PARADE CAPS FAITH FOURTH
Moped stop nets drug charges 1 rider arrested, police still searching for another Salisbury Police Department officers found 60 grams of marijuana and more than $500 in the possession of a man who was stopped for recklessly riding a moped early Saturday. Geoffrey Kevin Robeson, Jr., 24, of 1780 Old Union Church Road Apt. A, has been charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and resist, obstruct and delay. The street value of the marijuana is estimated at ROBESON $200. Salisbury Police Officer R. Gaither executed a traffic stop after observing two men riding erratically near the intersection of Monroe and Partee streets at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Robeson stopped immediately, but left his scooter in an attempt to flee on foot. Officer J.R. Cable, who assisted Gaither at the scene, chased Robeson down and took him into custody. The second moped rider led Gaither on a slow-speed pursuit through numerous streets in the western section of the city. The man eventually jumped off the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area, where officers attempted to track him with a canine. Police are still searching for the second rider and are continuing to investigate the man’s identity. Salisbury Police say the moped operated by the second man was reported stolen on June 25.

An estimated 30,000 people were on hand to view the 2010 annual Faith Fourth parade.
Celebrating traditions along with new beginnings BY HUGH FISHER
hfisher@salisburypost.com
FAITH — The Faith Fourth of July parade rolled down Main Street on Monday, capping a long Independence Day weekend with a beloved tradition. The parade itself may have changed in some ways. This year, instead of a military flyover, a small private plane dropped marshmallows on the crowd. Instead of a bevy of fire engines at the front, the trucks appeared throughout the group. But what stayed the same is the freedom that July Fourth represents, and that the parade draws people to celebrate. “With the economic situation and everything that’s going on, it’s nice to see everybody having fun and celebrating the birthday of our country,” Cornerstone Church lead
pastor Bill Godair said. He and members of his congregation rode a float in the parade, which Godair represented not only freedom but the diversity of Rowan County and his congregation. One member of Cornerstone, Mitzie Ketner, dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Asked what she hoped people would take away from the parade, she said right away: “Freedom isn’t free.” But, she said, riding in the parade wasn’t about her. “It’s about giving God and country the glory,” Ketner said. Love of country and family drew Jamie McDonald of Statesville to bring her family all the way to Faith for the parade. They arrived late, and had to set up near the end of the route. The good news? Her nieces and nephews, among other
Lacey Waggoner waves from the sunroof of a car. kids, got the candy left over from the floats that had some to spare. “It’s a nice parade, and a nice town,” McDonald said. The usual cadre of entries — churches, local businesses, marching bands — all took
part. For Stephen Condrey, who runs Master Condrey’s Martial Arts, bringing a group of students to demonstrate techniques in the parade is more than a business move. “It’s a chance to inspire
others,” Condrey said. His students’ roundhouse kicks and punches could get young and old interested in improving and defending themselves.

FAITH — “I think we could save the Fox TV network a lot of money,” Randall Barger told the crowd from the stage Monday night. “They don’t have to go all over the country looking for contestants. They can just come here!” The crowd cheered Barger just like they’d clapped, whistled and hollered for the finalists in the 2010 Faith Idol singing competition. The competition began Thursday night on the stage in Faith Legion Park with 36 amateur singers. Monday night, in front of a crowd of hundreds that overflowed the tent onto the yard beyond, the 11 kids and adults who’d made it to the last stage sang their hearts out for the judges. The winner in the 12-andunder category was Nicole

Santa Lucia, one of three competitors in that group alongside Faith Dentor and Nicole’s sister, Natalie. Just as Nicole got ready to go into the last chorus of the Martina McBride hit “Independence Day,” the music she was singing along to cut out. There was near-silence in the tent for several seconds. The sound didn’t come back on. Then Nicole started singing again, a capella, in perfect time and on key. The crowd went wild. “There were a lot of things going through my mind,” Nicole said after her performance. But she said she remembered her dad’s advice: “If something ever goes wrong on stage, just keep going.” Nicole and Natalie are 12year-old identical twins.

UNC-TV agrees to release info from unaired show on Alcoa RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s public television network has turned over to state lawmakers material from its yet-to-be-aired documentary on Alcoa Inc. WRAL-TV reports UNCTV lawyers decided not to fight a subpoena from a Senate judiciary committee because it is a public agency and may not fall under North Carolina’s 1999 press shield law protecting reporters from revealing information that hasn’t been printed or broadcast. State Sen. Fletcher Hartsell says lawmakers need the information quickly so they can decide what to do about Alcoa’s hydroelectric dams before the Legislature adjourns. Alcoa is trying to renew a 1958 federal license to operate the dams, which powered an aluminum plant. The plant is closed, but Alcoa receives millions of dollars selling the electricity.

Evans said the boat’s operators reported that they collided with rocks at Devil’s Back Ledge while traveling at about 18 knots. The boat was listing heavily toward its bow Saturday afternoon and its back end had lifted out of the water, he said. “It’s a pretty serious accident,” Evans said. “Once it goes down, it would be a total loss, I believe. ... They’re trying to save it.” Passengers described a loud noise and a sudden jolt that snapped the legs on plastic deck chairs and sent people sprawling. “We were physically thrown forward,” Maria Patane of Yonkers, N.Y., told The Boston Globe. “Kids were crying, people screaming. For a few seconds I thought we were going down.” Sarah Bennett, a tourist from North Carolina, told the Boston Herald that passengers were instructed to grab life jackets and move to the top deck.

Correction The following statement from the story “EDC: Funds don’t keep pace with workloads,” in Sunday’s Post is incorrect: “But, total funding for economic development, when you combine all entities, is down $100,000. The tax base has grown, but our actual funding has decreased since last year.” Although the tax base of the municipalities within Rowan County and the county itself have grown, funding for the EDC in FY 2009-10 was reduced $11,836. This year, the EDC will generate more revenue — $37,297 — for the first time since FY 2004-05 with the Rowan County Commissioners agreeing to significant additional funding. China Grove and Landis also have increased their contributions and Kannapolis rejoined. • The information box “Where EDC funding comes from” that accompanied the story incorrectly listed Salisbury’s current funding. The correct figure is $69,498.

BOSTON (AP) — A tour boat headed on a whale watch with 174 people on board was evacuated Saturday after it ran aground on a rocky ledge in Boston Harbor and began taking on water. No one was seriously hurt in the accident, which was reported at about 10 a.m. off Deer Island. The Coast Guard said two people suffered back and knee injuries. Authorities said a combination of Coast Guard vessels, local emergency vessels and nearby fishing boats helped evacuate the 87-foot vessel Massachusetts, and by early afternoon, everyone was safely off the boat. Passengers were taken to a pier in Hull, about 3 miles from the disabled boat, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Connie Terrell. Meanwhile, workers on board the Massachusetts tried to pump out the sinking vessel, while divers attempted to patch the gash in the hull, said Winthrop Deputy Harbormaster Chuck Evans, who was at the scene.

Burnham, 20, gave his fellow singer Alec said he works full time but loves to sing songs that make people want to dance. “If it gets my nieces and nephews jumping in the living room, it’s the song for me,” Burnham said.

Their parents, Joel and Jo Ann, Santa Lucia of Denton, say the girls have been singing since they turned 3. “They support each other 100 percent,” Jo Ann said. Alec Thomas of Salisbury was the winner in the 13-to-18 age group. He performed Bon Jovi’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” Thomas, 14, said he chose the song because it appeals to everyone. “It’s both country and rock,” he said, and felt the song itself was inspiring. Alex Yost won in the 19and-over group with his performance of the inspirational song “You Raise Me Up.” “It’s great. I’m speechless,” Yost said after his win. Each of the three winners received a check for $500. Yost said his winnings will help pay for college. “I’ll need it,” he said. And the Santa Lucia family said the prize money will help them plan a trip to New York to visit their relatives. But, the girls were quick to add, there’s also going to be a trip to Carowinds to celebrate their win. During the break between the end of the performances and the announcement of the winners, the audience debated who they’d like to see win. “I’m pulling for Alex,” Andrea Baker, 17, said before the judges’ decisions

Flying high at 95
O
Kannapolis woman takes to the skies for a parasailing adventure BY SUSAN SHINN
For The Salisbury Post
Lib Lambert had wanted to go parasailing for a long time. “I’d say something about it to my family and they ignored it,” Lib says. After her 95th birthday in May, they started making plans. On June 19, Lib went parasailing at Marlin Quay Marina in Garden City, S.C., just south of Myrtle Beach. Some 40 family members joined her for the occasion. “She promised those guys she’d be back in five years,” says daughter Carolyn O’Kelley of China Grove. Lib, who retired from Fieldcrest Cannon, has another daughter, Betty Williams of Kannapolis, her next-door neighbor. Her son is the late Sonny Lambert. She has nine grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and six great-greatgrandchildren. Granddaughter Susan Kimball got Lib a hot pink T-shirt from the marina, and painted on it “Flying High at 95.”
She still is. It’s exciting just to watch the DVD of pictures and videos prepared by granddaughter Gina Wirz’s husband John. There’s Lib, being helped aboard the boat by her grandsons. There she is, putting on a harness. There she is, sitting beside grandson David Lambert on the rear platform. And there they are, taking off into the air! Lib’s feet never touched the water, so she didn’t even wear a swimsuit. “I had pedal pushers on,” she says modestly. “She was so cute,” Carolyn says. “She loved it. She had a ball.” Lib had only one concern. She was worried she couldn’t get her legs straightened out for the takeoff and landing. But she did. Otherwise, she says, “I wasn’t a bit nervous. I had my grandsons around me and I felt they were going to protect me.”

Smart Start Rowan places a focus on obesity in early childhood Smart Start Rowan
Fewer Rowan children, ages 2 to 4, are overweight or obese than in 2002. That’s the good news. The bad news is that more than 26 percent still are either overweight or obese, according to the N.C. Nutrition and Physical Activity Surveillance System (NC-NPASS). NCNPASS includes data on children in WIC, a supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children, as well as child health clinics and some school based health centers. In 2002, almost 34 percent of Rowan children 2 to 4 years old were overweight or obese, a figure that dropped to 27 percent in 2007. It’s an improvement, but we have a long way to go before our county’s childhood weight concerns are solved. Obesity is a serious health concern not just for Rowan children, but for all North Carolina children. The state rate of overweight and obese 2 to 4-year-olds was 31.7 percent in 2008, an increase from 27.7 percent in 2002. North Carolina percentages are the fifth highest in the nation in childhood obesity Rowan Countians saw that childhood obesity was going to be a problem in 1999, according to Amy Smith, county health education specialist

and wellness coordinator. “But we didn’t know it was going to be this big an issue,” she said. That year, a group of agencies created the Rowan Partnership for Community Health to address health issues in the county. The collaboration includes the health department, YMCA, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Cooperative Extension, Rowan Regional Medical Center, Parks and Recreation and more. “We’re trying to reach kids as young as we can to adopt a healthier lifestyle,” Smith said. “A lot of families are not aware that being obese might impact a child’s lifespan.” The Journal of the American Medical Association says that obese children are almost six times more likely than children with healthy weights to have an impaired quality of life — equal to that of children undergoing treatment for cancer. Leonard Wood, director of the Rowan County Health Department, sees dire ramifications for individuals if obesity is not reduced. “If we continue to consume more calories than we burn, we are faced with higher health care costs, premature deaths, a lifetime of chronic diseases, poor health, poor quality of life and dependency on prescription drugs,” said Wood. “Today’s generation of children
and adolescents may experience disability and death at an age earlier than our parents and grandparents, reversing a longstanding pattern of general improvement in health, productivity and quality of life.” Weight issues have been proven to follow children from pre-school into adulthood. One national study found that approximately 80 percent of children who were overweight at ages 10 to 15 were obese adults at age 25; another study found that 25 percent of obese adults were overweight as children. The latter study also found that if overweight begins before age 8, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. Donna Ryan, president of the Obesity Society, a group of weight-management researchers and professionals, says it’s crucial to address the problem early. “If you can get kids into healthier eating habits when they are younger, their weight may self-correct.” But once they become obese adults, it’s difficult to reverse, she says. “Pediatricians are now treating a lot of conditions they didn’t use to treat because those conditions were prevalent only in older people,” Smith adds. “They’re now having to step back and treat younger children for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.”
Nutritionists say the weight issue is two-fold — too many calories and too little exercise. For a person to maintain a healthy weight, the calories consumed from food and beverages must be balanced against the calories used through physical activity and, for children, normal growth. The convenience of fast food has added to our national diet disaster. Americans are always in a hurry, and driving through for dinner is a handiness we’ve become accustomed it. But the low cost of convenience food may be an even bigger problem for low-income families. Low-income families often consume lower-cost foods because they have higher levels of calories per dollar. Families are sacrificing food quality for food quantity to stretch limited resources. It may be cheap to purchase fast food, but it’s even cheaper to supersize fast food meals. “For just 10 cents more, we can biggie-size a drink. Look at the calories — they’re empty calories,” Smith said. “People used to think that diet drinks were the answer, but studies now question whether artificial sweeteners make you crave sweets. In schools, we have to get kids to stay with milk and water with some natural fruit juices, not soft drinks.”

ne recent Saturday, a friend and I needed to find a place to try out her new bike. Since the temperatures were projected to be in the mid to upper 90s here, it seemed like a great time to go to the mountains. As far as I know, there are few mountain locations to ride that are flat, scenic and have plenty to keep DAVID you busy when FREEZE off the bike. A place that I had ridden before seemed perfect for an adventure. We took Interstate 77 north to Highway 421 and headed toward Boone. A few miles short of Boone, Highway 221 turns off heading north along the New River Basin. The New River is one of the oldest rivers on earth, and a portion of it flows from Todd to Fleetwood. It is a perfect 10-mile distance, all nearly flat on a narrow paved road that replaced a portion of the Virginia Carolina Railroad Line. It is called the Railroad Grade Road. We started near Fleetwood, which is a sleepy little town with not much more than a church, a post office, several homes and close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Railroad Grade Road has quite a bit to see besides the river, which is beautiful and tranquil in itself. The remains of old bridges, beautiful resort homes, old homeplaces beautifully restored and acre upon acre of Christmas trees provide plenty of scenery. The temperatures had climbed to the upper 70s by late morning as we rode toward Todd, is an old railroad town, still full of history and plenty to do. Todd was originally settled in the late 1700s and had a boom in the early 1900s as a lumber mill town. Todd was bigger than Boone at one time. I had a wonderful grilled portobello mushroom sandwich and a brownie from the grill inside the Todd General Store, one of the oldest continually operating general stores in North Carolina. Dining on the back porch while looking up a mountain was fun too. There was a bakery just a short distance away, and to my satisfaction there were a couple more brownies that needed to be sampled. Our visit was highlighted by a bluegrass concert in the town park early that afternoon. All the while tubes and kayaks were being launched into the river near the bridge on One Big Hill Road. Todd is a great place to people watch, and lots of bicycle riders were entering and leaving while we enjoyed the town. One curious oddity is that nearly every building had stamped decorative tin as siding. Soon it was time to ride back to the car. We rode along the narrow road, which is sometimes not really wide enough for cars meeting each other. Bikes have priority, and everyone seemed to be casually enjoying their rides. Fly fishing was another attraction for the area. In fact, an occasional trout was easy to spot in the clear river water. Fun for me was watching all the hay being baled in narrow strips on both sides of the river. The same tractor seemed to be working his way upriver as he baled several miles of round bales on a beautiful afternoon. Upon arriving back at the car, we sat by the river and found it very easy to relax. Mid 80s were easy to take after the searing heat of Rowan County for the past few weeks. A good breeze blew all day. The Railroad Grade Road is a perfect place for bike riders of all abilities. Experienced riders can do time trials in a picturesque setting. Others can just enjoy the casual ride, along with all there is to do in a beautiful river valley. Make sure you sample the brownies in Todd and let me know what you think. • • • David Freeze lives in Rowan County.

BRIEFS City gives workers option of a 4-day work week WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Officials in one North Carolina city are offering to let their employees work four days a week as long as it doesn’t affect city services. The Winston-Salem Journal reports that WinstonSalem officials made the offer to city employees after passing a budget that offers no raises for the second straight year. The employees would work 10-hour days. Department heads and City Manager Lee Garrity will have to approve the request to work four days, and city services will have to stay the same. Workers in WinstonSalem’s streets division have already agreed to the fourday schedule.
Duke scientists discover more on mercury and fish RALEIGH (AP) — Scientists at Duke University have figured out why mercury poses a bigger hazard in seafood caught in the ocean than fish caught in fresh water. The researchers told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the chloride in ocean salt sticks to the more dangerous form of mercury, known as methyl mercury, in a way that makes it harder for sunlight to break down the metal. The scientists found it took at least 10 times longer to break down the mercury in salt water than in fresh water.
FLYING FROM 4A A few family members went along in the boat, while others watched from shore. Eleven family members rode alongside in a boat piloted by Ray McKenney, owner of McKenney Chevrolet and Cadillac in Gastonia. He heard about Lib’s feat and offered his boat. Carolyn, who gets seasick, watched from shore. “People asked me why I would let her do it, but at 95, she can do anything she wants to,” she says. “It was an exciting experience and she was happy.” Lib only has one small disappointment about the experience. “They said to look down and find fish,” she says. “There wasn’t any fish down there.” Still, Lib had quite a view. “I could see my family standing on the platform and
OBESITY FROM 4A Members of the N.C. House of Representatives agree. House Bill 1726 would require child care programs to provide reduced fat milk (skim or 1 percent), no more than four to six ounces of juice per day and no sugarsweetened beverages. A Senate bill, if passed, would require all children receiving Medicaid or participating in the Health Choice for Children Program to undergo BMI screening. The legislation comes from recommendations from the General Assembly’s Task Force on Childhood Obesity. Smith works with the schools to fight obesity by training teachers to integrate nutrition and physical activity into the required standard course of study. “We’re not asking teachers to find extra time, we’re showing them how to use nutrition and science in their current lesson plans. We’ve made an impact there. We can see that teachers are buying into the idea,” she explained. Millbridge Elementary School is a success story in the fight against obesity. Through a collaborative effort that also includes N.C. State University, the school has created a garden as an outside classroom. “It’s the first time for this in our county. Students have learned about fruits and vegetables by taking responsibility for the garden,” Smith said. “They’re learning why fruits and vegetables are so important. They’re growing an orchard and currently

KANNAPOLIS — Ralph Theodore Fish, age 78, a resident of Britthaven of Charlotte and formerly of Kannapolis, died Sunday, July 4, 2010, at the facility. Born March 5, 1932, in the Paw Creek Community of Mecklenburg County, he was the son of the late William Robert Fish and Blanche Deal Fish. A veteran of the United States Air Force, he was retired from Cannon Mills. He was a member of First Reformed Church of Landis. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Sue Chapman; and three brothers, Buford Fish, Tom Fish and Bobby Fish. Survivors include his wife, Joyce Freeman Fish; a daughter, Carolyn Fish of Cornelius; son, Randy Fish of Salisbury; one sister, Nancy Hunter of Kannapolis; and two grandchildren, Randy Fish, Jr. and Jessica Fish. Service: A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Carolina Memorial Park. The Rev. David Franks will officiate.

I waved at ‘em,” she says. The captain also offered to “dip” her in the air, to which she said, “No, thank you.” Those 12 minutes she spent in the air were just like flying, says Lib, who’s never flown in an airplane. When she landed, she says, “I felt real good. I did pretty good. My family was excited. The boat captain even said I could go again when I was 100.” She laughs. “If I live to be 100 and feel like I do now, I will.” Parasailing aside, Lib admits she’s not much of a daredevil. “This is pretty near it,” she says.

have peaches developing.” And taking it a step further, the school has created a compost bin where cafeteria workers dump appropriate refuse for compost. While overeating and eating the wrong foods contribute to weight gain, lack of activity is another significant factor. As a society, Americans have become sedentary, with children watching more television and playing electronic games as opposed to playing outside like earlier generations. The Partnership for Community Health has written grants for different schools for “anything that involves moving,” Smith said, including one grant for sidewalks. Parents also are included in the education process with newsletters and materials that go home with the student. “We’re encouraging movement for the whole family.” Smith hopes Michelle Obama’s focus on childhood obesity will help turn around our nation’s health issues. “It always helps when someone in the limelight focuses efforts.” “Health insurance companies and public insurers must require recipients to adopt a healthier lifestyle or take on a greater financial responsibility for their health care costs,” Wood said. “Our health care system does not offer incentives to stop our bad habits: overeating, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse and other detrimental personal choices that impact our health. “Poor diet and physical inactivity will soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.”

Cops: Person of interest sought in track death HARRELLS (AP) — Investigators say they have someone they want to talk to about the shooting death of another man at a rural North Carolina racetrack. Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton told multiple media outlets he was not ready to release the name of the person of interest. Authorities say 29-yearold Timothy McKoy of Garland was gunned down after an argument Sunday in the parking lot of Harrells Raceway. Thornton says the drag races scheduled for Sunday night were canceled after the shooting. The sheriff says his deputies don’t answer a lot of calls at the track, but he asked the owner Monday to beef up security. The raceway is privately owned and isn’t sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association or regulated by the state.
Bodybuilding champ charged with killing husband MOYOCK (AP) — Authorities say a North Carolina man having marital problems was killed by his bodybuilding wife in their Currituck County home. Deputies told The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., that 38-year-old Lateisha Jandreau was arrested Saturday by officers with a search warrant after they found her 51-year-old husband’s body hidden in the couple’s garage. Mike Jandreau says his brother Paul told him he was having problems with his wife, but wasn’t scared. The two had been married for about eight years after meeting in a kickboxing class and Lateisha Jandreau won a state bodybuilding championship last month. Jandreau is charged with first-degree murder and is being held at the Currituck County jail without bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney.
dom, drive-by shooting. They unloaded some high-powered stuff into my house,” Smith told The News & Record of Greensboro. Rockingham County deputies said at least two shooters fired about 30 rounds into Smith’s home, knocking out windows, damaging the siding and scattering debris around the rental house on U.S. 220 Business. Smith said it was more like 50 or 60 bullets.
“It’s amazing that no one was shot,” sheriff’s spokesman Dean Venable said “The house was riddled.” Smith thinks the shooters were angry with his older son and wanted to send him a message. Leon Michael Smith faces an assault charge for a stabbing about 100 miles away in Stokes County more than a week ago and authorities continue to look for him. “We had been told by a

DURHAM (AP) — Ask almost anyone at the Bahama Volunteer Fire Department, and they’ll tell you the same thing: Helping others is what keeps them motivated. For 50 years, Bahama firefighters have battled an enemy that is never totally defeated, but is knocked down time and again by volunteers who risk their lives to keep the northern Durham community safe. “I like helping people,” Bahama Fire Chief Len Needham said. Needham, 47, has served for 30 years at Bahama and as chief since 1997. “When I got in, I thought I’d do it for a little while, and I’ve just enjoyed it throughout the years and so I continue to do it,” he said. The department was formed June 15, 1960, and was galvanized later that summer when part of Mangum School in northern Durham burned. “That really just motivated people to get going,” Needham said. Today’s department has 42 volunteers, 20 auxiliary members and several paid, part-time firefighters. One paid firefighter is always at the station to guarantee that it’s staffed 24 hours a day. The department covers about 40 square miles that include 6,000 residents. It gets most of its $670,000 annual budget from fire district taxes. Needham, who grew up in Bahama, said he’s fought hundreds of fires in his 30 years, including homes owned by close friends. The department moved to a new station on 1814 Bahama Road about four years ago, about one-quarter mile from the original station, which is being used for storage and will eventually be sold. The department has 11 vehicles, including the chief’s car, fire pumpers, tankers and an ambulance, which Bahama keeps at the station and operates through the Durham County Emergency Medical Services. EMS provides the paramedics and Bahama provides the ambulance and driver. The addition of an ambu-
How To Get The Perfect Shoe Fit
lance has undoubtedly saved lives, Needham said, because it’s allowed paramedics to get to the scene of a medical emergency in about seven minutes, compared to the 20 it would take if the ambulance had to come from EMS at Durham Regional Hospital. The ambulance, equipment upgrades and the addition of paid firefighters are the main changes to the department since 1960, he said. The department gets most of its budget from tax revenues now, but in the first years it had to depend almost solely on donations. But Needham said one thing hasn’t changed: Having good people willing to serve. Volunteer firefighters must have more than 100 hours of training initially, and the training continues throughout their career. “We’ve got a great department and great members,” he said. “You can have the nicest station in the world, but it’s nothing without the people.” Patrick Lawson, 20, one of the paid firefighters who work 12-hour shifts at Bahama, has been with the department since he was 17, beginning as an unpaid volunteer. Part of Lawson’s training is in CPR, and he said he’s helped save at least one person’s life with that training. It’s times like those, he said, when he knows he chose the right career.
some places than plain water. Huffman has more than 700 vintage machines in a museum at his Antiquities Vending Co. in the Caldwell County town of Granite Falls, just outside Hickory. The collection is both a roadside attraction and a working archive of parts and operating systems for nearly every make and model of soda vending machine produced from 1925 to the late 1970s. Many are thought to be the only complete examples of their kind. Huffman’s main source of income is repairing and restoring vintage machines in a small shop adjacent to the former cotton mill building that houses the museum and a banquet hall he rents for special events. “I can pretty much put together anything anybody’s got,” said Huffman, who loves a mechanical challenge. When he gets a Vendolator that won’t vend or a Tyler Champion that won’t chill, he can unlock the museum, open the door on his complete version of the identical device and figure out what’s wrong.

Then he turned back to his wife, saying he counted about 25 bullet holes in her chair. “I told my wife she must have nine lives,” Smith said. “She has a guardian angel.” The family spent the night in another home. Smith figures the shooting did about $10,000 in damage. “My landlord probably ain’t going to like it,” Smith said. “The house was shot all to pieces.”

Smith was sleeping with his 7-year-old granddaughter in a back bedroom and his wife was asleep in the living room when the shooting started. Bullets ripped into her chair, and Smith said his wife was so scared she couldn’t move. He left his granddaughter sleeping in the bed and tried to get a look at the people shooting.

WILMINGTON (AP) — Authorities say an autopsy will be needed to determine what killed a woman found dead in a North Carolina river. Wilmington police told The StarNews of Wilmington that officers found the woman’s body in the Cape Fear River on Sunday afternoon. Investigators say there are no signs of injury or foul play on the body of the woman, whose identity won’t be released until her family is notified. An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.
GREENSBORO (AP) — A North Carolina man said gunmen fired dozens of bullets into his Rockingham County house because they were angry at his older son over a recent stabbing incident. Michael Stephen Smith said he first thought people were shooting fireworks outside his home near Mayodan around 3 a.m. Sunday. Then he realized the danger. “They were aiming to kill somebody.

PARADE FROM 1A
members gathered to enjoy the parade, but also to remember one of their own. Howard and Ethel Horton always sat there to watch the parade, nephew Kelly Rinehart said. The family talked of how they’d sit there in white rocking chairs, with ham biscuits and other refreshments ready for the parade. Howard passed away Friday, and Kelly said it wasn’t the same without him there. He said Ethel was spending the day with other family members. Still, despite the loss, Rinehart said he was glad to be back home. “There’s a generosity here you don’t see everywhere else,” he said. Friends, meanwhile, gathered under the maple tree in the Hortons’ front yard, watching the parade go by, continuing their tradition. Beth Pierce, center, and her mother Lynn Robbins, right dressed in white, dance to the music. Not far away, during the parade, a new story began. A man chose the parade as the day to propose to the woman he loved. He rode through the parade Family owned and operated in a car with a sign asking, in Salisbury “Will you marry me?” since 1939. Though spectators weren’t sure of his name, hundreds saw him drive up and propose. She got in the car, and they drove off together. Another Independence Day, another parade in Faith ... and, by all accounts, a new family that’ll be watching the celebration in the years to come.

For others, such as the groups of Shriners who take part every year, the Faith Fourth parade is about entertaining and helping those in need. Sonny Miller, president of the Rowan Shrine Club and member of the Oasis Temple in Charlotte, said he’s been in the parade eight years running. The men who march with bagpipes, drive go-karts and play in the Oasis steel drum band are bringing smiles to faces. Miller said he hopes they’re also reminding parade-goers about the aid Shriners give to injured children. “The ones you see who know what we do, who say thank you — that’s worth a tremendous amount to me,” Miller said. But there’s something special about being in the parade that one young person noticed, just as Ketner did, as he made his way down Main Street. Jonathan Shuping marched in the parade with Jesse C. Carson High School’s marching band. Shuping, who plays the trumpet, said it was a touching experience. “It’s wonderful to see everyone in the community coming together to celebrate,” he said. The people in the audience clapped and cheered the veterans who passed, waved and clapped again as patriotic motorcyclists passed by with flags on their bikes. And they celebrated the end of Independence Day weekend with gatherings of their own. On the steps of the Horton home on Main Street, family

FUNDS HAVE STRINGS ATTACHED
Henderson’s second life T
he faculty and staff of Henderson Independent School may wonder if they really won anything when the federal government awarded the Rowan-Salisbury School System $2.2 million over three years for Henderson. The strings attached to this grant look more like hangman’s nooses. But Henderson students’ great needs call for drastic measures. Under this program, the principal must be replaced, as must half the school’s faculty members. It sounds as though Henderson will be rebuilt from scratch. These are the types of changes experts believe troubled schools need in order to improve student achievement and raise the graduation rate. Henderson is considered the Rowan-Salisbury School System’s “alternative school,” designed for students who have run into problems in the traditional school setting. It had five graduates this year from a student body of less than 100. Though Henderson was among the 26 Rowan-Salisbury schools that met expected growth or high growth under the state’s ABC program in 2008-2009, achievement levels were low. Only 27.7 percent of the students who took English 1 scored at or above grade level; in Algebra 1, the percentage was 6.5 percent. So Henderson faces tremendous challenges. The temptation is to hold Henderson to a different, lower standard and let it go. But the state and federal accountability systems don’t let anything go. The school system had to get creative to win the grant money, and that may be to the Henderson students’ benefit. The school will offer child care, mental health services, increased use of technology and a greater range of class times to meet work schedules, including early morning and evening classes. And the school will get some basic programs it has missed out on so far, such as physical education and a school media center. Alternative schools need to offer just what their name says — alternative methods to help students achieve. This grant will bring new focus and energy to Henderson’s efforts. The development of this new Henderson Independent High School could be an education in itself.
There’s more than one way to recycle an old computer Last week the General Assembly approved a bill to include computers in North Carolinians’ curbside recycling pickup. Details TBA. This is great in concept; landfills fill up fast enough without old electronics. But don’t put your outdated computer on the curb yet. The city will have to work out a plan to deal with the law. Manufacturers are supposed to help carry the burden. Here’s a better idea that you can use immediately. Since 2005, the nonprofit Students in Training has been teaching youngsters how to fix computers — using old machines donated by local businesses and individuals. Students in Training held a summer camp recently, thanks to the Woodson Foundation, and the group has a new location at 415 S. Salisbury Ave., Spencer. For more information, go to www.sitorg.org. That outdated computer gathering dust in your den could be helping to educate a student.
The Southern memory Byrd came to regret segregationist gestures
T
he South, my birthplace and the birthplace of the late Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, always was and still is the most “enigmatic” region of the United States. Southerners are a people of extremes and contradictions. Perhaps nothing epitomizes the South’s perplexing character more than BILL “The MAXWELL politics. basic ingredients of Southern politics have always been emotions and attitudes about race,” wrote the late Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Sr. in his book, “Let the Glory Out: My South and Its Politics.” Gore knew what he was talking about, having represented the Volunteer State in the U.S. House and the Senate from 1938 to 1971. Many scholars and opinion writers argue that the significance of race is fading in Southern politics. Perhaps. I think the late author Alex Haley had it right: “The Southern memory is of generations of life, of the good and the bad, the humor and the suffering from the past. The Southerner does not sentimentalize but only remembers.” Few Southern politicians understood the dubious utility of that memory and the politics of race better than Byrd, who died on June 28 at age 92. He competed for regional and national attention with many infamous peers: Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus, Alabama Gov. “Big Jim” Folsom, North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms, Alabama Gov. George Wallace, Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox, South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond and Georgia Sen. Eugene Talmadge. Like his segregationist peers, Byrd had an essential gift: He was a demagogue in every sense of the term, at least during the early years of
his career. “The demagogues,” writes Alan Leveritt, publisher of the Arkansas Times, “have always understood that Southerners love the grand gesture.” Byrd, the longest serving member of Congress in American history, was master of the grand gesture, especially the racial gesture. In 1942, at age 24, he joined the Ku Klux Klan and quickly rose to the position of “Exalted Cyclops.” He vowed to fellow bigots that he would “never fight in the
It was Byrd who proposed $10 million to underwrite a Martin Luther King National Memorial in the nation’s capital. armed forces with a Negro by my side. ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” As talk of equal rights for blacks emerged, with Northern Democrats going along, Southern whites sensed that the Old Confederacy was under assault. Byrd joined the Dixiecrat Party, a splinter group of diehard segregationists who left the Democratic Party in 1948. They opposed racial integration and fought to keep Jim Crow laws. Their slogan, which Byrd proudly proclaimed at meetings, was “Segregation Forever!” Byrd’s grandest gesture came in 1964, when he took to the Senate floor and delivered a 14hour, round-the-clock speech opposing the Civil Rights Act. The legislation passed, as did
LETTERS McCrystal had access to president I am 88 years old and a veteran of World War II. I have experienced it all as an enlisted man and as an officer in war and peace. President Obama handled General McCrystal’s situation in the only way possible. The general had complete access to Obama at any time to express his doubts or disagreement with the way the war was being executed — in confidence. To criticize a superior officer in public for all the troops to see could insubordination, riots and even rebellion among the ranks. The words “military discipline” are not to be ignored. An effective force must be unified in purpose and dedication at all times to arrive at a successful conclusion of any military operation. To retire as a four-star general, that person must have served in that capacity for a period of four years. The president recognized and reward-

other such legislation later on. In another grand gesture, Byrd opposed the nomination of Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. He teamed up with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to try to derail the confirmation by trying to prove that Marshall, the first black to be nominated to the court, had ties to the Communist Party. Then came the 1970s, when Byrd began to enjoy leadership positions in the Senate. He started to change, repeatedly apologizing for his racist past, calling his ties to the Klan and other such misdeeds “the biggest mistake of my life.” From that point on, he supported all civil rights legislation and antipoverty efforts. It was Byrd who proposed $10 million to underwrite a Martin Luther King National Memorial in the nation’s capital. Although he never lost his conservative roots, Byrd sided with Senate liberals on most bills and issues. What motivated him? This is what he told The Washington Post: “A leadership role is different, and one does represent a broader constituency.” He had come to see himself as a voice for ordinary citizens, supporting vocational schools, community colleges and adult education. In recent years, the NAACP gave Byrd a 100 percent rating on issues important to blacks and other ethnic minorities. This former Klansman was an early supporter of Barack Obama for president. As his health steadily declined, Byrd had a final grand gesture up his sleeve: Frail and confined to a wheelchair, he surprised many colleagues by being on call to vote for Obama’s health care reform legislation. Byrd, the one-time segregationist, changed for the better. And like his beloved South, he always will be an enigma. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

Lost and found There are still honest people in the surrounding area. While visiting Faith on Saturday night to celebrate the Fourth as I always do, I got my barbecue and preceded to the
picnic area. While I was eating, somehow my wallet slipped from my back pocket. Around 30 minutes later, the announcer at the band stand announced that my drivers license had been found. A lady by the first name of Lena had found my wallet and turned it in, insisting that I contact her to let her know I had received my wallet with everything intact. Not one thing had been tampered with. Thanks, Lena, for being an honest person willing to do what is right. You would not take a reward from me, but you will surely be rewarded at some point. — Bradley Eagle Salisbury
resident Barack Obama, who promised to take up comprehensive immigration reform early in his first year in office, finally got around to addressing that evermore-elusive goal just before the Independence Day weekend. The president spoke in DALE generalities, MCFEATTERS saying mass deportations and blanket amnesty were unworkable. The broad outlines of his solutions are: • Secure borders, by now an obligatory pledge in the immigration debate. • A pathway to citizenship for those of the 11 million people here illegally who have broken no laws, paid their taxes, learned English and are willing to pay a penalty. • Toughened enforcement against employers who hire and exploit illegal immigrants. These general principles are almost identical to President George W. Bush’s ill-fated immigration reform, and in a rare concession that his predecessor might have at last done something right, Obama praised Bush for his “courageous leadership” on the issue. The president, however, offered no specifics, no timetable — none of the deadlines he likes to set for legislation, and no indication of how he would engineer the political coalition necessary to get immigration reform passed. In that respect, Obama is worse off than he was last year. One by one and for various reasons, his potential Republican allies — Sens. Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Richard Lugar — have dropped off the issue, at least for this year. Even if the president could enlist all 11 of the GOP senators who originally endorsed immigration reform, the White House and the Congress have their hands full with more pressing issues - the faltering economic recovery, the BP oil spill, a change of command in Afghanistan, the pending drawdown in Iraq, finishing up financial regulatory overhaul and trying to salvage something out of energy legislation. And immigration reform is not something a lawmaker who doesn’t have to is going to tackle in this climate. Illegal immigration, as Obama pointed out, is all too prone to “demagoguery,” an issue that’s been used “to divide and inflame — and to demonize people.” It has become perhaps as toxic an issue as there is in American politics. The default position for politicians has become: Secure our borders first, without any consideration of whether that is even feasible short of replicating the Iron Curtain on our borders. It’s a fair question as to why the president chose to speak out on immigration when he did. A good guess would be both to reassure pro-reform groups and especially Hispanic voters that he hasn’t forgotten them and to frame the issue advantageously for the fall campaigns. Illegal immigration, both the issue and the people sneaking across the border, will be with us for some time. Comprehensive immigration reform is dead for this year and not in great shape for next year either.

Texas official says first tar balls wash up on state beaches
KEREM SHALOM CROSSING, Israel (AP) — Israel is easing its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza to allow in virtually all consumer goods, but the new rules are unlikely to restore the territory’s devastated economy or allow rebuilding of all that was destroyed in last year’s war. The White House welcomed the changes that were announced Monday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington for a meeting with President Barack Obama. International Mideast envoy Tony Blair said Israel’s measures “should have a dramatic influence on the daily lives of the people of Gaza and on the private sector.” The new blockade rules come in response to an outcry following a deadly Israeli raid on a blockade-busting flotilla at the end of May. The changes will improve Gazans’ access to goods from household cleaners to timber, but Israel will continue to ban most travel and exports from Gaza and restrict the import of desperately needed construction materials. Gaza business leaders and rights activists said the measures are far short of what Gaza needs, and that the only active cargo crossing, Kerem Shalom, may not be enough to bring in all the goods now permitted.
Clinton calls on Russia to meet ceasefire commitments TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton rebuked Russia on Monday for failing to live up to the ceasefire agreement it signed nearly two years ago to end the fighting in this small former Soviet state. She asserted that Russia is occupying parts of Georgia and building permanent military bases in contravention of the truce. “We’re calling on the Russians to enforce the agreement they signed,” she told a news conference with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili at her side. She said that includes pulling its troops back to the positions they held before the invasion. Several times she pointedly referred to Russian troops as occupiers of the breakaway Georgian territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. She said the U.S. was “appalled and totally rejected” Russia’s rationale for the invasion, which temporarily put U.S.-Russian relations in a deep freeze and prompted NATO to suspend cooperation with Moscow. “The United States is steadfast in its commitment to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” she said. “The United States does not recognize spheres of influence,” she added, referring to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s claim that his country has “privileged interests” and special influence in Georgia and other former Soviet states.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A leading Dutch environmental agency, taking the blame for one of the glaring errors that undermined the credibility of a seminal U.N. report on climate change, said Monday it has discovered more small mistakes and urged the panel to be more careful. But the review by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency claimed that none of the errors effected the fundamental conclusion by U.N. panel of scientists: that global warming caused by humans already is happening and is threatening the lives and well-being of millions of people. Mistakes discovered in the 3,000-page report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year fed into an atmosphere of skepticism over the reliability of climate scientists who have been warning for many years that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases could have catastrophic consequences, including rising sea levels, drought and the extinction of nearly one-third of the Earth’s species. The errors put scientists on the defensive in the months before a major summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December, which met with only limited success on agreeing how to limit carbon emissions and contain the worst effects of global warming. The underlying IPCC conclusions remain valid, said Maarten Hajer, the Dutch agency’s director. The IPCC report is not a house of cards that collapses with one error, but is more like a puzzle with many pieces that need to fit together. “So the errors do not affect the whole construction,” he said at a news conference.
Komorowski’s win strengthens party’s hold on Poland WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland chose a rival of the late president over his twin brother in a vote seen as a move away from three months of shock, grief and mourning that followed the death of Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash. Bronislaw Komorowski was declared the winner Monday, meaning his governing pro-business Civic Platform party now has a year of control of both government and the presidency before the next parliamentary elections. It represents a chance for them to fulfill promises to dismantle some remnants of the old communist-era welfare state. They have pledged to attack privileges ranging from permanent sick leave to low taxes for rich farmers in an attempt to prevent the European debt crisis from spreading to Poland. The eastern European nation of 38 million people is the largest of the new European Union members and has a vibrant economy that has grown even amid the global downturn. But it is still struggling with legacies from its decades of communist rule, including dilapidated infrastructure and large numbers of unemployed who haven’t adjusted well to capitalism — many of whom draw welfare benefits. Komorowski was elected for a five-year term, separately from the government, ending three years in which Lech Kaczynski, a social conservative who favored strong welfare protections, used his veto power to stop Prime Minister Donald Tusk from pushing through free market reforms.
About 1 million will gain health care coverage by 2011 WASHINGTON (AP) — The first stage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is expected to provide coverage to about 1 million uninsured Americans by next year, according to government estimates. That’s a small share of the uninsured, but in a shaky economy, experts say it’s notable.
Many others — more than 100 million people — are getting new benefits that improve their existing coverage. Overall costs appear modest at this point, split among taxpayers, employers and individuals who directly benefit, although the biggest part of the health care expansion is still four years away. For weeks, the White House has been touting the new law’s initial benefit changes, even as Obama dares Republicans to make good on their threat to repeal his signature social policy achievement. Now, a clearer picture is starting to emerge from the patchwork of press releases.
Starting school day half-hour later shows big gains in study CHICAGO (AP) — Giving teens 30 extra minutes to start their school day leads to more alertness in class, better moods, less tardiness, and even healthier breakfasts, a small study found. “The results were stunning. There’s no other word to use,” said Patricia Moss, academic dean at the Rhode Island boarding school where the study was done. “We didn’t think we’d get that much bang for the buck.” The results appear in July’s Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. The results mirror those at a few schools that have delayed starting times more than half an hour. Researchers say there’s a reason why even 30 minutes can make a big difference. Teens tend to be in their deepest sleep around dawn — when they typically need to arise for school. Interrupting that sleep can leave them groggy, especially since they also tend to have trouble falling asleep before 11 p.m. “There’s biological science to this that I think provides compelling evidence as to why this makes sense,” said Brown University sleep researcher Dr. Judith Owens, the study’s lead author and a pediatrician at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, R.I.
Venezuela honors Simon Bolivar’s lover CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — South America’s 19th century independence hero Simon Bolivar was reunited Monday with his controversial and audacious lover at a graveside ceremony. A coffer containing the symbolic remains of Manuela Saenz, an audacious woman credited with helping Bolivar liberate several South American nations from Spain, was moved alongside Bolivar’s tomb in an independence day celebration. The government of President Hugo Chavez is helping redress Saenz’s reputation, portraying her as one of the continent’s greatest heroines. Scorned as immoral and adulterous by some, Saenz spent the last years of her life destitute and her contribution to South America’s independence struggle against Spain was largely forgotten after she died during a diphtheria epidemic in 1856. Her body was burned and dumped, along with those of many other victims, in a mass grave in Ecuador. Chavez and Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa placed earth gathered from the grave where she was buried next to Bolivar’s tomb inside the National Pantheon as supporters of the two Latin American leaders cheered outside.
Charles Manson follower hopes for parole in 19th try LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leslie Van Houten, the onetime Charles Manson follower long seen as the most likely of his ex-acolytes to win freedom someday, faces her 19th parole hearing with a new lawyer and new case law which may give her the best chance yet for release.

Van Houten, 60, remains incarcerated at the California Institution for Women at Frontera, the same prison where another Manson follower, Patricia Krenwinkle, is imprisoned. Susan Atkins, the third woman convicted of murder in the crimes directed by cult leader Manson, died in prison last year after parole officials denied her dying request for freedom. Van Houten last appeared before a parole board in 2007. Her chances for parole are enhanced by the fact that she has been discipline free since her incarceration in the early 1970s, has positive psychological reports and has been active in self-help groups at the prison including “Golden Girls,” a group for elderly women inmates. She has a new lawyer, Brandie Devall, who told The Associated Press she will refer to rulings by the California Supreme Court in 2008 and 2009 affecting standards for parole.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — A Texas official said Monday that tar balls from the Gulf oil spill have been found on state beaches, becoming the first known evidence that gushing crude from the Deepwater Horizon well has now reached all the Gulf states. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said two crews were removing tar balls found on the Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island on Sunday. “We’ve said since day one that if and when we have an impact from Deepwater Horizon, it would be in the form of tar balls,” Patterson said in a news release. “This shows that our modeling is accurate. Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab.” The state said responders have recovered about 35 gallons of waste material tainted by the oil from the two sites. Signs of landfall by oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill had previously only been reported in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Widow lives with corpses of husband, twin WYALUSING, Pa. (AP) — The 91-year-old widow lived by herself in a tumbledown house on a desolate country road. But she wasn’t alone, not really, not as long as she could visit her husband and twin sister. No matter they were already dead. Jean Stevens simply had their embalmed corpses dug up and stored them at her house — in the case of her late husband, for more than a decade — tending to the remains as best she could until police were finally tipped off last month. Much to her dismay. “Death is very hard for me to take,� Stevens told an interviewer. As state police finish their investigation into a singularly macabre case — no charges have been filed — Stevens wishes she could be reunited with James Stevens, her husband of nearly 60 years who died in 1999, and June Stevens, the twin who died last October. But their bodies are with the Bradford County coroner now, off-limits to the woman who loved them best. From time to time, stories of exhumed bodies are reported, but rarely do those involved offer an explanation. Jean Stevens, seeming more grandmother than ghoul, holds little back as she describes what happened outside this small town in northern Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains. She knows what people must think of her. But she had her reasons, and they are complicated, a bit sad, and in their own peculiar way, sweet. Dressed smartly in a light blue shirt and khaki skirt, silver hoops in her ears, her white hair swept back and her brown eyes clear and sharp, she offers a visitor a slice of pie, then casts a knowing look when it’s declined. “You’re afraid I’ll poison you,� she says. On a highboy in the corner of the dining room rests a handsome, black-and-white portrait of Jean, then a stunner in her early 20s, and James, clad in his Army uniform. It was taken after their 1942 marriage but before his service in World War II, in which he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, James worked at a General Electric Corp. plant in Liverpool, N.Y., then as an auto me-
chanic. He succumbed to Parkinson’s disease on May 21, 1999. Though June lived more than 200 miles away in West Hartford, Conn., they talked by phone several times a week, and June wrote often. The twins — who, as it happened, married brothers — were honored guests at the 70th reunion of the Camptown High School Class of 1937. Then, last year, June was diagnosed with cancer. She was in a lot of pain when Jean came to visit. The sisters shared a bed, and Jean rubbed her back. “I’m real glad you’re here,� June said. On Oct. 3, June died. She was buried in her sister’s backyard — but not for long. “I think when you put them in the (ground), that’s goodbye, goodbye,� Stevens said. “In this way I could touch her and look at her and talk to her.� She kept her sister, who was dressed in her “best housecoat,� on an old couch in a spare room off the bedroom. Jean sprayed her with expensive perfume that was June’s favorite. “I’d go in, and I’d talk, and I’d forget,� Stevens said. “I put glasses on her. When I put the glasses on, it made all the difference in the world. I would fix her up. I’d fix her face up all the time.� She offered a similar rationale for keeping her husband on a couch in the detached garage. James, who had been laid to rest in a nearby cemetery, wore a dark suit, white shirt and blue knitted tie. “I could see him, I could look at him, I could touch him. Now, some people have a terrible feeling, they say, ‘Why do you want to look at a dead person? Oh my gracious,�’ she said. Part of her worries that after death, there’s ... nothing. “Is that the grand finale?� But then she gets up at night and gazes at the stars in the sky and the deer in the fields, and she thinks, “There must be somebody who created this. It didn’t come up like mushrooms.� So she is ambivalent about God and the afterlife. “I don’t always go to church, but I want to believe,� Stevens said. Dr. Helen Lavretsky, a psychiatry professor at UCLA who researches how the elderly
view death and dying, said people who aren’t particularly spiritual or religious often have a difficult time with death because they fear that death is truly the end. For them, “death doesn’t exist,� she said. “They deny death.� Stevens, she said, “came up with a very extreme expression of it. She got her bodies back, and she felt fulfilled by having them at home. She’s beating death by bringing them back.� There was another reason that Stevens wanted them above ground. She is severely claustrophobic and so was her sister; she was horrified that the bodies of her loved ones would spend eternity in a casket in the ground. “That’s suffocation to me, even though you aren’t breathing,� she said. So she said she had them dug up, both within days of burial. She managed to escape detection for a long time. The neighbors who mowed her lawn and took her grocery shopping either didn’t know or didn’t tell. Otherwise forthcoming, Stevens is vague when asked about who exhumed the bodies and who knew of her odd living arrangement. She blames a relative of her late husband’s for calling the authorities about the corpses. State police — who haven’t yet released the identities of those who retrieved the bodies — will soon present their findings to Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett. A decision on charges is expected in a few weeks. Barrett said shortly after the bodies were discovered that authorities were looking into possible violations including misdemeanor abuse of a corpse. He also said violations of state health code provisions regulating how bodies must be disinterred are punishable as criminal offenses. Stevens has talked extensively with both the police and Bradford County Coroner Tom Carman, who calls it a “very, very bizarre case.� “I got quite an education, to say the least. She’s 100 percent cooperative — and a pleasure to talk to,� Carman said. “But as far as her psyche, I’ll leave that to the experts.�

Fishing with Capt. Gus: Hot weather boating, fishing tips After a really cold winter, it looks like we’re headed for a super hot summer. The mid-June heat wave caused Lake Norman’s surface water temperatures to soar into the mid to high 80s, making it feel like bath water. On days when the sun is bright and the wind is light, the heat becomes noticeable at 8 a.m. By 10 a.m., it’s time to seek shade and air conditioning. So, how can fishermen and boaters beat the heat and still enjoy time during the summer boating season? First, get an early start, especially if you plan to fish. It’s not just humans, but also the fish, that are affected by the summer sun. One reason is that fish do not have eyelids. Since they don’t, they go deep or
seek cover to avoid the blinding rays of the summer sun. The hotter the day, the more important it is to protect fish baits. Worms, minnows and crickets will die quickly if not sheltered. Minnows live best in an insulated bucket with aeration. If you want worms to be lively, keep them in a cool location away from the sun. Crickets also need shade or they will also die. Unhook fish with care and quickly release them. The longer a fish stays out of the water, the more likely it is to die. Due to the likelihood of dying, the North Carolina Resources Commission encourages anglers to keep any size striper up to the creel limit of 4 between June 1 and Sept. 30. All fish being kept should be put on ice immediately. It’s a good idea to have extra ice on
board throughout the summer to chill your catch and keep refreshments cool. Be certain that everyone on board has plenty to drink. The ice chest should have lots of chilled water and other drinks to replace the fluids lost to the summer heat. Staying hydrated is number one, but staying cool is also a challenge on a hot day. Does your boat have a T-top or a Bimini? If it doesn’t, wearing a hat will also help to keep you cool. While caps are popular, wide bream hats are even better because they shade the face and neck. Regardless, don’t leave home without protection for your head. The rest of the body should be protected as well, with a combination of sunscreen and lightweight clothing. One of the great things about
summer is that when all else fails, you can jump in the water to cool off. There are many boats that anchor and the people spend the day floating in the water — a cool way to spend a day. Lake Norman has dozens of islands suitable for beaching your boat, picnicking and swimming. Sandy shores are great places to spend a delightful summer day. But, remember, they are off limits to everyone from sundown to sunup each night. Upcoming event: Free Fishing Seminar on “Bank and Dock Fishing for Sunfish, White Perch, Catfish and Bass.” Gander Mountain, Exit 36 off Interstate 77, Wednesday, July 24, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Bring the entire family to this free event. Fishing with cane poles,
hooks and bobbers, live and cutbaits will be discussed. Suggestions will be given about the best places to fish from shore. Contact 704-6580822 for additional information. Recent hot spots: Striped bass are hitting lures trolled to 40 feet, from Governor’s Island south to Marker 3, and in Reed Creek from D9 out to the old river channel. Bass continue to surface feed throughout the day on points, humps and near boat basins. White perch are 15 to 50 feet deep. Best bets are Little, Reed and Davidson creeks. The lake level is about 2 below full pond and the water surface temperature is in the 80s and 90s. You can visit www. lakenormanstriperfishing. com or call Gus Gustafson at 704-617-6812.

Big Day at the Lake coming July 24
Rare bear attack rattles Kentucky outdoors enthusiasts FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A black bear that mauled a hiker eluded traps last week and a scenic area in the Daniel Boone National Forest was closed to the public after the rare attack by an Appalachian bear on a human. Wildlife officers couldn’t find the animal that attacked, bit and shook Tim Scott of Springfield on June 27 in a remote area near Stanton in eastern Kentucky, state tourism spokeswoman Barbara Atwood said. “They had a bear sighting yesterday. However, they could not confirm that it was the bear in question,” Atwood said. “But they feel confident the bear is still in the area.” Scott, 56, survived and was released from a Lexington hospital. Scott said he was hiking in the Red River Gorge Geological Area ahead of his wife and son when he spotted the bear about 25 feet away. He said it appeared to be about 150 pounds and he took a few photos with his cell phone until the bear disappeared under a ledge. Scott said he was about to call his wife to tell her to take another trail when the bear reappeared. Scott said he yelled and dropped his belt bag, hoping to distract the animal. The bear just sniffed the bag and continued approaching Scott, who grabbed a rotted branch and hit the bear. But the animal kept coming. Eventually, the bear “lunged forward and grabbed me a bit, but let go.” Scott tried to move behind a tree for protection a couple of times, but he said the bear grabbed him by the leg and
threw him. Then, he said, it sank its teeth into his thigh and shook him. Anthony Gobel of Fowler, Ind., was among a small group of hikers who heard the commotion and came to Scott’s rescue. Gobel, a muscular 28-year-old service technician who climbs wind turbines for a living, estimated the bear weighed about 400 pounds. “I’m a 200-pound man, and he was definitely twice my size,” Gobel told the Associated Press. “His head was bigger than a basketball.” Gobel said his group was able to chase the bear away from Scott. “Once there was enough space between the bear and Mr. Scott, I got between them. He was pretty upset with me and lunged at me.” Gobel swung his pack. “I hit him as hard as I could,” he said. “I think it just stunned him. He wasn’t ready for anything like that.” Gobel said the bear followed the group for about a half mile. When they were a safe distance away, Gobel said he put his belt around Scott’s leg to stop the bleeding. “It was a pretty traumatic experience,” Gobel said. “At the time, I just wasn’t thinking really. I just reacted. I just used my instincts.” He added, “I’m thinking God put me there for a reason. It’s not a trip that we had planned. It just happened.” The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said it was the first recorded bear attack on a person in the state that they’re aware of. Wildlife Division Director

Tim Scott provided this photo showing a black bear walking in the woods near Stanton, Ky. Scott got about 60 stitches after being attacked by the bear. Karen Waldrop said the agency’s policy is to kill any bear that behaves aggressively toward humans, and officials have closed the popular scenic area and set traps. Atwood said the closure should help keep the bear from being scared out
of the area. Black bears were common in Kentucky more than 100 years ago but disappeared due to over-hunting and loss of habitat. Over the past 20 years, they have found their way back from neighboring states such as Tennessee,
Virginia and West Virginia. The U.S. bear population more than doubled between 1989 and 2006, rising from 165,000 to over 350,000, according to The International Association of Bear Research and Management, a conservation nonprofit.
Coast Guard advisory comes as great white sharks are sighted BOSTON (AP) — As the summer tourist season ramps up, the Coast Guard is telling recreational boaters and paddlers to keep an eye out for predatory sharks in the ocean waters off the Northeast, warning that the creatures could easily capsize a small boat or kayak. The shark advisory, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard district that covers waters from Maine to New Jersey, came several days after the crew of a tuna boat caught and later released a 7-foot juvenile great white shark in the Stellwagen Bank fishing area, about 20 miles off Massachusetts. Several great white sharks were spotted off Cape Cod last summer, and experts believe more will return this summer, attracted by the exploding local population of seals, a favorite shark food. With a hot, sunny July Fourth weekend forecast, residents and tourists are expected to flock to beaches. Massachusetts officials held a news conference last week to stress that no great whites — the
kind of shark that taunted swimmers in the book and movie “Jaws” — had been spotted near beaches, and that beachgoers and swimmers should not be worried so long as they exercise “common sense” and avoid swimming near seals. In the Coast Guard advisory, Al Johnson, a recreational boating specialist, said boaters and paddlers generally don’t have to concern themselves with predators, and noted that shark attacks are extremely rare. “But I have no doubt that a great white shark that swims into your comfort zone would surely find a splashing paddle or dangling hand inviting,” Johnson wrote. “I also expect that same passing shark would spend little time differentiating between boater, paddler and prey.” Sharks spotted off New England have been as long as 15 feet, Johnson said. Recreational boaters and kayakers should steer clear of seal colonies or passing pods of seals, Johnson said. And anyone who spots a shark should resist any temptation to go near it.

Lawsuits filed over prize money for huge marlin MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — Two lawsuits have been filed over the $900,000 in prize money for a record-breaking marlin caught and then disqualified in a North Carolina fishing tournament. Multiple media outlets reported last week that the owners of the boat Citation sued in their home Dare County, seeking to prevent the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament from awarding the top prize money. The tournament’s board of directors then went to court in Carteret County, seeking a judgment to confirm the disqualification of the 883-pound blue marlin the Citation brought in June 14. The board wants to award the money to the boat Carnivore as the 2010 winner. The Citation was disqualified when tournament officials learned the boat’s mate did not have a North Carolina fishing license as required when it landed the recordbreaking marlin.
Hikers warned
MAZAMA, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol is warning hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail they could face arrest, jail and a $5,000 fine if they cross the U.S.-Canadian border improperly. Hikers are being told to only enter the U.S. at designated crossings. The 2,650mile trail runs from Mexico through the U.S. and nine miles into British Columbia.

Ask Amy: Daughter neglects father on special days Dear Amy: My stepdaughter lives in a different state from my husband and me. After my husband and her mother divorced, she moved very far away. The relationship has been strained by distance, as well as his exASK wife’s attitude AMY toward him. We’ve maintained communication and a relationship with his daughter, and not a holiday has gone by without my husband sending her something — a card and/or gift. We helped pay for her wedding, and now that she has children we always remember them as well. My stepdaughter has let another Father’s Day go by without so much as a phone
call or card. She ignores his birthday and Christmas too. Sometimes she’ll let a week pass and then call to say hello, but not mention the holiday. This year I sent her an email saying that her dad’s birthday was coming up and that he’d love to hear from her. She never responded. My husband hates confrontation, so he won’t say anything — yet it hurts him terribly. Should I ask her why she does this? Or since I am the stepmother, should I stay quiet? — Wondering Stepmom Dear Stepmom: Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do much at this point to push these two into a more balanced state because your husband doesn’t dare to express himself. That’s a shame because unless your husband behaves
differently, nothing will change. He should find a way to convey to his daughter that their relationship can be better if they both try to make it that way. It’s possible that she would like to behave differently but doesn’t know how. He should let her know that he’s brave enough to hear whatever she needs to say to him. He should also admit that it hurts him when she doesn’t acknowledge him on these special days. After he has said these things, he will feel better — and no matter what his daughter does, this will help. Your role in this is to encourage him, rather than directly intercede on his behalf. Dear Amy: I have a friend who is the father of a 12year-old son. My friend’s son’s bedroom is filled with
stuffed animals. These are not “guy” toys, but pink, yellow, orange, etc., stuffed animals. We have tried to tell the dad that this is not appropriate for a young man, but he just scoffs at us. There are hundreds of these stuffed animals in this child’s room. What are your thoughts? — Wondering Friend Dear Wondering: Hundreds of any toy is too much for a child to have kicking around in his bedroom, but it’s not for you to judge the type of toys this child collects. It’s also not for you to judge whether stuffed animals are sufficiently masculine for someone else’s child to play with. If this dad seeks out your counsel on the quantity and quality of his son’s toys, then go for it. Otherwise, you should keep your views to yourself.
Dear Amy: I’d like to offer you some feedback as to what marrying couples who ask for cash for wedding gifts might be trying to accomplish. I’m a loan officer with a bank in the Washington, D.C., area. The FHA has a program called the Bridal Registry Account. It is a wonderful way for couples just starting out to get money for a down payment on a home. The FHA requires that all funds be documented as to their source to protect against fraud. If done correctly, it alleviates the donor of any financial minimum or maximum since the newlywed couple only gets notified that deposits have been made into their account, and while they know who gave, they do not know the amounts. This is great for friends
who may be struggling financially and only able to give a small gift. All the engaged couple knows is that they cared enough to give the gift, which is all that really matters, right? — Loan Officer Dear Officer:: I agree that this is a wonderful idea. People interested in setting up a gift registry can inquire at their local bank or search on the Internet for ways to participate in this program. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Simple tools help make retirement planning easy I learned the best piece of investing advice I ever received in the newspaper: "When it comes to investing, seek advice but never grant authority." It told me that I need to become responMARY sible for makHUNT ing my own investment decisions instead of handing over that task to someone else simply because I don't know anything about investing. Making my own investing decisions has required me to learn on my own so I can understand and use outside advice wisely. Even if you can afford the services of a professional, you should learn the fundamentals. You need to be able to answer three simple questions for yourself: Am I on track to retire? How should I allocate my investments? What investment should I choose? You can come up with the answers to these questions if you have a computer and Internet access, said Elizabeth K. Miller, president of Summit Place Financial Advisors, in a recent interview with Bottom Line/Personal newsletter. Am I on track to retire? You can find out quickly by using the free "Retirement Nest Egg Calculator" at http://www.aarp.org/money. With this tool, you can discover how much you need to put away based on your age and the rate of return you think you can count on in the years ahead. The best part is you can play around with different scenarios. With the economy the way it is right now, Miller suggests trying 3, 5 and 7 percent returns to see how this changes your potential. How should I allocate my investments? Once you know how much you need to contribute each month, Miller advises that you look
seriously at your individual risk tolerance. MSN Money (http://money.msn.com) offers a free "Risk Tolerance Quiz," which will help you determine where you stand. After taking the 20-question quiz, you'll be able to figure out how you should allocate your current assets, as well as your future contributions. What investments should I choose? Miller introduced me to a fantastic website, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's site (http://www.finra.org), which includes a very useful education component. At FINRA's website, click on "Investors" and then "Smart Investing." There you will find unbiased educational information that is easy to understand, which will help you figure out the types of investments you should choose. You will gain new understanding of the options your employer offers in your 401(k), as well as other investment and retirement accounts you might have. Once you know the kinds of investments you should make, pop over to http://www.morningstar.co m.

‘Eclipse’ rises to $82.5M over holiday weekend LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” has risen to an $82.5 million haul over the long Fourth of July weekend and lifted its total to $175.3 million after just six days, according to studio estimates Monday. The vampire romance from Summit Entertainment finished at No. 1 over the fourday weekend, despite a steep drop in its daily take after a $68.5 million start last Wednesday, the second biggest opening day ever. “Movies that pop this big on opening day, it’s virtually impossible to keep up that breakneck pace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “We’ve seen this with a lot of movies where the first day is their biggest day, then it kind
of settles into a more normal pattern.” Coming in second for the weekend with $53.2 million from Friday to Monday was Paramount’s action fantasy “The Last Airbender,” pushing its total to $70.5 million since opening Thursday. The movie did strong business despite terrible reviews. Disney’s Pixar Animation blockbuster “Toy Story 3,” which had been No. 1 the two previous weekends, slipped to third-place with $42.2 million, raising its domestic total to $301.1 million. “Toy Story 3” shot past last year’s “Up” at $293 million to become the No. 2 hit for Pixar, behind only “Finding Nemo” at $339.7 million. “Eclipse” waned after its huge opening day, with Sum-
males accounting for 35 percent of audiences, compared to just 20 percent for last year’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” “New Moon” took in $142.8 million in its three-day opening weekend last November. That movie debuted on Friday, and the figure includes its record opening day gross of $72.7 million. For its first six days, “Eclipse” is $3.6 million behind “New Moon,” which had taken in $178.9 million at that point. “New Moon” went on to gross $296.6 million, a $104 million increase over the total for “Twilight,” the first movie in the franchise.

mit lowering projections for the movie through the weekend. On Sunday, the company was expecting a $181 million total for the movie’s first six days, but revenues came in nearly $6 million lower. Summit overestimated how big an audience “Eclipse” would draw on Sunday, when people were busy with Fourth of July barbecues and fireworks, said Richie Fay, the company’s head of distribution. “I don’t think it’s a reflection on the movie or ‘Twilight’ fatigue at this point,” Fay said. “Eclipse” earned better reviews than the two previous “Twilight” movies and the fan base has expanded, with

Although family is of utmost importance to you, so will be your social involvements in the year ahead. Many of your successes will be stimulated through persons you pal around with socially, so find some time for them as well. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don’t just wish and wait for good things to happen. Take the initiative to make that which you’ve been hoping a reality. Define your objectives and then go after them. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The results for which you’re hoping will be there for you, but not necessarily on your first try. It’s important to stay with your objective, even if you have to try several different methods to achieve it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An important lesson you’re likely to learn firsthand isn’t apt to be gleaned from books. The knowledge you’ll acquire through this personal experience will often be used both wisely and judiciously. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’re especially gifted with an ability to fit yourself into constructive situations others may have going for them. What you know might earn you a place in a very good deal. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Thankfully you’ll take plenty of time to study all the contingencies involving a major decision that must be made, because there could be a couple of major ones you might miss at first reading. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — An appreciative recipient of your past thoughtfulness will try to return the favor when s/he sees you could use some help. It proves that everything comes back to us eventually. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even though you usually prefer to function independently of others, one of your more impressive achievements will come about with the assistance of another who pitches in. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re capable of being a strong finisher, so if there is anything significant that could use closure, don’t hesitate to take it on, regardless of its size. You can close this big job now. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have important issues to discuss, and can’t do so during the day, check to see if the other party is available late afternoon or early evening. It’s a good day for making agreements. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Keep all your options open as to how you might earn some extra funds today. Something different might open up that would enable you to take advantage of a new moneymaking situation. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This would be an excellent day to take that short trip you need to make for some kind of practical reason. Don’t put it off any longer, especially if you get that chance to do so. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Let events unfold naturally instead of trying to manipulate everything to conform to your schedule. You’ll be far better off following loosely structured arrangements. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Dear Dr. Gott: Any advice on how to treat tinnitus?

Defense, as we are aware, is the hardest part of the game. Working out what to do is tough when you cannot see partner’s hand. Declarer enjoys a huge advantage in knowing all of his assets. Take the East hand in this deal. West, your partner, leads the spade king against four hearts. What would you do? You might have taken action over North’s opening bid. But would you have chosen a light takeout double or a twoclub overcall? It isn’t clearcut. North had an interesting rebid. Despite only 15 highcard points, he needed so little opposite — four hearts to the king-queen — for game in hearts to be laydown. North might have settled for four hearts (but that would have implied a big, balanced hand). Or he could have jumped to four clubs, a splinter bid showing game values in hearts with four-card support and a singleton or void in clubs. Or he could have rebid four diamonds, which promises 4-6 in the red suits with a strong diamond suit. Which would you choose? If you, East, play without thinking, you will signal with your spade nine, asking partner to keep playing that suit. However, if your side starts with three rounds of spades, South will ruff, draw trumps, and claim an overtrick. You should see the benefit of a diamond shift at trick two. Play your spade three. Then, partner should trust you and switch to a diamond.

If he does, the defense goes: spade king, diamond ruff, spade to the 10, and diamond ruff for down one.
Queen wraps up Canadian visit WATERLOO, Ontario (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II will tour the headquarters of BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion and will have a state dinner with the prime minister on the last full day of her nine-day visit to Canada. The queen on Tuesday heads to New York. There she will visit the site of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and also address the United Nations General Assembly. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty on Monday is expected to present the queen and Prince Philip with personalized BlackBerries with messages from him. The queen visited Canada to celebrate the country’s 143rd birthday and to mark the Canadian navy’s centennial.

Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I have horizontal ripples, bumps and concaves on my index-finger nail and thumbnail. My index finger has had the problem for years, the thumbnail for about six weeks. And other nails have been changing. I’ve gone to too many doctors to count, and there are still no visible changes or solutions. Any inkling would be appreciated. Dear Reader: Ridged nails are often an indication of a vitamin or mineral deficien-
cy, poor diet, the aging process or a loss of moisture. Shortages of A, B, iron, protein and calcium are commonly detected. Horizontal ridges have been linked to heart conditions, diabetes, kidney disorders and respiratory disease. As we age, the nails don’t always receive adequate moisture. If your diet is adequate, consider drinking more water each day and rub castor or olive oil onto your nails periodically. Dr. Peter H.

Rowan on the brink
South Rowan blasts its way past Wilkes BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
WILKESBORO — Patrick Bearden is the cleanup hitter for South S. Rowan 13 Rowan, which sent lefty Wilkes 2 Jesse Park to the mound Monday night. Both players experience success with low strikeout totals. Bearden smacked a three-run homer and registered seven RBIs in a 13-2 road win against Wilkes County. Park allowed eight hits, fanned five batters and surrendered one earned run while going all nine innings
for South, which has taken the first two games in the best-of-five playoff series. South, which finished with 24 hits, led 4-1 before Bearden’s sixth-inning blast provided some breathing room. “Usually we score all the BEARDEN runs in the first couple innings,” Park said. “Tonight we kind of did it last thing. We got 13 runs, so you can’t gripe about that.”

MOORESVILLE — Rowan County’s Mooresville 11 Zach Smith Rowan 0 went airborne at the fence in right-center, but another home run by Mooresville’s Chris Dula disappeared over the blue wall, just beyond his reach. Smith’s near-miss in the second inning was the only time Rowan came close on Monday night. Mooresville got two homers from Tyler Lewis and smart pitching from Wes Dumford and

buried Rowan 11-0 in seven innings. “There was nothing we could do,” said Rowan shortstop Preston Troutman, who started three double plays to stop an even bigger landslide. “They hit; we didn’t. You’ve got to give Dumford all the
credit for that.” The lopsided loss shoved second-seeded Rowan (23-10) to the brink of elimination and an early vacation. No. 3 seed Mooresville (21-6) goes for a sweep of the best-of-five series tonight at Newman Park. “We’ve had two good nights in a row, for sure,” said Mooresville coach Josh Graham said. “At the same time, we know we’ve done it against the back end of Rowan’s pitching rotation, and we know as well as anyone a team can come back and win three in a row.

Watch out! Harvick one of few who survived Daytona BY MARK LONG Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The cracked, patched and deteriorating track held up better than most of the cars and some of the competitors. A wild night race at Daytona International Speedway — the last one on the track’s 32-year-old surface — ended with Kevin Harvick taking the checkered flag, teammate Clint Bowyer spinning through the infield grass and several angry drivers searching for answers.
Just another restrictor-plate race? Maybe. But this one also might be remembered as one of the more chaotic events at NASCAR’s most famous track. “Every time I looked KAHNE up, there was a crash going on,” second-place finisher Kasey Kahne said. It sure seemed that way, especially over the final 45 laps Saturday night. Despite a record 18 leaders and 47
lead changes, the real excitement resulted from six multi-car crashes in the second half of the race that essentially wiped out half the field. The biggest of them all, a 20-car melee that included four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, came with 12 laps to go and halted action for 20 minutes. There was even more commotion after the race. With fireworks exploding and smoke lingering from Harvick’s celebratory burnout, Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch had a heated exchange.

Halladay beats Atlanta BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roy Halladay pitched his seventh complete game on Monday.
PHILADELPHIA — Nearly an hour after going the Phillies 3 distance again, Roy Braves 1 Halladay walked over to reporters with ice on his arm and sweat dripping from his forehead. Maybe it’s his postgame workouts that make Halladay such a workhorse on the mound. Halladay pitched his major leaguebest seventh complete game this season, Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night. “He pitched a super game,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “He’s a horse.” Halladay (10-7) allowed five hits
Mets lose
and struck out seven to record New York still trail his second Braves by two games straight comafter loss to Reds, 3C plete game. The All-Star righthander outdueled Derek Lowe (9-7) and needed just 93 pitches to finish. Then he really broke a sweat on the bike and doing arm exercises. “Just getting the blood moving,” Halladay said. Chipper Jones homered for the NL East-leading Braves. The two-time NL champion Phillies, who lost three of four to lowly Pittsburgh over the weekend, need to win this three-game series to avoid losing more ground in the division. They’re 17-23 in the last 40 games and
trail Atlanta by four games. Lowe allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out six. The sinkerballer gave up only two flyouts. “Lowe pitched another great game. Again we didn’t score any runs for him,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said. Lowe was cruising until Jayson Werth hit a one-out single in the sixth. Dobbs hit the next pitch into the seats in right-center for his second homer and a 2-1 lead. Jones gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the first when he hit the first pitch he saw from Halladay into the seats in left-center for just his sixth homer. Halladay hasn’t received much support from a previously high-powered offense that’s been inconsistent this season. The Phillies have scored a total of 12 runs in Halladay’s seven losses.

Mets can’t gain ground on Braves The Major League roundup ... NEW YORK— The New York Mets had a chance to gain a game on the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Joey Votto wouldn’t let them. Votto swatted a pair of home runs and the Cincinnati Reds took advantage of a rare overturned call by the umpires to earn a wild 8-6 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Drew Stubbs and Corky Miller each drove in a pair of runs during a strange six-run fifth inning, one that included everything from a run-scoring triple by rookie pitcher Travis Wood to Mets manager Jerry Manuel getting tossed for arguing with the umpires. Giants 6, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE — San Francisco’s Aubrey Huff hit a two-run single after another costly error by Milwaukee shortstop Alcides Escobar. Buster Posey added a solo homer in the eighth for the Giants, who won for the second time in 10 games. Corey Hart extended his hitting streak to 20 games. Cubs 9, Diamondbacks 4 PHOENIX — Starlin Castro and Geovany Soto drove in two runs each and Tom Gorzelanny worked around six walks in five innings for Chicago. Kosuke Fukudome led off the game with a homer, Alfonzo Soriano notched his 800th career RBI with a

DETROIT — Brandon Inge drove in four runs, Carlos Guillen knocked in three and Detroit outscored Baltimore early, then held on for a 12-9 victory Monday. Inge, Guillen and Johnny Damon each had three of Detroit’s 17 hits. Brennan Boesch was the only starter without one, but became the first Tigers rookie to walk four times in a game since Steve Boros in 1961. Indians 9, Rangers 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt LaPorta hit a two-run homer, then later took an accidental elbow to the head and left the game as the Cleveland Indians won. Jayson Nix homered twice and rookie Carlos Santana also connected to help the Indians win for the seventh time in nine games. Texas slugger Nelson Cruz had a three-run homer wiped out after umpires watched a replay and correctly overturned the call. White Sox 9, Angels 2 CHICAGO — Carlos Quentin hit two late home runs and Gavin Floyd pitched seven solid innings to lead Chicago. Rays 6, Red Sox 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jason Bartlett’s sacrifice fly in the seventh inning snapped a tie and Tampa Bay rallied from a four-run deficit against Daisuke Matsuzaka to beat the Boston Red Sox 6-5.

Woods’ struggles continue Associated Press
ADARE, Ireland — Tiger Woods looked just as out of form in a celebrity pro-am as he did on the PGA Tour. The world’s No. 1 golfer arrived Monday in Ireland just hours after his 46thplace finish at the AT&T National in Pennsylvania and shot a 7-over 79 in the first round of the J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am. The unranked event in County Limerick featuring Hollywood celebrities and Irish billionaires was his first overseas event since revelations of his extramarital affairs surfaced last year. While more than 40,000 Irish golf fans offered him a friendly and forgiving welcome, Woods’ opening round at the 7,463-yard, par72 Adare Manor Golf Resort was mostly dreadful. He bogeyed six holes, double-bogeyed the 5th, and managed a lone birdie on the 17th.
South (24-4) pulled away by scoring six times in the final two innings. Bearden accounted for six of his team’s first seven RBIs, and he drove in at least one run in each of his five official plate appearances. He had one walk, one homer, two RBI singles and two RBI groundouts. “He’s in the ‘4’ hole for a reason,” South coach Michael Lowman said. “It’s because he generally puts the ball in play. “A lot of times guys put people there that are big swingers but strike out a lot. I like a guy that gets contact. He’s been able to do that. He got two or three RBIs tonight by just putting the ball in play, then he runs into one. He did a good job of situational hitting.” Blake Houston led off the game with a double and scored on Bearden’s single to left. Maverick Miles (4-for-6 with two doubles, three runs scored and two RBIs) raced home on a Bearden groundout in the third inning. South moved ahead 4-0 in the fourth thanks to a Miles single that scored Tripp Cross and a Bearden single that sent Julio Zubillaga to the plate. Zubillaga singled with one out in the sixth and reached third on Miles’ double. Bearden then ripped an inside fastball over the left-field fence. “We’ve been working in practice on backsiding everything,” Bearden said. “I get up there, I’m looking backside hits the whole time. If they throw one inside, I just try to turn on it.” Park returned to Wilkes Central High School six days after posting a shutout in a seven-inning victory that closed the regular season. He needed only 29 pitches to complete three perfect innings, and Wilkes scored on a sacrifice fly in the fourth.

dads that played against Rowan, so the kids do know the history,” Graham said. “But maybe history helps us. We’re not supposed to win. There’s no pressure.” On Monday, Mooresville kept the pressure on Rowan, starting with homers by Billy Nantz and Lewis off Cody Laws in the first inning. Dula’s bomb in the second made it 5-0. Nick Keith greeted reliever Alex Litaker with an RBI double in the third to make it 6-0, and the rout was on. Kyle Phillips’s two-run single and another homer by Lewis, Mooresville’s eighth in the series, finished the job. Lefty Keith Little will pitch for the Moors tonight at Newman against Thomas Allen. “We know Thomas will give us a chance,” Troutman said. “We’ve just got to scratch out some runs and back him up on defense.”

against High Point.” Rowan had its chances in a 9-6 loss in Game 1 at Newman Park. In Game 2, it had no chance at all. Had it been a fight, plate umpire J.T. Bost would’ve stepped between the teams and awarded the Moors a TKO after two innings. “They hit the crap out of the ball,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “They’re not intimidated at all, they’re digging in, and who are you gonna pitch to when everyone is hitting home runs?” Rowan hadn’t scored fewer than three runs in a game all summer, but Dumford allowed only four hits. Rowan had only one shot. That was in the fifth. Rowan trailed 7-0, but hits by Justin Morris and Smith put runners at second and third and gave slugger Noah Holmes a chance to change Mooresville 11, Rowan 0 momentum.

An unearned run crossed in the sixth. “He’s been able to throw strikes early in the count,” Lowman said. “He’s getting guys to put it in play, and guys behind him were making plays. (Middle infielders) Gunnar (Hogan) and Zubie made some more nice plays, and we were able to run down some balls in the outfield.” Park said he threw mostly fastballs in the regular-season finale. Assistant coach Kenny Simpson called for more breaking balls Monday. “I threw my breaking pitches for strikes in the bullpen, so he knew I’d do well with it in the game,” Park said. “I usually don’t do that well.”

Amare to New York
Waiting on Wade Associated Press
MIAMI — The word went out early Monday morning to Miami Heat fans. Show up at 8 a.m. and welcome Dwyane Wade back to South Florida, they were told. So they did. Right time. Wrong location. Wade arrived back in Miami, but instead of flying on a private jet into a charter facility — as the Heat marketing department expected — he took a commercial flight from Charleston, S.C., into one of the airport’s main terminals. So about 50 Heat fans, as well as a handful of team employees, left without a glimpse of Wade, who is expected to decide his playing future in the coming days. Later, Wade was seen walking into the Heat’s arena with owner Micky Arison. “He’ll hear that we were here,” said 20-year-old fan David Figueroa. “That’s enough, right?” Sure enough, Wade’s representatives confirmed that the six-time All-Star was aware of the gathering, albeit after he left Miami International Airport. The Heat leaked his travel plans overnight, telling fans to greet Wade at the Signature Air terminal at the airport. One of the triumvirate of marquee stars in this NBA free-agent megaclass, Wade could decide this week between the Heat, the New Jersey Nets, the New York Knicks and his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls.

LeBron remains mum Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — A pointed finger, smile, chuckle and head shake. That was all. If LeBron James has made up his mind, he’s not saying so. The NBA’s most wanted man offered no clues about his highly anticipated free agent decision on Monday after making an unexpected appearance — and getting in a few full-court hoop games with good friend Chris Paul — at his Nike skills academy at the University of Akron. After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow, James, wearing a white T-shirt and his familiar New York Yankees cap, headed toward the door of Rhodes Arena. On his way out, he was asked by The Associated Press if he had anything to say. James pointed toward a reporter in the balcony, smiled and shook his head in amuse-
ment. He then drove away in a white Bentley, one of seven vehicles in a caravan that included Paul, manager Maverick Carter, business partner Rich Paul and security personnel. Carter also declined comment to The AP. James, who is considering offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and at least four other teams, was not expected to appear at the first day of the camp, which features some of the nation’s top high school and college players. However, not only did James show up, he got in a spirited workout that included shooting drills and scrimmages. James guarded Duke’s Kyle Singler and Dayton’s Chris Wright during the 5-on-5 runs that were watched by everyone in the gym. He was in a good mood and spent part of the time joking around with Paul and former Cavs teammate Damon Jones.
NEW YORK — Amare Stoudemire is headed to the New York Knicks, and both sides are hoping he’s not coming alone. The Knicks said Monday they intend to sign Stoudemire to a contract later this week when the free agent moratorium period ends. Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters, said the deal is for the maximum allowed, which would be nearly $100 million over five years. Wearing a blue Knicks hat, Stoudemire said he looked forward to rebuilding a franchise and bringing the Knicks back to the top — maybe with a player such as LeBron James or Dwyane Wade with him. “I feel great about being a pioneer and showing my leadership,” he said at Madison Square Garden, where signs throughout the entrances showed the player pictured in a Knicks uniform and reading “Welcome, Amare Stoudemire.” The deal can’t be signed until Thursday, after the salary cap for next season has been set. It was a desperately needed score in free agency for the Knicks, who spent two seasons clearing enough cap space to afford two top players. They met with James, Wade and Chris

Bosh last week and believe they could still land one of them. Stoudemire has already started recruiting, saying he spoke to James’ people and directly to Wade last week. And he said he won’t be affected if those players say no to New York. “Totally comfortable, totally confident that my leadership qualities will uplift all of us to do something great this upcoming season,” Stoudemire said. “So again, the Knicks are back.” The move reunites Stoudemire with Mike D’Antoni, his former coach in Phoenix. Stoudemire averaged more than 20 points in every season they were together and immediately becomes the best player D’Antoni has coached since leaving the Suns after the 200708 season. “He’s a dominant offensive player for sure, in a variety of ways,” D’Antoni said.

to upset the apple cart than it is about making thoughtful decisions that can better the sport. The old way of crowning a champion based on a 36-race body of work was boring, and a driver wrapping up a championship with two or three races to go in a season isn’t very interesting. And it’s not coming back, ever. The Chase is here to stay, and it’s a very good thing for the sport. However, France cannot continue to tweak the system every few years and expect fans to ever accept a system that changes every time NASCAR wants more interest. He’s got to get it right this time around, once and for all.

Five steps to ensure a health crisis 10 Things to Know About doesn't mean financial ruin Census Takers (ARA) - A serious long-term illness or disability can have a devastating, often irreversible, affect on a family's financial well-being. In fact, health care expenses are among the most common cause of bankruptcies, according to findings published in the "American Journal of Medicine" last year.
"People are often reluctant to reach out to their mortgage company or their landlord, they start missing payments, and the foreclosure or eviction process starts before they finally explain the situation," says Gada. "By that time, it may be too late."
* Seek assistance with utilities, food and other necessities. Conserve your resources by finding assistance to help you cope. Hundreds of federal, local and private resources are available in most communities. These can range from neighborhood food pantries to federally funded programs, such as Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Most people are not financially prepared to have their employment interrupted, even briefly. For example, studies find more than 60 percent of workers live paycheck to paycheck. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that the personal savings rate in March was just 2.7 percent of after-tax income.
"First, have hope, because there are things you can do to take control," says Paul Gada, personal finance director for the Allsup Disability Life Planning Center. Allsup is a nationwide provider of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation and Medicare plan selection services.
Many more people indicate they are considering assistance than are actually securing this assistance, according to an Allsup poll. They may not understand how to apply or they may not meet the income thresholds initially, but could later on as they spend down their assets.

A Census Taker WILL: 1. Carry a white, government-issued ID card with official U.S. Census Bureau seal and his or her name handwritten on it and/or a black shoulder bag with “U.S. Census Bureau” written on it. 2. Introduce himself or herself and show you the confidentiality statement. 3. Census takers will have a flashcard containing a sentence about the 2010 Census written in approximately 50 languages. 4. If asked, provide contact information for a supervisor and/or the Local Census Office for verification. 5. Ask only the questions that are on the questionnaire. A Census Taker WILL NOT: 6. Ask to enter your home. 7. Ask about your Social Security number or immigration status. 8. Ask for your income, bank account number, or other financial information. 9. Ask for PINs or passwords. 10. Ask for a donation or money. About “Nonresponse Follow-up” (NRFU) Operations From May 1 until mid-July 2010, census takers will visit households that did not mail back their 2010 Census forms in by mid-April. Census takers will visit each address up to three times and may try to telephone up to three times. If a resident does not answer, the census taker will leave a door hanger with a number the resident can call to schedule an interview time. If contact is made by phone, the census worker will conduct the interview with the household member. For more information, visit 2010census.gov.
About the 2010 Census The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution to be conducted every 10 years. Census data are used to apportion congressional seats to states; to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to local, state, and tribal governments each year; and to make decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census form will be one of the shortest in U.S. history and consists of just 10 questions, taking about 10 minutes to complete. Strict confidentiality laws protect the respondents and the information they provide.
Unfortunately, approximately 15 percent of people awaiting SSDI report raiding their retirement savings. Additionally, 17 percent are relying on their credit cards and 7 percent on home equity lines of credit to meet financial needs until they receive their SSDI benefits, according to the Allsup Disability Finance online poll. The poll was conducted online this spring with 138 respondents.
* Pursue income sources, including SSDI. If you have paid into the Social Security Disability Insurance program, you may be eligible for benefits. If you are eligible, it's essential to apply quickly as it can take up to two years or more to be approved. Gada advises seeking help with your SSDI application to speed the process. For example, people with disabilities represented by Allsup are significantly more likely to receive SSDI benefits at the initial level.
* Contact your mortgage company or landlord. As part of this, identify housing assistance programs. For example, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has programs to assist with mortgage modifications, as well as rental assistance that can lower housing costs drastically. However, there are waiting lists, so it's important to sign up as soon as possible.
"It's heartbreaking to hear of people with serious illnesses and disabilities unable to work and struggling month after month to pay for food or medical costs until they're financially wiped out," says Gada. "It shouldn't be that way. There are steps people can take, but they need to ask for help and know how to get it."

A penny saved is a penny earned…
by Linda Beck email: lindainthecards@gmail.com
and other financial lessons from the past Submitted by Jennifer Myers
MAKING A COMMITMENT TO SOMETHING GREATER
If the recent financial turmoil has taught us anything, it’s that maybe we should pay attention to the age-old clichés that our parents and grandparents passed on to us.
As adults, we all know what a commitment is. Sometimes our first major commitment was made at the altar on our wedding day. Then children came along and we really found ourselves committed for life.
Take it one day at a time…the new reality for most Americans when it comes to financial recovery.
I noticed a billboard of some soldiers with the logo, “Committed to something greater than themselves.” I think they were Marines but that is one negative factor about driving; you can’t read roadside signs as well as when you are a passenger.
You get the idea. So keeping the “what’s old is new again” mantra in mind, here are some famous clichés from generations before that could serve us well in 2010.
Obviously, their commitment is to freedom for our country. We may not be committed to military service, but have you ever committed yourself to keeping our highways clean? Have you committed to paying taxes, perhaps even without grumbling? Have you committed to exercising your right to vote? Do you ever step forward and point out trouble spots in your community? That is not always the most popular thing to do. I know there have been times when I’ve been considered a grouch, but I prefer to consider myself the “squeaky wheel that gets greased.” One of our presidents once said “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.” Are you committed to standing up for what is right? Just before writing this, I came across a quote that goes like this: “Anyone that kneels before God can stand before anyone.” I believe everyone who knows me is aware that I cannot physically “kneel” before God, but He knows my heart when I tell others about all He has done for me. I could keep asking questions, but I should move on to what really attracted me to this slogan. What I am committed to that is greater than myself, is my covenant to tell others about Christ. There was a period in my life when my motto was not to discuss politics or religion. I have to admit that I still prefer not to talk about politics. The biggest problem I’ve had in discussing religion is that some of my favorite scripture has fit the platform of various articles. I fear there are times when folks think they have read a story somewhere else. It is not normal for me to print a particular story in more than one place. There was a comment on the internet that a reader had read “that story” before. He had…but it was a fluke of publishing, not my error. But I have a page long listing of some of my favorite scriptures that I would share here except for space. I have passed copies of the list a lot of places where I speak. Have any of those recipients opened their Bible to check out those scriptures? My speaking/writing ministry has helped me “sow the seed.” God’s word, whether in the Bible, through a televangelist, or in Christian books can provide the sunshine and rain, but the Holy Spirit will reap the harvest.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket…a poster child for diversification.
the standard financial protection that we always took for granted. If you terminated your life insurance policy, now is the time to begin shopping around for a new one. It’s hard to think about, but if something happened to you would your family be able to maintain their current lifestyle? Could they stay in the house so the kids would not have to move and switch schools? The time to protect your family is now. And, you know what they say, never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. 5.) Home is where the heart is. It’s also where most of your equity probably is too.

Americans may be the most medicated people in the world, say statistics. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug daily, while one in six take 3 or more. That means trips to the pharmacy are commonplace and individuals need to get the facts before they drop off their next prescription.
Hospice . . . It’s not about giving up hope. It’s about letting HOPE in for support when you need it most.
* Over-the-counter medications may be adequate: Oftentimes prescription drugs are just a higher dosage of an over-thecounter product. For example, a prescription-strength painkiller may be 500 mg, while an OTC pill is 200 mg. You may be able to simply take more of an OTC and save on prescription costs. Just check with the pharmacist for substitutions.

* Pharmacists know more about medications than your doctor. If you have a question about a medication, it is probably better to consult with your pharmacist. Your pharmacist has spent more time studying drugs than your doctor has and must hold a doctorate in pharmacy or a bachelor's degree in pharmacology if they received their degree prior to 2004. * Talk to your pharmacist. The pharmacist is required by law to counsel his or her customers. If a pharmacist seems too busy to talk, take your business elsewhere. Also, it's wise to ask about prescriptions, considering half of the prescriptions taken in the U.S. are used improperly.
Don't just rely on the medication print-out; ask in person to double-check that you're getting the right prescription. * Some drugs get extra scrutiny. Prescriptions for pain killers as well as sleeping pills are often examined more carefully than other prescriptions. As a result, it's harder to be approved for extra refills, regardless of how much you think you need more. * Handwriting woes. A doctor's handwriting is not just a mystery to the layperson. Sometimes pharmacists have trouble decoding the scribble, too. Electronic prescriptions can reduce errors, but few doctors use this method of prescribing medication. * Speed up your time at the pharmacy. Monday and Tuesday evenings tend to be the busiest for pharmacies because people tend to drop off prescriptions over the weekend. Also, drivethrough windows are convenient for customers, but not necessarily the pharmacist. They can get distracted, and that doesn't bode well when concentration is needed to properly fill your script. * Not all generic drugs are the same. Generics can save money and are very close to original formulas. But subtle differences between different brands of generics and the original medication can cause different reactions in the body. For blood thinners and thyroid drugs, for instance, you may want to stick with the name brand.

* Travel perks. Many seniors love to travel, and can even do so at heavily discounted prices. Larger hotel chains often offer seniors discounts as high as 10 percent. Unfortunately, many U.S. domestic airlines, facing higher fuel prices and dwindling business due the global economic downturn, ceased offering senior discounts in 2009. However, certain airlines, including Southwest Airlines, still offer discounted rates to seniors. These discounts can be as much as 10 percent. It's also common for car rental agencies to offer senior discounts. * Transportation. Many communities provide heavily discounted, if not free, rates to seniors for public transportation. Consult with your local govern-
ment to determine if you qualify for senior discounts. * Food. Grocery stores commonly offer discounts to older customers, and many times you don't even need to be a senior citizen to qualify. In general, chains offer senior discounts, including special days for seniors to shop, to anyone over the age of 55. Restaurants are also known to offer senior discounts, and often these discounts extend beyond "early bird special" discounts of yesteryear. While early bird specials still exist, many chain restaurants offer discounted prices to seniors regardless of time of day. In many cases, these discounts aren't listed on the menu, but it never hurts, and typically saves, to ask. * Arts and culture. Seniors looking to spend a day or night on the town and take in some culture can typically do so at a discounted rate. Museums and National Parks typically offer discounted admission to seniors, as do movie theaters and even some concert halls.

Georgetta's Sliders Serves four Ingredients: 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 pinch paprika 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck 1 tablespoon Big House Red wine 12 3-inch dinner rolls 2 yellow onions 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bunch watercress 1 bunch radicchio Caramelized onions (saute sliced onions in olive oil slowly to caramelize) Directions: In a medium bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, garlic, pepper, salt, wine and beef. Shape into 12 small 3-inch round, 1/2-inch thick mini-patties. Grill until browned, three to four minutes per side. Heat or grill dinner rolls tops until slightly toasted; put the bottom bun on top of the grilling onions to absorb the flavorful steam. On bottom of each roll, place the grilled patty first, followed by the grilled onions, watercress and radicchio. Cap with the dinner roll top.
Backyard grilling: Sliding into summer with savory sliders (ARA) - The backyard barbecue grilling season is in full swing and hamburgers continue to reign supreme as one of America's favorite grilled foods. Whether you cook with gas or charcoal, nothing beats the flavor of a juicy burger right off the grill. And, whether you're into bold flavors or basic toppings, nothing tops off a burger better than a great glass of wine. While many backyard cooks have mastered the art of grilling a full-size burger, most shy away from the smaller version known as the "slider." Wildly popular in restaurants throughout the country, these bite-sized burgers are a snap to prepare on the grill and pair perfectly with a great tasting glass of red wine. And, by dishing out sliders, you use less meat (which helps you save) and keep your family happy. The origin of the slider is attributed to real estate and insurance agent Edgar Waldo "Billy" Ingram who teamed up with cook Walter Anderson to open the
first White Castle hamburger stand in Wichita, Kan., in 1921. The restaurant served up patties of ground meat cooked on a griddle, plenty of diced onions, a pickle slice and served on a soft yeast bun. In those days, serving a burger with wine was unheard of but fortunately, those days are behind us. "The right wine works like a spice, helping to enhance the flavors of your grilled food," says Georgetta Dane, winemaker for the popular and well acclaimed Big House wines. Big House (so named because it is made near Soledad Prison in Monterey County, California) is a quirky but delicious blend of 21 Italian and French varietals such as Sangiovese, Syrah and Grenache. "It's ripe and fruity with good structure," says Sam Gugino, contributing editor to Wine Spectator magazine, chef, restaurateur and cookbook author. "It's a favorite summer sipper for me and it pairs very well with burgers, steaks and lamb chops."
"Paprika is one of my favorite spices. I use just a pinch along with a tablespoon of Big House Red to really make the flavors come together," notes Georgetta. "I serve these along with the 2008 Big House Red in the 3-liter Octavin Home Wine Bar cask. The wine pairs very well with the sliders and allows my guests to easily serve themselves. The new package guarantees freshness for at least six weeks once opened." For summer entertaining, Georgetta's Sliders are easy to prepare, full of flavor and a real crowd pleaser. Pair them with red wine and you have the ultimate worry-free barbecue. For more information on Big House and Octavin Home Wine Bar wines, go to www.octavinhomewinebar.com.

Myths about the aging brain revealed (ARA) - Who says you can't teach a mind new tricks at any age? Recent research shows that Americans have the power to positively influence their brain function throughout life - an important realization that is especially relevant for the more than 78 million baby boomers in the United States. Brain health is one of the top health-related concerns of aging populations and has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control as a public health priority.
A decade ago, many experts would have scoffed at the idea that the brains of adults, particularly older adults, could grow or develop in any significant way. But that has changed. Research increasingly suggests that each time a new skill is learned, such as playing an instrument, speaking a foreign language or even dancing, new pathways are formed and areas of the brain may grow, even well into the later years. Physical and mental exercise can alter specific brain regions, improv"The fear of memory loss and los- ing in cognitive function.

that mild forgetfulness must be a sign of Alzheimer's disease. But most people are worrying needlessly research shows that more than 80 percent of people will never get Alzheimer's disease. Some experts now believe that it is time to redefine everyone's understanding of agerelated memory loss and dementia. Emerging research indicates that many people experiencing memory loss and dementia actually have mixed pathologies in their brains. In fact, very few senior citizens have "pure Alzheimer's disease." Instead, late-life cognitive impairment may in fact be a result of multiple "hits" to the brain, from a variety of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, chronic stress, head trauma and poor diet. The good news? There is the opportunity to influence brain health and function by incorporating lifestyle factors like exercise, a healthy diet, stress reduction and intellectual and social engagement. Regardless of family
history, the choices a person makes in life may be able to slow the progression of age-related cognitive decline or help prevent it altogether. 4. Brightest equals youngest. Today's society does place an emphasis on age but, keep in mind, people over 65 rule the country. The majority of legislators, CEOs, doctors, lawyers, judges, economists and CEOs are not in their 30s or 40s, but seasoned veterans who bestow several decades of experience and expertise. Along with gray hairs come both knowledge and wisdom and you do not have to look far to find inspiring stories of accomplishment, creativity and reinvention in the second half of life. To see some inspiring profiles of aging and learn more about the actions you can take to ensure that you build and maintain a mind that is healthy and beautiful for an entire lifetime, go to beautifulminds.com.

Phony calls aren’t really from Medicare, warns AG Cooper Don’t fall for a new telephone scam that tries to get Medicare recipients to give up their personal financial information, Attorney General Roy Cooper warned last week. “Scammers keep coming up with new ways to trick you into sharing your personal financial information,” Cooper said, “Don’t fall for it, even if the calls claim to be from a government agency or company you know.” Some North Carolina consumers report getting calls that claim to come from Medicare, asking for personal financial information such as their checking account number. The calls show up on consumers’ caller ID as coming from 1866-234-2255, which is a legitimate Medicare office telephone number. When consumers call the number back, they now get a message that says that scammers have spoofed the number and consumers should report the call to their state attorney general or federal authorities. Spoofing occurs when scammers make it appear that their calls or emails come from a legitimate telephone number or email account. Approximately 20 North Carolinians have contacted Cooper’s Consumer Protection Division to report this scam over the past couple of weeks. Similar fraudulent calls have also been reported in other states. Cooper offered the following tips to help consumers avoid falling victim to scams like this one:
• Never share personal financial information with someone you don’t know who calls you, emails you or comes to your home uninvited. • Government agencies and businesses will not call you or email you to ask for your financial information. If you get such a call from an agency or company with which you do business, hang up and call the organization back at a telephone number you know to be legitimate, such as a number listed on a recent account statement or in the phone book. • Keep in mind that caller ID can be manipulated to show different telephone numbers. Never assume that it’s okay to give out personal information because the call appears to come from a valid number. • Remember that emails that appear to come from an official email address can also be fakes, even if they provide links to what looks like the company’s or agency’s real website. Don’t respond to the email or click on any links. Cooper urged consumers who may have fallen victim to this or other scams to act quickly to minimize any damage. “Contact your bank and credit card company immediately if you’ve shared your account numbers with someone who may be a scammer,” Cooper said. “There are also simple steps you can take to help minimize your risk and protect your identity, such as putting a free security freeze on your credit reports.” To report a scam or get more tips and identity theft help from the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division, visit www.ncdoj.gov or call 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll free within North Carolina.

Medigap Updates go into Effect in June
Have you heard about changes to Medigap (also known as Medicare supplement) coverage? Wondering if the changes will affect on your current Medigap policy? Medigap policies are private insurance policies sold by insurance companies through licensed agents. Beginning January 1992, Medigap policies became standardized, and there are no differences in the standardized plans among insurance carriers. Medigap policies are regulated by the state and must also comply with federal rules. Prior to June 1, 2010, there were 12 different standardized Medigap plans available that were identified by characters A through L (plus a High Deductible version of Plans F and J). In July 2008, Congress passed The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) which authorized states to implement recommendations from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to update the Medicare Supplement model effective June 1, 2010. The changes effective June 1, 2010 include: • A Hospice benefit is being added as a basic benefit to all plans sold. This benefit will cover cost-sharing for all Part A eligible hospice and respite care expenses. This new benefit will not be added to policies issued prior to June 1, 2010.
• Medigap plans E, H, I, J, and the High Deductible version of Plan J will no longer be available to purchase after May 31, 2010. People who purchased these policies prior to June 1, 2010, can keep them as the plans are guaranteed renewable for as long as premium continues to be paid. • Two new plans, Plan M and Plan N, are being added. These plans have a higher costsharing (deductibles, co-payments) but are expected to have a lower premium cost. If you are currently covered under a Medigap policy issued before June 1, 2010, do you have to obtain one of the new 2010 standardized policies? No, you do not as your policy is guaranteed renewable as long as you pay your premium. However, if you would like to apply for a new 2010 standardized policy, you can do so but a company is not required to issue one to you. Your current company may offer you an opportunity to exchange your existing policy for a new 2010 standardized policy, but they are not required by law to make this offer. Should you have questions concerning Medigap or any other Medicare product, please call the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) at 1-800-4439354. Counselors are available to assist you Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

An interesting study from the University of Warwick Medical School found that middle- aged and older adults with high levels of vitamin D could reduce their chances of developing heart disease or diabetes by a whopping 43 percent. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and is also produced when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are good sources of vitamin D, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. Researchers looked at 28 studies including 99,745 participants across a variety of ethnic groups including men and women. These studies revealed a significant association between high levels of vitamin D and a decreased risk of developing the three disorders: • Cardiovascular disease (33 percent compared to low levels of vitamin D), • Type 2 diabetes (55 percent reduction) and • Metabolic syndrome (51 percent reduction). The literature review, published in the journal Maturitas, was led by Johanna Parker and Dr Oscar Franco, Assistant Professor in Public Health at Warwick Medical School.

PARADE CAPS FAITH FOURTH
Moped stop nets drug charges 1 rider arrested, police still searching for another Salisbury Police Department officers found 60 grams of marijuana and more than $500 in the possession of a man who was stopped for recklessly riding a moped early Saturday. Geoffrey Kevin Robeson, Jr., 24, of 1780 Old Union Church Road Apt. A, has been charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana and resist, obstruct and delay. The street value of the marijuana is estimated at ROBESON $200. Salisbury Police Officer R. Gaither executed a traffic stop after observing two men riding erratically near the intersection of Monroe and Partee streets at approximately 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Robeson stopped immediately, but left his scooter in an attempt to flee on foot. Officer J.R. Cable, who assisted Gaither at the scene, chased Robeson down and took him into custody. The second moped rider led Gaither on a slow-speed pursuit through numerous streets in the western section of the city. The man eventually jumped off the vehicle and fled on foot into a wooded area, where officers attempted to track him with a canine. Police are still searching for the second rider and are continuing to investigate the man’s identity. Salisbury Police say the moped operated by the second man was reported stolen on June 25.

An estimated 30,000 people were on hand to view the 2010 annual Faith Fourth parade.
Celebrating traditions along with new beginnings BY HUGH FISHER
hfisher@salisburypost.com
FAITH — The Faith Fourth of July parade rolled down Main Street on Monday, capping a long Independence Day weekend with a beloved tradition. The parade itself may have changed in some ways. This year, instead of a military flyover, a small private plane dropped marshmallows on the crowd. Instead of a bevy of fire engines at the front, the trucks appeared throughout the group. But what stayed the same is the freedom that July Fourth represents, and that the parade draws people to celebrate. “With the economic situation and everything that’s going on, it’s nice to see everybody having fun and celebrating the birthday of our country,” Cornerstone Church lead
pastor Bill Godair said. He and members of his congregation rode a float in the parade, which Godair represented not only freedom but the diversity of Rowan County and his congregation. One member of Cornerstone, Mitzie Ketner, dressed as the Statue of Liberty. Asked what she hoped people would take away from the parade, she said right away: “Freedom isn’t free.” But, she said, riding in the parade wasn’t about her. “It’s about giving God and country the glory,” Ketner said. Love of country and family drew Jamie McDonald of Statesville to bring her family all the way to Faith for the parade. They arrived late, and had to set up near the end of the route. The good news? Her nieces and nephews, among other
Lacey Waggoner waves from the sunroof of a car. kids, got the candy left over from the floats that had some to spare. “It’s a nice parade, and a nice town,” McDonald said. The usual cadre of entries — churches, local businesses, marching bands — all took
part. For Stephen Condrey, who runs Master Condrey’s Martial Arts, bringing a group of students to demonstrate techniques in the parade is more than a business move. “It’s a chance to inspire
others,” Condrey said. His students’ roundhouse kicks and punches could get young and old interested in improving and defending themselves.

They can just come here!” The crowd cheered Barger just like they’d clapped, whistled and hollered for the finalists in the 2010 Faith Idol singing competition. The competition began Thursday night on the stage in Faith Legion Park with 36 amateur singers. Monday night, in front of a crowd of hundreds that overflowed the tent onto the yard beyond, the 11 kids and adults who’d made it to the last stage sang their hearts out for the judges. The winner in the 12-andunder category was Nicole

Santa Lucia, one of three competitors in that group alongside Faith Dentor and Nicole’s sister, Natalie. Just as Nicole got ready to go into the last chorus of the Martina McBride hit “Independence Day,” the music she was singing along to cut out. There was near-silence in the tent for several seconds. The sound didn’t come back on. Then Nicole started singing again, a capella, in perfect time and on key. The crowd went wild. “There were a lot of things going through my mind,” Nicole said after her performance. But she said she remembered her dad’s advice: “If something ever goes wrong on stage, just keep going.” Nicole and Natalie are 12year-old identical twins.

UNC-TV agrees to release info from unaired show on Alcoa RALEIGH (AP) — North Carolina’s public television network has turned over to state lawmakers material from its yet-to-be-aired documentary on Alcoa Inc. WRAL-TV reports UNCTV lawyers decided not to fight a subpoena from a Senate judiciary committee because it is a public agency and may not fall under North Carolina’s 1999 press shield law protecting reporters from revealing information that hasn’t been printed or broadcast. State Sen. Fletcher Hartsell says lawmakers need the information quickly so they can decide what to do about Alcoa’s hydroelectric dams before the Legislature adjourns. Alcoa is trying to renew a 1958 federal license to operate the dams, which powered an aluminum plant. The plant is closed, but Alcoa receives millions of dollars selling the electricity.

Evans said the boat’s operators reported that they collided with rocks at Devil’s Back Ledge while traveling at about 18 knots. The boat was listing heavily toward its bow Saturday afternoon and its back end had lifted out of the water, he said. “It’s a pretty serious accident,” Evans said. “Once it goes down, it would be a total loss, I believe. ... They’re trying to save it.” Passengers described a loud noise and a sudden jolt that snapped the legs on plastic deck chairs and sent people sprawling. “We were physically thrown forward,” Maria Patane of Yonkers, N.Y., told The Boston Globe. “Kids were crying, people screaming.

Correction The following statement from the story “EDC: Funds don’t keep pace with workloads,” in Sunday’s Post is incorrect: “But, total funding for economic development, when you combine all entities, is down $100,000. The tax base has grown, but our actual funding has decreased since last year.” Although the tax base of the municipalities within Rowan County and the county itself have grown, funding for the EDC in FY 2009-10 was reduced $11,836. This year, the EDC will generate more revenue — $37,297 — for the first time since FY 2004-05 with the Rowan County Commissioners agreeing to significant additional funding. China Grove and Landis also have increased their contributions and Kannapolis rejoined. • The information box “Where EDC funding comes from” that accompanied the story incorrectly listed Salisbury’s current funding.

BOSTON (AP) — A tour boat headed on a whale watch with 174 people on board was evacuated Saturday after it ran aground on a rocky ledge in Boston Harbor and began taking on water. No one was seriously hurt in the accident, which was reported at about 10 a.m. off Deer Island. The Coast Guard said two people suffered back and knee injuries. Authorities said a combination of Coast Guard vessels, local emergency vessels and nearby fishing boats helped evacuate the 87-foot vessel Massachusetts, and by early afternoon, everyone was safely off the boat. Passengers were taken to a pier in Hull, about 3 miles from the disabled boat, said Coast Guard Petty Officer Connie Terrell. Meanwhile, workers on board the Massachusetts tried to pump out the sinking vessel, while divers attempted to patch the gash in the hull, said Winthrop Deputy Harbormaster Chuck Evans, who was at the scene.

Burnham, 20, gave his fellow singer Alec said he works full time but loves to sing songs that make people want to dance. “If it gets my nieces and nephews jumping in the living room, it’s the song for me,” Burnham said.

Their parents, Joel and Jo Ann, Santa Lucia of Denton, say the girls have been singing since they turned 3. “They support each other 100 percent,” Jo Ann said. Alec Thomas of Salisbury was the winner in the 13-to-18 age group. He performed Bon Jovi’s “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.” Thomas, 14, said he chose the song because it appeals to everyone. “It’s both country and rock,” he said, and felt the song itself was inspiring. Alex Yost won in the 19and-over group with his performance of the inspirational song “You Raise Me Up.” “It’s great. I’m speechless,” Yost said after his win. Each of the three winners received a check for $500. Yost said his winnings will help pay for college. “I’ll need it,” he said. And the Santa Lucia family said the prize money will help them plan a trip to New York to visit their relatives. But, the girls were quick to add, there’s also going to be a trip to Carowinds to celebrate their win. During the break between the end of the performances and the announcement of the winners, the audience debated who they’d like to see win. “I’m pulling for Alex,” Andrea Baker, 17, said before the judges’ decisions

Escaping the heat by bicycle
Flying high at 95
O
Kannapolis woman takes to the skies for a parasailing adventure BY SUSAN SHINN
For The Salisbury Post
Lib Lambert had wanted to go parasailing for a long time. “I’d say something about it to my family and they ignored it,” Lib says. After her 95th birthday in May, they started making plans. On June 19, Lib went parasailing at Marlin Quay Marina in Garden City, S.C., just south of Myrtle Beach. Some 40 family members joined her for the occasion. “She promised those guys she’d be back in five years,” says daughter Carolyn O’Kelley of China Grove. Lib, who retired from Fieldcrest Cannon, has another daughter, Betty Williams of Kannapolis, her next-door neighbor. Her son is the late Sonny Lambert. She has nine grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and six great-greatgrandchildren. Granddaughter Susan Kimball got Lib a hot pink T-shirt from the marina, and painted on it “Flying High at 95.”
She still is. It’s exciting just to watch the DVD of pictures and videos prepared by granddaughter Gina Wirz’s husband John. There’s Lib, being helped aboard the boat by her grandsons. There she is, putting on a harness. There she is, sitting beside grandson David Lambert on the rear platform. And there they are, taking off into the air! Lib’s feet never touched the water, so she didn’t even wear a swimsuit. “I had pedal pushers on,” she says modestly. “She was so cute,” Carolyn says. “She loved it. She had a ball.” Lib had only one concern. She was worried she couldn’t get her legs straightened out for the takeoff and landing. But she did. Otherwise, she says, “I wasn’t a bit nervous. I had my grandsons around me and I felt they were going to protect me.”

Smart Start Rowan places a focus on obesity in early childhood Smart Start Rowan
Fewer Rowan children, ages 2 to 4, are overweight or obese than in 2002. That’s the good news. The bad news is that more than 26 percent still are either overweight or obese, according to the N.C. Nutrition and Physical Activity Surveillance System (NC-NPASS). NCNPASS includes data on children in WIC, a supplemental nutrition program for women, infants and children, as well as child health clinics and some school based health centers. In 2002, almost 34 percent of Rowan children 2 to 4 years old were overweight or obese, a figure that dropped to 27 percent in 2007. It’s an improvement, but we have a long way to go before our county’s childhood weight concerns are solved. Obesity is a serious health concern not just for Rowan children, but for all North Carolina children. The state rate of overweight and obese 2 to 4-year-olds was 31.7 percent in 2008, an increase from 27.7 percent in 2002. North Carolina percentages are the fifth highest in the nation in childhood obesity Rowan Countians saw that childhood obesity was going to be a problem in 1999, according to Amy Smith, county health education specialist
4A
and wellness coordinator. “But we didn’t know it was going to be this big an issue,” she said. That year, a group of agencies created the Rowan Partnership for Community Health to address health issues in the county. The collaboration includes the health department, YMCA, Rowan-Salisbury Schools, Cooperative Extension, Rowan Regional Medical Center, Parks and Recreation and more. “We’re trying to reach kids as young as we can to adopt a healthier lifestyle,” Smith said. “A lot of families are not aware that being obese might impact a child’s lifespan.” The Journal of the American Medical Association says that obese children are almost six times more likely than children with healthy weights to have an impaired quality of life — equal to that of children undergoing treatment for cancer. Leonard Wood, director of the Rowan County Health Department, sees dire ramifications for individuals if obesity is not reduced. “If we continue to consume more calories than we burn, we are faced with higher health care costs, premature deaths, a lifetime of chronic diseases, poor health, poor quality of life and dependency on prescription drugs,” said Wood. “Today’s generation of children
and adolescents may experience disability and death at an age earlier than our parents and grandparents, reversing a longstanding pattern of general improvement in health, productivity and quality of life.” Weight issues have been proven to follow children from pre-school into adulthood. One national study found that approximately 80 percent of children who were overweight at ages 10 to 15 were obese adults at age 25; another study found that 25 percent of obese adults were overweight as children. The latter study also found that if overweight begins before age 8, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. Donna Ryan, president of the Obesity Society, a group of weight-management researchers and professionals, says it’s crucial to address the problem early. “If you can get kids into healthier eating habits when they are younger, their weight may self-correct.” But once they become obese adults, it’s difficult to reverse, she says. “Pediatricians are now treating a lot of conditions they didn’t use to treat because those conditions were prevalent only in older people,” Smith adds. “They’re now having to step back and treat younger children for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.”
Nutritionists say the weight issue is two-fold — too many calories and too little exercise. For a person to maintain a healthy weight, the calories consumed from food and beverages must be balanced against the calories used through physical activity and, for children, normal growth. The convenience of fast food has added to our national diet disaster. Americans are always in a hurry, and driving through for dinner is a handiness we’ve become accustomed it. But the low cost of convenience food may be an even bigger problem for low-income families. Low-income families often consume lower-cost foods because they have higher levels of calories per dollar. Families are sacrificing food quality for food quantity to stretch limited resources. It may be cheap to purchase fast food, but it’s even cheaper to supersize fast food meals. “For just 10 cents more, we can biggie-size a drink. Look at the calories — they’re empty calories,” Smith said. “People used to think that diet drinks were the answer, but studies now question whether artificial sweeteners make you crave sweets. In schools, we have to get kids to stay with milk and water with some natural fruit juices, not soft drinks.”

ne recent Saturday, a friend and I needed to find a place to try out her new bike. Since the temperatures were projected to be in the mid to upper 90s here, it seemed like a great time to go to the mountains. As far as I know, there are few mountain locations to ride that are flat, scenic and have plenty to keep DAVID you busy when FREEZE off the bike. A place that I had ridden before seemed perfect for an adventure. We took Interstate 77 north to Highway 421 and headed toward Boone. A few miles short of Boone, Highway 221 turns off heading north along the New River Basin. The New River is one of the oldest rivers on earth, and a portion of it flows from Todd to Fleetwood. It is a perfect 10-mile distance, all nearly flat on a narrow paved road that replaced a portion of the Virginia Carolina Railroad Line. It is called the Railroad Grade Road. We started near Fleetwood, which is a sleepy little town with not much more than a church, a post office, several homes and close proximity to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Railroad Grade Road has quite a bit to see besides the river, which is beautiful and tranquil in itself. The remains of old bridges, beautiful resort homes, old homeplaces beautifully restored and acre upon acre of Christmas trees provide plenty of scenery. The temperatures had climbed to the upper 70s by late morning as we rode toward Todd, is an old railroad town, still full of history and plenty to do. Todd was originally settled in the late 1700s and had a boom in the early 1900s as a lumber mill town. Todd was bigger than Boone at one time. I had a wonderful grilled portobello mushroom sandwich and a brownie from the grill inside the Todd General Store, one of the oldest continually operating general stores in North Carolina. Dining on the back porch while looking up a mountain was fun too. There was a bakery just a short distance away, and to my satisfaction there were a couple more brownies that needed to be sampled. Our visit was highlighted by a bluegrass concert in the town park early that afternoon. All the while tubes and kayaks were being launched into the river near the bridge on One Big Hill Road. Todd is a great place to people watch, and lots of bicycle riders were entering and leaving while we enjoyed the town. One curious oddity is that nearly every building had stamped decorative tin as siding. Soon it was time to ride back to the car. We rode along the narrow road, which is sometimes not really wide enough for cars meeting each other. Bikes have priority, and everyone seemed to be casually enjoying their rides. Fly fishing was another attraction for the area. In fact, an occasional trout was easy to spot in the clear river water. Fun for me was watching all the hay being baled in narrow strips on both sides of the river. The same tractor seemed to be working his way upriver as he baled several miles of round bales on a beautiful afternoon. Upon arriving back at the car, we sat by the river and found it very easy to relax. Mid 80s were easy to take after the searing heat of Rowan County for the past few weeks. A good breeze blew all day. The Railroad Grade Road is a perfect place for bike riders of all abilities. Experienced riders can do time trials in a picturesque setting. Others can just enjoy the casual ride, along with all there is to do in a beautiful river valley. Make sure you sample the brownies in Todd and let me know what you think. • • • David Freeze lives in Rowan County.

BRIEFS City gives workers option of a 4-day work week WINSTON-SALEM (AP) — Officials in one North Carolina city are offering to let their employees work four days a week as long as it doesn’t affect city services. The Winston-Salem Journal reports that WinstonSalem officials made the offer to city employees after passing a budget that offers no raises for the second straight year. The employees would work 10-hour days. Department heads and City Manager Lee Garrity will have to approve the request to work four days, and city services will have to stay the same.

The researchers told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the chloride in ocean salt sticks to the more dangerous form of mercury, known as methyl mercury, in a way that makes it harder for sunlight to break down the metal. The scientists found it took at least 10 times longer to break down the mercury in salt water than in fresh water.
FLYING FROM 4A A few family members went along in the boat, while others watched from shore. Eleven family members rode alongside in a boat piloted by Ray McKenney, owner of McKenney Chevrolet and Cadillac in Gastonia. He heard about Lib’s feat and offered his boat. Carolyn, who gets seasick, watched from shore. “People asked me why I would let her do it, but at 95, she can do anything she wants to,” she says. “It was an exciting experience and she was happy.” Lib only has one small disappointment about the experience. “They said to look down and find fish,” she says. “There wasn’t any fish down there.” Still, Lib had quite a view. “I could see my family standing on the platform and
OBESITY FROM 4A Members of the N.C. House of Representatives agree. House Bill 1726 would require child care programs to provide reduced fat milk (skim or 1 percent), no more than four to six ounces of juice per day and no sugarsweetened beverages. A Senate bill, if passed, would require all children receiving Medicaid or participating in the Health Choice for Children Program to undergo BMI screening. The legislation comes from recommendations from the General Assembly’s Task Force on Childhood Obesity. Smith works with the schools to fight obesity by training teachers to integrate nutrition and physical activity into the required standard course of study. “We’re not asking teachers to find extra time, we’re showing them how to use nutrition and science in their current lesson plans. We’ve made an impact there. We can see that teachers are buying into the idea,” she explained. Millbridge Elementary School is a success story in the fight against obesity. Through a collaborative effort that also includes N.C. State University, the school has created a garden as an outside classroom. “It’s the first time for this in our county. Students have learned about fruits and vegetables by taking responsibility for the garden,” Smith said. “They’re learning why fruits and vegetables are so important. They’re growing an orchard and currently

KANNAPOLIS — Ralph Theodore Fish, age 78, a resident of Britthaven of Charlotte and formerly of Kannapolis, died Sunday, July 4, 2010, at the facility. Born March 5, 1932, in the Paw Creek Community of Mecklenburg County, he was the son of the late William Robert Fish and Blanche Deal Fish. A veteran of the United States Air Force, he was retired from Cannon Mills. He was a member of First Reformed Church of Landis. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a sister, Sue Chapman; and three brothers, Buford Fish, Tom Fish and Bobby Fish. Survivors include his wife, Joyce Freeman Fish; a daughter, Carolyn Fish of Cornelius; son, Randy Fish of Salisbury; one sister, Nancy Hunter of Kannapolis; and two grandchildren, Randy Fish, Jr. and Jessica Fish. Service: A graveside service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Carolina Memorial Park. The Rev. David Franks will officiate. Memorials: Memorials may be sent to Alzheimer's Association, Western Carolina Chapter, 3800 Shamrock Drive, Charlotte, NC 282153220. Lady's Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

I waved at ‘em,” she says. The captain also offered to “dip” her in the air, to which she said, “No, thank you.” Those 12 minutes she spent in the air were just like flying, says Lib, who’s never flown in an airplane. When she landed, she says, “I felt real good. I did pretty good. My family was excited. The boat captain even said I could go again when I was 100.” She laughs. “If I live to be 100 and feel like I do now, I will.” Parasailing aside, Lib admits she’s not much of a daredevil. “This is pretty near it,” she says. Well ... what about motorcycle riding? Has she ever done that? “I dare somebody to ask me to ride on a motorcycle,” Lib says, a mischievous gleam in her eye. • • • Freelance writer Susan Shinn lives in Salisbury.
have peaches developing.” And taking it a step further, the school has created a compost bin where cafeteria workers dump appropriate refuse for compost. While overeating and eating the wrong foods contribute to weight gain, lack of activity is another significant factor. As a society, Americans have become sedentary, with children watching more television and playing electronic games as opposed to playing outside like earlier generations. The Partnership for Community Health has written grants for different schools for “anything that involves moving,” Smith said, including one grant for sidewalks. Parents also are included in the education process with newsletters and materials that go home with the student. “We’re encouraging movement for the whole family.” Smith hopes Michelle Obama’s focus on childhood obesity will help turn around our nation’s health issues. “It always helps when someone in the limelight focuses efforts.” “Health insurance companies and public insurers must require recipients to adopt a healthier lifestyle or take on a greater financial responsibility for their health care costs,” Wood said. “Our health care system does not offer incentives to stop our bad habits: overeating, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse and other detrimental personal choices that impact our health. “Poor diet and physical inactivity will soon overtake tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States.”

Cops: Person of interest sought in track death HARRELLS (AP) — Investigators say they have someone they want to talk to about the shooting death of another man at a rural North Carolina racetrack. Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton told multiple media outlets he was not ready to release the name of the person of interest. Authorities say 29-yearold Timothy McKoy of Garland was gunned down after an argument Sunday in the parking lot of Harrells Raceway. Thornton says the drag races scheduled for Sunday night were canceled after the shooting. The sheriff says his deputies don’t answer a lot of calls at the track, but he asked the owner Monday to beef up security. The raceway is privately owned and isn’t sanctioned by the International Hot Rod Association or regulated by the state.
Bodybuilding champ charged with killing husband MOYOCK (AP) — Authorities say a North Carolina man having marital problems was killed by his bodybuilding wife in their Currituck County home. Deputies told The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., that 38-year-old Lateisha Jandreau was arrested Saturday by officers with a search warrant after they found her 51-year-old husband’s body hidden in the couple’s garage. Mike Jandreau says his brother Paul told him he was having problems with his wife, but wasn’t scared. The two had been married for about eight years after meeting in a kickboxing class and Lateisha Jandreau won a state bodybuilding championship last month. Jandreau is charged with first-degree murder and is being held at the Currituck County jail without bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if she had an attorney.
dom, drive-by shooting. They unloaded some high-powered stuff into my house,” Smith told The News & Record of Greensboro. Rockingham County deputies said at least two shooters fired about 30 rounds into Smith’s home, knocking out windows, damaging the siding and scattering debris around the rental house on U.S. 220 Business. Smith said it was more like 50 or 60 bullets.
“It’s amazing that no one was shot,” sheriff’s spokesman Dean Venable said “The house was riddled.” Smith thinks the shooters were angry with his older son and wanted to send him a message. Leon Michael Smith faces an assault charge for a stabbing about 100 miles away in Stokes County more than a week ago and authorities continue to look for him. “We had been told by a

DURHAM (AP) — Ask almost anyone at the Bahama Volunteer Fire Department, and they’ll tell you the same thing: Helping others is what keeps them motivated. For 50 years, Bahama firefighters have battled an enemy that is never totally defeated, but is knocked down time and again by volunteers who risk their lives to keep the northern Durham community safe. “I like helping people,” Bahama Fire Chief Len Needham said. Needham, 47, has served for 30 years at Bahama and as chief since 1997. “When I got in, I thought I’d do it for a little while, and I’ve just enjoyed it throughout the years and so I continue to do it,” he said. The department was formed June 15, 1960, and was galvanized later that summer when part of Mangum School in northern Durham burned. “That really just motivated people to get going,” Needham said. Today’s department has 42 volunteers, 20 auxiliary members and several paid, part-time firefighters. One paid firefighter is always at the station to guarantee that it’s staffed 24 hours a day. The department covers about 40 square miles that include 6,000 residents. It gets most of its $670,000 annual budget from fire district taxes. Needham, who grew up in Bahama, said he’s fought hundreds of fires in his 30 years, including homes owned by close friends. The department moved to a new station on 1814 Bahama Road about four years ago, about one-quarter mile from the original station, which is being used for storage and will eventually be sold. The department has 11 vehicles, including the chief’s car, fire pumpers, tankers and an ambulance, which Bahama keeps at the station and operates through the Durham County Emergency Medical Services. EMS provides the paramedics and Bahama provides the ambulance and driver. The addition of an ambu-
How To Get The Perfect Shoe Fit
lance has undoubtedly saved lives, Needham said, because it’s allowed paramedics to get to the scene of a medical emergency in about seven minutes, compared to the 20 it would take if the ambulance had to come from EMS at Durham Regional Hospital. The ambulance, equipment upgrades and the addition of paid firefighters are the main changes to the department since 1960, he said. The department gets most of its budget from tax revenues now, but in the first years it had to depend almost solely on donations. But Needham said one thing hasn’t changed: Having good people willing to serve. Volunteer firefighters must have more than 100 hours of training initially, and the training continues throughout their career. “We’ve got a great department and great members,” he said. “You can have the nicest station in the world, but it’s nothing without the people.” Patrick Lawson, 20, one of the paid firefighters who work 12-hour shifts at Bahama, has been with the department since he was 17, beginning as an unpaid volunteer. Part of Lawson’s training is in CPR, and he said he’s helped save at least one person’s life with that training. It’s times like those, he said, when he knows he chose the right career.
some places than plain water. Huffman has more than 700 vintage machines in a museum at his Antiquities Vending Co. in the Caldwell County town of Granite Falls, just outside Hickory. The collection is both a roadside attraction and a working archive of parts and operating systems for nearly every make and model of soda vending machine produced from 1925 to the late 1970s. Many are thought to be the only complete examples of their kind. Huffman’s main source of income is repairing and restoring vintage machines in a small shop adjacent to the former cotton mill building that houses the museum and a banquet hall he rents for special events. “I can pretty much put together anything anybody’s got,” said Huffman, who loves a mechanical challenge. When he gets a Vendolator that won’t vend or a Tyler Champion that won’t chill, he can unlock the museum, open the door on his complete version of the identical device and figure out what’s wrong.

Wilmington police told The StarNews of Wilmington that officers found the woman’s body in the Cape Fear River on Sunday afternoon. Investigators say there are no signs of injury or foul play on the body of the woman, whose identity won’t be released until her family is notified. An autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.

The Jesse Carson High School marching band makes its way up the street during the annual Faith Fourth parade.
PARADE FROM 1A
members gathered to enjoy the parade, but also to remember one of their own. Howard and Ethel Horton always sat there to watch the parade, nephew Kelly Rinehart said. The family talked of how they’d sit there in white rocking chairs, with ham biscuits and other refreshments ready for the parade. Howard passed away Friday, and Kelly said it wasn’t the same without him there. He said Ethel was spending the day with other family members. Still, despite the loss, Rinehart said he was glad to be back home. “There’s a generosity here you don’t see everywhere else,” he said. Friends, meanwhile, gathered under the maple tree in the Hortons’ front yard, watching the parade go by, continuing their tradition. Beth Pierce, center, and her mother Lynn Robbins, right dressed in white, dance to the music. Not far away, during the parade, a new story began. A man chose the parade as the day to propose to the woman he loved. He rode through the parade Family owned and operated in a car with a sign asking, in Salisbury “Will you marry me?” since 1939. Though spectators weren’t sure of his name, hundreds saw him drive up and propose. She got in the car, and they drove off together. Another Independence Day, another parade in Faith ... and, by all accounts, a new family that’ll be watching the celebration in the years to come.

For others, such as the groups of Shriners who take part every year, the Faith Fourth parade is about entertaining and helping those in need. Sonny Miller, president of the Rowan Shrine Club and member of the Oasis Temple in Charlotte, said he’s been in the parade eight years running. The men who march with bagpipes, drive go-karts and play in the Oasis steel drum band are bringing smiles to faces. Miller said he hopes they’re also reminding parade-goers about the aid Shriners give to injured children. “The ones you see who know what we do, who say thank you — that’s worth a tremendous amount to me,” Miller said. But there’s something special about being in the parade that one young person noticed, just as Ketner did, as he made his way down Main Street. Jonathan Shuping marched in the parade with Jesse C. Carson High School’s marching band. Shuping, who plays the trumpet, said it was a touching experience. “It’s wonderful to see everyone in the community coming together to celebrate,” he said. The people in the audience clapped and cheered the veterans who passed, waved and clapped again as patriotic motorcyclists passed by with flags on their bikes. And they celebrated the end of Independence Day weekend with gatherings of their own. On the steps of the Horton home on Main Street, family

FUNDS HAVE STRINGS ATTACHED
Henderson’s second life T
he faculty and staff of Henderson Independent School may wonder if they really won anything when the federal government awarded the Rowan-Salisbury School System $2.2 million over three years for Henderson. The strings attached to this grant look more like hangman’s nooses. But Henderson students’ great needs call for drastic measures. Under this program, the principal must be replaced, as must half the school’s faculty members. It sounds as though Henderson will be rebuilt from scratch. These are the types of changes experts believe troubled schools need in order to improve student achievement and raise the graduation rate. Henderson is considered the Rowan-Salisbury School System’s “alternative school,” designed for students who have run into problems in the traditional school setting. It had five graduates this year from a student body of less than 100. Though Henderson was among the 26 Rowan-Salisbury schools that met expected growth or high growth under the state’s ABC program in 2008-2009, achievement levels were low. Only 27.7 percent of the students who took English 1 scored at or above grade level; in Algebra 1, the percentage was 6.5 percent. So Henderson faces tremendous challenges. The temptation is to hold Henderson to a different, lower standard and let it go. But the state and federal accountability systems don’t let anything go. The school system had to get creative to win the grant money, and that may be to the Henderson students’ benefit. The school will offer child care, mental health services, increased use of technology and a greater range of class times to meet work schedules, including early morning and evening classes. And the school will get some basic programs it has missed out on so far, such as physical education and a school media center. Alternative schools need to offer just what their name says — alternative methods to help students achieve. This grant will bring new focus and energy to Henderson’s efforts. The development of this new Henderson Independent High School could be an education in itself.
There’s more than one way to recycle an old computer Last week the General Assembly approved a bill to include computers in North Carolinians’ curbside recycling pickup. Details TBA. This is great in concept; landfills fill up fast enough without old electronics. But don’t put your outdated computer on the curb yet. The city will have to work out a plan to deal with the law. Manufacturers are supposed to help carry the burden. Here’s a better idea that you can use immediately. Since 2005, the nonprofit Students in Training has been teaching youngsters how to fix computers — using old machines donated by local businesses and individuals. Students in Training held a summer camp recently, thanks to the Woodson Foundation, and the group has a new location at 415 S. Salisbury Ave., Spencer. For more information, go to www.sitorg.org. That outdated computer gathering dust in your den could be helping to educate a student.
The Southern memory Byrd came to regret segregationist gestures
T
he South, my birthplace and the birthplace of the late Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, always was and still is the most “enigmatic” region of the United States. Southerners are a people of extremes and contradictions. Perhaps nothing epitomizes the South’s perplexing character more than BILL “The MAXWELL politics. basic ingredients of Southern politics have always been emotions and attitudes about race,” wrote the late Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore Sr. in his book, “Let the Glory Out: My South and Its Politics.” Gore knew what he was talking about, having represented the Volunteer State in the U.S. House and the Senate from 1938 to 1971. Many scholars and opinion writers argue that the significance of race is fading in Southern politics. Perhaps. I think the late author Alex Haley had it right: “The Southern memory is of generations of life, of the good and the bad, the humor and the suffering from the past. The Southerner does not sentimentalize but only remembers.” Few Southern politicians understood the dubious utility of that memory and the politics of race better than Byrd, who died on June 28 at age 92. He competed for regional and national attention with many infamous peers: Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus, Alabama Gov. “Big Jim” Folsom, North Carolina Sen. Jesse Helms, Alabama Gov. George Wallace, Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox, South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond and Georgia Sen. Eugene Talmadge. Like his segregationist peers, Byrd had an essential gift: He was a demagogue in every sense of the term, at least during the early years of
his career. “The demagogues,” writes Alan Leveritt, publisher of the Arkansas Times, “have always understood that Southerners love the grand gesture.” Byrd, the longest serving member of Congress in American history, was master of the grand gesture, especially the racial gesture. In 1942, at age 24, he joined the Ku Klux Klan and quickly rose to the position of “Exalted Cyclops.” He vowed to fellow bigots that he would “never fight in the
It was Byrd who proposed $10 million to underwrite a Martin Luther King National Memorial in the nation’s capital. armed forces with a Negro by my side. ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.” As talk of equal rights for blacks emerged, with Northern Democrats going along, Southern whites sensed that the Old Confederacy was under assault. Byrd joined the Dixiecrat Party, a splinter group of diehard segregationists who left the Democratic Party in 1948. They opposed racial integration and fought to keep Jim Crow laws. Their slogan, which Byrd proudly proclaimed at meetings, was “Segregation Forever!” Byrd’s grandest gesture came in 1964, when he took to the Senate floor and delivered a 14hour, round-the-clock speech opposing the Civil Rights Act. The legislation passed, as did
LETTERS McCrystal had access to president I am 88 years old and a veteran of World War II. I have experienced it all as an enlisted man and as an officer in war and peace. President Obama handled General McCrystal’s situation in the only way possible. The general had complete access to Obama at any time to express his doubts or disagreement with the way the war was being executed — in confidence. To criticize a superior officer in public for all the troops to see could insubordination, riots and even rebellion among the ranks. The words “military discipline” are not to be ignored. An effective force must be unified in purpose and dedication at all times to arrive at a successful conclusion of any military operation. To retire as a four-star general, that person must have served in that capacity for a period of four years. The president recognized and reward-

other such legislation later on. In another grand gesture, Byrd opposed the nomination of Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court. He teamed up with FBI director J. Edgar Hoover to try to derail the confirmation by trying to prove that Marshall, the first black to be nominated to the court, had ties to the Communist Party. Then came the 1970s, when Byrd began to enjoy leadership positions in the Senate. He started to change, repeatedly apologizing for his racist past, calling his ties to the Klan and other such misdeeds “the biggest mistake of my life.” From that point on, he supported all civil rights legislation and antipoverty efforts. It was Byrd who proposed $10 million to underwrite a Martin Luther King National Memorial in the nation’s capital. Although he never lost his conservative roots, Byrd sided with Senate liberals on most bills and issues. What motivated him? This is what he told The Washington Post: “A leadership role is different, and one does represent a broader constituency.” He had come to see himself as a voice for ordinary citizens, supporting vocational schools, community colleges and adult education. In recent years, the NAACP gave Byrd a 100 percent rating on issues important to blacks and other ethnic minorities. This former Klansman was an early supporter of Barack Obama for president. As his health steadily declined, Byrd had a final grand gesture up his sleeve: Frail and confined to a wheelchair, he surprised many colleagues by being on call to vote for Obama’s health care reform legislation. Byrd, the one-time segregationist, changed for the better. And like his beloved South, he always will be an enigma. • • • Bill Maxwell is a columnist for the St. Petersburg Times.

ed McCrystal’s service by waving that requirement and allowed him to retire with the full benefits of that rank. It was a sad ending to a dedicated man and his career.

Lost and found There are still honest people in the surrounding area. While visiting Faith on Saturday night to celebrate the Fourth as I always do, I got my barbecue and preceded to the
picnic area. While I was eating, somehow my wallet slipped from my back pocket. Around 30 minutes later, the announcer at the band stand announced that my drivers license had been found. A lady by the first name of Lena had found my wallet and turned it in, insisting that I contact her to let her know I had received my wallet with everything intact. Not one thing had been tampered with. Thanks, Lena, for being an honest person willing to do what is right. You would not take a reward from me, but you will surely be rewarded at some point. — Bradley Eagle Salisbury
resident Barack Obama, who promised to take up comprehensive immigration reform early in his first year in office, finally got around to addressing that evermore-elusive goal just before the Independence Day weekend. The president spoke in DALE generalities, MCFEATTERS saying mass deportations and blanket amnesty were unworkable. The broad outlines of his solutions are: • Secure borders, by now an obligatory pledge in the immigration debate. • A pathway to citizenship for those of the 11 million people here illegally who have broken no laws, paid their taxes, learned English and are willing to pay a penalty. • Toughened enforcement against employers who hire and exploit illegal immigrants. These general principles are almost identical to President George W. Bush’s ill-fated immigration reform, and in a rare concession that his predecessor might have at last done something right, Obama praised Bush for his “courageous leadership” on the issue. The president, however, offered no specifics, no timetable — none of the deadlines he likes to set for legislation, and no indication of how he would engineer the political coalition necessary to get immigration reform passed. In that respect, Obama is worse off than he was last year. One by one and for various reasons, his potential Republican allies — Sens. Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Richard Lugar — have dropped off the issue, at least for this year. Even if the president could enlist all 11 of the GOP senators who originally endorsed immigration reform, the White House and the Congress have their hands full with more pressing issues - the faltering economic recovery, the BP oil spill, a change of command in Afghanistan, the pending drawdown in Iraq, finishing up financial regulatory overhaul and trying to salvage something out of energy legislation. And immigration reform is not something a lawmaker who doesn’t have to is going to tackle in this climate. Illegal immigration, as Obama pointed out, is all too prone to “demagoguery,” an issue that’s been used “to divide and inflame — and to demonize people.” It has become perhaps as toxic an issue as there is in American politics. The default position for politicians has become: Secure our borders first, without any consideration of whether that is even feasible short of replicating the Iron Curtain on our borders. It’s a fair question as to why the president chose to speak out on immigration when he did. A good guess would be both to reassure pro-reform groups and especially Hispanic voters that he hasn’t forgotten them and to frame the issue advantageously for the fall campaigns. Illegal immigration, both the issue and the people sneaking across the border, will be with us for some time. Comprehensive immigration reform is dead for this year and not in great shape for next year either.

Texas official says first tar balls wash up on state beaches
KEREM SHALOM CROSSING, Israel (AP) — Israel is easing its blockade of Hamas-ruled Gaza to allow in virtually all consumer goods, but the new rules are unlikely to restore the territory’s devastated economy or allow rebuilding of all that was destroyed in last year’s war. The White House welcomed the changes that were announced Monday as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flew to Washington for a meeting with President Barack Obama. International Mideast envoy Tony Blair said Israel’s measures “should have a dramatic influence on the daily lives of the people of Gaza and on the private sector.” The new blockade rules come in response to an outcry following a deadly Israeli raid on a blockade-busting flotilla at the end of May. The changes will improve Gazans’ access to goods from household cleaners to timber, but Israel will continue to ban most travel and exports from Gaza and restrict the import of desperately needed construction materials. Gaza business leaders and rights activists said the measures are far short of what Gaza needs, and that the only active cargo crossing, Kerem Shalom, may not be enough to bring in all the goods now permitted.
Clinton calls on Russia to meet ceasefire commitments TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton rebuked Russia on Monday for failing to live up to the ceasefire agreement it signed nearly two years ago to end the fighting in this small former Soviet state. She asserted that Russia is occupying parts of Georgia and building permanent military bases in contravention of the truce. “We’re calling on the Russians to enforce the agreement they signed,” she told a news conference with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili at her side. She said that includes pulling its troops back to the positions they held before the invasion. Several times she pointedly referred to Russian troops as occupiers of the breakaway Georgian territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. She said the U.S. was “appalled and totally rejected” Russia’s rationale for the invasion, which temporarily put U.S.-Russian relations in a deep freeze and prompted NATO to suspend cooperation with Moscow. “The United States is steadfast in its commitment to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” she said. “The United States does not recognize spheres of influence,” she added, referring to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s claim that his country has “privileged interests” and special influence in Georgia and other former Soviet states.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A leading Dutch environmental agency, taking the blame for one of the glaring errors that undermined the credibility of a seminal U.N. report on climate change, said Monday it has discovered more small mistakes and urged the panel to be more careful. But the review by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency claimed that none of the errors effected the fundamental conclusion by U.N. panel of scientists: that global warming caused by humans already is happening and is threatening the lives and well-being of millions of people. Mistakes discovered in the 3,000-page report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year fed into an atmosphere of skepticism over the reliability of climate scientists who have been warning for many years that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases could have catastrophic consequences, including rising sea levels, drought and the extinction of nearly one-third of the Earth’s species. The errors put scientists on the defensive in the months before a major summit on climate change in Copenhagen in December, which met with only limited success on agreeing how to limit carbon emissions and contain the worst effects of global warming. The underlying IPCC conclusions remain valid, said Maarten Hajer, the Dutch agency’s director. The IPCC report is not a house of cards that collapses with one error, but is more like a puzzle with many pieces that need to fit together. “So the errors do not affect the whole construction,” he said at a news conference.
Komorowski’s win strengthens party’s hold on Poland WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland chose a rival of the late president over his twin brother in a vote seen as a move away from three months of shock, grief and mourning that followed the death of Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash. Bronislaw Komorowski was declared the winner Monday, meaning his governing pro-business Civic Platform party now has a year of control of both government and the presidency before the next parliamentary elections. It represents a chance for them to fulfill promises to dismantle some remnants of the old communist-era welfare state. They have pledged to attack privileges ranging from permanent sick leave to low taxes for rich farmers in an attempt to prevent the European debt crisis from spreading to Poland. The eastern European nation of 38 million people is the largest of the new European Union members and has a vibrant economy that has grown even amid the global downturn. But it is still struggling with legacies from its decades of communist rule, including dilapidated infrastructure and large numbers of unemployed who haven’t adjusted well to capitalism — many of whom draw welfare benefits. Komorowski was elected for a five-year term, separately from the government, ending three years in which Lech Kaczynski, a social conservative who favored strong welfare protections, used his veto power to stop Prime Minister Donald Tusk from pushing through free market reforms.
About 1 million will gain health care coverage by 2011 WASHINGTON (AP) — The first stage of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul is expected to provide coverage to about 1 million uninsured Americans by next year, according to government estimates. That’s a small share of the uninsured, but in a shaky economy, experts say it’s notable.
Many others — more than 100 million people — are getting new benefits that improve their existing coverage. Overall costs appear modest at this point, split among taxpayers, employers and individuals who directly benefit, although the biggest part of the health care expansion is still four years away. For weeks, the White House has been touting the new law’s initial benefit changes, even as Obama dares Republicans to make good on their threat to repeal his signature social policy achievement. Now, a clearer picture is starting to emerge from the patchwork of press releases.
Starting school day half-hour later shows big gains in study CHICAGO (AP) — Giving teens 30 extra minutes to start their school day leads to more alertness in class, better moods, less tardiness, and even healthier breakfasts, a small study found. “The results were stunning. There’s no other word to use,” said Patricia Moss, academic dean at the Rhode Island boarding school where the study was done. “We didn’t think we’d get that much bang for the buck.” The results appear in July’s Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. The results mirror those at a few schools that have delayed starting times more than half an hour. Researchers say there’s a reason why even 30 minutes can make a big difference. Teens tend to be in their deepest sleep around dawn — when they typically need to arise for school. Interrupting that sleep can leave them groggy, especially since they also tend to have trouble falling asleep before 11 p.m. “There’s biological science to this that I think provides compelling evidence as to why this makes sense,” said Brown University sleep researcher Dr. Judith Owens, the study’s lead author and a pediatrician at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, R.I.
Venezuela honors Simon Bolivar’s lover CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — South America’s 19th century independence hero Simon Bolivar was reunited Monday with his controversial and audacious lover at a graveside ceremony. A coffer containing the symbolic remains of Manuela Saenz, an audacious woman credited with helping Bolivar liberate several South American nations from Spain, was moved alongside Bolivar’s tomb in an independence day celebration. The government of President Hugo Chavez is helping redress Saenz’s reputation, portraying her as one of the continent’s greatest heroines. Scorned as immoral and adulterous by some, Saenz spent the last years of her life destitute and her contribution to South America’s independence struggle against Spain was largely forgotten after she died during a diphtheria epidemic in 1856. Her body was burned and dumped, along with those of many other victims, in a mass grave in Ecuador. Chavez and Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa placed earth gathered from the grave where she was buried next to Bolivar’s tomb inside the National Pantheon as supporters of the two Latin American leaders cheered outside.
Charles Manson follower hopes for parole in 19th try LOS ANGELES (AP) — Leslie Van Houten, the onetime Charles Manson follower long seen as the most likely of his ex-acolytes to win freedom someday, faces her 19th parole hearing with a new lawyer and new case law which may give her the best chance yet for release. Even if there is a finding of suitability for parole at Tuesday’s hearing, freedom would not be immediate. The entire state parole board would review the decision within 120 days and it would

Van Houten, 60, remains incarcerated at the California Institution for Women at Frontera, the same prison where another Manson follower, Patricia Krenwinkle, is imprisoned. Susan Atkins, the third woman convicted of murder in the crimes directed by cult leader Manson, died in prison last year after parole officials denied her dying request for freedom. Van Houten last appeared before a parole board in 2007. Her chances for parole are enhanced by the fact that she has been discipline free since her incarceration in the early 1970s, has positive psychological reports and has been active in self-help groups at the prison including “Golden Girls,” a group for elderly women inmates. She has a new lawyer, Brandie Devall, who told The Associated Press she will refer to rulings by the California Supreme Court in 2008 and 2009 affecting standards for parole.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) — A Texas official said Monday that tar balls from the Gulf oil spill have been found on state beaches, becoming the first known evidence that gushing crude from the Deepwater Horizon well has now reached all the Gulf states. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said two crews were removing tar balls found on the Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston Island on Sunday. “We’ve said since day one that if and when we have an impact from Deepwater Horizon, it would be in the form of tar balls,” Patterson said in a news release. “This shows that our modeling is accurate. Any Texas shores impacted by the Deepwater spill will be cleaned up quickly and BP will be picking up the tab.” The state said responders have recovered about 35 gallons of waste material tainted by the oil from the two sites. Signs of landfall by oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill had previously only been reported in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

Widow lives with corpses of husband, twin WYALUSING, Pa. (AP) — The 91-year-old widow lived by herself in a tumbledown house on a desolate country road. But she wasn’t alone, not really, not as long as she could visit her husband and twin sister. No matter they were already dead. Jean Stevens simply had their embalmed corpses dug up and stored them at her house — in the case of her late husband, for more than a decade — tending to the remains as best she could until police were finally tipped off last month. Much to her dismay. “Death is very hard for me to take,� Stevens told an interviewer. As state police finish their investigation into a singularly macabre case — no charges have been filed — Stevens wishes she could be reunited with James Stevens, her husband of nearly 60 years who died in 1999, and June Stevens, the twin who died last October. But their bodies are with the Bradford County coroner now, off-limits to the woman who loved them best. From time to time, stories of exhumed bodies are reported, but rarely do those involved offer an explanation. Jean Stevens, seeming more grandmother than ghoul, holds little back as she describes what happened outside this small town in northern Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains. She knows what people must think of her. But she had her reasons, and they are complicated, a bit sad, and in their own peculiar way, sweet. Dressed smartly in a light blue shirt and khaki skirt, silver hoops in her ears, her white hair swept back and her brown eyes clear and sharp, she offers a visitor a slice of pie, then casts a knowing look when it’s declined. “You’re afraid I’ll poison you,� she says. On a highboy in the corner of the dining room rests a handsome, black-and-white portrait of Jean, then a stunner in her early 20s, and James, clad in his Army uniform. It was taken after their 1942 marriage but before his service in World War II, in which he fought in the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, James worked at a General Electric Corp. plant in Liverpool, N.Y., then as an auto me-
chanic. He succumbed to Parkinson’s disease on May 21, 1999. Though June lived more than 200 miles away in West Hartford, Conn., they talked by phone several times a week, and June wrote often. The twins — who, as it happened, married brothers — were honored guests at the 70th reunion of the Camptown High School Class of 1937. Then, last year, June was diagnosed with cancer. She was in a lot of pain when Jean came to visit. The sisters shared a bed, and Jean rubbed her back. “I’m real glad you’re here,� June said. On Oct. 3, June died. She was buried in her sister’s backyard — but not for long. “I think when you put them in the (ground), that’s goodbye, goodbye,� Stevens said. “In this way I could touch her and look at her and talk to her.� She kept her sister, who was dressed in her “best housecoat,� on an old couch in a spare room off the bedroom. Jean sprayed her with expensive perfume that was June’s favorite. “I’d go in, and I’d talk, and I’d forget,� Stevens said. “I put glasses on her. When I put the glasses on, it made all the difference in the world. I would fix her up. I’d fix her face up all the time.� She offered a similar rationale for keeping her husband on a couch in the detached garage. James, who had been laid to rest in a nearby cemetery, wore a dark suit, white shirt and blue knitted tie. “I could see him, I could look at him, I could touch him. Now, some people have a terrible feeling, they say, ‘Why do you want to look at a dead person? Oh my gracious,�’ she said. Part of her worries that after death, there’s ... nothing. “Is that the grand finale?� But then she gets up at night and gazes at the stars in the sky and the deer in the fields, and she thinks, “There must be somebody who created this. It didn’t come up like mushrooms.� So she is ambivalent about God and the afterlife. “I don’t always go to church, but I want to believe,� Stevens said. Dr. Helen Lavretsky, a psychiatry professor at UCLA who researches how the elderly
view death and dying, said people who aren’t particularly spiritual or religious often have a difficult time with death because they fear that death is truly the end. For them, “death doesn’t exist,� she said. “They deny death.� Stevens, she said, “came up with a very extreme expression of it. She got her bodies back, and she felt fulfilled by having them at home. She’s beating death by bringing them back.� There was another reason that Stevens wanted them above ground. She is severely claustrophobic and so was her sister; she was horrified that the bodies of her loved ones would spend eternity in a casket in the ground. “That’s suffocation to me, even though you aren’t breathing,� she said. So she said she had them dug up, both within days of burial. She managed to escape detection for a long time. The neighbors who mowed her lawn and took her grocery shopping either didn’t know or didn’t tell. Otherwise forthcoming, Stevens is vague when asked about who exhumed the bodies and who knew of her odd living arrangement. She blames a relative of her late husband’s for calling the authorities about the corpses. State police — who haven’t yet released the identities of those who retrieved the bodies — will soon present their findings to Bradford County District Attorney Daniel Barrett. A decision on charges is expected in a few weeks. Barrett said shortly after the bodies were discovered that authorities were looking into possible violations including misdemeanor abuse of a corpse. He also said violations of state health code provisions regulating how bodies must be disinterred are punishable as criminal offenses. Stevens has talked extensively with both the police and Bradford County Coroner Tom Carman, who calls it a “very, very bizarre case.� “I got quite an education, to say the least. She’s 100 percent cooperative — and a pleasure to talk to,� Carman said. “But as far as her psyche, I’ll leave that to the experts.�

Fishing with Capt. Gus: Hot weather boating, fishing tips After a really cold winter, it looks like we’re headed for a super hot summer. The mid-June heat wave caused Lake Norman’s surface water temperatures to soar into the mid to high 80s, making it feel like bath water. On days when the sun is bright and the wind is light, the heat becomes noticeable at 8 a.m. By 10 a.m., it’s time to seek shade and air conditioning. So, how can fishermen and boaters beat the heat and still enjoy time during the summer boating season? First, get an early start, especially if you plan to fish. It’s not just humans, but also the fish, that are affected by the summer sun. One reason is that fish do not have eyelids. Since they don’t, they go deep or
seek cover to avoid the blinding rays of the summer sun. The hotter the day, the more important it is to protect fish baits. Worms, minnows and crickets will die quickly if not sheltered. Minnows live best in an insulated bucket with aeration. If you want worms to be lively, keep them in a cool location away from the sun. Crickets also need shade or they will also die. Unhook fish with care and quickly release them. The longer a fish stays out of the water, the more likely it is to die. Due to the likelihood of dying, the North Carolina Resources Commission encourages anglers to keep any size striper up to the creel limit of 4 between June 1 and Sept. 30. All fish being kept should be put on ice immediately. It’s a good idea to have extra ice on
board throughout the summer to chill your catch and keep refreshments cool. Be certain that everyone on board has plenty to drink. The ice chest should have lots of chilled water and other drinks to replace the fluids lost to the summer heat. Staying hydrated is number one, but staying cool is also a challenge on a hot day. Does your boat have a T-top or a Bimini? If it doesn’t, wearing a hat will also help to keep you cool. While caps are popular, wide bream hats are even better because they shade the face and neck. Regardless, don’t leave home without protection for your head. The rest of the body should be protected as well, with a combination of sunscreen and lightweight clothing. One of the great things about
summer is that when all else fails, you can jump in the water to cool off. There are many boats that anchor and the people spend the day floating in the water — a cool way to spend a day. Lake Norman has dozens of islands suitable for beaching your boat, picnicking and swimming. Sandy shores are great places to spend a delightful summer day. But, remember, they are off limits to everyone from sundown to sunup each night. Upcoming event: Free Fishing Seminar on “Bank and Dock Fishing for Sunfish, White Perch, Catfish and Bass.” Gander Mountain, Exit 36 off Interstate 77, Wednesday, July 24, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Bring the entire family to this free event. Fishing with cane poles,
hooks and bobbers, live and cutbaits will be discussed. Suggestions will be given about the best places to fish from shore. Contact 704-6580822 for additional information. Recent hot spots: Striped bass are hitting lures trolled to 40 feet, from Governor’s Island south to Marker 3, and in Reed Creek from D9 out to the old river channel. Bass continue to surface feed throughout the day on points, humps and near boat basins. White perch are 15 to 50 feet deep. Best bets are Little, Reed and Davidson creeks. The lake level is about 2 below full pond and the water surface temperature is in the 80s and 90s. You can visit www. lakenormanstriperfishing. com or call Gus Gustafson at 704-617-6812.

Rare bear attack rattles Kentucky outdoors enthusiasts FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A black bear that mauled a hiker eluded traps last week and a scenic area in the Daniel Boone National Forest was closed to the public after the rare attack by an Appalachian bear on a human. Wildlife officers couldn’t find the animal that attacked, bit and shook Tim Scott of Springfield on June 27 in a remote area near Stanton in eastern Kentucky, state tourism spokeswoman Barbara Atwood said. “They had a bear sighting yesterday. However, they could not confirm that it was the bear in question,” Atwood said. “But they feel confident the bear is still in the area.” Scott, 56, survived and was released from a Lexington hospital. Scott said he was hiking in the Red River Gorge Geological Area ahead of his wife and son when he spotted the bear about 25 feet away. He said it appeared to be about 150 pounds and he took a few photos with his cell phone until the bear disappeared under a ledge. Scott said he was about to call his wife to tell her to take another trail when the bear reappeared. Scott said he yelled and dropped his belt bag, hoping to distract the animal. The bear just sniffed the bag and continued approaching Scott, who grabbed a rotted branch and hit the bear. But the animal kept coming. Eventually, the bear “lunged forward and grabbed me a bit, but let go.” Scott tried to move behind a tree for protection a couple of times, but he said the bear grabbed him by the leg and
threw him. Then, he said, it sank its teeth into his thigh and shook him. Anthony Gobel of Fowler, Ind., was among a small group of hikers who heard the commotion and came to Scott’s rescue. Gobel, a muscular 28-year-old service technician who climbs wind turbines for a living, estimated the bear weighed about 400 pounds. “I’m a 200-pound man, and he was definitely twice my size,” Gobel told the Associated Press. “His head was bigger than a basketball.” Gobel said his group was able to chase the bear away from Scott. “Once there was enough space between the bear and Mr. Scott, I got between them. He was pretty upset with me and lunged at me.” Gobel swung his pack. “I hit him as hard as I could,” he said. “I think it just stunned him. He wasn’t ready for anything like that.” Gobel said the bear followed the group for about a half mile. When they were a safe distance away, Gobel said he put his belt around Scott’s leg to stop the bleeding. “It was a pretty traumatic experience,” Gobel said. “At the time, I just wasn’t thinking really. I just reacted. I just used my instincts.” He added, “I’m thinking God put me there for a reason. It’s not a trip that we had planned. It just happened.” The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources said it was the first recorded bear attack on a person in the state that they’re aware of. Wildlife Division Director

Tim Scott provided this photo showing a black bear walking in the woods near Stanton, Ky. Scott got about 60 stitches after being attacked by the bear. Karen Waldrop said the agency’s policy is to kill any bear that behaves aggressively toward humans, and officials have closed the popular scenic area and set traps. Atwood said the closure should help keep the bear from being scared out
of the area. Black bears were common in Kentucky more than 100 years ago but disappeared due to over-hunting and loss of habitat. Over the past 20 years, they have found their way back from neighboring states such as Tennessee,
Virginia and West Virginia. The U.S. bear population more than doubled between 1989 and 2006, rising from 165,000 to over 350,000, according to The International Association of Bear Research and Management, a conservation nonprofit.
Coast Guard advisory comes as great white sharks are sighted BOSTON (AP) — As the summer tourist season ramps up, the Coast Guard is telling recreational boaters and paddlers to keep an eye out for predatory sharks in the ocean waters off the Northeast, warning that the creatures could easily capsize a small boat or kayak. The shark advisory, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard district that covers waters from Maine to New Jersey, came several days after the crew of a tuna boat caught and later released a 7-foot juvenile great white shark in the Stellwagen Bank fishing area, about 20 miles off Massachusetts. Several great white sharks were spotted off Cape Cod last summer, and experts believe more will return this summer, attracted by the exploding local population of seals, a favorite shark food. With a hot, sunny July Fourth weekend forecast, residents and tourists are expected to flock to beaches. Massachusetts officials held a news conference last week to stress that no great whites — the
kind of shark that taunted swimmers in the book and movie “Jaws” — had been spotted near beaches, and that beachgoers and swimmers should not be worried so long as they exercise “common sense” and avoid swimming near seals. In the Coast Guard advisory, Al Johnson, a recreational boating specialist, said boaters and paddlers generally don’t have to concern themselves with predators, and noted that shark attacks are extremely rare. “But I have no doubt that a great white shark that swims into your comfort zone would surely find a splashing paddle or dangling hand inviting,” Johnson wrote. “I also expect that same passing shark would spend little time differentiating between boater, paddler and prey.” Sharks spotted off New England have been as long as 15 feet, Johnson said. Recreational boaters and kayakers should steer clear of seal colonies or passing pods of seals, Johnson said. And anyone who spots a shark should resist any temptation to go near it.

Lawsuits filed over prize money for huge marlin MOREHEAD CITY (AP) — Two lawsuits have been filed over the $900,000 in prize money for a record-breaking marlin caught and then disqualified in a North Carolina fishing tournament. Multiple media outlets reported last week that the owners of the boat Citation sued in their home Dare County, seeking to prevent the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament from awarding the top prize money. The tournament’s board of directors then went to court in Carteret County, seeking a judgment to confirm the disqualification of the 883-pound blue marlin the Citation brought in June 14. The board wants to award the money to the boat Carnivore as the 2010 winner. The Citation was disqualified when tournament officials learned the boat’s mate did not have a North Carolina fishing license as required when it landed the recordbreaking marlin.
Hikers warned
MAZAMA, Wash. (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol is warning hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail they could face arrest, jail and a $5,000 fine if they cross the U.S.-Canadian border improperly. Hikers are being told to only enter the U.S. at designated crossings. The 2,650mile trail runs from Mexico through the U.S. and nine miles into British Columbia.

Ask Amy: Daughter neglects father on special days Dear Amy: My stepdaughter lives in a different state from my husband and me. After my husband and her mother divorced, she moved very far away. The relationship has been strained by distance, as well as his exASK wife’s attitude AMY toward him. We’ve maintained communication and a relationship with his daughter, and not a holiday has gone by without my husband sending her something — a card and/or gift. We helped pay for her wedding, and now that she has children we always remember them as well. My stepdaughter has let another Father’s Day go by without so much as a phone
call or card. She ignores his birthday and Christmas too. Sometimes she’ll let a week pass and then call to say hello, but not mention the holiday. This year I sent her an email saying that her dad’s birthday was coming up and that he’d love to hear from her. She never responded. My husband hates confrontation, so he won’t say anything — yet it hurts him terribly. Should I ask her why she does this? Or since I am the stepmother, should I stay quiet? — Wondering Stepmom Dear Stepmom: Unfortunately, you won’t be able to do much at this point to push these two into a more balanced state because your husband doesn’t dare to express himself. That’s a shame because unless your husband behaves
differently, nothing will change. He should find a way to convey to his daughter that their relationship can be better if they both try to make it that way. It’s possible that she would like to behave differently but doesn’t know how. He should let her know that he’s brave enough to hear whatever she needs to say to him. He should also admit that it hurts him when she doesn’t acknowledge him on these special days. After he has said these things, he will feel better — and no matter what his daughter does, this will help. Your role in this is to encourage him, rather than directly intercede on his behalf. Dear Amy: I have a friend who is the father of a 12year-old son. My friend’s son’s bedroom is filled with
stuffed animals. These are not “guy” toys, but pink, yellow, orange, etc., stuffed animals. We have tried to tell the dad that this is not appropriate for a young man, but he just scoffs at us. There are hundreds of these stuffed animals in this child’s room. What are your thoughts? — Wondering Friend Dear Wondering: Hundreds of any toy is too much for a child to have kicking around in his bedroom, but it’s not for you to judge the type of toys this child collects. It’s also not for you to judge whether stuffed animals are sufficiently masculine for someone else’s child to play with. If this dad seeks out your counsel on the quantity and quality of his son’s toys, then go for it. Otherwise, you should keep your views to yourself.
Dear Amy: I’d like to offer you some feedback as to what marrying couples who ask for cash for wedding gifts might be trying to accomplish. I’m a loan officer with a bank in the Washington, D.C., area. The FHA has a program called the Bridal Registry Account. It is a wonderful way for couples just starting out to get money for a down payment on a home. The FHA requires that all funds be documented as to their source to protect against fraud. If done correctly, it alleviates the donor of any financial minimum or maximum since the newlywed couple only gets notified that deposits have been made into their account, and while they know who gave, they do not know the amounts. This is great for friends
who may be struggling financially and only able to give a small gift. All the engaged couple knows is that they cared enough to give the gift, which is all that really matters, right? — Loan Officer Dear Officer:: I agree that this is a wonderful idea. People interested in setting up a gift registry can inquire at their local bank or search on the Internet for ways to participate in this program. Send questions via e-mail to askamy@tribune.com or by mail to Ask Amy, Chicago Tribune, TT500, 435 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60611.

Simple tools help make retirement planning easy I learned the best piece of investing advice I ever received in the newspaper: "When it comes to investing, seek advice but never grant authority." It told me that I need to become responMARY sible for makHUNT ing my own investment decisions instead of handing over that task to someone else simply because I don't know anything about investing. Making my own investing decisions has required me to learn on my own so I can understand and use outside advice wisely. Even if you can afford the services of a professional, you should learn the fundamentals. You need to be able to answer three simple questions for yourself: Am I on track to retire? How should I allocate my investments? What investment should I choose? You can come up with the answers to these questions if you have a computer and Internet access, said Elizabeth K. Miller, president of Summit Place Financial Advisors, in a recent interview with Bottom Line/Personal newsletter. Am I on track to retire? You can find out quickly by using the free "Retirement Nest Egg Calculator" at http://www.aarp.org/money. With this tool, you can discover how much you need to put away based on your age and the rate of return you think you can count on in the years ahead. The best part is you can play around with different scenarios. With the economy the way it is right now, Miller suggests trying 3, 5 and 7 percent returns to see how this changes your potential. How should I allocate my investments? Once you know how much you need to contribute each month, Miller advises that you look
seriously at your individual risk tolerance. MSN Money (http://money.msn.com) offers a free "Risk Tolerance Quiz," which will help you determine where you stand. After taking the 20-question quiz, you'll be able to figure out how you should allocate your current assets, as well as your future contributions. What investments should I choose? Miller introduced me to a fantastic website, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority's site (http://www.finra.org), which includes a very useful education component. At FINRA's website, click on "Investors" and then "Smart Investing." There you will find unbiased educational information that is easy to understand, which will help you figure out the types of investments you should choose. You will gain new understanding of the options your employer offers in your 401(k), as well as other investment and retirement accounts you might have. Once you know the kinds of investments you should make, pop over to http://www.morningstar.co m. Select the "Funds" tab (for mutual funds) and then "Investing Ideas" and "Fund Ratings" on the left side of the screen as you build your portfolio. If you are looking for individual stocks, go to the "Stocks" tab at the top of the screen. You'll be building a strong portfolio in no time at all!

‘Eclipse’ rises to $82.5M over holiday weekend LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” has risen to an $82.5 million haul over the long Fourth of July weekend and lifted its total to $175.3 million after just six days, according to studio estimates Monday. The vampire romance from Summit Entertainment finished at No. 1 over the fourday weekend, despite a steep drop in its daily take after a $68.5 million start last Wednesday, the second biggest opening day ever. “Movies that pop this big on opening day, it’s virtually impossible to keep up that breakneck pace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. “We’ve seen this with a lot of movies where the first day is their biggest day, then it kind
of settles into a more normal pattern.” Coming in second for the weekend with $53.2 million from Friday to Monday was Paramount’s action fantasy “The Last Airbender,” pushing its total to $70.5 million since opening Thursday. The movie did strong business despite terrible reviews. Disney’s Pixar Animation blockbuster “Toy Story 3,” which had been No. 1 the two previous weekends, slipped to third-place with $42.2 million, raising its domestic total to $301.1 million. “Toy Story 3” shot past last year’s “Up” at $293 million to become the No. 2 hit for Pixar, behind only “Finding Nemo” at $339.7 million. “Eclipse” waned after its huge opening day, with Sum-
males accounting for 35 percent of audiences, compared to just 20 percent for last year’s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” “New Moon” took in $142.8 million in its three-day opening weekend last November. That movie debuted on Friday, and the figure includes its record opening day gross of $72.7 million. For its first six days, “Eclipse” is $3.6 million behind “New Moon,” which had taken in $178.9 million at that point. “New Moon” went on to gross $296.6 million, a $104 million increase over the total for “Twilight,” the first movie in the franchise.

mit lowering projections for the movie through the weekend. On Sunday, the company was expecting a $181 million total for the movie’s first six days, but revenues came in nearly $6 million lower. Summit overestimated how big an audience “Eclipse” would draw on Sunday, when people were busy with Fourth of July barbecues and fireworks, said Richie Fay, the company’s head of distribution. “I don’t think it’s a reflection on the movie or ‘Twilight’ fatigue at this point,” Fay said. “Eclipse” earned better reviews than the two previous “Twilight” movies and the fan base has expanded, with

Although family is of utmost importance to you, so will be your social involvements in the year ahead. Many of your successes will be stimulated through persons you pal around with socially, so find some time for them as well. Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Don’t just wish and wait for good things to happen. Take the initiative to make that which you’ve been hoping a reality. Define your objectives and then go after them. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — The results for which you’re hoping will be there for you, but not necessarily on your first try. It’s important to stay with your objective, even if you have to try several different methods to achieve it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — An important lesson you’re likely to learn firsthand isn’t apt to be gleaned from books. The knowledge you’ll acquire through this personal experience will often be used both wisely and judiciously. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — You’re especially gifted with an ability to fit yourself into constructive situations others may have going for them. What you know might earn you a place in a very good deal. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Thankfully you’ll take plenty of time to study all the contingencies involving a major decision that must be made, because there could be a couple of major ones you might miss at first reading. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — An appreciative recipient of your past thoughtfulness will try to return the favor when s/he sees you could use some help. It proves that everything comes back to us eventually. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Even though you usually prefer to function independently of others, one of your more impressive achievements will come about with the assistance of another who pitches in. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re capable of being a strong finisher, so if there is anything significant that could use closure, don’t hesitate to take it on, regardless of its size. You can close this big job now. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — If you have important issues to discuss, and can’t do so during the day, check to see if the other party is available late afternoon or early evening. It’s a good day for making agreements. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Keep all your options open as to how you might earn some extra funds today. Something different might open up that would enable you to take advantage of a new moneymaking situation. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — This would be an excellent day to take that short trip you need to make for some kind of practical reason. Don’t put it off any longer, especially if you get that chance to do so. Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Let events unfold naturally instead of trying to manipulate everything to conform to your schedule. You’ll be far better off following loosely structured arrangements. UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE

Dear Dr. Gott: Any advice on how to treat tinnitus?
BY PHILLIP ALDER
United Feature Syndicate
Defense, as we are aware, is the hardest part of the game. Working out what to do is tough when you cannot see partner’s hand. Declarer enjoys a huge advantage in knowing all of his assets. Take the East hand in this deal. West, your partner, leads the spade king against four hearts. What would you do? You might have taken action over North’s opening bid. But would you have chosen a light takeout double or a twoclub overcall? It isn’t clearcut. North had an interesting rebid. Despite only 15 highcard points, he needed so little opposite — four hearts to the king-queen — for game in hearts to be laydown. North might have settled for four hearts (but that would have implied a big, balanced hand). Or he could have jumped to four clubs, a splinter bid showing game values in hearts with four-card support and a singleton or void in clubs. Or he could have rebid four diamonds, which promises 4-6 in the red suits with a strong diamond suit. Which would you choose? If you, East, play without thinking, you will signal with your spade nine, asking partner to keep playing that suit. However, if your side starts with three rounds of spades, South will ruff, draw trumps, and claim an overtrick. You should see the benefit of a diamond shift at trick two. Play your spade three. Then, partner should trust you and switch to a diamond.
Tuesday, July 6
If he does, the defense goes: spade king, diamond ruff, spade to the 10, and diamond ruff for down one.
Queen wraps up Canadian visit WATERLOO, Ontario (AP) — Queen Elizabeth II will tour the headquarters of BlackBerry-maker Research in Motion and will have a state dinner with the prime minister on the last full day of her nine-day visit to Canada. The queen on Tuesday heads to New York. There she will visit the site of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and also address the United Nations General Assembly. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty on Monday is expected to present the queen and Prince Philip with personalized BlackBerries with messages from him. The queen visited Canada to celebrate the country’s 143rd birthday and to mark the Canadian navy’s centennial.

Be sure to mention the title or print an order form off my website at www.AskDrGottMD.com. Dear Dr. Gott: I have horizontal ripples, bumps and concaves on my index-finger nail and thumbnail. My index finger has had the problem for years, the thumbnail for about six weeks. And other nails have been changing. I’ve gone to too many doctors to count, and there are still no visible changes or solutions. Any inkling would be appreciated. Dear Reader: Ridged nails are often an indication of a vitamin or mineral deficien-
cy, poor diet, the aging process or a loss of moisture. Shortages of A, B, iron, protein and calcium are commonly detected. Horizontal ridges have been linked to heart conditions, diabetes, kidney disorders and respiratory disease. As we age, the nails don’t always receive adequate moisture. If your diet is adequate, consider drinking more water each day and rub castor or olive oil onto your nails periodically. Dr. Peter H. Gott is a retired physician and the author of several books, including “Live Longer, Live Better,” “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Diet” and “Dr. Gott’s No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook,” which are available at most bookstores or online.

Rowan on the brink
South Rowan blasts its way past Wilkes BY BRET STRELOW
bstrelow@salisburypost.com
WILKESBORO — Patrick Bearden is the cleanup hitter for South S. Rowan 13 Rowan, which sent lefty Wilkes 2 Jesse Park to the mound Monday night. Both players experience success with low strikeout totals. Bearden smacked a three-run homer and registered seven RBIs in a 13-2 road win against Wilkes County. Park allowed eight hits, fanned five batters and surrendered one earned run while going all nine innings
for South, which has taken the first two games in the best-of-five playoff series. South, which finished with 24 hits, led 4-1 before Bearden’s sixth-inning blast provided some breathing room. “Usually we score all the BEARDEN runs in the first couple innings,” Park said. “Tonight we kind of did it last thing. We got 13 runs, so you can’t gripe about that.”

MOORESVILLE — Rowan County’s Mooresville 11 Zach Smith Rowan 0 went airborne at the fence in right-center, but another home run by Mooresville’s Chris Dula disappeared over the blue wall, just beyond his reach. Smith’s near-miss in the second inning was the only time Rowan came close on Monday night. Mooresville got two homers from Tyler Lewis and smart pitching from Wes Dumford and

buried Rowan 11-0 in seven innings. “There was nothing we could do,” said Rowan shortstop Preston Troutman, who started three double plays to stop an even bigger landslide. “They hit; we didn’t. You’ve got to give Dumford all the
credit for that.” The lopsided loss shoved second-seeded Rowan (23-10) to the brink of elimination and an early vacation. No. 3 seed Mooresville (21-6) goes for a sweep of the best-of-five series tonight at Newman Park. “We’ve had two good nights in a row, for sure,” said Mooresville coach Josh Graham said. “At the same time, we know we’ve done it against the back end of Rowan’s pitching rotation, and we know as well as anyone a team can come back and win three in a row.

Watch out! Harvick one of few who survived Daytona BY MARK LONG Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — The cracked, patched and deteriorating track held up better than most of the cars and some of the competitors. A wild night race at Daytona International Speedway — the last one on the track’s 32-year-old surface — ended with Kevin Harvick taking the checkered flag, teammate Clint Bowyer spinning through the infield grass and several angry drivers searching for answers.
Just another restrictor-plate race? Maybe. But this one also might be remembered as one of the more chaotic events at NASCAR’s most famous track. “Every time I looked KAHNE up, there was a crash going on,” second-place finisher Kasey Kahne said. It sure seemed that way, especially over the final 45 laps Saturday night. Despite a record 18 leaders and 47
lead changes, the real excitement resulted from six multi-car crashes in the second half of the race that essentially wiped out half the field. The biggest of them all, a 20-car melee that included four-time defending series champion Jimmie Johnson, came with 12 laps to go and halted action for 20 minutes. There was even more commotion after the race. With fireworks exploding and smoke lingering from Harvick’s celebratory burnout, Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch had a heated exchange.

Halladay beats Atlanta BY ROB MAADDI Associated Press
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roy Halladay pitched his seventh complete game on Monday.
PHILADELPHIA — Nearly an hour after going the Phillies 3 distance again, Roy Braves 1 Halladay walked over to reporters with ice on his arm and sweat dripping from his forehead. Maybe it’s his postgame workouts that make Halladay such a workhorse on the mound. Halladay pitched his major leaguebest seventh complete game this season, Greg Dobbs hit a two-run homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 3-1 on Monday night. “He pitched a super game,” manager Charlie Manuel said. “He’s a horse.” Halladay (10-7) allowed five hits
Mets lose
and struck out seven to record New York still trail his second Braves by two games straight comafter loss to Reds, 3C plete game. The All-Star righthander outdueled Derek Lowe (9-7) and needed just 93 pitches to finish. Then he really broke a sweat on the bike and doing arm exercises. “Just getting the blood moving,” Halladay said. Chipper Jones homered for the NL East-leading Braves. The two-time NL champion Phillies, who lost three of four to lowly Pittsburgh over the weekend, need to win this three-game series to avoid losing more ground in the division. They’re 17-23 in the last 40 games and
trail Atlanta by four games. Lowe allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings, striking out six. The sinkerballer gave up only two flyouts. “Lowe pitched another great game. Again we didn’t score any runs for him,” Braves manager Bobby Cox said. Lowe was cruising until Jayson Werth hit a one-out single in the sixth. Dobbs hit the next pitch into the seats in right-center for his second homer and a 2-1 lead. Jones gave the Braves a 1-0 lead in the first when he hit the first pitch he saw from Halladay into the seats in left-center for just his sixth homer. Halladay hasn’t received much support from a previously high-powered offense that’s been inconsistent this season. The Phillies have scored a total of 12 runs in Halladay’s seven losses.

Mets can’t gain ground on Braves The Major League roundup ... NEW YORK— The New York Mets had a chance to gain a game on the Atlanta Braves in the NL East. Joey Votto wouldn’t let them. Votto swatted a pair of home runs and the Cincinnati Reds took advantage of a rare overturned call by the umpires to earn a wild 8-6 victory over the New York Mets on Monday night. Drew Stubbs and Corky Miller each drove in a pair of runs during a strange six-run fifth inning, one that included everything from a run-scoring triple by rookie pitcher Travis Wood to Mets manager Jerry Manuel getting tossed for arguing with the umpires. Giants 6, Brewers 1 MILWAUKEE — San Francisco’s Aubrey Huff hit a two-run single after another costly error by Milwaukee shortstop Alcides Escobar. Buster Posey added a solo homer in the eighth for the Giants, who won for the second time in 10 games. Corey Hart extended his hitting streak to 20 games. Cubs 9, Diamondbacks 4 PHOENIX — Starlin Castro and Geovany Soto drove in two runs each and Tom Gorzelanny worked around six walks in five innings for Chicago. Kosuke Fukudome led off the game with a homer, Alfonzo Soriano notched his 800th career RBI with a

solo shot in the eighth and Gorzelanny (3-5) got his first win since May 19.
AMERICAN
DETROIT — Brandon Inge drove in four runs, Carlos Guillen knocked in three and Detroit outscored Baltimore early, then held on for a 12-9 victory Monday. Inge, Guillen and Johnny Damon each had three of Detroit’s 17 hits. Brennan Boesch was the only starter without one, but became the first Tigers rookie to walk four times in a game since Steve Boros in 1961. Indians 9, Rangers 3 ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt LaPorta hit a two-run homer, then later took an accidental elbow to the head and left the game as the Cleveland Indians won. Jayson Nix homered twice and rookie Carlos Santana also connected to help the Indians win for the seventh time in nine games. Texas slugger Nelson Cruz had a three-run homer wiped out after umpires watched a replay and correctly overturned the call. White Sox 9, Angels 2 CHICAGO — Carlos Quentin hit two late home runs and Gavin Floyd pitched seven solid innings to lead Chicago. Rays 6, Red Sox 5 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Jason Bartlett’s sacrifice fly in the seventh inning snapped a tie and Tampa Bay rallied from a four-run deficit against Daisuke Matsuzaka to beat the Boston Red Sox 6-5.

Woods’ struggles continue Associated Press
ADARE, Ireland — Tiger Woods looked just as out of form in a celebrity pro-am as he did on the PGA Tour. The world’s No. 1 golfer arrived Monday in Ireland just hours after his 46thplace finish at the AT&T National in Pennsylvania and shot a 7-over 79 in the first round of the J.P. McManus Invitational Pro-Am. The unranked event in County Limerick featuring Hollywood celebrities and Irish billionaires was his first overseas event since revelations of his extramarital affairs surfaced last year. While more than 40,000 Irish golf fans offered him a friendly and forgiving welcome, Woods’ opening round at the 7,463-yard, par72 Adare Manor Golf Resort was mostly dreadful. He bogeyed six holes, double-bogeyed the 5th, and managed a lone birdie on the 17th.
South (24-4) pulled away by scoring six times in the final two innings. Bearden accounted for six of his team’s first seven RBIs, and he drove in at least one run in each of his five official plate appearances. He had one walk, one homer, two RBI singles and two RBI groundouts. “He’s in the ‘4’ hole for a reason,” South coach Michael Lowman said. “It’s because he generally puts the ball in play. “A lot of times guys put people there that are big swingers but strike out a lot. I like a guy that gets contact. He’s been able to do that. He got two or three RBIs tonight by just putting the ball in play, then he runs into one. He did a good job of situational hitting.” Blake Houston led off the game with a double and scored on Bearden’s single to left. Maverick Miles (4-for-6 with two doubles, three runs scored and two RBIs) raced home on a Bearden groundout in the third inning. South moved ahead 4-0 in the fourth thanks to a Miles single that scored Tripp Cross and a Bearden single that sent Julio Zubillaga to the plate. Zubillaga singled with one out in the sixth and reached third on Miles’ double. Bearden then ripped an inside fastball over the left-field fence. “We’ve been working in practice on backsiding everything,” Bearden said. “I get up there, I’m looking backside hits the whole time. If they throw one inside, I just try to turn on it.” Park returned to Wilkes Central High School six days after posting a shutout in a seven-inning victory that closed the regular season. He needed only 29 pitches to complete three perfect innings, and Wilkes scored on a sacrifice fly in the fourth.

There’s no pressure.” On Monday, Mooresville kept the pressure on Rowan, starting with homers by Billy Nantz and Lewis off Cody Laws in the first inning. Dula’s bomb in the second made it 5-0. Nick Keith greeted reliever Alex Litaker with an RBI double in the third to make it 6-0, and the rout was on. Kyle Phillips’s two-run single and another homer by Lewis, Mooresville’s eighth in the series, finished the job.

against High Point.” Rowan had its chances in a 9-6 loss in Game 1 at Newman Park. In Game 2, it had no chance at all. Had it been a fight, plate umpire J.T. Bost would’ve stepped between the teams and awarded the Moors a TKO after two innings. “They hit the crap out of the ball,” Rowan coach Jim Gantt said. “They’re not intimidated at all, they’re digging in, and who are you gonna pitch to when everyone is hitting home runs?” Rowan hadn’t scored fewer than three runs in a game all summer, but Dumford allowed only four hits. Rowan had only one shot. That was in the fifth.

An unearned run crossed in the sixth. “He’s been able to throw strikes early in the count,” Lowman said. “He’s getting guys to put it in play, and guys behind him were making plays. (Middle infielders) Gunnar (Hogan) and Zubie made some more nice plays, and we were able to run down some balls in the outfield.” Park said he threw mostly fastballs in the regular-season finale. Assistant coach Kenny Simpson called for more breaking balls Monday. “I threw my breaking pitches for strikes in the bullpen, so he knew I’d do well with it in the game,” Park said. “I usually don’t do that well.”

Amare to New York
Waiting on Wade Associated Press
MIAMI — The word went out early Monday morning to Miami Heat fans. Show up at 8 a.m. and welcome Dwyane Wade back to South Florida, they were told. So they did. Right time. Wrong location. Wade arrived back in Miami, but instead of flying on a private jet into a charter facility — as the Heat marketing department expected — he took a commercial flight from Charleston, S.C., into one of the airport’s main terminals. So about 50 Heat fans, as well as a handful of team employees, left without a glimpse of Wade, who is expected to decide his playing future in the coming days. Later, Wade was seen walking into the Heat’s arena with owner Micky Arison. “He’ll hear that we were here,” said 20-year-old fan David Figueroa. “That’s enough, right?” Sure enough, Wade’s representatives confirmed that the six-time All-Star was aware of the gathering, albeit after he left Miami International Airport. The Heat leaked his travel plans overnight, telling fans to greet Wade at the Signature Air terminal at the airport. One of the triumvirate of marquee stars in this NBA free-agent megaclass, Wade could decide this week between the Heat, the New Jersey Nets, the New York Knicks and his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls.

LeBron remains mum Associated Press
AKRON, Ohio — A pointed finger, smile, chuckle and head shake. That was all. If LeBron James has made up his mind, he’s not saying so. The NBA’s most wanted man offered no clues about his highly anticipated free agent decision on Monday after making an unexpected appearance — and getting in a few full-court hoop games with good friend Chris Paul — at his Nike skills academy at the University of Akron. After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow, James, wearing a white T-shirt and his familiar New York Yankees cap, headed toward the door of Rhodes Arena. On his way out, he was asked by The Associated Press if he had anything to say. James pointed toward a reporter in the balcony, smiled and shook his head in amuse-
ment. He then drove away in a white Bentley, one of seven vehicles in a caravan that included Paul, manager Maverick Carter, business partner Rich Paul and security personnel. Carter also declined comment to The AP. James, who is considering offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and at least four other teams, was not expected to appear at the first day of the camp, which features some of the nation’s top high school and college players. However, not only did James show up, he got in a spirited workout that included shooting drills and scrimmages. James guarded Duke’s Kyle Singler and Dayton’s Chris Wright during the 5-on-5 runs that were watched by everyone in the gym. He was in a good mood and spent part of the time joking around with Paul and former Cavs teammate Damon Jones.
NEW YORK — Amare Stoudemire is headed to the New York Knicks, and both sides are hoping he’s not coming alone. The Knicks said Monday they intend to sign Stoudemire to a contract later this week when the free agent moratorium period ends. Stoudemire’s agent, Happy Walters, said the deal is for the maximum allowed, which would be nearly $100 million over five years. Wearing a blue Knicks hat, Stoudemire said he looked forward to rebuilding a franchise and bringing the Knicks back to the top — maybe with a player such as LeBron James or Dwyane Wade with him. “I feel great about being a pioneer and showing my leadership,” he said at Madison Square Garden, where signs throughout the entrances showed the player pictured in a Knicks uniform and reading “Welcome, Amare Stoudemire.” The deal can’t be signed until Thursday, after the salary cap for next season has been set. It was a desperately needed score in free agency for the Knicks, who spent two seasons clearing enough cap space to afford two top players. They met with James, Wade and Chris

Bosh last week and believe they could still land one of them. Stoudemire has already started recruiting, saying he spoke to James’ people and directly to Wade last week. And he said he won’t be affected if those players say no to New York. “Totally comfortable, totally confident that my leadership qualities will uplift all of us to do something great this upcoming season,” Stoudemire said. “So again, the Knicks are back.” The move reunites Stoudemire with Mike D’Antoni, his former coach in Phoenix. Stoudemire averaged more than 20 points in every season they were together and immediately becomes the best player D’Antoni has coached since leaving the Suns after the 200708 season. “He’s a dominant offensive player for sure, in a variety of ways,” D’Antoni said.

Denny Hamlin immediately jumped on Twitter to blast any changes, while Johnson and Carl Edwards expressed fear of doing anything too drastic. Current series points leader Kevin Harvick was more cryptic about his opposi-
tion toward change. “I have thoughts on it, but I don’t know that I should express them,” he said. “We’ll see what they come up with, (France) knows my thoughts on it.” But France needs to make decisions right now based on what’s best for the sport. That goes for the Chase, and a myriad of scheduling requests from track operators International Motorsports Corp. and Speedway Motorsports Inc. For too long things have stayed status quo because NASCAR falls back on the tired “that’s how we’ve always done it” excuse, even though the original reasoning for so many systems no longer applies. It’s often more about not wanting
to upset the apple cart than it is about making thoughtful decisions that can better the sport. The old way of crowning a champion based on a 36-race body of work was boring, and a driver wrapping up a championship with two or three races to go in a season isn’t very interesting. And it’s not coming back, ever. The Chase is here to stay, and it’s a very good thing for the sport. However, France cannot continue to tweak the system every few years and expect fans to ever accept a system that changes every time NASCAR wants more interest. He’s got to get it right this time around, once and for all.

Five steps to ensure a health crisis 10 Things to Know About doesn't mean financial ruin Census Takers (ARA) - A serious long-term illness or disability can have a devastating, often irreversible, affect on a family's financial well-being. In fact, health care expenses are among the most common cause of bankruptcies, according to findings published in the "American Journal of Medicine" last year.
"People are often reluctant to reach out to their mortgage company or their landlord, they start missing payments, and the foreclosure or eviction process starts before they finally explain the situation," says Gada. "By that time, it may be too late."
* Seek assistance with utilities, food and other necessities. Conserve your resources by finding assistance to help you cope. Hundreds of federal, local and private resources are available in most communities. These can range from neighborhood food pantries to federally funded programs, such as Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

Most people are not financially prepared to have their employment interrupted, even briefly. For example, studies find more than 60 percent of workers live paycheck to paycheck. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that the personal savings rate in March was just 2.7 percent of after-tax income.
"First, have hope, because there are things you can do to take control," says Paul Gada, personal finance director for the Allsup Disability Life Planning Center. Allsup is a nationwide provider of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) representation and Medicare plan selection services.
Many more people indicate they are considering assistance than are actually securing this assistance, according to an Allsup poll. They may not understand how to apply or they may not meet the income thresholds initially, but could later on as they spend down their assets.

A Census Taker WILL: 1. Carry a white, government-issued ID card with official U.S. Census Bureau seal and his or her name handwritten on it and/or a black shoulder bag with “U.S. Census Bureau” written on it. 2. Introduce himself or herself and show you the confidentiality statement. 3. Census takers will have a flashcard containing a sentence about the 2010 Census written in approximately 50 languages. 4. If asked, provide contact information for a supervisor and/or the Local Census Office for verification. 5. Ask only the questions that are on the questionnaire. A Census Taker WILL NOT: 6. Ask to enter your home. 7. Ask about your Social Security number or immigration status. 8. Ask for your income, bank account number, or other financial information. 9. Ask for PINs or passwords. 10. Ask for a donation or money. About “Nonresponse Follow-up” (NRFU) Operations From May 1 until mid-July 2010, census takers will visit households that did not mail back their 2010 Census forms in by mid-April. Census takers will visit each address up to three times and may try to telephone up to three times. If a resident does not answer, the census taker will leave a door hanger with a number the resident can call to schedule an interview time. If contact is made by phone, the census worker will conduct the interview with the household member. For more information, visit 2010census.gov.
About the 2010 Census The 2010 Census is a count of everyone living in the United States and is mandated by the U.S. Constitution to be conducted every 10 years. Census data are used to apportion congressional seats to states; to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to local, state, and tribal governments each year; and to make decisions about what community services to provide. The 2010 Census form will be one of the shortest in U.S. history and consists of just 10 questions, taking about 10 minutes to complete. Strict confidentiality laws protect the respondents and the information they provide.
Unfortunately, approximately 15 percent of people awaiting SSDI report raiding their retirement savings. Additionally, 17 percent are relying on their credit cards and 7 percent on home equity lines of credit to meet financial needs until they receive their SSDI benefits, according to the Allsup Disability Finance online poll. The poll was conducted online this spring with 138 respondents.
* Pursue income sources, including SSDI. If you have paid into the Social Security Disability Insurance program, you may be eligible for benefits. If you are eligible, it's essential to apply quickly as it can take up to two years or more to be approved. Gada advises seeking help with your SSDI application to speed the process. For example, people with disabilities represented by Allsup are significantly more likely to receive SSDI benefits at the initial level.
* Contact your mortgage company or landlord. As part of this, identify housing assistance programs. For example, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has programs to assist with mortgage modifications, as well as rental assistance that can lower housing costs drastically. However, there are waiting lists, so it's important to sign up as soon as possible.
"It's heartbreaking to hear of people with serious illnesses and disabilities unable to work and struggling month after month to pay for food or medical costs until they're financially wiped out," says Gada. "It shouldn't be that way. There are steps people can take, but they need to ask for help and know how to get it."

A penny saved is a penny earned…
by Linda Beck email: lindainthecards@gmail.com
and other financial lessons from the past Submitted by Jennifer Myers
MAKING A COMMITMENT TO SOMETHING GREATER
If the recent financial turmoil has taught us anything, it’s that maybe we should pay attention to the age-old clichés that our parents and grandparents passed on to us.
As adults, we all know what a commitment is. Sometimes our first major commitment was made at the altar on our wedding day. Then children came along and we really found ourselves committed for life.
Take it one day at a time…the new reality for most Americans when it comes to financial recovery.
I noticed a billboard of some soldiers with the logo, “Committed to something greater than themselves.” I think they were Marines but that is one negative factor about driving; you can’t read roadside signs as well as when you are a passenger.
You get the idea. So keeping the “what’s old is new again” mantra in mind, here are some famous clichés from generations before that could serve us well in 2010.
Obviously, their commitment is to freedom for our country. We may not be committed to military service, but have you ever committed yourself to keeping our highways clean? Have you committed to paying taxes, perhaps even without grumbling? Have you committed to exercising your right to vote? Do you ever step forward and point out trouble spots in your community? That is not always the most popular thing to do. I know there have been times when I’ve been considered a grouch, but I prefer to consider myself the “squeaky wheel that gets greased.” One of our presidents once said “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.” Are you committed to standing up for what is right? Just before writing this, I came across a quote that goes like this: “Anyone that kneels before God can stand before anyone.” I believe everyone who knows me is aware that I cannot physically “kneel” before God, but He knows my heart when I tell others about all He has done for me. I could keep asking questions, but I should move on to what really attracted me to this slogan. What I am committed to that is greater than myself, is my covenant to tell others about Christ. There was a period in my life when my motto was not to discuss politics or religion. I have to admit that I still prefer not to talk about politics. The biggest problem I’ve had in discussing religion is that some of my favorite scripture has fit the platform of various articles. I fear there are times when folks think they have read a story somewhere else. It is not normal for me to print a particular story in more than one place. There was a comment on the internet that a reader had read “that story” before. He had…but it was a fluke of publishing, not my error. But I have a page long listing of some of my favorite scriptures that I would share here except for space. I have passed copies of the list a lot of places where I speak. Have any of those recipients opened their Bible to check out those scriptures? My speaking/writing ministry has helped me “sow the seed.” God’s word, whether in the Bible, through a televangelist, or in Christian books can provide the sunshine and rain, but the Holy Spirit will reap the harvest.
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket…a poster child for diversification.
the standard financial protection that we always took for granted. If you terminated your life insurance policy, now is the time to begin shopping around for a new one. It’s hard to think about, but if something happened to you would your family be able to maintain their current lifestyle? Could they stay in the house so the kids would not have to move and switch schools? The time to protect your family is now. And, you know what they say, never put off until tomorrow, what you can do today. 5.) Home is where the heart is. It’s also where most of your equity probably is too.

Americans may be the most medicated people in the world, say statistics. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug daily, while one in six take 3 or more. That means trips to the pharmacy are commonplace and individuals need to get the facts before they drop off their next prescription.
Hospice . . . It’s not about giving up hope. It’s about letting HOPE in for support when you need it most.
* Over-the-counter medications may be adequate: Oftentimes prescription drugs are just a higher dosage of an over-thecounter product. For example, a prescription-strength painkiller may be 500 mg, while an OTC pill is 200 mg. You may be able to simply take more of an OTC and save on prescription costs. Just check with the pharmacist for substitutions.

* Pharmacists know more about medications than your doctor. If you have a question about a medication, it is probably better to consult with your pharmacist. Your pharmacist has spent more time studying drugs than your doctor has and must hold a doctorate in pharmacy or a bachelor's degree in pharmacology if they received their degree prior to 2004. * Talk to your pharmacist. The pharmacist is required by law to counsel his or her customers. If a pharmacist seems too busy to talk, take your business elsewhere. Also, it's wise to ask about prescriptions, considering half of the prescriptions taken in the U.S. are used improperly.
Don't just rely on the medication print-out; ask in person to double-check that you're getting the right prescription. * Some drugs get extra scrutiny. Prescriptions for pain killers as well as sleeping pills are often examined more carefully than other prescriptions. As a result, it's harder to be approved for extra refills, regardless of how much you think you need more. * Handwriting woes. A doctor's handwriting is not just a mystery to the layperson. Sometimes pharmacists have trouble decoding the scribble, too. Electronic prescriptions can reduce errors, but few doctors use this method of prescribing medication. * Speed up your time at the pharmacy. Monday and Tuesday evenings tend to be the busiest for pharmacies because people tend to drop off prescriptions over the weekend. Also, drivethrough windows are convenient for customers, but not necessarily the pharmacist. They can get distracted, and that doesn't bode well when concentration is needed to properly fill your script. * Not all generic drugs are the same. Generics can save money and are very close to original formulas. But subtle differences between different brands of generics and the original medication can cause different reactions in the body. For blood thinners and thyroid drugs, for instance, you may want to stick with the name brand.

* Travel perks. Many seniors love to travel, and can even do so at heavily discounted prices. Larger hotel chains often offer seniors discounts as high as 10 percent. Unfortunately, many U.S. domestic airlines, facing higher fuel prices and dwindling business due the global economic downturn, ceased offering senior discounts in 2009. However, certain airlines, including Southwest Airlines, still offer discounted rates to seniors. These discounts can be as much as 10 percent. It's also common for car rental agencies to offer senior discounts. * Transportation. Many communities provide heavily discounted, if not free, rates to seniors for public transportation. Consult with your local govern-
ment to determine if you qualify for senior discounts. * Food. Grocery stores commonly offer discounts to older customers, and many times you don't even need to be a senior citizen to qualify. In general, chains offer senior discounts, including special days for seniors to shop, to anyone over the age of 55. Restaurants are also known to offer senior discounts, and often these discounts extend beyond "early bird special" discounts of yesteryear. While early bird specials still exist, many chain restaurants offer discounted prices to seniors regardless of time of day. In many cases, these discounts aren't listed on the menu, but it never hurts, and typically saves, to ask. * Arts and culture. Seniors looking to spend a day or night on the town and take in some culture can typically do so at a discounted rate. Museums and National Parks typically offer discounted admission to seniors, as do movie theaters and even some concert halls.

Georgetta's Sliders Serves four Ingredients: 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 pinch paprika 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck 1 tablespoon Big House Red wine 12 3-inch dinner rolls 2 yellow onions 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bunch watercress 1 bunch radicchio Caramelized onions (saute sliced onions in olive oil slowly to caramelize) Directions: In a medium bowl, combine onion powder, paprika, garlic, pepper, salt, wine and beef. Shape into 12 small 3-inch round, 1/2-inch thick mini-patties. Grill until browned, three to four minutes per side. Heat or grill dinner rolls tops until slightly toasted; put the bottom bun on top of the grilling onions to absorb the flavorful steam. On bottom of each roll, place the grilled patty first, followed by the grilled onions, watercress and radicchio. Cap with the dinner roll top.
Backyard grilling: Sliding into summer with savory sliders (ARA) - The backyard barbecue grilling season is in full swing and hamburgers continue to reign supreme as one of America's favorite grilled foods. Whether you cook with gas or charcoal, nothing beats the flavor of a juicy burger right off the grill. And, whether you're into bold flavors or basic toppings, nothing tops off a burger better than a great glass of wine. While many backyard cooks have mastered the art of grilling a full-size burger, most shy away from the smaller version known as the "slider." Wildly popular in restaurants throughout the country, these bite-sized burgers are a snap to prepare on the grill and pair perfectly with a great tasting glass of red wine. And, by dishing out sliders, you use less meat (which helps you save) and keep your family happy. The origin of the slider is attributed to real estate and insurance agent Edgar Waldo "Billy" Ingram who teamed up with cook Walter Anderson to open the
first White Castle hamburger stand in Wichita, Kan., in 1921. The restaurant served up patties of ground meat cooked on a griddle, plenty of diced onions, a pickle slice and served on a soft yeast bun. In those days, serving a burger with wine was unheard of but fortunately, those days are behind us. "The right wine works like a spice, helping to enhance the flavors of your grilled food," says Georgetta Dane, winemaker for the popular and well acclaimed Big House wines. Big House (so named because it is made near Soledad Prison in Monterey County, California) is a quirky but delicious blend of 21 Italian and French varietals such as Sangiovese, Syrah and Grenache. "It's ripe and fruity with good structure," says Sam Gugino, contributing editor to Wine Spectator magazine, chef, restaurateur and cookbook author. "It's a favorite summer sipper for me and it pairs very well with burgers, steaks and lamb chops."
"Paprika is one of my favorite spices. I use just a pinch along with a tablespoon of Big House Red to really make the flavors come together," notes Georgetta. "I serve these along with the 2008 Big House Red in the 3-liter Octavin Home Wine Bar cask. The wine pairs very well with the sliders and allows my guests to easily serve themselves. The new package guarantees freshness for at least six weeks once opened." For summer entertaining, Georgetta's Sliders are easy to prepare, full of flavor and a real crowd pleaser. Pair them with red wine and you have the ultimate worry-free barbecue. For more information on Big House and Octavin Home Wine Bar wines, go to www.octavinhomewinebar.com.

Myths about the aging brain revealed (ARA) - Who says you can't teach a mind new tricks at any age? Recent research shows that Americans have the power to positively influence their brain function throughout life - an important realization that is especially relevant for the more than 78 million baby boomers in the United States. Brain health is one of the top health-related concerns of aging populations and has been identified by the Centers for Disease Control as a public health priority.
A decade ago, many experts would have scoffed at the idea that the brains of adults, particularly older adults, could grow or develop in any significant way. But that has changed. Research increasingly suggests that each time a new skill is learned, such as playing an instrument, speaking a foreign language or even dancing, new pathways are formed and areas of the brain may grow, even well into the later years. Physical and mental exercise can alter specific brain regions, improv"The fear of memory loss and los- ing in cognitive function.

lished online in May in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association, showed that healthy people with memory complaints who took algal DHA capsules for six months had almost double the reduction in errors on a test that measures learning and memory performance versus those who took a placebo, a benefit roughly equivalent to having the learning and memory skills of someone three years younger. DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid and a building block for the brain. Algal DHA products comparable to those used in this study can be found at major retailers like Walmart, CVS and Walgreens under the Algal-900 product name - look for the life'sDHA seal on these supplements to ensure you are getting an algal DHA source.

that mild forgetfulness must be a sign of Alzheimer's disease. But most people are worrying needlessly research shows that more than 80 percent of people will never get Alzheimer's disease. Some experts now believe that it is time to redefine everyone's understanding of agerelated memory loss and dementia. Emerging research indicates that many people experiencing memory loss and dementia actually have mixed pathologies in their brains. In fact, very few senior citizens have "pure Alzheimer's disease." Instead, late-life cognitive impairment may in fact be a result of multiple "hits" to the brain, from a variety of risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, chronic stress, head trauma and poor diet. The good news? There is the opportunity to influence brain health and function by incorporating lifestyle factors like exercise, a healthy diet, stress reduction and intellectual and social engagement. Regardless of family
history, the choices a person makes in life may be able to slow the progression of age-related cognitive decline or help prevent it altogether. 4. Brightest equals youngest. Today's society does place an emphasis on age but, keep in mind, people over 65 rule the country. The majority of legislators, CEOs, doctors, lawyers, judges, economists and CEOs are not in their 30s or 40s, but seasoned veterans who bestow several decades of experience and expertise. Along with gray hairs come both knowledge and wisdom and you do not have to look far to find inspiring stories of accomplishment, creativity and reinvention in the second half of life.

Phony calls aren’t really from Medicare, warns AG Cooper Don’t fall for a new telephone scam that tries to get Medicare recipients to give up their personal financial information, Attorney General Roy Cooper warned last week. “Scammers keep coming up with new ways to trick you into sharing your personal financial information,” Cooper said, “Don’t fall for it, even if the calls claim to be from a government agency or company you know.” Some North Carolina consumers report getting calls that claim to come from Medicare, asking for personal financial information such as their checking account number. The calls show up on consumers’ caller ID as coming from 1866-234-2255, which is a legitimate Medicare office telephone number. When consumers call the number back, they now get a message that says that scammers have spoofed the number and consumers should report the call to their state attorney general or federal authorities. Spoofing occurs when scammers make it appear that their calls or emails come from a legitimate telephone number or email account. Approximately 20 North Carolinians have contacted Cooper’s Consumer Protection Division to report this scam over the past couple of weeks. Similar fraudulent calls have also been reported in other states. Cooper offered the following tips to help consumers avoid falling victim to scams like this one:
• Never share personal financial information with someone you don’t know who calls you, emails you or comes to your home uninvited. • Government agencies and businesses will not call you or email you to ask for your financial information. If you get such a call from an agency or company with which you do business, hang up and call the organization back at a telephone number you know to be legitimate, such as a number listed on a recent account statement or in the phone book. • Keep in mind that caller ID can be manipulated to show different telephone numbers.

Medigap Updates go into Effect in June
Have you heard about changes to Medigap (also known as Medicare supplement) coverage? Wondering if the changes will affect on your current Medigap policy? Medigap policies are private insurance policies sold by insurance companies through licensed agents. Beginning January 1992, Medigap policies became standardized, and there are no differences in the standardized plans among insurance carriers. Medigap policies are regulated by the state and must also comply with federal rules. Prior to June 1, 2010, there were 12 different standardized Medigap plans available that were identified by characters A through L (plus a High Deductible version of Plans F and J). In July 2008, Congress passed The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (MIPPA) which authorized states to implement recommendations from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners to update the Medicare Supplement model effective June 1, 2010. The changes effective June 1, 2010 include: • A Hospice benefit is being added as a basic benefit to all plans sold. This benefit will cover cost-sharing for all Part A eligible hospice and respite care expenses. This new benefit will not be added to policies issued prior to June 1, 2010.
• Medigap plans E, H, I, J, and the High Deductible version of Plan J will no longer be available to purchase after May 31, 2010. People who purchased these policies prior to June 1, 2010, can keep them as the plans are guaranteed renewable for as long as premium continues to be paid. • Two new plans, Plan M and Plan N, are being added. These plans have a higher costsharing (deductibles, co-payments) but are expected to have a lower premium cost. If you are currently covered under a Medigap policy issued before June 1, 2010, do you have to obtain one of the new 2010 standardized policies? No, you do not as your policy is guaranteed renewable as long as you pay your premium. However, if you would like to apply for a new 2010 standardized policy, you can do so but a company is not required to issue one to you. Your current company may offer you an opportunity to exchange your existing policy for a new 2010 standardized policy, but they are not required by law to make this offer. Should you have questions concerning Medigap or any other Medicare product, please call the Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP) at 1-800-4439354. Counselors are available to assist you Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

An interesting study from the University of Warwick Medical School found that middle- aged and older adults with high levels of vitamin D could reduce their chances of developing heart disease or diabetes by a whopping 43 percent. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods and is also produced when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel are good sources of vitamin D, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. Researchers looked at 28 studies including 99,745 participants across a variety of ethnic groups including men and women. These studies revealed a significant association between high levels of vitamin D and a decreased risk of developing the three disorders: • Cardiovascular disease (33 percent compared to low levels of vitamin D), • Type 2 diabetes (55 percent reduction) and • Metabolic syndrome (51 percent reduction). The literature review, published in the journal Maturitas, was led by Johanna Parker and Dr Oscar Franco, Assistant Professor in Public Health at Warwick Medical School.
