Rowan jury awards $2.3 million to jilted husband The case was settled Tuesday in Rowan Superior Court. According to the lawsuit, Angela Brewer McCoy and Freeman carried on an “adulterous affair which included meetings between the two and acts of sexual intercourse.” Angela McCoy left her husband one day shy of their 11th wedding anniversary, according to the lawsuit. Angela McCoy is a clerk at the Iredell County Clerk’s Office. Freeman worked at the Iredell County courthouse during the time of the affair.

SALISBURY — A jury has awarded a Statesville man $2.3 million in an alienation of affection lawsuit over claims an Iredell County deputy broke up his marriage. Michael J. Freeman of Mooresville was ordered to pay Brian Clark McCoy of Statesville after McCoy’s 11-year marriage ended. McCoy originally filed the suit in Iredell County in 2005, but was awarded a transfer to Rowan County last year.
Freeman knew Angela McCoy was married, the suit said. As a result of Freeman’s actions, “the genuine love and affection which previously existed between the plaintiff and her husband was alienated and destroyed,” court documents said. Alienation of affection is the claim that someone had a relationship with someone else’s spouse that led to a diminished affection in the marriage. Court documents also say Brian McCoy was deprived of the company and affections of his wife.
Freeman and Angela McCoy continued their affair even after the McCoys separated, the suit said. Brian McCoy through his attorney, Salisbury’s Robert Inge, sought punitive damages in excess of $10,000 for the intentional acts of alienating the affections of Angela McCoy. Punitive damages provide the plaintiff reparations because of the defendant’s reckless conduct. He also sought in excess of $10,000 in compensatory damages for alienation of affections. Compensatory damages provide

a plaintiff with the monetary amount necessary to replace what was lost. Brian McCoy additionally sought in excess of $10,000 for criminal conversation with Angela McCoy as well as punitive damages for criminal conversation. Criminal conversation lawsuits are filed against anyone who had an affair with a married person and the suit must prove sex occurred outside of the marriage. Jurors awarded Brian McCoy more than he was seeking.

EAST SPENCER — Benny Craig stared in disbelief Tuesday afternoon as he watched the home he rented to a couple just a week ago burn to the ground. “That house had been in the family for years,” he said. Corey Chadwick and his wife had been renting the 406 East Division Ave. home, Craig said. They moved in just a week ago. According to Fire Inspector J. Aaron Youngblood, a window air conditioning unit malfunctioned and caught fire at about 2 p.m. The flames spread to the homes attic. Craig said the Chadwicks did not have renters insurance, but he was glad no one was injured. “I’m glad nobody was hurt,” Craig said. “It’s been a good old house.” Chadwick and his wife were overcome by emotion at the scene, often just staring at the house they briefly called home. The couple declined to comment. Neighbor Reggie Wood said he could smell the smoke before nathan hardin/SAliSbury PoSt emergency services arrived. A window unit air conditioner sparked a blaze at 406 East Division Ave. in East Spencer. “You could see the smoke and smell it,” Wood said. An East Spencer firefighter overcome by the heat was treated and released, according to East Spencer Safety Captain Joseph Lineberry. Lineberry reported the firefighter as being in good condition. No one else was injured. Due to the fire’s size, East Spencer Fire Department activated a second alarm. East Spencer Fire Department was the first to respond. Other agencies involved include Spencer Fire, Miller’s Ferry Fire, Granite Quarry Fire, Salisbury Fire, South Corey Chadwick and his wife Salisbury Fire, Ellis Volunteer look at the damage done to their Fire, Rowan County Rescue and home.

Superintendents also named in defamation claim B Y S ARAH C AMPBELL scampbell@salisburypost.com
SALISBURY — A retired teacher has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Rowan-Salisbury Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. Judy Grissom and Assistant Superintendent Delores Morris. Kathy Watson, who worked in the district for a decade before retiring in July, claims the defendants’ actions caused her pain and suffering as well as lost wages. She is asking for in excess of $10,000 in damages. Watson said the suit stems from a letter written by teacher assistant Penny Hargett to Bostian Principal Lisa Sigmon in May GRISSOM 2010. “It is full of things that are just not true,” she told the Post in a phone interview Tuesday. The letter includes statements that Watson “never had adequate lessons plans for me to follow,” “many times students were given a prompt to write about during the hour with no guidance or help” and MORRIS “movies have been watched many times for her to work or catch up on grade level responsibilities lasting for two or three days of class instructions.” Watson said those statements are false. Watson received a letter from Morris on July 22, saying the letter would be placed in her personnel file in accordance with a state law that requires school systems maintain a personnel files for each teacher that contains any complaint, commendation or suggestion for correction or improvement about the teacher’s professional conduct. The general statute states the superintendent may elect not to place a letter of compliant in a the file if it contains invalid, irrelevant, outdated or false information.

Strong competition for seats on Granite Quarry board BY MARK WINEKA mwineka@salisburypost.com
GRANITE QUARRY — Three longtime incumbents face considerable competition this year to retain their seats on the Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen. William “Bill” Feather, Jake E. Fisher Jr. and Mary S. Ponds have a collective 32 years of experience on the board (since 1999) and again are seeking four-year terms. Five residents have stepped forward as challengers, including J. Robert Anderson, Michael Brinkley, Robert “Danny” Gay, Jim LaFevers and Baxter L. “Buddy” Miller III. Among those challengers, Brinkley and LaFevers have served on the board before.
[|xbIAHD y0 0 1rzu
The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen has five seats in all. The seats of Aldermen Eloise Peeler and Brad Kluttz are not up for election this year. Municipal elections in Rowan County will be held Nov. 8. Anderson, the first person to file this year for a Granite Quarry town board seat, is making his initial bid for public office. Retired, he worked for the town maintenance department for several years. He said in a previous interview he would like to bring some positive changes to the town. Brinkley served on the town board from 1991-2001. He runs W.F. Brinkley & Son Construction Co. Inc. Brinkley would like the town to review current spending and organ-

ization within town departments. He said he would work to protect the town’s fund balance and promote “some commercial development in those areas near the town which will help ease the tax burden on homeowners.” Brinkley said he would be receptive to citizens’ needs and concerns. He is a former chief and longtime member of the Granite Quarry Fire Department. Feather, presently mayor pro tem, was first elected to the board in 2003. He ran in the Republican primary for the Rowan County Board

of Commissioners in 2010, but did not win a party nomination. Fisher seeks his fourth consecutive term on the board after being elected in 1999. He also had served several terms in the 1970s. Gay has lived in Granite Quarry since 1997. “We’re going to have to lower taxes if people are going to keep their homes,” said Gay, a retired Veterans Administration employee. “Limit spending, like a family has to do on a daily basis. You have to balance the budget, and I don’t think that’s going on.”

In recent months, Gay has criticized the Brookwood Drive culvert project, where he lives. “The spending part of Brookwood was uncalled for, to be honest with you,” Gay said. “Money is being spent and is being wasted. I want to lower people’s taxes. I just think there’s a simpler way.” LaFevers served on the Board of Aldermen from 2001-2005, a period that included the land acquisition, engineering and construction of Granite Lake Park. “I would like to return to the Granite Quarry board to give the citizens as new voice,” said LaFevers, a retired construction manager for URS, an international engineering

Man ‘defends honor of girlfriend’ by pointing shotgun SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was arrested Saturday afternoon after deputies say he threatened a neighbor with a shotgun. According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, Jef- DAVIS fery Davis Jr., 3990 Statesville Blvd. Lot 6, pointed a 20-gauge shotgun at Vic-
tor Johnson after a dispute over fireworks about noon Saturday. Johnson told authorities Davis pointed the gun at him and said he would kill him “if he ever threatened his girlfriend.” When authorities questioned Davis about the incident, the report said he took the action “in order to defend the honor of his girlfriend.” Deputies seized the weapon and arrested Davis, charging him with assault by pointing a gun. He was given a $500 bond.
Couple charged after stealing Honda engine from parts lot SALISBURY — Authorities charged a Salisbury couple Sunday after deputies say they stole a Honda engine and transmission from a nearby automotive parts lot. According to a Rowan County Sheriff’s Office report, Charity Kiger, 26, and her boyfriend Jose Perez, 44, were arrested after authorities received complaints on July 14 from Roger Spillman that Honda parts had gone missing from his lot on two separate occasions. After an investigation, Sheriff’s Office deputies found the missing motor in a black Honda. According to the report, the missing transmission was also in the shop and was set to be installed, as well.

Man describes how his family was threatened, robbed at gunpoint BY NATHAN HARDIN nhardin@salisburypost.com
Scott Beaver said he will carry a gun with him every day for the rest of his life. Beaver watched helplessly July 21 as two armed gunmen bound his wife and grandson and pointed their weapons at the younger children, demanding that he open the safe inside his home. “It wasn’t the money, as much as the trauma,” he said. “It’s such a helpless feeling.” Beaver owns Beaver’s Honda Salvage on Deal Road in southern Rowan County, along with a car lot which is separated from his house by his driveway.
Beaver said at about 8 p.m. Thursday night, a car pulled into the driveway and asked for the price of one of Beaver’s for-sale vehicles. He said he quoted the price, then turned back to his children, who were swinging in the yard. The 63-year-old said he turned around when he heard the gate separating the driveway from the yard open. “There was nothing I could do,” he said. “I thought, ‘What in the world can I do?’ ” Beaver said the gunman pulled a handgun and demanded money. Beaver handed the man his wallet. “He said, ‘No, I want in the safe.’ ”
“I still get shook up talking about it. Even now (the kids) ask me, ‘Are any bad guys coming tonight?’ ” SCOTT BEAVER victim of armed robbery
Beaver said the gunman told everyone to get in the house, and at that time another gunman approached with a shotgun. “The kids were screaming, ‘Please don’t shoot us,’ ” he said. Beaver said the first gunman was tall, and the second was slightly shorter than average height. Beaver said the armed gunmen were black
and did not have their faces covered. Beaver said once they got in the house, the tall gunman held both guns while the other tied up his wife, Shirley, and 20-year-old grandson, Nick. Beaver’s twin 5-year-old daughters and his 3-year-old great-grandson were told to lie down. After seeing the gunman relax, Beaver dove at him,
causing the man to drop both weapons. Beaver said he wrestled with the man momentarily until the man regained control of the handgun, hitting Beaver in the face with the weapon. “I was convinced I was going to have to open the safe,” he said. Beaver said he was afraid the gunmen would hurt his children if he didn’t cooperate. “I still get shook up talking about it,” he said. “Even now they ask me, ‘Are any bad guys coming tonight?’ ” According to Beaver, the amount of money in the safe was an “undetermined amount.” Beaver said he kept money

Now Christina Anderson wants to give it a try

SALISBURY — A man that police say assaulted bystanders and jumped through a window on July 14 will not be charged. According to Salisbury Police, Nathaniel Setzer, 27, “experienced a mental breakdown over the loss of a loved one.” Setzer, 129 E. 11th St., was taken to Rowan Regional Medical Center on July 14 after police said he was “out of his mind.” The initial report said Setzer assaulted as many as three pedestrians and was shocked by police three times. Salisbury Police have clarified that Setzer reportedly was shocked six times in total, three with electric probes and he was dry stunned three additional times at the 100 block of East 11th Street. Salisbury Police Deputy Chief Steve Whitley said the information was given to District Attorney Brandy Cook. “Ms. Cook made the decision not to charge him,” Whitley said. “(Setzer) is receiving ongoing medical treatment.” Cook could not be reached for comment. Setzer said he couldn’t remember how many times he was shocked, but said he was sure it was more than six. “It was definitely more than three,” Set-

ALISBURY — Christina Anderson never planned to be a teacher. She also never planned to attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, study abroad at the University of Ghana and Cambridge University or conduct research in Brazil. But at 22, the West Rowan High School graduate has done all those things. Anderson said she probably would have stayed in Rowan County, worked at Food Lion and attended Rowan-Cabarrus Community College had English teachers Claire Rehkopk and Sherry Avery not encouraged her to do more. “They put me on a different life track,” she said. “I feel like those teachers opened me up to a life that I would have never known.” That’s why Anderson said she was drawn to work with Teach for America, a national nonprofit organization that works to eliminate educational inequity by sending top college graduates to urban and rural public schools. “I didn’t grow up wanting to be a teacher,” Anderson said “But I wanted to be that Claire Rehkopk for a student, that person who makes a difference in the lives of kids.” • • • Anderson is one of 5,200 new Teach for America Corps members who is receiving training this summer. She said more than 48,000 people applied for a slot in the program this year. When Anderson found out about the program from a recruiter earlier this year she decided to delay her plans to enter law school in favor of a two-year teaching stint. “I realize the impact that teachers have,” she said. Anderson said as a first-generation high school graduate who grew up in a single parent home she never expected to go to UNC. But Avery and Rehkopk didn’t allow her to settle. “(Mrs. Avery) initiated that spark in me,”
from his car lot in the safe temporarily until he made a bank deposit. “All the money I have, I’ve made legally,” he said. Beaver no longer keeps a safe in the home and he’s increased security at the house. He’s also moved the car lot to another location. Surveillance cameras documented the suspects as being in the home for 32 minutes. Beaver did not detail what the cameras recorded and did not say if he recognized the suspects. The suspects were driving a 1992 to 1995 gold Chevy Lumina, Beaver said. “I’ll never be without a gun again,” he said.

Exhibition coal mine offers view into bygone way of life B Y D AVID F REEZE For the Salisbury Post
ust two miles off I-77 in West Virginia is the Exhibition Coal Mine owned by the City of Beckley. The mine itself opened in 1889 as the PhillipsSprague Mine, but it did not ship coal commercially until 1906. The mine closed in 1953 and was purchased by the city and reopened as a historic attraction in 1962. This was the only national location solely intended to educate the public about coal mining. The mine and the surrounding buildings were renovated in 2007 and reopened in 2008, with 3,000 feet of mining track open. The Exhibition Coal Mine is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors have the opportunity to travel 1,500 feet below the ground in authentic “man cars,” once used to carry the miners to their daily work. The underground temperature is a constant 58 degrees. The cars follow the tracks underground and stop at several points of interest. The tour guide is always a veteran miner, and he provides a commentary of life in the 40inch-high mine. Each trip takes about 45 minutes and is full of fascinating facts. Rumors are that the mine closed due to high concentrations of methane gas, so demonstrations of air quality safety techniques get a lot of attention. Most interesting was the canary in the cage that went with early miners daily to their work areas. Methane gas and low oxygen pockets moved around in mines, especially before ventilation techniques became common. Mining was dangerous work, and demanded long hours of back-breaking toil. Early miners exploded pockets of coal with

Setzer attended a friend’s funeral within the past few days prior to the incident. According to Setzer, medical personnel told him this, and a potassium deficiency, may have led to his psychotic breakdown. Setzer said he remembers being shocked, but said he was trying to show him his hand, which had been cut open after he jumped through the window of an abandoned house. “I thought I was telling them, ‘Look at my hand,’ but they’re not even paying attention to my hand,” Setzer said. According to Setzer, he was walking home after running at a nearby park when he started feeling strange. “I was coming up Miller Street,” he said. “ I started pacing back and forth and hearing voices and nursery rhymes.” Setzer said he did not drink alcohol that day and that he hadn’t used any drugs. “Even the hospital thought I was on coke or something,” Setzer said. “I don’t mess with that stuff and I hadn’t drunk anything. It’s too hot to drink.” Setzer said he did not assault his wife, contrary to the initial police report. Goodman also said she was not assaulted. According to Setzer, he fought with police because he was still trying to flee from the group of pedestrians who had jumped him. I tried to apologize,” he said.

“I thought they were coming back,” he said. “I remember running through that glass and sitting in the back of that house looking at my hand.” Dr. Bertrand Fote, an emergency medicine doctor at Rowan Regional, said it’s common for people to have low potassium levels, but that it’s rare to have extremely low levels and that low potassium would not result in a psychotic breakdown. “It doesn’t cause psychotic breakdowns,” Fote said. “Not that I have seen.

NC House beats abortion rules veto, Senate next RALEIGH (AP) — Legislation placing additional restrictions on abortions moved within one step of becoming law after the Republican-led state House voted Tuesday to override Democratic Gov. Beverly Perdue’s veto. The House voted 72-47 in favor of legislation requiring a woman to have an ultrasound of the fetus, consider an offer to see the shape and hear a heartbeat in her uterus, receive state-mandated counseling, and wait 24 hours before an abortion. The Senate must also approve a veto override by a three-fifths majority before the abortion regulations would become law. That means 30 votes if all 50 senators are present. The bill was supported by 29 of the Senate’s 31 Republicans when it came up, with one GOP member opposed and one missing. North Carolina is one of 16 states that don’t require specialized counseling before an abortion. Half of all states require counseling, then a waiting period. Perdue said she rejected the abortion restrictions as a needless government intrusion into what doctors tell women who have decided on a difficult choice. She repeated that objection Tuesday. “The Republican’s social
agenda has, with this bill, invaded a woman’s life as never before — by marching straight into her doctor’s office and dictating the medical advice and treatment she receives,” she said in a statement. The new restrictions would keep abortions legal and make them safer than before by requiring doctors and clinics to have insurance and backup plans, said Rep. Ruth Samuelson, R-Mecklenburg. Abortions also would become rarer “because in the majority of other states where they already have some form of informed consent, women have changed their minds,” said Samuelson, one of the bill’s key advocates. “What is so dangerous about information?” House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said the information was slanted to increase the pressure on women. The legislation was intended “not to give choice but to push toward a particular choice,” he said. Democrats argued the restrictions were less about safety and full information than the Republican majority serving the political priorities of its supporters “Would we require a man to sit through intrusive, coercive counseling for a medical
procedure mandated by politicians who don’t trust them? Of course we would not,” said Rep. Alma Adams, D-Guilford. “I was created from the womb of my mother just like every person here and my gender should not determine whether I or not I can make a decision what I could do with my body.” The bill would prohibit an abortion unless a woman is provided with state-specified information about the physician at least 24 hours in advance. Women also would get information about the likely stage of development of the fetus, the medical risks of having an abortion and giving birth, and the availability of abortion alternatives. A woman would have to hear all of the details either in person or by telephone from a physician or nurse. The legislation also increases the risk of lawsuits for doctors who perform abortions. Doctors who fail to follow all the new regulations could be sued by range of people including a woman who received an abortion or was close to getting one, her spouse, parent, sibling, or guardian, or any of the woman’s current or former health care providers. The measure passed the House last month one vote
short of enough to override a veto but with support from three Democrats who also sided with the GOP to pass the state budget over Perdue’s veto. Rep. Jim Crawford, D-Granville, who also sided with Republicans on the budget and other override votes this week, cast the deciding vote on the abortion bill. He said Tuesday he’s opposed to abortion but “sort of strayed” by originally voting against the restrictions last month. Anti-abortion activists sitting in the House gallery clapped after the vote was announced. Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, gaveled them to silence, but soon arrived outside the gallery to hug North Carolina Right to Life president Barbara Holt. Holt and others who had sought abortion restrictions for decades in North Carolina had tears in their eyes as they embraced each other knowing that a legislative victory was now just one step away. “Oftentimes women regret their abortion because they have not received the information that’s due to them,” Holt said. North Carolinians “want mothers to have information. They understand that there are two lives.”

FROM 3A never said ‘no’ if I needed something.” Anderson said Rehkopk kept her on her toes when it came to her studies. “She held me at a higher standard,” Anderson said. “When people hold you to a higher standard, you realize they really care about you.” But Rehkopk said Anderson was always the driving force behind her success. “It was not a challenge to help her,” she said. “I felt really priviANDERSON leged to be part of it.” And Rehkopk said she wasn’t the only person who noticed Anderson’s potential. “Everybody saw something in her,” she said. “She was just an able communicator and always able to see things as they were. “I don’t think she understood the talent she possessed in terms of being able to see beyond the surface of things.” Rehkopk said she’s proud to see Anderson go on to work with Teach for America. “Teach for America, I belive, is an effort on her part to give back and I’m very impressed by that,” she said. “I’m also anxious for her to get back to her research and back to her graduate studies.” Rehkopk said she isn’t surprised Anderson was chosen for Teach for America. “(She) is exactly the role model that you need,” she said. “It is possible to go from being in as difficult a circumstance as you can imagine in terms of having to keep you head above water in a material sense while trying to achieve academically at the same time. “She not only did it, she did it as well or better than people with far more advantages than she had.” • • • When Anderson begins teaching middle school in the Charlotte region this fall, she hopes to provide her students with the encouragement Avery and Rehkopk gave her. “I want to help kids see opportunities outside of what they normally see,” she said. “I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to be superwoman, because I’m not. I just want to be a positive influence.” Anderson has already gotten a taste of what this fall will be like during a five-week training session in the Mississippi Delta. She taught U.S. History to students at Gentry High School. The summer school course was a second chance for students who failed during the year. “It was terrifying at first
student goals,” she said. “I think it is really important that you differentiate your lessons to make sure each student is learning.” And although Anderson wants to see each student succeed in the classroom, she also hopes to leave them
with hope for the future. “I want to equip my students with the tools to make their own decisions and not follow a cycle that has been passed down,” she said. Contact reporter Sarah Campbell at 704-797-7683.

because there I was with a group of students who need this class to graduate,” she said. “But after a few days, I got the hang of it.” A political science and history major while at UNC, Anderson said she wasn’t exactly ready to teach right out of school. But she said Teach for America has given her the skills and support she needs. Corps members receive more than 10 weeks of training during the summer and professional development on weekends throughout the year. Anderson said she’s ready to get into the classroom. “I want to take a realistic approach and individualize

NC couple appear briefly in court in woman’s death RALEIGH (AP) — A man and wife will be held without bond on murder charges in the death and dismemberment of the man’s ex-girlfriend, a judge in Raleigh ruled Tuesday as the remains of the victim were positively identified. Grant Hayes, 32, and Amanda Hayes, 39, of Raleigh are charged in the death of Laura Jean Ackerson, 27, of Kinston, who was the mother of Grant Hayes’ children. In addition to ordering that they be held without bond, District Court Judge Jacqueline Brewer said the public defender’s office would represent each of them unless they hire private attorneys. Grant Hayes, a musician who used the stage name Grant Haze, fathered Ackerman’s two sons, 3-year-old Grant Haze and 1-year-old Gentle Haze. He had been scheduled to appear in family
court next month because he and Ackerson had been involved in a custody dispute for more than a year. Parts of Ackerson’s body were found in a creek in Fort Bend County in Texas and were positively identified Tuesday, sheriff’s office spokesman Bob Haenel said. Divers didn’t find any more remains Tuesday and have finished searching the creek where they found her torso, a portion of her leg and her head, Haenel said. Her hands and feet haven’t been found. The divers “feel like they’ve done as much as they possibly can,” he said. “They’ve covered a lot of ground.” He wasn’t sure if searches are planned for the remaining body parts. Investigators also found two ice chests near the home of Amanda Hayes’ sister, who
lives in Richmond, located southwest of Houston and not far from the creek where the remains were found. The two ice chests appeared to have been cleaned, Haenel said. Three other ice chests were found with the two suspects in North Carolina. A machete that was also found near the home does not appear to have been used to cut up the body, he said. “The nature of the wounds would lead you to believe it was not done by a machete. We’re not sure if it was used in any way for the crime,” Haenel said. “There was no blood. It had been cleaned when we got our hands on it.” Investigators also found a small boat which is believed to have been used to dump the remains, Haenel said. It was not immediately known who owns the boat. Haenel said investigators
believe the two suspects rented a U-Haul truck that was used to transport the body about 1,000 miles and across several states from North Carolina to Texas. The truck was recovered in the Houston suburb of Katy, located about 20 miles from where the remains were found. Jason Ackerson, the victim’s brother, attended the first appearance hearing Tuesday but declined to comment. A probable cause hearing is scheduled Aug. 16 for both Grant and Amanda Hayes. Authorities believe Ackerson was killed in Wake County on July 13, the same day she dropped off her two children with Grant Hayes. Kinston police say a business partner reported her missing July 18, and her car was found July 20 in Raleigh.

Coast Guard rescues man and woman from Albemarle Sound after sailboat capsized
RALEIGH (AP) — A top aide to North Carolina’s former governor is heading to Florida to begin serving a yearlong sentence for federal income tax evasion. WRAL-TV reports that 39year-old Ruffin Poole is to begin his one-year and one-day sentence in Pensacola, Fla., on Wednesday, one day later than originally scheduled because his plane had mechanical problems. Poole pleaded guilty last
RALEIGH (AP) — The N.C. Department of Transportation awarded a $216 million contract Tuesday for the design and construction of a new span across Oregon Inlet to replace the aging Bonner Bridge. The existing 2.7-mile-long bridge connects Hatteras Island to the mainland. It was built in 1962 and has exceeded its expected lifespan. The new contract comes after more than two decades of debate and environmental studies. “We’ve spent 20 years working hard to make a new bridge a reality, and it’s exciting to reach this step in the process,” said Gene Conti, the state’s transportation secretary. “We look forward to starting construction on this criti-

cation traffic headed to the Outer Banks. DOT has spent $26.5 million in the last 10 years on the old bridge to fix deterioration caused by constant exposure to salt, strong currents and wind. Conti awarded the contract to PCL Civil Constructors Inc. and HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas. The companies’ bid was the cheapest of the three firms competing for the contract, but it also received the lowest technical score from the state officials who reviewed the proposals.

The charge stemmed from a $30,000 coastal investment Poole made and failed to report in 2005. It was disclosed during a two-year federal investigation into former Gov. Mike Easley’s dealings with friends and campaign contributors while in office. Authorities said Poole was known as “Little Governor” because he resolved problems reported by donors.

PLYMOUTH (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard has rescued a man and woman from Albemarle Sound after the 12-foot sailboat they were on capsized. A statement from the Coast Guard said it was notified by the couple’s neighbor after the two had gone boating at around 4 p.m. Monday and hadn’t returned before storms reached the area. A Coast Guard helicopter crew from Air Station Elizabeth City found the couple in the middle of the sound at approximately 1:54 a.m. Tuesday. The woman was hoisted from the water by the helicopter crew. A rescue boat crew from Elizabeth City assisted the man in righting the sailboat before towing it to a boat ramp. Neither the man nor the woman was injured.

I
grew up eating vegetables. Not soaked in grease or topped with cheese or stewed beyond all recognition. Plain and simple vegetables. I probably, scratch that, definitely didn’t appreciate it then, but as an adult, and responsible eater, I’m thankful I know what a beet looks like, exactly how to eat an artichoke, and the sweet woody taste of crunchy fresh asparagus. This vegetable eating was perfectly normal until I was old enough to stay over for dinner at my friends’ homes and noticed the EMILY lack of green WILDER or crunchy on their dinner plates. These same kids, now adults and set in their ways, tell me they don’t know what romaine is, or turn up their nose at the mere mention of kale. I consider that a shame since I think they are truly missing one of the best parts of food. But more than that, I wonder what they are eating, how they could possibly be healthy, and finally how to sneak some veggie in their otherwise plant-free diet. Whether by habit, lack of exposure, or true dislike, if you happen to have a picky eater at your table, it’s important to not lose the vitamins and minerals found in those cruciferous ingredients. Have you ever found yourself wondering how to sneak some extra green on the plate? This practice of hiding vegetables seemed a little counterproductive to me. I want children to appreciate vegetables for the delicious taste, and adults to appreciate vegetables for the nutritional benefit (and taste, too, of course). After researching stealthy ingredient recipes, I quickly realized that I could just as easily benefit from adding vegetable servings into my day whenever possible. After all, can you really have too much of a good thing? There are several cooks and books that cover this topic: Jessica Seinfeld’s Deceptively Delicious and The Sneaky Chef (www.thesneakychef.com) are two popular ones. Here are a few of my favorite ways to add vegetables in unlikely places.
Cauliflower: This white vegetable has a bland appearance and mild flavor, so it is easy to cover up with betterloved ingredients. Cauliflower is high in dietary fiber, vitamin C and folate.
Secret Ingredient Mashed Potatoes 4-6 small Yukon Gold or white potatoes, peeled and cubed ½ head of cauliflower, cut into small florets ¼ c milk 1 T olive oil-based mayonnaise Garlic powder, salt, pepper to taste Boil cubed potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Steam florets until very tender, 8-10 minutes. Drain both and combine with milk, mayonnaise, and spices. Using a potato masher or mixer, mash all ingredients together and mix well before serving.

Preheat oven to 400. Boil pasta according to directions on box, drain, and meanwhile, steam cauliflower until just tender (about 8 minutes). Loosely mix pasta and cauliflower in a bowl and fold in ¾ cup cheese, yogurt, flour and spices. Stir well. Coat a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and transfer mix to the dish. Top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs and remaining cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and top is golden and crispy, using broiler if necessary. Carrots: That Bugs Bunny knew what he was talking about! Carrots are rich in antioxidants, beta carotene, calcium and potassium, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E. The naturally sweet flavor will enhance the taste of the following recipe by cutting the acidity of the tomatoes.
Vegetarian Spaghetti Sauce 1 sweet yellow onion, finely diced or grated 1-2 medium carrots, finely diced or grated 2 cloves of garlic, minced 1 T extra virgin olive oil 2-3 cans of crushed tomatoes ½ c water (or more if you want thinner sauce) 2 T basil (fresh or dried) 1 T oregano 1 t rosemary 1 t salt 1 t pepper Heat oil in deep pan on medium-high. Add onion, carrot, and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add tomatoes, water, and spices, mix well. Reduce heat and simmer for at least 15 minutes, adding water if needed to reach desired consistency. Zucchini: As a vegetable that always seems to be in
Brown turkey figs are available at many vendors this week at the Salisbury Farmers Market. Dawn Bartlett at Dawn’s Greenhouse says the figs are heavy on the trees. Blueberries, watermelons and peaches are also plentiful. Cantaloupes are less plentiful than in years past, but Correll Farm has some exotic melons. The market is full of color. A bouquet of fresh flowers to bring the colors of summer inside is rivaled by the beautiful reds, greens and orange of tomatoes, the green of fresh-picked corn, green beans and okra. All the summer favorites are all available in quantity. A feast for the eyes inspires the creativity of the local home chefs. Stuff an eggplant or squash. Make a gratin from tomatoes and onions or a pasta dish with a sauté of fresh vegetables. Wild Turkey Farm had freshly packaged, local, pasture-raised lamb last week. Contact them to see if your favorite lamb cut is available or reserve one for the next packing. T&D Charolais Beef and Wild Turkey Farms both have pasture-fed beef and pork. Fresh pasture-fed chicken is a week or two off for both. Domisty from Wild Turkey Farm reminded me that hot dogs are available. Their popular pepperoni and salami will be available in a couple of weeks. All meat found at the market is hormone-free and locally raised. Our three bakers, The Bread Basket, Carla Anne’s Cookies and How Sweet It Is!, provide an amazing variety of baked goods. All three offer sugar-free treats. All three offer sweets and savories including loaf breads, rolls and sweet breads. Emma Martin from The Bread Basket is offering gluten- free products. Her gluten-free carrot cupcakes are moistened with a hint of pineapple. This makes her gluten-free treat a step ahead of normal, drier gluten-free products. Carla from Carla Anne’s Cookies is making pimento cheese, as is McCombs. Each one has its own flavor and is a good treat for a light lunch or snack. Saturday at 9 a.m., the Rowan County Master Gardeners will host the annual blind Tomato Tasting. Will Cherokee Purple win again or is there another tomato that has appeared at the market this season that will present a challenge to the local favorite? The Farmers Market is located in downtown Salisbury at the corner of South Main Street and Bank Street. Visit the Farmers Market on Wednesday from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. until noon.

Remove the squash and cool until you can touch it comfortably. Using a fork, gently scrape the inside of the squash from one end to the other, loosening the spaghetti-like flesh. Transfer a serving to each plate, top with sauce, add prepared meatballs. Garnish with a bit of Parmesan cheese. Green Peas: A lighter take on traditional guacamole, green peas offer vitamin K and folic acid.

Cold fruit sounds good in the summer heat MARTHA MINCEY Master Gardener Volunteer
Farmers were set up under the shade of a huge tree which was delightful for both the farmers and customers with the temperature in the 95+ degree heat. It was amazing to see how relaxed everyone was in the shade. Tables loaded with fresh vegetables and fruit just waiting to be purchased for canning, freezing or eating. One only needs a little imagination and creativity to prepare a delicious meal either inside or outside on the grill. Corn, green beans, tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, Vidalia onions, cucumbers, peppers and potatoes were available. Not all vegetables need to be cooked for a wonderful meal or snack. Imagine a cucumber or Vidalia onion sandwich. A salad with tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, cucumbers, onions and peppers is delicious. Sliced cucumbers and onions in a mixture of vinegar and water to taste is a great addition to a meal and will last several days in the fridge. Peaches were just right for eating or making homemade peach ice cream. Peeling, slicing and putting peaches into the freezer make a delightful cool treat when partially thawed and added to a scope of vanilla ice cream. How about a spoon of Renn Honey on top of those peaches and ice cream? Sweet Pickle Bakery and Deli offered pimento cheese, chicken salad, potato salad, a variety of loaf breads, creme horns and creme filled oatmeal cookies. Imagine how delicious a Vidalia onion whole wheat sandwich would be. Come to the China Grove Farmer’s Market at the China Grove Roller Mill Museum each Friday from 4-7 p.m. Put your imagination to work for wonderful easy summer meals and nutritional snacks.

In nearly all situations, it’s cheaper to repair than replace Today’s first reader tip reminds me of a very important financial principle: In nearly all situations, it’s cheaper to repair than to replace. That’s a principle that we’ve allowed to be forgotten in a time when electronics and appliances are constantly improving. When the TV goes out, we just assume it’s better to buy a new one because the newer models are so much better than MARY our old piece of HUNT junk. Or when the icemaker quits making ice, it must be time to get a new refrigerator. Well, not so fast, Buckaroo. There may be an easier and cheaper way.
Remove and thaw. When our 11year-old icemaker stopped working, I wondered if it was worth replacing since the fridge is getting old and a repairman would charge at least $250. It was still going to be $100 if we replaced it ourselves. Prior to doing anything, we took the icemaker out of the freezer to let it thaw out before ordering and replacing the motor. We decided to reinstall it, and it’s been working fine ever since. We do have to check the bar to make sure it goes down all the way, so now I do that every time I open the door. — Jodi,
Vinegar hair rinse. For 60 years, I’ve been using vinegar as a hair rinse after shampooing. I pour some vinegar in a glass, fill with water and then apply it to my hair after rinsing out the shampoo. I rub the vinegar into my hair and then rinse again with plain water. My hair is soft, and the vinegar gets rid of any soap residue that may remain. — Anne,

OxiClean liquid trumps powder. I tried the tip about cleaning grout with a paste made of OxiClean powder. It cleans great, but the mess of making the paste, applying it only to the grout and then cleaning the floor of the gritty mess was a pain. I experimented with other cleaners, but the OxiClean paste still worked the best at cleaning grout. While shopping one day, I found a liquid version of OxiClean. It comes in a spray bottle, and it

turning once. Switch the oven to broil and watch carefully as “fries� begin to get crispy and brown. Remove promptly and serve with a side of ketchup.
FROM 8A Gently fold in tomatoes. Serve as a dip with corn chips, or as a topping for tacos. Avocado: Avocados are a nutrient-dense food because they are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins K and E, folate, potassium, and lutein. My favorite of the sneaky recipes, it sounds strange at first, since we are most familiar with avocados as guacamole or in savory dishes, but give it a try. I was skeptical at first, but trust me. Another dessert you can feel good about and it’s also vegan and gluten free.
Chocolate Pudding with Avocado 1 ripe avocado, peeled and cut into slices 2 T cocoa powder 2 T agave or honey* 1 â „4 c soy or almond milk (regular milk if preferred) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Tiny pinch of cinnamon Combine all ingredients and mix or blend until creamy and no large lumps remain. Chill for 20-30 minutes and serve! Great for dipping strawberries and other fruit. *I prefer a dark chocolate taste, but if you like sweeter, milk-chocolate flavor, increase the sweetener to 3 T. Sweet Potato: These tubers are the source of abundant beta-carotene and will store for up to two weeks in a cool dry location. In the first recipe, the vegetable is not hidden so much as presented in a familiar way that everyone loves!
Baked Sweet Potato “Friesâ€? 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into strips, length-wise 2 T extra virgin olive oil 1 T cinnamon 1 ½ t garlic powder 1 ½ t pepper 1 t coarse salt Pre-heat oven to 400.

though. In cognitive-behavioral therapy, people heal through very gradual exposure to the things that frighten them. A professional counselor could set you on a therapeutic course. Here are my amateur suggestions: Don’t drink alcohol before bed. This will actually interrupt your sleep — and being inebriated will feed your imagination. Keep a diary next to your bed. Write down what you’re thinking about and how you’re feeling. Is your heart racing, etc.? You might be able to rewrite your script by deliberately substituting comic images for frightening ones. With a nod to an idea borrowed from a great non-horror movie, “Ghostbusters,� can you imagine Scooby-Doo rescuing you from Freddy Krueger?

We don’t know any of her family or friends, and while I wish her well and would like to see her get married, we really don’t feel comfortable going to the wedding or reception.

Spinach: Somewhat of a powerhouse when it comes to leafy greens, one cup of cooked spinach has 377 percent of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, in addition to being an excellent source for iron, calcium, vitamin C and fiber. This recipe from Jessica Seinfield is a classic example of hiding extra vegetable servings in common meals. You can check out Deceptively Delicious at the Rowan County Public Library.
Chicken Nuggets
In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, and oil. Stir in the pancake mix and spices, do not over mix. Fold in the sweet potato. If the batter seems too thick, add more milk until it reaches the desired consistency (it should be thick but still pourable). Heat a large flat pan over medium-high heat and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon 3-5 T of batter into piles and allow to flatten. Cook until bubbly throughout, 3-5 minutes, and then flip to cook the other side until golden, 1-2 more minutes. Serve with syrup, jam, or just warm butter! *Choose a healthy, whole grain pancake mix with real,

Sheryl Crow auctioning off car to aid Joplin SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) — Some winning bidder will soon be cruising life’s winding road in Sheryl Crow’s 1959 Mercedes-Benz 190SL Roadster. The Grammy award-winning singer said Monday that she’s auctioning off the classic car next month and that the proceeds will go toward helping rebuild the tornadoravaged city of Joplin in her native state of Missouri. Crow says she loves the car and has had it for six years, but doesn’t drive it anymore. The Springfield News-
Leader reports that Crow hopes the car will fetch up to $500,000 at the Aug. 21 auction in Pebble Beach, Calif. But she says she’d be happy if it r a i s e s $100,000. Crow was a schoolCROW teacher before launching her singing career, and the money will go to the Joplin Schools Recovery Fund.

2010 CENSUS RESULTS
Challenging the numbers ... And now Norway
iven the research and detailed documentation required to contest a Census count, you might wonder whether it’s worthwhile for Rowan County and China Grove to go through a challenge that involves a relatively small number of disputed residences or people. The answer is yes — for several reasons. With the state Legislature in the midst of redistricting based on the 2010 count, Rowan Countians are well aware of how Census results affect the drawing of boundaries for congressional districts as well as N.C. House and Senate seats. Accurate demographic information is crucial in apportioning representation — and, as we’re currently witnessing, shaping the political landscape for a decade to come. Numbers equate to votes and representation. For counties and municipalities, the numbers also directly impact finances and planning for future growth. State and federal funding is often allocated according to population, and some grants may be linked to population threshholds. Local governments also need accurate headcounts and precise residential maps to help plan for future service needs, such as schools, police and fire protection, roads and water and sewer service. Having precise data now enhances the accuracy of growth projections for the future. The reverse is also true: Given that it will be 10 years before another Census is conducted, a small error now could compound into a larger distortion over the years if not corrected. No less important, demographics are a key consideration when retail businesses are looking to open new branches or expand old ones. That’s why local governments are smart to diligently check new Census counts — and should challenge data that don’t add up. For Rowan, the questionable numbers are 1,500 houses that may either have been omitted or placed in the wrong counting area; for China Grove, it’s a suspected undercount of 800-900 residents — a significant amount for a small town. While some challenges are successful, overall the Census has proved to be remarkably accurate for such a massive statistical undertaking. Following the 2000 count, potential problems were identified for 1,180 out of 39,000 jurisdictions — less than 3 percent of all governmental jurisdictions across the nation. The final 2000 corrections resulted in a net gain in population of about 2,700 people. That represented about 1/1000th of a percent of the U.S. population at that time — which sounds pretty inconsequential, unless your jurisdiction has the bad data.

Rampage shatters any illusion of safety hen parents send their children off to summer camp, they reasonably expect them to return refreshed and more attuned with the world than when they left home. Even in their wildest nightmares, they don't foresee them returning in a pine box. We must now add Norway to the expanding list of unsafe places that includes Columbine, Oklahoma City, the World Trade Center, London, Madrid, Ft. Hood and Virginia Tech. The host of the 1994 Winter and home to the NoOlympics CAL bel Peace Prize has had its THOMAS sense of safety and security violated in ways it could never have imagined; shattered by a crazed gunman with an inflated sense of self, on a mission from hell. Police are calling the gunman, Anders Behring Breivik, a “Christian fundamentalist” because we must have labels (except when describing Muslim fundamentalists, which police, politicians and much of the media try to avoid for fear of angering Islamists). Breivik is as much a “Christian fundamentalist” as Judas Iscariot was and he deserves a similar fate. Writing in London’s Daily Telegraph, reporter Mark Hughes notes, “Norway’s intelligence service had previously been criticized for its failure to keep track of suspected terror cells and the country was felt to be complacent about the prospect of a terror attack,” according to secret cables from WikiLeaks files. That may be true, but how does a government crack a “cell” that isn’t a cell? Breivik only recently created a Facebook page and his 1,500-page manifesto ranted against Muslims (about 2 percent of Norway's population is made up of Muslim immigrants, and that number is growing) and indigenous Euro-

peans, whom he accused of betraying their heritage. That none of his young victims are responsible for the conditions he railed against adds to the madness of this inexplicable event. Listening to some of the survivors tell their stories is heartbreaking. It took Norway police 90 minutes to arrive on scene, probably because of the “diversionary” bomb Breivik exploded outside government offices in Oslo. Breivik used the time to hunt down more victims until police finally arrived. Norway forbids civilians from carrying concealed weapons, or owning an automatic weapon, unless they are gun collectors. As in America, gun laws do not deter criminals who are determined to cause harm with a weapon. What would have deterred Breivik would have been a gun in the hands of a competent person capable of stopping his massmurdering spree. If Norway can be a site for terror, is there a safe place on Earth? The answer is no. There are no “safe” places; no one can be 100 percent safe. Does that mean everyone should be armed? Not necessarily. What it means is that for some countries, some people and some places, a way to make the environment as safe as humanly possible is to have properly armed and trained people who can respond to such events. Would Anders Behring Breivik have thought twice about his killing spree if he had known in advance that someone would shoot back? That is impossible to know. But if someone on Utoeya Island had returned fire, there's a possibility that far fewer would have been killed. This approach may not be pleasant for some to contemplate, but the alternative is more personal and national mourning, as is now being experienced in Norway. • • • Email Cal Thomas at tmseditors@tribune.com.

My philosophy has always been that I belong to this wonderful community and therefore would never do anything to harm that bond or offend anyone. But my rights may be ignored if the proposed Mt. Ulla broadcast tower is passed. This tower was not denied for nearly a decade by various boards and courts because of anti-property rights or anti-capitalist views. It was repeatedly denied because this monstrous tower is unlike anything we now see in the county; it was denied because Mt. Ulla is not zoned for a tower of this magnitude and denied due to safety concerns for Miller Airport. The only weak “support” for this tower comes from those who value property rights above all else, even to the detriment of themselves, their neighbors and the community. As a property owner who will be forced to live under this monster every single day, I should have rights as well. This tower is not good for the Mt. Ulla community in any way. Mt. Ulla is a lovely slice of heaven that may be ruined forever. And that breaks my heart. — Betsy Webster

piers, and septic tanks, driveways and houses have been banned. Motor boats, fishing and even swimming can be prohibited or severely restricted. Because states don’t have expertise to operate dams, they’re often leased to private companies with no longterm incentive in efficient operation or maintenance, and the dam deteriorates. When the state can’t afford repairs to keep it in safe condition, well-funded, powerful, environmental extremist organizations pounce with teams of lawyers and start agitating for removal of the dam. They believe that dams are an abomination. Seem far-fetched? Do a Google search for: “Dams are bad.” American Rivers is one of the most aggressive groups. It boasts responsibility for removal of 150 dams, several in North Carolina.

ere is a North Carolina history question: Which North Carolina counties were named in honor of women? Dare, of course, in honor of Virginia Dare, the first child of English parents born in America. Wake was named for Margaret Wake, wife of Governor William Tryon. And then, Mecklenburg, named in honor of the wife of King George III, D.G. Charlotte, who MARTIN grew up in the Mecklenburg region of Germany. German Mecklenburg was part of the old East Germany. There was almost no connection between the two Mecklenburgs until the Wall came down. Last month in Mirow, a small town in German Mecklenburg, important people from all over the world gathered to celebrate a “Queen Charlotte” connection that binds Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Perhaps the most important person there was British Ambassador to Germany Simon McDonald, who reported, “I was puzzled at first to find the place teeming with Americans; until I realised they were from Charlotte, North Carolina. The delegation was headed by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Mecklenburg County, and included the deputy mayor of Charlotte …. Charlotte, N.C., was founded in 1762, the year after Charlotte became queen. Its symbol is still Charlotte’s crown; the deputy mayor proudly pointed out that a crown tops Charlotte’s tallest building, the Bank of America HQ.” What brought all these Charlotte-connected people together? In the words of the ambassador, it was “to take part in ceremonies to mark the 250th anniversary of the coronation of Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III.” And why was this tiny town, population about 3,500, chosen to host the event? The ambassador explained that the future queen “was born at Mirow on 19 May 1744.” Charlotte was living in the schloss, the German word for castle or palace, in Mirow when, at age 17, she departed for England in August 1761 to marry King George When I first visited Princess Charlotte’s schloss in 1990, it was lovely, but in bad repair. It seemed too small to be a real castle. But, as the ambassador explained, that was a blessing. “Its small size and intact roof saved it during the DDR (East German) time when the authorities systematically demolished princely palaces.” After the unification of Germany, it took the heroic efforts of a group of Mirow residents and the support of wise officials of German Mecklenburg’s government to keep the schloss from being sold to private owners. The schloss, though small, turned out to be something very special because, as the ambassador explained, its first owner, Charlotte’s grandmother, “built beautifully on a modest scale; the final touches were provided by Italian painters and sculptors … coaxed north from Berlin when Frederick the Great could not afford to pay their fees during the Seven Years War (1756-63).” The government of German Mecklenburg, with support from the European Union, is pouring millions of euros into restoring the schloss. Expected completion: 2014. Speaking to his fellow British citizens, the ambassador continued, “I recommend a visit in three years to see what you’re investing in as an EU taxpayer: it promises to be spectacular.” I agree. But don’t wait. With the lovely grounds on the small castle island, a special gatehouse with a room dedicated to a partnership with North Carolina, a hotel, a marina, restaurants, and the historic church where Charlotte was baptized, all within sight of each other, and less than two hours from Berlin, Mirow cries out for a visit by North Carolinians — right now. • • • D.G.

Perdue vetoes bill that would require voters to show ID
White House threatens to veto GOP debt-limit plan
Analysts think US will avoid a default, but lose its AAA rating NEW YORK (AP) — Could the U.S. lose its top credit rating even if a deal is reached to raise the debt limit? Market analysts and investors increasingly say yes. The outcome won’t be quite as scary as a default, but financial markets would still take a blow. Mortgage rates could rise. States and cities, already strapped, could find it more difficult to borrow. Stocks could lose their gains for the year. “At this point, we’re more concerned about the risk of a downgrade than a default,” said Terry Belton, global head of fixed income strategy at JPMorgan Chase. In a conference call with reporters Tuesday, Belton said the loss of the country’s AAA rating may rattle markets, but it’s “better than missing an interest payment.” Even with a deadline to raise the U.S. debt limit less than a week away, many investors still believe Washington will pull off a last-minute deal to avoid a catastrophic default. Washington has until Aug. 2 to raise the country’s $14.3 trillion borrowing limit or risk missing a payment on its debt. President Barack Obama and Congressional Republicans have failed to reach an agreement to raise the debt ceiling and pass a larger budget-cutting package. Politicians have tied raising the debt limit and spending cuts together. But at least one credit rating agency has already made it clear that unless that agreement includes at least $4 trillion in budget cuts over the next decade, the country’s AAA rating could be lost. Right now, the proposals under discussion cut around $2 trillion or less. Standard & Poor’s warned earlier this month that there was a 50-50 chance of a downgrade, if Congress and President Obama failed to find a “credible solution to the rising U.S. government debt burden.” S&P said it may cut the U.S. rating to AA within 90 days. Passing a $4 trillion agreement could prevent a downgrade, S&P said.
Norway police delay in stopping massacre called ‘unforgivable’ OSLO, Norway (AP) — When Anders Behring Breivik launched his assault on the youth campers of Utoya Island, he expected Norway’s special forces to swoop down and stop him at any minute. Instead, Delta Force police officers made the 25-mile journey by car — they have no helicopter — then had to be rescued by a civilian craft when their boat broke down as it tried to navigate a oneminute hop to the island. It took police more than 90 minutes to reach the gunman, who by then had mortally wounded 68 people. Breivik immediately dropped his guns and surrendered, having exceeded his wildest murderous expectations. As Oslo’s police force sounds an increasingly defensive note, international experts said Tuesday that Norway’s government and security forces must learn stark lessons from a massacre

Rep. Wu to resign in wake of allegations of sexual encounter
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Voters will get the chance to decide whether Ohio can opt out of the national health care overhaul after the state’s top election official said Tuesday that opponents of the federal law have enough signatures to put a constitutional amendment on the Nov. 8 ballot. Secretary of State Jon Husted determined that supporters of the amendment, which would prohibit Ohio from participating in the federal Affordable Care Act, had gathered 427,000 valid signatures. They had submitted more than 546,000 and needed roughly 358,000 of them validated to make it on to the ballot. The amendment will find itself on the ballot alongside a measure to repeal a contentious new collective bargaining law. Advocates expect that the two measures will drive people to the polls, which are typically under-visited in off-year elections. A liberal policy group, however, said it could file a challenge to the health care measure, because it was still finding invalid signatures in its review. A coalition of tea party organizations, small government advocates and religious groups gathered the signatures to get the health care measure on the ballot and now plan to mount a statewide campaign in support of it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. David Wu of Oregon announced Tuesday that he will resign amid the political fallout from an 18year-old woman’s allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter with him. Wu had already said that he would not seek re-election, but he had come under increasing pressure to step down. Shortly after the allegations broke, Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi requested a House Ethics Committee investigation of his conduct. “The well-being of my children must come before anything else,” Wu said in a statement. “With great sadness, I therefore intend to resign effective upon the resolution of the debt-ceiling crisis. This is the right decision for my family, the institution of the House and my colleagues.” Wu is the second House Democrat in the last six weeks to be forced to resign following allegations of sexual misconduct. Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York resigned after sending lewd photos of himself through Twitter. Wu faced allegations in his 2004 campaign that he had sexually assaulted a former girlfriend when they were students at Stanford University in the 1970s Wu, a Yale-educated lawyer, was elected to Congress in 1998 as the first Chinese-American to serve in the House. He’s maintained a centrist voting record but has been a leading voice on human rights abuses in China. He angered the high-tech firms in his district when he voted against normalizing trade relations with China.
Perry’s Texas far outpaces jobs in other states SAN ANTONIO (AP) — In Vernon, Calif., billboards and radio ads bought by the city in suburban Los Angeles portray Texas Gov. Rick Perry as some kind of unstoppable, job-lassoing marauder — an image Perry himself would no doubt embrace if he decided to run for president. “This just in,” begin the radio spots, which started airing in June, “Texas Gov. Rick Perry is urging Vernon’s 1,800 employers to move their 55,000-plus jobs from California to Texas.” Beneath the voiceover, an emergency siren wails. When it comes to attracting jobs, are Perry and Texas really such a force to be reckoned with? That question is stirring discussion around the country these days, especially in political circles, as Texas markets itself as a job mecca and as Perry ponders whether to run for president in an election that will be focused on jobs and the economy. During a decade that included a national recession, Texas added a million jobs, more than almost every other state combined. Perry talks about his state’s jobs record everywhere he goes as he weighs

reading “marriage is so gay” inside-out to avoid offending others on a recent visit to the Tennessee theme park complex. Olivier Odom and Jennifer Tipton told The Knoxville News Sentinel they want the park to be more inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender families after Odom was asked to reverse her shirt when they visited Dollywood Splash Country next to the Pigeon Forge amusement park. The story was first reported by WBIRTV in Knoxville. Dollywood spokesman Pete Owens said on Tuesday that Dollywood is open to all families, but their dress code policy is to ask people with clothing or tattoos that could be considered offensive to change clothes or cover up. Owens said the couple was not asked to leave and complied with the rules to reverse the shirt when asked. “The park is open every day to everybody,” Owens said. “We try to provide an environment for families of all shapes and sizes to enjoy themselves.
California man uses butter knife in self-surgery attempt GLENDALE, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California man stuck a butter knife into his belly in a failed bid at selfsurgery to remove a painful hernia, police said Tuesday. The wife of the 63-year-old Glendale man called 911 on Sunday night and told the emergency operator her husband was using a knife to remove a protruding hernia, Sgt. Tom Lorenz said. “She said he had impaled himself with a knife,” Lorenz said. Officers found the man naked on a patio lounge chair outside his apartment with a 6-inch butter knife sticking out of his stomach. The man’s wife told officers that her husband was upset about the hernia and wanted to take it out. While waiting for paramedics, the sergeant said, the man pulled out the knife and stuffed a cigarette he was smoking into the bleeding, open wound.
belief that every North Carolinian has the constitutional right to vote and that the state should not be creating obstacles to stop them,” Perdue said in a prepared statement after the vote. GOP legislative leaders contend polls show strong support for voter ID and that Perdue vetoed the measure to please her base of Democratic supporters. Several Republican House members have said voter identification is one of the most important issues to their constituents. “How can you possibly vote against a requirement where in one instance you have to show a photo ID (in Winston-Salem) to panhandle but not show a photo ID to do the most important and sacred thing that we do as citizens?” said House Speaker Pro Tempore Dale Folwell, R-Forsyth. Democrats argue the bill was purely partisan. Others have suggested ID requirements would make it harder for President Obama to win North Carolina’s electoral votes next year after winning them for Democrats in 2008 for the first time in 32 years. Voter fraud is already a felony in North Carolina. The State Board of Elections referred 43 cases of potential fraud to district attorneys in 2008 and 21 in 2010. Meanwhile, about 147,100 active black voters do not have photo ID, according to the election reform group Democracy North Carolina. The bill didn’t even consider potential fraud problems with obtaining absentee ballots, said House Minority Leader Joe Hackney, D-Orange. “Everyone is interested in the integrity of the elections and it does appear that commonsense says that people should show an ID,” said Bob Hall, Democracy North Carolina’s executive director. “But when you look at the data there are more people that are hurt by that requirement than would be helped.”

Authorities identify mystery Utah inmate as missing NM man SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A mystery man believed to be in his 70s who has been locked up in a Utah jail for more than three weeks, refusing to provide his name, was identified Tuesday as a missing New Mexico man, authorities said. The graying, disheveled man with blue eyes and a scruffy face was booked into the Utah County Jail as “John Doe” on July 1 after being arrested for trespassing in the Provo Police Department parking garage, about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City. Since then, investigators have been publicizing his mug shot and reaching out to the media and public to figure out who he is. About 100 tips had led nowhere. Authorities even considered the man might have been a missing district attorney from Pennsylvania, but later ruled that out. Another Pennsylvania prosecutor on Tuesday confirmed that authorities have determined the man is Phillip T. Beavers of New Mexico. Centre County District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said in an email to The Associated Press that the man’s brother identified him. No other details were immediately available.
RALEIGH (AP) — Republican lawmakers failed Tuesday to override a veto by Gov. Beverly Perdue that would have required voters to show photo identification before casting an in-person ballot. The North Carolina House voted on party lines 67-52 in favor of the override, five votes short of what’s needed to move it to the Senate. Republicans successfully performed a parliamentary maneuver, however, that keeps the voter ID issue alive. Republicans argued the photo ID mandate would discourage voter fraud and build the public’s confidence PERDUE in voting. Democrats said the requirement is unnecessary because reports of fraud are few and that it would only lead to voter suppression, particularly older people, minorities and women. The override question spurred passionate debate for more than an hour about voting in an era in which citizens show identification to enter government buildings or get on an airplane but only a half-century since blacks in the Jim Crow-era South were discouraged from voting because of the color of their skin. “This bill is an insult to me. It’s an insult to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King,” said first-term Rep. Rodney Moore, R-Mecklenburg. “Right now, I feel like my rights have been raped. Yes I do because there is no substantive problem in North Carolina with voter fraud and this is purely, purely an attempt at voter suppression.” Perdue vetoed the measure last month. “I want to thank the legislators who stood firm in the

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House threatened on Tuesday to veto emergency House legislation that aims to avert a threatened national default, a pre-emptive strike issued as Republican Speaker John Boehner labored to line up enough votes in his own party to pass the measure. Boehner faced criticism from some conservatives in advance of an expected vote on Wednesday. The bill would raise the debt limit by $1 trillion while making cuts to federal spending of $1.2 trillion — reductions that conservatives say aren’t enough. The measure also would establish a committee of lawmakers to recommend additional budget savings of $1.8 trillion, which would trigger an additional $1.6 trillion increase in the debt limit. The White House objects to the requirement for a second vote before the 2012 elections.

COLUMBIA (AP) — The NAACP’s president is urging South Carolina’s Gov. Nikki Haley to remove the Confederate flag that flies near her Statehouse office. NAACP protests led in 2000 to the flag being moved from atop the Statehouse dome and from House and Senate chambers to a monument outside the Statehouse. But NAACP head Benjamin Jealous said at the group’s annual convention in Los Angeles on Monday that “one of the most perplexing examples of the contradictions of this moment in history is that Nikki Haley, South Carolina’s first governor of color, continues to fly the Confederate Flag in front of her state’s capitol.� Haley is the first South Carolina governor whose parents immigrated from India. Haley spokesman Rob Godfrey said Tuesday the governor has no plans to revisit an issue resolved long ago.

TEACHER FROM 1a the school system because she believed the letter written by Hargett contained false information, but her request was denied and the letter was not removed. She maintains that the letter should never have been placed in her file in the first place because it was not signed by Hargett. The law states “the complaint, commendation, or suggestion shall be signed by the person who makes it and shall be placed in the teacher’s file only after five days’ notice to the teacher.â€? Watson said she decided to file the lawsuit last week after going through the grievance process and before the school board with not results. “Originally the only thing I wanted was to have the letter that was written taken out of my file,â€? she said. “I really wish it could have been resolved earlier, I’ve tried everything I could and it’s like they’ve turned deaf ears.â€? • • • Watson said she is seeking damages in excess of $10,000 to make up for lost wages and medical issues. She said she planned to continue teaching until at least February 2012 when she turns 62 and is able to draw Social Security. She opted to retire after this year because of the “mental and physicalâ€? stress she says she’s undergone since Hargett wrote the letter in May 2010. “I didn’t feel like I could deal with things any longer,â€? she said. Watson said she taught second grade for seven years and third grade for two at Bostian. She was transferred to Faith Elementary last year and placed in first grade. “It was very difficult for me because I was in a new environment teaching a different grade level,â€? she said.

Starks shoots for success North Rowan graduate picks CVCC BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com
PENCER — Sam Starks talked to coaches at higher levels before signing with Catawba Valley Community College to play basketball. An electrifying, multi-sport athlete who gets A-pluses for character, Starks doesn’t see CVCC as “settling.” All the North Rowan graduate wanted was an opportunity to prove himself, and CVCC coach Bryan Garmroth provided it. “What I really want to do more than anything is play basketball because that’s my best bet,” Starks said. “I’d heard people say a lot of good things about Catawba Valley, and I went up there to see. I really like the school. I believe it’s the right place.” Starks is 5-foot-10. If he stood 62, someone would’ve grabbed him six months ago. He’s going to have to transition from shooting guard to point guard — he understands that — but he has the talent and the will to handle that makeover. “I’ve actually been practicing and working on playing the point all summer,” Starks said. “I thought it would be very hard, but Catawba Valley’s offense is a pushthe-ball offense. That fits right into my category.” Jon C. Lakey/salisBury post All you need to know about sam starks, No. 10, is a standout in three sports: basketball, football and track.

NFL players return to work Teams take down the locks, put up banners The Associated Press
A big green and white sign greeted Mark Sanchez as he drove up to the New York Jets’ training facility for the first time in months. And, boy, was it a pleasant sight. “Welcome Back!” it blared in block letters, followed by “Here Come The Jets.” “It was wonderful,” Sanchez said with a big smile Tuesday. “Now we’re back and we can start playing, so it’s good.” The gates were up, facilities were open all around the league and NFL players finally went to work. Now, they need to get ready for the season in a hurry. “It’s good to be back, get everything over with and just come back and feel welcome again,” said Brett Swain of the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. “Get back in the roll of things and get camp started.” After a lockout that lasted 41⁄2 months ended Monday with an agreement between the NFL and its players, teams’ facilities were buzzing with activity Tuesday.
During the lockout, the Tennessee Titans had a chain around their closed front gate to keep players out. That chain was gone and the front gate wide open as rookie quarterback Jake Locker, the No. 8 pick overall in April, and quarterbacks Rusty Smith and Brett Ratliff were among the first to arrive. “It is nice to drive by and not have the lock on the gate and actually get a friendly smile when you come in here,” left tackle Michael Roos said. Players all around the league were allowed back in to meet with coaches, work out, take physicals and receive playbooks — among other things. “I came for the free lunch,” quipped Washington Redskins receiver Anthony Armstrong. Teams were already starting a feeding frenzy on their drafted players and undrafted free agents, and were allowed to start negotiating with free agents in what will likely be a flurry of activity the league has never seen. Players such as Nnamdi Asomugha and associated press Santonio Holmes will soon find out where carolina panthers’ thomas they’re going — or staying — as free agency davis, right, hugs the team’s began. “With this whole free agency opening up, security director, Gene Brown,

Moore’s future not in Carolina CHARLOTTE (AP) — A year ago, Matt Moore was preparing to enter training camp as the Carolina Panthers’ starting quarterback. Now he’s looking for a job. Moore arrived at Bank of America Stadium on Tuesday morning, but left less than 30 minutes later while fellow quarterbacks Cam Newton and Jimmy Clausen remained inside to go over the playbook with new quarterbacks coach Mike Shula. Even more telling for Moore’s future: He left the stadium without a playbook in hand, while other players departed periodically carrying a three-inch binder. Moore, an unrestricted free agent, seemed very

Panthers’ Johnson: $72M man
Source: Hasselbeck out, Jackson in as Seahawks’ QB
CHARLOTTE (AP) — The Carolina Panthers weren’t about to let their top free agent Charles Johnson get away, even if it meant shelling out big bucks. The Panthers persuaded Johnson, their prized defensive end, to agree to a contract worth $72 million over six years and that includes a $30 million signing bonus. The team confirmed the deal Tuesday night and Johnson said he plans to sign the deal on Friday. “The Panthers told me the whole time they were going to come after me hard,” Johnson said. “I had to see it to believe, but they did.” Johnson said he was “blown away” by Carolina’s offer and the money con-
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Tarvaris Jackson is in as the Seattle Seahawks next quarterback and Matt Hasselbeck is reportedly looking elsewhere. A person with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday that Jackson has agreed to terms with the Seahawks and is expected to sign a contract Friday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because free agents aren’t allowed to sign contracts until Friday. Reports surfaced Tuesday afternoon that the Seahawks told Hasselbeck he was no longer in their future plans. The decision to move on
vinced him to choose Carolina over Atlanta and Denver, who also expressed interest. “Could you have turned that down?” Johnson said of the contract with a laugh. The Panthers put the full court press on Johnson.General manager Marty Hurney, coach Ron Rivera and several members of the defensive staff flew to Miami on Monday night in an effort to make sure Johnson wouldn’t get away. “A lot of people in my family were rooting for me to sign with Atlanta because it was closer to home and they could come see me play,” said Johnson, a native of Hawkinsville, Ga. “But I think they understand.” Johnson had a breakout
season for the Panthers in 2010 with 111⁄2 sacks in his first year as a starter. He had a combined 10 sacks his previous two seasons playing behind veteran ends Julius Peppers and Tyler Brayton. Johnson said he was impressed at how important the Panthers made him feel by bringing a good portion of the coaching staff along. “They showed so much respect for me, I wanted to show it back,” Johnson said. Aside from the money, Johnson said his love of the Charlotte community played a role in his decision. “Once you are settled in somewhere you get comfortable,” Johnson said. “Money aside, it wasn’t a hard decision for me to leave because I am
tied into Charlotte.” Johnson said the first thing he plans to do with some of the signing bonus is take care of his family, most of which still lives in Georgia and some of whom wanted him to sign with the Falcons. He said the Falcons initially showed a lot of interest, but backed off once they learned of Carolina’s offer. Johnson can sign his contract Friday, but can’t join the Panthers at training camp until Aug. 4 under new league rules. Until then he will remain in Miami and continue to train. “To say I’m thankful doesn’t begin to describe it,” Johnson said. “I’m so excited. I’m ready to get back to football.”
from Hasselbeck contradicted Seattle coach Pete Carroll’s pronouncement in January that re-signing Hasselbeck was Seattle’s No. 1 priority. The two sides could not reach an agreement before the NFL lockout. Hasselbeck spent the past 10 seasons in Seattle and for much of that time was the face of the franchise. He took the Seahawks to their only Super Bowl appearance and captained Seattle to five division titles. He leaves as the team’s all-time leader in numerous passing categories. But it won’t be Hasselbeck back under center when the season begins on Sept. 11 at San Francisco.
It’s all smiles for players, owners
NFL FroM 1B it’s going to be crazy,” Redskins quarterback John Beck said at the team’s facility in Ashburn, Va. “Our team’s going to look different.” Washington has several free agents to address this summer, including Santana Moss, Rex Grossman, Carlos Rogers and Rocky McIntosh. Oh, and there’s also the murky statuses of Donovan McNabb and Albert Haynesworth to deal with. The Jets and general manager Mike Tannenbaum have 16 players who are unrestricted free agents, including Holmes, Braylon Edwards, Antonio Cromartie and Brad Smith. “It would be interesting just to get a camera in (Tannenbaum’s office) and see how crazy it could be,” center Nick Mangold said. Teams were also greeting players by saying goodbye, at least for now. The New York Giants have told center and player representative Shaun O’Hara and guard Rich Seubert that they will be released. A source close to each veteran said on Tuesday that the team told the players they would be cut on Thursday in what are salary-cap moves. At Cowboys’ camp in Irving, Texas, Dallas was set to release several high-priced players, including running back Marion Barber, receiver Roy Williams, right guard Leonard Davis and kicker Kris Brown — according to multiple people familiar with the decisions who told the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team had not made any announcements. The Baltimore Ravens told running back Willis McGahee, former Pro Bowl tight end Todd Heap, wide receiver Derrick Mason and nose guard Kelly Gregg they will but cut. “It’s just the reality of the

salary cap,” coach John Harbaugh said. “It’s the situation we’re in now, and going forward we’ve got to try to make the best team we can.” In Philadelphia, Michael Vick was one of the first to arrive at Eagles headquarters and said he’s ready to report Wednesday to training camp, even without a new contract. “Everything happens when it’s supposed to,” he said. “I put that in the hands of God and this organization to make it happen.” But, he suggested DeSean Jackson could hold out because the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver is unhappy with his deal. Backup quarterback Kevin Kolb didn’t attend the voluntary workout Tuesday, and is on the trading block. In Cincinnati, Bengals owner Mike Brown insisted he won’t trade quarterback Carson Palmer, who wants to leave despite having four years left on his contract. Palmer told the team in January that he would retire if he’s not traded, and Brown said the team will move on without its franchise quarterback. “I honestly like Carson Palmer,” Brown said. “He was a splendid player for us. He’s a good person. I wish him well. And he is retired. That is his choice. ... I’m not expecting him to be back.” The San Diego Chargers will have their big wide receiver back in camp as Vincent Jackson will sign his nonexclusive franchise tag on Friday as soon as he is allowed to do so, according to agent Neil Schwartz. While most teams’ rosters are nowhere close to looking the way they’ll be even at this time next week, Tuesday was all about getting back to football. “I’ve been here for the past week,” Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker said at team headquarters in Foxborough, Mass., “driving around here and finding a place to work out and doing all that stuff I don’t have to worry about anymore.”
juries. On the owners’ side, there’s: • More money to invest as gross revenues rise. • Labor peace for 10 years that makes it easier to work out long-term business deals. • The ability to assist in the development of new stadiums because certain revenue was not included in total football revenues; • Paying less money to untested rookies, specifically high-first round draft picks, although that money will be redirected to veterans. Each side lost a little, too. The owners did not give the players an opt-out clause NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith sought, and the players retained a 16-game regular season that Commissioner Roger Goodell wanted increased to 18 games. “We didn’t get everything that either side wanted ... but we did arrive at a deal that we think is fair and balanced,” Smith said. New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft apologized to fans for taking so long to reach a deal but said “the end result is we’ve been able to have an agreement that I think is going to allow this sport to flourish over the next decade.” There is still more to be done once the union recertifies and the almost 1,900 players vote to approve the new CBA. When that happens, items such as player discipline, drug testing, disability programs and pensions, have to be negotiated. Cowboys tight end Jason Witten believes the length of the deal indicates a win-win conclusion to the often contentious negotiations. “That kind of solidifies that both sides felt good about the deal and that it’s a fair deal,” he said.

Moore later returned to a starting role, but then tore the labrum in his right shoulder against New Orleans and went on injured reserve. Moore said he left the stadium Tuesday without talking to general manager Marty Hurney or any members of the coaching staff. He said the purpose of his visit to the stadium was to get his shoulder checked out by the training staff, and Moore added it’s fully healed. “Said hello and goodbye,” Moore said. Moore still feels he can be
a starting quarterback somewhere in the league. “I think so given the right situation and the timing,” Moore said. “A lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen, but yeah, I feel good. I feel like I can come in and compete.” Moore said he spent time this offseason working out with Newton, the team’s No. 1 draft pick. Newton declined comment when he arrived at the stadium and as he left for a lunch break with running back Jonathan Stewart. Clausen said he’s eager to get going with the lockout over. “We’re grinding right now,” Clausen said. “We have to get ready to go. Obviously we’re a little behind because there is a new coaching staff and a new playbook. We just have to keep grinding each and every day.”

NEW YORK (AP) — NFL owners and players were all smiles after agreeing on a new labor deal. And why not? Both sides were feeling like winners. It took a 41⁄2-month lockout to do it, but players came away with better salaries and benefits and safer working conditions. Owners, meanwhile, gain a higher percentage of the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues that figure to rise significantly. “The whole deal for everybody is truly an upgrade,” Chicago Bears kicker and player representative Robbie Gould said Monday. “If you look at the whole concept of the deal — for the owners, obviously, they wanted a percentage back. We gave them a percentage back. For the players, workers compensation, the revenue sharing. “I think at the end of the day, the deal is fair for everyone.” The biggest issue involved splitting revenue. In the new 10-year deal, the split is about 53 percent to owners and 47 percent to players. The old collective bargaining agreement was close to a 50-50 arrangement. “This new agreement is fair for both sides. Neither side got everything they wanted,” San Diego Chargers president Dean Spanos said. “It will give us labor peace for 10 years and helps secure the long-term future of the game. It will allow pro football to be even better, safer and more competitive, and to grow and prosper into the future.” On the plus side for the players, there’s: • An increase in salaries and benefits, with the salary cap at $120 million, plus $22 million in benefits, for 2011. Owners must spend 99 percent of the salary cap in 2011-12 in cash. • Minimum salary increases of

PHILADELPHIA — Rookie right-hander Vance Worley threw a three-hitter and Chase Utley hit an inside-the-park homer to lead Philadelphia to a 7-2 victory over San Francisco on Tuesday night. Worley (7-1) had five strikeouts and one walk, and has allowed two earned runs or less in 11 of his 13 career starts. It was Worley’s fifth straight win. Ryan Howard, John Mayberry Jr. and Raul Ibanez also homered for the Phillies. Aaron Rowand of the Giants homered against his former team. Barry Zito (3-3), a late replacement for scheduled starter Tim Lincecum, allowed six runs and six hits in seven innings. Lincecum was scratched two hours before the game due to a stomach illness. Mets 8, Reds 6 CINCINNATI — Jason Pridie put New York ahead with a two-run double, and the Mets took advantage of one of Cincinnati’s worst defensive performances of the season. The Mets scored six unearned runs off Johnny Cueto (6-4) with the help of three errors, matching the Reds’ high for a game. David Wright continued his hitting surge since returning from a stress fracture in his lower back. The Mets’ cleanup hitter had two more hits and drove in a run, improving to 10 for 24 with seven RBIs in his five games back. Marlins 11, Nationals 2 WASHINGTON — Greg Dobbs drove in a career-high five runs, including a solo homer, and Logan Morrison and John Buck both homered to lead Florida. Dobbs drove in Florida’s first run in the first on a groundout. He added another runscoring single in the seventh and drove in two more on a single a five-run ninth inning. It was the second time this year the Marlins have scored at least 10 runs. Florida

Ricky Nolasco (7-7) pitched into the sixth inning, allowing two runs and three hits as Florida won its third straight. Laynce Nix homered for Washington, which has lost three straight and five of six. Braves-Pirates marathon Atlanta was involved in an extraordinary game at Turner Field against Pittsburgh late Tuesday night. It was 3-3 after three innings and it was still 3-3 after 15 innings. Tommy Hanson and Jeff Karstens started, but the bullpens put up most of the zeroes. Neil Walker had three hits for the Buccos, while Freddie Freeman had three for Atlanta. Jason Heyward knocked in two runs for Atlanta. Brewers 3, Cubs 2 MILWAUKEE — Ryan Braun doubled in a run, Casey McGehee added a two-run triple and Milwaukee’s bullpen tossed four scoreless innings.
Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer for the Cubs, who saw their season-best threegame winning streak snapped. Chris Narveson (7-6) went five innings but needed reliever Kameron Loe to bail him out of a bases-loaded jam in the sixth. John Axford tied a franchise mark with his 25th consecutive save. Cardinals 3, Astros 1 ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer in the first inning for St. Louis and Jake Westbrook made it hold up with six innings of one-run ball. Pujols hit the first pitch he saw from Brett Myers (3-11) on a line to left-center field. The ball appeared to hit the top of the wall, but was ruled a home run by third base umpire Mike DiMuro. Houston center fielder Michael Bourn and left fielder Carlos Lee rushed in to dispute the call, which was subsequently reviewed by replay and upheld for Pujols’ 23rd homer.

Reds make room for Alonso
NEW YORK — The Seattle Mariners flailed away helplessly against CC Sabathia in their 17th straight loss, managing only one hit and striking out 18 times overall in a 4-1 loss to the New York Yankees on a rainsoaked Tuesday night. Sabathia (15-5) did not allow a baserunner until Brendan Ryan singled with one out in the seventh inning in beating Seattle for the seventh consecutive start. He struck out 14 of the 25 batters he faced, seven in a row at one point. The Mariners are four shy of matching the Baltimore Orioles’ American League-record 21game losing streak to start the 1988 season. The 1961 Phillies dropped 23 straight for the modern major league mark. Curtis Granderson homered off Doug Fister (3-12) to put New York ahead 1-0 in the fourth and Mark Teixeira connected for his 100th homer with the Yankees in the eighth.

CINCINNATI — The Reds sent struggling left fielder Jonny Gomes to Washington for two minor leaguers on Tuesday, a move that opens an outfield spot for one of their best young hitters. Former first-round pick Yonder Alonso was called up from Triple-A to take Gomes’ spot, giving the defending NL Central champions another left-handed hitter who can play left field and back up Joey Votto at first base. The Reds obtained minor league left-hander Chris Manno and outfielder Bill Rhinehart from Washington. Cincinnati included money in the deal to pay part of Gomes’ salary. “For us, it’s a tough move to make in some ways because Jonny was a big part of our club last year, a guy that obviously we all think of highly as a person and a player,” general manager Walt Jocketty said. “It gives us an opportunity to bring Alonso up and start looking at a couple of guys that could get an opportunity.” The 24-year-old Alonso was the seventh overall pick in the June 2008 draft. A career first baseman, he got stuck behind Votto and was moved to left field. He batted .296 with 24 doubles, 12 homers and 56 RBIs in 91 games at Triple-A Louisville, playing 21 games at first and 62 in the outfield.
Twins 9, Rangers 8 ARLINGTON, Texas — Joe Mauer drove in the go-ahead run with a pinch hit double off closer Neftali Feliz in a two-run ninth and Minnesota bounced back from Monday night’s 20-6 rout by the Rangers. The Twins trailed 8-7 when they put runners on second and third off Feliz (0-2) on Delmon Young’s single and Jim Thome’s pinch double. Tsuyoshi Nishioka hit a grounder to shortstop Elvis Andrus, who fumbled the ball for an error as Young scored to tie it at 8. Mauer, getting a game off on a 101-degree night, lashed a double to left to score pinch-runner Jason Repko and put the Twins in front. Orioles 12, Blue Jays 4 TORONTO — J.J. Hardy homered twice, Derrek Lee and Nolan Reimold also connected and the Orioles beat the Blue Jays. It was the first multihomer game of the season for Hardy
and the fifth of his career. He went 2 for 5 with four RBIs. Lee went 4 for 5 with five RBIs. Baltimore finished with 16 hits, with every member of the starting lineup collecting at least one. Right-hander Jake Arrieta allowed five runs, four earned, and five hits in five innings to snap a five-start winless streak. Arrieta (10-7) walked two and struck out four to win for the first time since June 20, at Pittsburgh. Angels 2, Indians 1 CLEVELAND — Jered Weaver earned his eighth straight win as Mark Trumbo doubled home two runs and the Angels defeated the Indians. Weaver (14-4) gave up one run over seven innings — a home run by Matt LaPorta in the seventh — and lowered his ERA to 1.79, best in the majors. Scott Downs worked the eighth for the Angels. Jordan Walden, who blew the save Monday night when Cleveland scored twice in the ninth to win
3-2, earned his 24th save in 31 chances. Red Sox 13, Royals 9 BOSTON — David Ortiz had four hits and five RBIs, and Dustin Pedroia had four of Boston’s 16 hits to lead the Red Sox to a victory over the Royals, their 18th win in 22 games. Hours after the teams took a 1-1 pitcher’s duel into the 14th inning and finished up at 1:59 a.m., they combined for 31 hits and 22 runs against nine pitchers — including Royals outfielder Mitch Maier, who threw a scoreless inning. Tigers 5, White Sox 4 CHICAGO — Justin Verlander got his 14th win and Wilson Betemit had a two-out, go-ahead single in the eighth inning as the Tigers beat the White Sox and increased their lead in the AL Central. Verlander (14-5), beaten by the White Sox 11 days ago in Detroit, allowed four runs and seven hits in eight innings, including two-run homers to Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko.

Any person who occupies the property pursuant to a rental agreement entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2007, may, after receiving the notice of sale, terminate the rental agreement upon ten (10) days' written notice to the landlord. Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the rental agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If you are a tenant and have any questions about your legal rights, please consult an attorney. Although not required by statute, any and all bidders and purchasers at sale should understand that the property described in the subject foreclosure proceeding may or may not contain a structure of any kind. The Substitute Trustee in this matter makes no representation or warranty as to the type or existence of a structure situated on the subject property or whether or not said structure has been affixed in any way. Likewise, Substitute Trustee makes no warranties or representations of any kind as to whether title to the mobile/manufactured home(s) on the subject property, if any, has been properly cancelled or whether there are any outstanding liens thereon.

The right side is visibly larger (slightly) than the left. Any information on possible causes would be greatly appreciated. Dear Reader: Without being able to examine you, I cannot begin to guess the cause. It may simply be a normal bony protrusion. Have you lost weight recently? If so, the bump may have always been there, but is now more pronounced because the excess fat and tissue have diminished. It could also be the result of an injury, medical condition such as Paget’s disease of the bone, cancer or more. Given that you don’t remember injuring yourself and it doesn’t appear to be causing any pain or other symptoms, it is likely a normal bone growth. Talk to your physician and request an X-ray just to be sure. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr.Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Confucius said, “You can successfully force people to follow a certain course, but you cannot force them to understand it.” At the bridge table, when you need input from your partner, you hope that he understands what you want. Look at the North hand. Your partner opens one spade, you raise to two spades, and he rebids three diamonds. What would you do now? Why? After one spade — two spades, the opener usually passes or jumps to four spades. If he does anything else, he expresses an interest in trying to get to game. When he bids a new suit, he is asking the responder not to worry so much about his point count, but to look at the two bid suits. With good holdings in those suits, the

the ruffing value in diamonds. North should bid four spades. West will probably start with three rounds of hearts. After ruffing the last of those, how should South continue? South has five losers in his hand: two hearts, two diamonds and one club. He must ruff two diamonds on the board. He leads a diamond to dummy's king, plays a diamond to his ace, and ruffs a diamond with dummy's spade nine, so that East cannot overruff. Back to hand with a spade, declarer ruffs his last diamond with the spade king, draws trumps, and claims.

However, I am concerned about your bloating and constipation issues, especially given your family history of colon cancer. You don’t give me your age, gender or any other medical history. How long have the bloating and constipation been an issue? Have you talked to your physician about your concerns? Have you had a colonoscopy? Do you have any other health concerns or medical conditions? Do you take any over-the-counter or prescription medications? Constipation can be the result of benign causes, such as poor diet, lack of exercise or diet modification; moderate health concerns, such as obesity or irritable bowel syndrome; and serious conditions, such as colon cancer. I urge you to speak with your physician. An examination, blood work and testing may be ordered. A referral to a gastroenterologist may be appropriate. Readers who are interested in learning more can order my Health Reports “A Strategy for Losing Weight: An Introduction to the No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Constipation and Diarrhea” by sending a self-addressed, stamped No. 10 envelope and a $2 U.S. check or money order for each report to Dr. Peter Gott, P.O.

Dear Dr. Gott: I cannot thank you enough for the inspiration to lose weight. I started a lifestyle change a month ago and I’ve lost 15 pounds. I feel so much better, but I’m struggling with bowel movements. I eat lots of fresh veggies and no fried foods, sugar, potatoes or white rice. DR. PETER The problem was that my GOTT bowels didn’t move on a regular basis. After I ate, I felt bloated and was miserable for days sometimes. I found a colon cleanser at my local health food store and now take one capsule twice a day and feel incredible, but the packaging doesn’t recommend taking it for more than a week or so. I have a family history of colon cancer. My mother and two of her three siblings died of colon cancer. I also just found out that five of my grandfather’s siblings died of colon cancer (he died at 91 of natural causes). I’m scared to death of getting it and want to keep my colon clean without hurting myself. Are colon cleansers harmful if I take the ones from the health food store that have all-natural products, especially if I take them over a long period of time? I feel incredible when I have two or more movements a day. I haven’t felt this good in over 10 years. Dear Reader: Congratulations on your weight loss.

Las Vegas ski area promising expansion LAS VEGAS (AP) — A ski area near Las Vegas has submitted plans to the U.S. Forest Service for a big expansion of ski trails, chair lifts and lodge facilities on a mountain about 45 miles northwest of Las Vegas, a federal official said Tuesday. The proposals announced by the Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort would remake the Mount Charleston ski area from a modest 70 acres with 11 trails and four lifts into a sprawling 500-acre facility
with 50 trails served by 10 lifts. Stephanie Phillips, a forest supervisor with the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, said the company has approval to begin some improvements immediately. But she said any plans that would disturb forest area or result in permanent facilities will require National Environmental Policy Act review. Approvals for some elements of the 12-year, $35 million plan could take several
years, The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Tuesday. A company statement released Monday outlines ambitious plans that include more parking, increased snowmaking and improved guest facilities that meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards. Stickelman said in the statement that snowmaking has been increased since last summer, with a nearly fourfold increase in the capacity
of a snowmaking pond to 7.5 million gallons of water. With heavy snowfall last winter, the pond is full, Stickelman said. By opening day, he promised a new home for an expanded youth ski school and beginner programs, additional base lodge outdoor seating, and more secure ski and snowboard storage. “Immediately, we’re tackling the installation of electricity on top of Chair 1, which will run five additional high-
efficiency snowmaking guns,” he said. “This means that on opening day we will be positioned to create top-to-bottom powder on every run. It’s exciting, and yet is only the start of the area’s transformation.” Phillips said more extensive plans would trigger NEPA assessments that could take up to 18 months to complete. The resort sits at 8,510 feet above sea level on an 11,918foot mountain that is usually snow-capped in winter and
visible from the Las Vegas Strip. The ski area opened in 1963 and operates under a federal special use permit. It attracts southern Nevada snow sports enthusiasts who might otherwise head to larger resorts in Southern California or Utah. Utah-based Powdr Corp. acquired the Las Vegas facility in 2003, adding it to holdings that also include Park City, Utah, Killington, Vt., Mount Bachelor, Ore., and Copper Mountain, Colo.

WEATHER UNDERGROUND’S NATIONAL WEATHER A low pressure system over the Dakotas will continue to strengthen and advance eastward Wednesday, producing widely scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes southwestward through the Central Plains. In particular, there is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the Upper Mississippi River Valley and Central Plains. These storms are possible producing severe hail and damaging winds Wednesday afternoon and evening. In the East, a cold front is expected to become nearly stationary over the Carolinas and Southeast Wednesday and Thursday. Showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop along and south of the frontal boundary. The Northeast, however, will dry out by Wednesday morning, except far northern Maine. High pressure will build after the low pressure system, providing mostly sunny skies with highs ranging from upper 70s to upper 80s. Little relief is anticipated from the recent heat across much of the southern Great Plains and Southwest. Temperatures are expected to climb back to the upper 90s and 100s once again with locally higher readings. A temporary relief is possible as the monsoonal showers and thunderstorms occur. Otherwise, it will remain hot over the next few days.

Southern Conference football coaches pick ASU ASU report
In two extremely close votes, the Southern Conference’s football coaches picked Appalachian State University to edge Georgia Southern for the 2011 SoCon football championship while the league’s media tabbed GSU as a narrow favorite over Appalachian, the conference announced on Tuesday. Appalachian beat out Georgia Southern by one point for the top spot in the coaches’ preseason poll. ASU received 5-of8 possible first-place votes in the balloting with GSU getting three first-place nods. Coach-
es were not permitted to vote for their own teams. After the Mountaineers and Eagles, Wofford, Chattanooga (who received the final firstplace vote), Elon, Furman, Samford, The Citadel and Western Carolina rounded out the poll. The media vote was also tight, with Georgia Southern edging Appalachian by a mere five points, which is the SoCon media’s closest preseason vote since ASU topped Marshall by six points in 1996. Fifteen media members picked GSU to win its first SoCon title since 2004 with 13 favoring the Mountaineers and two picking
Wofford. The Terriers placed third in the media voting, followed by UTC, Furman, Elon, Samford, Western Carolina and The Citadel. The SoCon coaches also voted for preseason all-conference teams and Appalachian was respresented by 10 players holding down 11 positions on the first and second teams. Quarterback DeAndre Presley headlines five Mountaineers on the first team, joined by offensive lineman Orry Frye , tight end Ben Jorden , defensive lineman John Rizor and defensive back Ed Gainey.
