Debt deal passes, averting crisis WASHINGTON (AP) — Crisis legislation to yank the nation past the threat of a historic financial default sped through the House Monday night, breaking weeks of deadlock.

The rare moment of cooperation turned celebratory when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords strode in for the first time since she was shot in the head nearly seven months ago.

The vote was 269-161, a scant day associated press ahead of the deadline for action. But rep. Gabrielle Giffords, d-ariz., all eyes were on Giffords, who drew surprised many in the Us House. thunderous applause as she walked

into the House chamber unannounced and cast her vote in favor of the bill.

A final Senate sign-off for the measure is virtually assured on today. Aside from raising the debt limit, the bill would slice federal spending by at least $2.1 trillion, and perhaps much more.

“If the bill were presented to the president, he would sign it,” the White House said, an understatement of enormous proportions.

After months of fierce struggle, the House’s top Republican and

Democratic leaders swung behind the bill, ratifying a deal sealed Sunday night with a phone call from House Speaker John Boehner to President Barack Obama.

Many Republicans contended the bill still would cut too little from federal spending; many Democrats said much too much. Still, Republican lawmakers supported the compromise, 174-66, while Democrats split, 95-95.

The measure would cut federal spending by at least $2.1 trillion over a decade — and possibly consider-

ably more — and would not require tax increases. The U.S. debt limit would rise by at least $2.1 trillion, tiding the Treasury over through the 2012 elections.

Rep. Howard Coble, a Republican whose 6th District includes part of Rowan County, said Monday afternoon that while he thinks the hype surrounding the debt-ceiling deadline was overblown, he would vote in favor a deal to avoid breaching it.

ALISBURY — Chipped paint and discolored walls.

Worn, dingy tiles and carpets. Rickety lockers. Sparse landscapes, lacking flowers.

That’s what Cornerstone Church Pastor Bill Godair and about a dozen church members saw Monday during a tour of Knox Middle School.

They came after teacher Joy Jenkins made a plea to the congregation Sunday, asking for help to revitalize the school.

“Funds and resources are limited in every direction,” she said. “There’s not enough money, not enough workers and not enough time to make the changes needed to transform Knox into a clean, safe learning environment.”

Jenkins’ request was answered by more than 200 church members who volunteered their time and skills.

About $3,000 was also collected for the cause.

Church member Orlando Zapata said he was moved by Jenkins’ plea.

“I thought she was very honest and sincere,” he said. “She showed that she wants the best for her students, she wants to inspire them to be all they can be.”

Zapata said he knows the church can make a difference at the school.

“We’ll use whatever resources we have to make it better for students,” he said. “I’ll do anything for school, clean windows, help clean walls.”

But the road to rebuilding Knox could be bumpy.

Godair expressed frustration Monday after the tour.

He asked about a report of

SALISBURY — After more than six hours of testimony Monday, the Rowan County Board of Commissioners will continue a hearing at 2 p.m. today about a proposed radio tower in Mount Ulla.

The board’s meeting room was nearly full at 4 p.m. when the hearing began, but members of the public hoping to speak were asked to wait until this afternoon.

After only two witnesses had testified by 8:30 p.m., Chairman Chad Mitchell allowed both sides to call their aviation expert witnesses out of turn.

The board then called for a recess around midnight.

Greely “Gig” Hilton, president of Davidson County Broadcasting, has applied for a conditional use permit to build a 1,200-foot broadcast tower on property owned by Richard L. and Dorcas Parker.

Opposing the request is a citizens’ group made up of the Miller Airpark Association, the Mount Ulla Historic Preservation Society and James and Marian Rollans.

At the hearing Monday, County Planning Director Ed Muire testified that planning staff determined the application is complete and valid.

Attorney Richard Reamer, who represents the citizens’ group, challenged that determination. He said parts of the application were turned in several months after it was submitted.

For a conditional-use permit to be approved in Rowan County, the proposed use must not create significant visual impacts for adjoining properties or passersby, detract significantly from the character of the area or result in hazardous safety conditions.

The county requires that a new broad-

Godair claims district officials are not fully disclosing the extent of the problems at the school.

“There are more problems that were not pointed out today,” he said. “We would love for everybody to be up front and straight with us.”

But Godair said that won’t stop his congregation from lending a hand.

“We’ll do as much as they’ll let us,” he said. “We want to do whatever we can do to help.”

Church member Rick Wilson, a self-employed general contractor, said it’s obvious the school hasn’t been kept up as evidenced by lack of painting and cleaning.

“I was surprised to see the lack of maintenance that has been done on the school over the years,” he said. “It looks like this one fell through the cracks.”

a hand-written sign points out how many parts of the school are in need of renovation and repairs.

Zapata said he, too, was surprised by the school’s condition.

He had been there before, but never noticed the disrepair.

Salisbury firefighters help mourning colleagues in Asheville SALISBURY — Four firefighters from the Salisbury Fire Department are providing emergency response coverage in Asheville after the death of a firefighter.

The Asheville Fire Department requested the support following the death of Capt.

Jeff Bowen, a 13-year veteran with the Asheville Fire Department.

“By offering this coverage for Asheville, members of their department can pay their last respects to their fallen brother without worry for fire response in their commu-

nity,” Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said.

Bowen died while responding to a four-alarm fire at the Biltmore Avenue Medical Office building in Asheville.

While searching for anyone left inside, Bowen was overcome by smoke and was rushed to the hospital. The tragedy marks the first time in nearly three decades that an Asheville firefighter has fallen in the line of duty.

Two Salisbury firefighters died in March 2008 while battling the Salisbury Millwork blaze.

Man accused of choking girlfriend in fight Patton was her boyfriend and they’d just had a fight in the kitchen.

A police report said the woman had visible injuries to her neck.

Patton was arrested Friday and charged with felony assault by strangulation, misdemeanor resist, delay, obstruct an officer and misdemeanor assault on an officer.

He has since been released from the Rowan County Detention Center under a $1,500 bond.

In July, Patton was one of three people arrested following an assault at a home at Brookfield Circle.

Three men jumped another man as he left a friend’s house. He is scheduled to appear in court regarding those offenses.

Patton was convicted four months ago of possession of a controlled substance.

SALISBURY — A Salisbury teen with a previous arrest involving gun possession was charged this weekend with carrying a concealed weapon following a drive-by shooting at a home on West Fisher Street.

Marquise Sentiall Robinson, 18, of 200 Harrell St., was charged with felony carrying a concealed gun.

A Salisbury Police officer responded Sunday morning to a call of shots fired in the 800 block of West Fisher Street. The officer was behind a “possible suspect” vehicle when the car pulled into a driveway at 1319 W. Bank St. abut 4:30 a.m., a department report said.

When the car stopped, the passenger jumped out and ran away, escaping from police. Robinson was driving the vehicle.

SALISBURY — Authorities charged a Salisbury woman with drug trafficking at Murphy’s Express convenience store following a disturbance call late Saturday night.

When a Salisbury Police officer arrived at the Freeland Drive gas station, he began talking with Jennifer Dawn Stamper. Police said Stamper tried to drive away when an officer looked up her name in his patrol car.

She was taken into custody and a plastic bag fell when her legs were uncrossed, said Capt. Shelia Lingle. The report says Stamper had 14 hydrocodone pills, 17 clonazapam pills, two oxycodones pills and six cariso- STAMPER prodol pills.

Stamper, 29, of 827 Glover Road, was charged with felony trafficking, three counts of possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor resisting an officer.

Board agrees to rename stretch of highway Portion of U.S. 601 to honor former congressman Earl Ruth B Y K ARISSA M INN kminn@salisburypost.com

SALISBURY — The Rowan County Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed Monday to name a portion of N.C. 601 in memory of former U.S. Rep. Earl B. Ruth.

The 5.15-mile stretch of highway from the Davie County line to the intersection with Jake Alexander Boulevard will now be named the Congressman Earl B. Ruth Memorial Highway.

County Manager Gary said the designation was requested by Mac Butner and Ruth’s family.

Commissioner Jim Sides made the motion to approve the renaming.

“There has been overwhelming support via emails and phone conversations in RUTH relation to this recognition,” Sides said.

Ford seconded the motion, adding that former Gov. Jim Holshouser, former Gov. Jim Martin, former Sen. Jim Broyill and others have contacted the county in support of the change.

The board unanimously approved the resolution, which includes a request to the North Carolina Department of Transportation to provide signage displaying the new name.

Ruth was born in Spencer on Feb. 7, 1916. He was a basketball standout at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and served for many years as a coach and dean of students at Catawba College. He was a member of Salisbury City Council.

A Republican, Ruth was elected to Congress representing the 8th District in 1968 and won reelection two times. After Richard Nixon resigned in the wake of Watergate, voters ousted Ruth and many other Republican congressmen in 1974. Ruth went on to serve as governor of American Samoa

Salisbury is host city for criterium race

SALISBURY — What Neal Boyd describes as NASCAR on two wheels is coming to Salisbury this week.

The 2011 Giordana Crossroads Classic organizer said the five-day cycling event will begin in Concord on Wednesday and wrap up in Salisbury’s City Park on Sunday.

“The goal of the event is really multidimensional, promoting and introducing bike racing to the masses, free entertainment for the community and provides an economic impact on the community,” said Boyd, the organizer of the event.

The Salisbury-Rowan County Convention and Visitors Bureau is the primary sponsor for this year’s event, which means three of the five races will be held here.

“We tailored the event this year to bring people to Salisbury even through there is a day in Statesville and a day in Concord,” Boyd said. “We are only promoting Salisbury hotels at the event.”

Though the sponsorship cost the visitor’s bureau $10,000, Executive Director James Meacham said he expects the economic impact will be worth it.

“We felt it was a good chance to put something on during what is historically a slow weekend in August,” he said.

Meacham said no local tax dollars go to support the event.

“Everything from our organization is generated by occupancy taxes,” he said. “So it’s all generated and paid for by visitor revenue.”

Between 300 and 350 bikers are expected to participate per day, Meacham said.

“That means more people in hotels, more people in restaurants and more people buying gas here,

Locals travel to SC to visit church that allowed slaves to be members Salisbury residents will be among those traveling to a church in South Carolina this weekend where their ancestors, who were slaves, were allowed to be members along with their white slave masters.

Mary Hardin, Gwendolyn Plummer, Sarah Stowe, Norris Currence, and Mary Charles Adams are the local residents who will take part in the ArmstrongCurrence Family Reunion beginning Friday at Bethel Presbyterian Church in York County, S.C. The reunion will include descendants of slaves and slave masters who will gather to celebrate the lives of slaves who were members of the 247-year old church, a press release said.

The event will be the first of its kind in the county and in many other parts of the south. A highlight will be the unveiling of a bronze

plaque near the church cemetery’s entrance. The plaque will serve as a permanent memorial for slaves who were baptized and inducted as members of Bethel, yet were not permitted after death to be buried in its rock-wall enclosed cemetery.

Although it was common for slaves to worship from the balconies of their owners’ churches, it was not often that they held membership, according to the press release. Bethel’s written rolls, which date back to the 1830s, reveal the baptisms and memberships of several “coloureds.” Prior to the Emancipation Proclamation, they were listed primarily by their first names; after slavery was abolished, those who remained at the church were listed by their full names.

Among those in the 1866 “coloured members” listing are Josiah Currence and his wife

,Matilda, born in Virginia around 1811 and 1812. Several freed Bethel slaves, including teenager Alexander Currence, left the church and organized Green Pond Methodist Episcopal Church in 1870; however, Josiah Currence remained at Bethel until his death in 1877. Likewise, it appears that Josiah’s son-in-law Abner (Adams) Armstrong remained at Bethel until his death (from measles) in 1870.

It is not known whether Josiah (whose wife, Matilda, was still alive in 1880) or any of the others who remained are buried on the church grounds, the press release said. Church historian Cary Grant says Bethel once hired a pilot to conduct a fly-over above the grounds to detect the presence of any slave grave markers. The pi-

Food Lion adding 54,000 square feet in Dunn distribution center expansion SALISBURY — Food Lion will expand its Dunn distribution center, which was damaged by a tornado in April, the company announced Monday.

The company plans to add approximately 54,000 square feet to increase storage space for refrigerated and frozen foods, according to a press release.

“Food Lion is proud to expand its business in North Carolina and in the Dunn community,” said Food Lion President Cathy Green Burns.

“Today’s announcement reinforces our commitment to North Carolina and enables us to continue to serve our customers in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states. We look forward to completing this project and establishing a greater presence in North Carolina.”

The expanded refrigerated and frozen section at the facility will provide additional storage for more than 4,000 dairy, meat and frozen food products.

“The expansion of this facility will further support storage capacity for Food Lion grocery stores,” said Gerry Greenleaf, vice president of distribution and transportation for Delhaize America. ”After the devastating tornado that struck North Carolina this spring, we evaluated opportunities to further enhance this facility as part of our rebuilding efforts. As our business grows and storage capacity needs increase, this was the right opportunity to expand this distribution center.”

The distribution center in Dunn first opened in 1987 and services 264 Food Lion stores, primarily located in North Carolina.

More than 700 people work at the Dunn center, which will be about 1.3 million square feet large after the expansion is complete early next year.

On average, the distribution facility ships more than 1.4 million cases of products each week and houses 12,800

Local political activist Mac Butner first proposed the designation in Ruth’s memory. A Republican, Butner worked as Ruth’s district administrative aide during his congressional years.

“I just felt this little recognition was long overdue,” Butner said Monday afternoon.

The Ruth family, including Jackie Burleson of Salisbury, joined the effort and appeared at the county commissioners’ meeting Monday.

Materials presented to commissioners included a letter of endorsement from former U.S. Sen. Jim Broyhill, who recalled that people in Salisbury continued to call Ruth “Coach” after he was elected to Congress.

ter after he was injured on Friday.

Mann served as an airborne infantry team leader with Company C, 1st Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team. He deployed to Iraq in August 2009 and received a number of medals, among them the National Defense Service Medal and the Army Commendation Medal with one oak leaf cluster.

SPENCER — Buck Steam Station released about 85,000 gallons of river water to the Yadkin River Friday during a brief wastewater discharge lasting about 40 minutes.

As the new combined cycle plant was filling a water filtration basin for the first time, a valve malfunctioned, allowing river water to flow backward to the Yadkin River, Duke Energy said in a press release.

The water released to the river contained no coal combustion byproducts or sanitary waste, Duke said. It was primarily river water.

The 85,000 gallons of river water contained fewer than two gallons of chemicals used in water filtration, according to the release.

When the situation was discovered, workers manually closed a valve. A modification will be installed to ensure a repair that will pre-

vent a similar incident in the future.

The N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources was notified. No environmental impact or fish mortality was observed from this event, Duke said.

State regulations require the owner or operator of any wastewater collection or treatment system — other than those systems that collect or treat municipal or domestic wastewater — issue a news release when a wastewater release of 1,000 gallons or more reaches surface waters.

Duke Energy Carolinas owns nuclear, coal-fired, natural gas and hydroelectric generation and provides about 19,000 megawatts of owned electric capacity to about 2.4 million customers in a 24,000-square-mile service area of North Carolina and South Carolina.

After slavery ended, two children of Abner and Mary Armstrong married two children of Henry and Viney Currence. A third Armstrong child married a child born to Viney and her second husband, William Adams. Many of the children of these marital bonds are buried in Green Pond Church Cemetery, the first burial ground for blacks in the CloverBethel area.

Another attempt to locate graves is planned, according to Bethel Cemetery Society President Dean McCrary.

For many reunion attendees, this will be a first visit to the Bethel community — an area that is now a part of Clover and Lake Wylie in the upper Piedmont of South Carolina. However, some of the seniors will be returning to a land where they were born. Local residents Stowe, Adams, and family historian Plummer were born and raised on a portion of a tract of land sold to their grandfather Alex Currence for $1,000 in 1903 by the daughter of slave owner Robert.

To date, it is not known who owned the Currence slaves. The Armstrongs were owned by South Carolina native Jesse Kingsbor-

Dear Amy: When my husband and I first moved in together a couple of years ago, my sister “Tandy” came over one day and asked if she could have a soda. I told her that she is family and does not have to ask — she can help herself to anything.

Now, whenever Tandy comes over she immediately raids the fridge and pantry!

She will drink six sodas in a visit and eat an entire bag of chips, leaving none for us.

Once she melted down a brick of expensive, imported cheese to make nachos, which she ended up wasting because she didn’t like the flavor of the cheese.

Tandy is eating us out of house and home!

I know I told her she could help herself, but I feel like she is taking advantage of my offer and being unreasonable.

Dear Sister: Do you really think this is about your sister’s inability to “pick up on social cues”?

Is your relationship with your sister so tender that you cannot say to her in the most sisterly way, “Tandy — you seriously need to dial it down. You are eating us out of house and home.”

If you don’t establish some reasonable boundaries now and show the ability to good-naturedly respond to behavior you don’t like, then you’re going to have a hard time managing your family down the road.

And if your husband isn’t permitted to express to a family member his own frustration, then you’re going to spend a lot of time in your marriage translating for him.

Dear Amy: I feel for “Devastated,” whose 18-year-old daughter left home to live with her boyfriend’s family.

Years ago our daughter decided to “walk up fool’s hill” at the tender age of 18.

Our minister told us that she would end up all right — though the process of getting there won’t be the way we envisioned it.

The minister was correct.

Eventually our daughter graduated from college with high honors and got her master’s degree; she is currently teaching high school.

She did it all on her own.

My advice to the woman is to hang in there. It’ll be a bumpy ride!

I just want you to know that I don’t want to go in that direction.”

FELLOWS PROGRAM TO END

The politics of teaching ore than 40 graduates of the Teaching Fellows program taught in the Rowan-Salisbury School System in 2009-10. How many of them would have gone into education — would have been able to — without the free college education the program gave them?

There’s no way to know. But the imminent phasing out of the Teaching Fellows program to save the state $13.5 million a year ends what has been an effective training and recruiting tool for the state. Once again, an innovative North Carolina program held up as a model for others is being dismantled. Sadly, this fall’s freshman class of fellows will be the last.

Back when the Teaching Fellows program started in 1986, North Carolina was in the early stages of a teacher shortage. The state needed to lift the profession in the eyes of prospective teachers and help them get college degrees. It worked. Through the years, the recruitment program has produced nearly 6,500 teachers. To repay their $26,000 scholarship, they are expected to teach in the state for four years. Competition for the slots is fierce. The scholastic profile of 2010 recipients included an average SAT score of 1186 and GPA of 4.3.

Now the Republican-led legislature is taking North Carolina in a new direction.

Instead of urging more people into the teaching field — even promoting lateral entry from other professions — education leaders have had to nudge some out because of shrinking budgets. Young people who require help becoming teachers need not apply.

The Teaching Fellow phase-out is not all about the budget. Bob Luebke, a senior policy analyst with the Civitas Institute, told The News & Observer some legislators were concerned that the Teaching Fellows Program was administered by the N.C. Public School Forum, a nonprofit group he called “a recruitment area” for the N.C. Association of Educators. A political undercurrent is at work here.

When Salisbury Post reporter Sarah Campbell interviewed local Teaching Fellows in January, she found them adjusting to changing budget realities. Katie King went to work at Corriher-Lipe Middle School, though she had hoped to teach elementary school. Linley Evans, a college junior, dropped her dance major in favor of a more practical consumer-sciences major.

They feel the call to teach, and they’re adjusting to economic realities. But no adjustment can change lawmakers’ politics.

Rowan-Salisbury is advertising about 30 openings for teachers on its website, so jobs have not completely evaporated. The influx of Teaching Fellows soon will, however — a $13.5 million-a-year “savings” that could cost the state hundreds of well-prepared teachers each year. “Teacher effectiveness” is the latest buzz phrase in education circles. Let’s make “legislator effectiveness” a slogan for the 2012 elections.

Common sense

(Or uncommon wisdom, as the case may be)

I bet deep down you still wish your mom would take you clothes shopping every August for the new school year.

ALEIGH — Butch Davis never seemed to recognize that the blood in the water was always his own.

His bosses and supporters never seemed to recognize that, no matter how many lawyers you hire, neither the laws of physics nor the laws of scandal are magically suspended at the Chapel Hill city limits.

The laws of scandal, always the same whether involving sports figures, politicians or celebrities, run someSCOTT thing like this: As long MOONEYHAM as blood is in the water, sharks will keep circling; the only way to stop the sharks is to stop the bleeding, or get out of the water.

Davis couldn’t or wouldn’t stop the bleeding because he never provided a full accounting of what he knew about the improprieties surrounding his football program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He wouldn’t say how much he paid the tutor under his personal employ, the same tutor accused of helping football players plagiarize papers.

He wouldn’t provide a plausible explanation of how he could be ignorant of the connections between longtime friend and former associate head coach John Blake and professional sports agents.

When fired, he had yet to turn over personal cell phone records that were only required to be turned over because he used that phone, rather than a university-provided phone, to conduct his business. He never said much about why he didn’t use that university-provided phone.

So the blood kept flowing.

His bosses and their bosses, after months of denial, finally removed him from the water. One of the bosses, Athletic Director Dick Baddour, announced that he would be stepping out too.

Sports pundits immediately jumped on Chancellor Holden Thorp, the man who took responsibility for the decision to fire Davis.

Why now, they asked, just weeks before the start of the football season?

Maybe because a university chancellor has to be concerned about more than a football program, things like the larger academic reputation of the university. And maybe because the scandal increasingly touched on that larger academic reputation, with revelations of a plagiarized paper that should have been caught long before it ever became an exhibit in an NCAA file or a court brief.

And what would the sports pundits, or the school’s football boosters, have said if the timing had been better, back in January, before the extent of this mess was put on a platter for all to see?

Objective students of scandal could (and did) predict the end result as early as last fall. Objectivity isn’t always easy when you’re the one charged with managing the scandal.

Now the clean-up begins.

One part should be examining whether UNC-Chapel Hill is doing all it should to truly educate its student-athletes in meaningful fields of endeavor and not just disciplines meant to keep them eligible for athletic competition.

Some critics will want more — more digging, more blood.

They aren’t likely to see much more.

Over the next few months, the red tinge to the water will start to fade.

The reluctant candidate If wife is on board, can Perry be far behind?

ENVER — Some wives don’t want their husbands to run for president — Alma Powell (Colin Powell) and Cheri Daniels (Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels).

Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry doesn’t have that problem. In an interview with me following a well-received address to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver, he said, “My wife is a nurse and the daughter of a country doctor. She sees CAL Obamacare THOMAS with the potential to devastate this country. ... She basically said, ‘Listen, I know you love your job and you’re comfortable there, but your country is in trouble and you need to get off the sideline and get in this game, serve your country and do your duty.’

“When someone you’ve known and been married to for 42-plus years (says that), it had a real impact on me. I had to go back and re-evaluate my consistent message that I don’t want to be president of the United States.”

If Anita Perry is onboard, can her husband be far behind?

The “reluctant” candidate sounds like he’s all but in: “Seventy days ago this was not on my radar screen. I was happy and comfortable being governor of the state of Texas, one of the greater economies there is in this country. I will let the record speak for itself on job creation and what we’ve done.”

Perry’s job creation record is formidable. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 32,000 new jobs were created in Texas in June, more than in any other state. Proving his policies were not a one-off, between June 2010 and June 2011, Texas added 220,000 new jobs, again more than the other “57 states,” as Barack Obama might say.

Perry sees the momentum that put the House back in Re-

publican control and also narrowed the Senate Democratic majority carrying over into the 2012 election: “I don’t see it out of the realm of possibility to pick up another 20 to 30 House seats and a majority of 60 Republican senators and a consistent conservative president to really make a difference.”

He doesn’t make the connection, but this sounds like a criticism of fellow Texan George W. Bush for not being consistently conservative enough as president when he enjoyed a Republican congressional majority.

Perry is no “let’s all get along” conservative. He wants to make a political difference, mentioning the revival of the 10th Amendment, which guarantees states’ rights, as the way to reduce encroaching federal power: “America is not going to move forward until we remove restrictions of

over-taxation, over-regulation and over-litigation on the job creators and free them so the jobs can be created. This president is trying to engage in class warfare and shooting high-powered bullets at people who have corporate jets, but the bullets pass through those wealthy people and hit bluecollar workers who rely upon those wealthy individuals who risk the capital to create the jobs.”

Supreme Court justices are Perry’s preferred way for rerouting the wrong direction he sees the country taking under President Obama. As president, he promises to name “strict constructionists” like Chief Justice John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.

Conservatives are nervous about whether any of the announced GOP candidates can defeat President Obama, who continues to slip in the polls (the latest Gallup Poll shows his approval has fallen to 40 percent). Are they fearful of repeating the Fred Thompson Effect? Thompson, the former Tennessee senator, who was a late addition to the 2008 presidential race, never seemed to have the stomach for it, nor did his wife. Perry tells me, “I wouldn’t get in if I didn’t have the stomach for it. Running three times for governor of Texas, six times statewide, if I step in, they can bet it will be all-in. There will be plenty of vinegar and whatever else needs to be in the recipe.”

In a presidential straw poll conducted at the Western Conservative Summit Perry came in second to Herman Cain, but since the politically inexperienced Cain won’t win the nomination, Perry’s finish demonstrates strength among at least some conservatives.

Perry says he’ll announce something “by the end of summer.” Meteorologically, that’s Sept. 23. Politically, it sounds as if he’s already decided to run.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Historical fact and teabagger fiction Given that the inconsistencies, mistruths and outright lies of the far-right proposal for a balanced budget amendment are too numerous to count, I will only focus this letter on one of the most egregious violations of fact — namely, the willingness to invoke the memory of the founders when arguing the validity of such an amendment.

The historical reality is that the founders had the wisdom, forethought and real-world experience to recognize the importance of incurring public debts in times of crisis and opportunity. Had the founders not incurred debts during the revolution, our current constitutional republic would not have come to fruition. The founders again invoked the right to incur public debt when they negotiated the Louisiana Purchase and defended the new republic from invasion during the War of 1812.

I do not mean to suggest that these historical events equate to our current crisis

(the founders were certainly not Keynesians, nor were they privy to the concept of the modern welfare state), but it is important that we respect the wisdom of the founders without attempting to confine them to our own restrictive political ideologies (right, left or otherwise).

Thanks for effort The Salisbury Symphony wants to thank everyone who voted for the Pepsi RefreshEverything grant during the month of July. We had hoped to win $10,000 to help pay for teachers and new instruments for the After-School Strings program. We did not finish in the top-15, so we did not garner the grant. But we still feel like winners, knowing our community supports arts education! Thank you to all who helped!

SALISBURY — Authorities said a Cleveland man who tried to cut a Salisbury man this weekend with a machete was upset over a former girlfriend, police say.

According to a Salisbury Police report, Harvey Lee Boyd, 51, of 3425 Chenault Road, was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury after was accused of cut ting Howard BOYD T h o m a s Lowe, of 1220 Crosby St. Boyd was arrested at a home on Mitchell Avenue in Salisbury.

The report said Lowe was helping Boyd’s former girlfriend move from a home on Fulton Street. The woman stumbled off the porch and was bruised. Boyd asked why Lowe didn’t help the woman.

Boyd began yelling and left, but he soon returned on a bicycle. He pulled a machete out of his backpack and approached Lowe.

Lowe ran to several houses in the neighborhood asking people to call police. Lowe grabbed at the machete and was cut on the thumb by the blade, police Capt. Shelia Lingle said.

Lingle indicated Lowe refused medical treatment despite possibly needing stitches. He was treated by emergency services.

Boyd has been previously convicted of numerous driving while impaired incidents and drug possession.

Boyd remains in the Rowan County jail under a $1,500 bond.

FROM 1a was done; the end of the world would not have occurred Aug. 3,” Coble said. “Still, I don’t want to diminish the importance of this. ... We don’t want to skate around this issue of possibly having our credit rating diminished.”

“It’s not a perfect piece of

legislation, but very rarely do you see perfect legislation drawn up here,” he said. “But I’d say it’s more good than bad.”

One aspect Coble does like is the possibility Congress could vote on a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. If approved, that amendment would go to the states, where 38 legislatures would have to pass it.

Rodney Nunn, a local house painter and a member of Cornerstone Church, takes a tour of Knox Middle School to assess the amount of work needed to spruce it up before the start of the upcoming school year.

KNOX FROM 1a “Pressure washing, mopping and scrubbing are definitely on our list of things,” he said. “We need new carpet, new tiles and new whiteboards.”

Davis said he also hopes to turn faded red, teal and beige walls throughout the school to “Knox blue.”

“We need painters, we need that extra muscle,” he said.

And Davis wants to see the exterior go from dull to vibrant.

“We just need someone with a green thumb to do some weeding and planting,” he said.

When Davis and Jenkins, both award-winning educators, started at the school July 1 they made it their mission to do an Extreme

TOWER FROM 1a cast tower should limit visual impacts to historical properties and the North Carolina Scenic Byway, which is located near the Parkers’ property.

The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office has determined that the tower would not adversely affect historic properties in the area.

But Muire said the application “does not adequately address how the visual impacts of the proposed tower will be limited considering its visibility along the Millbridge Scenic Byway.”

Attorney Stephen Holton, who represents Davidson County Broadcasting, called Hilton as his first witness.

During his testimony, Hilton said Davidson County Broadcasting wants to build the new tower to increase the coverage area of its WWLV station in Lexington, serve more people and reduce interference.

The county requires new broadcast tower applicants to first explore co-locating their

“We believe in an invitational environment,” Davis said. “If it looks good, if it feels good, kids will actually do better.”

School board member Bryce Beard said the district is working hard to get Knox up to par.

“There is a lot to do here,” he said after the tour Monday. “We are fully aware of the challenges and James Davis is owning those challenges.

“We are going full court press to get the school as good as we can get it.”

As the Cornerstone congregation stands ready to help, Jenkins hopes their example will spur others to join efforts to propel the school to better days.

“If we can transform this into a new school why not?” she said.

antennas on existing towers.

“You want to own this tower, don’t you?” Reamer asked Hilton during cross-examination. “You don’t want to co-locate.”

“I’d love to locate on another tower, because it’s a lot less expensive than spending the money to build one,” Hilton said.

He said he sent multiple letters to owners of Rowan County towers, including the former WFMX tower owned by American Tower in the Cool Springs community, about co-location and did not receive any responses.

Attorney Anthony Fox, who represents the county on this issue, said the county requires an effort — not a desire — to co-locate.

Reamer also asked Hilton if the application was the same, aside from the tower height, as the one he submitted to the county in 2005.

Hilton replied that the site plan, fall zone and other aspects are also different in the 2010 application.

Two aviation experts testified that the tower would not create a safety hazard, but two more testified that it would.

Rep. Mel Watt, a Democrat whose 12th District also includes part of Rowan, joined was among six of North Carolina’s Democratic representatives who voted against the bill. Heath Shuler, who represents Western North Carolina, voted for the bill.

Five of the state’s six Republican delegates voted for the bill. Virginia Foxx, whose 5th District includes Davie County, voted against the bill.

U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican who represents North Carolina along with Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagen, released a statement calling the House vote history-making.

“This common-sense, but long overdue, action was absolutely vital to stop the practice of ‘spend and borrow’ that has been commonplace for so long in Washington,” Burr said. “By passing this proposal, a strong precedent was set that any increase in the debt must be R131219

CONTINUED accompanied by equal cuts in spending.”

“The legislation will solve this debt crisis and help get the American people back to work,” Boehner said at a news conference a few hours before the vote.

The Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, was far less effusive. “I’m not happy with it, but I’m proud of some of the accomplishments in it.

That’s why I’m voting for it.”

So, too, many of the firstterm Republicans whose election in 2010 handed the GOP control of the House and set the federal government on a new, more conservative course.

She greeted some fellow lawmakers who crowded around her and blew kisses to others, beaming the whole while. Her hair was dark and close cropped and she wore glasses — nothing like the image America had of her six months ago when she was shot while greeting constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson.

She did not speak with reporters.

As for the legislation, after months of wrangling over a deal, there was little time left for lawmakers to decide how to vote.

The White House dispatched Vice President Joe Biden to the Capitol to lobby recalcitrant Democrats in both houses.

“They expressed all their frustration,” he conceded after a session with lawmakers of his party in the House.

He said the deal “has one overwhelming redeeming feature” — postponing the next debt limit battle until 2013 and putting the current fight behind. “We have to get this out of the way to get to the issue of growing the economy,” he said.

Republicans lobbied their rank and file as well, and the results were far more positive for them than a week ago when they were forced to delay a vote on an earlier measure.

CALLED TO SERVE

VA Chaplain Ryan Wagers feels blessed to care for veterans

BY JOANIE MORRIS For the Salisbury Post

SALISBURY — Chaplain Ryan E. Wagers, chief of Chaplain Services at the W.G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center, admits he fell into his passion by accident.

“I was pastoring at a Baptist church in Nashville,” Wagers said at his office at the VA. He has a master’s degree, but decided to get his doctorate. In the process of finding out what he needed to get that higher degree, he discovered he needed several units of clinical pastoral education — skills in counseling in a medical setting. The programs are generally run through the Veterans Association and secular institutions operated out of centers.

“In medical Nashville, the CPE units were available at the VA” Wagers describes the education as a marrying together of pastoral care with psychiatry and the medical environment. The idea is to address not only physical, emotional and mental distress at hospitals, but also spiritual distress.

“The whole person comes to the hospital to receive holistic care,” Wagers said. It’s not just parts of a person that come to a hospital. That patient can’t leave the spiritual part at home, he adds. “It isn’t just about physical scars, but emotional, spiritual and mental scars as well. It’s caring for the whole person.”

Wagers went through the 12-week program beginning in January 2000 and came out with a new understanding of what he was called to do.

“It pricked a place in my heart that hadn’t been pricked in a long time,” Wagers said of the 12 weeks he spent at the VA hospital in Tennessee. “I found a calling caring for veterans.”

Wagers put his doctorate on hold and began working more fully in the clinical pastoral care units at the VA. He took a one-year residency after his 12-week program was up, and for four years renewed the residency before taking his place among VA chaplains across the nation.

He gets emotional when talking about the blessing he has been given.

“It’s a wonderful thing to serve people who are willing to die for you,” he said, his voice breaking slightly as he talked about his job. “It’s a real blessing for me to be able to do that.”

Though he’s never served in the military, Wagers comes from a patriotic family. His father and grandfather both served in the Air Force, and

“It’s a wonderful thing to serve people who are willing to die for you.”

RYAN WAGERS Chief of Chaplain Services at the Hefner VA

Wagers put off work on his doctorate to work for the VA. his maternal grandfather served in the Army.

“This was kind of a way to say ‘Thank you’ to them as well,” Wagers said. Serving as a chaplain at the VA, he said, has provided him with so much more than he and his colleagues provide the veterans.

“I have found such a family here, no matter what station I go to,” he said.

A typical day for Wagers — and the other three chaplains who serve at the Salisbury VA Medical Center — begins by turning on his computer and fielding consultations. Consultations are requests from doctors and providers at the VA for a chaplain to see a patient.

One misconception some may have about the VA chaplains is that they are preachers.

“We are not preachers,”

Wagers said. While they are religious men and women, their job isn’t to minister to those who ask for their services. “We are skilled spiritual care providers.”

His job, he said, is “to support the veteran in what brings meaning and purpose to their life.” This can be through their family, God, hobbies, pets and more. And all veterans have a priority list of importance, he says. And whether they believe in God or not, Wagers and his colleagues are there for them.

“Every VA chaplain in the nation does the same thing,” Wagers said. “Our ultimate goal is to support the veterans and our staff as they serve the veterans.”

His role on federal property is simple.

“Yes, I’m Baptist, but when I come on federal property, I support all veterans,” he said.

In addition to the many things a regular chaplain does — church and other religious services — a VA chaplain also serves on health care teams, works as a patient advocate, performs veteran family counseling, provides readjustment support for veterans coming back from overseas and runs support groups. They

are not only at the hospital for the veterans. Staff members at the hospital can also take advantage of the services chaplains offer.

“They become family to the veterans,” Wagers said. When a veteran dies after spending years coming and going — or even living at the VA — staff members become bonded with them. “It’s not uncommon to see staff as griefstricken as family because they’ve been caring for that veteran since they came home.”

All of these things combined give Wagers a sense of purpose at the VA and in his life. It was his “calling” and he didn’t even know it when he stumbled into it.

“You think about what you’re called to do,” he said.

“It is so wonderful to be able to do what you love. It brings great meaning to my life.

“This is what I was supposed to do,” Wagers said, gesturing to the air around him.

“I don’t want to waste anymore time from serving veterans. … I didn’t have to be a veteran to serve veterans.”

Army Pvt. John R. Honeycutt has graduated from One Station Unit Training (OSUT) at Fort Leonard Wood, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. The course of instruction included basic military training and advanced individual training (AIT).

The basic military trainee received instruction in drill and ceremonies, weapons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, physical fitness, first aid, and Army history and traditions.

During AIT, the soldier completed the Combat Engineer Course to perform basic combat construction and rigging operations; operate light and heavy engineer wheeled and armor tracked vehicles while participating in combat mobility, countermobility and survivability operations; assist in assembly and maintenance of military standard float and fixed bridges; prepare, install and prime firing systems for demolition and explosives; arm, disarm and install anti-personnel and anti-tank mines, locate mines by visual means or with mine detector; and recognize and neutralize land mines, firing devices and booby traps.

Honeycutt is a combat engineer assigned at Fort Hood, Texas. The son of Billy A. and Lisa T. Honeycutt of Landis, the private is a 2010 graduate of South Rowan High School, Landis.

West Point plans new $131M barrack WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — The U.S. Military Academy has plans to ease overcrowding in West Point’s cadet barracks.

Col. Mark Tarsa, the academy’s garrison commander, tells the Times Herald-Record of Middletown that West Point plans to start construction on a $131 million barrack building in 2013.

He says 40 percent of the Corps of Cadets has three people sleeping in a two-person room.

Overcrowding can be unhealthy as well as uncomfortable. The newspaper reports that last year, former commandant Maj. Gen. Bill Rapp said overcrowding led to a diarrhea outbreak that kept dozens of cadets out of class.

Army dedicates Bragg headquarters FORT BRAGG (AP) — The Army has dedicated a new building to serve as the combined headquarters of Forces Command and U.S. Army Reserve Command at Fort Bragg.

The Fayetteville Observer reported that the headquarters building already is being used but was dedicated Monday in memory of Gen. George C. Marshall, the Army chief of staff during World War II. It’s one of the biggest projects to come from the base realignment and closure law.

That law directed that the two commands relocate from Fort McPherson in Atlanta to Fort Bragg no later than Sept. 15. The commands bring more generals and high-paying military and civilian jobs.

The building will house about 2,400 soldiers and civilians.

In Afghanistan, plan sought for US exit in Oct. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan has been ordered to submit a plan by mid-October for the initial withdrawal of American troops, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday. That plan may hinge in part on whether the latest surge in attacks continues through the holy month of Ramadan.

Commanders are hearing that Taliban leaders might leave their fighters in the country to try to regain lost ground during the Islamic holy period that begins Monday, rather than crossing the border to Pakistan, said Adm. Mike Mullen, the Joint Chiefs chairman.

Mullen, who visited U.S. outposts along Afghanistan’s eastern border on Sunday, also said U.S. troops are making progress in their renewed campaign against Haqqani network insurgents in havens in Pakistan.

And he issued another warning that Islamabad must step up its efforts to root out those militants.

Speaking to reporters traveling with him in Afghanistan, Mullen said Marine Gen. John Allen, who

has just taken over as top U.S. commander here, needs time to evaluate the combat, training and other requirements before presenting a detailed withdrawal plan.

Mullen’s comments for the first time laid out a deadline for Allen to structure the planned withdrawal of 10,000 U.S. troops by the end of the year, as announced by President Barack Obama.

“The next month will be very telling,” said Mullen, noting that often the Taliban leaders will travel back to Pakistan for Ramadan. It’s unclear at this point what they will do, or if there will be any decline in the fighting.

U.S. military leaders have said they plan to shift resources and perhaps some troops to the eastern border in the coming months, and Mullen said commanders he met with along the eastern border said the strategy is working.

“The overall goal has been to make it much more difficult for the Haqqani network to penetrate directly in what has previously been called this jet stream between Pak-

istan, right through Khost into Kabul, and it is more difficult,” Mullen said during a news conference shortly after he returned from the volatile border. “That will clearly continue to be the case.”

At the same time, however, a senior NATO military official said coalition forces will likely never eliminate the havens. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive issues, said that instead the goal is to intensify U.S. efforts while building the Afghan forces so that they can take over the battle for their own security there.

U.S. officials have been pressing Pakistan to go after Haqqani militants and other fighters who routinely launch attacks into Afghanistan from Pakistan. But relations with Islamabad have frayed, particularly after the U.S. raid in May that killed Osama bin Laden.

In recent weeks, the Obama administration moved to delay $800 million in aid to Pakistan, to put further pressure on the government, which has been reluctant to push into North Waziristan and go after the

Haqqani network.

Acknowledging the ongoing frustration with Islamabad, Mullen said Sunday that the U.S. will continue to push for action, “but I would be hard pressed to tell you when it’s going to happen.”

On Ramadan, one Western official said that while Taliban leaders have pushed for an increase in violence through the holy month, information suggests there will be some spikes but that they don’t have the ability to carry off a sustained surge. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said some leaders and fighters had already left Afghanistan to cross the border into Pakistan, but it is too soon to tell how many may stay.

Mullen, who arrived Friday in Afghanistan, met Saturday with commanders in southern Afghanistan.

He said that so far commanders are saying they are seeing some signs of improved security, but his comments came amid a series of spectacular deadly attacks across

the south, including a bombing Sunday outside the main gate of the police headquarters in the southern Afghan city of Lashkar Gah. The suicide bomber killed at least 11 people in a city where Afghans had only recently taken control of security.

That attack comes on the heels of bombings in the southern province of Uruzgan that killed at least 19 people, and the assassination of Kandahar’s mayor.

The mayor was the third southern Afghan leader to be killed in the last three weeks.

There are nearly 100,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Under Obama’s troop withdrawal plan, 10,000 U.S. troops will leave Afghanistan by the end of the year, and another 23,000 by the end of next summer.

A key to the withdrawal is the ongoing effort to train Afghan forces so they can take control of their own security. Mullen said that while training remains a top priority, and commanders would like to accelerate it, it’s not clear how possible that will be over the coming months.

Linza rolling Rowan’s Keegan Linza thriving in Bristol/2C

Associated Press

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams was ready for change after last year’s miserable season. Turns out, he found it without leaving the Panthers.

Williams re-signed with the Panthers shortly after NFL free-agency began, signing a five-year deal worth $43 million. Williams said at Panthers camp he had other teams willing to offer as much, but felt

the atmosphere had dramatically improved at Carolina.

“I know one thing, we’re not going to be the team we were last year,” he said. “We all have that bitter taste in our mouths and we want to get it out.”

That started, Williams made clear, with the hiring of new coach Ron Rivera to replace longtime leader John Fox. The ‘Is what it is,’ is no more,” said Williams, referring to one of Fox’s frequent say-

Anderson reaches deal with Carolina

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Former Arizona quarterback Derek Anderson is ready to teach the Carolina Panthers’ young quarterbacks. He said Monday night that he’s ready to compete for the starting job.

Anderson reached a deal with the Panthers and arrived on the field midway through Carolina’s practice Monday night. Like other free agents, Anderson won’t

start practicing until Thursday per collective bargaining rules. But after getting cut by the Cardinals soon after the NFL lockout ended, Anderson was happy to have a job.

“I don’t think anybody knows the answer to what’s going to go on the next four or five weeks,” Anderson said.

“Every training camp I always go into like I’m going to play. I think that’s what kept me going, I step in there and say, ‘OK, I’m going to play,’

West likes Mike Gurley will be all-star assistant

BY MIKE LONDON mlondon@salisburypost.com

MOUNT ULLA — The call came from Phil Weaver, director of the East-West games for the North Carolina Coaches Association.

On the other end was West Rowan boys basketball coach Mike Gurley, and Weaver was asking if he’d consider being the West team’s assistant coach for next summer’s allstar game in Greensboro.

Gurley has an enviable varsity head-coaching record of 415-124, carved out in 19 seasons in Lexington and Mount Ulla — not to mention three state-championship rings — so there had to be two seconds or so of disappointment. He wouldn’t be human if there hadn’t been.

Wasn’t this a little bit like “Hoosiers” director David Anspaugh calling up Gene Hackman and wondering if he’d be interested in playing the supporting role of shaky assistant Shooter Flatch rather than starring as heroic head coach Norman Dale?

Thoughts had to race through Gurley’s shaved head along the lines of: “Assistant?

Really? Well, who the heck will I be assisting — Mike Krzyzewski?”

Such feelings were fleet-

West rowan’s Mike Gurley has compiled a 415-124 record throughout his 19-year coaching career. ing. The East-West All-Star Game is still the East-West All-Star Game, and the pool of West coaches is every coach in the Piedmont and mountains. It’s an honor — a huge one — to be asked to be half of the two-man staff.

So Gurley’s answer to Weaver was yes — an enthusiastic, emphatic yes.

“Leroy Holden and Bo Brickels coached in the EastWest, and I’d point at those two men as the biggest influences on my life other than my own dad,” Gurley explained. “Now my name will be there with theirs and with guys like Howard West and Dave Price that I’ve looked up to and admired. The East-

Ankiel hurts Braves Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rick Ankiel hit Nationals 5 two home Braves 3 runs, and Livan Hernandez allowed one run over six innings and drove in a run to lead the Washington Nationals to a 5-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Monday night.

Ankiel led off the bottom of the first with a homer to center field. It was the second time this season the Nationals’ opening hitter homered — Jayson Werth did so on June 16 against St. Louis.

His homer in the fifth inning landed deep in the second deck in left. It was the fifth multihomer game of his career, and the solo shots gave Ankiel five home runs this season.

Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla homered twice, in the second and ninth innings, giving him 22 this season. Uggla went 3 for 4, extending his career-long hitting streak to 23 games.

Hernandez (6-10) allowed six hits, struck out three, and did not walk a batter as the Nationals won their third straight. Drew Storen pitched the ninth for his 27th save.

Jair Jurrjens (12-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings, his first loss in eight starts.

Center fielder Michael Bourn made his first appearance for the Braves after being acquired from Houston on Sunday.

“I think he’s going to fit in right away with our group of guys,” Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said before the

game.

Bourn, batting l e a d o f f , ANKIEL got his first hit as a Brave with a single on the second pitch of the game.

Bourn finished 1 for 4.

Werth led off the bottom of the second with a double and advanced to third on a groundout. With two outs, Atlanta intentionally walked No. 8 hitter Wilson Ramos to face Hernandez, who slapped an opposite-field single to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead.

The Nationals scored twice in the sixth inning.

Laynce Nix drove in the first run with a single, and Werth scored from third on a fielder’s choice groundout by Ian Desmond.

West is for the basketball lifers, the coaches that love the game and have put heart and soul into it, and to be part of that is very humbling. Absolutely, this is one heck of an honor.”

Gurley’s not just spouting politically correct phrases.

For one thing, he understands assistant coaches

aren’t just well-dressed mannequins. They can make a difference — and they have made a difference for his teams.

“Willie Ellis will be going into his 15th season with me this year, and that’s loyalty,” Gurley said. “Robert Hairston was always an equal and a friend. Jim Snyder was my as-

sistant in Lexington, and he ran for governor. Brian Perry was my assistant, and now he’s got his own program at Carson.

“Ken Clarke, Jerry Sherrill, Keith Sherrill, K.P. Parks — loyal guys. They’ve made me better, made our kids bet-

Edwards ponders his 2012

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Carl Edwards is under no obligation to publicly discuss his ongoing contract negotiations or to hurry his decision along.

That doesn’t mean the NASCAR community isn’t frustrated with the wait.

Edwards continued to hold the industry hostage all weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the most frequent topic of conversation was his indecision on where he’ll drive next season. In the final year of his contract with Roush Fenway Racing, he’s refused to indicate if he has any desire to return to that team or if he’ll jump ship for Joe Gibbs Racing.

As the Sprint Cup Series points leader privately ponders his future, most everyone else seems unable to discuss anything else.

There’s no talk of Danica Patrick, who is in the final stages of putting together her full-time NASCAR plan.

Patrick is apparently going to run a full Nationwide schedule with JR Motorsports, and run a limited Sprint Cup schedule with Tony Stewart in preparation for an eventual full Cup schedule.

Her defection from IndyCar will be a monstrous coup for NASCAR, but the spotlight is instead stuck on Edwards.

Nobody is hounding Clint Bowyer, the next best available driver in line behind Edwards. He has insisted he

wants to stay with Richard Childress Racing, but the team doesn’t have a sponsor signed for him and without one, he can’t really commit to a new contract.

But there’s no poking and prodding as to which teams Bowyer is quietly talking to just in case RCR can’t give him a deal, and everybody just assumes he’s stuck in limbo until Edwards declares and sets the dominoes in motion.

The dominoes aren’t small, either.

Roush Fenway can do very little until management knows if Edwards will be back in 2012. It’s an unsettling waiting game considering the organization only has one full-time sponsor signed

Still zero pro walks for Linza From staff reports

Keegan Linza (North Rowan) continues to pitch well for the Bristol Sox of the Appalachian League.

Linza tossed a scoreless ninth in Bristol’s 4-3, 11-inning loss to Danville on Monday.

Linza, who pitched a lot of innings as a starter at Liberty before he was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in June, is almost always used for just one inning in relief, but the results have been impressive so far.

In 131⁄3 innings, Linza has allowed one earned run and has yet to walk a batter. He’s struck out 15.  Wade Moore (Catawba, West Rowan) continued his recent surge with a single, a double, a triple, his 13th MOORE stolen base and four runs scored for Hagerstown in Monday’s wild 1413 loss at Hickory. It was the third triple and 13th double for Moore, who has five multi-hit games in his last 10 outings.  Hudson Valley’s Craige Lyerly (Catawba, East Rowan) hit his third homer of the season in the ninth inning on Sunday. He went 0for-5 on Monday, but he stole two bases. He’s 13-for-13 on steal attempts.  New Britain’s Spencer Steedley (East Rowan), a lefty reliever, is a likely candidate to get a callup from the Minnesota Twins in 2012 if he can stay healthy.

Since returning from the DL on July 9, Steedley has put zeroes on the scoreboard in eight of nine relief appearances in Double A. Last week, he pitched 61⁄3 scoreless innings, while allowing three hits and no walks.  Playing for Seattle’s Triple A farm club in Tacoma, Wash., Kyle Seager (NW Cabarrus) had a double, a steal and two runs scored in a late game Monday on the West Coast.  The Kannapolis Intimidators lost 8-7 in 11 innings at Lexington on Monday.

Lexington scored six runs in the fourth.

Kannapolis got two hits each from Marcus Semien, Keenyn Walker and Carlos Sanchez.

 Wood bat leagues The Carolina Hurricanes of the CarolinaVirginia Collegiate League competed their summer regular season Monday night with an 8-6 loss to the Kernersville Bulldogs.

Alex Litaker (East Rowan) completed the regular season with a perfect 0.00 ERA in 23 innings.

Litaker pitched two innings on Monday and struck LITAKER out three. In a team-leading 11 relief appearances, he’s 2-0 with four saves and 25 strikeouts.

The Carolina-Virginia Collegiate League double-elimination tournament begins this weekend at Mocksville’s Rich Park.

 Local track and field Marshall Shank, a freshman at East Rowan, is competing in the AAU Junior Olympic Games in New Orleans.

Shank is ranked second in the nation in the pole vault in the 14-year-old age group.  Salisbury Speedsters Alex Crook, Jabari Dalton, Payton Russell and Jaleesa Smoot are competing in running events in New Orleans.

 North Hills camp A soccer camp for ages 6-11 will be held at North Hills Christian, today through Friday, from 4:15-5:45 p.m. daily. The cost is $60 for all four days or $20 per day.

Camp for middle school and high school players will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. daily.

Cost is $90 for all four days or $25 per day.

Adidas All-American Daniel Butner is the instructor.

 Hurley Y programs Registration for fall soccer and fall flag football has started at JF Hurley YMCA. Registration will run through Sept. 4. The J.F. Hurley YMCA will be taking online registration as well. These leagues are great introductions to the sports of football and soccer. If you are interested in coaching, contact youth sports director Phillip Hilliard at philliard@rowanymca.org or704-636-0111.

 Youth baseball Spencer Little League/Franklin Ellis Pee Wee League fall baseball registration will be held on Fridays, Aug. 5 and 12, from 4-7 p.m. and Saturdays, Aug. 6 and 13, from 9 a.m. until noon at 8th Street Ballpark in Spencer. Or register online at www.eteamz.com/spencerlittleleague1.

Contact William Noles at 704-633-0151 or Chris Fries at 704-637-2766 for information.

 Tennis camp There are still some spots for Catawba’s last summer tennis camp, Aug. 8-11. The link to the tennis camp brochure is www.gocatawbaindians.com. Contact Jeff Childress at 704637-4265 or jchildre@catawba.edu.

Moss’ 13-year career ends Associated Press

FROM 1c ings.

Williams had become one of the NFL’s most dynamic backs since the Panthers drafted him in the first round in 2006. He broke out for 1,515 yards and 18 touchdowns in 2008 and followed that up a year later with 1,117 yards. Williams was poised for a similar season last year when he sprained his right foot in the fourth quarter against San Francisco during week six and never saw the field again.

The Panthers struggled to finish 2-14 and showed problems everywhere on offense.

The team was dead last in several NFL statistics, including total offense and passing. Enigmatic receiver Steve Smith publicly criticized first-year quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Williams’ best choice appeared to be take his considerable skills and run as far away as he could.

Instead, he embraced the changes he saw coming with new head coach Ron Rivera and offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski.

“It’s fun here,” said the playful Williams. “There was no reason for me to go.”

Williams return means the Panthers strong running game stays that way. He and teammate Jonathan Stewart formed

WILLIAMS

one of the strongest backfield combos in the league when healthy. Carolina finished 13th in NFL rushing a year ago with Williams on the sidelines and almost no passing reliable passing game. Both runners went past 1,100 yards two years ago and Stewart is glad to have Williams back. “We’ve got a lot of options. We’re going to be explosive,” Stewart said.

It doesn’t hurt either to bring in the players the Panthers have this offseason. They drafted Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton with the No. 1 overall pick, added tight end Jeremy Shockey before the lockout and ex-Chicago Bears tight end Greg Olsen in a trade last week. Plus last week, Smith made clear he wanted to remain with the Panthers.

Williams likes it all. He walked into Saturday’s first practice with Newton’s arm draped around him, like longtime best friends. Williams had dived quickly into offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski’s playbook.

“We’re definitely excited.

Tight ends, wide receivers and running backs? Let’s go,” Williams said.

Panthers guard Travelle Wharton said it was difficult with Williams hurt last year.

“That makes our job easier,” he said. “DeAngelo is a great running back. Comes out and plays hard. I’m excited to have him back.”

ter.”

Gurley didn’t know right off who the West head coach would be, but when he found out he was pleased. East Rutherford’s Brad LeVine, fresh from a 2A state championship, will be the head coach.

Gurley may cheerfully remind LeVine once or twice in the coming months that his West Rowan Falcons buried LeVine’s East Rutherford squad 81-49 in a 1999 sectional, but he won’t mind serving as LeVine’s right-hand man.

“I’m glad the head coach is someone I already know and like and someone I have great respect for,” Gurley said. “I’m excited for Brad. He’s a wonderful fellow, and like a lot of high school coaches he’s spent a lot of unglorious days working for not a whole lot of money. It’s great to see him recognized.”

Gurley hasn’t spoken to LeVine yet, but he plans to call him soon. Gurley likes to makes the first move. That’s why he traditionally strolls down to the enemy bench to shake the opposing coach’s hand before every game.

“Brad and I will get along like we always have,” Gurley said. “Brad’s a very good basketball coach with a great heart. And what my assistants have taught me is there are lots of ways I can help.”

Part of Gurley’s aid will come in helping with the selection of the 10-man team.

Part of it will be in practices

up for its four cars next season. But how do they shop for funding not knowing who the driver of the No. 99 will be?

And what about poor Joey Logano? He’s left twisting in the wind, unsure if Edwards is going to take his No. 20 Toyota from him at JGR. Should that happen, and that’s believed to be the offer on the table for Edwards, what does JGR plan to do with Logano?

There’s no indication JGR has that piece figured out, as speculation mounts the organization will either shop him for a new fourth team, drop him down to a full-time Nationwide ride or ship him over on loan to another Toyota program.

On and on this goes, with Edwards politely declining every query into his thought process.

“I’d just rather not say,” Edwards said when asked if he’s come to a decision.

“I appreciate it, guys. You guys have been very good to me and I appreciate it.”

Then give us something, Carl! Please! Then everybody can get back to their lives!

annoyed he is being portrayed as a bad guy for asking the team to renegotiate his contract.

In an email to The Associated Press on Monday, Umenyiora says he is frustrated some people are criticizing him because he wants the team to rework a contract that will pay him slightly more than $7 million over the next two seasons.

BURRESS BACK FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Plaxico Burress realizes he’s not 25 anymore. Or even 31 — the age he was when he last played in the NFL. None of that matters to the new Jets wide receiver.

And, he’s eager to show why no one else should worry about it, either.

“I would say that when I step on this field Thursday or Friday, I’ll look 25,” Burress said as the Jets opened training camp Monday. “I feel that good physically.”

TAYLOR TO DOLPHINS MIAMI — Jason Taylor seeks a few more sacks, and he plans to get them with the Miami Dolphins.

The NFL’s active career sacks leader, preparing for his 15th season, signed Monday with the Dolphins.

and part of it will be serving as a second set of eyes and suggestion-maker during the frantic game itself.

“I’ve coached a lot of guys who have played in this game,” said Gurley, ticking off the names of Lexington’s Bernard McIntosh, and West Rowan’s Scooter Sherrill, Donte Minter, Phillip Williams, Jamel Carpenter and K.J. Sherrill. “I know how important it is. The guys who play in it are very prideful — it means they’ve had a great career — and they tell stories about it the rest of their lives.”

Serving in the East-West game will qualify Gurley for the relatively small pool of coaches considered for the North Carolina staff for the Carolinas Classic All-Star Game played against South Carolina’s best every spring.

And while Gurley didn’t say it out loud, that talent-laden game also has to be on his bucket list.

Gurley has rolled to state crowns when he was blessed with magnificent material (towering West teams went 61-0 in 2001-02 and 2002-03), but he’s also squeezed NPC titles out of years when the talent level wasn’t special.

Gurley’s 14 seasons in Mount Ulla have produced 10 regular-season league titles, and the Falcons are working on mini-streaks of back-toback NPC tournament championships and trips to the 3A Western Regional.

In other words, the West all-stars have signed up a pretty fair assistant coach.

“I want to be everything Brad needs me to be,” Gurley said. “We’ll be in it to win it.”

The NFL roundup ...

MANKATO, Minn. — Randy Moss dominated when he wanted to dominate.

He scored when he wanted to score, cooperated when he wanted to cooperate and acted out when he wanted to act out.

Moss spent 13 seasons doing things on his own terms, which is why perhaps the loudest career the NFL has ever seen — both in terms of the roars he induced on the field and the aggravation he caused off it — ended so quietly on Monday.

No farewell speech from maybe the most physically gifted receiver to don a helmet. No tearful goodbye from a record-setting performer who changed the way defense is played in the NFL. Just a one-sentence statement from his agent saying one of the most colorful careers in league history was over.

“Randy has weighed his options and considered the offers and has decided to retire,” Joel Segal said on Monday.

JETS ARE DREAM TEAM FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — LaDainian Tomlinson looked around quizzically when asked if this year’s New York Jets were the NFL’s version of a dream team.

Tomlinson, who restructured his contract to help the Jets sign more players, then laughed and said the obvious:

“We don’t have LeBron, DWade or Chris Bosh on the team.”

Still, LT wasn’t dismissing the notion the Jets are among the Super Bowl favorites as the most unusual preseason in NFL history begins following the 41/2 month lockout. Nor was Jets coach Rex Ryan, who called this the best roster he’s had since coming to New York, holding back.

WANING REDSKINS ASHBURN, Va. — His autograph cards in hand, 19-yearold Joey Partin was able to walk right up to the wooden burgundy railing and get a prime viewing spot for Monday morning’s Washington Redskins training camp practice. No jostling for position.

No need to elbow an interloper trying to steal his spot.

“Oh, man,” said the 19-yearold from Leesburg, Va., “it used to be a struggle to get these spots.”

That’s because the crowd was all of one-deep, if that.

Where there once were claustrophobic clusters of humanity, there was instead room to lounge on a blanket or chill out on a deck chair. The picnic tables had plenty of places to sit, and there was no line at the hamburger stand.

“It is probably a fifth of what I’ve seen on a normal day,” said tight end Chris Cooley, who’s starting his eighth season with the team.

Yanks win 4th straight, Tribe prevails Associated Press

The AL roundup ...

CHICAGO — CC Sabathia pitched eight strong innings to earn his major league-best 16th win and the New York Yankees beat the Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Monday for their fourth consecutive victory.

Sabathia allowed two runs and 10 hits, matching a season high, but managed to wiggle out of trouble all night as the White Sox struggled to score without injured slugger Paul Konerko. They put the tying run in scoring position in the fifth, sixth and seventh and came away with nothing each time.

Sabathia (16-5) improved to 9-1 with a 1.76 ERA in his last 10 starts, burnishing his credentials for a second AL Cy Young Award. The big

left-hander has pitched at least six innings in each of his last 21 outings.

Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect ninth for his 28th save in 32 chances and second in as many days.

Alexei Ramirez hit a tworun homer for Chicago, which has lost three straight games.

Ramirez, A.J. Pierzynski and Gordon Beckham each had two hits.

White Sox right-hander Jake Peavy (4-5) settled down after a rough start and pitched seven effective innings. The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner gave up three runs and eight hits, but still dropped his fourth consecutive decision.

Indians 9, Red Sox 6 BOSTON — Asdrubal Cabrera’s second two-run homer of the game, originally ruled a single off the short

wall in right field and overturned by replay review, broke an eighth-inning tie and lifted the Cleveland Indians to a 9-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.

Travis Hafner homered after Cabrera’s first of the game as the Indians won for just the third time in their last 11 games.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia had a broken-bat two-run homer and Carl Crawford had a solo homer, double and scored two runs for Boston, which was coming off a 20-6 record in July — it’s first 20-win month since May 2007.

Cabrera’s homer came off reliever Daniel Bard (1-5) and halted his scoreless innings streak at 26 1-3, longest active in the majors. It was the first run he allowed after 25 scoreless appearances.

After Jason Kipnis singled

leading off the eighth, Cabrera hit a fly ball down the right field line that hooked around the Pesky Pole and caromed off what looked like the top of the wall to outfielder Josh Reddick.

Replays appeared to show the ball hitting beyond the padding on the top of the approximately 5-foot wall and bouncing back into play off a fan’s knee. After a delay of a few minutes, the umpires came back onto the field and ruled it a home run and Cabrera finished his trot around the bases, making it 7-5. Matt LaPorta added an RBI double in the inning.

Rafael Perez (4-1) pitched one inning of scoreless relief for the win.

The Indians started a seven-game road trip against division leaders.

Stewart catches up for 6th at Brickyard Associated Press

The NASCAR notebook ...

INDIANAPOLIS — Tony Stewart held onto a sliver of hope that he could claim his third Brickyard 400 title when he took the lead late in Sunday’s race.

He didn’t have enough fuel to stay up front.

Stewart stayed on the track when other drivers refueled and he took the lead on lap 134.

He rocketed out to a 13.5-second lead before it became clear he couldn’t finish without making a stop. With 15 laps to go, he finally pulled in. Paul Menard won, and Stewart eventually finished sixth.

“We knew it was a borrowed lead, but it sure was nice to lead here again at Indy,” said Stewart, who won here in 2005 and 2007.

Stewart had a rough day at times, but he somehow salvaged it. He was penalized for

running into a speed-limit cone early in the race, then he later collided with Kyle Busch on pit road.

“It’s a long pit road, it’s a narrow pit road,” Stewart said.

“I feel bad for Kyle and those guys because they had a good day going at the time.”

When he went to the pits for the final time, he knew he had no chance at a win. He said a caution wouldn’t have helped because the other drivers near the front had already refueled and had fresher tires, so they likely would have stayed on the track, and he still would have had to stop for gas.

Despite starting 24th and making several mistakes, Stewart ended up with what he considered a good finish.

“That’s the hard way to do it, man,” he said. “We had to fight from the back a couple of times to get up there. I don’t even know how we finished sixth.”

Garcia officially a Gamecock again Associated Press

SPARTANBURG, S.C. — South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia is officially back on the Gamecocks — again.

Coach Steve Spurrier said Monday that Garcia had completed the obligations he was asked to do for returning to the team after the fifth suspension of his college career.

“We think he’s going to do what’s right,” Spurrier said by phone. “Sometimes, it takes some guys a little longer, I guess.”

Garcia was banned for all team activities in April after displaying what athletic director Eric Hyman called “behavior that is unacceptable for one of our student athletes” during a life skills meeting. However, he was given the green light in May to attend offseason workouts on a probationary basis.

Spurrier praised the changes he saw in Garcia at last week’s media gathering.

“He has changed his lifestyle almost completely,” Spurrier said then. “He’s been on time.

No goofing around. He’s very serious. He’s shown a commitment we haven’t seen before. Hopefully that will continue and I expect that to continue. I expect him to be a different person.”

NFL PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger is doing his part to help the Pittsburgh Steelers get under the salary cap.

The veteran quarterback has agreed to restructure his contract to help the defending AFC champions get under the $120.4 million cap.

Ryan Tollner, Roethlisberger’s agent, said the team approached the two-time Super Bowl winner about the deal, but added it would not affect the length or the money involved in the eight-year, $102 million deal the quarterback signed in 2008.

“We’ve reviewed it and agreed to it,” Tollner said Monday.

The Steelers entered training camp about $10 million over the salary cap and last week released veterans Max Starks, Flozell Adams and Antwaan Randle El to shed payroll.

NBA NEW YORK — David Stern returned to the bargaining table Monday and said “nothing” gave him reason for encouragement.

And for that, the NBA Commissioner pointed the blame in one place.

“I don’t feel optimistic about the players’ willingness to engage in a serious way,” Stern said.

So the first meeting to include leadership from owners and players since the lockout began exactly a month ago produced nothing new — except blame.

A downcast Stern, who long maintained he was optimistic during this collective bargaining process, said that was no longer the case. He added nothing had changed since the last meeting on June 30, hours before the old deal expired, and said he doesn’t feel players are bargaining in good faith.

Players contend that although owners insist they are committed to making a deal, their proposals say otherwise.

Neither side offered a new one Monday, exactly three months before the Nov. 1 scheduled opening of the regular season that seems more in doubt than ever.

Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver were joined by San Antonio owner Peter Holt, who heads the labor relations committee, and Board of Governors chairman and Minnesota owner Glen Taylor represented ownership.

MONTOYA’S LUCK For the third straight year, Juan Pablo Montoya spent much of the race near the front of the field.

Once again, he faded late.

Montoya was running as high as third with 40 laps to go, but had to make a fuel stop, got mired in traffic and finished 28th. It was Montoya’s first race with new crew chief Jim Pohlman, who replaced Brian Pattie last week.

“It (stinks) when you run good all day, but I think Jim Pohlman and all the guys did a really good job all day,” Montoya said.

Two years ago, he led 116 laps and built a 5-second lead over the competition before getting flagged for speeding on the final pit stop. He finished 11th.

Last year, the Colombian dominated again, leading a race-high 86 laps before taking four tires instead of two dur-

Associated Press

ing a late caution. The move dropped Montoya from first to seventh. He struggled on the restart and eventually crashed out, finishing 32nd.

EARNHARDT STREAK When Dale Earnhardt Jr. took an early lead, the popular driver gave his fans hope that his 112-race winless streak would end.

He led seven laps total, ran inside the top three for some time, but eventually finished 16th.

Earnhardt’s last victory was at Michigan in 2008.

He said passing was difficult on the narrow Indianapolis track, and he knew he didn’t have a chance once he fell back.

“Some guys were fast enough to get up there, and some of us didn’t,” he said.

“We played it out, and that was the result we got. I don’t know what to be angry about if I was going to be angry.”

The NL roundup ...

PITTSBURGH — Starlin Castro had three hits and Carlos Zambrano survived six choppy innings as the Chicago Cubs spoiled slugger Derrek Lee’s two-homer debut with his new team in a 5-3 win against Pittsburgh.

Lee, acquired in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday night, knocked in all three Pittsburgh runs but it wasn’t enough as the Pirates lost for the sixth time in eight games. Ryan Ludwick, picked up by the Pirates just before the trade deadline, went 0 for 3 with a walk Zambrano (8-6) picked up his 13th career win over Pittsburgh, tied with Aaron Harang for second-most among active pitchers. Zambrano struck out five and walked three while giving up seven hits. Carlos Marmol pitched a perfect ninth to collect his 21st save.

Paul Maholm (6-11) surrendered four runs on six

hits in six innings, striking out three and walking three.

Marlins 7, Mets 3, 10 innings NEW YORK — Mike Stanton hit a grand slam in the 10th inning and the Florida Marlins quickly recovered from Lucas Duda’s tying homer with two outs in the ninth.

Mets nemesis Gaby Sanchez drove in two runs and singled to start the decisive rally. Stanton threw out a runner at the plate in the fifth and Florida got seven strong innings from starter Javier Vazquez. The Marlins then took advantage of a defensive mistake by first baseman Daniel Murphy in the 10th.

Sanchez and Hanley Ramirez singled with one out off Jason Isringhausen (2-1).

Dewayne Wise followed with a single through the right side and went tearing toward second base, not realizing the runners had held up in front of him.

Duda hit a tying, two-run homer off closer Leo Nunez (12) with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, snapping an 0-for14 skid.

ANDERSON FROM 1c even if it’s not realistic.”

And it might not be at Carolina for the 28-year-old Anderson, who will go up against Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton at quarterback.

Anderson said his role is to help Newton and secondyear players Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike adjust to the system of new offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski.

Anderson and Chudzinski were together at Cleveland in 2007 and 2008 when the unknown quarterback from Oregon excelled.

Anderson threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2007 and was picked for the Pro Bowl. His stats fell off the next season and by 2010, Anderson had signed with Arizona. He continued to struggle with the Cardinals and, once the lockout ended, knew he would be cut.

Anderson wasn’t sure what was next until the Panthers called.

“I’m obviously excited about being here and being back with ‘Chud’ and help out with Cam and Jimmy,” Anderson said. “To grow myself and help them with things in this offense that I’ve done in the past. Things that I’ve learned from my mistakes, and pass that on.”

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Anderson will be an invaluable resource for his young quarterbacks.

That doesn’t mean Anderson shouldn’t push to keep Newton and Clausen holding clipboards when the season starts.

Anderson “understands the situation and the set of circumstances,” Rivera said. “But at the same, I told Derek that’s no reason to accept a back seat. So I think his whole approach, his whole attitude about everything is he’s going to come in and compete.”

Anderson, in a white Panthers t-shirts and black shorts with his No. 3 on the side, was talked about as the veteran quarterback Rivera and Chudzinski hoped to bring in the past few days.

Non-surgical options for back pain

The number needed is nine, not more

Dear Dr. Gott: My 79-yearold mother has lumbar spinal stenosis that leads to hip pain.

She has seen ads and articles about minimally invasive procedures to relieve this problem. In a recent column, you stated that laser spine surgery “has not undergone controlled clinical trials.” What does this mean? Hasn’t it been tested for safety or effectiveness?

Also, are you familiar with MILD (minimally invasive lumbar decompression), which is an imageguided procedure to reDR. PETER move bits of bone and tisGOTT sue that impact the spinal cord?

My mother has had a couple of steroid shots and has seen a chiropractor for this and other concerns. She is wondering about these minimally invasive procedures in the future rather than the major open surgery.

In “The Nine Master Keys of Management,” Lester R. Bittel wrote: “Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.”

At the bridge table, good plans at trick one lead to good decisions as the play progresses.

In this deal, you are in three no-trump. What would you do after West leads the heart five and East puts up the queen?

North was right to raise to two spades despite only three-card support because his alternative, one no-trump, was unattractive with a low doubleton heart. You were correct to rebid three notrump, giving North a choice of contracts. With four spades, he would not have passed out three no-

trump.

You start with eight top tricks: four spades, one heart (given the first trick), two diamonds and one club. And you have guaranteed -- unelusive! — extra winners available in both minors.

The simple line is to win the first trick and to run the

club queen. However, that is bad planning. Here, East wins with his king and returns the heart nine (the higher of two remaining cards). West takes four tricks in the suit, leaving you down one.

The first trick made it clear that West began with the heart ace; otherwise, East would have won with his ace.

So East is the danger hand, the opponent who must be kept off lead. You should play a spade to dummy’s queen, then lead a diamond to your jack. When the finesse wins, you have a ninth trick. But even if West could produce the queen, dummy’s 10 would be a third diamond winner.

ness and safety. Controlled clinical trials compare the results of one technique, procedure, therapy or medication to others, as well as to a control group to determine what the risks, side effects and efficacy are from one to the other and which is most likely to be successful for the majority of patients needing that particular treatment.

As to MILD, I am unfamiliar with it. I did find an article printed in January 2010.

The authors reviewed surveys completed by the treating physician of 90 patients who underwent the MILD procedure. No adverse events or complications were noticed; however, efficacy parameters were not collected. Essentially the authors were given information by the physicians and attempted to put together an overall view of the how the procedure went. This is a fairly new procedure, and at this point appears to be safe; however, more reviews and studies are needed (some are currently being conducted) before any final conclusions can be made.

In summary, your mother needs to talk to her physician about her options. Even if she is a candidate for surgery, this shouldn’t be considered until she has exhausted other, more conservative approaches first.

R103631

Dear Reader: Spinal stenosis is a common condition that results in the narrowing of the opening in one or more of the vertebrae (typically in the neck or lower back) through which the spinal cord runs or where a portion of the nerve exits the vertebrae. This puts pressure on the nerves. Mild degrees of stenosis are often found during X-rays for unrelated causes, and the patient may not have any symptoms.

In the cervical spine (neck), this can lead to numb-

ness, weakness or tingling of one or both arms, legs, hands or feet. It can also cause neck or shoulder pain. In severe cases, urinary and/or fecal incontinence may occur.

In the lumbar spine (lower back), this can lead to numbness, weakness or tingling of one or both legs or feet. As with cervical stenosis, in severe cases urinary and/or fecal incontinence may occur. Cramping or pain of the legs after long periods of standing or walking may also result. This can usually be eased or relieved by sitting down or bending forward.

The most common causes of spinal stenosis are arthritis and degenerative changes due to the aging process.

Paget’s disease of the bone and spinal injuries or tumors may also be to blame; however, they are uncommon.

Surgery, even minimally invasive techniques, should be considered only as a last resort in most cases. I urge your mother (and you) to sit down with an orthopedist or neurosurgeon to review her situation and discuss what treatment options are available to her. These can include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), narcotic/opioid pain relievers, antidepressants, anti- seizure drugs or steroid injections.

Physical therapy may also be beneficial.

If she is overweight, a weight reduction plan can help, as will a cane or walker.

Now on to your questions.

First, “has not undergone controlled clinical trials” means that the techniques and procedures have not been thoroughly tested for effective-

Active weather will persist in North, the Central US will remain hot and muggy, and storms will develop across the Southwest on Tuesday. Starting in the North, a low pressure system that moved off the Northern Rockies, kicked up scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, will continue pushing a warm front eastward. On Tuesday, the warm front will move over the Great Lakes, triggering thunderstorms with periods of severe storms. Large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall are likely, but tornadoes are not anticipated. Rainfall totals will range from 1 to 2 inches in most area, up to 3 inches possible in areas of severe storms. Flooding will remain a concern for the Upper Mississippi River Valley and Ohio River Valley. At the same time, the back side of this low pressure system will pull a cold front through the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, bringing some relief to the heat. These areas will see highs in the lower 80s on Tuesday, whereas the day before they saw highs in the upper 90s. To the south, a strong ridge of high pressure continues building northeastward from the Southern Plains. As this ridge pushes warm and moist air northward from the Gulf of Mexico, hot and muggy conditions will stretch from the Central and Southern Plains to the Mississippi River Valley. Expect high temperatures ranging from 100 to 110 degrees, with heat index values up to 120 degrees in some areas. To the West, monsoon moisture lingering over the Southwest produces more scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Four Corners to the Central Rockies. Meanwhile, a trough off the West Coast will allow for temperatures to remain slightly below seasonal across California and the Pacific Northwest.

When to get help for painful joints

local events Summer Night Out

(ARA) - If your arm goes numb and your speech is slurred, you know you need to seek immediate medical attention. When you nick yourself shaving, you know you can deal with it yourself. But for the vast number of maladies in between, it can be difficult to know when to go to the doctor and when to deal with it on your own.

One of the most difficult situations in which you need to make the "home care vs. professional care" decision may be when something affects your joints. The joints do some important work for the human body, and figuring out when things will get better on their own and when you may have a more serious problem is not easy.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2011

by Linda Beck email: lindainthecards@gmail.com

BEYOND REACH I’m not sure what it is going to take for this old woman to accept that I can no longer play safely in my yard like I did when my husband was living. Perhaps God is telling me something in Ecclesiastes 4:9-11: “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up.

But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up.

Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.

But how can one keep warm alone?”

As hot as it has been again this summer and because of the multiple sclerosis, I have stayed inside except early mornings and late evenings.

One relatively cool morning, I decided to clean up one of the daylily beds. I was so reluctant to see the season end the last week in July, but if it is God’s will I pray that I’ll live to see another season.

I often think about Ecclesiastes 3:1-4 in God’s Holy Word that is often summarized as “A time for everything.” When writing this story, I pulled my Bible out and reread this chapter to refresh my memory: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build…”

Unfortunately, many more accidents like what happened this time may mean there will be no more seasons here…it may be my time to die.

Stretching just beyond my reach, I felt a slight shift of the scooter and in a flash I was lying in the flower bed with the new scooter on top of me. I’ve turned my old scooter over several times in the yard but this was the first time I have ever been pinned under the scooter.

The pain started immediately in my left hand and arm and I could not get it loose. I tried to move my legs but they choose not to cooperate either.

Most everything had fallen out of the new basket…everything except the phone! I struggled to rise up but I was making the pain worse so I started praying for help in deciding what I could do next. The phone was the most important thing so I began shaking the basket with

my right hand and finally it slid within my reach.

My glasses had fallen off and with only one hand I had no choice but to call 911.

By the time help arrived, it had probably been at least 15 minutes of struggling on my own.

Thankfully, it was still shady there or I could have suffered some really negative effects with the multiple sclerosis. When my Woodleaf Fire Department buddies got the scooter off of me, needles and pins were busy in my hand and arm. I thought for sure that both were broken.

But miracle of miracles, God answered my prayers and the x-rays were negative. The pain had eased off some by the time the ambulance got me to the hospital and I was tempted not to have the x-rays. Then I remembered when my friend, the other Linda, fell one morning at my house and did not know for several hours that her leg was broken in three places between her knee and ankle.

This little adventure did throw my body into a series of spasms which I had not experienced in a long while and I finally had to accept a muscle relaxer through the IV. Someone had gotten in touch with my daughters and Sonya drove the van with the scooter to the hospital for my return trip home. The medicine helped the spasms and soon I was on my way. I was reminded that had either my hand or arm been broken, I would not have been able to drive with the hand controls. I made a little side trip by Hap’s for a hot dog. They are so kind to bring my food out and the waitress said one might be surprised how many people stop there on their way home from the hospital for “comfort food.”

When I got home, I went to sleep for hours.

Sometimes when things like this happen, family and friends tell me what I should or should not do in the future. My reply to that is if God takes me home, I hope people will remember that I’m ready to go and that I died doing what I love. It is for sure that if I could not have reached the phone, I would have been laying there until someone realized I was missing. I was on the lower side of the house and could not be seen from the road. As it turned out, my mowers came that afternoon instead of Thursday morning and they probably would have been the ones to find me about six hours after I turned over.

At times some folks ask why God allows things to happen. When I turned in my Bible to

the book of Ecclesiastics, I went ahead and read the whole chapter. For the first time ever, I paid more attention to the last few verses rather than the first ones: Ecclesiastes 3:18-22: I also thought, ‘As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?”

So was God testing me to demonstrate how I need to be more careful than the animal that runs out in front of a car? Was He showing me that a person caught underneath a scooter is just as powerless as that little mouse in a trap?

Was He reminding me that living alone can be dangerous and requires me to be more careful?

Was this just an example and reminder of what all can happen?

Yes, it would be safer if I still had my husband to share our love for planting, growing, and picking the flowers God gives us, but Joe has been dead over 18 years. Gardening is still my favorite hobby. When working in my beautiful daylilies, I was reminded of the scripture in Luke 12:27-28 when Jesus said: “Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin.

Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!”

These verses are in a section telling us not to worry. I have to admit I was worried when this happened because I knew what the results could have been. It obviously was not time for me to die! Prayer and faith enabled me to reach that phone and call for help! And have faith, if it is God’s will, I will be right back outside again trying to take care of all the beautiful plants in my personal Garden of Eden!

Seniors & Nutrition

SCAM JAM Planned The Challenges Of Hunger And Under-Nutrition Among America’s Aging Population for August 31st Submitted by Lori Eberly, Comfort Keepers

More than 1 in 3 seniors in the care of others are at risk for under- or mal-nutrition (Mayo Clinic/American Dietetic Association). Malnutrition is the lack of proper nutrition, not necessarily a lack of food. Detecting malnutrition in seniors may be difficult, and even seniors who eat enough may be eating the wrong foods to keep themselves healthy. At Comfort Keepers®, we help seniors live healthy, independent lives. That’s why we have created an initiative to address senior nutrition issues. As seniors age and change, so do their nutritional needs. Keeping them properly fed and healthy makes a real difference in their quality of life.

Comfort Keepers wants caregivers and family members to be aware of ways to monitor the nutrition of seniors in your care. Download our nutrition fact sheet to learn more about detecting hunger and malnutrition in seniors, tips for eating on a fixed income and eating healthy to manage symptoms.

In an effort to help build awareness about senior nutrition issues, in the coming months we will share nutrition resources with caregivers and family members.

Follow us on Facebook, visit our blog, or visit our www.stopseniorhunger.com page to learn more about stopping senior hunger.

As a caregiver or family member, you need to be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of hunger or malnutrition in older adults. Here are some ways to monitor the nutrition of seniors in your care: Watch for physical problems such as poor wound healing, easy bruising and dental difficulties.

Keep track of weight loss which may require purchasing a home scale or transporting to the doctor’s office for weight checks when the individual is unable to stand without assistance.

Pay close attention to seniors’ eating habits and ask them to tell you where and when they eat, but don’t rely on self-reports alone. Since Comfort Keepers® often spend mealtimes with seniors at home, they may have a better idea of normal eating habits.

Suggest family members visit during mealtimes which can improve a senior’s consumption. If a senior lives alone, make sure you know who is buying his or her food.

Know what medications an older loved one takes and how often they can affect appetite and digestion. Use the resources available through your local retail pharmacist to check for drug nutrient interactions or possible side effects of prescribed medications.

If there are medical questions regarding nutrition, medication and health Comfort Keepers® suggests seniors, their family members and other caregivers speak with doctors about tests that can help identify chronic malnutrition or other nutrition-related problems.

You can help fight senior hunger and malnutrition by donating non-perishable food items to your local participating Comfort Keepers office at 512 Klumac Rd, Ste 2, Salisbury NC Mon-Fri 9a-5p or your business, organization, church, or civic group can serve as a food collection site. Contact Comfort Keepers to find out more about how your can participate.

Help STOP Senior Hunger and Malnutrition By getting involved in your local community, you can help fight senior hunger and under-nutrition. Contact your local Comfort Keepers office at 704-630-0370 to learn how you can help.

Comfort Keepers®’ unique practice of Interactive Caregiving® can contribute to longer, healthier, more purposeful lives for seniors—a fact proven by many research studies that point to the health benefits of active living in later life. Nourishing seniors is an important part of maintaining senior independence, and nutrition-boosting activities can be interactive, beneficial and fun. Comfort Keepers® recognize this in dayto-day care. In addition, Comfort Keepers® wants to be a champion for senior nutrition to the community at-large through a public relations and cause marketing campaign that is being implemented at the national and local levels.

Some local efforts include: Food Drives Food drives are being held to support Sodexo’s STOP Hunger program to benefit the Feeding America® network. Feeding America® each year serves 25 million low-income people across the United States, including 3 million seniors. Locally, the Comfort Keepers food drives are being held during September - Hunger Action Month.

Lunch & Learn Programs Comfort Keepers knows that other organizations and resources in our communities share our dedication to helping seniors live healthy, independent lives. We are eager to join community partners to educate referral sources and seniors on various aspects of senior nutrition during Lunch & Learn programs throughout the year. If you have a Lunch program or know a senior group that meets regularly for lunch or dinner, we welcome the opportunity to speak to the group regarding Senior Nutrition.

Become a Partner Comfort Keepers wants to work with others who share our dedication to seniors. We are looking for Media, Retail, Service Agencies and Business Partners willing to help host and/or promote food drives or other activities in the area. Call Comfort Keepers at 704-630-0370 or email lorieberly@comfortkeepers.com

Summer grilling meets healthy potato salad

B 14

(ARA) - Surprise and delight the family by combining two summertime favorites grilling and potato salad - into one to create unique flavors and a new star side dish.

Cooking potatoes on the grill adds a smoky flavor to these vegetables. Another twist to this traditional potato dish is switching up the potato type. Try Russets, reds, fingerlings, blues, purples, yellows or whites tonight.

by Malynda Peeler

It's no wonder potatoes are America's favorite side dish - they're naturally delicious and nutritious.

On the last Wednesday of each month, a unique group from Rockwell and surrounding areas meet at McDonald’s to enjoy breakfast and play bingo.

Powles Funeral Home and McDonald’s sponsor this monthly event.

Breakfast is from 9:00 AM until 10:00 PM. On the day I visited on July 27, conversation was lively and everyone awaited the first number of the day, A crowd of 47 attended.

At 10:00 AM Russ Roakes from Powles Funeral Home called the first bingo game.

Within minutes B I N G O is shouted! We have a winner!!!!

Shortly after the cards are cleared Russ called again and another winner came forward to claim a prize.

Great prizes are awarded, useful things like paper towels, cleaning supplies and fresh strawberries.

I was glad to see so many people enjoying the event.

I was quickly informed you had to be 60 to play each month!! Oh, well I have a few more years until I can join this great morning out.

And yes, I do like to eat breakfast at McDonalds and play B I N G O!

* At just 110 calories, potatoes are packed with essential vitamins and minerals. In addition to providing a good source of potassium, a medium-size (5.3 ounce) skin-on potato has almost half your daily value of vitamin C (45 percent), and has absolutely no fat, sodium or cholesterol.

Russ Roakes calls the Bingo Numbers Carolyn Morris wins!

* Pound for pound, potatoes are also still one of the least expensive items in the produce department. One serving - a medium potato - will set you back only about 25 cents. * Potatoes are a key part of the vegetable section of the new United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) MyPlate guidelines. Potatoes are specifically recognized as a vegetable selected to meet the critical need for more potassium and are included multiple times in sample MyPlate menu plans. * You can lose the weight, without losing the potatoes. Potatoes can be a part of a weight loss program, according to research released by the University of California, Davis and the National Center for Food Safety and Technology, Illinois Institute of Technology, in October 2010.

With no stove-top or oven required, this Grilled Pesto Potato Salad recipe is easy to prepare and is guilt-free at just 210 calories per serving. With 784 mg of potassium, it also packs nearly 20 percent of your daily value of the essential mineral - more than a banana.

Have You Heard: Tinnitus Provided by Hearing Lifestyles, LLC

What is that noise in my head? Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head where no external source is present.

Some call it “ringing in the ears” or “head noise”. Tinnitus is pronounced either ti-NIGHT-us or TIN-i-tus. The word is of Latin origin, meaning “to ring or tinkle like a bell”. This bedeviling condition affects 1 in 5 people.

There are several types of tinnitus: 1. Subjective tinnitus (most common): Sounds only you can hear 2. Objective tinnitus: Head or ear noises that others can hear as well 3. Pulsatile tinnitus: Sounds like a rhythmic pulsing in the ear, typically in time with one's heartbeat The exact physiological cause or causes of tinnitus are not known. There are, however, several likely sources, all of which are known to trigger or worsen tinnitus.

- Noise exposure – Resulting in hearing loss, damage and even destruction of inner hair cells. Once damaged, these hair cells cannot be renewed or replaced.

- Physical trauma to the head and neck - Disorders such as hypo- or hyperthyroidism, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, thoracic outlet syndrome. When tinnitus is a symptom of the disorder, treating the disorder can help alleviate the tinnitus.

- Certain types of tumors - Wax build-up - Jaw misalignment - Cardiovascular disease - Abnormal blood flow in the arteries or veins close to the inner ear, brain tumors or irregularities in the brain structure - Ototoxic medication (toxic to the ear) such as high powered antibiotics, loop diuretics and some cancer treatment medications.

- Medications, both prescription and over the counter can produce tinnitus as a side effect without damaging the inner ear.

Effects, which can depend on the dosage of the medication, can be temporary or permanent. Before taking any medication, make sure that your prescribing physician is aware of your tinnitus, and discuss alternative medications that may be available. There are some websites that provide information on drug interactions. Two popular resources for this are Drugwatch.com and the Physicians Desktop Reference websites.

The American Tinnitus Associate (ata.org) is an excellent source for additional information. An evaluation by your physician and audiologist will help you determine the possible cause of your tinnitus and have suggestions for treatment options.

Dr. Lorin S. Oden is an Audiologist at Hearing Lifestyles, LLC is located at 464 Jake Alexander Blvd. W., Salisbury.

Celiac disease is a condition that damages the lining of the small intestine, preventing it from absorbing parts of food.

When a person has Celiac disease, his or her immune system attacks the villi, or areas along the lining of the small intestine, whenever foods that contain gluten are eaten. The damage that results from such an attack makes it hard for the body to properly absorb nutrients, causing many people to become malnourished regardless of how much food is consumed. Found in foods such as bread and pasta, gluten is a protein that can be avoided if people adopt a glutenfree diet. Such a diet means avoiding foods, beverages and even medications that contain wheat, barley, rye, and possibly even oats. While a gluten-free diet won't cure Celiac disease, it can cause the symptoms to disappear and help the villi heal. Celiac disease is often mistaken for irritable bowel syndrome, so if such a condition has been diagnosed but nothing seems to be working, men and womenshould request they be tested for Celiac disease.

Beyond Marketing Group, Inc. Offers Facebook Classes for Seniors Beyond Marketing Group, Inc., a Greensboro, NC based communication firm has developed a training class to help senior adults connect with family and friends on Facebook. This two-hour seminar shares the basics from how to log on to set up a profile and ways to find friends and family on Facebook.

One of the fastest growing segments of people using Facebook includes adults 55 years old and older. Although this segment makes up approximately 11% of the millions of users on Facebook, a thirst for knowing the basics like how to log on, keep posts private and upload photos remain top of mind for many new users.

Lynette Hawkins, a social media enthusiast and founder of Beyond Marketing Group, Inc. states, “Several senior living centers and real estate companies have already expressed interest in hosting seminars. Social media opens a door beyond email that allows parents, grandparents, friends and family to share conversations and photos that can bring people together who may not have that opportunity otherwise.

After conducting a social media work-

shop with eager seniors registered for a church convention, we realized how much seniors are benefitting from making connections with people they care about on Facebook and other social media. Sharing basic tools on how to be safe and connected can open the digital door even wider.”

Organizations interested in learning about hosting seminars on social media, can visit their website or contact Lynette Hawkins at info@awesomeinsight.com or (336)8544196.

About Beyond Marketing Group, Inc.
