dealt with it very well,” Williams said. “It was a hard thing. It was a surprise, but you have to move on. They have to move on and we do too.” The roster will at least give the Tar Heels that chance, particularly on the perimeter where last year’s group struggled mightily. The Tar Heels won an intense recruiting fight to land small forward Harrison Barnes to headline a class that includes touted prospects in shooting guard Reggie Bullock and point guard Kendall Marshall. While the focus will be on Barnes from the opening tip, Williams is hoping all three can provide outside shooting and help North Carolina cut down on turnovers that plagued it all year. “We’re going to need something from this freshman group — and I’m going to say not just Harrison, the freshman group,” Williams said. “Harrison’s got the biggest reputation by far, but I think Reggie and Kendall are going to be able to do some things, and we’re going to need them to do some things.” Williams wouldn’t elaborate on exactly what would change for next year, saying only the tweaks would be technical and likely wouldn’t be so pronounced as to be easily spotted. He did, however, offer up one specific detail: “I’m probably going to be a little meaner.” “Whatever buttons we were able to find in the past, we didn’t this time,” Williams said. “That’s one of the great things about college basketball and one of the difficult things: that you do have new teams all the time.”

Brownell hears about expectations Associated Press

CLEMSON, S.C. — Brad Brownell sits comfortably in khakis and a crisp orange golf shirt, looking more like an executive than the new basketball coach at Clemson. But the 41-year-old fidgets at times when he speaks, clearly ready for the day he’s dressed in coach’s shorts and he’s in charge of the Tigers on the court. “The most challenging part so far at this level, you’re just as much ambassador and CEO as a basketball coach,” Brownell said. Brownell has met countless fans since

he was hired April 13. He has toured the region with football coach Dabo Swinney, and has been the honored guest at more gatherings than he can name. But he was happy last week to hit the court and teach basketball, even if was only with youth players at his first Tiger summer camp. “It was good to get out there again,” Brownell said. The outside obligations are something new for Brownell. So are Clemson’s expectations of continued success. Brownell came to Clemson after seven seasons at mid-majors UNC Wilmington and Wright State.

It will be Patrick Snider Night when Rowan plays host to county rival South Rowan at Newman Park tonight.

ROWAN FROM 1B batters, after hitting one and then traded places with third baseman Untz. Untz, a typical second baseman, was playing third last night in place of the absent Noah Holmes. Untz relieved Smith in style getting three straight outs via flyout. “I think we have found a right-handed Will Johnson with Hayden Untz,” joked Gantt. Rowan came out like a lion last night, scoring three runs in the first inning and giving starter Bradley Robbins an early three run cushion. Robbins, however, relinquished it as soon as he got it as Kernersville tagged him for two in the first and another in the second to even the score. Kernersville dealt Rowan heavy punches that the local team just couldn’t withstand in the seventh and ninth, scoring four runs apiece in those two innings. “Our pitchers just were not available tonight, and not all will be available tomorrow against South. We just have to ready ourselves for the playoffs and can’t put all our eggs in one basket right now if we want to be healthy for the postseason,” said Gantt. Rowan’s overall record falls to 18-8, but its 11-4 Southern Division record remains intact. The team will have to prepare itself for the game of the year tonight at home against

WIMBLEDON, England — The King of Clay passed up a chance to meet the Queen of England. Rafael Nadal had another priority — winning at Wimbledon. Queen Elizabeth II visited the All England Club for the first time since 1977 and met a small group of current and former players, including Roger Federer and the Williams sisters. Nadal was invited, but his practice schedule conflicted, and he wanted to be in top form for his second-round match later Thursday. Hours after the queen departed, Nadal took Centre Court and beat Robin Haase 57, 6-2, 3-6, 6-0, 6-3. British tabloids may take the fivetime French Open champion to task, but he defended his decision to put practice ahead of royalty. “I am playing in Wimbledon. It’s not a joke. I love this tournament,” Nadal said. “I have a lot of respect for the queen. I have a lot of respect for this tournament. Today is a match day for me, no? So I have my things to do.” Nadal said he thought the queen might attend his match and he could meet her afterward, but he played late in the day, and she stayed only long enough to watch Briton Andy Murray win. Top-ranked Serena Williams drubbed Anna Chakvetadze 6-0, 6-1. Maria Sharapova, Caroline Wozniacki and Robin Soderling also won easily. Before her victory, Williams greeted the queen with a curtsy she practiced.

MARATHON FROM 1B for only the second time all match. That also was the only service break of the seemingly interminable fifth set, ending a run of 168 consecutive holds that began in the second set, all the way back on Tuesday. Essentially, the match lasted as long as it did for two reasons: Neither man could break the other’s serve, and Wimbledon does not employ a tiebreaker in the fifth set. “Especially once the match got past, you know, 25-all, I wasn’t really thinking,” said Isner, who led the University of Georgia to the 2007 NCAA team tennis championship. “Hitting a serve and trying to hit a forehand winner is the only thing I was doing.” When it did conclude, Isner dropped down to the court, rolled on his back, and kicked his legs in the air. After the players briefly spoke, Mahut sat in his changeover chair, stared blankly ahead, then draped a purple-and-yellow Wimbledon towel over his head. “It’s really painful,” Mahut said.

The 23rd seeded Isner’s 6-4, 3-6, 6-7 (7), 7-6 (3), 70-68 victory — yes, that’s 70-68, not 7-6; sure reads like a typo, huh? — was merely a first-round match between two relatively unheralded players. Yet it will be remembered far more distinctly, and discussed far more frequently, than many a Grand Slam final, not because of the stakes, certainly, or the quality of play, necessarily, but because of all the math involved. “The numbers,” Mahut said, “speak for themselves.” To wit: The 183 games and total time, both far beyond the existing records of 112 and 6:33. The 138 games and 8:11 in the fifth set alone, also records. Isner’s 112 aces in the match, and Mahut’s 103, both much higher than the old mark of 78. The combined 490 winners (Isner had more, 246244) and only 91 unforced errors (Isner had more, 52-39). “We played the greatest match ever, in the greatest place to play tennis,” said Mahut, who is ranked 148th and went through qualifying. “I thought he would make a mistake. I waited for that moment, and it never came.”

Thursday’s Major League roundup ... CHICAGO — Paul Konerko homered with two outs in the eighth inning, lifting the White Sox to their ninth straight victory. Gavin Floyd, J.J. Putz (32) and Bobby Jenks combined on a two-hitter for the White Sox, who have their longest winning streak since 2006 and have won 13 of their last 14 games. Takashi Saito (1-3) relieved Derek Lowe to begin the eighth and gave up a leadoff single to Juan Pierre. After a sacrifice and a flyout, Konerko lined the first pitch he saw into the leftfield bleachers. Brewers 5, Twins 0 MILWAUKEE — Yovani Gallardo did not allow a baserunner until Drew Butera singled with one out in the sixth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers went on to complete a sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 5-0 victory Thursday. Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks homered as the suddenly resurgent Brewers chased struggling Twins starter Nick Blackburn (6-5) from the game in the fourth inning. Gallardo (7-3) tied a career high with 12 strikeouts and gave up only five hits as he recorded his second career shutout. It was the Brewers’ fourth straight win, and only the second time this season the Twins have been swept. Rays 5, Padres 3 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Garza pitched eight effective innings and Kelly Shoppach came within a triple of hitting for the cycle for Tampa Bay. Garza (8-5) gave up three runs and six hits to rebound from a loss last Friday to Florida in which the righthander allowed seven runs in 1 1-3 innings. Tampa Bay also got home runs from B.J.

He allowed three runs and six hits, while walking none and striking out eight. His faltered in the fifth, when Jason Donald hit a two-run home run. Donald had three of Cleveland’s six hits.

OMAHA, Neb — Brady Thomas singled in the winning run in the 12th inning and South Carolina eliminated Oklahoma from the College World Series with a 3-2 victory Thursday night. The Gamecocks (50-16) were down to their last strike against closer Ryan Duke when Jackie Bradley’s full-count base hit past first baseman Cameron Seitzer brought in Robert Beary from second to tie it. Duke walked Jeffery Jones before Thomas drove his first pitch into center field, scoring Bradley from second and touching off a celebration in the middle of the infield. Oklahoma (50-18) took a 2-1 lead in the top of the 12th on Tyler Ogle’s homer off Ethan Carter. Tyler Webb (3-2), the Gamecocks’ sixth pitcher, got the win after relieving Carter. Duke (3-2) took the loss. South Carolina will play in-state rival Clemson in the Bracket 2 final Friday night. The Gamecocks have to beat Clemson twice to reach the best-of-three championship round.

NASCAR WEST FARGO, N.D. — It was another state and another dirt track race for Tony Stewart. But not another victory. The two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion, known for racing just about anything with four wheels, finished third in the 25-lap late model feature Wednesday at the Red River Valley Speedway. He won his heat earlier in the night. Stewart told the crowd that it was a “tricky track” that he didn’t figure out until it was too late. “I think I’ll be a little bit better when I come back,” he said, drawing a roar from the crowd that stayed until nearly midnight for the final result. Stewart came to North Dakota to promote the three-eighths-mile dirt track, which is being run this summer by the father of four-time World Of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz. Schatz races for Stewart. “It’s cool to come here to Fargo and get a chance to run here,” Stewart told the crowd during a break in the program. Stewart led early in the 24-car feature, but fell back before the midway point of the race. Cody Skytland of Fargo won the event. Stewart said before the event that spending three days in North Dakota reminded him of his early days in racing, when he used to sleep in his car because he couldn’t afford a hotel. He said he has raced in about 40 states. “I love what I do with NASCAR, but I’m still passionate about short track,” he said. “The good thing is that I get the luxury of having the best of both worlds.” Stewart said he believes NASCAR should run a dirt track race. “I’ve been lobbying for it for 11 years now,” he said.

NHL LOS ANGELES — When the Edmonton Oilers finally make the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft on Friday night, the most suspenseful mystery in Hollywood this week finally will be solved.

Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin are the clear-cut top prospects when the draft takes place in Los Angeles for the first time, but nobody knows who is No. 1 in the Oilers’ minds. “Your guess is as good as mine,” Hall said with a shrug Wednesday. Recent NHL drafts have contained relatively few surprises at the top: The Islanders eagerly grabbed John Tavares with the top pick last year, and Tampa Bay snatched up Steven Stamkos in 2008. The situation is much murkier before the 30 NHL clubs settle into Staples Center for two days of choosing from a draft class that serendipitously includes two top prospects born and trained in southern California: forwards Emerson Etem and Beau Bennett.

GOLF PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Cristie Kerr shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday for a share of the first-round lead with Stacy Lewis and Seon Hwa Lee in the LPGA Championship, the LPGA Tour’s second major of the season. Relying on her clutch putting, Kerr had five birdies and a bogey on the Locust Hill Country Club course in suburban Rochester. She won the LPGA State Farm Classic two weeks ago for her 13th LPGA Tour title. • CROMWELL, Conn. — Justin Rose birdied five of his final six holes for a 6-under 64 and a share of the first-round lead in the Travelers Championship.

NCAA RECRUITING INDIANAPOLIS — Prep players may have to wait a little longer to start accepting scholarship offers. An NCAA committee announced Thursday that it will back a proposal to prohibit making scholarships offers to recruits before their July 1 of their junior year in high school. If passed, it would apply to all sports. Coaches also would have to receive high school transcripts documenting at least five semesters or seven quarters worth of academic work for a young recruit before they can offer a scholarship. The recruiting cabinet also wants to give coaches more flexibility in calling recruits, their parents or legal guardians. If approved, coaches could contact recruits and their families once a month from June 15 of their sophomore year through July 31 of their junior year in high school.

N.C. STATE COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Maryland athletic director Debbie Yow will visit North Carolina State on Friday to meet with a search committee looking for a new athletic director. Yow has spent 16 years at Maryland, and under her direction the Terrapins have won more than 20 NCAA championships, including titles by the 2002 men’s basketball team, the 2006 women’s basketball team and this year’s women’s lacrosse squad. Yow’s late sister, Kay Yow, was head coach of the North Carolina State women’s basketball team. Kay Yow died in 2009 after a long battle with breast cancer. Lee Fowler resigned as N.C. State’s athletic director last month and will be leaving on June 30.

NBA DRAFT

Davis taken by Raptors Associated Press

The NBA Draft notebook ... TORONTO — When Ed Davis was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 13th pick of the first round, it meant the draft’s fatherson legacy would last another year. This is the eighth straight year that the son of a former NBA player was taken in the draft. Davis, who left North Carolina after his junior year, is the son of Terry Davis, who played 10 seasons in the NBA with Miami, Dallas, Denver and Washington. Andy Rautins of Syracuse, the son of former NBA player Leo Rautins, was taken by the New York Knicks in the second round. The rest of the streak is: Mike Dunleavy in 2002, Luke Walton in 2003, Jackson Vroman in 2004, Sean May in 2005, Ronnie Brewer in 2006, Al Horford in 2007, Patrick Ewing Jr. in 2008, Stephen Curry, Gerald Henderson and Austin Daye in 2009. There was almost another fatherson combination to add to this year’s list. Quincy Pondexter of Washington was taken 26th by the Oklahoma City Thunder. His father, Roscoe, was a third-round pick of the Boston Celtics in 1974 but he never played in the NBA, opting for a professional career in Europe.

AMINU FroM 1B Aminu worked out for the Clippers on June 1, and he already has leased a place to live in Marina Del Rey, Olshey said. “We’ve been one of the poor rebounding teams in the league at the small forward position,” Olshey said. “We just added the best rebounder in the ACC.” Aminu was touted for his length and mobility, with an innate ability to snag rebounds. “He’s used to playing with talent, and he accepts a role. He comes from a great family, wants to get better and wants to work,” Olshey said. “There’s going to be a curve. He’s young and a 19-year-old second-year player. We’ve got the time to develop him. It’s a really nice building

BUSY SCHOOL Kentucky dominated the first round of Thursday night’s NBA draft and passed some other powerful college programs with the five players selected.

block.” Aminu’s first name means “the chief has arrived.” He is descended from a line of Nigerian kings. His older brother, Alade, spent last season playing in the D-League before getting called up by the Miami Heat. The Clippers finished with a 29-53 record, missing the playoffs for the 15th time in 17 years. They were 833 on the road, their worst mark away from home since 1999-2000, when they went 5-36. None of that seemingly bothers Aminu. “My agent was telling me there was a possibility I’d end up with the Clippers,” he said. “I already kind of liked the idea of it.” The Clippers have been without a coach since firing Kim Hughes, who filled the interim position, on April 15. Team president Andy Roeser said he expects a coach to be hired by the

time free agency begins July 1. “We’ve narrowed it down to a short list of candidates and have had discussions,” he said. The Clippers have nine free agents, and Roeser said, “We’re going to be very active.” Aminu made his way to the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York wearing a pair of big blackrimmed glasses. “I like the glasses,” Olshey said. “It’s a highly intellectual approach. I think it’s an homage to Baron Davis.” Aminu added, “It’s a fashion thing. They’re just a different look.” Besides Davis, Aminu joins a team featuring last year’s No. 1 overall pick Blake Griffin, who broke his left kneecap in the final preseason game and was sidelined the entire season. Griffin is now back to full strength and is expected to be ready for training camp.

After his name was announced to begin the draft, Wall hugged family members and donned a blue Wizards cap before climbing onto the stage to shake commissioner David Stern’s hand. Predicted to finish in the top half of the Eastern Conference last season, the Wizards’ season quickly spiraled out of control, reaching its low point on New Year’s Day when news broke of the altercation involving guns between Arenas and fellow guard Javaris Crittenton, who also was suspended for the year. Washington eventually traded fellow stars Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler in a dismal 26-56 finish. Arenas is eligible to return, but Wall is ready to take charge of the team. “I was always a leader by example being the first in the gym and the last in the gym,” Wall said. “But I’m a leader that doesn’t mind speaking up to the older guys.” Kentucky landed a second topfive pick when DeMarcus Cousins was taken by Sacramento at No. 5, then put two more players in the top 18 when the Houston Rockets chose Patrick Patterson at No. 14 and Oklahoma City took guard Eric Bledsoe four spots later. Daniel Orton then went to Orlando with the 29th pick, breaking the previous record of four first-round picks from one school. “It’s a big day and they are all behind us right now and they won’t stop texting and tweeting and calling me, so this will be a big day,” Cousins said. The Philadelphia 76ers took national player of the year Evan Turner from Ohio State at No. 2. The notoriously tough Philadelphia fans at Madison Square Garden liked the choice, loudly cheering and chanting “Evan Turner! Evan Turner!” “I don’t have any pressure. I have a lot of demands of myself,” Turner said. “If Philly expects me to be great, then we have a mutual understanding.” Derrick Favors became the second freshman taken in the first three picks when the New Jersey Nets chose the Georgia Tech forward. “I pretty much knew John was going to 1 and Evan was going 2,

but I had no idea I was going to the Nets, and when they called me I was just excited,” Favors said. The Minnesota Timberwolves then grabbed Syracuse forward Wesley Johnson, whom the Nets also had considered. Stern seemed impressed by the Christmas-colored slacks worn by Johnson, who held up his leg to show them off. Baylor’s Ekpe Udoh also is headed to Northern California, chosen by Golden State at No. 6. Detroit kept up the run of big men by selecting Georgetown center Greg Monroe with the seventh pick, before the Los Angeles Clippers went for Wake Forest’s AlFarouq Aminu. Butler’s Gordon Hayward went ninth to Utah, one spot before the Indiana Pacers would’ve faced pressure to pick the hometown star. Instead, they chose Fresno State forward Paul George before Kansas teammates Cole Aldrich (New Orleans) and Xavier Henry (Memphis) went with back-to-back picks. Aldrich’s rights were later sent to Oklahoma City along with veteran swingman Morris Peterson for the rights to the Thunder’s Nos. 21 and 26 picks, which became Iowa State forward Craig Brackins and Washington guard Quincy Pondexter. The draft hadn’t even started and already the buzz was on free agency, which opens in exactly a week with LeBron James leading perhaps the deepest class ever. There were even a few chants for the league’s MVP, whom the Knicks are expected to make a run at. Moves were made with July 1 in mind, such as the Bulls’ deal with Washington that opened additional salary cap space for perhaps a second top player. Toronto drafted North Carolina’s Ed Davis at No. 13, a potential replacement if the Raptors lose Chris Bosh in free agency. “I know they have big free agents coming up with Chris Bosh and people are saying he’s not going to be there, but right now I’m just going to try to work hard and earn the starting job,” Davis said. There were a flurry of trades near the bottom of the first round, including a deal that sent forward Martell Webster from Portland to Minnesota for Ryan Gomes and the rights to the No. 16 pick, Luke Babbitt.

Is a painful biopsy really necessary for this ex-smoker? Dear Dr. Gott: I am a 60year-old female. After smoking for 40 years, I was finally able to stop. Now I suffer from many illnesses caused by my smoking — emphysema, asthma, COPD and bulla disease. My white blood count has been high for years, and a year ago I was referred to an oncologist, who promptly performed a bone-marrow DR. PETER biopsy. My count has GOTT been in the 15,000 to 17,000 range but never higher than 22,000. The oncologist wants to do another biopsy. He doesn’t say exactly what he is looking for but implies that it might be leukemia. Dr. Gott, I am trying to be a good patient, but this procedure is very painful, and I don’t want to go through it again if it is uncalled for. My blood count is checked every month. Will I be required to have a yearly bone-marrow biopsy also? Please let me know your opinion on this. Dear Reader: Sadly, smoking can lead to many respiratory conditions, and the 40year-long habit has obviously left its mark. Many of today’s lung disorders are caused or worsened by smoking. While a number of

disorders affecting the lungs are chronic and incurable, most can be treated. You have taken a positive initial step to improve things, since the habit is now behind you. There are five types of white blood cells — lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, eosinophils and neutrophils. Your oncologist is determining on a periodic basis how many white blood cells you have. The normal range is between 4,500 and 10,000 per microliter. An abnormally high count known as leukocytosis might indicate such conditions as leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue damage or infection. An abnormally low count known as leukopenia might indicate bone-marrow failure, a disorder of the liver or spleen, lupus or exposure to radiation. The bone-marrow biopsy is commonly ordered if a person has an abnormal number of red or white blood cells on lab testing. The results can help a physician zero in on or exclude such conditions as cancer, anemia, leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease and a great number of other possibilities. Because you had the test a year ago, my guess is that your oncologist may not have obtained a clear diagnosis then or wishes to determine any progression. To the best of my knowledge, this test is not performed annually. Because each case is different, that question should be presented to your oncologist or

primary-care physician. While there is discomfort involved during the procedure, it is likely the best means of obtaining vital information necessary for your continued care. Therefore, sadly, I recommend that you undergo the procedure one more time to get to the bottom of the issue. Many patients request conscious sedation, which may alleviate a great deal of the anxiety and pain associated with the procedure. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Pulmonary Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 check or money order to Newsletter, P.O.

More flexibility for the defense tract.) Here, East knows that a minor-suit shift will serve no purpose. He should encourage West to continue hearts, signaling enthusiastically with his nine. East will be disappointed when West next leads the heart two, not the king, but his frustration will be short-lived. East will take the first trump trick and give West a heart ruff. The defenders will take one heart, two spades and that ruff.

BY PHILLIP ALDER United Feature Syndicate

Margaret Drabble, an English novelist, biographer and critic, asked: “Why can’t people be both flexible and efficient?” In this week’s columns, we have been looking at defensive signaling requiring flexibility of thought. Here is another example. How should the defenders card to defeat four spades after West guesses well to lead the heart ace? When South jumps to four spades, he ought to have at least a five-card suit, because North might have raised with three-card support. With only four spades, South should rebid three notrump. Then, if North has four spades, he will correct to game in that suit. East thinks he can see four defensive tricks: the ace-king of hearts and aceking of spades. But, at trick one, because he does not have the heart queen, his natural reaction is to play the three. With this layout, though, that would probably let the contract through. West would likely shift to a diamond. (Readers of yesterday’s column saw a deal in which North had the identical hand, and a diamond switch at trick two was the only way to defeat the con-
