lotte Observer, serving as its circulation manager/director from 1959 until his retirement in 1971. In all, he had worked for the Charlotte newspaper for more than 47 years. Add in six years he sold papers for the Columbia (S.C.) Record, a long-ago afternoon newspaper, and Rogers spent half his life wiping ink off his hands. At one point, when he was circulation director for both the Observer and the now defunct afternoon newspaper, the Charlotte News, Rogers was responsible for seeing that some 240,000 editions were delivered every day. Roughly 1,600 carriers were part of his army. “The paper is of no value to anyone if you can’t get that paper delivered,” he explains. “Making up a newspaper, printing it and leaving it in the plant is no good for anyone.” Spoken like a real paperboy. On his bedroom wall, he proudly displays the caricature Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Gene Payne drew of him at his Observer retirement. It is signed by scores of his newspaper friends from all departments. Rogers started selling newspapers in Columbia as a 9-year-old — going barracks to barracks at Fort Jackson during World War I. He covered the Observation Corps and officers division. Later, he sold papers on the street and at the minor league ballpark. Per usual, the paperboys were independent contractors. The first Columbia Record newspapers he hawked went for 3 cents a copy, of which he was able to pocket a penny. The newspaper price eventually

Jamie Morgan blames the Village People for confusion surrounding a new logo and name change for the YMCA. The disco icons, whose hit song “YMCA” has become a wedding dance staple, wrongly complained last month that the Y was dropping the “MCA,” said Jamie Morgan, CEO for the YMCA of Rowan County. While the Young Men’s Christian Association will now use its long-time nickname, “the Y,” the organization will not change its legal name or Christian-based mission, Morgan said. “Part of my concern is that people got the wrong message,” Morgan said. “People thought we were dropping the C, but that is just not the fact.” The new logo actually incorporates the letters “YMCA,” while the old logo does not, he said. “As a matter of fact, we are going to try to lift the C up more than ever,” he said. “So people can rest easy.” It’s the first new logo in 43 years for the YMCA, founded in London in 1844 and introduced in the United States in the 1850s. The change comes after research showed that many people don’t understand what the organization does, Morgan said. They think of the Y as a place to exercise and nothing more. “Most of this rebranding effort was to reposition us as a charitable organization,” he said. “We are truly here to make our community a better place to live.” While slightly rounded, the triangle remains in the Y’s new logo and still represents the three tenets of spirit, mind and body, Morgan said. “It was very intentional to keep that triangle,” he said. Names of the three Y branches in Rowan County — J.F. Hurley YMCA in Salisbury, J. Fred Corriher Jr. YMCA in South Rowan and Saleeby-Fisher YMCA in East Rowan — will not change. Together, the three branches had 15,700 members last year and provided more than $500,000 in financial assistance. No one is

‘Paperboy’ Rogers enjoys retirement route BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com

ruce Rogers Sr. has always been a paperboy. But more on that later. Rogers lives by himself in a handsome Salisbury condominium, tucked into a shady corner of homes. Out front, the landscaping around his porch includes three tomato plants — “late tomatoes,” he calls them, because they weren’t planted until June. A neighbor friend feeds the tomato plants, and he waters them. They have neatly filled a spot where a bush died and had to be uprooted. Rogers cooks most of his meals, and he has become a decent MARK baker, making chocoWINEKA late eclairs that he shares with his neighbors, especially three women friends. “It’s hard to cook for one, you know,” Rogers says. He drives to the grocery store, doctor appointments, the drugstore and church. He says he probably puts about 50 miles a week on his car. On television, he likes to watch the news shows and sports, such as Atlanta Braves games, golf and football. Sometimes he rides in the golf cart with his son, Bruce Jr., as he plays a round at The Crescent. He reads the Charlotte Observer every day, usually spending an hour and a half to two hours with it every morning. “I’m a slow reader,” he says.

A caricature of Rogers, drawn by Gene Payne, was signed by coworkers when he retired. Rogers is always surprised by retirees who say there’s nothing to do. Just cooking, eating and cleaning — and all the things involved in keeping a house — consume a lot of time, he says. It probably should be mentioned here that Bruce Rogers celebrated his 102nd birthday in June. His secret to living a long, prosperous life? “Being short,” he laughs. Rogers may be a bit undersized, but he was a big figure at the Char-

How to fix real pain in the butt In balance? Q: How were you able to sprint after you had your injury? A: Let me explain to all readers where this question originated from. As most people know I am a “retired” top athlete. My sport was judo (throwing people, strangulations, submission holds and trying to break their arms) and I put my body through all kinds of stress and injuries. Aerobics and strength workouts, yoga and Pilates, have really been beneficial to me. ESTER My son AnMARSH drew runs track. (As you are reading this we are actually in Norfolk, Va., for the National AAU Track and Field Championships!) I started getting back into running again. About a year ago, I was asked to be part of a 4x100 meter parent/coaches relay team, and I was quite excited about it (as I was a sprinter, long, long, long time ago). I started training for it, and very soon after my first sprint practice I literally got a pain in my buttocks aka gluteus maximus. Of course, I did not give it the appropriate rest. I continued to have the

butt issue for over a year. About five weeks ago, I was hurting so bad that I was contemplating getting a cortisone shot. I finally took someone’s advice and went to see Dr. Hugh William Hurst at Rowan Chiropractic. Now understand, my spine is in bad shape, and I have a plate and four screws in my neck (sixth-to-seventh cervical fusion). She promised me that her chiropractor will not twist and turn my neck and spine. (Please note that many people do very well with those techniques just not me.) Four weeks ago, I went to see him. Dr. Hurst is in the historic Salisbury building on the third floor on Council Street. Going up the stairs to his office (there is an elevator), I really felt the pain shooting up my butt. I met Dr. Hurst and found out that his dad and granddad were YMCA executive directors, and we hit it off immediately. He took all of my history (lots of history, yikes!) explained his way of treatment, and this is what I got: He does not twist and turn my spine to make adjustments. He uses the Integrator, a chiropractic adjusting instrument. This instrument is also known as the torque adjustor. It is a legally marketed medical device for the adjustment of vertebral subluxation, only available to licensed doctors of

WLBT-TV in Jackson reports the men were caught Thursday when they tried to sell the fake laptops to an off-duty state trooper.

chiropractic. If you want a better explanation you need to go see Dr. Hurst and let him explain! All I know is that after one session he told me to get up, and the pain in my butt was gone. I felt so good I was scared to move. I made an appointment to see him again a week later. He leaves it up to you to make the appointment. Since my third appointment, I have seen an amazing difference. At track practice that night the female parents relay team was going to practice for the Russell Blunt meet at Duke. One of the four was not there and they asked if I could fill in. I am thinking, I feel great; do I want to mess up my butt again? What do you think? Of course I will fill in! And guess what? I was sprinting and feeling great. I couldn’t believe it. Well, we ran the parent relay on July 25, and we placed second out of 10 teams, only 0.4 of a second away from gold. Can’t wait ’til next year. I will actually be able to practice since my “pain in the butt” is gone . Just make sure you are not taking my Monday 11 a.m. slot. • • •

Mystery portraits need identities BY SUSAN SHINN For The Salisbury Post

o you recognize the people in these portraits? If so, Lee Clement Piper would like to hear from you. Piper’s mother, artist Lou Murphy, died in October, leaving behind — literally — a studio full of portraits. Many of them, Piper has no idea who they are. She’d like to give the paintings to their owners — freeing up space in the studio in her Ellis Street home. “This is what started it,” Piper says, gesturing to a large painting of two children, likely brother and sister. “I don’t think it’s finished — in my mother’s head,” she says. “She hasn’t signed it. That’s when I know it’s finished. I have all these portraits of people. I would love to know who they are.” Piper pulls out one canvas after another. They seem to be done over a period of years, but she feels sure they’re all Rowan County subjects. There’s a portrait of a young man wearing a ball cap, a painting Piper pronounces “pure Rowan County.” “This is a really nice portrait,” she says, pulling out yet another one. “I think the subjects would want it.” Piper asked some of her mother’s artist friends about the subjects. They didn’t know, either. “It’s very frustrating,” Piper says. She admits, “Organization was not my mother’s strong point. It’s hard to keep up. She was extremely prolific.” Piper also has a collection of her mother’s nudes — not for publication, of course. “Come see me,” Piper says to anyone who may have posed for Murphy.

Although Piper has a studio upstairs, she says she paints, “very badly.” “I told my mother I had a dream, and she said, ‘Paint it,’ ” Piper says. So she did — filling a 4foot by 5-foot canvas with an image from India. She plans to look at slides from her 1986 trip to flesh out the painting. “Big canvases are very forgiving,” Piper notes. For someone who “paints badly,” it’s a good start. Piper wants to paint. “I have very good memories of hanging out with my mom in her studio. She didn’t teach me how to cook and she didn’t teach me how to paint, but I took in a lot. “I just think these people ought to have these pictures.” Piper suddenly realizes that two paintings are likely of the same subject. “I’ve never seen them side by side, but look, he’s wearing the same shirt,” she says, pointing to portraits of an older gentleman wearing a dark red shirt. “That’s so funny. I never noticed that before.” Every 10 years or so for several decades, Murphy painted a self portrait. The one she painted of herself in her 70s is soft, with a pastel background. But the one she painted just before her death at age 87 is startling in its intensity. Piper says it’s her favorite. She says she doesn’t look like her mother, but there’s definitely a resemblance. “I think this is something my mom would want me to do,” Piper says of her quest.

Piper characterizes this portrait as ‘pure Rowan County.’ Lou Murphy’s portrait of these two children was the painting that inspired her daughter, Lee Clement Piper, to find the subjects of several portraits. Piper believes this may have been done in the ’70s or ’80s because of the size of the boy’s glasses. ‘He’s grown up by now,’ she says.

Council to consider advisory committee Group would guide historic preservation plan

The city of Salisbury could ask citizens to guide a professional consultant in the creation of a citywide historic preservation master plan. At 4 p.m. Tuesday, City Council will consider establishing an advisory committee made up of neighborhood residents, preservation advocates, property owners and citizens with professional expertise. The city has won a $15,000 grant to fund the master plan. With an additional $8,000 in local matching dollars, the $23,000 project will pay a consultant to complete the plan. The nine-member committee would guide preparation of the master plan, developing a vision, goals and strategies for historic preservation in Salisbury and reviewing criteria for designating or expanding historic districts. Members would make recommendations on administering historic preservation efforts and suggest ways to reconcile conflicts between historic resource protection and minimum housing requirements in neighborhoods not registered as historic districts. The committee would have one year to complete a report. Also Tuesday, council will hold a public hearing on a potential investment grant for Norandal USA. Norandal is considering expanding its Salisbury operation, adding a casting line to the aluminum production plant at 1709 Jake Alexander Boulevard South. The expansion would create a minimum of 25 jobs and invest about $7 million in the city, according to an economic impact analysis by RowanWorks Economic Development. The project appears to meet the city’s criteria for a grant of 75 percent of tax revenue generated by the project over five years. During the proposed fiveyear incentive agreement, the company would generate an average of $37,760 of new revenue annually, RowanWorks estimated. The city would provide an annual incentive grant of about $28,320. In other business, council will: • Consider awarding $150,000 in HOME funds to Liberty Square Transitional Housing for Veterans. • Hold a public hearing regarding the city’s application for a $54,346 Justice Assistance Grant.

Memories of Shober Bridge recalled without taking sides on saving or replacing it ooking at the website service of the Salisbury Post from here in Danville, I have followed some of the controversy concerning either the saving or demolition of the wooden Shober Bridge, with a steel replacement to be put in its place. I’m not going to weigh in on that subject, especially since the term “weigh in” is reminiscent of a similar term used at the beginning of a boxing match, at which time the opponents’ names and weights are announced. I’m just going to mention some of my memories associated with the bridge. I recall riding one of the Salisbury city buses on numerous occasions out to Dr. Frank B. Marsh’s office to get my bee al-

lergy shots. The bus would cross over the Shober Bridge enroute to the doctor’s office. Back then, the bridge was less old, but no less wooden than it is now. There has been mention of its lack MACK of height, but when WILLIAMS I crossed it on that old Salisbury bus back in the early 1960s, I wondered if it was wide enough. Associated with the Shober Bridge, almost as much as the physical structure itself, was what I would see upon looking to my left after just crossing the bridge on my way to Dr. Marsh’s,

or looking to the right , just before crossing it on my return to downtown Salisbury. Something else, just as wooden as the bridge, but more decorative than practical, stood in the side part of the front yard of an old house next to the Shober Bridge. There were a couple of decorative deer made from wood. They looked more like stick figures than elaborate carvings. Upon stick-like legs was a section of log for the body. Another stick comprised the neck, upon which was placed a rudimentary head, topped with branching sticks for antlers. The whole appearance looked more utilitarian than aesthetic, resembling a sawhorse more than a deer.

My brother Joe and I have always been interested in railroads since our father and grandfather on our mother’s side were railroad men. In fact, Danville, Va., where I now live, still derives a certain amount of promotional mileage out of a 107-year-old train wreck. I remember Joe telling me the story of hobos getting their heads bashed in by the Shober Bridge if they were standing on top of the boxcar as it passed underneath. I later saw a movie titled “Emperor of the North” in 1973 at Salisbury’s old Terrace Theater. Set during the Great Depression, the movie featured Ernest Borgnine portraying a conductor dedicated (perhaps a little too much) to keeping hobos from riding his

train. He used a hammer to bash the hobos’ heads in, and then he would throw them off the train. For those hobos who had their heads bashed in by the Shober Bridge, it was much less personal than having them bashed in by a railroad conductor. But the end results were, I imagine, pretty much the same. I have mentioned my memories of the Shober Bridge without weighing in on either side of the opinion concerning what its fate should be. By not doing so, I guess I could be described by a term which all of us used long ago at Granite Quarry School : “Chicken!” I crossed the Shober Bridge then, but I won’t cross the Rubicon of public opinion now.

AREA/OBITUARIES

Local cattle producers finding pinkeye in herds ’m sure some folks will beg to differ, but in my lifetime, this summer has easily been the hottest and most humid, especially through June and July. I saw data from Charlotte Saturday evening stating that Saturday, July 31 was the coolest day of July and there were 26 days in July in which the high tempera- BRAD ture exceeded JOHNSON 90 degrees. Rains have been spotty throughout the county, but obviously very badly needed. Growing up in northwest Ohio, I remember a severe drought throughout the entire summer of 1988 that affected much of the upper Midwest. I have very distinct memories of baling straw the second week of July that year with the temperature every day that week peaking at well over 100. An interesting research project would have been determining how much weight we all lost that week. We’d start every day with three or four dry shirts and a couple of pairs of dry gloves. They didn’t stay dry long. For kicks ‘n grins, we put a thermometer in the hay loft of a particular barn with a slate

Teens face drug charges after marijuana found in park trash can EAST SPENCER — Three teenagers face drug charges after East Spencer’s interim police chief found $270 worth of marijuana in a trash can at Royal Giants Park. Dwayne Jacquan Means, 16, of East Spencer, Sherod Raheen Mathis, 16, of Salisbury and Jameel Kenneth Stephens-Maddox, 17, of East Spencer are charged with felony possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana. Lt. Floyd Baldo said he has increased patrols at the park on Robinson Road after recent vandalism. During a patrol, he saw the teens in the park. When he pulled up to investigate, Baldo said the subjects ran behind the concession stand, where Baldo found three baggies of marijuana in a trash can.

Grizzly cubs from mauling were malnourished Man shot outside his Concord home

Ruth H. Glover

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Three grizzly bear cubs whose mother killed one person and mauled two others in a late-night attack at a Montana campground were malnourished and still in their winter coats. The cubs have arrived at their new home at ZooMontana in Billings. Zoo executive director Jackie Worstell said Sunday the two female cubs and one male cub were underweight, possibly explaining their mother’s unusually aggressive behavior. “It may be an indication of what happened,” Worstell said. “There’s obvious signs of stress and malnourishment. Maybe (the sow) was desperate.” The year-old cubs each weighed only between 60 and 70 pounds, versus a normal range of 80 to 130 pounds. Wildlife officials are investigating what caused the cubs to be malnourished. Grizzlies are omnivores and eat everything from berries and ants to

Kevin Kammer, 48, of Grand Rapids, Mich., was killed and two people were seriously injured when the adult bear ripped into several tents Wednesday at the Soda Creek Campground near Cooke City, an old mining town just outside Yellowstone National

Park. The 300- to 400-pound sow was euthanized Friday after DNA tests linked it to the attacks. Wildlife officials have said she appeared to be healthy, but they intend to further study the body in hopes of explaining her behavior.

Space station cooling system suddenly shuts down CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Half of the International Space Station’s cooling system suddenly shut down during the weekend, forcing the astronauts to power down equipment and face the likelihood of urgent spacewalking repairs. After huddling Sunday, NASA managers gave preliminary approval for a pair of spacewalks, the first of which would take place later this week. Two of the Americans on board were already scheduled to conduct a spacewalk Thursday for routine maintenance, though the repairs would supersede the original

chores. Officials stressed that the six occupants were in no danger, and that the orbiting complex was in a stable situation. The trouble arose Saturday night, when one of the two ammonia-fed cooling loops shut down. Alarms sounded throughout the sprawling outpost as the circuit breaker for the pump in that line tripped, causing the pump to stop working. The cooling system is critical for on-board operations. The two ammonia lines ensure that all the station’s electronic equipment does not overheat and with one of those out of

commission, there is no safeguard in case of a second failure. Astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson hustled through the equipment shutdown procedures and, with crewmate Douglas Wheelock, installed a jumper cable to keep all the rooms cool. Flight controllers tried to restart the disabled ammonia pump early Sunday, but the circuit breaker tripped again. No further repair attempts were planned, at least for now. In fact, the astronauts were allowed to sleep in because of all the late-night disruptions. Any repairs later this week

will involve replacing that ammonia pump, a difficult job that would require two spacewalks. Two spare pumps are stored on the outside of the station. The first repair spacewalk likely would occur Thursday at the earliest, with the second excursion two or three days later. A final decision on whether to proceed with the task will be made following additional engineering review. Among the equipment powered off for now: the Global Positioning System circuit, several power converters and a set of devices that route commands to various equipment.

went up to a nickel a copy, and his take was 2 cents. As a 12-year-old, while selling newspapers at the ballpark, he noticed that the circulation manager seemed to be at every game. Rogers admired the way he dressed, the automobile he drove and the cigars he smoked, and he decided at that moment he was going to be a newspaper circulation manager some day. He laughs telling the story. A couple of years later, he learned that the circulation manager probably seemed as successful as he was because he was the brother of the Record’s owner. Rogers’ father was a lineman for the telephone company, and he moved his family to Charlotte when Bruce was 15. Bruce immediately looked for work at the Charlotte Observer, securing a job on Saturday nights as an inserter for the Sunday editions. By 1923, he was on the Observer payroll and says he simply did everything in the circulation department over the years to achieve the goal he set as a 12-year-old: circulation manager. “I was a workaholic,” he recalls. “I didn’t mind being on the job seven days a week.” Rogers often met with his paperboys and went over the kind of service the Observer expected. In his day, for example, the newspaper was supposed to land on a reader’s front porch. Rogers and his wife, Mary, raised two children, Bruce Jr., who lives in Rowan County, and Betty Carter, who lives in Charlotte. He has five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

He lodges no complaints about his current newspaper delivery. Over 20 years in Salisbury, the carrier has only missed him twice, he says. But today newspapers are typically thrown from moving vehicles into yards or onto sidewalks or driveways. The same goes for Rogers’ newspaper, which usually lands a good ways up his sidewalk. He has, however, a neighbor who leaves early for work every morning, and he picks up Rogers’ newspaper and places it on the front porch. To Rogers, that man has a bright future in circulation.

HOLIDAY FROM 1a Southpoint during the tax holiday compared with other summer weekends. Some retailers offer discounts for the whole week that cuts prices about the same amount as shoppers would save in taxes. At the New Balance stores in Durham and Raleigh, the tax holiday is so popular that stores stopped having a fall anniversary sale to focus all of those resources on back-toschool. “This is our Christmas,” said owner Mark Allard. “We do essentially about a month’s

worth of business during that week.” Critics of the tax break say it saves shoppers very little. “Sales tax holidays are political gimmicks” said David Brunori, executive vice president of editorial operation for taxanalysts.com and a professor of public policy at George Washington University. “They provide little relief and a great opportunity for politicians to pat themselves on their backs. “Keep in mind there is a reason why the retailers in every state advocate for holidays. They are the one’s making money. They know people will flock to the stores and can set prices, inventory and staff to maximize profits.”

mates housed in segregation at the maximum security Red Onion State Prison in southwestern Virginia. Elkins is awaiting a report from the medical examiner on Monday, but he said authorities believe Cooper was strangled. Authorities are trying to figure out how it could have happened, because each inmate is placed in a separate, small caged-in area for recreation. Elkins said authorities believe Cooper was strangled with a piece of clothing, towel or bed sheet that was somehow reached through the chain link fence that separates the inmates on the recreation yard. Elkins said he didn’t know when charges might be filed against Gleason.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — The death toll from massive floods in northwestern Pakistan rose to 1,100 Sunday as rescue workers struggled to save more than 27,000 people still trapped by the raging water. The rescue effort was aided by a slackening of the monsoon rains that have caused the worst flooding in decades in Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province. But as flood waters started to recede, authorities began to understand the full scale of the disaster. “Aerial monitoring is being conducted, and it has shown that whole villages have washed away, animals have drowned and grain storages have washed away,” said Latifur Rehman, spokesman for the Provincial Disaster Management Authority. “The destruction is massive.” The flooding, which the U.N. estimates has affected 1 million people nationwide, comes at a time when the Pakistani government is already grappling with a faltering economy and a war against the Taliban. The United States announced Sunday that it would provide Pakistan with $10 million in humanitarian assistance, a high-profile gesture at a time when the Obama administration is trying to dampen anti-American sentiment in the country.

Spending by wealthy weakens WASHINGTON (AP) — Wealthy Americans aren’t spending so freely anymore. And the rest of us are feeling the squeeze. The question is whether the rich will cut back so much as to tip the economy back into recession — or if they will spend at least enough to sustain the recovery. The answer may not be clear for months. But their cutbacks help explain why the rebound could be stalling. The economy grew at just a 2.4 percent rate in the AprilJune quarter, the government said Friday, much slower than the 3.7 percent rate for the first quarter. Economists say overall consumer spending has slowed mainly because the richest 5 percent of Americans — those earning at least $207,000 — are buying less. They account for about 14 percent of total spending. These shoppers have retrenched as their investment values have sunk and home values have languished. In addition, the most sweeping tax cuts in a generation are due to expire in January, and lawmakers are divided over whether the government can afford to make any of them permanent as the federal budget deficit contin

President Barack Obama wants to allow the top rates to increase next year for individuals making more than $200,000 and couples making more than $250,000. The Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index has tumbled 9.5 percent since its high-water mark in late April. Home values fell 3.2 percent in the first quarter, according to the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20city home price index. Think of the wealthy as the main engine of the economy: When they buy more, the economy hums. When they cut back, it sputters. The rest of us mainly go along for the ride. Earlier this year, gains in stock portfolios had boosted household wealth. And the rich responded by spending freely. That raised hopes the recovery would strengthen.

23 injured in Texas balcony collapse AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The second-floor balcony of a condominium in central Texas collapsed during a party, sending 23 people to the hospital. The collapse happened around 4:15 a.m. Sunday at the Garden Court Condominiums in Austin, about four miles from downtown. Fire Lt. Randy Elmore

says about 30 people were on the balcony when it collapsed. He said 23 people were taken to an Austin hospital with injuries ranging from minor scratches to bone fractures. None of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. Hospital spokeswoman Lauren Picarello says all but five people had been released as of early Sunday afternoon.

Inmate sues man he’s convicted of burglarizing ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Florida inmate is suing the man he’s convicted of burglarizing, claiming the man and two others roughed him up during a citizen’s arrest. Michael Dupree is serving a 12-year sentence for burglary and cocaine possession stemming from a 2007 breakin of a van in St. Petersburg. Dupree allegedly stole a bicycle locked inside and was apprehended after the owner, Anthony McKoy, saw him

with the bike down the street. Dupree says McKoy and two others pointed a gun at him, handcuffed him and placed a knee painfully in his back. He’s seeking $500,000 for disabilities and distress suffered during the takedown. Dupree filed the civil lawsuit on his own, without the help of an attorney. After being served with the suit, McKoy said, “I thought it was a joke. I’m the victim.”

No longer. The dizzying plunge on Wall Street in May and June and lingering stock market turbulence have shrunk Americans’ wealth. The Dow fell 10 percent for the April-June quarter. The broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 11.9 percent. The affluent went back to tightening their belts in June after months of vigorous showing. Data from MasterCard Advisors’ SpendingPulse showed luxury spending fell in June for the first time since November. The decline followed a solid rise in sales revenue earlier in the spring.

Anyone who has trouble hearing is welcome to have their hearing checked FREE. Advanced electronic equipment will determine if the loss is one that can be helped.

Everyone should have a hearing test at least once a year - even people now wearing a hearing aid or those who have been told nothing could be done for them. Only a hearing test can determine if you are one of the many people who can benefit from hearing aids. The benefits of hearing aids vary by type and degree of hearing loss, noise environment, accuracy of hearing evaluation and proper fit. Please call today for an appointment.

Dear Amy: My grandmother moved halfway across the country more than four years ago to live at a lovely retirement home near my aunt. My father speaks to his mother each week but has not yet visited her. I am put in the uncomfortable situation of getting calls from my grandmother asking why my father won’t go out to see her. When I bring it up with my dad, he ignores the question or is vague. My grandmother is turning 90 next winter and really would like to see her son. Finances with my dad are not the issue. I tried last year to arrange a visit (with my mother) but was asked to stop pestering them. My dad was a good father to me and is an excellent grandparent to my kids, but I’m starting to feel uncomfortable with his total lack of regard toward my grandmother’s wishes, which are not unreasonable. At her age, it would be very hard for her to travel. My mother said she tried and is not willing to press the issue any further. What should I do? — Midwest Middleman Dear Middleman: You don’t have to explain your father’s insufficiencies. You should be

warm, loving and honest. When your grandmother asks you why your father won’t visit, say, “Gram, I don’t know what’s going on with dad. I’ve asked him, but I don’t really get a good answer. I’m sorry, I know this must disappoint you, but the kids and I are looking forward to our next trip, and we’re really excited.” 

Dear Amy: I had to respond to the letter about the 12-yearold boy who had stuffed animals. When I was in high school, the boy I had begun dating handed me a closed paper lunch bag. Shyly, he said he knew I could sew and wondered if I could fix what was in the bag. It was a stuffed panda bear, badly worn. I was touched by his sentimental attachment to the bear and thought, “This guy will make a great daddy someday.” Recently we celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. He’s been a wise, loving and gentle husband and father to our two daughters, who are now grown and married. And the stuffed panda bear? We still have it. — Shirley Dear Shirley: This is lovely.

sults. And I never fear being held hostage for refusing to do the ironing.

R122513

Though it’s true that life is uncertain, there’s at least one thing of which I am very sure: I never will be held hostage for refusing to iron. Unlike Mrs. Tyrrell — son whose held her at gunpoint, according to police, for six hours because she refused to iron his clothes (recently reported in The AtMARY lanta JournalHUNT Constitution) — I love to iron. I’m not saying that I would be that thrilled to do it for a 29-year-old son who refused to leave home, but I have a feeling that probably I would do the chore. I know that my love for ironing is a little odd. It’s just that I find the process to be soul-soothing. It gives me instant gratification. I love the sound of a good surge of steam over an ample ironing board that is positioned in good, natural light. More than that, l love ironing for the fact that it helped me get out of debt. I’m not kidding. Years ago, when I came to terms with the fact that I had a serious shopping problem, I sat down to analyze it. I figured out that I love the emotional sensation of buying stuff. Buying stuff on credit made me feel as if I had money, so using my credit cards gave me an emotional high that defied description. I loved the feeling, and I wanted to repeat it as often as possible. Trust me; I’m no therapist. But I figured that if I could find something less damaging that would produce a feeling at least equal to my shopping rush, something that was easily accessible at a moment’s notice, maybe I could use it to modify my behavior. That activity became ironing. Giving myself permission to iron whenever I got a sudden urge to respond to an infomercial or head for the mall was like giving a kid a key to a candy store. You wonder why I didn’t tell a soul about this for so many years? Because I feared people would think I’m nuts, the way you’re thinking right now. My secret worked better than I ever could have imagined. I didn’t realize how quickly my urge to spend would vanish once I could distract myself successfully. Over the years, my ironing habit has evolved. I have possibly the world’s finest home ironing system, for which I make no apologies. It was pricey. But compared with

That’s a lot to get over. It is exceptionally hostile for you to choose to be unfaithful to your wife with her friends. I can only hope that in addition to atoning for your own actions, you have also at least attempted to understand them. I believe that full reconciliation is possible, but your wife may not want to reconcile — or she might be ambivalent. (I would not be ambivalent.)

Wife may forgive, but forgetting is tough Dear Amy: Almost seven years ago, my wife of 24 years learned that I had a 10-year affair with her closest friend. I had ended that relationship, but then I had a two-year affair with another friend of hers. (Affair partner No. 1 exposed my second affair to my wife.) I moved out, my wife divorced me ASK and our two AMY grown kids were traumatized and disappointed in me, but chose to see that I was horribly ashamed of my behavior and forgave me. My former wife and I continued in therapy with the hopes of reconciliation. We are now living together. My commitment to her and our family is certain. I live with shame for what I did and how it affected many lives. My former wife will not go to social events if she might see the women who betrayed her. We have not seen the other couples in several years. My ex-wife’s pain from these traumas is always just below the surface, and I hear about my affairs again and again. I love her, but I am tiring of hearing about my actions, which traumatized me, too. Is full reconciliation impossible? I can’t take back 12 years of adultery, but I want a future with the woman I loved all along. — Now, True Blue Dear Now: It is possible for your wife to forgive you and yet not be able to forget. Remember that she was betrayed not only by you, repeatedly, but by two friends.

Medicare still allows choice

Pentagon gettin’ while it can L

What beneficiaries need to know about health reform BY DONNA REYNOLDS Special to the Salisbury Post

uly 30 marked the 45th anniversary of the Medicare program. On July 30, 1965, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill into law in the presence of former President Harry Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony. Nearly 19 million beneficiaries followed President Truman and enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Today, more than 45 million Americans are enrolled, including 24,953 in Rowan County, making Medicare the nation’s largest healthinsurance program. While Medicare has evolved in many ways over the years, it is during the next decade that some of the program’s most transformative changes will occur. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 34 million baby boomers will become eligible for Medicare in the next decade alone, at a rate of more than 10,000 every day. As anticipated enrollment undergoes tremendous growth, Medicare will also be affected by the health care reform legislation passed by Congress earlier this year. The new law will bring changes to some benefits and types of available coverage options. Whether you are aging into the Medicare population or provide care for someone who is eligible for Medicare, it is important to understand health care reform and what it means — and doesn’t mean — for the Medicare program. Medicare beneficiaries will continue to have a choice about how they receive Medicare coverage. Medicare Advantage plans will be available for most seniors and other beneficiaries as an alternative to traditional Medicare in 2011. Medicare Advantage plans have a track record of providing cost-effective, comprehensive health coverage, helping more than 11 million beneficiaries save money and access services not covered by traditional Medicare. As they’re reviewing their 2011 plan options, beneficiaries should ensure they’re making the Medicare choices that meet their needs, whether it’s a Medicare Advantage plan or traditional Medicare with or without supplemental coverage. The most important thing is to make an informed choice. Beneficiaries enrolled in a Medicare Part D (prescription drug) plan who hit the “doughnut hole” can expect financial assistance. As beneficiaries enter the Part D doughnut hole this year, they will receive a one-time $250 rebate check. It’s estimated that 3.4 million beneficiaries will receive a rebate check this year. Starting in 2011, the doughnut hole will be reduced in stages until it’s closed entirely in 2020. Also in 2011, beneficiaries in the doughnut hole will pay about 50 percent of the cost of most brandname drugs. Beneficiaries should anticipate some changes to the enrollment periods. The health-reform law eliminates the Open Enrollment Period – the period during the first three months of the year when Medicare Advantage enrollees could switch to a different Medicare Advantage plan. Because of this change, beneficiaries must be diligent when selecting their Medicare Advantage plan during the upcoming Annual Election Period, which starts Nov. 15 and ends Dec. 31. The Annual Election Period, also known as AEP, will change again next year, so look for more updates in 2011. To help understand the full scope of changes to Medicare that will gradually phase in over the next several years, Medicare beneficiaries may access resources at www.MedicareMadeClear.com, where they can download an easy-touse reference guide for understanding Medicare called Medicare Made Clear. They may also call 1-800MEDICARE. • • • Donna Reynolds is the executive director of UnitedHealthcare in Rowan County.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Don’t let budget cuts hit library Gentlemen: It is rumored that Rowan Public Library is due for some budget cuts, possibly of the serious type. While I understand that in present economic conditions some reductions in spending are inevitable, this institution is one that should be spared to the greatest extent possible. When we came to Salisbury in 1955, after enrolling in school, the public library was the first bit of Salisbury I familiarized myself with, and, over the years, which include 12 of college study, I am firmly convinced that it has provided me with more learning than I derived from formal study, in schools and universities. Learning is not something limited to classrooms and formal degree requirements. Most meaningful learning comes from reading on one’s own, and, over the years, from an initial provider of books, Rowan Public Library has evolved into much more through its various services including loans of books from other libraries. It provides an extremely valuable service, all too easily underrated and unappreciated. I ask the public and budgetary authorities to consider its worth and contributions to the community. — Richard Nash Salisbury

Vote for Biernacki I am a registered Republican. I was taught early on by my parents to vote for the person, not the party. The position of district attorney is not a matter of party affiliation, but rather who is best qualified. I am writing this letter to endorse Karen Biernacki for district attorney of Rowan County. I have known Karen for approximately 16 years. I first met her when I worked for the Sheriff’s Department. I worked with her closely at the District Attorney’s Office for nine years. I know she has excellent work ethics. (Karen has also served our country in the Army.) She is extremely dedicated, honest and hardworking. I realize some of the attorneys in our area are not endorsing her for various reasons, one of which is that Karen is not willing to make a deal for the defendant’s benefit. Would you like the district attorney to let a defendant off for a lesser charge if they thought they could get a quick conviction? She thinks of the victims first. As a voter, I challenge you to really look into what is promised or claims made by those running. I have heard of some promises and changes to be made that are beyond the D.A.’s control. Use your common sense and think if you really believe that a D.A. has that much power. Karen Biernacki has my vote and my husband Stacy’s vote for Rowan County district attorney. Bill Kenerly is leaving some big shoes to fill,

A special doctor (The following letter was written by Bill and Peggy Lentz for grandson Bobby.) Several weeks ago, our grandson Bobby had to get his physical for going into kindergarten this year. Bobby’s best friend Elmo had a hurt arm, so Bobby took Elmo with him. When Bobby got to the nurse’s station, he immediately told the nurse that his best friend Elmo had a hurt arm. The nurses told Bobby they would take care of it. The nurse came and sat Bobby, his grandfather and Elmo in a room. When the doctor came into the room, he asked, “What’s wrong with Elmo?” Bobby told him his best friend Elmo had a hurt arm. The doctor started working on Elmo immediately. He put white gauze and tape on Elmo’s left arm and it started feeling better. Then the doctor took care of Bobby. That’s why Bobby’s doctor, Dr. Choitner, and his staff are the best in the world. They took care of Bobby’s best friend Elmo. Many thanks from Bobby Bentley and Elmo. — Bill and Peggy Lentz Salisbury

A matter of taste Seems petty minds will always find reasons to squabble about what is, what is not art. Ann Cave knows what she

likes, but does she know as much as she should about art? Personal response determines the validity of a specific work no more than its content. Ruskin’s condemnation of Rembrandt on that score proved that experts can be as fallible as the least-educated layman. As for expert opinion pertinent to artistic merit, adverse or favorable, objectively it ain’t worth a French leper’s spit. No serious art historian today would deny that any given piece is art. The stale question of what art is has been obsolete for years. Even before the Mapplethorpe fiasco. Art has evolved to the promiscuous state that it’s anything that anybody says it is. The most eminent experts are unable to refute an arbitrary claim that any given effort is art. Aside from historical and technical commentary, the only valid comment that anyone can make about any work of art is how it strikes their peculiar fancy, however anomalous. Two different patrons can experience the same work as repulsive or stunning, fascinating or banal, essential or obscene. And both are right. Right that is, speaking exclusively for them. Right in expressing a wholly subjective feeling. It’s not possible to respond in a wrong way to a particular melody, a specific canvas or verse. “What is art?” is an altogether frivolous issue. There is a serious side to the ClydeCave clash though. Have Cave explain why she has the right to censor or make off with another’s property simply because she fails to see its merit or purpose. In the absence of legal concerns, the matter is solely one of taste. Even had Clyde violated existing law, Cave’s only option was to notify relevant authorities. If Clyde is guilty of anything, it’s only bad taste. The greater offense is Cave’s. She compounded theft with intellectual sins that the art community would almost unanimously condemn. — Tony Castelvecchi Salisbury

Underwear art In support of my favorite local artist, “Clyde Monet,” the definition of art is anything that evokes a response. One man’s underwear is another man’s art. — Kelly Snipes Salisbury

ast week Congress approved $33 billion for the military surge in Afghanistan — six months after the President requested it and despite the fact that he made this request through emergency channels outside the regular budget process. This delay offers a window into practical meaning of fiscal indiscipline. Reason one: Spending in an election year is driven by politics, not policy or process. Our elected leaders know that the best record to run on is the ability to get something for nothing. Public services like Medicare and public investment in local infrastructure are highly popular, but the taxes required to pay for them are not. The same general principal applies to the war in Afghanistan. Surging troops was just as politically popular last December as capping government spending is now. Congress members tried to do both, functioning as an echo chamber in the hopes of getting re-elected rather than showing decisive leadership. The irresponsibility of doing things without paying for them was lost in the echoing noise. Reason two: The request for emergency spending in Afghanistan was not really an emergency. Our country has seen at several times over this decade the way in which political concerns fall away in the wake of a true emergency. Such concerns weighed down the debate on funding the troop surge because this spending is not actually an emergency. The Pentagon’s budget has grown to such levels over the past 10 years that finding $33 billion is like looking under the sofa for spare change. Congress had already appropriated $660 billion to the Defense Department this year. Adding this $33 billion to it pushes us higher than any year since the end of World War II, and far out of proportion to the low-tech, disorganized challenges that we face. Defense Secretary Gates told Congress that “we begin to have to do stupid things if the supplemental [money] is not passed by July 4,” but nothing of the sort happened despite this missed deadline. In fact, if hard pressed, the Defense Department could have found $33 billion to pursue the war in Afghanistan with relatively few meaningful consequences elsewhere. At the same time, Congress members that dug into the $33 billion request saw that large chunks of it had no obvious bearing on the war. One of the most visible examples is the purchase of an F-35 fighter jet engineered in the late ‘80s for dog-fights with the Soviets. It will see no service in Afghanistan, and is not intended to. Rather, this is an example of the Pentagon getting while the getting’s good, knowing that its budgets will be much more heavily scrutinized after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan conclude. Taken together, mislabeling spending as an emergency led Congress to treat it as non-emergency. Reason three: No one is quite sure what we’re buying in Afghanistan. Osama bin Laden and the well-organized core of Al Qaeda are long gone from Afghanistan. So, too, is Mullah Omar and the rump Taliban state. What remains is a grab-bag of offshoots representing wildly different capabilities, motives, and connections to the Al Qaeda and Taliban organizations of 2001. Support to the government of Hamid Karzai the most sophisticated weapon that we can train on these insurgents. Yet that government is rotten from top to bottom, inside and out. No amount of money can force the government to act transparently or accountably. Nor can it buy our way back to 2001, when bin Laden and Mullah Omar were still in Afghanistan. Not knowing who we’re fighting, why we’re fighting them, or how we expect our resources to benefit the fight, Congress predictably lacked a sense of urgency to keep throwing money down the hole. Fiscal discipline is about determining what you want to buy, how you’re going to use what you’ve bought, the way in which you’ll pay for it, and the alternative opportunities you’re willing to forego. Spending for the troop surge in Afghanistan got hung up because we can only answer the first of these questions. We want victory over Al Qaeda and the Taliban but have embarrassingly little idea of what that means, how to match resources to that goal, or what we’re willing to give up to achieve it. Spending on America’s wars truly is where the rubber of fiscal discipline meets the road of reality. It is deeply unfortunate that right now we’re driving the wrong way on bald tires. • • • Former Salisbury resident Matthew Leatherman recently graduated from the Masters in International Affairs program at Columbia University and is pursuing a career in foreign policy and national security.

New questions arise on dispersant use in oil spill associated press

Bp chief operating officer doug settles listens to reporters’ questions. government scale back BP’s request. The EPA said in a statement that the company slashed its use by 72 percent through mid-July, when engineers placed a cap on the leaking well. “While EPA may not have concurred with every individual waiver granted by the federal on-scene coordinator, the agency believes dispersant use has been an essential tool in mitigating this spill’s impact, preventing millions of gallons of oil from doing even more damage to sensitive marshes, wetlands and beaches and the economy of the Gulf coast,” the agency said in a statement. A spokesman for the Coast Guard did not return calls seeking comment. The chemical dispersant was effective at breaking up the oil into small droplets to be consumed more easily by bacteria, but experts say it can kill seafood eggs and larvae, with the long-term effects unknown. That environmental uncertainty has led to several spats between BP and the government over the use of dispersants on the surface and deep underwater when oil was spewing out of the well. In humans, long-term exposure to dispersants can

cause central nervous system problems or damage blood, kidneys or livers, according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention. BP’s apparently generous use of dispersants helps explain why so little oil has been spotted on the surface recently, said Larry McKinney, executive director of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Whether the benefits of dispersants outweigh the possible risks is a “debatable point,” he said, noting that they’ve protected some fragile coastal wetlands from heavier bands of oil. “That’s a debate with no right answer,” he said. State waters closed by the spill have slowly reopened to fishing, most recently in Florida, where regulators on Saturday reopened a 23-mile stretch of Escambia County shoreline to harvest saltwater fish. The area was closed June 14 and remains closed to the shrimp and crab harvesting pending additional testing. Oysters, clams and mussels were never included in the closure. In Alabama, the Department of Public Health lifted all swimming advisories for the Gulf of Mexico. A temporary cap has held the gusher in check for more than two weeks, and engineers were planning to start Tuesday on an effort to help plug the well for good. The procedure, dubbed the static kill, involves pumping mud and possibly cement into the blown-out well through the temporary cap. If it works, it will take less time to complete a similar procedure using a relief well

that is nearly complete. That effort, known as a bottom kill, should be the last step to sealing the well. Before the static kill can take place, however, debris

TO MAIL-ORDER PRESCRIPTIONS

As a pharmacy patient, YOU have the right to purchase your prescriptions at the pharmacy of your choice.* “JUST SAY NO” to those calls and letters you are getting from some non-pharmacist agent trying to get you to move all of your prescriptions to mail-order.

Mail-order is bad healthcare. It is important for every patient to have a personal relationship with their local pharmacist, to ask questions and better understand medication side effects, as well as have someone to ask those important health care questions. You certainly do not have that ability with your postman. Insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers make more money if they can force you into mail-order. Medications are given to you by your doctor to improve your healthcare and quality of health. You need access to your local pharmacist to council you on these medications. You also need access to cross check the new medications with other medications you already take to guard again interactions. Your postman can’t do this either. If you are being told you have to use mail-order and are being discriminated against, call Wayne Goodwin, the Commissioner of Insurance (919-807-6750) and tell him you want your rights protected and you want to get your medication at the pharmacy of your choice.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP inched closer to permanently sealing the blown-out oil well in the Gulf of Mexico as environmental officials defended themselves Sunday against assertions they allowed the oil giant liberal use of chemical dispersants whose threat to sea life remains unknown. The Coast Guard routinely approved BP requests to use thousands of gallons of chemicals per day to break up the oil, despite a federal directive to use the dispersant rarely, congressional investigators said. Rep. Edward Markey, DMass., released a letter Saturday that said instead of complying with the EPA restriction, “BP often carpet bombed the ocean with these chemicals and the Coast Guard allowed them to do it.” Before leaving on a boat tour of recovery efforts Sunday off Venice, La., BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said the company had operated under a protocol agreed on by the Coast Guard and the federal government. “Furthermore,” spokesman Daren Beaudo said earlier, “we’ve complied with EPA requests regarding dispersants, which are an EPA-approved and recognized tool in fighting oil spills.” The EPA and the Coast Guard ordered BP on May 24, more than a month after the spill began, to cut the use of chemical dispersants by 75 percent. The Coast Guard approved 74 waivers over a 48-day period after the Environmental Protection Agency order, according to documents reviewed by the investigators. Only in a few cases did the

Biffle ends dry spell BY DAN GELSTON Associated Press

LONG POND, Pa. — Greg Biffle won it for Jack Roush. Biffle raced to victory in an often-delayed Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway on Sunday to snap a 64-race winless streak and take the checkered flag for his injured team owner. Biffle hadn’t won since the first two races in the 2008 Chase for the Cup championship. But with Roush in the Mayo Clinic for injuries sustained in a plane crash in Wisconsin, Biffle found Victory Lane. “We know he’s watching,” Biffle said. associated press Greg Bifﬂe, right, celebrates after snapping a stretch of 64 “It’s been really tough. We worked so hard.” races without tasting victory.

Hokies need to challenge nationally

It was also the first win of the season for both a Ford and Roush Fenway Racing. Tony Stewart was second and Roush driver Carl Edwards was third. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin, who won the last two Pocono races, round out the top five. Edwards spoke with Roush on Sunday morning and said his boss sounded in good spirits. “He was Jack,” Edwards said. “Don’t mess anything up. Don’t wreck. He’s been through a lot this last week. He really needed that victory. That’s pretty cool. I’m sure he’s really hard to handle for all those nurses in the hospital.” The start of the 500-mile race was delayed by rain, then had two lengthy red

flag stops that totaled nearly 50 minutes. Elliott Sadler and Kurt Busch both walked away from scary wrecks that knocked them out of the race. Biffle’s crew kept the same car after driving the No. 16 Ford to a season-high third-place finish last week at Indianapolis. That finish put Biffle in 11th place in the points standings and now he’s strongly positioned himself with five races for a spot in the 12-driver field for the championship chase. He won Chase races at New Hampshire and Dover in 2008 before falling into this winless drought. Biffle was winless last year for the first full season of his career. He won’t be shut out in back-

Redskins see ‘pure football’ BY JOSEPH WHITE

Raleigh News and Observer

GREENSBORO — Once the talk of agents, billiondollar television deals, athletic director moves and expansion settles down, the ACC will be back to dealing with the pesky issue of national football competitiveness. Among the six automatic qualifying leagues for Bowl Championship Series games, the ACC regularly is perceived as the runt of the litter. Conference players, coaches and officials prefer to talk up parity, but an inability to win or seriously compete for a BCS championship has become such heavy ACC baggage that it’s rarely even discussed at league functions. If the drought is to end in the near future, the most logical candidate has to be Virginia Tech, where Frank Beamer supplants Bobby Bowden as the ACC’s top coach. Unlike Bowden, who won national titles at Florida State in 1993 and 1999, Beamer hasn’t achieved the ultimate victory even though his teams have gone 62-18 overall and 40-11 in conference games since leaving the Big East for the ACC in 2004. Recent problems dealing with North Carolina’s defensive unit and Georgia Tech’s option rushing attack have prohibited the Hokies from completely ruling the ACC’s beefy Coastal Division. The Yellow Jackets and Tar Heels have become obvious topics of concern for the program. “Losing games in our division is something we definitely have to put an end to. Losing those games hurts your chances more than other ones,” Hokies senior defensive tackle John Graves said during the weekend’s ACC football kickoff. Challenges from Georgia Tech and North Carolina don’t change the fact that among the ACC’s 12 teams, the Hokies are best positioned to win the 12 or 13 games generally needed to reach the BCS title game (this season in Miami). “We talk about a national championship a lot,” senior quarterback Tyrod Taylor said. “We’re careful, though, to stay focused on one game at a time. “But everyone in our program knows we are capable of winning a national championship, so it’s natural that we talk about it some.”

Mcdonald’s all-american scooter sherrill brought back many of yesterday’s stars to carson High school.

A weekend of nostalgia e tend to remember people how they were the last time we saw them. And for the curious fans who stormed the Carson gymnasium this weekend, they got to experience plenty of nostalgia, thanks to former West Rowan star and McDonald’s All-American Scooter Sherrill. Sherrill remembers playing in the Bobby Jackson All-Star Game when the former NBA star brought in some of Rowan County’s best players for a glorified pickup game at Livingstone. The place was packed every time. Bobby’s RONNIE disappeared and GALLAGHER game Scooter saw an opportunity to continue it. Thus, the Throwback Alumni Basketball Tournament was born. It was a rousing success. And it was perfect timing. Legion baseball was over, and prep football hadn’t started yet. On Friday night, Carson’s gym was practically packed. “I’m not surprised,” Scooter said. “Growing up here, I’ve seen for years how everyone loves sports. Not just basketball, but football and baseball, Legion ... everything. Everybody supports everybody.” Scooter did seem surprised by the intensity level of the players. He shouldn’t have been. These games were more than just pickup, church league or Y league. These were played in front of rabid Rowan County fans reliving the past. And it was like the past for them, too. Suddenly, they were going back in time, playing in front of large crowds, being interviewed by the newspaper and hav-

At one point, while standing on the free-throw line, he was cajoled by someone in the bleachers. It was former West center Quincy Hall, who used to battle Dixon and Salisbury back in the mid-90s. “I’m glad you’re here,” Dixon kept yelling toward Hall. “I’m glad you’re here.” “They have a history,” Scooter smiled. “All in good fun,” Marvelous Marvin shrugged later. • Some of the more famous names in Rowan County basketball over the last 26 years showed.

ASHBURN, Va. — The music is gone. So are the Zshades. As well as the crazy sight of huge equipment pads being thrown at quarterbacks. For the purist, there’s something refreshing about watching a Washington Redskins practice under new coach Mike Shanahan. It’s SHANAHAN just football. No gimmicks. No fluff. Not even very many drills. Just lots and lots of plays. “A lot of the extra (stuff) is out of the way,” receiver Devin Thomas said. “It’s just pure football, back to the basics and do what we got to do.” And, after going 12-20 over two seasons under the quirky Jim Zorn, this might be just want the Redskins needed. “We need focus,” Thomas said. “We don’t need all that extra.” Three days into training camp, the spectators flocking to Redskins Park are seeing workouts that neither looks nor and sounds the same. It’s less like Chuck E. Cheese, more like C-SPAN. Zorn brought in Z-shades to give players a break from the sun, but the last eye-rolling straw might have come when he installed huge speakers to the field to play music during inseason workouts. “It actually was annoying sometimes,” defensive lineman Kedric Golston said. Golston said Shanahan wants a practice with no distractions. “He just wants football, football, football while we’re in this building,” Golston said. “He likes to have fun with the best of them, but while we’re on this field he just wants it to be football.” Shanahan puts the players through a long morning practice, lasting up to 21⁄2 hours. The players wear shoulder pads and shorts, which Shanahan considers to have the same effect as full pads — especially because players are told to hit without tackling. Much of the time is spent running 11-on-11 plays at a high tempo. “I’ve been very impressed by the way we practice. I couldn’t ask for anything more but for us to just go out there and run a ton of plays,” tight end Chris Cooley said Saturday. “It’s unbelievable how much of our offense we’ve installed being here in two days. We probably ran 100 plays out there today. There’s something that can’t make up for actually running the plays and seeing them work against the defense.

Langer wins U.S. Senior Open with 67 Associated Press

SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Bernhard Langer shot a final round 3-under 67 and took advantage of Fred Couples’ critical mistake to complete a daunting trans-Atlantic double and win the U.S. Senior Open championship Sunday. Coming off a victory at the Senior British Open last week at Carnoustie, Langer finished at 8 under for the tournament, fighting off jet lag and a partisan hometown crowd hoping Couples could pull out victory just 20 miles east of where he grew up. Just like a dozen years ago when the PGA Championship was played at Sahalee Country Club, it wasn’t to be for Couples. Tied with Langer starting the day, Couples birdied the first hole before he made triple bogey on the par-5 sec-

Tangled relationship at center of case Pitino in exchange for keeping quiet about the encounter. Although Pitino is finished testifying, the trial continues today. Karen Sypher has pleaded not guilty. Jurors were told that Pitino, a married father of five, and Karen Sypher had sex on July 31, 2003, after all other patrons and even the owner had left Porcini, one of the coach’s favorite places to eat. The two had met only a few hours earlier. Pitino said the encounter was consensual and lasted about “15 seconds.” Karen Sypher would claim she was raped — but not until years after that night. Police said the claims were meritless. Pitino has denied the rape allegations and said they

made him “sick to my stomach.” He testified that the whole ordeal left him physically and mentally worn out, unable to sleep as his team made what would be a successful push for the Big East conference championship. The coach feared his wife and children would find out and waited two months to tell the police about the threatening phone calls and letters he received to try and “contain” the information. Ultimately, he would tell his family about the affair — which he said was the most painful thing of all. He knew what a media storm it would cause and ultimately advised his son, Richard Pitino, who had been working for him, to take a job elsewhere.

I don’t want our players backing down from that. “The perception of our program has gone way up during the last 10 or 15 years. But once we win a national championship, it’ll be a whole new element.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The tangled relationship among Rick Pitino, his personal assistant and the assistant’s wife was thrown back into public view during the woman’s extortion trial this week. Testimony from the Louisville coach and the assistant, Tim Sypher, marked the first time either had spoken at length about the tryst that tarnished Pitino’s reputation.

Panthers search for new Peppers

GALLAGHER FROM 1B years, and everyone gawked at Sifford, now playing in Spain. No longer the long, lanky defensive whiz, Sifford is 6-foot-5, 215 pounds of pure muscle. But the fans were doing a double-take when they saw East’s Alstin and Justin Vanderford walk in. Those two former Rowan County players of the year have been hitting the weights. Alstin had the arms of Rocky Balboa. • Then again, some things never change. Davie coach Mike Absher watched East’s Spenser Davis slide through for a couple of layups. “He’s still Spenser,” laughed Absher, who watched enough of that when East was in Davie’s 4A league. “I was having flashbacks. They were still running Coach (Greg) McKenzie’s offense.” • Alstin had the quote of the tournament, showing these players do have a sense of humor. After East was squashed by West, he told the Post, “It looked like (West) has been playing ball and we’ve been playing beer-pong.” • Also making appearances in the gym were familiar faces home from summer school: Virginia’s K.P. Parks and Arkansas’ Chris Smith. • Seeing Marvin and North’s Ed Suber and Jimmy Kesler in the building brought back memories of 2003. Remember the Salisbury Steaks? Ugh. That was a short-lived venture. Some guy named John Jordan appeared out of nowhere and told us about the CBL, a minor-league that was going to bring good basketball here. “Steaks. I dunno. Are we gonna have gravy dripping off our sleeves or something?” Suber asked then. The Steaks won their first

Seven years later, point guard Suber still zooms up and down the court, showing flashes of why he was an NAIA All-American. • Scooter made sure the kids were taken care of. He honored the 13-year-old Phenoms AAU team. He had a DJ set up in the corner. And this tournament will only get better. “We’re looking to grow and add something every year,” he said. Scooter also said he has been invited back to Carson in 2011. It’s the largest gym in the county (1,600 capacity) and he may need every available seat. His wife, a Washington Redskins cheerleader, wants to bring that group. NFL cheerleaders? Better get those advance tickets ready, Scooter. • On another basketball note, some weren’t happy that Chris McNeil got the girls coaching job at Salisbury. Not because of McNeil, but because he’s an assistant principal. And doesn’t NCHSAA rules prohibit assistant principals from coaching? No, according to county AD Walter Hart. He writes, “The NCHSAA

was contacted prior to the decision to ensure that it was acceptable. “Coaches serve at the discretion of the principal, therefore a principal may allow or choose not to allow an assistant principal to serve as a coach.” There you have it. And by the way, McNeil’s going to do a great job. • And finally ... Enough of basketball, already. Starting today, high school football takes centerstage.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — When the remaining individual game tickets for the Carolina Panthers went on sale Saturday, the return of Julius Peppers with the Chicago Bears was the only one to immediately sell out. Finding a replacement for Peppers and retooling the defensive line are going to take much longer. Not only did the five-time Pro Bowl pick and franchise sacks leader walk away in free agency in the offseason, the Panthers released three defensive tackles who have started over the past two seasons. Tyler Brayton is the only starter back, and at age 30, he’s the oldest defensive lineman on the roster by four years. “It’s like been overnight. I’ve gone from being normal-aged to now I’m the old vet,” Brayton said Sunday. “Coaches are looking to me for a little more leadership out there, being the oldest guy. I’m looking to embrace that role. I haven’t figured out quite how I’m going to do it yet.” Defensive line coach Brian Baker is experimenting with numerous combinations without the freakishly athletic Peppers to demand double teams and line up in different spots on the line. The messy way Peppers left town after being forced to stick around in 2009 because of the franchise tag remains a touchy subject. “I’m going to cut your question off. No reaction,” Baker said when asked how players have responded to being without Peppers. “The guys that knew Pep, including me, miss

REDSKINS FROM 1B “I know that a lot of teams work on individual drills and tackling drills and all kinds of things, but we’re pros and we should be at the point where we can just run plays, and I think this is the best way for us to mesh as a team.” Shanahan did the standard 1-on-1 and 2on-2 drills during the non-contact spring practices, but he said he’s not using them now because he has found they often lead to injuries. Concern about injuries is also the reason Shanahan has only one full practice per day. The afternoon session is a walkthrough, more of a mental exercise in which the players get a look at schemes used by other teams.

him as a man because he was kind of, believe it or not, fun to be around and you enjoyed his presence.” Despite dogged criticism that he took plays off, Peppers had 101/2 sacks last season and 81 in his eight years in Carolina. “It’s just going to mean each one of the four of us is going to have to step it up a little bit more,” Brayton said. “When you don’t have that one so-called superstar out there, it just takes more of a group effort. I loved playing with Pep. He was a hardworking, down-to-earth guy and he just loved to get after it, so he’s going to be missed. But at the same time we’ve got to move on.” While Brayton appears secure at left defensive end, Charles Johnson and Everette Brown are competing for Peppers’ old spot along with surprising rookie Greg Hardy and Hilee Taylor. After Damione Lewis and Maake Kemoeatu were released and Hollis Thomas wasn’t re-signed, there’s a logjam of defensive tackles jockeying for jobs led by Tank Tyler, Ed Johnson, Louis Leonard, Nick Hayden and Corvey Irvin. “If you wanted to make me name who the starting tackles are going to be, I truly couldn’t do it right now,” Baker said. “I don’t know who’s going to be on the 53 (regular-season roster) at this point. “That’s good and bad. You like to know how your guys are going to be, but the good thing is there are a lot of guys who are good enough to start.” Injuries have further complicated things. Johnson started training camp with the first team at end, strained his hamstring in the first practice and was sidelined until returning Sunday.

Shanahan said he would “lose a bunch of players” if he had full two-a-days, something that might have been OK when the training camp rosters had 90-plus players. Now teams are limited to 80. “I don’t think I have to have a second practice to just kill them every day,” Shanahan said. “To schedule two practices, in my opinion, and go at the speed we go, all I would be doing is tearing guys down.” Note: WR Malcolm Kelly was held out of practice with a slight hamstring pull. He hurt the hamstring while working out with QB Donovan McNabb in Arizona, and it got worse after two days of training camp. Kelly has been working with the second-team unit but hopes to compete for a starting job. “Any time you miss reps, you’re giving somebody a chance to win a position,” Shanahan said.

Drivers react to Roush’s crash Communities In Schools of Rowan County Associated Press

The NASCAR notebook ... LONG POND, Pa. — Jeff Burton hopes NASCAR team owner Jack Roush doesn’t stop flying. Roush is recovering from facial injuries sustained in a plane crash last week in Wisconsin. The aviation buff was at the controls of the business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing when the plane crashed while attempting to land. “Obviously, he has a passion for racing, but I think when he is flying, he’s the driver,” said Burton, a driver for Richard Childress Racing who once raced for Roush. “I certainly hope he continues flying.” Roush had another close call eight years ago, when he crashed into a lake in Alabama and nearly drowned before being rescued by an ex-Marine who lived nearby. “It does make you think about your vulnerability and what we do as far as flying,” Burton said. “We fly a lot and it is dangerous. Jack’s a very, very, very good pilot.” News of the accident also made Kyle Busch recall the fear of flying of his fiance, Samantha Sarcinella. Busch said he was thankful that Roush survived. “I don’t if this is his second or third time, but he’s made it through,” Busch said. “A couple of people this week were mentioning that he needs to go to Vegas and try his luck there because he has some pretty good luck.” • SUN POWER: Brian Vickers says he’s doing well as he receives treatments for blood clots that have kept him off the track since May. He’s out for the season. “Everything is great,” Vickers told The

BIFFLE FROM 1B to-back seasons. “The whole company needed it,” Biffle crew chief Greg Erwin said. “I can’t really explain what this means. I know (Roush) is with us. This is a brand new car at Indianapolis and we brought it here because we liked it so much.” Sadler and Bush were the beneficiaries of NASCAR’s safer Car of Tomorrow after two violent wrecks. Sadler was forced to lay down on the triangle track and suffered a sore chest and stomach after smacking the inside wall. The engine on his No. 19 Ford was ripped from the body and smoldered nearby. He called it his hardest hit

Associated Press in a phone interview Friday. “I’m doing very well. I hope to get back in the car next year.” He wasn’t at Pocono Raceway, where the Sprint Cup series stopped Sunday for a 500-mile race, though he was impressed with the new solar energy system formally unveiled this weekend. The 25-acre installation across the street from the Pocono track may be the world’s largest solar-powered sports facility, providing enough energy for the track as well as 1,000 homes. Vickers said he hopes Pocono’s $16 million solar farm makes fans aware of the environmental initiatives in a sport that burns about 135,000 gallons of fuel per Sprint Cup series. “Most important is that yes, NASCAR is going to do a lot more things, such as what Pocono is doing on the solar farm, but a lot of times, people forget what they’ve already done,” Vickers said. • TV DEAL: ARCA has extended its TV deal with the Speed channel for 2011. As with this season, 10 ARCA races will be televised by the cable network next year, either live or on same-day tape. Speed has shown ARCA races since 1997. It’s the earliest that two sides have been able to finalize an extension annoucement, ARCA president Ron Drager said Saturday. The 2010 schedule has 20 events running on 17 tracks. “It gives us some good news at a time when there’s not much good economic news going on out there,” Drager said. “We think it’s a significant amount for us to have 10 events televised on Speed. Above and beyond that, we’re always looking for exposure.”

ever in a race car. It came a day after he was the Trucks Series race winner here. Busch’s No. 2 Dodge was hit from behind on a bump drafting attempt by four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson. Busch slammed into the wall, skidded along the grass, and smashed into an infield barrier. That brought out the first red flag, for 28 minutes, 46 seconds. The second one was for rain and lasted 17:20. The start of the race was delayed 36 minutes by rain. Biffle was one of the harshest critics of the track in a recent Sports Illustrated story, saying “they’re going to kill somebody there.” Track officials have promised changes — like adding more SAFER barriers along

the inside wall — in time for next year’s races. The track was deemed by some unsafe after an accident in the June race involving Kasey Kahne Jeff Gordon, who was sixth, slammed the track and said improvements can’t come soon enough. “I think there’s a time when we’ve got to step up the technology safety at certain facilities,” Gordon said. “We’ve seen two incidences here this year, and I think it’s going to be a wake-up call for some improvement.” Biffle had little to complain about on Sunday. He’d muddled through the season without a win and only three topfives. He’s made the Chase the last two years and was series runner-up in 2005. Before Indianapolis, he finished 16th, 20th and 35th.

Howard injures ankle

Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — James Shields worked into the eighth inning to outpitch CC Sabathia, prolong Alex Rodriguez’s quest for his 600th homer and help Tampa Bay beat the New York Yankees 3-0 on Sunday. Carl Crawford and Kelly Shoppach drove in runs for the Rays, who took two of three games during a matchup between the teams with the top two records in baseball. The Yankees intended for Rodriguez to take a day off. But with Shields (10-9) sailing along with a three-run lead in the seventh, manager Joe Girardi inserted the slugger as a pinch-hitter with a runner on and two outs. Rodriguez took a third called strike. He remained in the game at third base, but didn’t get to the plate again. Rodriguez went 0-for-8 in the series and is 9 for 38 (.237) with eight RBIs in 10 games since hitting No. 599. His next chance at the milestone comes Monday night at home against Toronto. Angels 4, Rangers 1 ANAHEIM, Calif. — Jered Weaver outpitched Cliff Lee with seven sharp innings in a matchup of the AL’s strikeout and ERA leaders, and Los Angeles beat Texas to win two of three in their weekend series. The Rangers’ lead in the AL West was shaved to eight games by the three-time defending division champs, who avoided falling at least 10 games out of first place for the first time since the end of the 2003 season. Twins 4, Mariners 0 MINNEAPOLIS — Francisco Liriano matched a season high with 11 strikeouts, Jason Kubel snapped out of a slump with a three-run double. Playing without sluggers Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, the Twins won their eighth straight and completed a three-game sweep.

Red Sox 4, Tigers 3 BOSTON — Pinch-runner Darnell McDonald scored the winning run when Marco Scutaro’s bunt single was thrown away by pitcher Robbie Weinhardt.

Braves strand 11 in frustrating setback Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard left Sunday’s game against Washington with a sprained left ankle. Howard was injured as he scrambled back to second base after a throw from Nationals right fielder Michael Morse. Howard had to be helped off the field by manager Charlie Manuel and a team trainer. Howard, who had sat out his first game of the season on Saturday night, is in an 0-for-14 slump. He reached base when he was hit by a pitch on his right elbow from Washington starter John Lannan. X-rays were taken on both his ankle and elbow. Both were negative. The Phillies have two starters — second baseman Chase Utley (sprained right thumb) and center fielder Shane Victorino (abdominal strain) on the disabled list.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

CINCINNATI (AP) — Brandon Phillips hit a tying triple with two out in the fifth inning and scored the tiebreaking run on shortstop Alex Gonzalez’s error, helping the Cincinnati Reds beat the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Sunday in the rubber game of the weekend series. Ramon Hernandez was on first when Phillips lifted a fly ball down the right-field line that eluded a diving Jason Heyward and bounced into the corner. Orlando Cabrera followed with a routine grounder to Gon-

zalez, but the former Reds infielder dropped the ball, and Phillips scored while Cabrera easily beat the throw to first. The NL East-leading Braves have lost three of four and went 3-6 on their 10-day trip, earning one win at each stop. Stranding 11 runners, they wasted a solid outing by Tommy Hanson (8-8). Diamondbacks 14, Mets 1 — Adam NEW YORK LaRoche hit a pair of three-run homers and rookie pitcher Daniel Hudson made a memorable debut for Arizona. Phillies 6, Nationals 4 (11) WASHINGTON — Placido

Polanco and Jayson Werth each drove in a run in the 11th inning, helping Philadelphia avoid the sweep. Padres 5, Marlins 4 SAN DIEGO — Jerry Hairston Jr. hit a two-run double with two outs in the sixth inning to chase Florida ace Josh Johnson. Cardinals 9, Pirates 1 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer and Adam Wainwright stayed unbeaten at home with seven strong innings for the Cardinals. Rockies 8, Cubs 7 DENVER — Jorge De La

Rosa pitched into the seventh inning to earn his first win in three months. Astros 5, Brewers 2 HOUSTON — Pinch-hitter Jason Michaels connected for a grand slam in the seventh inning and Houston completed the three-game sweep. Giants 2, Dodgers 0 SAN FRANCISCO — Matt Cain pitched four-hit ball into the eighth inning for the surging San Francisco Giants, earning his first career win against the Los Angeles Dodgers . Edgar Renteria hit a two-run triple in the sixth.

The property offered pursuant to this Notice is being offered for sale, transfer, and conveyance AS IS, WHERE IS. Neither the Trustee nor the holder of the indebtedness secured by the deed of trust, security agreement, or both, being foreclosed, nor their officers, directors, attorneys, representatives, employees, or agents make any representation or warranty relating to the title or any physical, health, environmental, or safety conditions existing in, on, at, or relating to said property, and any liability or responsibility arising out of or in any way relating to any such condition is expressly disclaimed. The Trustee may, in the Trustee's sole discretion, delay the sale for one hour as provided in North Carolina General Statutes ("Gen. Stat.") 45-21.23. At the sale, any bid must be at least $100.00 more than the immediately preceding bid.

Stat. 7A-308(a)(1) and 105 228.30 and any other tax or fee based upon the sale of the subject property or the sale price thereof.

The sale is subject to unpaid taxes, special assessments, restrictions and easements of record, and prior liens, if any. The sale will be held open ten (10) days for upset bids as required by law.

What loss of muscle tone means Wake up partner with an alarm clock



Dear Dr. Gott: I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. I had no pain but knew where every bathroom was located everywhere I went. This went on for many years, and I became fearful of traveling. Finally, my gastroenterologist put me on WelChol, developed for lowering cholesterol. Voila! My

cardiologist said I almost can’t overdose on it. I am presently taking two pills in the morning and another two in the evening. Now I am DR. PETER comfortable GOTT traveling around the world (pyramids, India, etc.) with no problems. This has been a life-changer for me. I hope you can share this with your readers and perhaps improve the quality of life of someone out there. It has been wonderful for me. Dear Reader: IBS is a malfunction of motility of the colon. Stress, medications, specific foods, caffeine, alcohol and gas contribute to symptoms that include abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhea/constipation. The medication you have been prescribed can cause identical symptoms. Colesevelam (WelChol) reduces the amount of cholesterol and specific fatty substances in the blood. It is sometimes prescribed with other cholesterol-lowering statin drugs toward this goal. This drug binds bile acids in the intestines to form a product that is ultimately released from the body. It is also prescribed for some type 2 diabetics to control blood-sugar levels. Drugs that have been manufactured and marketed for one purpose are often used for other, seemingly unrelated conditions and work well. My

guess is that the reduction of fatty substances in your colon curbed your diarrhea and related symptoms. Or you are less stressed, have modified your diet or medications, and have taken other steps without realizing the positive impact they have had. To provide related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Irritable Bowel Syndrome.”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 440920167. Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author “Live Longer, Live Better,” Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

There are times on defense when you see that the contract can be defeated if partner makes a particular play. However, you know he will never make that play, because it won’t occur to him. Is there any way to try to wake up partner? Sometimes. This deal is an example. You are West, defending against four spades. You lead the heart nine in answer to partner’s opening bid. East takes the first two tricks with the heart jack and heart ace, then continues with the heart queen. When declarer follows suit, what would you discard? South was nervous about his three low hearts. When West didn’t raise to two hearts, it became more likely that North also had three hearts. But a vulnerable-

Not a club. Declarer would win with his ace, draw trumps, and claim 10 tricks: six spades, three diamonds and one club. It also cannot be a diamond or a spade for the same reason. It must be a fourth heart, which would promote your spade jack as a trick. How, though, will partner ever find that play? He might if you pitch a discouraging club two, but much more effective ought to be the club king. This is called an alarm-clock signal, asking partner to make an unusual play. Note that from the bidding West cannot have the ace and king of clubs; and if he could, he would discard the ace, the game bonus is a vulnerable- top of touching honors when game bonus, so South leapt to he couldn’t win a trick. four spades when his suit was raised. What trick-four lead by East will definitely defeat four spades? R125991

Dear Dr. Gott: I am an 80year-old female and have never heard of a loss of muscle tone. Can you fill me in? Dear Reader: Muscle tone is what allows us to keep and maintain our bodies in certain positions. When you choose to make a particular movement, the brain sends a message to the specific muscle group involved to modify the resistance by, for example, shortening biceps muscles on the front of an arm while lengthening the triceps muscles on the back of the arm. In order to complete smooth, coordinated movement, all muscles being used must be balanced evenly. Everyone has muscles, but some people do specific exercises to improve their muscle tone. The results can be seen easily on bodybuilders and people who are physically active. Tone can be defined as the minute muscular contraction that exists in all skeletal muscles during relaxation. It is normal for people to lose about 1 percent of their lean muscle mass per year after the age of 40. Losing excess body fat, modifying the diet, and incorporating exercise into each day's activities can improve sagging skin.

Gabor to go home from hospital Friday

DENTURES

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Doctors plan to let Zsa Zsa Gabor return home Friday, about three weeks after the 93-yearold actress was hospitalized with a broken hip. Gabor’s publicist, John Blanchette, said Saturday that she would spend the rest of the week receiving physical therapy. Gabor’s husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, told Blanchette that the actress was joking with nurses but that she appeared depressed. He hoped the return home would restore her spirit.
