Charlotte Symphony concert draws record crowd to Kannapolis BY HUGH FISHER

hfisher@salisburypost.com

ANNAPOLIS — This year, thousands of people drove from near and far to start their Fourth of July holiday weekend in style in Cabarrus County. The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra’s Stars and Stripes Salute drew more than 15,000 people to Village Park on Friday night, Parks and Recreation Director Gary Mills said. That wasn’t counting hundreds more who lined streets in Cannon Village and on the grounds of the N.C. Research Campus to watch the annual fireworks display. “This is impressive,” said Lara Thornton of Calvert City, Md. She and her kids, Ella and Jack, gathered with family to enjoy the symphony concert for the first time. Like thousands of others, the kids played on a blanket while other family members finished off cups of ice cream and sherbet. Thornton said she was

going to take pictures back with her to show her friends. “It’s very pleasant here.” The show always honors North Carolina’s veterans as well as those currently serving in the armed forces. Mayor Bob Misenheimer thanked them for their service and asked them to stand and be recognized — one of three times in all that service members were honored from the stage. “We want you to know how much we appreciate your service,” Misenheimer said. Mills introduced the evening’s special guest, World War II veteran and local businessman Bill Whitley. Before Whitley took the stage, Mills recounted how he entered the Army Air Corps in 1943 and worked as a crewman on a B-24 bomber. He flew bombing runs against Nazi Germany, saw his fellow fliers killed and survived being shot down over Yugoslavia.

Historic ‘sentinel’ back in foundation’s hands

he Bernhardt House is like the son who finishes college, goes off on his own, loses his job and comes back home to regroup. Meanwhile, Historic Salisbury Foundation officials Jack Thomson and Gwen Matthews are like the parents who have prepared the guest room for their child’s return, not knowing MARK how long his WINEKA stay will be. They tend to finish each other’s sentences. “This beautiful house has gotten socked in the eye,” Thomson says. “More than once,” Matthews adds. “But it’s truly one of the landmarks in the city,” Thom-

son finishes. In a deal closed June 24, Historic Salisbury Foundation has become the owner — for a second time — of the 1882 Bernhardt House at 305 E. Innes St. Previously, the foundation had been given the property in 1990 and spent considerable funds stabilizing the house until selling it to builder Eddie Beaver, who did a credible restoration in 1999. Beaver converted the 4,000 square feet into 10 rooms for offices that included his contracting headquarters, First Carolinas Realty and a display center for Anne Marie Isherwood’s Exquisite Interiors. But hard times hit Beaver’s business. Foreclosed on, the Bernhardt House eventually became the property of two banks, Community One and First Bank. The house also fell victim

Authorities say a group of Hispanics moved to Rowan County about three months ago to start and operate a black tar heroin business serving several counties. The Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, working with several other agencies, busted the operation Thursday, seizing cash, guns, cocaine and black tar heroin. Sheriff Kevin Auten said this is the first full-scale black tar heroin operation busted in the county. He noted that black tar heroin usage is on the rise. Investigators believe the business was connected to suppliers in Atlanta, based on the four-hour time needed for arrival of the product. Lt. Chad Moose, head of the Criminal Investigation Division, said the Sheriff’s Office began the investigation six weeks ago, after tips from the public. Heavy traffic at the newly opened business apparently also raised questions. Auten said Friday that federal immigration officials have placed detain orders on the five Hispanics arrested. They are all believed to be illegal immigrants. A sixth person arrested, Meredith Kristin Simmons, was identified as the girlfriend of one of the men. When officers stopped Simmons and an infant passenger in a vehicle near Porky’s in China Grove, they found drugs. The Rowan County Department of Social Services was called. Investigators say the drug business was being operated out of a building at 6275 S. Main St. that used an auto repair business as

Fourth of July travel, fireworks a little lighter than most years

When the new bridge over the railroad tracks was built in the middle of the decade, it created a new elevation, putting the house in a hole below street level and cutting off its vehicle access from East Innes Street.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Expect fewer booms this July Fourth because of financial busts in some cities and towns. As many folks pack up picnics and head to see the fireworks this holiday weekend, the skies over a couple-dozen cash-strapped communities will be missing the spectacular crackle of color that Americans associate with the nation’s birthday. Blame the economy. Cities and towns including Antioch, Calif.; Louisville, Colo.; Akron, Ohio; Stamford, Conn.; and Jersey City, N.J., were forced to pull the plug on their fireworks shows because of tight budgets. In Antioch, Mayor James Davis said it was tough to cancel the nearly $80,000 fireworks show and festivities. It’s a celebration he and his wife brought back to the area 15 years ago. But even more difficult, he says, is laying off 18 people this year. “You get to know a lot of these employees on a one-to-one basis,” said Davis. “How can we spend money on the fireworks when we’re making these cutbacks?” It is the same story in Clayton, N.C., where Mayor Jody McLeod says he can’t remember a year the town of 16,000 didn’t have fireworks — until this year. Clayton is facing layoffs and spending $30,000 for fireworks just didn’t seem right.

“It’s devastating,” said the mayor. “But because of the economy, this is just what the town has to do.” McLeod has received a few letters and e-mails asking how he could cancel the fireworks — “a piece of Americana,” said one; “insane,” cried another. But most residents “understand that you can only spend what you have, just like a family,” said McLeod. In Boston, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ran an online contest complete with a history quiz and then awarded $10,000 grants to 10 cities, including Cincinnati and Montclair, N.J., to help them continue their July Fourth celebrations. While some communities struggled to find donors or had to cancel altogether, the fireworks industry itself is ... well, booming. “The fireworks industry tends to be recession resistant,” said Julie Heckman, executive director of the American Pyrotechnics Association. “I think that’s because these community celebrations are so important.” Meanwhile, standing in line on hot asphalt waiting to see the Liberty Bell, Don Shelley couldn’t help but think that, if the nation’s economy were better, he would be basking on a beach in Hawaii instead of hanging out in Philadelphia. Shelley, of Mesa, Ariz., turned 50 on Friday, and his wife had planned to take him on a surprise trip to Hawaii. But they decided to take a much-cheaper trip to the birthplace of American independence. “This is just as much fun,” Don Shelley, a high school principal, said as he waited with his wife and three children, ages 12, 17 and 20. Millions of people are expected to hit the beach, visit tourist attractions or watch parades. But many others are scaling down their trips or traveling by car instead of flying. AAA said that of the 34.9 million Americans expected to travel this holiday weekend, most would go at least 50 miles or more, and mostly by car — about 90 percent. The figure is 17.1 percent higher than last year, when 29.8 million went somewhere else, but it’s still lower than the 37.8 million who made travel plans in 2008.

the front. A separate business at the other end was not involved in the operation. The auto repair business took up about half the building. Investigators said the office area in front of the building was being used as a living quarters for the group. The building initially housed the aluminum business of Jim Neely, a well known businessman and former county commissioner. Neely died in 2003 and the property was sold at auction. During the investigation, undercover officers bought cocaine and heroin at the South Main Street business. Investigators quickly determined the business was selling narcotics in several counties. Detectives from the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office joined the investigation early on. On Thursday, the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office obtained search warrants for the business on Main Street, and two residences, 116 Cedar Drive and 405 Turner St., Landis. During the raid, detectives seized 82 “balloons” of heroin, estimated street value of $25 each; three handguns, two grams of cocaine and $4,500 in cash. Over the course of the investigation leading to the Thursday raids simultaneously at the three locations, detectives seized a total of 140 balloons (8 grams) of heroin and 2 grams of cocaine. During the raid on the South Main Street location, one of the men attempted to run and threw ballons in a pile of trash. The colorful balloons were easily located and retrieved. Several agencies assisted the Sheriff’s Office in the searches and arrests. The agencies include Iredell County Sheriff’s Office, Salisbury Police, Landis Police and the SBI. Those charged are: • Rosalina Santa Garza, trafficking in heroin (two counts), conspiracy to traffic in heroin (three counts), possession with intent to sell and deliver a Schedule I drug (heroin) and maintaining a vehicle for such purposes. • Hector Rodriguez, conspiracy to traffic in heroin (two counts), sell and deliver a Schedule I drug (heroin). • Juan Dedios Lopez, traf-

were in the banking business, not the real estate business,” Thomson says of the banks. Thomson often describes the Bernhardt House as a sentinel to the downtown, standing guard at a post next to the railroad tracks. It’s better, he says, than any billboard could be in announcing one’s entrance into the historic central business district. The Bernhardt House is a landmark itself, having been added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. “It’s special in so many ways,” Matthews says, describing the Victorian architectural features outside and the original ceilings, floors and doors inside; rebuilt fireplaces; period wallpaper; and an impressive staircase. In a way, the Bernhardt House is the last and first — the first noteworthy house leading into

shop, Matthews says. The Bernhardt House faces a lot of challenges, of course. It’s in bad shape now. “We wouldn’t want to put it on the market today,” Thomson says. A driveway on the railroad side of the house that used to connect with East Innes Street now stops in mid air. Matthews says it probably will have to be removed. A lot of cosmetic repairs also have to be made inside and out. It’s difficult for potential buyers not to see the below-street elevation as a minus, and today’s economy is tough for an ambitious project like the Bernhardt House. Any other negatives? “There’s the train,” Matthews says of the close proximity to the tracks. “But this is a railroad town,” Thomson adds quickly. There they go, finishing each other’s sentences again. As parents tend to do. Contact Mark Wineka at 704797-4263, or mwineka@salisburypost.com.

heirs conveyed the property to the foundation in 1990. If the Bernhardt House goes through another reincarnation, what could it be? Thomson says it’s a commercial property that he thinks would work for an “appointment-driven” business, such as an attorney, counselor, doctor or accountant. The back parking lot, which has access off East Fisher Street, is big enough to accommodate those types of businesses, Thomson says. Matthews has an even broader vision. Even with vehicle access a problem in the front, she thinks the house offers opportunities as a restaurant, small hotel or bed and breakfast. She is intrigued by the notion of transforming it into a outfitters’ or sporting goods store, where people could rent bicycles, cross the bridge and take off on a bike trail through historic Salisbury. It offers great pedestrian access from the front, which could even make it retail intensive for something such as an ice cream

what people consider historic Salisbury and the last pre-20th century house left between the railroad tracks and I-85. The house was built for Paul and Mary Jane Leake Bernhardt in 1882 and remodeled to its present appearance in 1902. Various members of the Bernhardt family lived in the house until 1947, but the most notable probably was George Bernhardt, a man who, Charlie Peacock once told me, epitomized Southern gentility. George Bernhardt, who died in 1947, was bookkeeper and vice president of Salisbury Hardware Co., and his obituary said his politeness was “legendary.” People said the house was a monument to the man’s civility. His house came to be known as “Old Cinder Sides” because of cinders thrown against it from passing steam locomotives. The Rufty family bought the house in 1948, when a back section was added for extra kitchens and dining rooms and the place was converted to apartments. Rufty

Woman charged with threat released on bond and charged with giving false information. Authorities said Smith told security workers several times that she had a bomb as she and another person tried to board a US Airways flight to Norfolk, Va. Smith’s attorney did not return a phone call seeking comment. The statements caused airport police to close the checkpoint where the threat was made and evacuate all passengers, authorities said. In addition, the flight on which she was booked took off about 20 minutes late, they added.

An affidavit from Roland Morneault, a federal air marshal, said a body scan indicated anomalies on Smith so they asked if she had anything in her pockets. “I have a bomb,” the affidavit said she responded. She repeated the statement, with an expletive added, when asked a second time, the marshal said in the affidavit. When asked to repeat her statement in front of second officer, Smith did so, the affidavit states. The officers requested a supervisor, who asked her again if she had

anything in her pockets. Smith replied: “a bomb, cuz I am a (expletive) terrorist,” according to the document. Although officers found no explosive, they said Smith had “an intense stare” and “a nonjoking demeanor” that made them believe her threat was credible, the affidavit said. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Smith, if convicted, faces a maximum penalty of a $250,000 fine, five years in prison or both. In addition, the airport police charged Smith with disorderly conduct.

He says he told the agency’s top officials about nepotism, payroll padding and questionable spending. The inspector general is investigating several of Finch’s allegations.

Man serving a life sentence scheduled for release in 2012 BY JESSIE BURCHETTE

jburchette@salisburypost.com

A Salisbury man sentenced to life in prison for the first-degree sexual offense and kidnaping of a convenience store clerk is scheduled to be set free in 2012. Kenneth Allen Dover, who lived at the Circle Drive Trailer Park off U.S. 29, was convicted in 1982 of multiple charges in the robbery of a Kannapolis store.

A clerk in the Fast Fare store, which was located at the intersection of West C Street and Pump Station Road, testified Dover put a knife to her neck and took her into a storage DOVER room around 11 p.m. on March 28, 1982.

When his efforts to rape her failed, she feared for her life. In the 1982 trial, she testified that she convinced Dover that he might do better at her home.

Trying to attract the attention of Kannapolis police, she ran a red light, got a warning from the officer, but wasn’t able to tell the officer of her predicament. A few minutes later, she

asked to get a drink at a store on Ridge Avenue. She went in and got the clerk to lock the door while she called police. Dover then apparently returned to the same store around 2 a.m. and brandished a knife, threatening a clerk, asking her, “You want to die?” He demanded keys to a car in the parking lot, and repeatedly punched her in the side with a knife. At some point she sustained cuts on her hands.

She grabbed a knife and challenged him. Dover then reportedly backed out of the store cursing. The clerk was treated for cuts on her hands. Dover was sentenced in Rowan County Superior Court to life for the sexual assault and kidnapping and 14 years at the expiration of the life term for armed robbery. In a press release, the Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission reported

that Dover has been approved for the Mutual Agreement Parole Program, a scholastic and vocational program. If Dover successfully completes the program, he will be released on or about Dec. 9, 2012. The state’s current sentencing law, Structured Sentencing, eliminates parole on crimes committed on or after Oct. 1, 1994. Dover, now 48, is in the Tillery Correctional Center in Halifax County.

ALBEMARLE — A 2-year-old boy who wandered away from family members was found floating in a backyard pool Thursday night. The Stanly County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the death of Smith William Snuggs at the home of his aunt and uncle, Lynn and Michael Slaughter, 26057 McSwain Road. According to a press release from the Sheriff’s Office, the child and his father, Lee Snuggs, were visiting at the Slaughters’ residence. Several other children and family members were also at the residence. Family members told detectives that the child was in the front yard with other family members. At some point, family members couldn’t find the child. After a short time he was found floating in the in-ground pool in the backyard. Family members and emergency medical personnel tried unsuccessfully to revive him. The child was transported to Stanly Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Carolina Cross Connection volunteers reach out to locals in need of home repair BY SHAVONNE POTTS

spotts@salisburypost.com

These days, Mary Bailey does what she can around her house, but she inevitably tires easily. Two open heart surgeries and a stomach aneurysm have stolen the energy she once had. This week, the Salisbury native received a helping hand from a group of young people she had never met before. A seven-member team from Carolina Cross Connection, a Christian outreach ministry based in Lincolnton, painted Bailey’s front porch and repaired a bench. Each year, the organization holds four weeklong camps throughout western North Carolina. Campers volunteer to repair homes and participate in community building projects. Volunteers form five to seven member teams known as Christian Mission Groups. Volunteers from Joshua Youth Camp in Albemarle

worked for much of Thursday at Bailey’s Barbour Street home. Joshua Camp serves a six-county area — Rowan, Stanly, Montgomery, Cabarrus, Union and Anson. “I appreciate them,” Bailey said. “They listen and share their experiences.” Not only did volunteers share their faith with Bailey, she shared her faith with them. Bailey’s first surgery was in 1988 and her second in 2002. She had an out-of-body-experience that let her know she still had more to do with her life. “I went to heaven,” she said. Bailey asked God what would happen to her daughters if she died? “God has something else for me to do,” she said. She doesn’t get to participate in church activities like she once did, but she’s still a member of Word of Life Family Worship Center, formerly New Testament Word of Faith. “I love the Lord and if it

wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here,” Bailey said. Bailey said she doesn’t ignore it when her body warns her to slow down. “Your body tells you that’s enough and to sit down,” she said. Bailey feels part of her purpose is to share her testimony of survival with others. She’s lived in the same home for 33 years and the children have moved out. Bailey’s family used to have cookouts so the repairs to her bench were much needed, she said. Joy Lambert, 18, of East Bend, heard about Carolina Crosss Connection from her church youth leader. Friends who attended the camp in previous years encouraged her to give it a try. Lambert decided to try out the camp this year for the first time. She was joined by other youth from her church, Center United Methodist Church in Yadkinville.

Kannapolis school board promotes new leaders The Kannapolis City Board of Education has appointed three new leaders for Kannapolis City Schools: Beth Anne Marshall, Jennifer Baucom and Bonnie West. Marshall will become the new principal of Jackson Park Elementary, Baucom will be the new director of the Kannapolis City Schools’ Head Start Program and Bonnie West will take on the role of director of Kannapolis City Schools’ Exceptional Children’s Department. Marshall, a graduate of the prestigious Principal Fellows Program in North Carolina, will be the new principal of Jackson Park Elementary. She will replace Lex Graham, who retired June 30. Marshall comes to KCS from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, where she served as the Academic Facilitator/Exceptional Children’s Administrator at Bishop Spaugh Community Academy. In that role, she helped lead significant improvements in student achievement and developed a program that cut suspensions at the school nearly in half. Prior to being assigned to Bishop Spaugh Academy, Marshall served as an interim principal and assistant principal at Allenbrook Elementary in Charlotte and she was a Principal Intern at Charlotte’s Bain Elementary. She’s also been a reading specialist, math teacher, language arts teacher and an exceptional children’s coordinator and teacher during her 16-year education career. Marshall holds two master’s degrees. One is from

UNC Charlotte where she graduated with honors with a Master of School Administration degree. The other is from West Virginia University, where she also graduated with honors with a master’s in special education. Her Bachelor of Arts in elementary education is from West Virginia State College. Her first day at Jackson Park will be Tuesday. Jennifer Baucom will move from Shady Brook Elementary to become the Director of the McKnight Child Development Center and the Kannapolis City Schools’ Head Start Program. Baucom will replace Martie Williams who retired June 30. Jennifer Baucom has been the curriculum coordinator at Shady Brook Elementary since 2004. During that time, Shady Brook has been named an Exemplary Reading First School by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Prior to coming to Shady Brook, Baucom was assistant principal of Granite Quarry Elementary in the Rowan-Salisbury School System. She also was an elementary school teacher in the Rowan-Salisbury Schools. She will begin Tuesday as the new Director of the McKnight CDC and Head Start Program. Baucom is a graduate of UNC Charlotte, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education and a Master of School Administration degree. West is being promoted to become the Director of the KCS Exceptional Children’s (EC) Program. For the past six

years, she has worked as the System Support Specialist in the EC Department. West has extensive experience in EC education. Besides her role as System Support Specialist, she was an Exceptional Children’s Resource Teacher at Forest Park Elementary, where she was named the school’s Teacher of the Year. She also was a finalist for systemwide Teacher of the Year honors. West has taught exceptional children in several communities in North Carolina and in Georgia during her 26-year education career. Bonnie West earned a Bachelor of Science degree in special education from East Carolina University and a Master of School Administration degree from UNC Charlotte. Dr. Debra Morris, Assistant Superintendent for KCS, says Marshall, Baucom, and West will do excellent work for children. “All three of these outstanding educators have strong records of success, and they’re tremendous leaders,” Morris said. “They’ll bring enormous talent and enthusiasm to their new roles, and they’ll help our schools achieve even greater success. “Most importantly, they’re all dedicated to doing what’s best for children, and that’s why they’ll be wonderful additions to our KCS Leadership Team.” Kannapolis City Schools will begin looking for a new curriculum coordinator for Shady Brook Elementary to replace Jennifer Baucom.

Joy Lambert, from East Bend, talks with Mary Bailey at her home on Barbour Street in Salisbury. Lambert is one of the youth who worked Thursday making improvements to Baileys home from the Christian youth camp Carolina Cross Connection.

FROM 4A “I like it ‘cause it’s different from other mission trips,” she said. “They give us time to ourselves with God. Also during the week we get to go to different places.” She also enjoys learning new skills like sawing, painting and staining wood. One of the best parts of the camp is getting to meet people and hearing about their lives, she said. “Hearing their stories has changed my life,” Lambert said. She said the experience isn’t all about working at different job sites, but about meeting people. Volunteers weren’t all business, they played games and talked with Bailey’s 5year-old great-grandson, Amor Anderson. Kathy Kendall, an adult volunteer, said it’s all about relationships. “The work is really important for the people in the

DARTS AND LAURELS

Back to work at Freightliner Laurels to Freightliner for recalling 280 workers to its Cleveland plant to increase production of Cascadia heavy trucks. Union members made concessions during recent contract negotiations with the understanding that Freightliner would beef up its workforce in the near future. The company’s recall of 540 workers to its three plants in North Carolina comes in response to increased demand for the Cascadia, which it anticipated at contract time. Freightliner workers know the uncertainties of the truck-making business. Demand comes and goes, and now Freightliner has a plant in Mexico that can make the Cascadia model, too. So Freightliner jobs are not the most secure. But they’re good jobs with good benefits, as long as they last. This is a boost to the local economy and a godsend for hundreds of local families. • • • Dart to the state budget provision that forces Rowan County to receive $900,000 less in lottery funds than it was expecting in 2010-11. Taxpayers grow cynical when funds created for one purpose get routed to others. In this case, the state is funding a worthy need, paying teachers in the early grades, reportedly. The county was going to use the money to help pay off school bonds. In both cases, proceeds from the N.C. Education Lottery would be serving educational purposes — “for the children,” as they say. Unlike the state, Rowan County has a healthy fund balance to draw from, so commissioners should not have to levy additional taxes to replace the money. But the powers that be in Raleigh make it difficult for local governments to finalize their own budgets — and to have confidence in the state — when the General Assembly changes the rules to meet its own budget needs. • • • Laurels to the town of Faith’s weeklong 4th of July celebration. So many holidays have become holidays in name only; people get a day off from work but don’t participate in any kind of observance. Faith makes sure everyone knows what the Independence Day celebration is about and gives them plenty of ways to participate. The tradition started when the town’s young men came home from World War II, and the red-white-and-blue festivities have grown through the years. Food booths and rides open at 4 p.m. today, and rides open at 6 p.m. Sunday. The grand finale comes Monday, starting with the huge parade at 10 a.m. and ending with fireworks at 10:30 p.m., with tons of activities in between. This is a display of patriotism-plus-plus, Rowan County’s own brand of Americana. Many thanks to the volunteers and sponsors who make it happen.

SALISBURY POST

Brother, can you spare a narrative? L

et me tell you what is wrong with the country today — you know, what’s wrong besides the soaring deficits, the spluttering economy, the bought and sold Congress and the unending foreign wars. What’s wrong is that politicians and their supporters have lost their narratives. In consequence, many REG impressionable HENRY Americans have no narrative either. Many wander the streets pathetically asking: “Have you seen my narrative? I had one just recently.” In short, nothing in politics makes sense anymore. At this point, curious readers will ask: What is a narrative? It is an explanation, a story to explain how things work. The narrative takes events and puts them all together to form a unified theory that can be successfully marketed to the chronically gullible. And it’s not just in politics. Every salesman must have a narrative. For example, you are an educated person yet you do not have any widgets. Widgets are environmentally friendly. They will cut your

bills and make you attractive. Your children will feel the shame of coming to school widget-less when their little friends have them. Buy a widget today! Prosecutors depend on narratives. The evidence shows that the accused was motivated by widgetenvy. He noticed some widgets in his neighbor’s yard and he snuck over at night and stole them. The defendant says he just cut through the yard on a dog walk. A likely story! Convict this man of grand theft widget. In the same way, politicians must have narratives to explain why their reality is the one you need to buy. But that is where the problem arises. Everywhere you look you hear the sound of shredding narratives. Take, for example, this week’s hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee for Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. In the narrative of conservative Republicans, one of their fondest talking points is the threat posed by activist liberal judges. But this time liberal committee members justly complained about the activism of the conservative Roberts court. In their folksy way, the conservative majority on the court more often than not plays the Will Rogers of the well-heeled — most of them

never met a corporation they didn’t like. It’s funny how the Constitution, the great charter of the people, seems in the conservative judicial reading only to favor more prosperous people. An unintended consequence is that the conservative narrative has become spoiled. There’s no plausibly blaming judicial activism on liberals when conservative justices plainly do it too. Faced with this uncomfortable truth, Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the committee, did well to restrain himself and not shout at his liberal colleagues: “Hey, you can’t complain about activist judges. That’s our narrative. You get your own narrative.” The oil spill in the Gulf has spoiled the conservative narrative too. It is part of the right-wing dogma that if only the government gets out of the way with its pesky regulations, private companies will do a better job. Unfortunately, as we have learned from the Gulf, a hands-off policy will not work unless human nature is repealed. If managers are allowed to do anything they want to cut costs and enhance profits, they oftentimes will. The narrative destruction is not limited to conservatives. President Barack Obama promised change we can be-

lieve in and then proceeded to cull the believers by behaving much like his predecessor in a number of areas. What is his narrative now: Yes, we can’t? This all came home to me recently at the Moosehead Tavern, where I saw Hopey Changey sitting at the bar looking depressed. (Surely you remember Hopey Changey, the president’s pal? He was the guy that Sarah Palin asked about earlier this year: “How’s that Hopey Changey thing working out for ya?”) Hopey Changey was considering whether he should go home and listen to NPR or order another chardonnay when who should walk in but Sarah’s old pal, Drill Baby Drill. “Hey, Drill Baby, what’s up?” Hopey asked. “Haven’t seen you around too much lately. Are you as depressed as I am in these troubled times?” “Haven’t got a realistic narrative to call my own now,” Drill Baby said sadly. “Me neither,” said Hopey. “Maybe the two of us could go out in the street like a pair of old bums and say to passersby, ’Brother, can you spare a narrative?’ It’s better than trying to sell widgets in this economy.” • • • Reg Henry is a columnist for the Pittsburgh PostGazette.

Service beyond the call of duty There are heroes who walk among us. There are three I would like to thank: Officer Brian Hill, Office John Reep and Sgt. Wayne Comer of the Spencer Police Department. I am an employee of the Pantry in Spencer. I was born with asthma, bronchitis and later in life, I acquired COPD. On June 16, I went into work the third shift, not feeling very well. I was standing outside and began to have an asthma attack. I went back inside and sat down. At this time, Officers Hill and Reep came into the store, like any usual night. At this point, Officer Hill noticed that I was not myself and came over to evaluate the situation. He decided to call 911. Officers Hill and Reep stayed by my side until the paramedics arrived, along with Sergeant Comer. They all remained with me until I was transported to the ER by ambulance. I want to extend a special thank you to Officer Hill for giving me the chance to live another day. And after all the religious talks we had, I want him to know that I do have faith and I really do believe. I also want to thank Officer Reep and Sergeant Comer for their help and support ... and to Sergeant Comer for being there until the doors closed on the ambulance.

More bad behavior at the N.C. Highway Patrol R

ALEIGH — A few years ago, the North Carolina General Assembly decided, as a cost-savings measure, to roll the enforcement arm of the state Division of Motor Vehicles into the State Highway Patrol. DMV officers, in their blue Crown Vics, primarily enforced trucking laws and patrolled highway SCOTT stops. MOONEYHAM restBesides saving money, the idea behind the move was that the DMV had been a political patronage dumping group. Rolling DMV enforcement into the Highway Patrol would improve professionalism and efficiency. Maybe legislators got it wrong. Maybe they should have rolled the Highway Patrol into the Division of Motor

Vehicles. Of late, imagining less professionalism out of the current patrol is a pretty taxing mental exercise. I suppose some trooper could have been accused of beating a defenseless dog. Oh, sorry, forget that one. In the last couple of months, the patrol has seen a spate of firings and forced resignations. Master Trooper Timothy S. Stiwinter quit last week after being charged with drunken driving and felony hit and run by Asheville police. Patrol Capt. James Williams Jr., who supervised patrol operations in a 12-county area, was fired in May after he was caught driving drunk while off duty on Interstate 85. That drunken driving incident also cost three Butner police officers their jobs after they decided to give a wobbly Williams a drive to a hotel instead of a dip in the pokey. Trooper Larry B. Lovicka

of Raleigh resigned earlier this month and is under investigation regarding a traffic stop of a woman in May. Then there is Maj. Everett Clendenin, the longtime spokesman and public face of the patrol. Clendenin resigned after alleging sending inappropriate text messages to a female co-worker. Clendenin had fielded many a question from reporters about other instances of trooper misconduct. You would think he would have known better. These episodes of misbehavior and alleged misbehavior followed several other highly-publicized embarrassments for the patrol during the previous two years. It seems that some patrol troopers believe that, because they enforce the law, they are above the law. Gov. Beverly Perdue seems more upset and angry about the incidents than anything else that has happened

in her administration, saying the behavior “has to stop.” Considering the state of the economy and the state of the state budget, making it stop may not be has hard as it seems. Plenty of qualified folks, whether leaving other law enforcement agencies or leaving the military, would probably be happy to be gainfully employed by the Highway Patrol. With the economic and budget woes continuing for another couple of years, Perdue will be forced to take yet more budget-saving measures. So, why not lay off the entire department, a section at a time, and force everyone to reapply for their jobs? Up until now, public humiliation hasn’t done much to get patrol troopers’ attention. Perhaps pink slips will. • • • Scott Mooneyham writes about state government for Capitol Press Association.

to regional favorites from around the U.S., like “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” “We love the symphony,” said Karen Powell of Harrisburg. She and daughter Christina sat far from the amphitheater, on the edge of the hill that marks the outer edge of the concert space. “We came too late!” Powell said. “There’s usually room to find something up close.” Indeed, the capacity-plus crowd spilled over into far corners of the Village Park lawn. Although several aisles were left open, the seating area was packed with blankets, lawn chairs, even the occasional buffet table. The crowd did appear to tax the park’s facilities. Lines as long as 15 minutes to get into restrooms were reported, and Mills said that concession stands were in danger of selling out. But he also said that that was a good problem to have, noting that proceeds go back to the city for parks and recreation programs. He also said portable restrooms brought in last year for the event went largely unused. The crowd seemed to take it all in stride. “You don’t always have 15,000 people at an event,” said Brenda Mercer of Conthe ladies’ room. cord as she waited to get into She came with her family

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Craning their necks and clapping to Appalachian music, West Virginians bid farewell to Robert C. Byrd, their beloved senator who rose from poverty in a coal mining town to become the nation’s longest-serving member of Congress. President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton and other dignitaries watched as Byrd’s casket was carried down the redcarpeted steps of the state Capitol where he began his political career in 1947. Byrd, who died Monday at 92, never lost an election.

83,000 new private sector jobs not enough for recovery WASHINGTON (AP) — A second straight month of lackluster hiring by American businesses is sapping strength from the economic rebound. The jobless rate fell to 9.5 percent in June, still too high to signal a healthy economy. It came in slightly lower than the month before only because more than a half-million people gave up looking for work and were no longer counted as unemployed. The private sector added just 83,000 jobs for the month. Looked at from that angle or almost any other, from a teetering housing market to falling factory orders, the recovery is limping along as it enters the year’s second half. And that is when the benefits of most of the government’s stimulus spending will begin to wear off. The fate of the economy will hinge on whether it can stand on its own. President Barack Obama acknowledged the slow pace of the recovery and used the new jobs figures to argue for more stimulus spending and extended unemployment benefits. “We’re not headed there fast enough for a lot of Americans,” the president said. “We’re not headed there fast enough for me, either.”

GOP official criticized for calling Afghanistan ‘war of Obama’s choosing’ WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican chairman Michael Steele drew criticism from within his own party Friday, including calls to resign, after saying the 9-year-old commitment of U.S. troops to Afghanistan was a mistaken “war of Obama’s choosing.” As criticism swelled, Steele issued a statement stressing his support for U.S. troops, but he did not STEELE acknowledge his factual error about a war launched by former President George W. Bush in response to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A senior official in Bush’s administration said it would be impossible for the Republican National Committee to speak with credibility on foreign policy if Steele re-

mained chairman. For Democrats, looking at a difficult environment ahead of November’s midterm elections, the gaffe was an opportunity to test their strategy of attacking the GOP with its members’ own words. In remarks captured Thursday on camera and posted online, Steele criticized President Barack Obama and his handling of the Afghan war and suggested the war cannot be won. “If he’s such a student of history, has he not understood that, you know, that’s the one thing you don’t do is engage in a land war in Afghanistan? All right? Because everyone who’s tried, over a thousand years of history, has failed,” Steele said. “And there are reasons for that. There are other ways to engage in Afghanistan.” Republican officials confirmed Steele made the comments in Connecticut at a fundraiser closed to media.

NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc. said it was “stunned” to find that its iPhones have for years been using a “totally wrong” formula to determine how many bars of signal strength they are getting. Apple said that’s the reason behind widespread complaints from users that the latest model, iPhone 4, can show a sudden plunge in signal strength when they hold it in a way that covers a small black strip on one edge of the phone. That drop seems exaggerated because the phone can wrongly display four or five bars of signal strength when it shouldn’t, Apple said. “Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place,” the company said in a statement to users. Yet the statement that the bar display is “totally wrong” is surprising, since there is no standard formula in the industry for translating signal strength to bars.

Marijuana case against Paris Hilton dropped PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa (AP) — A court in South Africa has dropped a marijuana-smoking case against Paris Hilton. The socialite appeared Friday in a FIFA World Cup courtroom after being arrested on suspicion of possession of marijuana at a quarterfinal match between Brazil and the Netherlands. The authorities dropped the charges against Hilton, after her co-accused, Jennifer Rovero, “acknowledged to be in possession of cannabis, and pleaded guilty,” said Brig. Sally De Beer, a spokeswoman for South African police. Rovero, 31, from New York, was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 rand ($130) or 30 days imprisonment, De Beer said. A publicist for Hilton said the incident was a “misunderstanding.”

West Virginians, political leaders bid farewell to Byrd

“I’ll remember him as he was when I came to know him,” Obama said, “his white hair flowing like a mane, his gait steady with a cane, determined to make the most of every last breath. The distinguished gentleman from West Virginia could be found at his desk to the very end and doing the people’s business.” Obama recalled an early discussion with Byrd, who as a young man joined the Ku Klux Klan. “He said there are some things I regretted in my youth,” Obama said. “I said, ‘None of us are absent of some regrets. ... That’s why we enjoy and seek the grace of God.’ ”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — BP and the Obama administration face mounting complaints that they are ignoring foreign offers of equipment and making little use of the fishing boats and volunteers available to help clean up what may now be the biggest spill ever in the Gulf of Mexico. The Coast Guard said there have been 107 offers of help from 44 nations, ranging from technical advice to skimmer boats and booms. But many of those offers are weeks old, and only a small number have been accepted. The vast majority are still under review, according to a list kept by the State Department. For reasons BP hasn’t explained, many fishing boats hired for the cleanup have mostly been waiting around. A report prepared by investigators with the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., detailed one case in which the Dutch government offered April 30 to provide four oil skimmers that collectively could process more than 6 million gallons of oily water a day. It took seven weeks for the U.S. to approve the offer. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs scorned the idea that “somehow it took the command 70 days to accept international help.”

HELENA, Mont. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The U.S. House of Representatives attached a $3.4 billion government settlement with Indian trust beneficiaries to a war-funding bill that it passed just before breaking for the July Fourth holiday. The settlement was one of several additions made late Thursday to the $80 billion appropriations bill that includes funding for the troop surge in Afghanistan and money for federal disaster assistance. It authorizes the Obama administration to settle a class-action lawsuit with between 300,000 and 500,000 American Indians who claims the Interior Department mismanaged billions of dollars held in trust by the government. The House originally authorized the settlement in May, but it was tucked into the Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jobs legislation that stalled in a Senate filibuster late last month. The plaintiffs hope including the settlement in the warfunding and disaster-relief bill will mean the Senate will approve it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect that the Senate must give prompt and serious consideration to the bill because, without enactment, there are no funds for our war efforts and no funds for FEMA,â&#x20AC;? plaintiffs attorney Dennis Gingold said Friday. Another $1.15 billion for a discrimination settlement between African-American farmers and the Agriculture Department is also in the bill.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two Virginia suspects in an alleged spy ring have admitted they are Russian citizens living in the U.S. under false identities, prosecutors said Friday, as officials in Cyprus said another defendant in the bust has likely fled the island after being set free on bail. The defendants known as Michael Zottoli and Patricia Mills told authorities after their arrest that their real names are Mikhail Kutzik and Natalia Pereverzeva, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday. The pair were arrested in Arlington, Va., where they have been living as a married couple with two young children. Zottoli and Mills, along with a third defendant, Mikhail Semenko, remained jailed after waiving their right Friday to a detention hearing. They are among 11 people arrested this week. Six other defendants had already appeared in court, and one was granted bail that will include electronic monitoring and home detention. In Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court filing, prosecutors said Zottoli and Mills had $100,000 in cash and phony passports and other identity documents stashed in safe deposit boxes. Also Friday in the Cypriot capital of Nicosia, Justice Minister Loucas Louca it was unlikely that Christopher Metsos, 54, would be apprehended there. Metsos is wanted in the United States on charges that he supplied money to the METSOS spy ring. Metsos disappeared Wednesday after a Cypriot court freed him on bail. Louca strongly defended Cypriot authoritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; handling of the affair, which left the government deeply embarrassed and stung by rumors that it was somehow complicit in Metsosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; disappearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we wanted him (Metsos) to evade, as we have been accused, we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have tried as hard to arrest him in the first place,â&#x20AC;? he said. Another suspect arrested in the U.S., Juan Lazaro, has admitted to living in New York for years under a fake identity and lying about being citizen of Peru, as he had long claimed, prosecutors said.

Retro victory for Earnhardt Jr. BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove the No. 3 Wrangler car to a win in the Nationwide Series race.

Jackson sharpens his focus

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The No. 3 went back to Victory Lane at Daytona International Speedway, where Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove a car that honored his late father to his first NASCAR victory in more than two years. “I was so worried that I wasn’t going to win, because nothing but winning was good enough, for everybody in the world,” Earnhardt said. “If you didn’t win, what a waste of time.” Earnhardt, winless in any NASCAR points race since a Sprint Cup victory at Michi-

gan in 2008, took the lead on pit road under caution with 26 laps to go Friday night in the Nationwide Series race. Running a No. 3 Chevrolet with a Wrangler paint scheme to honor his father’s induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Earnhardt brought his loyal fans to EARNHARDT their feet for the final sprint to the checkered flag. “I worked hard to try to win it, not only for Daddy, I am proud of him going into the

Hall of Fame, and he would be proud of this, I’m sure,” Earnhardt said. “Just all his fans. He had so many great fans. Not just mine. This is for his fans. Hopefully, they enjoyed this.” Paul Menard’s wreck with four laps to go put the outcome in jeopardy, and Earnhardt decided not to pit under the caution. On old tires, he had to hold off Joey Logano for his first Nationwide victory since Michigan in 2006. Tony Eury Jr., Earnhardt’s cousin and crew chief, was overcome with emotion as Earnhardt crossed the finish line.

LEGION BASEBALL PLAYOFFS

BY MIKE CRANSTON Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — To understand why Stephen Jackson showed up for the Charlotte Bobcats’ summer camp featuring mostly undrafted rookies and journeymen, you need to know what he’s been dreaming about. It’s a recurring nightmare, really. Not even sleep allows Jackson to escape the way the franchise’s best season ended, JACKSON with a listless performance in the final game of Orlando’s four-game sweep in the first round of the playoffs. “I had a dream about that last game probably three times since the season has been over with,” Jackson said. Jackson used colorful language to describe how he relives the season finale, shaking his head as he thought about going 2 of 11 from the field and committing four turnovers to make for a quick exit in the Bobcats’ first playoff appearance. “It’s sad to say I wasn’t focused in the fourth game of a playoff series,” Jackson said. “That’s been kind of hard on me. I just want to get better.” Combine that with coach Larry Brown’s strong suggestion that he become leaner, and Jackson was back on the court a couple weeks ago, the earliest he’s returned in the offseason in his 10-year NBA career. “If I would have been 10 to 15 pounds lighter, I would have been moving a little better, my defense would have been better,” Jackson said. “A lot of things would have been better. So when he told me that, I definitely agreed with him.” The 6-foot-8 Jackson said he played at 240 pounds, bulking up because he began the season in Golden State, where he played mostly small forward. Jackson moved to shooting guard when the Warriors gave in to his trade demands and shipped him to Charlotte. He went on to average 21.1 points in 72 games with the Bobcats, squashing any concerns about how his sometimes volatile persona would mesh with the demanding Brown. Jackson helped lead to the Bobcats to a franchiserecord 44 wins and the seventh seed in the East. But the postseason wasn’t kind. Jackson hyperextended his left knee in Game 1, shot 6 of 18 and missed a key 3-pointer in the final minute of a close loss in Game 3, then was a non-factor with eight points in the series finale. “I know how important this comeback year after making the playoffs is to (owner Michael) Jordan and the organization and the city,” Jackson said. “That’s another reason I’m here working.”

Rowan County starting pitcher Parker Gobbel walks off the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning. He allowed one unearned run and struck out six.

Rowan speeds to sweep BY MIKE LONDON

mlondon@salisburypost.com

MOCKSVILLE — An epidemic of sore arms changed Rowan 6 the look of Rowan Mocksville 1 County’s defense, but pitcher Parker Gobbel’s right limb felt fine, and he dominated Mocksville 6-1 on Friday night.

Rowan scored all its runs on homers. Matt Miller, Luke Thomas, Hayden Untz and Will Sapp connected at Rich Park. Rowan swept the MILLER best-of-three, firstround series. It eliminated Mocksville for the third straight year and is 14-0

in playoff series against its neighbor. Second-seeded Rowan (23-8) now awaits the Mooresville-Lexington winner. A best-of-five second round series opens Sunday at Newman Park. Seventh-seeded Mocksville (9-17) took advantage of two errors to push across an unearned run in the first, but Gobbel put up zeroes the rest of the night until coach Jim Gantt turned to the bullpen in the eighth. Between

high school and Legion, Gobbel is an amazing 19-0 over a two-year period. “Parker had a pretty good slider again,” said Thomas, Rowan’s catcher. “He was using it any count.” Gobbel used his slider to start off some hitters and to put away others. He lived on the outside corner or a few inches off it.

South beats Concord, advances to second round BY DAVID SHAW

CONCORD — There are no Ks in Colten Love’s S. Rowan 10 name, but there Concord 2 were 14 next to it in the scorebook Friday night. That’s what top-seeded South Rowan overcame in its 10-2 seriesclinching victory at Concord.

“We chased a lot of curveballs tonight,” third baseman Patrick Bearden said after South (22-4) swept Post 51 into a first-round dustpan. “We’re usually not like that. We’re usually a lot BEARDEN more disciplined.” South nonetheless made it look

easy against Love, a right-handed whiffmaster who yielded eight earned runs in 71⁄3 innings. “We had a hard time picking up his breaking ball,” winning coach Michael Lowman said after SR advanced to the best-of-five second round beginning Sunday. “He made us swing at bad pitches. We worked on it a lot today in BP and I told them that’s what was gonna happen. We tried to prepare them, but it didn’t

look like they got the message.” Bearden must have. He delivered the game’s most important blow — a three-run homer to right-center that gave South a 4-1 lead in the third inning. “Yeah, we were working backside in practice,” he acknowledged. “And then I hit it out to the opposite field. That was my approach, to go the other way.”

Woods barely makes cut Associated Press

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. — Justin Rose was happy to be leading the AT&T National, especially because it was only five days ago that he threw away a chance to win with a surprising meltdown in the final round. Tiger Woods? He’s happy to still be playing. Rose played bogey-free Friday and wound up with the best score of the tournament, a 6under 64, to build a one-shot lead over Jason Day and Charlie Wi going into the weekend at demanding Aronimink Golf Club. Woods, who won this tournament last year at Congressional, hit the ball well for the second straight day. He again got nothing out of it, however, and missed a 30-inch putt late in the round that brought him back to a 70. He was at 3-over 143, which made the cut on the number, although he was never in serious danger of going home early. “I’m driving it on a string right now, and that’s fun,” Woods said. “But if you don’t make putts, no matter how good you hit the golf ball, you’re not going to shoot good scores.” The scoring improved slightly in the second round, especially in the afternoon as the wind began to calm. Rose said his round was helped by being in the same group with Sean O’Hair (68) and J.B. Holmes (69), who also played well.

COLLEGEBASKETBALL

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has settled on the format for the new 68-team men’s basketball tournament, though the announcement isn’t scheduled until sometime next week. The committee was known to have looked at at least three possibilities. One would slot the bottom eight teams in the tournament into the opening round and have them play for the right to move on to the round of 64. Another option would put the last eight atlarge teams to make the field into the play-in games. There was also talk of a hybrid plan that could include both at-large teams and automatic qualifiers.  STORRS, Conn. — Connecticut has hired two men with strong ties to the men’s basketball program to replace assistant coaches who resigned amid an NCAA investigation. The school announced Friday that Kevin Ollie, a former UConn point guard who played 13

seasons in the NBA, has been hired as an assistant coach. Former Pennsylvania coach Glenn Miller, who began his coaching career as an assistant at UConn, has been hired as director of men’s basketball administration.

Tuberville said he’s not sure how long a 10-team league will last.

More meetings for top free agents BY BRIAN MAHONEY Associated Press

Amare Stoudemire is out of Phoenix and headed to New York — for a meeting. If the Knicks are willing to give him a maximum salary contract, a deal might not be far behind. Speaking of meetings, Dwyane Wade had a second one with the Chicago Bulls on Friday, perhaps a sign that his return to Miami isn’t as guaranteed as once thought. “Things are getting very interesting,” Wade said after the 21⁄2-hour meeting, which he said he agreed to at the team’s request. Paul Pierce agreed to stick around in Boston and the Mavericks let Dirk Nowitzki know how much they want him to remain in Dallas, but many of the leading names in this free agency class are still available. Though the focus has been on LeBron James, Wade and Chris Bosh, Stoudemire might be able to land big bucks before them. When the Suns gave longterm deals to Channing Frye and Hakim Warrick, it became clear that Stoudemire was on his way out of Phoenix. His agent, Happy Walters, confirmed that the Suns were no longer in the picture and said Stoudemire was going to New York this weekend to meet with the Knicks “but we’re talking to other teams as well.” Walters said there is “a structure of an offer on the table” from the Knicks. He added no matter where Stoudemire signs, it will be for the maximum of five years and about $100 million. The Knicks might be willing to spend that if they feel they’ll fall short in pitches they made to James on Thursday, and Wade and Bosh on Friday. James received visits Friday from the Heat and Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat have also spoken to Stoudemire and Bosh

JACKSON FROM 1B But next season’s team could have a different look. The Bobcats, close to the luxury tax, have made no attempt to re-sign point guard Raymond Felton. With Felton getting interest from other teams, D.J. Augustin could be promoted to starter. The trade-happy Bobcats could also pull off a deal to get Jackson a new backcourt mate. “Whatever happens, everybody has to be prepared for it,” Jackson said. “Ray is my little brother, so I just want the best for him. Whether it’s here, whether it’s wherever.

A billboard in support of Dwyane Wade remaining with the Heat is displayed in downtown Miami. as they try to find a player or players to come join Wade — if he sticks around South Florida. “This is a very fluid process,” Heat president Pat Riley said. “We’ve had five meetings across the country in the span of 40 hours. We will continue with the process. It’s still early in free agency, but we feel very good with how our presentations have gone thus far.” Wade has long said his preference was to stay in Miami, but he’s given himself options. He met with the Bulls and New Jersey Nets on Thursday, then got a pitch from the Knicks on Friday. “It was a good meeting, it was a real good meeting and I will say I’m intrigued,” he said, declining further comment before driving away. Then he sat down again with the Bulls, his hometown team which has been considered a favorite to land James. The league’s MVP will meet with them today and first talking to Chicago. The Celtics’ four-year contract with Pierce was not announced, but it was confirmed to The Associated Press by a Boston official familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition

of anonymity because the free agent signing period does not begin until Thursday. “Both sides made it clear that staying together was best for the team,” the official said. Terms of the contract were not immediately available. The Boston Herald, which first reported on the deal, said Pierce would get $61 million over four years, with a mutual option for the fourth year. Mavericks president Donnie Nelson said he made a “significant” contract offer to Nowitzki’s adviser during a meeting Friday. Nowitzki could respond as soon as today, when the sides are expected to meet again. Warrick agreed to a fouryear, $18 million deal with Phoenix on Friday, shortly after Frye agreed to a five-year, $30 million offer to re-sign with the Suns. The Bucks made another move, agreeing in principle to a $40 million, five-year deal with free agent guard John Salmons, a person familiar with the negotiations told The AP. Deals can’t be signed until July 8, after the salary cap for next season has been determined.

“Obviously, we made a big step with getting to the playoffs with Ray at point guard. So if he’s here I’ll be happy. If D.J. has to step up, I’ll support him.” Whomever plays point guard will play with a different-looking Jackson, he vows. Not only does he plan to get down to 225 pounds, Jackson indicated his game will change after an offseason chat with Brown. “LB wants me to average a triple-double. ... That’s a big compliment. He’s a Hall of Fame coach,” Brown said. “I think what he means by that is to find a way to make my teammates better. But when it’s (pressure) time, that’s when it’s time for me to take over. I’ve got to find the fine line between that.”

With Gerald Wallace returning after his first All-Star season and with Charlotte interested in keeping restricted free agent Tyrus Thomas, Jackson feels the Bobcats can be a playoff team again next season. Jackson had high praise for Derrick Brown, who was used little as a rookie but is part of the Bobcats’ summer league team. Jackson has clearly warmed to Charlotte, thriving last season and staying out of trouble as he slowly improves an image tarnished early in his career by his role in the Auburn Hills, Mich., brawl in 2004. “I still feel like I’ve got something to prove,” Jackson said. “I think just being around the game is going to help me get better.”

Rookie revives Red Sox Associated Press

BOSTON — Pinch-hitter Daniel Nava sliced a bloop single down the right-field line to break an eighth-inning tie and give injury-depleted Boston a 3-2 victory over Baltimore on Friday night. Nava, a switch-hitter best known for hitting a grand slam on the first major league pitch he saw on June 12, batted for Eric Patterson when lefty Will Ohman replaced Brad Bergesen (3-5) with two outs and Marco Scutaro on second with a double. Nava popped a 2-1 pitch down the line and Scutaro scored easily. Tim Wakefield (3-6) got the win, allowed two runs and seven hits in eight innings for his second win in his last six decisions. J.D. Drew hit two solo homers for the Red Sox. Jays 6, Yankees 1 (11) NEW YORK — Alex Gonzalez hit a go-ahead single in the 11th inning and Toronto snapped a five-game losing streak.

Twins 2, Rays 1 MINNEAPOLIS — Danny Valencia had two hits and the go-ahead RBI in the seventh inning and Minnesota outlasted David Price and Tampa Bay.

Braves 4, Marlins 3 (11) ATLANTA — Omar Infante’s two-run single in the 11th inning helped Atlanta rally past Florida for its 15th victory in its final at-bat. Infante’s single to leftcenter off closer Leo Nunez (3-2) scored Brian McCann and pinch-runner Brandon Hicks. McCann drew a leadoff walk and Troy Glaus doubled to put runners at second and third with none out. Braves closer Billy Wagner blew a save when Gaby Sanchez’s ninth homer tied it at 2 in the ninth.

Wesley Sneijder, center right, scores the go-ahead goal on a header.

Day of dramatic endings Associated Press

PORT ELIZABETH, South Africa — Soccer’s perennial World Cup underachievers from the Netherlands knocked off mighty Brazil on Friday, stamping the Dutch as a strong contender to finally win that elusive title. Wesley Sneijder, one of the shortest players on the field, scored in the 68th minute on a header for a stunning 2-1 quarterfinals win over the five-time champions. “It just slipped through from my bald head and it was a great feeling,” Sneijder said. Brazil, which also went out in this round four years ago against France, lost its composure after falling behind, and defender Felipe Melo was ejected in the 73rd minute for stomping on the leg of Arjen Robben. The Dutch made the championship match in 1974 and ’78, lost both, and rarely have lived up to their talent in other World Cups. They did this time, helped by an own goal off the head of unfortunate Felipe Melo that brought them into a 1-1 tie in the 53rd. “I have to apologize to the Brazilian fans,” he said. “I came here thinking about giving Brazil the title, but I’m a human being. Everybody can make mistakes.” Robinho gave the Brazilians the lead on Felipe Melo’s brilliant low pass up the middle of the field that the striker put home with a low shot. But soon, the Dutch took control, and the end of the match presented the unusual sight of the Brazilians scrambling wildly to find an equalizer. Uruguay 1, Ghana 1 (4-2 on PKs) JOHANNESBURG — Nothing, it seemed, would go in for Ghana. Not the shot kicked away at the goal line. Not the block ruled a handball an instant later as extra time ticked to a close. Not the subsequent penalty kick that sure-footed Asamoah Gyan sent bouncing straight up off the crossbar. And not two more tries in the shootout as Uruguay, suddenly still alive, made four kicks and won the match 4-2 after a 1-1 draw. The South Americans are headed to the World Cup semifinals for the first time in 40 years. The Ghanaians were headed home in tears.

WIMBLEDON, England — Rafael Nadal is back in the Wimbledon final for the fourth time in his last four appearances, while Britain’s 74-year wait for a homegrown men’s champion goes on. The top-ranked Spaniard took apart fourth-seeded Andy Murray 6-4, 7-6 (6), 6-4 on Friday to move within one win of a second Wimbledon title and an eighth Grand Slam championship. Nadal will be a heavy favorite in Sunday’s final against 12th-seeded Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic, who defeated No. 3 Novak Djokovic 6-3, 7-6 (9), 6-3 to reach his first Grand Slam title match. Nadal won Wimbledon in 2008, beating Roger Federer in an epic five-set final, but was unable to defend his title last year because of tendinitis in both knees. Nadal now has the chance to reclaim his crown. “For me, it was amazing day, very important victory for me, one of the more difficult victories of my career,” Nadal said. “I think it’s one of the biggest victories in my career.” Nadal ended Murray’s hopes of becoming the first British player to win the men’s title since Fred Perry in 1936. No British man has even reached the final since Henry “Bunny” Austin in 1938, and British men have now lost in 10 Wimbledon semifinals since then. After Nadal saved a set point in the tiebreaker and went up two sets to love, it was always unlikely he would let the lead slip. Even though he went down a break in the third set, Nadal fought back and ran off four games in a row to close out the match. “I had chances in all of the sets,”

“It’s hard luck. You know, we had (an) opportunity to win this game,” Gyan said, “but unfortunately, that is football for you.” With time running out, a scramMUSLERA ble in front of the Uruguay net caught goalkeeper Fernando Muslera out of position. A shot by Ghana was kicked away on the goal line by Luis Suarez. Then, Dominic Adiyiah’s header was cleared off the goal line by Suarez — using his arm. That drew a red card for the striker, who will miss the semifinal, and sent Gyan to the penalty spot. All he needed to do was send it past Muslera — and that would have sent the Black Stars into the semifinals, an African first at the World Cup. Child’s play for Gyan, who twice in the tourney had scored on a penalty kick. He stared down Muslera, then stroked the ball solidly. Just as solidly, it hit the crossbar. Gyan stumbled away holding his head. “To be among the four best (teams) in the world, there are no words for that,” Uruguay striker Diego Forlan said. “We felt we were going to faint with each penalty.” Rather than faint, Uruguay pounced on an almost unimaginable second chance. The shootout moved to 3-2 for Uruguay and Muslera guessed correctly, diving left for an easy save on John Mensah. After Maximiliano Pereira’s kick skied over the net for Uruguay, the vuvuzelas again were at their loudest. But Muslera also stopped Adiyiah, and Sebastian Abreu won it with a soft but accurate placement as Kingson dived right. “It’s a way of kicking (penalties). I believe in it, and the team has given me confidence to believe it’s the right way,” Abreu said. Uruguayans saluted Suarez, whose act of desperation wound up saving the Celeste. “I think I made the best save of the World Cup,” he said. Asked if this had been another “hand of God” moment similar to Diego Maradona’s famous 1986 goal, he said it was the “hand of Suarez.”

Rafael Nadal won in straight sets against Andy Murray. Murray said. “It was the difference of maybe five or six points. He just played better than me. You’re not going to be able to play every single point on your terms against the best player in the world, one of the best players ever.” 

For the women’s final at Wimbledon, Serena will be the serene one. On one side today we’ll have Miss Williams, wearing a strawberry and cream dress befitting the occasion, and hoping to celebrate her 13th Grand Slam title with the same dainty curtsy she showed the queen of England last week. On the other side we’ll have Russian Vera Zvonareva, towel draped over her head during changeovers as if hiding from her reputation for crying jags, temper tantrums and collapses in big matches.

FROM 1B

FROM 1B The home run was Bearden’s fourth of the season and came on a misplaced 0-1 fastball from Love. “He was pitching backwards — getting ahead with the breaking ball, then showing the fastball,” said Concord coach Jaymie Russ, who later consulted with catcher Armando Casteneda. “Armando said it was actually a good pitch. Outside, off the plate. That was just a good piece of hitting.” Love faltered in the eighth after allowing a run-scoring single to Blake Houston. He used his slow-bending curve and take-a-seat slider to fan seven consecutive batters between the fourth and sixth innings, though one of those reached base on a throwing error. “Colten threw his heart out,” Russ said after Concord finished 8-15. “ T h a t ’ s everything you wanted to see from a guy with his back against the wall.” Not to be overlooked WALKER was the opportunistic work of winning pitcher Dylan Walker. The confident lefty tossed eight productive innings, allowed a pair of early runs, induced 12 groundouts and improved to 6-0. “That ties me with my cousin,” he said, a reference to former South hurler Walker Snow. “He’s always giving me crap because he had the record for most wins (in a season). Put that in the paper.” Walker received spotless support from South’s defense, which converted its fourth and fifth double plays of the series. Top-shelf defensive plays were turned in by Bearden, second baseman Julio Zubillaga and center fielder Houston, who made a tumbling catch to rob Eric Brenk of a run-scoring hit in the eighth. “It seems like every game I pitch, Blake makes a diving catch,” Walker said. “Nothing drops when he’s out there.” Houston also provided an offensive spark. He delivered three singles, scored three times and swiped two bases. “We got some breaks and that helped us win tonight,” said Houston. “I think if we keep playing like this, we’ll keep winning. It feels like we can beat anybody.”  NOTES: Bearden collected a fourth RBI on an eighth-inning groundout. ... South meets fifth-seeded Wilkes County (11-9) in the second round.

Rowans Andy Austin scored on Will Sapps two-run homer in the ninth inning.

Rowan was fortunate Gobbel was on because Mocksville right-hander D.J. Webb was also at his best. Both hurlers got a little help from the sun, which stared directly in at helpless hitters. “The sun was tough and D.J. really had a good curveball,” Thomas said. “He had everyone off-balance.” Webb held Mocksville’s precarious 1-0 lead through five brisk innings, but Miller, getting a rare start at third base with a tender-armed Noah Holmes limited to first base, got Rowan even with one swing when he led off the sixth with a homer to left. “D.J. was mixing it up real well on most of our hitters, but he’d thrown me a lot of curveballs and I was sitting on one,” Miller said. Gobbel allowed a triple to Ryan Carter with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, but he kept the score 1-1 with one of his six strikeouts. Holmes singled crisply to start the Rowan seventh, and Webb then made the mistake of leaving a high changeup in the powerful Thomas’ wheelhouse. Thomas absolutely crushed a two-run homer to put Rowan ahead to stay. “We never start hitting until the sun goes down,” Gobbel said with a grin. He may be right. Two outs after Thomas’ bomb, Untz teed off, pulling a shot to right off his high school teammate to make it 4-1. Both Webb and Untz are West Rowan grads. “It was a good game and a really quick game because the pitchers on both teams were doing a great job,” Gantt said. “We were just fortunate that D.J. left a couple of changeups up, and our guys didn’t miss them.” Webb was a hard-luck guy most of his senior year at West, and except for his wearing a different uniform this one wasn’t a lot different than his draining losses at East Rowan and Carson. “I wasn’t tired at all and I was still getting ahead in the count when they started hitting home runs,” Webb said. “I was cruising, feeling good,

JIM GANTT but then I left a few pitches high, and they just hit them.” Gobbel exited after walking two in the eighth. Alex Litaker got Rowan through that inning, but not without a scare. Carter nearly greeted him with a homer. Sapp ran the ball down at the fence in left-center. “When that one left the bat, I was thinking, ‘Dang, it’s tied up again,’ ” Gantt said. “We all took a deep breath.” Sapp ripped a two-run homer in the ninth off reliever Joe Watson. Then Rowan closer Will Johnson came in to put Mocksville to bed.

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The Dow Jones industrial average dropped for a seventh straight day, its longest losing streak since the height of the financial crisis in October 2008. A disappointing jobs report added to investors’ concerns that the economic recovery is losing steam. The Dow ended down 46 points at 9,686.48 Friday after the government said private employers added only 83,000 jobs last month, fewer than the 112,000 analysts had forecast. The Dow was essentially flat in the last five minutes before sliding just before the close ahead of the long Independence Day weekend. Gasoline prices have changed very little this week and, by some analyst estimates, may even fall a bit over the long holiday weekend. The good news for motorists is that even with more people expected on the roads, ample supplies and anemic demand likely will keep prices fairly stable and below $3 a gallon this summer. The national average for retail gasoline prices fell .04 cent to $2.75 a gallon Friday, according to Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. That’s 12 cents higher than a year ago

but well below the $3 a gallon analysts were calling for back in March and April. Toyota Motor Corp. said it intends to recall 138,000 Lexus vehicles in the United States to fix faulty engines in the latest quality problem to afflict the world’s No. 1 automaker. The Japanese automaker said flaws in valve springs, a crucial engine component, could make the vehicle stall while in motion. Toyota confirmed in a statement it plans to file paperwork with the government on the recall next week. The recall affects certain GS, IS and LS vehicles from the 2006-2008 model years. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s chief merchandising officer, John Fleming, is leaving the company Aug. 1 after 10 years, the world’s largest retailer said. Fleming, who played a big role in shaping what was on store shelves, will be replaced temporarily by two people: Jack Sinclair, an executive vice president, will oversee food and health and wellness merchandise; John Westling, another executive vice president, will oversee general merchandise and replenishment.

Rainout puts Harvick on pole BY MARK LONG Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Kevin Harvick had no chance to start from the pole at Daytona International Speedway — until the rain came. Harvick, the Sprint Cup points leader, was awarded the pole for tonight’s Coke Zero 400 when rain washed out qualifying Friday. “Obviously, that’ll make things a little easier at the beginning of the race to get things going,” Harvick said. Harvick was one of only 12 cars that completed qualifying laps Friday before showers, but the best he would have started the race was ninth. Sam Hornish Jr.

turned the fastest lap, but he will start 30th based on owner’s points. The field was set by points for the third time this season. Qualifying at Martinsville and Talladega also was rained out. It also was the third time in the last four years that rain wiped out qualifying at Daytona in July. It happened in 2007 and 2009. Four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson will start on the outside of the first row. Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Gordon and Kurt Busch round out the first three rows. Hamlin won’t get to stay there, though. Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Reed Sorenson will have to start from the back of the field after crashing Thursday night and go-

ing to backup cars. NASCAR rules state that cars unable to turn any laps during practice or qualifying have to start at the back of the pack because of safety concerns. David Stremme, Bobby Labonte, Travis Kvapil, Steve Park, Max Papis, J.J. Yeley, Joe Nemechek and Dave Blaney were beneficiaries of the rain. They all earned automatic spots instead of having to qualify on speed. Todd Bodine and Michael McDowell were sent home, unable to attempt to get into the 43-car field. Harvick, meanwhile, will lead the field to the green flag. At Daytona, he said the most important part about being up front is the fact that it comes with getting the first stall on pit road.

Kentucky joins mix for 2011

RETRO FROM 1B

BY WILL GRAVES Associated Press

Speedway Motorsports Inc. has submitted a scheduling request to NASCAR for the 2011 season, perhaps finally opening the door for the company to bring a Sprint Cup race to Kentucky Speedway. NASCAR chairman Brian France said Friday that track operators SMI and International Speedway Corp. have both submitted schedule proposals for 2011. “They’ve followed the policy that we have laid out on realignment,” France said. “We’ll have to see how it all fits into the greater schedule as we go in the next couple weeks.” SMI officials had no immediate comment, but chairman Bruton Smith has been vocal about his desire to bring the elite Cup series to his property in northern Kentucky. The speedway located about halfway between Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati already hosts NASCAR Nationwide and Truck series races as well as an annual visit by the IndyCar Series. The track’s former ownership group tried to bring a Cup race to the 1.5-mile tri-oval for years, even filing an antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR and ISC in 2005. A lengthy court battle ensued, with NASCAR and ISC winning each round until proceedings finally ended last month when the ownership group opted not to petition the U.S. Supreme Court. Smith, who purchased the track in 2008, has long cited the court case as a stumbling block and has spent the last 18 months giving the facility a facelift in preparation for landing a Cup race. Plans are also in place to expand capacity from 65,000 to as much as 110,000 whenever the track gets a Cup date.

Chase format under review BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR is considering tweaking the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, with chairman Brian France wanting to create more drama. “We want to make sure (the Chase) is giving us the biggest impact moments it was designed to do,” France said Friday. “Everything, to us, means pushing the winning envelope to mean what it needs to mean in our sport. We’re happy with the Chase, (but) if we can enhance it in a pretty significant way, we may do that.” The Chase was one of several topics France covered Friday at Daytona International Speedway during a question-and-answer session. Also under consideration are changes to the second-tier Nationwide Series that could affect the participation of Cup drivers and scheduling requests made by track operators Inter-

national Speedway Corp. and Speedway Motorsports Inc. for the 2011 season. But it was the Chase that received the most attention as France admitted NASCAR is continuously trying to improve its championship system. France would not talk specifics, but in general terms, his ideas sounded as if NASCAR is considering both eliminations and tweaking the system to ensure that several drivers are in title contention during the season finale. “We like a playoff-style format for sure,” France said. “The big design is to have playoff type moments that only can be, in any sport, created when there’s a lot on the line at any one moment. That’s what the essence of Game 7s, eliminations and all that are.” Drivers immediately questioned where NASCAR is headed, while Jimmie Johnson seemed skeptical. “I know their No. 1 goal is to make it entertaining and exciting,” Johnson said. “The thing that I keep questioning them on is making sure that it fol-

lows the history of our sport and a champion is crowned in a way that respects the past and the past champions. Some of the ideas I’ve heard are absolutely crazy — it’s more of a crapshoot than anything.” Carl Edwards felt NASCAR should proceed with caution. “I believe that we should keep things as simple as possible,” Edwards said. “We should keep them the same. I think that if you change things over and over, and this is just my opinion, but if you constantly change things, then it makes it harder to believe in and feel comfortable with.” Denny Hamlin, considered the biggest challenger this season to Johnson’s reign, seemed opposed to any tweaks. “Why do we keep wanting to change chase format,” he posted on his Twitter page shortly after France concluded. “if we haven’t noticed already ... the more we change stuff the lower the ratings get.”

Daytona facing more track problems BY MARK LONG Associated Press

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Daytona International Speedway officials are doing everything possible to avoid another pesky pothole. Engineers, asphalt specialists and track workers spent Friday repeatedly checking every inch of the 21⁄2-mile superspeedway. The heightened surveillance came hours after inspectors found another damaged section of track between turns 1 and 2 — a few feet from the spot that nearly shut down the Daytona 500 in February. Workers used epoxy to repair a 1-foot-by-41⁄2-foot area as a “precautionary measure” late Thursday night, track president Robin Braig said. “It’s going to get tested,

The rectangle to the left was a repair done in February. but we are confident that the precautions we’re taking are going to make a great Coke Zero 400,” Braig said. NASCAR’s most storied track hasn’t been fully repaved since 1978, creating huge bumps through the highbanked turns and a slippery surface all around. Some drivers love it. Others, such as Dale Earnhardt Jr., have been critical. Everyone weighed in near-

ly five months ago, when a small hole between turns 1 and 2 took center stage at NASCAR’s marquee event. Days after the race, engineers decided a strip of pavement would be removed and reinforced with a concrete patch. The patch is about 6 feet wide and 18 feet long. Although officials believed it would hold up through tonight’s 400-mile race, they also scheduled a $20 million

repaving that begins Monday. But more damage developed after several practice sessions Thursday. Nationwide and Sprint Cup series cars turned laps for several hours — the first real test since February’s race. “It is the only area on the track that we’ve seen any deterioration or any added pressure, stress to the pavement,” Braig said. “We’ve used every piece of technology available to scan the entire surface since the Daytona 500, but it’s 32 years old. We did core samples and knew it was deteriorated enough that now’s the time to repave.” Until then, the focus will be on the repairs. How well will the patches hold up during a 250-mile Nationwide race and a 400-mile Cup race? There’s also practices, quali-

fying runs and a Grand-Am Series race on the road course that also runs through turns 1 and 2. And what would the fallout be if there are more delays in tonight’s main event? The Daytona 500 took more than six hours to complete and had hundreds, maybe even thousands, of fans heading to the exits during the delays. The Coke Zero 400 is at night and rain is in the forecast. “There’s not really a reason to be concerned about it,” two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart said. “It’s either going to work out fine or come apart. The big patch that they put down seems to be working pretty well. I don’t have a big sense of concern about it. If it comes apart, they’ll do what they need to do to fix it.”

“We lost everything here,” Eury said softly. “To come back with that number and do this, it means everything.” Dale Earnhardt was killed in a last-lap accident in the 2001 Daytona EURY 500. Earnhardt Jr. agreed to drive the No. 3, his father’s famed number, with the Wrangler paint scheme that the elder Earnhardt made famous and drove to one of his seven Cup c h a m p i onships. The promotion celebrated last month’s inaugural Hall of Fame induction ceremony and was a collabo- CHILDRESS ration with Richard Childress, who owns the rights to the No. 3 and was Earnhardt’s car owner, Earnhardt’s widow, Teresa, and JR Motorsports. “I was so worried that I wasn’t going to win,” Earnhardt said in Victory Lane. “Nothing but a win was good enough. It’s emotional, I’m proud of myself, I’m proud of what I’ve done with this group. It was trying emotionally to put it together.” It was Earnhardt’s third time driving the No. 3 since his father’s death, and he said this week he wouldn’t do it again — which he reiterated from Victory Lane. “This is it. No more 3 for me,” he said. Logano, who pushed Earnhardt on the final restart, finished second in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and considered in the closing laps how unpopular beating Earnhardt would have been. “I probably gained a lot of fans tonight by pushing the 3 to victory, but I’d much rather be in Victory Lane,” Logano said. “It’s cool to see the 3 in Victory Lane at Daytona. It’s really neat. A lot of people thought they would never see that again.” Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was third in a Ford for RoushFenway Racing. Brad Keselowski was fourth in a revamped Dodge Challenger for Penske Racing, while Kevin Harvick — the driver who replaced Earnhardt following his death — was fifth in a Chevrolet from Kevin Harvick Inc. Defending race winner Clint Bowyer was sixth and was followed by Kyle Busch and Ryan Newman. Brian Ickler and Steve Arpin, driving a JR Motorsports car, rounded out the top 10. The race was the first of four this season for revamped Nationwide Series cars — NASCAR’s attempt to give the second-tier series its own identity. Ford brought back the Mustang and Dodge rolled out a Challenger, while Toyota stuck with its Camry and Chevrolet an Impala. The cars will be fully integrated in 2011.

While she signs, he grasps her hands in order to understand what she is saying. A Jehovahs Witness convention for the deaf last weekend brought more than 1,000 people to Salisbury.

Later, she explained through her husband, who translated for her, that she benefits greatly from the conventions for the deaf. “It helps me be a better minister, a better person,” she said. “I always enjoy meeting old friends and always make new friends,” she said. “That’s one real blessing from this organization.” In Honduras, she and her husband, who can hear, speak the

t’s no mystery that we live in a fallen world. With history’s worst oil spill still gushing, our nation’s political atmosphere increasingly partisan, and much of the world’s population still living in poverty MEGAN and/or illitBEAN eracy, it’s easy for us to become frustrated and discouraged, wondering if we will ever be able to muster the incentive and means to make the world a healthier, more peaceful place. From the national news alone, I am forced to believe that the world is ending. But is negativity the right way to approach humanity’s problems? Sure, guilt and embarrassment are big motivators for change. Sometimes simply seeing the immensity of a problem is enough to make people want to solve it. Just reading about poverty in Africa or the extent to which Islamic fundamentalist schools threaten to outnumber general education schools in povertystricken Pakistan is enough to make my heart ache. So why don’t we act? There seems to be more to improvement than merely seeing faults. We can become so overwhelmed by legions of local, national, and global crises that we can’t decide where to start improving – or if we want to even try. The writer of Psalm 4:6 noted that “Many are asking ‘Who can show us anything good?’” All the news we really notice seems to carry nothing but disap-

pointment. If anyone is doing anything out there, it sure doesn’t seem to be working. Seeing this, more tentative people aren’t very motivated to join in. It’s easier to think that trouble is all there is to see this side of Heaven, and that we will have to do away with the world to fix it. When others accuse us of being to blame for at least part of the mess, we feel compelled to point out its overawing magnitude and the millions of others who aren’t acting either. Guilt is easily passed on from person to person (as many of us have noticed), with those involved moving towards resentment. And because finger-pointers are too busy looking where they’re pointing, nothing gets done about the issue itself, and the people who are working on it don’t get recognized. Let’s pause for a moment in this contemplation of the folly of blame-casting and finish that Bible verse. The psalmist continues: “‘Who can show us anything good?’ Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.” What was that? Surely there must be a good reason why he said to look at God when it’s people we’re having problems with. We can get so busy staring at the darkness of flawed human character that we no longer look at the Perfect One in whose image we were made. We meander in circles looking at this tortured planet, at how bad we are and have been. But why not look up, “where Christ is seated at the right hand of God,” at the giver of our victory whose perfect example we are supposed to follow? Look at how good we can be and are meant to be, but aren’t because we’re too busy looking at ourselves! Christians have the full-

Vatican reaches out to Vietnam VATICAN CITY (AP) — The pope will appoint a representative for Vietnam in a first step toward establishing diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the communist nation. Vietnam has 6 million Roman Catholics — the secondlargest Catholic community in Southeast Asia after the Philippines — but there have been tensions for decades between Catholics and the Hanoi government over church property seized by the Communists and other issues. Last week, a joint working group on improving ties met at the Vatican and agreed to appoint a nonresident representative to Vietnam, according to a Vatican statement released June 26. The Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, called it “a very concrete step toward diplomatic relations.”

being held in isolation because of the policy, department spokesman Larry Traylor said. Traylor refused to provide the list to the AP, but divulged the numbers. The review found that 48 inmates were being held in segregation for refusing to follow the policy. Of those, 13 are Rastafarians, who view growing their hair unbridled as a tenet of their religion. Traylor said he did not know the remaining inmates’ religions or reasons for disregarding the policy, nor did he know how long those others had been in segregation. The policy went into effect Dec. 15, 1999. Taylor Thornley, a spokeswoman for Gov. Bob McDonnell and Decker, would not comment on whether the re-

view means officials are considering changing the policy. “She was merely doing due diligence in her role as Secretary of Public Safety,” Thornley said of Decker, who refused to be interviewed. Traylor said the corrections department was not contemplating a change. If the prisoners choose to cut their hair, they can come out of segregation, he said. In addition to the Rastafarians, it is likely that Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Native Americans and others whose religious beliefs call for them not to cut their hair account for many of the others being segregated, said Kent Willis, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia.

Megan Bean will be a freshman at Catawba College this fall.

State grooming policy affects Rastafarians RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Nearly 50 Virginia prisoners are being held in perpetual isolation because they refuse to cut their hair, several for religious reasons. The Associated Press reported in May that 10 Rastafarian inmates had been in segregation for more than 10 years for refusing to comply with the state’s grooming policy, which calls for hair to be kept above the shirt collar and bans beards. The Department of Corrections confirmed the status of those inmates then, but wouldn’t reveal how many others were being segregated for not cutting their hair. Secretary of Public Safety Marla Graff Decker ordered the department to put together a list of all inmates who were

ness of God himself inside of them in the form of the Holy Spirit. They are able to fulfill his command to “be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48), but only if they look within for his power. God doesn’t expect or intend mediocrity in our mortal lives, and as long as we live here, whether or not that’s not much longer, he expects us to do our Spiritempowered best to make the world a better place than it was or is now. If we think we’re the only ones concerned with this mission, we need only to think of our Creator, whose job is never finished and whose concern none can match, and those special people who have been working quietly, patiently, without ever making national news — for there are indeed bright stars among this seemingly lackluster place. God is good, and as such he is the source of all other blessings we find; when we start looking at him, we can’t help noticing the pockets of light he has placed in our lives to encourage us, guide us, and keep our candles burning. So “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2). When you get discouraged or frustrated, look up to him who knows the situation from a heavenly perspective and can tell you what you need to do, give you what you lack, and be with you in the process. Ask him for a new perspective. You won’t be disappointed with the goodness you’ll start to see, and it will overflow into the lives of those around you, inspiring them to look past the world’s present brokenness into the glory God has waiting.

JEHOVAH FROM 1C do so from The Jehovah’s Witnesses website. DVDs of the Bible in ASL are given free of charge to those who want them. During the presentations, when the speaker cited scripture, the verse in ASL, cued up on a DVD player, popped up on screen. The Bible translators are entertaining even if you don’t understand ASL. The motions are rhythmic in a hip-hop sort of way, with facial expressions that might seem exaggerated to those not used to the language. Pippa took me backstage and introduced me to one of the convention organizers, Sonny McDowell, who supports all the deaf Jehovah’s Witness congregations from South Carolina to Pennsylvania, about 17 congregations in all with a total of 1,100 members. He’s been involved in that sort of outreach for about nine years. He got started when several people in Florida asked him if he could help start a congregation for the deaf there. He then met a couple from Cuba who were deaf. “I taught them the Bible, and they taught me the language (American Sign),” he said. It took him about two years before he was comfortable with signing. He was then able to help form a deaf congregation in Jacksonville. Things evolved from there, and he was asked if he would travel to help the deaf. Like other Witnesses, McDowell is a volunteer who receives no payment for his services. “I took a vow of poverty,” McDowell said. He stays in people’s homes when he’s traveling. “It always works out,” he says. “We have what we need.” Pippa, who lives in Savannah, Ga.,was also motivated to learn ASL through his association with the Witnesses. His wife, Jenny, learned first, he said. About 25 years ago she was helping a couple learn the Bible and began to learn a little ASL. Then, one year, he says, she helped a deaf person study until she was ready to be baptised, and that experience made her more committed to learning the language. She then began praying that he would learn as well, Pippa said. He wasn’t so sure, but after attending a meeting of the deaf in Raleigh, he began to come around. “I was so impressed by the spirit

and camaraderie,” he says. So he began to learn ASL — a process that was very frustrating to him for about a year and a half, he says. Then, it all began to click, he says. Jenny’s expertise with ASL has led to paying interpreter jobs at several Savannah colleges. That isn’t uncommon, Michael says. “A lot of Jehovah’s Witnesses have become interpreters,” he says.

Jehovah’s Witnesses baptism

‘I left the world’ On Saturday, seven people were baptized at midday, after listening to presenter Kim Nichols. Pippa quietly translated the presentation into English for me. A lot of it seemed to be an extended metaphor about driving — about how the Christian needs to look forward, and concentrate, and not be distracted. Speaking to those who were waiting to be baptized, Nichols told them how they would remember June 26, 2010: “I left the world.” The wall panel to the right of the stage was then rolled back, exposing the baptismal font. Two men ready to assist stood in the waist-deep water. The males went first, including a 10-year-old boy, the youngest to be baptized. Then, the women. I felt a little strange about taking pictures, but Pippa assured me it wouldn’t be a problem, that the act of baptism was symbolic, that it wasn’t a solemn ceremony as it is in some religions. Although a bit of signing went back and forth between the assistants and person being baptised, the communication was merely about the dunking process — about the need to pinch one’s nose and so forth. There was no ritualistic language. Assistants on the side wielded mops and made sure that no one slipped on a wet floor. There was a celebratory air to the proceedings, with plenty of pictures being taken and that hand-shaking applause. This weekend, a similar convention is being held at the assembly but for Frenchspeakers. From May to September, there will be 357 such conventions in 90 cities throughout the United States, conducted in languages from Chinese to Arabic to Tagalog. For more information about the Jehovah’s Witnesses, go to www.watchtower. org.

A deaf Jehovahs Witness gets some practical advice about pinching her nostrils together before she is dunked in the baptismal pool at the Jehovahs Witness Assembly Hall in Salisbury.

After her baptism, a Jehovahs Witness is hugged by her mentor, with whom she has studied the Bible.

What do Jehovah’s Witnesses believe? • The Bible is God’s word and is truth. • Christ was raised from the dead as an immortal spirit person. • We are now in the “time of the end” • The wicked will be eternally destroyed. • The human soul ceases to exist at death. • Only a little flock of 144,000 go to heaven and rule with Christ. • Images should not be used in worship. • A Christian should keep separate from the world. • Taking blood into the body through mouth or veins (including blood transfusions) violates God’s laws. • A clergy class and special titles are improper.

Baptism assistants wait in the font for the proceedings to begin. Family and friends gather around to take pictures and offer encouragement.

Learning a little about the Jehovah’s Witnesses W

hen I walked into the Jehovah’s Witness Assembly Hall last Friday, my first impression was amazement at this huge facility that I really knew nothing about. Like many in Salisbury who have driven down Old Concord Road, I’ve noticed the KATIE sprawling SCARVEY building, but until last week I had never been inside. Once inside, my next feeling was self-consciousness as I realized that among the hundreds of women there that day, I was the only one wearing pants. Actually, not pants — capris. Even worse. After doing a little reading later, I realized that during services, Jehovah’s Wit-

nesses typically follow a fairly strict dress code, with men wearing suits and ties and women wearing dresses or skirts. When I returned on Saturday to see the baptism, I was wearing a skirt. I don’t think there is anything wrong or disrespectful about wearing pants to church, but I am generally a believer in the “When in Rome” philosophy, at least when there’s nothing huge at stake. Although he never made me feel bad for the unfortunate capri incident, my host, Michael Pippa, gave me a little positive reinforcement on Saturday. “You look nice today,” he said. Everyone I met was unfailingly polite. Although I could understand little of the sign language presentations, I was not bored. When I wasn’t trying to guess what was being said, I found myself absorbed

in the tactile signing. Those in the audience who were blind as well as deaf needed an extra layer of translation, so volunteers were assigned to sign directly to them while their hands rested on the translator’s hands. It seems an incredibly intimate act, this tactile signing. I couldn’t help but think of how challenging it would be to live in that sort of world, where communication required such an expenditure of energy. How precious communication is, and how easily we take it for granted. The interpreters that I noticed were all women, and they were all wearing head coverings. I believe that when female Jehovah’s Witnesses take on this role in worship they are required to cover their heads. I also noticed that all the presenters I saw were male, and that all of the Bible DVD

translators were male. I asked Michael about that, and he explained that Witnesses believe that the organization and administration of the religion is the man’s responsibility, but he emphasized that both men and women are ministers. He cited some Bible verses that support the church’s practice. I’ve never been exactly convinced that Jesus would have agreed with some of Paul’s beliefs about women’s subordinate role, but I know that a lot of Christians take his pronouncements very seriously. One thing that struck me at the convention was the diversity there. I got the sense that everyone was welcome at this table, that race, ethnicity, language did not matter. When many people think of Jehovah’s Witnesses, the main things that come to mind, perhaps, are the

Watchtower tracts, the emphasis on door-to-door witnessing and the rejection of celebrating for Christmas, birthdays or other holidays. Many consider the group to be a cult, but Michael emphasized that there is a lot of misinformation out there about the Witnesses. He gave me some Watchtower literature to read so that I could learn about the organization’s stated beliefs. I learned in one pamphlet that Witnesses believe that “friendship with God is vital if one is to find happiness now, resist temptations, and survive the impending destruction of wickedness.” One tenet that is always a little hard to contemplate is the belief that only a small group of the elect — 144,000, to be exact — will ultimately go to heaven and rule with Christ. Not 143,999 and not 144,001. Since there are far more

Witnesses than this around the world, I guess they accept the fact that they’re not all going to make it. Like most people, I have had Witnesses knocking on my door and on several occasions, I have invited them in, mainly because I was curious to hear what they would have to say. I always found them to be friendly but very zealous in forwarding their beliefs. These days, I politely decline their invitation to discuss their beliefs with me, since the conversation is never really a two-way street. I have to admire their enthusiasm, though. And when you consider that remarkable assembly hall — with an atrium! — built and maintained entirely by volunteers, you have to acknowledge their hard work and dedication, not to mention organizational skills.

Post-polio syndrome nothing to brag about Dear Dr. Gott: In 1955, at the age of 2, I contracted polio. I was immediately put in isolation in a children’s hospital, where I remained for several weeks in casts and braces. My left leg was drastically crooked and DR. PETER atrophied in a short amount GOTT of time. I have since overcome most of the setbacks, but in 1985, I was diagnosed with

post-polio syndrome. It was like a recrippling and decay of all my energy. Since then, I have gotten progressively worse. My mother and sister now claim they too suffered from polio and have PPS. They were never hospitalized, never had any visible signs, and had no lingering fevers from initial exposure. They have gone for almost 50 years not claiming this. Now, as they age, they want sympathy for their “supposed” polio devastation, and I am furious. They’re claiming I’m not compassionate and think I want the “glory” all to

myself. My dad and older sister never claimed the illness, so how could anyone even want to make such an unsubstantiated claim? Is the theory possible, even without visible signs? Dear Reader: The polio virus can be transmitted through contaminated food or water, or through direct contact with a person infected with the virus. So anyone in close proximity to you at the time you contracted it could have also become infected. And large majorities of people are never aware they’ve become in-

fected, because some people develop a nonparalytic form of the disease. They might experience initial symptoms of fatigue, muscle spasms, meningitis, fever, sore throat and more that can last up to 10 days. As you are aware, PPS can develop decades after the diagnosis has been made. It can be characterized by a weakening of muscles previously affected and in muscles that were not previously affected. Some patients may develop mild symptoms; others may

Bill Cosby said, “Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.” That is true for many players at the bridge table. Many years ago, a world champion, so sure that declarer was about to take a losing finesse, played her king, not seeing that declarer had gone up with his ace instead of playing his queen. Always keep both eyes open. In this deal, you are in seven hearts. West leads the spade jack. Where would you win the first trick? Some pairs play that a twoheart response to a two-club opening shows 0-5 points without an ace or king. When responder has more points, he usually bids two diamonds. (A two-no-trump response guarantees five-plus hearts and positive values.) I do not like this style. Look what would

points and a balanced hand. And, yes, bidding seven hearts is a gamble when a king is missing. You have 13 tricks: two spades, six hearts, four diamonds and one club. But to get four diamond tricks, you must draw trumps, unblock your diamond ace-queen, then cross to the board to cash the king and jack, on which you will discard your low clubs. The only entry is in spades, so take the first trick with your ace.

A number of opportunities to improve your material position may present themselves in the year ahead. However, it will be up to you to take advantage of them without trying to bring a sidekick into the picture. Stand on your own two feet. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Be careful you aren't paying too high a price to get what you think you want from another. Consider all the ramifications to be sure your objective is worth what it will end up costing you. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Instead of adhering to some old methods or routines to do a job that doesn't always turn out well, consider using some new techniques or equipment you've heard about. You'll be glad you did. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you feel someone is trying to pull something over on you, don't hesitate to ask probing questions or check out what needs verification. Get all the facts, figures and accounting first. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Bring out into the open what is disturbing you, because your associates will recognize something wrong is occurring, and are not likely to move forward with you as the situation stands. Clear the air and you'll clear the way. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don't think you can rely on others to protect your interests or position, because they'll have their own agenda. You will have to stay on top of things and guard your own fort. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you are likely to be lucky in a number of ways, this won't necessarily include your material affairs. Fortunate happenings will occur with things of much greater value. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - It wouldn't be wise to begin a project that you know you wouldn't have enough time to complete. Wait until you have two or three days in a row to work on it. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Be extremely careful about whom you choose to discuss a confidential matter with, because the wrong person might run and disclose it to the very party from whom you're trying to screen it. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — There are some indications that your financial affairs could be in more trouble than you think, but if you stop now and find a way to take care of things, you should be able to survive the onslaught. Aries (March 21-April 19) — As long as you and your mate are in complete agreement regarding an objective, all will go well. If one has a different idea about how something should be done, things will have to be worked out. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — If you have to deal with someone with whom you've experienced some differences in the past, don't let it influence your thinking now. Keep a clear head throughout the encounter. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Maintain an insulated distance concerning your personal affairs and those of your friends. If anyone should start to poke his/her nose into the other's business, it'll be considered an intrusion.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Vincent Penn, left, a member of the Quileute tribe, joins members of other tribes in the Capitol Rotunda in Olympia, Wash., for a healing circle in 2006.

Northwest Quileute tribe revels in spotlight of ‘Twilight Saga’ At their Oceanside Resort, the tribe is opening a cabin decorated in a wolf theme, a shout out to Jacob and the Quileute’s own origin story, which begins with a transformation from wolves to people. At a Quileute store in the reservation town of La Push, handmade beanie hats with “Jacob” stitched on them sell for nearly $35. There’s also a “Jacob’s Java” espresso stand. “This is historical. This is going to be imprinted on people’s lives for generations to come,” Counsell-Geyer said. Central to the “Twilight Saga” is a love triangle among human teenager Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), vampire Edward Cullen (Robert Pattison) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner). The Quileute’s homeland — the place where they have lived and hunted for centuries — serves as the backdrop to author Stephenie Meyer’s saga, with the stunning imagery of rocks and cliffs rising along the Pacific Ocean. Four hours west of Seattle, the Quileute reservation is on the far and remote side of the

THE

rain-soaked Olympic Peninsula. The reservation’s boundaries are confined within a square mile. In the movies and books, the tribe’s folklore is meshed into the role of the Wolf Pack, a group of young Quileute men who shapeshift into wolves. Jacob and other Wolf Pack members guard the reservation from vampires. For Chris Eyre, a Cheyenne and Arapaho filmmaker, the key aspect of the Twilight series is that it shows Native Americans in a contemporary light. Eyre directed the well-received 1998 film “Smoke Signals,” which focused on a coming of age story of two teenagers living on the Coeur D’Alene Indian Reservation in Idaho. “I think as long as the werewolves aren’t wearing loincloths, it is a good step forward,” Eyre said from Los Angeles, where he is finishing an episode of the NBC show “Friday Night Lights.” “It’s so important to have Native people in contemporary roles ... that’s where I think we’re lacking.”

SEATTLE (AP) — The leader of the Quileute Nation in northwest Washington first began hearing her tribe had a role in a popular series called the “Twilight Saga” from fans clamoring to know more about the place where a vampire tale of teenage love unfolds. Some fans sent e-mails. The most dedicated among them made trips to the remote reservation that is home to the series’ heartthrob werewolf Jacob Black. “The interest in our tribe was a surprise, a good surprise,” tribal Chairwoman Anna Rose Counsell-Geyer said. “I thought to myself, people are going to actually get to know the Quileute and we are going to be recognized as a people. The real Quileute.” That was a couple of years ago. With “Eclipse,” the series’ third movie in theaters now, the 750-member Quileute Nation is reveling in the “Twilight” spotlight, attempting to capitalize on the blockbuster’s massive financial pull and welcoming new interest in the tribe’s culture.

Parents: Tips for giving kids a DIY summer camp experience at home (ARA) - Many American families may still be tightening their belts this summer, as the economy continues its slow climb out of recession. If your family has decided to save money by foregoing traditional summer camps, you can still give your kids a fun summer - by staging a do-it-yourself summer camp at home. Your DIY summer camp can combine classic camp activities and home-based fun to ensure kids stay busy and happy all season long. Whether you’re teaching them about the world by getting them involved in preparing a week’s worth of international cuisine, or drawing them into your latest kids’ playroom project, you’ll save money by keeping them at home. Here are some tips and activity ideas to help you stage a DIY summer camp:

Get organized

Imagine the level of organization and advanced planning required to run an operation that serves up safe, creative fun to hundreds of children each year. Now imagine how much easier your job as DIY summer camp counselor will be if you have a game plan of activities that are both fun and educational to carry your kids

through the summer. Start by calculating exactly how many hours each day, and how many days each month, you need to fill. Older kids may benefit from a few hours of selfguided play each day, while younger children will need more of your help to keep their days full. Next, gather a list of all the activities you want to do this summer, grab a calendar or day planner, and start planning when you will do each activity.

their own rooms. Help them choose paint, bedding and accessories or to install an easy-to-hang wallpaper mural. You can find hundreds of kid-friendly wall murals, for less than $100 at DecorPlace.com. Decorating their own rooms will teach kids important home improvement and decorating skills - and could potentially keep them occupied for days.

Pick your projects

* Encourage kids to research new cuisines and their countries of origin, then plan and present a week of dinners, with each meal hailing from a different country. Kids will learn cooking skills, interesting information about other cultures, and the basics of grocery shopping on a budget.

Kids love traditional summer camps because they occupy youngsters nonstop with fun activities and the company of other children. Parents love that kids keep busy with activities that are both fun and educational. You can give kids the same experience by finding at-home projects that mix fun and education with practicality and usefulness. One great way to keep kids active, teach them valuable skills and get something done around the house is to involve them in your list of DIY projects. Obvious chores, like mowing the lawn, likely won’t make the kids’ list of fun activities, but helping you plant an herb garden might. Or, let them take an active role in redecorating

Other life skill-building activities could include:

* Planting and nurturing a vegetable garden. Children learn horticulture and how to choose and raise healthy food items. * Doing some volunteer work. Even the youngest tot can learn to help others. Whether it’s just visiting a senior citizens’ center and playing games with the seniors, or helping serve at a food kitchen, volunteer work teaches children the importance of - and the sat-

isfaction provided by helping others. Sending kids away to summer camp might not be financially feasible for many families - at least for another year. But keeping them at home doesn’t mean they - or you - have to give up the benefits of a camplike experience. With a little creativity and plenty of planning, you can recreate the best benefits of summer camp in your very own home. Courtesy of ARAcontent
